About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care, and I truly appreciated her accommodating my last minute request. I feel very lucky that she was available. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”
“Esmeralda was a great communicator and sent pictures of my fur babies to me at each drop in. My cats normally hide but they came out for her instantly. That’s a good sign. :) I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Alejandra took great care of my pups when I had to go out of town and couldn't take them. She stayed with them for the full time, cleaned up after them and administered meds for my senior dog. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: I’ve loved pets my entire life ! I’m a very trustworthy sitter who makes sure to give pets more TLC while reassuring pet parents along the way! I am currently self employed, so my schedule is very open! I’m also open to specific schedule accommodations and needs that make pet care easy and smooth. I am very accommodating to your pet and what they may need. I offer dog walking, quick check ins, and also overnight/weekend stays as well!
“Absolutely amazing. She did everything I asked, and then some. All of my crazy crew of my little dachshunds absolutely loved her. Definitely will be rehiring her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with their dogs. Recently, I’ve been pet sitting more consistently for friends, building strong trust with both pets and their owners. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety, so I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s unique needs. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pup and I’m generally available Monday-Saturday from 8 am-8 pm. I respect your dog’s needs first and foremost but especially your personal boundaries as the homeowner. I’ve babysat in many client’s houses before and know the importance of respecting the environment. Please let me know your rules and requirements and I’m happy to adhere by them as I care for your pup!
About: My name is Edwin D Rodriguez I live with my mom and sister, I will would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. I would gladly take care of dogs, size from chihuahua to labrador. Size or breed of dog doesn’t matter when it comes to housesitting or daycare at my residence. I will do all I can to respond as soon as possible. I have been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was a freshman in high school. We have a decent sized house, but not big for a Saint Bernard to live in, but we do have a big backyard. Possibly the biggest backyard in my entire neighborhood, if a dog is required walking I’ll be right on it. I recently graduated from college, so my schedule is more flexible. If housesitting, walking, daycare or drop-in visits are needed, I’ll be there whenever possible. House sitting is rare but whenever I do, I make sure the dogs are safe, secure and well fed. I also make sure the client’s house is well taken care of also.
“She took care of my pups for drop in and last minute booking! Thank you so much Madeline! Will definitely book her again! She’s so good with my puppies despite my very last minute booking. Her communication was open!! & provided me photos. ❤️ definitely recommend!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, I have worked with animals for 6 years. I had worked at an animal shelter as a trainer, moving on to a board and train facility. Afterwards, I dabbled into pet grooming and now I am a vet tech! I wanted to share that I'm currently working from home. I'm available every day during the week, and I try to balance my work with an active lifestyle. It's important for me to stay engaged and maintain a healthy routine while caring for animals and pets. I currently reside in a welcoming motel that offers a safe and spacious outdoor area where dogs can enjoy some fresh air on a leash. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, so I also take my time to visit sniff spots if needed. Inside my room, I create a stress-free atmosphere that’s quite roomy, with my two dogs who are crate trained, ready to provide a calming presence for other dogs that might feel a bit anxious around others. My goal is to ensure that every dog feels secure and at ease during their stay.
“Denise took great care of my cat, Willow! I greatly appreciated the videos that she sent, it gave me peace of mind while I was out of town 😊 I would definitely book again!”

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 South Houston 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.

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.
