About: I’ve taken care of others peoples animals for about 5 years and my own for 10. I love dogs and especially cats, but I am willing to take care of any! I understand senior dogs need for gentle care and some animals are more afraid of new people! Please reach out! I work part time at a local restaurant, my hours are normally Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 4-10pm. I also go to college Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-12pm, other than that I am free to come say hi to your pets! I am able to come let your dogs outside for a potty or take them on a walk around the neighborhood! I can feed them and refresh their water. I’m sure they love treats and can give them some as well!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough to handle responsibilities. I grew up on 10 acres and have provided love and care for dogs, cats, birds(pigeons, chickens, parakeets), and horses. I have volunteered at animal shelters since high school and have pet sat for both families and friends. I love all animals and am excited to meet all the fur babies! I’m a stay at home mom who is looking for a fun and furry way to spend time. I would be around most of the time to ensure your fur baby has what they need. I have my own fur baby as well, an indoor kitty named Jasmine. I have a large fence in yard and a large dog crate for when I do need to step out which will be kept in the air conditioning. They will get daily walks, weather permitting, and as much outdoor time as they wish. If there is anything particular your fur baby enjoys, let me know and I will provide it if it is in my capabilities.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life, and plan on getting some of my own once I complete nursing school! I am a nursing student at Mary Hardin-Baylor so anytime I can come and check in on your pets, give them some love and attention, would make me happy! I currently only work part time along with my school schedule and study a lot, so need to take breaks. It would be great to take some of the breaks to love on your animals the same way you would while you are out of town. I have a labrador retriever, but also I’ll take care of lots of family, friends, dogs of all different breeds. I used to own a German Shepherd, English bulldog, Belgian melon wall, great Pyrenees, and more!
“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
“Isabella was an amazing dog sitter and took such great care of our pups. From the moment we booked her, she was communicative, dependable, and genuinely caring. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She also accommodated my mistake while booking and had no problem making the date adjustments. Our dogs absolutely loved her! You can tell she has a natural way with animals and treats them like her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pups and a spotless home. I highly recommend Isabella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and truly exceptional sitter on Rover. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure they have everything they need before I leave. I’m happy to provide photos and updates throughout each visit.

“Stacy was not only a great drop-in sitter, taking care of Chuck while I was away, she was incredibly patient and understanding while I went through an emergency that forced me to make several scheduling changes.

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!

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.

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 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.
