About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.
“I could not be happier with Dusty and the way she took care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond and even accommodated us when our plans changed. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dusty again !”
“I don't have enough words to express how great Carrice is!!! Carrice was seriously amazing with my boy Otis. He’s a recent rescue and still has some house training issues, so leaving him with someone new was EXTREMELY nerve wracking for me, especially because me and him are still getting to know each other too. She made me feel so much better the entire time by constantly keeping me updated, sending me pics + vids, and letting me know how he was doing. She was so patient and understanding with his accidents and just really kind to him in general. He got so much love and attention, and she even taught him how to sit!! She also kept my house super clean while I was gone, which I didn’t even ask her to do, and I appreciated that so much, especially because I wasn’t feeling well when I got back. She’s honestly just a really great person - very patient, thoughtful, understanding, and communicative. I could tell Otis was really cared for and that meant a lot to me. I’d absolutely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone!! (:”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was kid and I have own dogs since I was in middle school. My family even had 3 dogs at once. I work from home half the week and I am available to watch dogs. I would love to check in on your dogs or have them come hangout with mine during the day. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door that the dogs can use to have access to outside. My dogs love having friends to play with.
“Samantha has been wonderful! Both our dog and cat were very comfortable around her. Our senior dog had some medical concerns and Samantha was very prompt on informing us! She was very attentive and stayed by our senior dog’s side after the health scare incident. Highly recommend Samantha!”
“Kendall was awesome! She was available on short notice and very prompt with her communication. We needed help with our dog as she was recovering from surgery and she was amazing with her. Can't wait to use her again!”
“Genesis took care of my four dogs, in my home, for a week and did a tremendous job! She’s super sweet and very conscientious. I’ll be using her again! Thank you so much, Genesis!! ❤️”
About: I am a proud parent of a (king shepherd) named Anubis. I have recently lost my Lacey at her young age of 14 due to cancer. When a friend told me about this adorable puppy she was looking to find a home for who was abused and abandoned by the breeders due to him having flaws, I immediately knew I wanted him when she told me that. My friend showed up to my door with a puppy he was 8 months old and about 110lbs! He is now 150lbs and the happiest pup ever. I am able to choose what shift I want to take at my job therefore I am able to spend my days helping people with their fur babies as much as possible. I have a decent sized back yard, plus I will be home with the fur babies to play with them and walk and feed them.
About: I’ve helped train your German shepherd’s and they are the sweetest babies ever. Very well behaved and I also have a lot of patience for dogs especially puppies. I have a senior dog and also know the extra care that comes with having one. I’m a full time nail technician and stylist, meaning I have such a flexible schedule and if you need me to take care of your baby during the day I can always run and do so during my breaks. My work schedule at the salon is Tuesday-Saturday I can easily take your fur babies on walks, put them in their crate if needed feed them and also give them cuddles and rubs whenever they need them
“Karen is amazing! Every one of our dogs love her - even the two grumpy old men :) She was patient and kind and let the shy ones come around slowly - the others trusted her immediately. Karen was conscientious about our home and cleaned up all the messes! We will definitely ask Karen to come back :)”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for over 5 years and have a genuine love for all dogs and cats. I’m reliable, organized, and have strong time-management skills, developed through years of playing collegiate and club softball. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as I am now home from college. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety during walks and playtime, monitor pets closely, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“Samara is a bright, attentive and caring young women. Shelby was comfortable with her almost right away which is unusual with someone he doesn't know. Samara kept us informed and sent pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely book her again. Thanks Samara!”

About: Hi! I’m your friendly neighborhood dog walker—basically a golden retriever in human form. I love big dogs, small dogs, floofy dogs, scruffy dogs. Zoomies? Yes. Couch potatoes? Also yes. Sassy? Bring it. Shy? I speak fluent gentle baby talk. I enjoy long walks on the beach…and short ones to the fire hydrant. I’ve proudly owned 2 boxers and 2 poodle mixes, so trust me—I’ve seen it all. Muddy paws? No problem. Flying fur? Part of the outfit. Drool? Nature’s moisturizer. I literally cannot pass a dog without asking, “Can I pet your dog?” It’s a compulsion. Like breathing, but fuzzier. Bottom line: your pup’s in loving, experienced, slightly obsessed hands. Can’t wait to meet all the four-legged goofballs! I’m currently working part time as a bartender and part time from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am home most mornings and evenings. I have an apartment complex with a dog park in it. There are also lots of trails around me. I love going on walks, playing fetch and cuddling with all the fur babies.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Tawakoni
Staci was fantastic with Sky. She stayed at our house the whole time and took great care of her — walks, feeding, playtime, all of it. Sky and Staci’s dog Oliver hit it off right away, which was a nice bonus. Staci also collected our mail, watered the lawn, and got the trash out for pickup. We came home to a spotless house and a plate of homemade chocolate brownies waiting for us. 🙂 We’d welcome Staci back anytime, and we recommend her without hesitation.
Staci is a wonderful house and dog sitter! Highly recommend! She is conscientious and a good communicator. Since she works remote, she is with my pets most of the day - which gives me peace of mind. She has sat for me for weeks at a time while I was traveling overseas, and I didn't have to worry at all about my dogs or my home. She is great about staying in touch while I'm away. Thank you, Staci, for all your help! My dogs miss you and Oliver xo

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Tawakoni walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Tawakoni maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 West Tawakoni 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
