“Charlotte does a great job with Jackson. She sends lots of updates which makes us feels at ease. We know he is in good hands. Charlotte came over a day before the booking to meet with us and go over the care instructions. We have a puppy in training and she was happy to use the training techniques during her stay. She is very responsible and we highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Bri, and I believe every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve someone who will love, respect, and care for them like family. 🐾 I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to make both you and your furry family member feel completely comfortable from the very first meeting. Whether your pet is joining me, daycare, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and individualized care I give my own dog and family. I proudly provide personalized pet care throughout the Back Mountain and Dallas area. Every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, routine, favorite activities, and comfort level so they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I especially enjoy caring for puppies and senior dogs, but I welcome dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, sniffing every tree in the neighborhood, or curling up for quiet cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to what makes them happiest. I’m Pet CPR certified and participate in ongoing Professional Pet Sitting education to stay current on pet safety, behavior, and best practices. Your pet’s well-being is always my highest priority, and you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. When swith me, your dog will enjoy a large yard, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My sweet mini Labradoodle, Ellie, loves making new friends, and I also have separate rooms and crates available for pets who prefer a quieter environment or need their own space. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is seeing dogs remember me and run to the door excited for their next visit. Building lasting relationships with pets and the families who love them is the most rewarding part of what I do. To provide the highest level of care, I intentionally limit the number of pets I accept at one time. This allows me to give every guest the individualized attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they deserve instead of simply supervising multiple dogs. Whether you’re planning a vacation, need dependable daycare, regular walks, or drop-in visits while you’re away, I’d be honored to care for your best friend. Because to me, pets aren’t just clients—they become part of the family. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I welcome planned vacations, repeat local families, and long-term relationships with my clients. When availability allows, I’m also happy to accommodate occasional short-notice requests. I care with absolute passion.I have separate rooms for your pup/ cat and a large crate when needed. I have a fenced in yard for lots of room to roam and play. As well as a furry friend to play with Ellie my mini labordoodle.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and I had helped with the puppy stage for two dogs in the last 5 years. My family got a German Shepherd puppy 5 years ago and then we decided he needed a friend so I helped with a new puppy who’s a Beagle just this past fall. I also have had recent jobs where responsibility was a necessity as I was a para educator with special needs kids over the summer. I’m currently a college student so my weekdays are pretty busy with classes and trying to keep up with school work but I could be free on the weekends depending. At home I help with feeding my dogs, one of my dogs has epilepsy so I’m familiar with giving medications, I also help to walk them and love to play with them to help them get their energy out. I have also helped friends and siblings with watching their pets when needed.
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover with a flexible schedule and a passion for helping both pets and their owners. While I'm new to Rover, I'm no stranger to caring for animals. I'm a proud dog owner and have two cats, so I understand the importance of providing pets with love, attention, and a consistent routine. As a parent of young children involved in sports, I'm active, organized, and used to managing busy schedules. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your pet company while you're away. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I'll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can count on me to treat your furry family members as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work from home and live right in town. This gives me great flexibility in my day to meet your needs as well as a close travel distance. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions provided by the owner.
About: I don't know that anything sets me apart, if you love a animal you love them, you do whatever needs to be done without question and with love. I'm retired at this point but I enjoy animals of all kinds, I take care of many friends and families animals when they go away vacation, work, or in the case of any kind of emergency. Cat's, dogs, horses, etc.❤️ Right now I live alone I have a senior dog and for her care until her time.I would love another baby in my life. Thankfully!
“Maggie was great! Super friendly, super prompt, excellent communication, very respectful and polite. The dogs loved Maggie and they were well taken care of during their visit. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was eight. Not only my own personal pets, but also those of friends and family members. I do not currently have any pets, but I love animals, so this is my way to interact and spend time with them! I currently attend school, but my classes are spread out and only on certain days so I have plenty of time to take your dog on a nice, long walk. I'm really good as being able to tell if an animal is comfortable in a situation or not, so after our first walk, I can find the most enjoyable route for your dog!
About: I’ve helped care for my families pets while showing them love and tending to their needs :) I have always been the one to feel closer to animals than people, so I will care for your pets like family I will be able to work any hours any day :) I have a completely open schedule as I am a stay at home wife! Willing to help out whenever works for you! I love all animals and am able to connect with them easily! I play with my kitties and give them lots of love! Food 2 times a day for my babies and water access all the time!
“We were so grateful for the care Danielle provided for our French Bulldog during our 7-day vacation. She went above and beyond, keeping us updated daily with videos, pictures, and texts, which made us feel completely at ease. Danielle even surprised our pup with a few new toys as a thoughtful gift! She was incredibly respectful of our home, always asking for permission when needed. We couldn't be happier with how comfortable and well-loved our pet was while we were away. We've already rebooked Danielle for future visits and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 164 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shawanese. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Shawanese walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Shawanese maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Shawanese 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
