About: Hi future clients! * Just to let you guys know, I am currently boarding a cat until July 22! cat sitting or doggy daycare I grew up with having the pleasure of taking care of pet dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a love for animals, and had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats,hamsters and guinea pigs. I have experience from 2019-2020 in a CTE program in highschool for 2 years that I loved. I did farm work of taking care of all kinds of animals, horses, cows, to my kind teacher giving me one of the guinea pigs to take care of. I am grateful for the opportunity to take care of more beautiful animals. Communication is important for me, when it comes to my clients and the professional relationship. I am always home, so I have the room and schedule to accommodate my future clients. I have a baby girl named Karla and she is 1 year and 6 months who loves dogs and cats. My partner Allen works most nights while I am looking for clients. I am able to be flexible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community and follow all guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone. Dogs are always kept on a leash during walks, and I make sure to clean up after them promptly. I provide a calm, well-managed space and only accept pets that are friendly and comfortable around others to maintain a peaceful atmosphere.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine life without them - my two Great Danes and a Doberman even have their own room at home. I’m experienced in rare conditions and healthcare, administering of medication, senior and puppy care. I’m currently as of 9/17 not working and no commitments. I’m available to come just about any time of day. Feeding, walks, outside play time, it’s a 24 hour operation and I don’t restrict myself to take care of animals. If I’m coming to spend time with your pets, I’m coming to spend time with your pets. I’ll bring treats if permitted and I’m used to special needs diets and restrictions so my time is your time when I’m with your baby. I’m a huge fan of communication and updates.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner and animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was five years old. Animals have always been part of my family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every pet I work with. I currently care for a senior dog, which has given me hands‑on experience with medication routines, mobility awareness, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand how important consistency and gentle care are especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will not be left unattended and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! My Schedule & Availability The best part about booking with me? I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t be left alone waiting for someone to check in — they’ll have my full attention from morning to night. Whether it’s spontaneous playtime, an extra walk around the block, or just some couch cuddle time, I’m always here for it. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the household. My own pets help set a calm, welcoming tone, so most dogs settle in quickly and comfortably. A typical day includes: • Morning and evening walks • Midday play and enrichment time • Plenty of rest in a cozy, pet-friendly space • Regular feeding on your dog’s normal schedule • Daily photo and update messages to you
“Shu has been very gentle with my senior cat. She comes to give him fluids because he has renal disease. She is very knowledgeable about this issue with cats, and I highly recommend her.”
About: I live in the museum district area with plenty of free time on my hands as I work from home. I am a seasoned foster mom with loads of experience from neonates to seniors! My former career was in the animal rescue world. I’d like to continue working with and hanging out with animals. I am experienced in giving medications, injections, fluids, etc. Both of my senior cats get medication/fluids/injections on the regular! Working with a lot of dogs during my career, I am comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs that may be reactive, have stranger danger, or other behavior needs that need special care. I know how hard it can be to leave town or even be gone for the whole day missing your pets - I would love them just as much as my own and make sure all their needs are met. I have open availability and will block off any days that I am not available! I do allow same day bookings as well as recurring walking/check in times. During housesitting, I like to keep the animals routine as close to normal as possible to decrease any stress. I am very respectable in others homes and make sure to follow any requests/rules! I frequently have house-sitters watch over my pets when I am away, and I know the anxieties that can come with that. I like to be as upfront and trusting as possible.
“Joe was awesome! I was overseas for 20 days and he watched my sweet cat Roz every 3 days. He sent a lot of photos and updates. Roz clearly loved him and he clearly loved Roz. Joe's passion for animals transpires and he was super sweet with Roz. Highly recommend!”
“Brittaney did an excellent job taking care of our furry babies. She waa very attentive to instructions and even helped us out with house care. Will definitely book again soon. Thank you Brittaney!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets on and off for a while and absolutely love how each one has their own personality and traits! I can’t wait to meet more sweeties. I stay in Houston most of the year and have work majority of the day Fri-Sat but my availability is pretty flexible. Since I have pretty open availability just ask if a day/time works and I’m sure I can make it happen! I always try my best to make your pets feel comfortable while I’m in your home. After all it’s their comfort place not mine. I’ll always be ready with treats and pets :)
“Anna was amazing! She was really loving with Doughy and Bell Pepper and they had a ton of fun playing and being around her. She was extremely responsive and followed all the instructions we gave her perfectly.”
“Khea was awesome. Super trustworthy and was so caring to all my babies. Definitely went above and beyond while watching them. I would highly recommend and will rebook on the next needed occasion.”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years. I began working with pets professionally in 2015 as a dog walker, pet sitter, and trainer. In 2020, I entered the veterinary medicine field, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide variety of medical and behavioral needs. I am comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Diabetic pets • Pets requiring medications • Special-needs and disabled pets • Large breed dogs • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and loving care while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and communication throughout each visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a flexible remote-first schedule, which allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, feedings, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and cat care during both weekdays and weekends. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible and will always keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules to ensure consistency and minimize stress while you’re away. During visits, I pay close attention to behavior changes, signs of illness or stress, and your pet’s overall well-being. I have experience caring for senior pets, pets with medical needs, and animals that require extra patience, medication administration, or special accommodations. As a former Great Dane owner and current cat mom to two cats including a senior cat with multiple chronic health conditions I understand that every pet has unique care requirements and deserves individualized attention. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I treat every home and pet with the same care, respect, and attention that I would expect for my own pets.
“Jillian was absolutely amazing and so attentive to Jackson and his space. Thank you so much for looking after him. You were very sweet and helpful. I will book again in the future.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sunny Side
Great experience with Adriana! It was my first time using Rover and she was very flexible and willing to modify the booking as needed. During the visits, she was on time, very patience with my dogs, and kept me informed on how they were doing. They dogs loved her!
Once again, Olivia did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties while we were out of town for a wedding! We are so thankful we found Olivia. It truly alleviates so much stress and anxiety knowing that Leo and Chloe are taken care of when we are gone. She is so patient and loving with them, even when they make little messes here and there or are just being their quirky selves. Both cats trust her and warmed up to her quickly. We definitely could not ask for a more amazing person to look after them!! Thank you for all you do, Olivia!! 😊🙏❤️
Mateo is awesome!! We know that our fur babies are well cared for when we’re away. He’s amazing with our senior dog and precocious cat (and she’s quite picky). Feeding and mediation schedules are always on time and communication is excellent. We also get the cutest pics and videos. We would give more than 5 stars if possible.
Jennifer has been an absolute gem with our pups. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We always get thoughtful updates and come home to happy, well-looked-after dogs. She’s upfront about her schedule, easy to coordinate with, and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is squared away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
Annie was a lovely sitter for my best friend while I was on vacation for an entire week. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she followed all of my very detailed instructions. My dog is truly my child and I never worried once while she was with Annie. My dog got tucked in every night with a toy, I got many pictures and updates, and Annie was reliable and timely. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
