“Samantha will be the only one I trust to watch my gunner moving forward. I genuinely felt she loved my boy just as much as I did and gunner must of felt it because he loved her immediately. This was my first time using anything outside of boarding and as long as she is available this will be my first option moving forward.”
“Danielle was great with our two dogs. She was very dependable and very transparent through the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to go the extra mile with their pets.”
About: We have lots of room for your dog to play on our 1 acre lot! Lots of toys to play with and if they like to swim we have a pool! Me and my wife both work from home so we have plenty of time to care for your pets! My wife is only part-time and has lots of fun with dogs. We have a large fenced in backyard plus an additional fence area and three separate dog crates small medium and large. Our dog is socialized and loves other dogs to play with.
“Estefania was wonderful. This was my first time using a dog sitter service and it was a great experience. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and was very accommodating. I will definitely be requesting Estefania for future trips.”
“Tom was very responsive and arrived to take care of my fur babies exactly as requested. If our schedules match up, I would not hesitate to request his assistance again in the future.”
About: I've loved animals from a young age. It all started with black labs for duck hunting. I was a vet assistant and horseshoer for many years. I've had dozens of personal pets throughout my life, and am now looking to love on and help care for other people's furry friends. I am recently retired and need something to occupy my time and give me purpose. When thinking about what I'm passionate about, animals is what is first to come to mind. I am up early and start my day with a walk. I am home most everyday and have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced, clean yard with a covered patio. Plenty of space to roam and run. There is a water hose for plenty of water available. I have a glass back door looking outside. I can bring them inside the house as needed.
“Bobbie took great care of our dog and Kitty! Our animals usually dont immediately take to strangers, and even won't eat. Not with Bobbie! They took to her immediately and ate normally the entire week we were gone! We highly recommend her!”
About: I typically help neighbors & family with their pets when they’ve gone out of town many times. Walking, feeding, medicine, baths, etc. My parents recently got puppies that I helped raise from a month old! 💙 I work from home as a video marketer & work part time door dashing, which allows my schedule to be insanely flexible to help out with play time, walks, & drop by visits. 😎 I often help my elderly people bring their groceries all the way to the kitchen. I make sure to greet the animals, let them build confidence & trust, before entering the homes. My intention is to leave a safe impact on the house.
About: With over 7 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I’m comfortable providing care for pets with specialized needs. I have hands-on experience administering oral medications, managing detailed feeding schedules, and caring for senior cats + dogs with limited mobility. Whether your dog needs an energetic run or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’m calm, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as you’ve outlined it. I’m also a proud pet mom to Charlie, my 6 year old Australian Shepherd. He’s an energetic Aries, a total mama’s boy, and my best friend and he can totally vouch for how much I love animals! 🐾 I currently work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible and can work with pet owners so that my personal pet care works best for their schedule! As an Australian Shepherd dog mom, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes in a variety of settings, whether at home, on walks, or alongside other furry friends. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of building trust with both pets and their owners. I’m respectful, reliable, and committed to treating your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I've always been an animal lover! I Have taken care of animals since I could remember. I would love to care for and love your sweet babies like I do my own.

I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday, I'm available for check ins in the evening anytime after 4pm through the week and anytime Saturdays and Sundays. I can do feedings and check-ins, as well as house sitting and walking. If you need something extra for your pet just let me know!
“Siera was so helpful for us while we were on vacation. She was flexible with our scheduling, kept us updated with our dog and even helped us with a bee issue that rose while we were away. We highly recommend using Siera!”

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 Van Alstyne 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.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Van Alstyne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
