“Emma was great! She was flexible and understanding when I had to make some changes to my trip plans, took great care of my blind senior dog that requires meds and special attention, and she sent updates and pictures every visit. I know Dakota loved the company and having her take care of him while I was gone!”
“Hailey was very patient and understanding with my dogs. They are a tough bunch so when I had to go out of town and leave them for a few days, I was worried about not being able to find the right fit. Hailey really took a weight off my shoulders.”
“Vincent took amazing care of Bentley! I needed someone to stop by to let my puppy out and he had so much fun with Vincent! If you need someone to watch your dog Vincent is the perfect guy!”
About: I’ve been watching peoples dogs since I was 15. I love learning the best ways to care for them. I also love seeing their personalities grow as you get to know them. I’m willing to learn and do whatever is needed to keep your furry friends happy and healthy while you’re gone! I am currently on summer break as a student at TWU I am in their aviation program. I am also a part time volleyball coach. Come fall I will be a full time student again, but that is something that will be discussed before we agree to anything. I currently just hang out all day so spending time with a fur baby fits into my schedule perfectly. As I will be caring for your pet in your home I am able to do whatever is asked of me to keep them safe and happy. If there’s medication to be administered it’ll be best to go over that ahead of time as well as any special outdoor routines.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a little kid . I currently work on a farm and help take care of small and large livestock. I hope to someday in the future have my own animal rescue/rehabilitation center. I currently have open availability for your pet care needs ! I offer dog walking , in home cat and dog sitting , and overnight services as well! Well typically i have all my animals on a potty schedule and take them out every hour - two hours as well as when they ask . I’m very good with play time and making sure they all get their energy out appropriately as well as basic training .
About: I have 3 years of experience working in an animal shelter, where I was lucky enough to care for animals of all kinds. I am familiar with the necessary care needed for pets of all ages, from baby to senior. I am practiced in giving medication and basic grooming/ maintenance, as well as having worked with trainers in the past though I am not credentialed. Due to my history, I am also experienced working with animals with behavioural issues and am not intimidated by the size of a pet. I am currently between jobs and, therefore, am able to move around my schedule at will. I have a reliable form of transportation that allows me to be wherever you need me to be when you need me to be there. My apartment is not large enough, nor would the complex allow me to, house animals not already on my lease, but I am physically capable of taking dogs out multiple times per day on walks (duration depends on the heat). I play with my own animals multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes each, so rest assured your cats will also get the exercise they deserve. I will go above and beyond for your pets simply because I believe they deserve it.
About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends since 2014, most often as a sitting while the owners are out of town. I work 32 hours a week as a nanny and have a split schedule; this will allow me to visit your pets during breaks between work shifts in the morning, afternoon, and evenings. I am available to stay overnight as well. I love caring for my pet Rex. I love to give him treats, toys, take him on walks, etc. Anything to keep him feeling engaged and enriched. I am very mindful of his behavior and have learned what he needs based on how he acts. I will pay this much attention to detail with your pets!
“Francesca did a superb job, on time, responsive and everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. Highly recommend your dogs will love her as will you! Thank you so much!”
“Emily was extremely professional, attentive and went above and beyond to take care of my lab for several days when I was out of town. She was very flexible with her timings and took my lab on more walks without me even asking, she followed instructions to the dot and was great with providing medications, ear cleaning and full bath/grooming. Would definitely trust her to take care of my lab again.”

About: I’ma a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Since I was young, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help care for their pets. I’m patient, dependable, and love spending time making sure pets are happy, active, and well cared for while their owners are away. I grew up around pets and currently help care for a Great Pyrenese and three cats so I’m very comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I just moved back to Dallas after graduating from Texas Tech, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets while I am searching for a job!

About: I have loved and taken care of family dogs for as long as I can remember. I was a full time dog walker in NYC back in 2016 for about a year so I have experience with all sorts of dogs and I loved them all. I currently have a senior pup who sometimes requires medication so I have experience administering meds orally. I currently have open availability so I have all the time in the world for your babies. I have my own pets to take care of but that’s my only conflict currently. I care for clients pets as if they are my own. I respect any rules or instructions given by the client in caring for their pet.
About: Your dog’s new favorite walking buddy! 🐾 I bring lots of love, patience, belly rubs, and adventure to every walk. From energetic puppies to laid back seniors, I’m committed to keeping your pup safe, happy, and tail wagging every step of the way. Reliable, friendly, and always ready for walkies! Pet care fits well into my routine because I work as a caregiver and pick up shifts based on availability. This gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. At this time, I provide pet care in my clients’ homes rather than in my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care. I also respect my clients’ homes, keep them tidy, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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.
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 Shady Shores 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.

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

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.
