“We've been using Rover for years, and our experience with Bernice was unmatched! She cared for our two pups for eight days and went above and beyond--excellent communication, frequent photo updates, and genuine kindness and affection. Our pups clearly adored her. Without question, she's the best sitter we've ever had. Highly recommended!”
“My two dogs just love Isabella. I appreciate that she takes good care of them while I am away for the day. She gives me updates and pictures each time she comes. I highly recommend her.”
“Jormary is wonderful! As a repeat client, I continue to trust her with Max and Ruby. She is reliable, communicative, and always provides excellent care during her drop-in visits. I’m grateful for attentiveness and kindness towards Max and Ruby, highly recommend her services. 🐾😊”
“This is the second time we have used Maricella. Good communication. Great care for our cats and fish. Can tell she really cares about them. Sends a lot of pictures. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“She was an absolute gem while watching my cats during my recent trip. From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding she sent the sweetest little prompts and cute photo updates that made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. Seeing my kitty happily playing, lounging in her favorite spots, and clearly well cared for in those pictures was such a relief and honestly made my vacation even better. She did a fantastic job my cat was happy, healthy, and well fed when I returned. Even though I completely forgot to tell her where the extra kitty litter was stored (total brain fart on my part!), she handled everything with such grace and resourcefulness. That level of sweetness and professionalism really stood out to me. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive, and genuinely awesome cat sitter, look no further. Adaline is the real deal I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: Hi there! I'm Melayna, and I'd love to help out with petsitting and walking. I just moved here with my furry friend and would love to meet yours! I love animals and have had many of my own so I have experience caring for pets. I also love being outside so I can take them on walks and play with them! I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule. My schedule allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routines. I understand how important consistency can be for pets so l am happy to adjust to your pet's needs and schedule to keep them comfortable while you are away! I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. I do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable— whether that's feeding, walks, playtime, or medications. I'm attentive to details, respectful of your home, and always make sure your pet gets lots of love and attention while you're away. I also believe communication is important. I make sure to send plenty of photos and reach out if I need any clarification about your furry friend's care! I am also happy to meet clients and their furry friends before booking to find out if we’re a match!

About: Over 33 years experience caring for animals. Technician, hospital and boarding experience. Very knowledgeable about giving injections, medications etc. It's very important to me that each clients needs are met. If lounging on the couch or bed is okay with mom and dad I love it. If mom and dad's rules say no furniture, I will follow any guidelines. My passion in life is animal care and treating each one of these amazing fur babies like they are part of my family. I also have extensive knowledge about breeds and the traits they have. They are individuals just like we are and each have different needs. Forming a trusting bond is very important to me. It's an honor to be entrusted with their care. :)
“Josh has made going out of town easier and less stressful with his reliable care for our 4 furbabies (2 dogs and 2 cats). Thankful we have a go-to person who can handle their varying personalities and routines. We enjoy reading the Rover cards and we know our pets enjoy their visits with Josh, too!”
About: I'm a kind, active sitter who loves giving dogs a comfortable, home-like stay. As a runner, I can keep high-energy pups exercised and happy, while also providing a calm environment for more relaxed dogs. I have two extraordinary dogs—Kash money, my 4-year-old corgi, and Kiba, my 9-year-old Australian cattle dog—they helped me find my love for animals. I intend to make sure every dog feels cared for, comfortable, and right at home. My routine is built around my dogs, so pet care comes naturally. From morning walks to daily runs and evening wind-down time, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest. I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment in my home, with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I adjust care based on each dog’s energy level and needs. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.
About: Hi! I'm a 28 y/o dog mom new to the area! I have a sweet little 10lb cavapoo who I am obsessed with and who adores other dogs! I'm home all day (Army wife life) so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, whether it's playing with them or taking them on walks around the neighborhood. I'd love to explore the area with your pet, or just give them the snuggles they’re used to while you’re away. My dog is a rescue who I raised from puppyhood—so I don’t mind accidents, teething, training, etc. I’m vigilant about safety with dogs, especially around cars and roads, so you can rest assured knowing I won’t let anything happen to your pup. I also grew up with two very energetic dogs in my home and I know how important pets are to each family. I'm happy to get to know your pet and any quirks they might have--places to avoid, special care they require, anything at all! Little more about me: I’m from the Midwest and have my Bachelor’s from U of M! I spent the last few years in the Washington, DC area with my husband as he went through medical school & residency. We’re an Army family but still hold our Midwest roots dearly :) I work part-time remotely, so I’m home and available all day and in the evenings. I’m happy to stop by to play with your pup and take a break from work, or go on my evening hot-girl walk with your dog by my side! I will treat your pet like my own when they’re in my home! We love to play, wrestle, and snuggle on the couch! My dog has free rein so she lounges on the couch, her beds, our bed, etc. Your dog is welcome to do the same! We can assess how the dogs get along and decide how to leave them if I have to step outside—we also have baby gates where I can separate the dogs if that’s best. I do not have any children so there aren’t little toys for your dog to get into, and I’ll keep all food and shoes put away. I like to think my apartment is quiet and cozy, so I’ll be sure to provide a calm environment for your pet! I am able to go to your home and meet your pet in their familiar space. I am open to all notes and tidbits about your home, your neighborhood, etc so that your pet has the best experience with me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salado
Paige was great, very communicative and seemed to connect really well with our dogs! We had a lot of anxiety because one of our girls doesn’t like to be alone and hadn’t been without us before but she was very comfortable with Paige and seemed to take a lot of comfort from her drop-ins!

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 July 2026, there are 1,831 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Salado. 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 Salado 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
