Reyanah is so great with Kevin!! We can see by the great photos and videos she sends that Kevin just treats her like another member of the family that show up to give him exclusive attention every one in a while. He clearly loves spending time with her and we appreciate all her love and care so much!!

About: I have always had pets since I can remember from cats to dogs, bunnies, chickens, so I grew up caring for many animals. I would also pet sit for family members and friends. I currently have a dog and a bunny! I love exercise and nature, so I’m constantly outside playing sports or walking/running and hiking. I love to look for new spots for hikes or short walks and parks. I also have a part time job of only 12 hours a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I currently have a bunny who has her own little pen. My apartment in a gated community and near a park! I am very organized and can follow any specific routines needed for pets of any needs.

About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to help your pet(s) feel secure and comfortable.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved them. I’ve also done training myself on my own dogs and researched plenty about various breeds. I’m a student currently off for the summer looking to fill the rest of my day with some work doing something I enjoy while expanding my experience with other dogs. I have a house which contains several dogs, 1 cat and a large backyard in which I play and train them in. I also do my own grooming.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that your pup isn’t just a pet — they’re family. That’s exactly how I care for every dog that stays with me: with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies needing structure and playtime, to sweet senior dogs who just want a calm companion and a cozy place to nap. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and needs, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, giving medication, or simply offering extra snuggles and reassurance while you’re away. My goal is always to make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and at home. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish), which helps me communicate with pet parents and follow every little instruction with care. You can count on me to treat your pup as one of my own — with warmth, respect, and lots of tail-wagging joy. 🐾 Español: Como amante de los perros de toda la vida, entiendo que tu perrito no es solo una mascota, es parte de tu familia. Y así es como cuido a cada perrito que llega a mí: con cariño, paciencia y mucho amor. Tengo experiencia cuidando desde cachorritos llenos de energía que necesitan estructura y juego, hasta perritos mayores que buscan tranquilidad y una compañía amorosa. Me tomo el tiempo para conocer la personalidad y las necesidades de cada peludo, ya sea seguir una rutina especial, administrar medicamentos, o simplemente darles apapachos y tranquilidad mientras tú no estás. Mi prioridad es que tu perrito se sienta feliz, seguro y en casa. Además, hablo inglés y español, lo que me permite comunicarme con claridad contigo y seguir cada detalle que me indiques. Puedes confiar en que cuidaré a tu perrito como si fuera mío — con respeto, ternura y mucha alegría perruna. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not just something I do, it’s something I truly enjoy. I work from home, which allows me to give my full attention to the dogs I care for throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the yard, quiet cuddle breaks, or sticking to their regular feeding and potty schedule, I’m always present and involved. Because I’m home most of the time, your pup will never be left alone or feel neglected. I’m flexible with schedules and happy to adjust to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and safe, just like they would at home. Español: El cuidado de perritos es parte natural de mi rutina diaria — no es solo algo que hago, es algo que realmente disfruto. Trabajo desde casa, lo que me permite estar presente y atenta a los perritos que cuido durante todo el día. Desde paseos por la mañana, juegos en el jardín, momentos de apapachos, hasta seguir su horario de comida y salidas al baño, siempre estoy ahí para ellos. Como paso la mayor parte del tiempo en casa, tu perrito nunca estará solo ni se sentirá desatendido. Tengo un horario flexible y me adapto fácilmente a la rutina que ya tiene tu peludo, para que se sienta cómodo, tranquilo y como en casa. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to find someone you can fully trust — someone who truly cares for your pup like you would. That’s exactly how I welcome every furry guest into my home. I live with two sweet and friendly dogs: one is 8 years old and full of playful energy, and the other is a gentle 15 year-old who brings calm and balance to our pack. They are both very social and used to sharing their space with new doggy friends. We have a spacious fenced backyard where dogs can explore and relax. We have a grass area that is safe and fully enclosed. For walks and playtime in other grassy areas, we love exploring the green yards around our quiet community, especially in the cooler hours of the day when the sun isn’t too strong. Inside our home, dogs are treated like family — with soft resting spots, fresh water always available, and a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and at ease. And if you’d like, I’m happy to send you daily updates and photos of your pup, so you can feel connected and at peace while you’re away. Español: La seguridad y el bienestar de tu perrito son mi prioridad. Entiendo lo valioso que es dejarlo con alguien que lo cuide con tanto amor como tú, y así es como recibo a cada peludo que llega a mi hogar. Vivo con dos perritos adorables y sociables: uno tiene 8 años y es juguetón y alegre, y el otro tiene 15 años, es tranquilo y transmite mucha paz. Ambos están acostumbrados a convivir con otros perritos y les encanta tener compañía. Contamos con un patio trasero amplio y cercado, contamos con un area de cesped donde pueden moverse y explorar con total seguridad. Además, vivimos en un condominio muy tranquilo con áreas verdes donde salimos a caminar o jugar, especialmente en horas frescas cuando baja el sol. Dentro de casa, los perritos son parte de la familia: tienen lugares cómodos para descansar, agua fresca todo el tiempo, y un ambiente amoroso donde se sentirán tranquilos y cuidados. Si lo deseas, con mucho gusto puedo enviarte fotos y actualizaciones diarias para que te sientas cerca de tu peludo en todo momento.

About: Ever since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog and my family friends have always asked me to take care of their dogs while away. I adapt to any special instructions you may have and am very attentive to them. I believe that dogs are such amazing animals and they deserve the best care!! I work part time right now and do online school at the same time so my schedule is quite flexible. I drive and have a mini suv so if need be I can transport your dog and even take them to vet visits! I am able to check on your dogs throughout the day whether it’s to take them outside, feed them, or take them on a walk.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole like. Growing up my mom had a dog rescue so I was constantly caring and loving new fosters! Whether it was playing with the pups or giving medicine to the seniors, I enjoyed every minute of it. I am currently working part time so I am pretty flexible. I work morning shifts and am off before noon. I am able to work around what works best for you! My pets are usually with me 24/7. I have a closed off courtyard that my dogs enjoy wondering around. My pets have portioned meals and are on a feeding schedule. My dogs are walked either in the morning or at night to avoid the hot pavement. My cat is pretty independent but when he chooses to want attention, we play for however much time he thinks is needed. He also has a feeding schedule. I clean his litter box weekly and ensure the litter is scooped out once or twice a day.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old, giving me more than 40 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I understand that every animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to provide the individualized care, patience, and attention each pet deserves. Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, medication (if needed), and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, maintaining their regular routines, or simply providing comfort and affection, I enjoy making pets a priority and treating them like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routines and keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personalities, preferences, and routines. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

I have three large dogs — which is no small feat — and finding someone I trust with them is everything. Our sitter was absolutely incredible. She didn’t just watch them; she was fully engaged, spending more time playing with them than I usually get to myself. My dogs can be a handful, and she handled them with so much energy and love. I came home to three happy, tired pups, which says it all. Highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with big or high-energy dogs!

About: I've always had a love for animals, and as a pet owner myself, I understand just how much our pets mean to us, they're family. Being a pet sitter has allowed me to turn that passion into something I truly enjoy. For over 10 years, I've had the privilege of caring for pets as if they were my own, and there's nothing more rewarding than building trust with both pets and their families. I know that leaving your furry family member in someone else's care can be stressful, so my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives you complete peace of mind. Every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and anxious, or enjoying their senior years, I provide patient, personalized care to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for senior pets, puppies, and anxious pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and supplements to both dogs and cats, and I always make sure they receive them exactly as instructed. In addition to caring for your pets, I take pride in looking after your home as well. I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, and help with other basic household tasks so you can return home to everything just as you left it. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting, so you can expect regular updates with photos and videos throughout your trip. My hope is that you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, loved, and being cared for by someone who genuinely treats them like family. I strive to create an experience where both you and your pet feel comfortable from the very first meet and greet.

About: Human to Shadow, a 6 year old male. After adopting him as a 6 week old puppy, I became fully invested in learning more about how I can provide my pups with the best care while enjoying life together. I understand it can be difficult to finding the best match for the needs of your pups while you are away which is why I joined Rover as a sitter. My schedule for day drop in visits are by case to case, however, my evenings and nights are very flexible. For full day services, I am available Friday-Sunday. My goal is for pets to feel as comfortable as they are with their humans. I will follow any instructions provided and will ask questions as needed to ensure that the pets routine and environment are not disrupted.

About: I’ve taken care, treated recovered dogs and have found a home to multiple dogs . My last puppy was a 9 year old (they are puppies no matter their age) was in a badly state when found and vets said she wouldn’t last a year. She stayed with us healthy and running for 5 years until a little tumor took her. I’ve also dog sat , Labrador retrievers with diabetes (injections and cleansing of eyes), weenier dogs that suffer from seizures (give medication on a specific time) and other dogs. I am a part time worker and online college student. I am available from 7:00 am - 3:00pm although my work schedule varies therefore my availability may be more accessible based on the day. I ensure that they have water and food in their designated food trays, I ensure that all the dog’s entrances ( outside /pooping area- inside/rest designated area) are accessible for them throughout the time I leave and their owners get back to them. With that, I also ensure the safety doors so there is no way for dogs to escape. I make sure to inspect the house for any safety hazards and will ask or call before leaving. Better safe than sorry.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thermal on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thermal. 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 Thermal 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thermal. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
