“Marjorie is amazing with her genuine care and quality time she spends with our fur babies as well as doing what she says she will. Which we should shout from the rafters these days. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!”
“Ciera is great! She’s patient with my moody doberman and doesn’t mind my mouthy schnauzer. It had been a while between visits, and Ziva was clearly excited to see her again! Thank you again for the specialized care you gave my pups!”
“Christa did an amazing job with both my guinea pigs. She followed my instructions and everything was cleaned and organized when I got back. She left the sweetest notes and took pictures of them so I know they were cared for. I’m really happy with how everything turned out”
“Maddilynn was absolutely amazing in taking care of my cat Turkey. She was prompt, communicative, and attentive to all of my requests. I’m pretty sure Turkey likes her more than me now! I highly recommend Maddilynn!!”
“Zoe did awesome with my two dogs and came through on a short notice. They enjoyed her company and let her get far better pictures of them than I have been able to! She will take good care of your pets and is trustworthy!”
“So incredibly grateful for these two! They were able to check on my puppy last minute no problem! They sent me lots of photos, communicated well and spent lots of time playing with my fur baby! Forever thankful for them!”
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.
“Taylor has been great for drop in visits with our puppy! Attends to all of her needs, takes her for a walk, keeps us updated at needed, and makes sure we have a happy pup. Will definitely use Taylor again in the future and refer her to others!”
About: If it's love they want, I give and if it's to be left alone, I can control myself, I promise! I do not have training experience but I have cared for many animals in need of special care in the past. I am a mother of three and they are all in school most part of the day. Activities and school events will arise, however, I will never let it interfere with my responsibilities. Should I care for your fur babies at my home and leave for drop off and pick ups, I am more than happy to use my small traveling kennels or use theirs if traveling is safe for them. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule has more so become a routine rather anything else and so should there be a minor change I will give notice with ample time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if needed but, at the moment, I do only have one small kennel and a small traveling kennel as well. I do not invite your pets to get on furniture but I also do not turn away cuddles and snuggle, and kisses on any piece of furniture. My oldest is 15, followed by middle child who is 11. My youngest is 4 but he is the most loving and gentle kid because he has grown with Chihuahuas and has learned that not all pets should be played with in any way not invited.
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.
About: I have years of experience raising my own dog since she was a puppy and volunteering at animal shelters. This hands-on experience has equipped me to handle various dog temperaments and provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. While I’ve trained my own dog, I understand the patience and dedication it takes to help pets learn and grow. With my active lifestyle, your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise and outdoor adventures with me! As a medical student, my schedule is busier during the day, but I am more available during weekends and evenings. I’ve been raising my dog since she was 4 months old and have experience volunteering at animal shelters, so I am comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments. I also have a cat, which adds to my experience with pets and their unique needs. I live in an apartment with lots of walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and exploration. I’m very active, so your dog will enjoy ample outdoor time. I’ve been raising my dog since she was a puppy and have experience volunteering at animal shelters, allowing me to accommodate any specific needs your pets may have. I’m committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all animals in my care.
“We greatly appreciate everything that Daniel did for our cats while we were away. He took great care of them and sent us photos every day so we knew they were ok. We would definitely use Daniel 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.
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.
“Emily was excellent! We could not have asked for a better dogsitter - she met with us to go over everything before we went out of town, was extremely responsive, and sent us tons of updates throughout the week. She treated both our dog and cat like they were her own. This was our first time using Rover, and I was hesitant at first to have someone from the internet watch our pets, but Emily provided the best service and completely eliminated that feeling! The best part was getting to travel with peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. I highly recommend Emily!”
“On time. Professional. Communicative. Friendly. Efficient. And Knowledgable ! I love that she works at a vet clinic so has ability & knowledge to provide care and assistance for my elderly baby with medical issues! I’ll def rebook in future!!!”
