“The best dog sitter! I’ve never seen my dog so happy when I got back. You could tell she really took good care of her. Threw in some walks. Open to flexibility and great communication, daily updates. Penny loves Ruby”

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs since childhood and am currently the proud owner of a lovable Lab mix. I’m responsible, caring, and passionate about providing the highest quality care for every pet. I treat each dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available during mornings and evenings on average two weekdays per week, and I have more flexible availability throughout the day on weekends. This allows me to provide quality drop-ins and walks with plenty of attention and care for each pet. I provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Care includes feeding and refreshing water, administering medications as needed, engaging playtime and cuddles, and attentive, engaging walks tailored to each pet’s needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, routine, and personalized care for every pet.
“Madison was perfect to watch my Gracie girl! She was excellent with communication and pictures. Would love to have Madison every time we need a sitter!”


About: I have experience with both dogs and cats that spans over 10 years! Currently I have two cats of my own, one of which has special needs. Also a little senior hedgehog! I have experience with dogs/cats of all sizes and endless patience for animals who may need special care. I believe strongly that all animals are precious and deserve the best care possible. I am a massage therapist that works Wednesday-Friday 9am-2pm and Saturday 9am-6pm. Sunday-Tuesday my schedule is open! I will always prioritize the animals needs first. I am committed to safely caring for any animal whether that be my own or others. Making sure doors are securely shut, walking into the home calmly and ensuring no animals bolt through the door.
“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.”

“We have had Ana come and watch our boy a couple of times and as usual she is fabulous. She has great communication and cares for our pup as if he was her own. I don’t worry when she is taking care of him because she provides well written reports and tons of pictures and videos, it really helps our kids miss him less. Thank you Ana for taking such great care of Francis! We will definitely be booking again.”

About: I loved dogs since I was little always feeding the stray dogs no matter what. The care of animals always comes first for me. Seeing any kind of animal get hurt breaks my heart. I try my best to show them love even if I can't keep them with me. I have a husky of my own, I always give him is morning and nightly walks along even if I have school I always make time for him! During my school hours (I am in college) my schedule will change but I'll try not to. I can do Tuesday and Thursday. My classes start at 11am-3:10pm if you are willing to work with that I am happily to be able to work with you as well 😊 I would show the animal love and care! I always praise them for being so well behaved, if they are shy it will take time, I'll start small keep my distance so I wont stress them. Trust takes time and it always comes with an amazing bond 💖
“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”

“Dalya is an amazing sitter - she ensures I know that things are going well and actually goes out of her way to help with little things while I am away from my pup. I am very thankful to have found her through Rover and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!”


“Wendy is the best pet sitter EVER! She takes care of your animals like they are her own and she is so kind, genuine, and committed to making sure your pet is comfortable and happy the entire time she’s there. If I could recommend anyone it would be her! She is amazing!!🫶🏼👏”

About: With years of hands-on experience, I've volunteered at animal shelters where I gained valuable insight into caring for a variety of dogs. Growing up with both big and small breeds, I've learned how to adapt to each dog's unique needs and personality. Additionally, I regularly take care of my roommate's dog when she's away, further honing my skills in providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available on weekends to offer the best care for your dog. Whether it's dog sitting, walking, or just spending quality time with your furry friend, weekends work perfectly for me to ensure they get the attention they deserve while you're busy. Let me know how I can help! I take great pride in providing a comfortable and safe environment for pets, both in my home and in my clients' homes. When caring for pets in my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. In your home, I make sure to respect your pet's familiar surroundings while providing the same level of care. I stick to their routine, offer companionship, and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, always ensuring they’re happy and well-cared for.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!
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.

About: Experienced dog sitting all size dogs! Pitbulls, waimeraners, labs, wiener dogs etc. I love to go on walks and runs if possible! This past summer I consistently watched 4 dogs (from the same family) and had a great time! I frequently volunteer at the animal shelter but don’t have any pets of my own just yet! New to Fort Worth and looking forward to meeting you and your dog:) As of right now I am helping out at my boyfriends business but working from home- meaning I am available all day to take care of your pet whether at my home or coming to you. I live in a dog friendly apartment building along the trinity trails! These trails are perfect for dog walking and provide ample shade. The dog is welcome in all rooms of our place. At a clients home, I make sure to go over any guidelines with the owner to establish the rules and routines of their space- I only aim to help out never to impose!

About: Hi! I’m Avery, a reliable and attentive dog walker who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always send photo updates and keep you informed during every walk. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long, energetic walk, I’m happy to help! I’m punctual, communicative, and treat every dog like my own. I’m also comfortable with multiple dogs, high-energy breeds, and following specific routines. My schedule is pretty flexible! I work from home mostly and so I can be available in the early afternoon while you are at work! I will make sure your dog is always comfortable and that your dog is getting enough time to play and have plenty of potty breaks.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a River Oaks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
