About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
About: -Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience since age 10—walking, grooming, and providing both overnight and daytime care for dogs of all personalities. -Owner of a 1-year-old mixed breed (American Staffordshire Terrier, Chow Chow, Pitbull, German Shepherd, Dalmatian) who is sweet, friendly, and loves to play with other dogs—giving me firsthand experience with energy management and socialization. -Calm, laid-back approach to dog care: I match my energy to the dog’s mood to keep them comfortable, happy, and relaxed. -Flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, overnight stays, or drop-in visits. -Guided by my faith in God: I strive to show the same love, patience, and respect to every dog and their owner that God shows to me. -Committed to giving pets a safe, loving environment while keeping owners informed with updates and peace of mind. I am a full time property caretaker, so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. I can bring dogs to my place and have them outside all day with me or I can leave them at their home and visit 3 times throughout the day within a 10 minute drive from my house. Pets needs are top priority, food, water, potty, meds, outside time, etc. I will not go to the ends of the earth just to get Spot his pup cup if you know what I mean.
“I highly recommend Meghan for all things pet sitting. She is prompt with responses and gave our boy the best care I could ask for while we were out of town for a week. I received daily updates and photos, and I could tell our dog was very happy with her! I also had to schedule a last minute request and luckily she was available and got back to me immediately, so she saved the day!”

About: I have owned pets all of my life. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, chinchillas, and conures. Pets are members of your family, not just animals living in your house! I am 65 years old and I currently substitute teach part time. I would be very flexible with hours to visit to your home and when I come see your pet; I will treat them as if they were my own. When coming into your home, I would take the time to get to know your pets needs and personality. Every pet is an individual. They need to be treated with respect and loving kindness.
“Alyssa did a 30 min drop in. She arrived early and stayed a little late and asked questions when she was unsure. I gave her limited instructions and she took the initiative to take the dogs for a walk and top up their water bowl. I was very pleased with her service and I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and family friends ever since I was 8. I have fostered kittens, raised a puppy, and kept my own pets in the best health possible for 10+ years with love and proper care. Pet care fits into my daily routine in many aspects. Feeding, walking, and letting my dogs out is something I couldn’t go a day without missing. I will care for others pets in just the same way I care for my own. With my whole heart!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Starr is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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.

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 .
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.
