About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience on Rover for both dogs and cats in Waco, I recently moved to Corpus Christi.. I currently have a small Yorkie of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. Aside from occasional college classes beginning soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a calm environment where they can feel secure. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will be treated like part of my own family.

Rayne was able to show my cat Luna lots of love while we were out of town. Luna is normally shy, but she actually felt safe enough during Rayne's drop in visit to come out of hiding and ask for pets. I highly recommend Rayne she has a way with kitty cats

About: I have more experience with dogs, but I’m comfortable caring for cats as well. I’ve worked around cats at a veterinary office and understand the importance of patience, safety, and making pets feel comfortable. I truly enjoy caring for animals and will treat your pets like my own. Pet care fits well into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I’m happy to help provide care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide and make sure your pets feel secure and cared for in their home environment. I understand that some pets can be shy or nervous, so I’ll always be patient and attentive to their needs.

About: I have been in love with animals since I was a baby. I grew up in a dog loving household. I have always had pets as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, turtles, mice, fish, hermit crabs. My goal is to one day have a goat and a pig as well. I worked in a pet store that wolf puppies for 3 years and my primary job there was to take care of the puppies and to teach the perspective new families to potty train their new babies and what to expect for their specific breeds. I have also helped my parents train all of their dogs and sit for them when on vacation. It’s a full house but I love it. I currently work but have time in the afternoons and weekends to walk or check on your fur babies and let them go outside and play or just stretch their legs out of the kennel, whatever the needs may be. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play and a very friendly playful golden doodle that loves new friends. He gets along with all sizes and ages of dogs. My families dogs range from 3 lb yorkie to 90 lb golden doodle and a few in between. My baby is in his bedroom (kennel) when we are not home, one of my parents dogs does not require a kennel when we are not there so I do not require it as long as they are potty trained and do not chew.

About: I graduated from Highland Canine to be a Master Dog Trainer. I can train working, service, tracking, and basics. I had one dog for 7 years and he has been the best boy, and I can hand over the leash to a 5 year old. I want to help others with their dogs. I want people enjoy their dogs and not be embarrassed by their behavior or scared of what could happen. I adopted one that had some behavioral issues and I proud he overcame a lot of it! I want that acc accomplished feeling for other dog owners I can come after work after 2:30pm during the work day weekends I can come anytime. I can always make arrangements to help accommodate the dog’s needs. I will treat your pets as if they are mine or a little bit better. I will respect your house rules if no dogs are allowed on the furniture. I do own my own vehicle so if I need to take them somewhere I do have a crate or a seat belt for them.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.

About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.

About: I don't mind keeping in touch with texts or phone calls at all.

I enjoy spending extra time with any animal and providing peace of mind. I can make sure your pet(s) is fed/watered, and even bathed if needed. I have no problem cleaning up after them as well. I would be available to take your pets to dog parks if you would like and would love to give them the attention they need.

I prefer to keep bookings earlier in the day but I am always willing to make exceptions. I am not currently house sitting or boarding however when I have I take pride in being respectful of yours and your pets home and space. It is no problem to keep things cleaner than i found them and make pet-care, comfort, and safety the top priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockport on Rover is $32.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rockport 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockport. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
