“Victoria did an amazing job, very last minute we realized our previously used Rover sitter had moved (much to our dismay because she was awesome too) but luckily I saw Victoria's bio and the fact she was in the Army I took as a sign because my dad was also in the Army. She did an amazing job and went above and beyond having to build a "barricade" but it was successful and our dogs seemed to really love her judging by the pics she sent. We definitely plan to request her in the future and recommend her.”

About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

“Dominique is the GOAT! I have had several Rover sitters over the years and Dominique is by far the most dependable, good-natured and communicative. She gives GREAT feedback...lots of details and specifics regarding walks, playtime, antics, feeding time, etc. I just love the wonderful, often hilarious little anecdotes she provides me about the time she spends with my beasts. No curt little "All is well" notes for Dominique! Instead, she goes to great lengths to describe exactly what happens during her visits. Thanks for being Mot and Skube's favorite sitter, Dominique! We really appreciate you!”

“We had such an amazing experience with Kassandra during our wedding weekend! 🐾🤍 Leaving our two babies while traveling for our wedding was something I was honestly a little nervous about, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated our dogs like her own. We received updates and check-ins, which meant so much to us and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding without constantly worrying about how our babies were doing. It was such a relief knowing they were safe, happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. Our dogs clearly had a great time and were comfortable with her, which says everything! I’m so grateful for the care and kindness she showed our babies during such a special weekend for us. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving toward their pets. We will definitely be using her again! 🐶❤️ Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies! You gave us one less thing to worry about during our wedding weekend, and we truly appreciate it! 💍🐾”

About: I have had pets and all types of dogs ever since I can remember. I have taken care of dogs with many needs. I have experience with administering medication‘s to puppies, taking care of senior dogs, and adapting to different dogs in their type of care that they need. I am comfortable around all dogs. When I am taking your dog on a walk, doing a drop in or staying the night I will dedicate all my time to making sure they are loved and cared for. I have a dog of my own named Moose, and I love him so much. I am in nursing school and I usually have class Monday-Thursday, 8-4pm. I am always available to do a drop in during my lunch break around 12 PM to one. Then after 4/5pm I am free! I work nights at the hospital about once or twice a week. I am looking for drop ins, walking, and some over night stays for female owners only. It would be great to come check in on your dogs and just hangout while I study or do homework as well. At capstone, there is a dog park and a long walking area. I always see dogs running around and it is a very friendly area. I am very familiar with walking dogs and knowing what to do in a conflict.

About: I’m an Animal Science student at Texas Tech with hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I understand animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to keep pets safe and comfortable. I have experience working with different temperaments, including energetic dogs and more anxious pets. I’ve also worked at a pet hotel, where I handled onboarding, daily care, walks, pet runs, potty breaks, and enrichment activities. This role taught me how to manage multiple dogs at once, read behavior cues, and safely step in when needed—including breaking up conflicts. I consistently maintained a safe environment and never had any issues under my care. I take pet care seriously and focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, walks, or just giving your pet attention and companionship, I make sure they feel at home while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I currently work part-time, but my hours have been reduced, so I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal behavior and animal science while earning additional income. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends with prior confirmation. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and accommodating to your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and overall well-being to ensure pets feel secure and stress-free. At home, I care for my own cat, who has access to a stimulating and enriching environment with plenty of toys, scratchers, and high-quality treats, including freeze-dried options like shrimp, minnows, and chicken hearts. I maintain a clean space by regularly cleaning the litter box every 1–3 days using natural, fragrance-free litter. He also has access to a stainless steel water fountain with a filter to promote clean, bacteria-free water, and I support his health with a balanced dry diet supplemented with salmon oil. This level of care reflects how I treat every pet—paying attention to detail, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure their physical and emotional needs are met.

About: I really care about animals and pay attention to what they need to feel safe and happy. I’m patient and easygoing, so pets usually feel comfortable around me. Most of all, I’ll treat them with love and make sure they don’t feel alone while you’re gone. I am currently a college student and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can check in on your pets during the morning/afternoon when you’re at work! I have a fence in my backyard that was put in 2 years ago! I have a large backyard with many trees! Your animals will be cared for and loved in my home!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shallowater

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 408 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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.

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
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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 .

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.
