“Kendall was absolutely amazing! She stopped by to do a meet and greet on short notice and was also able to check in on Leia for an extra day due to my plans changing. She was so great with Leia and I could tell that Leia really enjoyed her time with Kendall as well. She gave so much attention to Leia while with her, and I really appreciated that. She gave very detailed check ins(with lots of pics), which was so nice as I was out of town. I could not recommend Kendall enough if you are in need of someone to show lots of love to your pup!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.

“Amazing experience with laralen! She really shined in sending loads of pictures and keeping me updated with my pup while I was out of town. Would recommend her for any future pet needs”
“Emily did great with my cat Connie. She was very responsive when I was out of town and had an emergency situation with Connie’s feeder. She rushed right over and problem solved quickly! 😁”

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including professional dog daycare and veterinary hospital experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or attention. I’m experienced with exercise, enrichment, feeding, medications, basic training, and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I worked in a veterinary clinic throughout the summer and am now starting school, so my availability is more flexible around my class schedule. I’m unavailable on most Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m willing to work around it from time to time. I’m available most other weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. My veterinary and professional animal-care experience has taught me how to safely handle pets with different temperaments, ages, and needs. I’m attentive to behavior, follow care instructions closely, and will keep you updated throughout each visit.
About: I have a Heeler/Catahoula mix named Zeke who is the biggest baby potato and sweetest boy who gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids. I currently am on a study break for the summer and have extra time to spare. I am able to work around schedules and care for fur babies on the fly. I have a dog of my own named Zeke who plays well with other animals, kiddos, and people. He loves having playdates with his fellow dog friends and going out exploring on the trails. He would welcome new friends who would come over, or would enjoy tandem walks/ adventures.
About: Hi! If you’re needing someone to give your fur baby some extra love, time and attention while you’re away, then I’m your gal! I’ve grown up with small and large dog breeds my whole life and love all animals. I can safely provide medication administration and have experience with senior pets. I have a 10 yr old beagle/basset hound named Penny. She loves the Trinity Trails for exercise and sniffing around. I’m very mindful when approaching other dogs and always ask the owner if it’s okay to engage or let them know to give us space. And I’d provide that same care for your dog when walking them in your neighborhood. I also always carry a flexible water bowl and poop bags to stay prepared. I look forward to taking care of your pet(s). Please message me with any questions you may have. I keep my calendar updated monthly. I’m located about 10 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and in some cases, will travel 20 minutes out. I work full-time in aviation and usually have 4 days off a week. On my off days, I’m available the entire day for drop-in visits and walking services. If I have weeks notice, I can usually alter my schedule. ** I currently don’t provide boarding in my home or at others.** As an owner of a dog with separation anxiety, it’s really important to me that your dog feels safe and protected. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure we play some enrichment games, have treats that your provide, give them extra cuddles, take them for a short walk or play time in the backyard, and ensure they get their potty break and a full water bowl before leaving. For walking services, I always bring my own poop bags, and a collapsible bowl with fresh water to ensure your pet is refreshed and comfortable. Depending on your pets size, I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet over the phone or in-person to ensure I can handle their size, especially if they’re a strong puller.
About: I've been a dog owner for more than 10 years. Through these years, I've loved learning about dog behavior and how I can be a better life coach to my dogs. Right now I have a very anxious 12 lb poodle mix who I enjoy taking out. I try to find ways to help with his anxiety and get him out of his shell. Feel free to contact me for a complimentary 15min meet and greet to see where our goals align. One of my top priorities is to take care of my own dog. We go on walks first thing in the morning. But overall, most of my time is spent working from home; therefore, I am available at your convenience For safety reasons, I won't be introducing my client's pets to other animals. Dog care will depend on the dog and how welcoming they are of a stranger into their home. Unless a dog is comfortable with me. I will most likely keep my distance, respect their space, and provide structure. I also do like to stay in communication with my clients with videos and photos
“We couldn’t be happier with Diane and the care she provided our 2 cats. She arrived promptly and on time for each visit, kept us updated on how the cats were doing, and even spent more time with them than she had to. We were able to enjoy our vacation thanks to her. Highly recommended!”
“Wendy was very attentive and loving with our indoor kitty and outdoor kitty. She communicated with us when she was going to be late one day and asked if that was okay. Our kitties took a liking to her and they are very discerning - so it’s clear she is a true cat lover!”
“Jaime did a great job with our dog and cat, especially our dog who is very scared of strangers. Jaime clearly has lots of experience with dogs and knew just what to do to make Georgia feel comfortable. We'd definitely book him again for future trips.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks
Adelaide was fantastic! My dog is normally nervous around new people but she warmed up to Adelaide right away. Adelaide was very responsive, made sure to keep us updated throughout the duration of our trip, and always uploaded photos from her visits with our pup. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Heather was great with my dog! I had her do two quick check ins and potty breaks while I was gone overnight. She arrived right on time and stayed throughout the entirety of the scheduled time. Would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again in the future. :)
First time visit at sitter Sarah’s home, along with several other dogs around; wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere; very pet-friendly; GREAT grassy backyard; my dog Nikita felt super comfortable there, with Sarah and with the other dogs; excited to have Nikita experience future DayCare and Boarding in Sarah’s care.
Ali and Priscilla were amazing with our pups! This is the second time we have booked with them and we will continue to use their services in the future. We added a new addition to our family since the first time they watched our pups and they handled it with such ease. They kept us updated and sent lots of pictures which I love!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in River Oaks choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in River Oaks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
