About: I have professional experience working with dogs in structured daycare settings, including as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia. I managed playrooms of up to 35–40 dogs at a time and worked with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable reading dog body language, supporting safe group play, and staying calm and confident with both high-energy and anxious dogs. I also worked with Southlake Crittercare as a dog driver and handler, safely transporting dogs to and from daycare and assisting with playgroups organized by energy level and play style. In both roles, I cared for boarding dogs and handled daily routines such as feeding and administering medications. Paying close attention to individual needs and keeping dogs comfortable and secure was always a priority. Outside of my professional roles, I’ve provided in-home and overnight pet sitting for friends and family over the years. This includes caring for a home with four Basset Hounds of varying ages, including senior dogs requiring multiple medications. I understand how important consistency and clear communication are when someone else is caring for your pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive and reliable with pet care throughout the week. I value routine and consistency, and I strive to make sure each pet receives the time and attention they need. Clear communication and planning are important to me, so owners always know what to expect. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping routines consistent and stress low. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs, and I stay attentive to changes in behavior or appetite. My background in dog daycare and handling has given me strong skills in reading body language and managing different temperaments, including high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. For walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and each dog’s individual pace and comfort level. I treat clients’ homes with respect and take care to keep pets secure by following door, gate, and leash protocols. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I’ve owned dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors. I’m a sitter who treats your pup like my family! Personal attention and peace of mind. I have an extremely flexible routine because I do not have a job. I’m also an empty-nester with just my husband and myself at our home. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of room inside to accommodate your fur-baby. You can count on me for pictures and updated information daily.
“Madeleine was dependable and resourceful. I left a feral cat in her care and he was more challenging than I expected. Bernie had not been socialized and ran away whenever Madeleine came. But she stayed,talked to him and tried to coach him over to her. She also made sure that he had food and water to drink. I know that her care insured Bernie being here when I came home. I appreciate it.”
“Claudia is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond with in-home visits for my dogs, ensuring they were not only well-cared-for but also happy and relaxed. Claudia provided regular updates and photos. I could tell my dogs absolutely adored her. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Kimberly is always so great to work with. My family and I know that our pups well cared for when she’s coming to help care for them. My pups love her and so do we!”
“Hope did a fantastic job checking in on our two cats! She communicated well and handled our boys’ particular meal routines with ease. She also took the sweetest pictures! We will absolutely be calling her back.”
“Lauryn took incredible care of our cat for a little over three weeks. We know our cat wasn't the easiest at first with her injections, and we are so grateful to Lauryn and her husband for stepping up, trying different things, and finding a creative way to handle an elderly cat safely. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. Thank you for going above and beyond. We highly recommend Lauryn!”
“So glad I found Abby!! She took care of my cat so well and calmed this anxious cat mom with regular updates and pictures! I’ll definitely use her the next time I need a sitter!”
“Annabelle was the best sitter! I was so nervous leaving our dogs for a week, as we have never left them for that long of a period of time. They stayed at our house, and Annabelle came 3x a day and sent me tons of pictures. It was so reassuring to see that they were always happy and smiling and wagging their tails upon her arrival. I left lots of directions, and she followed them perfectly. I found that I didn't have to worry one bit about them because Annabelle went above and beyond in caring for our dogs. I would absolutely recommend Annabelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”
About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.

Abbygale was great! She took amazing care of my cat while I was gone for a week long trip. She kept me updated with photos and spent extra time caring for him. Snickerdoodle seemed very happy in all the photos and she did a great job of communicating and keeping me updated as she was caring for him.

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 Westlake 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.

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.
