“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.”
“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!”
“Arisha is the best! We’ve used her multiple times to watch our 3 cats and she always does a great job. Very communicative, sends lots of photos, and our babies love her! :) Will continue to book her!”
About: I have always loved animals from feeding, trying to talk to strays, to having animals of my own! I have always been the person to take the responsibility of all care of dogs mainly but I have experience with cats and even bunnies ! Sadly I don't get my dogs any more due to the family dogs passing away I gifted my baby girl to my mom I would love to see and take care of yours! Truly missing all 3 of mine ! Currently my schedule is open I am trying to get more time home with my daughter would love for it to be a regular thing ! Tell me how you take care of yours and I'll do the same! Personal opinion but EVERY dog is very different and what works with one may not with the next !
“Kimberly is very polite and sensitive to our needs and wants for our cat Leo while we are gone. She communicates with us everyday. We hope she will be available the next time we need her. Thank you Kimberly Mark and Teresa”
“Robin was absolutely wonderful! Prompt in response prior to booking, came over that night to meet us and the kitties, and was 100% reliable and communicative! Great photographer too! Have a cute collection of photos of our little fur babies! Would 100% recommend and book Robin!!!!”
“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.”
About: Compassionate and dependable pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have been caring for pets since childhood, providing trusted care for family members, friends, and elderly pet owners. Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Skilled in reinforcing basic obedience and puppy training, including potty training, sit, stay, and lay down commands, using patience and positive reinforcement. Dedicated to treating every pet like family by providing personalized attention, affection, and reliable care. Committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment where pets can thrive and owners can have complete peace of mind. With the flexibility of working from home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule enables me to take regular breaks to care for pets in my own home or travel to clients’ homes while maintaining their established routines. I am committed to following each pet’s individualized care plan, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and exercise requirements. I understand the importance of consistency and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind. As a lifelong animal lover, I provide a safe, caring, and enriching environment for every pet entrusted to my care. My home is situated on spacious land with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and exercise. I have three friendly outdoor dogs who are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. Inside my home, I have two calm, senior dogs who are gentle, well-mannered, and welcoming to visiting pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I understand that every animal thrives on consistency and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest periods. I also recognize that every pet has a unique personality—some enjoy constant interaction while others prefer quiet companionship—and I respect their individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are being treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets
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 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.
“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!”
“Amazing!! Felt so relieved to know they would be taken care of! She was so great with communication and on time!! I will use her every time as long as she is available!!!”
“Never have to worry that the pups are in good care or are bored as Mercedes takes such good care of them! Even with curveballs or unique requests, she simply takes care of our dogs so we don’t have to worry!”
“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: 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.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’m always excited to take them on walks and show them much love!💗 I am originally from Orange, California and just moved to TX. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and sitting throughout the week. I will accommodate to your needs and your pets’ needs to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m very attentive and will take great care of your pets.

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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
