Taylor is awesome, had some technical difficulties and she handled it like a professional. She made sure Ginger was fed and had his medicine. I would definitely have her , to cat sit Ginger again. Thanks for looking after him in my absence.

About: I’ve owned 4 dogs throughout my life, my current one being a rescue, taken care of family and friends dogs whenever offered. I value making sure the animals under my care feel energized, satisfied, and rested. I value the owner equally as I do the pet as I’m willing to work within budgets and make accommodations to make sure those who hire me can continue to do so comfortably. I can’t wait to work with you so I can be blessed with responsibility to help make your dogs day amazing. I’m currently working full time Friday-Tuesday from 2 PM-11PM im available anytime in between those hours, as for house sitting I can arrive there by midnight and stay until 12:30PM, on Wednesday & Thursday I am available the entire day! I’m very vocal and will make sure communication is far from an issue. I typically like to start off my dogs day with a walk around the neighborhood on a path I've made for them that is free of any possible triggers, once they're all tired out I to take them back home to play and have dinner, making sure your dog is stimulated and rested accordingly.

About: Since I was a child I’ve always been around animals, big dogs to be exact. I’ve grown to learn how to watch them, wait on them, and treat them. In my family we’ve always treated pets as if they were your own children. So to me, it’s important to pass on that same respect to animals as I would to any other human being. I’ve learned to bath them, especially tiny and big dogs, although not in a professional setting, I probably have more fun than I should doing so. I’ve learned what to do and what not to do in regards of different breeds, meeting different types of people and actually following the preferences told by owners I’ve encountered. I am not a professional dog whisperer, but I will be very sure to treat your fur babies as one of my own at any time, anywhere. Pets are fun, and I have a real soft spot for the ones who need special attention. I am very close to a family who has had three beautiful great pyrenees mixes, all who have passed away during my 23 years of life, and I have experienced the life process. I’ve seen the over hyperactive puppy, the whines, the potty issues, the illnesses, and the aging process. I’ve seen the vulnerability of old bones, the struggle to climb steps they use to dash up on and I’ve felt pain of a ended life brought joy. Dogs, cats, and all pets included are very smart animals, they are very emotionally intelligent and being around them gives me a good mental boost! You can trust that I will take care of your fur Family. I’m currently studying for my LSATs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets! I honestly may need this more than you know. Animals lighten my mood, give me a sense of peace and get me active, and due to that I’m so available! I have a fenced yard, and I have a beautiful trail in my neighborhood, and there is a dog park also. I am super aware of the pavement to paw temperature just in case. I enjoy health as well, and will be serious of dietary needs for your pet. I have also fostered a cat and a bunny my sophomore and Junior year of college, so I’m very gentle, considerate and can deal with tantrums as well!

About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.

Eliana has been incredible with our pup. He's a bit skittish and nervous around new people and dogs - especially other dogs - and she has always made him feel calm and safe while we're out of town. She's our go-to Rover person now!

Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!

About: As a mother, teacher, and rescue board member, I know it takes a village to keep a household running. Now that I have the time, I am excited to support busy families with dedicated, experienced pet care. My Hands-On Experience Includes: Dogs (Big & Small): I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors. My personal pack includes two rescues that I successfully rehabilitated from extreme anxiety and severe underweight issues, and a third dog raised from a puppy with complex training, allergy, and dietary needs. Cats (Old & Young): I don’t personally own cats, but I always enjoy their independent and silly characteristics and always happy to help meet their needs while you’re away. Whether your pet needs structured routine care or loving interaction, your pets are in safe, experienced hands. As I transition from full-time teaching to part-time work, my top priority is focusing on my family while using my newfound flexibility to help yours. Because I am no longer tied to a school bell, I can be in your home when you need me most. Hours: Available from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM Mid-Day Relief: Perfect for working parents who need midday dog walks, puppy potty training, or precise daytime feeding. Evening Routines: Available for dinner feedings, evening wind-downs, and locking up your home safely for the night. As a former teacher and current reptile rescue board member, safety and organization are second nature to me. My daily life is a masterclass in routine, seamlessly managing my three happy-go-lucky dogs, a diverse personal reptile collection (from diurnal geckos to nocturnal snakes and tortoises), and a rotating cast of foster animals. Why this means peace of mind for your family: Meticulous Attention to Detail: Constantly adapting to the unique needs of foster animals has trained me to recognize subtle behavioral cues, respect boundaries, and strictly follow specific dietary or medication instructions. Species-Specific Routines: Whether it is maintaining precise temperature and lighting schedules for a sensitive reptile, providing relief to your kitty cat’s needs, or keeping a high-energy dog on a structured schedule, I understand that different species require different care rhythms. Safety First: From double-checking tank latches to managing dog interactions safely, I prioritize a secure, predictable environment. I bring this blend of structured efficiency, complex care routines, and loving interaction into your home so you can rest easy knowing your pets are thriving.

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.

About: I’ve had a chihuahua since I was a teenager. She’s just passed away in 2025 at the age of 18! She was truly my soul dog! Now, I have 2 cats, Clover (a Siamese) and Ash (a tuxedo). I love being their mom! I’m a careful pet owner (AKA I worry a LOT), so I will care for your babies the same that I do for my own! I’m currently looking for my next corporate role, so I’m available as often as you need me to check on your babies while you’re away! I have a fenced yard! I also am over-protective, so you can bet I will be overly cautious with your babies! I will treat them as if they were my own!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked with pets of all kinds—playful pups, independent cats, curious bunnies, and even the occasional lizard. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule allows me to plan visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. This means I can provide consistent, timely care and adjust to each pet’s specific needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday visit, or evening playtime. Being remote also allows me to stay nearby in case any last-minute needs come up. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, clean, and low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space with plenty of attention, play, and supervised care throughout the day. In both cases, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Van Alstyne on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,133 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Van Alstyne. 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 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.

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 Van Alstyne. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
