“Alison was fantastic. We have two very anxious cats and even they seemed to warm up to her! She even handled the bossing around from our non-anxious boy. Our babies were very well cared for and her updates are so cute and funny! Will definitely use again for our large fur family!”
“This was my first time to use Rover. I chose Megan because she had great reviews, this will be another good one. She was taking care of my three cats while I was gone for a week. She was very professional, showed up when she said and took very good care of my animals.”
About: I come from a major animal loving family & have been surrounded by many different types of animals as far back as I can remember! I'm surprised it took me so long to make it into a profession, but I've been caring for other peoples' pets & homes for about 10 years now. My schedule is currently very flexible & I am often open to travel a ways from home for longer sits. I have my own cat, Frank, who is fairly aloof & quite understanding when I come home smelling like other animals. 😹 My current home is not suitable for having extra pets in it, so getting to sit in YOUR home is great for all parties involved - I get my cute animal fix, you get peace of mind that your pets & home are safe & well looked after, & your pets don't have too much disruption to their daily routine so they're less stressed while you're away!
About: Due to my bubbly personality, I believe I can show your pets lots of love to avoid that separation anxiety from y’all being gone. I give my 100 in everything I do no matter what I do. I’m also very flexible with understanding how life events may pop up so cancelations don’t bother me. I believe showing love and compassion is the key to helping people feel accepted and understood, same thing with animals. I don’t think anyone should feel alone so I’m always that girl seeking to help someone in need. If you like my services, I won’t mind keeping in touch for future pet-sitting. Also, friendships are always welcomed in my life. I love meeting new faces and enjoying new company. If you have questions, please don’t hesistate to ask. I want to provide the best care for your pet, your home, and you. Leaving your animal behind is very stressful and can be sad. The last thing you want is to worry about is your pet while you’re away. I want to add, I can do doggie day care within your home. My living situation isn’t the most ideal to keep dogs at my home. I am medically retired from the Air Force. I do not work so I have all the time in the world. :) I just moved to Livingston, Texas! I haven’t worked with Rover since 2021-2022 when I lived in Florida but I decided I needed some form of a schedule so here I am. If your dog likes running I have a leash that I can take them running. If they like chasing a ball, I can bring my ball thrower and make sure they get lots of exercise. I can accommodate to anything! Communication is the key to make a great experience :)
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs. I’m not ready to get another dog yet so I know that I would be a good fit for yours. I am retired. Walking your dog would be a blessing to me as well as give you peace of mind. I will take care of yours the same as I would do for mine. I have a fenced in yard. I have no pets. I love being outside and am very active. It would be a honor to be your dog walker.
About: I have five dogs of my own, from a 14-year old senior with daily med needs down to a 4-year old energetic husky. I am a lover of all cats and dogs and have always practiced being nurturing towards all kinds of our Texas critters. I’m a very transparent, honest and communicative person and look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working part-time and can fit weekly needs very flexibly! Feel free to reach out to coordinate routine times for your pets! I am open to accommodating all pets’ needs such as medication, being crated, being fed specific food etc. I will take them out or walk them as requested and needed. Safety will always remain my first priority for all.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, playtime, walks, feeding, or extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving and reliable care. ❤️🐶 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and now that my child has started pre-K, I have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for daytime drop-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and boarding. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I’m also able to keep pets separated when needed and can crate your dog if requested. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care instructions carefully, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. 🐾❤️
“Melanie is our go to gal for watching our fur babies! Not only is she professional, thorough, and sweet - she is also personable. Even though Rover notifies you when your sitter has arrived, Melanie sends her own personal message informing you she’s on-site. She also sends pictures/videos of your pets along with verbal updates. She likes to do a meet and greet before your actually booking which is nice. This is when you give her your notes/request/suggestions and overall routine of your pets. She immediately won over my pets and embraced their chaos - She is also armed and loaded with bite sized treats. Melanie is trustworthy and truly loves animals. Do yourself a favor and use her - we’re already booking her again!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
About: I’ve spent the past 5 years caring for pets and house sitting, offering attentive and dependable support while owners are away. As a massage therapist, I bring patience and a soothing presence, which animals respond well to. I’ve also looked after pets needing a little extra care, making sure they feel safe and at ease. You can trust that your home and companions will be well cared for. With my mobile massage business, I have the privilege to set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to reliably care for your pets and home. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own, paying attention to the small details that matter. Your pets remain in the comfort of their familiar environment, where they feel safest, and I make sure their routines are kept consistent so they stay happy and secure.

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.
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.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
