About: I am a college student who has a love for all animals! I have always been the pet care go-to for family and friends, growing up. I figured why not make money, and make new furry friends?! I am a full-time college student who has time around classes for check-ins, and weekends open for animal-sitting! No job at the time so this will be where the money comes from! I am a grad student who is more than happy to hang out and play with your fur babies! Whether they need to play fetch and chase for hours, or just need company, I am the perfect candidate.
“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful! She is dependable and trustworthy. It's obvious that she loves animals and my pups Bonnie and Boo adore her. It's been such a blessing to feel confident that Bonnie and Boo are so well taken care of while I travel for work. ❤️”
“Victoria was great help checking in on our dogs while we were gone for a weekend trip. Helped give us peace of mind while away. She made sure they were well fed and watered and had play time each day. She even took the time to come by to meet us and talk to us before our booking, as this was our first time to use Rover. Would definitely use her again. 5 Stars!”
About: Hello! I'm here to care for your fur baby when life if too busy. I've grown up with dogs and have two of my own. I'm very flexible and can mold to your dog's needs. I currently have an open schedule to care for your dog. Monday through Friday 9am-4pm. Weekends open. If these hours don't work for you feel free to contact me and we can always work something out! Please let me know of any specifics of your pet. Their favorite pee spot. Keep them away from big dogs. Whatever request that may be! Also, If you're feeling unprepared. I do have leashes, treats, harnesses, portable water bowls, etc. Just let me know and I can accommodate.
“Dominique was great! She communicated regularly about the cats and even took extra time to try to connect with my very shy kitty. I was able to enjoy my time away without worry. Thank you Dominique!”
About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and energetic pups. I make sure each pet gets personalized care, attention, and affection based on their unique needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week to focus on caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, daily walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling to match your pet’s routine. Your pet will always get consistent attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I provide a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I always supervise outdoor time, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and can crate your dog if you prefer or if it helps them feel secure. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for.
“Isabella did a great job with my cat! Super happy that he was safe and got lots of love while I was out of town! Even cleaned when he had accidents, very much recommend her!!”
About: I grew up with large dogs -Cane Corsos, Mountain Malamutes, German Shepherds, Great Danes, etc.- all my life. From small dogs full of energy to gentle giants, I take the time to get to know your fur family's needs so their routine is comfortable, consistent, and stress-free while you're away 🐶❤️ I'm a full-time student with Rover as my part-time job year round and during peak holiday periods; I do drop-in visits, house sitting, and walks! My personal schedule fluctuates frequently which provides an incredibly flexible schedule based on your fur children's routines. 🛑 🗓️ I do require at least a weeks notice for bookings and can't guarantee last minute scheduling. 🛑 🏠 I cannot provide boarding in my home. I prefer going to where the pets are the most comfortable for their care, in their own home. 🏠 At your home, I prefer to have every detail possible to make sure your fur family's routine is being upheld from administering medicine, outside time, to minimal home care such as watching over plants. 💊 If your fur children have specific needs (senior, kitten, puppy, surgery recovery, etc.), I'd love to open up a conversation on how I can make them feel the most comfortable while you're away.
About: I haven’t taken care of dogs for my entire life, but I’ve always had a passion for them! I have experience taking care of my roommates pets since I’ve been in college and I now have a dog of my own that I care for! This includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and maintaining consistent schedules. The dogs I’ve cared for range from 6 months to 10 years old so I have experience with all ages and stages of life. I have a deep love for animals and I’m an agriculture major at Texas Tech so animals are part of my studies as well! As a college student, I value communication and reliability. I’ll make sure your pet receives attention, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated! My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have another part-time job, so I will have a lot of time to care for your pets! I’m typically available to take care of your pets after 3pm Monday through Thursday and all day Friday through Sunday! I will not be taking pets in my own home as I live in student housing, but I know the importance of keeping your pet comfortable both in and outside the home! I have a dog of my own and it took him a while to get comfortable, so I know how to help a pup adjust and will learn your dog’s personal quirks to ensure the best care!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, rabbits, birds, Guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hamsters, gerbils, snails, geckos, and owned most of them! Thank you for considering me to take care of your baby(ies)!! I’m currently working part time in the mornings. I will be available early mornings, afternoon, evenings, and weekends. I can help you most any day. I have a fenced in yard, 3 friendly and playful dogs, and we use a doggy door. We frequent dog parks and walks are very common!
About: I love animals and I would love to make yours feel loved and safe when you can’t be there yourself. You will not be disappointed! I can accommodate your schedule! Long term or short term, I can come to them while you are away. I can help ease your worries! I will stand in for you while you are away and do things your way! Trust me with your pets while you can’t be there

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 406 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shallowater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Shallowater 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shallowater. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
