I highly recommend this young lady, she will not disappoint!”

When we got home they fur kids we so happy to see us but then would run over to Rachel as well, which told me they had a blast!! Thank you so much!!!”
“She was an exceptional pet sitter, demonstrating great attentiveness and care. I have four dogs and a cat, each with different needs—from an elderly dog requiring medication and extra gentle attention to young, energetic dogs that thrive on play. She responded promptly to all situations, ensuring each pet received the appropriate care and affection.”
About: I grew up with two dogs of my own, so caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. Over the years, I’ve watching dogs for family, friends and neighbors. I have looked after dogs while their owners traveled, handled dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and treated every dog like it was mine. Now I am ready to open that same care up to more pet parents. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, be assured that your dog will get my full love and attention every time. I work from home, so I have time available throughout the day to care for your dog. I am available for boarding, daily visits, and walks every day of the week, including weekends. I can walk and feed your dog on time. I do not have other pets in my home. Your dog will get my full attention. I have experience with dogs of different energy levels. I adjust my care based on what your dog needs, whether that is calm companionship or active playtime.
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Olivia is amazing!!! She stayed at our house for over a week to watch our five pets. She did everything we asked and our pets absolutely loved her! We definitely recommend Olivia!”

I do work full time but I have a flexible schedule. Mondays and Fridays I have the least flexibility I am still able to do 2 drop in visits on those days. Early morning and after 8pm. Please get with me on specific times if needed thank you! I have a Great Dane who is very friendly and will keep your dog company all day. I’m pretty flexible and can make sure to tend to your dogs normal schedule

About: Our pets aren't just our pets they are apart of our family! They are our babies! They need love, food, water, and most of all the most attention when your out of town.

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 Terrell 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 Terrell 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 Terrell 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.
