A Texas pet owner whose dog went missing while being cared for by a Rover pet sitter says he lost contact with the sitter as soon as the search for the pup began.

Devin Garza, of Denton, told WFAA he left his Rottweiler mix named Juno with the pet sitter when he left for a trip June 8. It was the third time Garza left Juno with this particular pet sitter, who was booked through the popular app Rover.
