“Casandra is great with our cats, giving lots of updates and feedback on how they're doing during her checkins and even going above what we've asked her to do ☺️”
“Anna was a great sitter! During her drop in visits she took lots of pictures and cleaned up our pup when he got into some dirt. She was responsive and easy to work with.”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of Zeke, my Senior Jack Russell Terrior. He can be aggressive with new people but Kaitlyn connected with him. She made sure he had food and was let outside to potty. When he was alone, he made a couple of potty mistakes that she cleaned up on her visits. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will user her again for future visits!”
“Ashley was amazing watching Rocco for me over Thanksgiving while I was out of town. She sent several photos, took him on walks, and updated me on each check-in. Will definitely use Ashley again!”

About: I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like a member of my own family. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistent training and socialization, as well as senior pets who require extra patience, medication management, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, daily exercise, and reinforcing basic training commands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners through regular updates, clear communication, and dependable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my part-time work schedule. I have flexible availability and can provide dependable care during mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I make sure to dedicate quality time to each pet for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any special care they may need. Because I work part-time, I can maintain a balanced schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and responsive, ensuring your pet’s routine remains consistent and stress-free while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I ensure pets always have access to fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special preferences. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping pets securely leashed and supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Karina, was very responsive and helpful. She did a wonderful job with Xander and Westly with short notice. We really appreciate her help and look forward to booking again sometime.”
“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”
“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’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Over the years, I’ve had a poodle, dachshund, Lab/Pit mix, Chihuahua, cat, hamster, and guinea pig, so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also dog sat many times over the years and genuinely love getting to know each pet and their unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of attention, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. They really are a (wo)man’s best friend! 🐾 I recently moved to the Dallas area and am currently searching for a full-time job, which means my schedule is very flexible right now! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away. I’d love to fill some of my extra time with furry friends while I’m on the job hunt! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow whatever makes your furry friend feel most at home! In your home, I’ll stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other instructions you leave. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away — plus lots of updates and pictures so you know they’re happy and well cared for!
About: Hi! I'm a patient, reliable animal lover who understands that every pet has unique needs. Caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me the importance of staying calm, building trust, and paying close attention to a pet's comfort and behavior. I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. Recently, I recently began as an opener at my job and leave around 3 pm with a day or two off during the weekday. With this schedule I’m confident we can work out a schedule for me to look after your furry babies! I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. In a client's home, I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My experience caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me to respect each dog's individual needs, body language, and boundaries.
“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!”
“Shiru has watched my cat (who is very shy, and a little spicy) several times now and has been excellent every time! This past time, a leak appeared in my home and maintenance had to drop by unexpectedly while I was out of town. Shiru was so helpful in coming over to make sure my cat was safe and separated from the maintenance crew who were cutting open my walls. Thank you Shiru!!”

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 Shady Shores 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.

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.
