About: Hi! My name is Tess, and I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals and have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even some small pets. I’m passionate about making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for—whether that’s through walks, playtime, or just some calm company while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have an open schedule daily! My baby girl loves to be outside and would enjoy walks with your animals or just a regular drop-in! I have a fenced in backyard and a dog of my own. I will keep my dog separate from yours since she can be reactive to other animals. I’ll give your pet all the loving and care that I would give to my dog!
About: At 26 years of age, I reside in a spacious and comfortable abode alongside my spouse. Although we have not yet welcomed children into our household, we are blessed with the presence of an affectionate canine companion. My love for animals has been a constant throughout my life, and I derive immense pleasure from spending time with and caring for them. My pets are a cherished source of companionship, with whom I relish playing and sleeping. As I am currently based at home throughout the week, I have the availability and flexibility to attend to the requirements of any beloved pet. My attentive and affectionate approach towards pet care ensures that they are provided with ample playtime, nourishing meals, and ample adoration. Moreover, my expansive garden area presents an ideal space for pets to engage in playful activities and revel in the great outdoors. Taking good care of pets involves some simple steps like making sure they have a safe and comfy place to hang out, feeding them regularly and giving them plenty of water to drink, making sure they get enough exercise and playtime, and making regular visits to the vet. You also need to keep them clean and neat by bathing and brushing them and giving them some fun toys to play with. No matter where you're looking after your furry friend, whether it's at your own house or someone else's, always put their health, safety, and happiness first!

“Blake did a great job taking care of our 3 cats, cleaning up after them, and sending us cute photos and videos while we were out of town. Even when we were unreachable with no cell service, Blake took care of things here. We are so glad we hired her to take care of our fur babies and will definitely be calling her again!”

- 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.
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 Van Alstyne 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!
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.

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 .
