I am available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any request! No job is too big or small! I have my 2 cats and 2 dogs in my home, both younger and older in age. They all have great personalities to ensure your fur babies have a buddy to make them feel welcomed and comfortable.

About: Dear Pet Owner, I am a dedicated animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals of all shapes, sizes, and needs. Having grown up on a farm, I developed a deep passion and expertise in animal care from an early age, working with horses, dogs, and many other animals. My experience includes everything from daily feeding, walking, and training to professional pet sitting. I offer flexible scheduling and am committed to providing your pets with the highest level of care, attention, and affection. I would be honored to have the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you're away. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Deana Nelson I have a flexible part-time schedule that allows me to be available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give your pet the dedicated attention and care they deserve. I always follow your specific instructions and your pet’s established routine to minimize stress and maintain consistency. This includes feeding according to your schedule and dietary requirements, administering medications or supplements (I’m experienced with oral meds, injections, and special-needs care), daily walks, playtime, and exercise suited to your pet’s energy level and abilities, and litter box or potty break management. I will take care of your fur baby with the same care and attention that I do with my own.
About: I love dogs and have been taking care of them for 20 years. I work from home so I can help often. I will treat your fur baby like I did my own. I work remotely so I am available often to take care of dogs. I also welcome the reminder from them to get up from my desk and go for walks, etc. I have a fenced yard and can let your dog out easily. I also have a dog park near my home I can take them to if you’d like. At your home, I’ll be happy to take your dog out however is needed while ensuring safety and cleanliness.
About: I care for pets of all ages, including seniors and special needs. I’m experienced with medication, basic training, and always tailor care to each pet’s needs. Caring for pets is a joyful part of my day. I love spending time walking, playing, and making sure each pet feels safe and happy whenever I’m with them. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether at my home or yours. I follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and rest—while ensuring a safe and loving environment.

About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
“Thank you, Jennifer you are awesome thank you for loving on my girls just the way I was thank you for not complaining about the distance. I can’t wait to go on another trip so you can look after the girls and the boys if you’re available thank you.”
“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure their kitty litter box was clean each day. She made sure they got fresh water and food each day. She took the time to reassure my cats and to play with them as they became more comfortable. I loved the pictures and texts she provided each day. This was my first time to use a cat sitter and I loved her¹ I absolutely plan on using her again to care of my cats the next time I go on a trip!?”
“Alice was great with Mae! It isn’t always easy letting people in your house when your away but she followed instructions, sent plenty of updates and pictures and even came over to meet us face to face!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets when I used to live in Hawaii since I was 15. And would often give them baths, walk them, and feed them. I’m currently part time which means I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets as well as take them on walks or to the park. I’ll often take them on a walk in the morning. I’ll feed them breakfast if that’s in their routine. Play with them in my apartment and then take them out again in the afternoon. I’ll then feed them dinner around 6-7 and then take them out once more.
About: I would love to care for your dog or cat! I provide sittings, drop-in visits, and walks. I’m based in Murphy but willing to travel anywhere in the DFW area. My availability is very open and flexible. I will spend many hours with your pet and provide regular updates. I’m more than willing to watch your pets during vacations! I offer dog sittings and willing to stay overnight (if needed). Your dog will not be left alone for more than 3 hours. I provide regular updates and follow instructions.

About: With experience handling both senior and energetic pups, I offer tailored care for all ages. Trustworthy, attentive, and loving—your pets are in good paws!

In your home, I will meticulously follow all instructions provided, ensuring your pets receive optimal care, while also showering them with cuddles and playful fun!
About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Royse City
Super great experience and incredibly responsive\! I have a puppy and an older dog, and Heather was amazing with both of them, making sure each got the attention and care they needed\. As a single dad with two dogs and a job that requires me to travel, finding someone I genuinely trust with them is a huge deal\. Heather made the entire process easy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away\. I’ll absolutely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her enough\!
We had a great experience with Kelly. She was very kind, punctual, and our two pups were immediately comfortable with her. She sent detailed updates during each drop-in visit, which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely rebook her in the future! Thank you Kelly!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Royse City is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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 Royse City 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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
