Our Danes loved her! Will definitely rebook and recommend her to all our friends! ?”
About: This is mine (Katy Snipes) and my husbands (Chad) account. We have had dogs and cats our whole life. We are comfortable with basic training and commands and love the old timers who need a little more TLC. We can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I (Katy) am currently a stay at home mom with my sweet first born son. I am very flexible during the week and would love to get on some walks with your pets. My husband offers available hands week day evenings as well as weekends. We have a fenced in back yard that our beagle loves to run around and play in. He is a spitfire when the energy is high, but can also lounge around the house when he knows it’s time to chill. We have a crate available if that is needed. However, our house is very pet friendly and open for your pet to make themselves at home.
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have cared for my own pets, my friends’ dogs and cats, and I will take care of yours as if they were my own. I am reliable and punctual, and I will give your pet all the attention and loving they deserve- walks, playing, petting, feeding. I am capable of caring for elderly pets as well, as I have. 13-year old dog myself. I can administer oral and topical medications. I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of yours pets. I am available any time between 6:30am to 9:30pm for drop-in visits, and I am able to do overnight stays. I will follow your rules regarding your pet, making sure they are cared for in the way you prefer. I will communicate and leave a note for each visit, and make sure you know how your baby is doing!
“So kind and thorough! My dog has anxiety that can lead to biting, and Brianna was so good with him, and my 2 cats! Very fast responses that I really appreciated. Followed all instructions and cleaned. Definitely will rebook!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs! Whether that means a long walk, playing, or simply giving them some company and attention. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 7 AM–3 PM, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I also have weekend availability, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I have one friendly, crate trained and house trained dog who gets along well with other animals, as well as two cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different routines and personalities, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you know how your pet is doing.
“Razelle did a Great job. I would recommend her to other people and I would certainly use her again. She is a wonderful person with great skills and is outgoing. She loved 🥰 my dogs and my dogs loved 🥰 her. I am very happy with ROVER. This was my 2nd time using Rover. Brenda Litton”
About: I grew up with animals ranging from cats all the way up to horses. I grew up with jack russell terriers, so dogs with a little extra “personality” do not bother me! I love dogs of all sizes and have a very good understanding of dog behavior, body language, and overall knowledge. I am CPR certified for animals as well! I work part time and am able to set my own schedule, so I’ll be able to work around the schedule you and your fur baby needs! Whatever needs your pet requires, they will each be met. Each pet’s care will be personally tailored to their specific needs, personality, and their wants.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Startex
Sara was wonderful with our sweet elderly cat. She gave me a boost of confidence to help push through to begin travelling again after several years of being home-bound with demanding caregiving. It's daunting to get back out there and Sara made me feel very comfortable being away for a few days.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Startex on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Startex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Startex 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
