“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was a baby. I’ve had guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am an animal lover through and through. I have a pretty open schedule so I will always be able to make the time. If not then I will make sure to have that conversation with whoever I’m caring for. Whatever you ask I will do. I know all families situations are different. If they need to be crated I will. If they need to be let out I will. Just tell me what you need.
About: I was the friend who watched my friend’s dogs and cats growing up while they were away. I have experience with little dogs like Yorkies, all the way up to the Great Pyrenees! I am currently and student with multiple online classes, and should be able to provide your little guy or gal with any attention they need throughout the day! I ensure that every pets needs are taken care of, first being the basic needs like food, water and exercise, and then the fun stuff! Every pet has individual idiosyncrasies and needs and I’ll always strive to meet them!
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.
“Very accommodating and took amazing care of my cat. For a cat with separation anxiety and will pee on things when left alone too long as well as scream at you when you come back home, she was pretty calm and very happy upon my arrival. Thank you so much Isabel!”
About: I’m great with pets! I’ve had dogs all my life, been around cats and other animals. I enjoy taking them for walks, runs, and I love making them happy by giving them positive attention! I only do pet sitting part time, however I make sure that I have time for a booking by making room in my schedule if needed. I care for pets by ensuring that they are fed, and taken on the appropriate walk according to the instructions. I will also play with the dogs, and give them plenty of exercise. Sometimes I may even take them out to a dog park if the dog is good with other dogs and people.
“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 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 been around all types of animals since the age of 4. I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family to bathe, feed, administer medications, walk and play with their dogs and cats. I am responsible and understand that your pet is a member of your family, not just an accessory. I will love and respect your pet as well as your home. I am an artist and enjoy keeping my schedule flexible. I am awake by 6am most days and in bed by 10. I can fit the right family in on either a consistent or one-time basis. Currently, I am not able to keep pets in my home but I am happy to visit your home or house sit if you prefer.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and cats the past seven years. I have experience with all ages of both cats and dogs. This ranges from training my German Shepherd since he was a puppy to be well behaved and protective. I’ve also cared for a senior epileptic dog who required constant monitoring and specialized care. Whether your pet is high energy, senior, or needs a little extra attention, I’m comfortable providing reliable care tailored to them. I am an accountant working remotely, with lots of flexibility in my schedule. I am free in the evenings every day and all day on the weekends. I have four animals of my own, two dogs (German Shepherd & Dalmatian) and two cats that are my entire world. I spend all my free time with my dogs taking them to the park or on trails near by. I have always been an animal lover and treat each pet I come across as if they were my own.

I’m available Monday-Thursday before 11 am and after 1 pm. Friday-Sunday before 3 pm. If you have a list of specificities, great! Just let me know. I will provide every pet with care due to their needs and boundaries.
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.

My love for cats and dogs go beyond their cuteness, and into their hearts and personalities! I am currently taking college classes so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups or kitties! I have a light class schedule, so I can fit your pet into any time of my day. I am trust worthy and safety oriented when it comes to taking care of your pet in the comfort of your home. I love discussing boundaries and needs of your pet before hand and understand the importance of a trusting care taker.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have 9 years of hands on pet care experience. I also rescued dogs in Mexico, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to care for dogs with different backgrounds and needs. My goal is to become a wildlife worker in the future because caring for animals has always been my passion. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or lots of love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate walks, drop in visits. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and care, and I’ll always communicate with you through updates and photos while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Having rescued dogs in Mexico and grown up around dogs my whole life, I’m experienced with pets of different personalities and needs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would give my own pets, while keeping you updated with messages and photos.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them
About: We are Chris & Christy and we just recently moved to Texas! Chris has owned a couple of Labradors growing up and Christy grew up with a Pug. Currently, Chris works from home while Christy is unemployed. We have both been dog sitting for over 15 years and we are still excited every time we get to meet a new friend 🙂 Our dogs Milo and Riley have also gotten along with every dog they’ve encountered. A meet & greet is always preferred before booking. When your pet is under our care, we promise to keep them safe and protected at all times 🦮🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛ While we occasionally have dogs staying with us during the day, we don’t like to exceed 4 dogs in our household at a time (including our 2 dogs). We are typically up around 6am to walk or let the dogs out in the fenced backyard. We are new to Texas, so we have not been going out during the day to avoid the heat. Food stays in a closed pantry/closed door and anything that can be ingested will not be accessible. Your pet’s safety and health is the priority. It’s also important to us that they are comfortable being around our dogs. If not, they are both crate trained and can be separated into different rooms.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Shady Shores is $20

Emma is clearly developing positive relationships with the multitude of pets I have under her care. I appreciate her detailed communication and the many photos of both the animals and other things of interest that are occurring at our place while we are away. Highly recommend.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shady Shores stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
