“Develyn was amazing!! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond. She communicated with me throughout her stay and sent pictures of my babies to give me updates. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Tisha is SO wonderful and we were so lucky to have found her. She treated my pup so well and took so much time with her. We got a ton of pictures which was awesome too!”
About: I have experience in working at a doggy daycare taking care of pets that need boarding, as well as pets that just needed play time! Along with that I have been dog and house sitting for family friends for many years, and I have 3 dogs of my own that I helped train and continue to take care of! I’m currently a college student with a pretty light schedule so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! When I am looking after a pet I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable with me right off the bat without pressuring them because I know many animals are cautious with new friends!
“This was our second time having Megan stay in our home with our two dogs. She was very patient with our shy girl and had her begging for pets and cuddling up after a couple of days. She kept us up to date with lots of messages and pictures, and the house was left tidy. 100% will book with Megan again!”
“It’s our second time using Bailey and we have felt very comfortable knowing she is caring for our furbabies. Great communication and they like her company. Will definitely rebook in the future :)”

I can handle an older pet or a young one. I have a very open schedule and with proper notice I can be available but I am also available for unexpected/last minute visits.

About: I have experience with pets of all ages—from high-energy puppies who need structure and patience, to senior pets who require extra love, medication, and slow, gentle care. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical meds, handling special diets, and following detailed care routines. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine—whether it’s early morning feedings, afternoon walks, evening cuddles, or keeping detailed checklists for pets with special needs. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care, not the other way around. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine. Basically: I’m the sitter who cares about the little stuff and the big stuff—and your pets can tell the difference. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their space and their routine. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and walking routes. I keep everything tidy, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar environment. My goal is always to make your absence as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet.
About: I have an extensive background in animal care. I currently own and trained my own dog. I’ve had her for two years already. Prior to her I was apart of FFA for my four years of highschool, raising various different livestock animals for stock show. My sister is also a vet tech and has taught me a lot of well needed knowledge when it comes to caring for pets. I believe they are not just a pet but a life long commitment and we only get to give them the best experience while they are with us. I believe any and all animals deserve the best care possible and each are unique in their own way :). In terms of my regular work schedule, I have a rotation of 5 days on and 5 days off. During the 5 days I am off work I am available for any of your pets needs, ranging from house sitting to basic walks and more. I’m sure with proper communication we can work out whatever schedule needed to match you and your pets needs :). My dog is crate trained but spends most of her time outside her crate since she is house trained as well as potty trained. She has well established boundaries which I believe is important as a dog owner. She is fed 3 times a day with 1 1/2 cups each feed. She is also up to date on all her vaccinations and is completely socialized. We also groom her 1-2 times a month. When I am working we schedule regular walking visits so her activities are regulated and she stays active :).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Robstown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Robstown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Robstown 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
