About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve attentive, compassionate care while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each pet's needs, whether that's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply offering companionship and affection. I know how important consistency is, so I follow each pet's routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and communicative. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide the same level of love and attention I would want for my own animals. I am retired and currently looking for part-time work doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outdoors. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends in their homes and understand the importance of maintaining each pet's normal routine. I'm also happy to welcome pets into my home, where they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment while you're away.
“Katherine and Sudeep took excellent care of our babies, and had great communication with us for the 7 days we were away. We will definitely be rebooking with them next time!”
“Bailey is super communicative and reliable! She sends pictures and is completely trustworthy & I will hire her again and again! I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job in watching my little girl Bella. She was very respectful and responsive in her care of Bella while I was out of town. Will definitely rebook in the future! Thank you Jessica!”
“Sabrina is amazing! My pups loved having her come over and she kept me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and videos. She not only let our dogs out during her drop in visits but she stayed for 30-45 minutes and played with them and gave them lots of attention. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to any of my friends here in town!”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets and learned early on how to train, care for, and support them with love and patience. From daily walks and playtime to consistent routines and gentle training, I treat every pet as if they’re my own family. I have open availability as I am a full time graduate student. I’m available to take care of pets, walk them, or do drop in visits. I care for pets by walking, feeding, and having fun with them, for those that have a specific schedule I stick to it. I make sure to avoid any furniture or open areas that might interfere with pet safety.
About: An experienced and professional petsitter who has previously worked for On Paws Professional Pet Services in San Marcos, Texas. I have also grown up with two dogs, a hamster, and two birds, who have since passed. My roommates' animals have felt like family to me, and treated as such. Since living on my own I’ve had my own cat, Umami who was the cutest character and wild child that I loved so dearly! I've also cared for a couple of porch kitties and fostered a dog who found her furever home too. ^.^ I would love to keep your pet company (and vise versa!) I’m currently only working remotely part-time, so I have some wiggle room to care for your pet(s)! I would be able to feed, play, and walk, and possibly stay with them during my time off! I would definitely treat them as my own, and try to make them as happy and comfortable as possible, while making sure their needs are met. I like to know their daily routines so I can try to stick to them as closely as possible.
About: I have 3+ Years of Dog Experience & Hands-On Experience with Canine Healthcare. I’m a pre-med student with over three years of experience caring for dogs and a genuine passion for their health and well-being. As a proud weenie dog parent, I’ve personally navigated my own puppy’s medical challenges alongside him, including trips to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital to help find solutions and get him the care he needed. These experiences have deepened my love for animals and strengthened my passion for canine healthcare. Your pup will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!❤️ Here’s a polished version for your Rover profile: I work at a neurology clinic only two days a week and have plenty of availability for your pets! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays after 6 PM. I’m also available for 24/7 potty breaks and care on my available days, excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your pup will be staying in a safe, loving, and welcoming home with my friendly 6-month-old Dachshund, who is well-socialized with other dogs and regularly enjoys trips to the dog park!
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all shapes and sizes since I was a little girl. Cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, a chameleon. You name it, I’ve probably cared for it. Animals hold such a special place in my heart and in this world, and they deserve to be treated as such. I have experience with puppies and older dogs, caring for sick animals who need medication administered and specialized care. I have experience bathing, training, and everything in between. My too many Australian shepherds have taught me the importance of mental enrichment as well as physical activity. I treat every animal as my own and will provide peace of mind that your fur baby is safe with me! I currently work part-time for my family owned HVAC, electrical, and plumbing business while I do my masters of business administration program online. This allows for my schedule to be very flexible ensuring I’m able to meet your needs. The safety, comfort and protect protection of your animal is my highest priority. Constant supervision of your pet ensures they aren’t getting into anything they shouldn’t be. (Like the trash can if they’re anything like my dog) Creating a warm and comforting environment for your animal so they feel right at home is something I always strive for. Understanding that not all animals are the same, they have different personalities just like us human humans, and that each will require a different approach to gaining their trust.
About: I am currently a LVT at a zoo. My boarding experience includes working at at PetSmart Hotel and a small animal clinic. I regularly volunteer at animal shelters, and have experience working with shy or anxious pets. Also, I have 8+ years of experience with small exotics (guinea pigs, reptiles, rats, ferrets, etc.) and 2+ years of experience with zoo exotics. I am a full time LVT at a zoo. I am happy to care for your pets during lunch time and after 4pm Sunday-Thursday, and anytime on Fridays and Saturdays. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet's well-being, and ensure they receive the care and attention they need. I will do everything I can to make sure they stay happy, active, and comfortable.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats, including energetic puppies and multiple dogs of my own. I provide loving, patient care and treat every pet like family. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily work around your pet's needs. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently only provide pet care services in my client's home so pets can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and keep their normal routines. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners by following all care instructions closely, maintaining a safe and clean space, and giving each pet plenty of attention, patience, and affection while their family is away.
About: I've always had dogs and cats growing up and have been caring for them since I was a tiny human; walking dogs that are bigger than me, bottle feeding a kitten, cleaning up after a litter of puppies, giving old puppers their medicines. I've been responsible for playing, walking, training and feeding the pets of my friends and family for years. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size. I'll be using your preferred cues/commands and plenty of pets/cuddles with your pupper for them to be super comfortable with me. Besides my Shepherd mix that always wants my attention, I have a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs! My availability is mostly open, just let me know when I can help. I take detailed notes off your instructions on your home and any special care needs, so, rest assured I'll make sure your dog is always safe and happy.
“Second time with Cathleen and she was fantastic! We got regular updates and she followed instructions well. We'll continue to have Cathleen check in on our pets when we're away.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a pet in the house until recently. My sweet boy passed away at the age of 13 recently, and I want to care for dogs while I wait to find my next baby. I work from home and have dog sat for family many times. I love all animals and just ask that any potential visitors are potty trained and friendly. 100% chance they will be spoiled and get extra cuddles. I work from home Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m - 4:30 p.m. Have a large fenced yard, and pet- friendly house. I love to walk my quiet neighborhood with my dog. I am a dog lover. Have had a dog or two for more than 55 years, and they have always been members of my family, and treated as such.
About: I have had four dogs over the years along with over 100 fosters over Covid. Even after Covid, we still take in puppies every once in a while, although recently, we just got a new puppy. I am extremely flexible with my schedule currently , and will be for majority of the summer. I don’t mind housesitting and I don’t mind learning new things to take care of different pets. I also have experience with reptiles as I used to have a bearded dragon. Although, sadly, we had to rehome because of his health issues 🥲. I have no permanent job, although I will be taking time over the year to spend with my family. I have recently started school, and I go to college on Monday and Wednesday from 8 AM to 3 PM. All I ask is that you give me a heads up on when and where you need me. Two of my current dogs are very low maintenance, as Rusty has gotten older he has gotten arthritis so we go on as many walks as he can tolerate. Austin is the definition of a couch potato. While Isla hates the leash, but we are training her to comfortable with it. I truly believe that your pet is my pet and I will always take the best care of any and all pets I encounter. I truly love animals and look forward to meeting your best friends.
“Laila did a great job with my son Mello and communicated very well! I wasn’t worried at all during the three days she feed him, I told her she was on food duty and went the extra mile to sit and play/cuddle with him. Definitely recommend”
About: I've taken care of my family's dogs ever since middle school. I have trained multiple puppies, so I have experience handling them. I also have experience with senior dogs.

I love playing with my dogs and making sure they feel loved. I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for. They are members of the family.
About: I have my Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Conservation and was an animal caretaker for 4 years at a local wildlife sanctuary. I was also a pet sitter for 4 years and have taken care of my own 4 rescue/foster dogs over the past 14 years. I have experience with all animals (reptiles, rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, etc.) I currently work from home full-time. My schedule can be flexible, but will be available mostly for afternoons and evenings for weekdays. Weekends I am available mornings, afternoons or evenings depending on the date. Typically take Sundays as a personal day, but if you need long-term care that is flexible! I will follow all instructions/guidelines that you have for your pets in your home to ensure their care and safety. Comfortable to administer any medications as well. Will ensure home is clean after every visit.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shavano Park
Megan was amazing. I was out of town for 6 days and she took great care of my dogs. One of them got really sick while I was away and she kept me informed of everything. She also spent hours of additional time that she did not have to in order to make sure they were ok and everything was cleaned up. I will definitely be using her in the future.
When I returned home and saw my dog thriving, I knew I had found someone who genuinely cares. Kelly gave my Bulldog exceptional attention, going far beyond basic care. Knowing each visit was full of affection, bonding, and thoughtful support allowed me to be away with complete peace of mind. I’m truly touched and so appreciative of Kelly’s dedication
Sydney was very communicative and sweet towards my fur babies. Coming back home was like I never left, I appreciate how attentive and caring she was. She sent me multiple photos and videos which I greatly appreciated and asked all the right questions. Highly recommend, if I can book again I will!
Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩
Karen is amazing she goes above and beyond to make sure my fur babies are taken care of. She is very communicative and provides such great service! I would HIGHLY recommend booking with her, she has never let me down, this is the second time booking with her and will continue to book with her as she is very trustworthy! Thank you Karen!!

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 Shavano Park 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.
