About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently don’t work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. They can have my full attention, I can make frequent visits, or just drop by every once in a while, whatever works best! Saturdays I am not available for walks, but I am happy to sit through the weekend if needed! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!
“Did an amazing job and very responsive. Was able to come in clutch for a last minute booking after I had to go out of the country. Communication was great and my pup had so much fun with her. Felt very comfortable leaving my Suki in her care and will continue to book with her in the future!”


“Marisol was great with my boy, and was able to work with me on last minute bookings. Her daily updates and pictures gave me peace of mind that he was safe and well cared for while I was gone!”

“Arrived exactly when requested, did everything I asked her to. Communicated well. She would be a good choice if you need drop in appointments. She provided 30 minute appointments twice daily for my older cat.”

“Heather is Amazing!!! She took great care of our Kitties. We love her communication and photos. She always does the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. I highly recommend her.”

This allows me to provide quality drop-ins and walks with plenty of attention and care for each pet.

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.

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.

About: Hi I’m Meghan! I’ve cared for friends and family’s dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I consider myself to be very responsible, organized, and attentive to details, and I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person caring for their dog and feel confident that their pet is receiving loving, attentive care. I love spending time with dogs, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. As a medical student, I maintain a structured schedule and am highly organized with my time. I am generally available during evenings (after 6pm), on weekends, and occasionally between classes when my schedule allows. I enjoy staying active, going on walks, and spending time outdoors, which makes dog walking a natural fit for my routine. I prioritize communication and reliability so dog owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving depending, loving care. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and reliable care in each client’s home. Before caring for a dog, I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, energy level, and any specific instructions so I can provide a consistent and enjoyable experience. I adapt quickly to each pet’s individual needs and understand that every dog is different. Whether I’m feeding them, refreshing their water, going for walks, playing their favorite games, giving them lots of love and affection, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to their well-being throughout each visit, ensuring they stay happy while following their routine as closely as possible. I am detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following instructions carefully, and I can problem solve quickly if any unexpected hiccups arise. I aim to create a positive, stress-free, and fun experience for both dogs and their owners through clear communication, patience, love, and attentive care!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve had the pleasure of pet sitting for family and friends. I would love to take you fur babies for walks and sit with them for cuddles! I love animals and will love yours too! I currently work a full-time job and my job can be flexible at times. I can do walks in the evenings on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in a small apartment with a cat, it is preferred that I don’t bring your animal back to my apartment to keep my cat safe and your animal safe and comfortable.
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 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: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“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!”

“The dogs were happy and healthy when I got home from my long trip and she even cleaned the floors from the muddy mess that occurred with the rain. Thanks so much.”

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!

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.
