“I had a wonderful experience having Riley watch my 2 dogs and cat. She really went above and beyond making sure they were comfortable and had plenty of playtime. Communication was also great and she took lots of awesome pictures of them having fun. Would absolutely book with Riley again!”
“Lyndsey had her first meeting with Esperanza and Akoni today. She kept me well informed with how it was going and sent pictures of their time together. Overall it seems the girls made a new friend and looking forward to their next visit.”
“Lucilla was great! This was my first time using Rover and it did not disappoint. I had set up 30min drop-in visits and Lucilla was wonderful at sending updates and photos whenever she came to check in on Sampson. I would definitely suggested reaching out to her to take care of your furry family members.”
“Sharon has done so amazing with my Cleo, who isn’t very trustworthy of strangers. She easily won over her trust & updated with photos at each drop-in, and made sure she knew everything she needed to know to care for my fur baby. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

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.

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!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
