“Haleigh did a wonderful job! Her communication was outstanding. From our introductory meeting a week prior to leading up to the overnight care of a dogs she remained in constant contact with me. Our home and dogs received excellent care.”
“I was out of town from Sunday through Thursday. I was a little nervous about a stranger watching my pets. But she really came through. She communicates right away and I came home to a clean house and happy pets. I would definitely use her again.”
“Kayla was a delight to work with. She was dependable, stayed in great communication throughout our travels. Zippy was in great shape when we returned. Kayla had to maneuver a couple house issues and did so with understanding and helpfulness. I will hire her again.”
“Jacie’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and regular communication (with pictures!) allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our canine and feathered family were in attentive hands! Evident by how much they loved her and followed her around! In addition, she was a considerate and helpful house guest and anticipated tasks I had not thought to mention. Jacie is an absolute Gem!”
“Kimberly did an excellent job of house sitting our 3 furbabies. She is very pet friendly and loves them as if they were her own. Kimberly maintained excellent, prompt and professional daily communications with us. Kimberly followed all the instructions given to her at a high level of detail and asked questions if needed. Kimberly took excellent care and was very attentive to our furbabies needs during severe thunderstorms. Kimberly is a very professional, caring, respectful, loving person. We will definitely have Kimberly house sit our furbabies again. We highly recommend Kimberly for caring and sitting for your pets.”

About: Been around animals almost all my life. Worked with working dogs growing up. I now have a two year old dog and her names azula :) I’m a full time college student and love spending time with dogs. I have some free time and would love to help others making sure their dogs get the attention they need! My dog is crate trained and i have an extra at home. My home is decently dog proof I never leave things out that could easily break.
About: I have been fortunate to love and care for pets of all types for over 40 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to chihuahuas and cats of all temperaments. In college I worked at a rescue facility for animals and I also have worked with farm animals. I have some medical experience and comfortable giving medications and treatments on animals with instructions. I am semi-retired and can spend more time with your pets. I am retired from my corporate job and work sporadically as a professional real estate inspector. When hired to care for your pets I will have few distractions and will be able to spend as much time as needed caring for them. At home I have 2 small-medium sized dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs have full use of. I also have a pool that dogs who like to swim can use. I frequently take them on walks at a local park or longer hikes at Tyler State Park. At your home I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. I am able to check in frequently or stay with them, depending on distance and their needs.
About: I’ve been in the vet med field all of my life, as my dad is a veterinarian and I am now a veterinary technician. I’m a single mom looking to love on your babies as much as we love on our own. I’ve had many years of experience in all animals. Caring for pets every single day has been a routine for me since I was little bitty. Being in the vet med field I have experience with young and old fur babies as well as special needs and pets that need medication Play time and snuggle time is so important for pets, especially through the stress of their parents being away. I can care for puppies and kittens, senior pets, and pets that need medical attention.
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.
About: I have taken care of my friends pets and have helped take care of their dogs and cats Amma times. I have done drop in visits, overnight stays, and walking. I can assure you that your pet will be in safe hands. I am caring and empathetic and will ensure your pet gets all the love and cuddles! I’m currently a post-doc in need of extra money to help pay for school. I am available during the weekends to help with pet care. Unfortunately I will not be able to care for them at my home but am more than willing to care for them at your place or take them in walks!! Because I will only be able to care for the pets in the owner’s home or take them In walks, I will ensure they are taken care of the way you require. I will ensure I follow all instructions provided. I can dog/cat sit, let them out for pee breaks, feed them, and take them for walks!
“Genesis took care of my four dogs, in my home, for a week and did a tremendous job! She’s super sweet and very conscientious. I’ll be using her again! Thank you so much, Genesis!! ❤️”
About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 7 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!
About: I have plenty of free time to walk and play with your dogs and cats and keeping both you and them happy. My schedules are super flexible and I can housesit your pets whenever when you’re off to work. I can also bathe them if they have been playing in the backyard, rolling in the dirt, and gets too stinky. I do have two cats, the black one is named Happy and the orange one is named Teo. They are super sweet and I’m pretty sure our pets will get along super well! I will have a dance party with your little best friends. Oh fun fact about me is that I used to be the chaplain of FFA in high school, so I know a thing or two about animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play and walk with your fur babies. I’m available most of the time, just shoot me a message! I currently don’t have any pets in my house, so it’s perfect if your fur babies are shy or don’t do well with other pets.
About: Veterinary-experienced pet sitter specializing in cats, senior pets, medications, and pets needing extra care. Injections, medications, and a little more love go a long way! I work full-time, but I have 2 cats as well, that would love to meet your pets! I would love spending my off days watching or keeping your pets too! I am well trained on medicines and foods. I’m good with crate training or anything else known before hand. My pets will be at my house, but they are very excited to see other animals. I can feed your food at request or what I have on hand!
About: *I can work with you on prices* I’ve spent over 15 years caring for all kinds of pets who just want a gentle touch so they feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like they would at home. Reliable care, happy pets, and peace of mind for you—that’s my promise. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most days with a flexible schedule that fits your pet’s needs—walks, playtime, meals, and snuggles whenever they need. I’m home full-time, so your pet will never be left alone for long Cozy home with two friendly dogs—a calm senior and a playful 4-year-old. Secure yard for outdoor fun and plenty of indoor space for relaxing or playing. I’m home full-time with my 3-year-old, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. We are a 5 minute walk to the lake in a gated community so its very safe. We all know each other in the neighborhood. I usually walk down to the water and let the pups get a good picture for Momma & Daddy

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tyler
Mariah is amazing. She provided us with video updates each day and responded quickly with additional updates. Mariah is an animal whisperer as I have one very loyal to me only dog. Mariah while house sitting provided a safe space for her and I didn't come home to an anxious, overstimulated dog. I strongly feel that Mariah went above and beyond my expectations and I hope to be able to have her visit again soon. THANK YOU MARIAH!!

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 Tyler 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 Tyler 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.
Tip: 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 Tyler 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
