“Taylor has been great for drop in visits with our puppy! Attends to all of her needs, takes her for a walk, keeps us updated at needed, and makes sure we have a happy pup. Will definitely use Taylor again in the future and refer her to others!”
About: I have a lot more experience doing check-in visits and house sitting. I have been house sitting and doing check-in visits for an elderly dog when needed for two years. I have only boarded once for two weeks and it was a great experience! The dog I took care of became a part of our little family when she was with us! I do not mind picking up messes, giving medication if needed, and paying special attention to animals that may require extra duties. I love animals so much! I promise to love your animals just like I love my own! I hope to be hearing from you soon! I am currently a stay at home mom looking to bring in some additional income. I have plenty of time during my days to pet sit or do drop ins. I have a cat and a 3 year old. My animals are never left unsupervised with each other or my child. I can set them up in our large bathroom if that’s what the family wants. However, I prefer them to have free roam of the house when I am home which is a majority of the time. I would take on daily walks around my apartment complex so you will need to provide collar or harness and a leash. I am available most of the day so potty breaks can occur as frequently as every 2 hours.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve had the joy of caring for my own dogs, a big pup for 9 years and a little pup for 5 years and they’ve taught me so much about love, patience, responsibility, and companionship. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing fetch, going on walks, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. Caring for dogs has also taught me what it means to be a mother to be patient, attentive, and always make sure they feel safe and loved. When your dog stays with me, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home and my schedules are pretty flexible. I will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and take them on a walk too. I am home all days a week with my two fur babies We let out dogs on furnitures, your pets can lounge and get comfortable anywhere they want to. We have a big fenced backyard. I can give them potty breaks as much as they need. Let me know about any food/treat preferences, allergies, or any additional information you feel is necessary. I can’t wait to treat your dogs as my own. I can pick up your babies if you have a busy schedule . Just $10 more for both pick up and drop off.
About: Hello I’m Ashton! I grew up in Central Texas and throughout my life I have had several pups all the way from a Great Dane named Samson to a Miniature Schnauzer named Roxi. One of my babies just left this world and his name was Dakota he was 14 and the most handsome old man. I now have a 8 year old Great Dane/ English Mastiff named Bronson. I definitely would love to watch over your pup and get to make your pups happy while you are away! If your dog needs a little more care just call or text me and I’ll do everything I can to meet your pups needs. I look forward to meeting your fur baby.
About: I have always had dogs growing up, big and small. I love all sorts of animals and can care for dogs, cats, and other household pets. I have 2 dogs, a Vizsla and a Morkie. Our vizsla is a bird dog with very high energy. I trained him in puppy training all through intermediate. I also have done service hours with the Animal Shelter. I am a junior in college at Texas tech University, I have a consistent schedule with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-3. In the school year I am in Lubbock and during the summer I am in the DFW area. I am attentive and patient with your dog and their needs. I will always contact you if I feel something is wrong but also use my best knowledge and judgment to not take up your time. I have lived with dogs all my life, especially a couple that would run out the door, I feel I am able to manage dogs escaping and those with very high energy. I care to get to know your pet and love it, because I know they mean just as much to you as my own pets mean to me.
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was a child, and over the years I have been able to not only take care of many different kinds of animals but also can train as well! I recently just had a surgery so I am available most of the week! I’m still in recovery but handling animals is no big deal. I am excellent with getting any animals trust, and I have a perfect record over my previous jobs to be dependable and trustworthy! I like to leave things in better shape then I found them.
About: Growing up with dogs—from my childhood Yellow Lab, Chili, to my German Shepherd, Jaylee—instilled in me a lifelong love and deep respect for pets. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for years, handling everything from daily walks to overnight care. As a college student, caring for dogs isn't just a side job for me; it’s something I truly enjoy. I take pride in providing a safe, attentive, and fun environment where your pup feels right at home. As a biochemistry major with a double minor in math and biology, I’m used to staying organized and focused. I intentionally manage my workload so I never take on pet care unless I can give your dog the full time and attention they deserve. My busiest day is Thursday during my lab, but because most of my coursework is online, I’m home study-buddy style with your pets during the week. Plus, I keep my Saturdays completely free for fun trips to the park or Starbucks pup cup runs! When caring for your pet in your home, trust and safety are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and ensure your pet is kept supervised and out of harm’s way by keeping all hazardous items completely out of reach. I also believe that clear communication brings peace of mind, so I send frequent updates and photos throughout the visit to keep you connected with your pet every step of the way!
About: I have owned a pet for 16 years so I have a very good knowledge of animal care. I have two personal dog and many family pets! I’d love to watch your fur buddy! I am currently doing online schooling with no other job, therefore I am available at all times of the day. I am in college and have lots of free time due to having a light load! I can take your pets out as often as needed! I love giving furry friends treats and lots of play time! I have one puppy who eats at 8am and 8pm and goes out around every hour!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Claire Reitan and I am a college student here in Lubbock. I have been dog/cat sitting for some time now back in my home town, College Station, and now Lubbock. I am an animal lover and would love to be able to watch yall's furry friends if out of town, a little check-in on them while at work, or a little date-night! If you need someone to spoil your pets while you're gone - I'm your person! I am currently working part time but I am capable of taking care of your furry friends anytime I need to do so! I am very excited for this opportunity! In my clients home I will feed and make sure their pets of plenty of water as well. I will definitely play ball with them for a bit and maybe a walk as well!

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
