About: I have a love of all dogs, I have three of my own (bichòn frisèe, beagle lab mix, and a German shepherd) so I have experience caring for dogs of all size. I am passionate about treating animals with respect and care as if they are family and helping in anyway I can. I am an active duty military member so working with dogs offers a win, win situation for the owners, pets and me. The owners get peace of mind that their furry friend(s) is well taken care of, the pets get my unconditional attention, care and love and I get an opportunity to destress ( by doing drop ins where I feed, pet and play with the dog), and exercise. I can’t wait! I work about 5 minutes away from home so I often stop by throughout the day for bathroom breaks and play time. I also have the ability to work from home. I always treat pets and homes with cars and respect. Timeliness is included in said respect so I will ensure to be on time and prompt.
About: I've always had an animal, whether it be a dog, or a cat or even a gerbil. I get that their family, and I love them all. Just moved to the area, my husband is working full time and I’m doing my masters online. I’m available any time! I have a 4 yr old Persian cream puff cat named Yeti who loves everyone, human and not! I love all animals! I have cared for Yorkies to Great Danes and every size in between. I understand the hard work it takes to make pets feel comfortable. Whatever accommodations need to be made in your home to ensure your pets feel safe & comfortable, I am happy to abide by.
About: We are empty nesters that love our pets and have found it hard to find quality sitters for them. This has led us to open our home to pups that need a place to stay where they can be a part of our family temporarily. We work full-time during the week and are home in the evening and on weekends. My spouse works from home most days. Pets are fed in the morning and let out to play and then are fed in the evening and out for play time. Our backyard is fenced with a six-foot privacy fence. Our pets have full home access when we are home. All pets have access to water all day and are fed twice a day, We crate train our pets and do use crates for our puppy that is learning to be potty trained. All our pets are seen twice a year by our vet and get all recommended vaccines and are on flea and heartworm preventatives.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 20 years for my neighbors, family and friends. Everyone knows they can depend on me to love and care for the ones they love most! I have an open schedule and plenty of time to play, cuddle and spend time with your babies. We can go to the park, play with toys or just cuddle, either way your babies will have fun and be comfortable. I know how important your babies are and will make sure they're safe, comfortable and happy. I am dependable so you know when you are away, the person you depend on will be there.

Immediately i picked up Rosie, i knew she was well cared for. She seemed happy, relaxed, and healthy. Amanda kept me updated and was prompt in responding, she respected Rosie's routine and kept it. I was impressed by how she handled Rosie's anxiety to a new place. ( She left you her paw prints in your couches😭😿 I'm sorry) Amanda is amazing!!! Thank you again.

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 .
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
