About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 8 years old. I enjoy walking, bathing, and even grooming pets! I have plenty of experience from new born puppies to senior pups. I currently have a part-time job elsewhere and I do rover on the side! I always have plenty of time to watch, walk, and care for pups! Communication is key! I will always provide a safe and trusting environment where I can, and always take the extra precautions to ensure that safety!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Have cared for injured and premature animals in the past. From dogs with broken legs, just born kittens and hurt fletchlings. I have an interesting, ever changing work schedule I have to work around, but I am extremely flexible and committed around it, even for hours late at night. I care for all animals with kindness and patience. Will clean up after animals and make sure any changes in schedule/events are reported as soon possible.

“Taylor came and stayed with our babies for the weekend, I’m so appreciate that she actually stayed with them for the majority of the time as they are Velcro dogs and love to cuddle up with people. You couldn’t tell she was in our home, she left it neat and tidy even though we told her to make herself at home and to help herself to whatever she needs. We will definitely use Taylor again!!!”


About: Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care, having owned and cared for a diverse range of animals, including newborn puppies and kittens, elderly and sick pets, as well as various breeds of dogs and cats. I have flexible availability to provide top-notch care for your pets, ensuring their needs and schedules are met with professionalism and compassion. No pet to big no pet to small As a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, I offer a secure metal fenced-in backyard where your fur babies can play safely. My affectionate dog and cat will keep your pets company. I am also happy to accommodate any special needs or requirements your pets may have.

About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I was 12, started actually pet sitting at 15. Whether it’s energetic babies who need training & playtime or older pets who need a slower pace and a little extra care, I’m comfortable with it all. I always treat every pet like they’re my own! Im working part-time over the summer as a bartender so I will have lots of time & availability to take care of your pets! I’ll be in town majority of the time & will update my profile when I am away I have an unfenced yard but I am very active & will take your pets out for walks & potty religiously! There is one cat in my townhouse but he is very sweet and has gotten along with everyone he’s met :)

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, a wide variety of animals, I have owned all of these animals and they have all thrived under my care. I currently have no other commitments, I can fit pet care very easily into my day to day, because I am a student it means that I have summer off and therefore can easily fit pet care into my routines. I have a fenced yard, but no pets anymore, I do watch a lot of my friends animals as well in my house, but I have had pets my whole life up until about 4 months ago.

About: First time booking? Use my promo code for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/zoeh29140 I am a respectful and dependable pet sitter who is looking forward to spoiling and taking care of your pets. I’ve used Rover before, so I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, but I’ll treat your furry friend like my own giving them the love, care, and attention they deserve. 100% of clients receive daily photo updates of their fur babies! I recently graduated from Texas tech with my bachelors in biology and a minor in chemistry. I currently work at one of the hospitals here in town. Although my career involves caring for humans my love for animals runs very deep and my previous academic track was pre-vet, so I am very knowledgeable on pet care needs. I have always grown up around animals and I take pride in caring for them. I have had a few dogs and cats of my own which you can find in a couple of my photos on my profile and treat them like they are my children. I would do the same for any other animal I take care of. I have a lot of experience with older dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I have bottle fed kittens that I rescued less than 2 weeks old. I also currently care for a cat colony that lives on my street consisting of around 10 different cats. I’ve had animals who needed special diets, medications, were blind, needed insulin shots and some who needed to be exercised daily. I also have the magic touch when it comes to putting pets to sleep with belly rubs! I can help train/feed/bathe or check in on any animal who requires my care. Taking care of your pet is not seen as a job for me, it is simply something I look forward to and love to do. I am free most week days. I do work the weekends but may be able to still drop in to check on your pet depending on the hours I work. Please feel free to check with me about my availability and any other special circumstances that you’d like to address. Communication is super important to me so that I can provide the best care possible for your fur baby. I have a big fenced yard where dogs can run free and play with toys. I can accommodate all breeds as I have a fairly big living area for them to roam but can crate them if needed. While taking care of pets at the clients residence, I always make sure to clean up any messes their pets may have made and give them fresh food/water. As my parents would always say, it’s best to leave any home or area cleaner than you found it. Play time is also always a must.

About: I grew up with pets and now have had a dog of my own for the last 6 years. I have also taken care of many of my friend’s dogs (including senior pups). I am excited for the opportunity to help in caring for your pet as well! They’ll absolutely be treated like family. I am currently working part time. I have tons of availability and flexibility at this time. I am happy to work around various schedules as well. I am familiar with various crate and leash systems. I have also worked with various breeds and personalities. I will ensure that I will do my best each visit to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

“I have cameras throughout my house and so I occasionally was able to look in on Owen. I could see that he genuinely cared about my cats and gave them lots of attention. I gave him instructions about the house, and he followed them to the T. I would definitely hire him again.”


About: I've had many dogs ranging from senior to puppy and love them all with their different quirks. All animals require something different and am willing to jump in to whatever they need! I am currently a freshman at TTU in the Pre-veterinary track. Outside of my set class schedule I am free to whenever you need me! I love walking dogs and playing with them. Whatever you ask such as crating I am more than willing to take care of. I do not mind I will listen to what your pet needs and make it happen.

“Emily was a fantastic sitter for me and my dogs! She is utterly and totally reliable, even to the point of driving in the freezing temperatures this winter to make sure that my dogs were ok. She spent plenty of time on her visits to socialize with them as well, and she was very communicative with me on top of all that. I felt like I and my dogs were in great hands. I would have her sit for me again with thinking twice, Emily was great!!”



About: I have worked at an animal hospital since 2022, where I was responsible for taking care of animals that had boarded, which included tasks like walking them, cleaning their cages/runs, feeding them, bathing and making sure they weren’t too stressed. It could fit pretty easily into my schedule as I adapt pretty well to different circumstances so if I needed to be at a place at an unusual time I wouldn’t mind. I would respect the owners home and clean up any accident that their pet could have made and take out their animal based on how often they needed to be taken out and make sure they weren’t displaying any abnormal behavior.
