About: I have experience caring for animals through both my own pets and previous work involving animal care through pet sitting. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping an eye on pets while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and are cared for according to your instructions. I’m available for pet care visits frequently throughout the day. I can stay for a while during visits to feed and care for your pets, clean up after them, play with them, or simply spend time keeping them company. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else needed to keep your pet safe and secure.

About: ▪️I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family who make our lives infinitely brighter. When your dog is with me, they’ll be loved, pampered, and cared for as if they were my very own! ▪️I have extensive experience watching dogs for friends and family across all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need consistent routine to sweet senior dogs who require gentle care and extra patience. ▪️I’m comfortable handling dogs of all shapes and sizes—whether it's a tiny Chihuahua, a cheeky Scottish Terrier, a playful Boxer, or managing a pack of up to 5 large dogs at once! ▪️Feeding quirks, medication routines, or unique habits? Nothing is too strange— I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs to keep them comfortable and happy. ▪️Plus, with my super flexible schedule, I’m readily available for daily walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day play sessions whenever your busy calendar demands. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! ▪️Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life as an active remote worker. I start every morning with an early workout and love staying active throughout the day, which means your dog gets guaranteed, high-quality outdoor time before the summer heat sets in! ▪️Because I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible. Whether your dog needs a mid-day bathroom break, an afternoon walk to help me hit my step goal, or just a quiet companion by my desk while I work, I’m around to give them the continuous care and attention they need. ▪️When staying in or visiting your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s familiar routine so they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. ▪️I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, walk schedules, and bedtime routines down to the detail. Whether your pet loves high-energy fetch sessions, long neighborhood walks, or just snuggling on the couch, I give them my undivided attention. ▪️I double-check all doors, gates, and ensure all household hazards are out of reach, and keep emergency vet details on hand at all times. ▪️You’ll get detailed daily check-ins with clear photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. ▪️I treat your home with the utmost care and respect—keeping areas tidy, taking care of mail/plants if needed, and leaving your house just as clean as I found it.

About: My family has cared for animals since I was young. I interned during high school at a veterinary clinic and now I have a job at a household pets boarding facility. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I get the chance to allow the furry pet I am walking and myself to destress on a fun walk I keep an I out on all pets because of the experience I have with all of the animals I take care of trying to eat something off the floor I did not catch first and r when they try to nibble on furniture. I like to work mental stimulation on my dog when I notice they are getting angsty.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since for 8 years now. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also have two pugs of my own, so I understand routines, patience, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I have also helped my female pug give birth on my own and delivered 6 healthy puppies on my own! I always treat every pet like family. I’m a full-time college student and work part-time on weekends, giving me flexibility during the week. My schedule can be flexible, and earlier arrangements can be made if needed. I provide a safe, calm, and closely supervised environment and always follow each pet’s routine and instructions. My two pugs are very friendly with other dogs and have been crate trained since they were puppies. I introduce pets slowly, supervise all interactions, and can crate or separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.

About: Hi! My name is Katia, I am new to the rover app:)caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for almost a decade. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 18, and now at 27, I have years of experience understanding the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every dog unique. I’m also a proud dog mom to Apollo, my German Shepherd who has been by my side since high school, and Sierra, my sweet mixed breed rescue. Rescuing Sierra has made me especially passionate about giving dogs a safe, patient, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care currently fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to dedicate a significant amount of time and attention to caring for my clients’ pets. This allows me to be flexible with drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and different schedules depending on each pet’s needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, especially when they are in their own home. Since my dogs do not do well around unfamiliar animals, I will provide care exclusively in my client’s home, which also allows your pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe.

About: I have years of experience with in-home as well as drop-in pet sitting. I am reliable and dependable so you can be worry free when leaving for furry friends. I am a college student with a lot of down time to care for your furry friends. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my weekly schedule since I only have short classes in the mornings. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of, including walking, bathing, and much more. Anything you need for your pet I am more than happy to accommodate.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life so caring for them comes naturally to me! I’ve also raised litters of puppies and I am very comfortable with young dogs, training basics, and all the extra attention puppies need. I understand that every dog is different, whether they’re full of energy or need a slower, gentler pace. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m in college right now, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I plan my classes and schoolwork around pet care, which makes it easy for me to give dogs the time and attention they need! I try to stick as closely as possible to your pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention!

About: I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for! I am a current grad student at Tech and a massive animal lover and have a relatively flexible schedule to fit your needs. I am available most mornings and all evenings, and since I am from California, I usually stay around Lubbock for most major holidays. I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I've taken care of puppies and love all sorts of animals even reptiles! I have also worked professionally as a dog bather so if you would also like your fur baby to get a bath or if they are good for nail trims then I can help. I'm available anytime and day I'm needed to play with puppies or spend time with your dog or cat, walk them or even just to spend time with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I spend quality time with them so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away, whether that means playing, giving attention, or just keeping them company.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistent training, as well as senior pets who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I pride myself on reading each animal’s body language, building trust quickly, and tailoring my care to their unique needs—whether that’s reinforcing good habits, providing enrichment, or offering calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my college routine—I plan my class schedule and study time around feeding, walks, and play so pets always get reliable, focused attention. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with plenty of play, walks, and snuggles. In my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, exercising, and giving attention just like they would—so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Shallowater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shallowater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 Shallowater 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

To find sitters in Shallowater with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
