“Jane is a great dog sitter for our two senior dogs. We appreciate the care she gives them. She is a great communicator and sends us cute pictures while we are away. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well
“Brodie took to Karissa from the very first moment. She was very professional and I knew he'd be in good hands. She sent a photo update every day so I could see he was doing well. It was nice to come home to a clean house as I left it and a well-kept-for dog who got to snuggle.”
About: Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ducks, and chicks. Being around so many different animals taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing meals and fresh water, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow their specific care instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I do work full time so this is definitely more of a part time job for me :) but I will work best with you as my schedule allows! Im over the top when it comes to love and caring for animals so I will make sure to meet the necessary standards on making you feel comfortable and safe leaving your animals in my care.

Certified dog trainer through Petsmart. Dog care and training is what I do full time! I understand the time constraints in the corporate world and will do everything I can to accommodate your scheduling needs. I treat every pet with respect and love.

“Vicki was an exceptional in-house dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. Left my dogs happy, healthy, and my home spotless. Couldn't ask for a better pet-sitting experience. Highly recommend!”
“Luis is perfect, he follows your detailed instructions of how to take care of your dog! And he updates with you often. Smooth and clear communication. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was awesome!! She took my last minute booking to stay overnight with my dogs! She is so sweet and my babies loved her! She sent me pictures and I was shocked to see how calm they were! I will definitely use her again!”
“Melinda was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond caring for our 3 large pups post-spay, giving them gentle, attentive care every single day. Melinda sent daily pictures and detailed report cards so we always knew how our girls were doing, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Melinda even helped improve our puppies’ leash manners with one-on-one attention and patience — such a thoughtful touch we didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Amazing service!!! She tended to my fur babies with so much love.. Vintage didn’t want to leave her arms, he typically isn’t the affectionate one. I received daily updates and was able to enjoy my getaway with no worries.”
“This was the first time i have left Sadie with anyone other than family and I was nervous on how Sadie would do. Shannon did an amazing job with her and I got lots of pictures from the whole weekend letting me know that my fur baby was okay and in great hands! Thank you Shannon!!!”
“Lesly was great!! She agreed to watch Shelby on short notice and kept her busy all day. Shelby was completely worn out by the end of the day and happy as can be. Thanks Lesly, we really appreciate it.”
“Chelsea was AMAZING! She sent updates everyday with pictures included. Loved on our cats as well as our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter with Chelsea and will definitely be using her again!!”
“Josh & Erin were so great with my pups. It was the first time we use a sitter service and we were nervous about the whole process. They did a meet and greet and asked a bunch of questions, answered all of ours, and were really comfortable around our 2 German Shepherds and Chihuahua. They stayed in our home and took great care of our dogs. We got pictures and recaps of their days. Thank you so much guys, can't tell you how much we appreciate it!!”
“Karen was awesome! She took such incredible care of our Dog, and the house looked better than we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. We would certainly ask her to come back.”
“Nina was very communicative throughout her stay with my dog and cat. She took very good care of both and i appreciate her professionalism throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Excellent experience! The house was just as we left it. I loved the pics and updates of my dogs' play and temperaments. I absolutely recommend Carrie.”

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 Splendora 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 Splendora 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Splendora 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
