“Stephanie was so accommodating. She made arrangements to help me with a moments notice and was happy to do it. I loved seeing the pictures of my baby, Piper, each day. I will definitely use her again.”

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.
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!

“Aspen took such great care of my doggie, Luna. She was prompt and easy to communicate with. She also made sure Luna had some outdoor time and was very gentle with her. Thanks for loving on my baby!”

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.

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: Hi, I’m Danie! For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet like family. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleanup, and plenty of cuddles. I’m also experienced in administering medication, so pets with health needs get consistent care. You can count on me to be reliable and trustworthy. I show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and send photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Message me to set up a meet and greet!

I watch for any changes in their health or behavior and keep you updated, and I treat every animal like my own, with patience, gentle care, and lots of love.

“Alexis did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and two cats. She was always on time for feedings, made sure the animals had plenty of water, and cleaned the litter boxes regularly. More importantly, she played with our very needy fur babies. We will definitely book Alexis again when we travel.”

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.

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: Hi! I’m new here! Recently moved to Texas with my fiancé and our two dogs! I am a registered nurse looking to spend more time at home with my pups (and yours too!)! I provide more than just walks — I offer dependable, personalized care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. With experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, I understand that every pup has unique needs, whether that means a high-energy adventure, a slow senior stroll, or extra patience with shy dogs. I focus on safety, consistency, and building trust so your dog feels comfortable and excited every time we’re together! I understand that every dog is different. I myself have two completely different dogs, from their size to their behavior/demeanor, so I get it! What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have experience with dogs, cats, and many more. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable around large dogs and understand the care, patience, and attention that comes with bigger breeds. Now I have a long-haired miniature dachshund of my own, so I also have plenty of experience with smaller dogs and all of the personality that can come with them! Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different every pet can be. I’m very patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or just lots of cuddles and attention.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 411 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 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
