“Taylor is a dream. I’ve tried a few Rover sitters in the past, but none as conscientious as her. She shows when she says and does what she said she would. I was a bit wound up when I left this time, but relaxed as we progressed through. She is great and I will use her again whenever she is available. My kitties enjoyed her showing up every day. That’s the important part.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as helping family members with their pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I am patient, calm, and very respectful of each animal’s personality and space. I’m especially gentle with shy, senior, or more sensitive pets, helping them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, receive attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. I understand how important routines are and I always follow instructions carefully. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, and I provide updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and confident knowing your pets are in caring and reliable hands. Pet care is a dedicated and organized part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule one day in advance to ensure I can provide reliable and punctual service to every client. I currently offer drop-in visits Monday through Friday between 6am and 3pm. I limit the number of visits per day so each pet receives calm, focused, and attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I ensure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are administered as directed, and the home is kept clean and respectful. I provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stable experience for both the pet and the family.
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.
“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!”
“Baileigh has been providing regular drop-in visits with our dogs and has done a fantastic job. She’s very reliable, has been able to help with extra requests when needed, always takes time to ensure our dogs get good attention & are well taken care of on her visits. Our dogs are older as she’s done great to understand how they are each visit and adapts between good visits/contact or walks depending on how they’re doing. She always checks in and provides updates and pics. Highly recommended!”
“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 raised two puppies in the past few years and cared for my senior dog for several years, so I understand the unique needs of pets at every age. Along with dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and even a bearded dragon, giving me experience with a variety of animals. As a nurse and dog mom, I’m reliable, compassionate, and detail-oriented. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just keeping your pets comfortable, I’ll treat your fur babies like family. As a nurse, I have a pretty flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan time for pet care. Don’t hesitate to reach out—I can often fit in visits whether it be weekdays, weekends, or even holidays. When I care for pets, their safety and happiness always come first. In your home, I’ll stick to their usual routines—whether that’s walks, meals, giving medicine, or just spending time with them so they feel loved and secure. I’m happy to go on neighborhood walks, play games, give snuggles, make enrichment toys, and even help with baths if needed. My goal is to make sure you and your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
About: I love being the go to person in my neighborhood for drop ins. Since taking a step back from a very stressful career to enjoy my girl’s senior year of high school, I’m looking to just make extra cash and keep active . I have 4 dogs of my own. 2 Frenchies , an English bulldog and a Bull Mastiff. I have open availability due to taking a step back from work to enjoy more time at home with my family. I’d love to be considered 💜 You let me know your routine. I’m an early riser. I like to wake up at 4:30am and start my day. I can work with almost any schedule. I’m happy to pick up while I’m there, and stay for about 20-30 minutes to love on those babies. I have great references
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.
“Blake was very good and patient with my cat (who was wary at first, but opened up after a few visits). She was also very responsive to messages outside of her booked to visit visiting hours, and I enjoyed the photos and videos she would send to show that my cat was playing and eating.”
“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: You’ll always get daily photos and videos of your fur baby when you’re away! Provided daily care for dogs and cats, including feeding, grooming, daily check ins and over night stays. Administered medications and managed special dietary requirements as directed by owners. I do have a part time job as well so I would love to discuss scheduling and accommodate as best as I can to fit into your schedule. I always check in with pet owners every day and send them pictures and videos of their fur babies. I always make sure they are fed and have water. And will walk them however many times the owner requests
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I currently own 6 dogs and 1 cat, aswell as a wide variety of farm animals. I know it is worrying to leave your pets with someone you don't know but I will care for them as if they were my own. I am comfortable with caring for young - senior animals. I am a teacher so am available for the whole summer during day times. During the school year I am available for morning and evening visits. I am always available at weekends. I can offer lots of love to your pets while you are away. I am happy to spend time playing or relaxing with your animals. I am also happy to take care of household duties while you are away - for example: taking mail inside or putting out trash cans.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Van Alstyne is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,983 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Van Alstyne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- 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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
