About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.
“Denim took great care of my senior pet. She’s trustworthy and dependable. The updates and photos were very thorough and I think my dog will miss her. Would definitely call on her in the future.”

“Tereza did excellent in dropping by to care for my shiba inu pancake while I was out at NYC for vacation. Despite being new to rover, she took care of him real well and pancake got along with her.”

“Sabrina took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated with photos and messages every day. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. Currently I have 3 dogs of my own who don’t live with me. I have taken care of newborn puppies up until 8 weeks. I have experience with a variety of different pet breeds. Your pets are in good hands! I have a part-time job and am a full time student at college but I have plenty of time to go for walks or to pets sit at any home and will be most available during the months of May-August! In my apartment complex we have a special dog friendly area that is fenced. There will be me and another resident in the apartment and can expect to be home the majority of the day. I have no problem answering any questions or concern!

About: I've been taking care of pets since 2022! I am flexible when it comes to drop-in visits and dog-walking! I have cared for my neighbors' and family friends' pets as I care for my own! Looking forward to working with you! I am currently a graduate student at UT Arlington in their social work program. I intern at Methodist Dallas Medical Center three times a week, and I work part time the rest of the week/ weekend. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, just let me know! I am very flexible! I have a Belgian Malinois (Star) that I walk often because of her endless energy! I enjoy playing with her whenever I am home from my internship or class. Not only will I conduct the necessities for your pet, but I will also make sure I put all my love and care into them!
“Winta was extraordinary with my babies. I knew she was the right fit when Jaybee connected with her day one! She provided excellent care and very attentive with them. She taught me something new about my own babies!lol She kept me updated and always made sure I was aware of anything that happened. I told her she is like family now, because we really don’t trust too many!!lol I would highly recommend her to anyone and would be definitely be using her services again!”


“We couldn't be more grateful for Kyra’s attentive and caring service. During an unexpected family emergency, we were unable to return home as planned. Kyra not only ensured our cats were fed and comfortable, but she also went above and beyond. When she noticed one of our cats having difficulty with the litter box, she promptly informed us, allowing us to arrange for a vet visit when we return home. Her observant and proactive approach was a huge relief. We highly recommend Kyra to any pet owner who wants peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in capable and compassionate hands.”

“Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my three cats. Prior to the scheduled drop-ins, she took it upon herself to do a meet and greet with my cats, which was very important to us. For the scheduled visits, she dropped in twice a day for five days, followed all instructions perfectly, and made sure Gary, Sandy, and Mindy were fed properly, played with, and comfortable while we were out of town. She sent updates and photos during every visit, which I appreciated so much. I highly recommend and will definitely book with her again! ☺️”

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of animals from turtles to pit bulls with 11 puppies, as well as old dogs with fears or diseases who need special medicine. I am currently working part time and I’m still in school. I would be available 1-5 on weekdays and whatever times we can work out on weekends I do live in an apartment so my services would either have to be dog walking or house sitting at the clients house. I care for animals like I would care for a child: making sure they are fed, cleaned, comfortable, and frequent bathroom breaks.

About: I have a beautiful female Dalmatian that is 5 years old. I have an adorable male Pitbull boxer mix that is 5 years old. I also have a crazy indoor orange cat and a black outdoor cat. Outside of my fur babies, I’ve taken care of my friend’s and teammates dogs and cats. In the process of watching them, I taught their dogs many fun tricks. I did train my dogs myself on how to walk off leash and multiple cool tricks as well. I can teach your dogs some fun tricks in the process of watching them! I’ve watched all ages of dogs and cats for my friends. From puppies and kittens to senior pets. I am pretty free most days. I have a stay at home job as a manager for my dad’s company. Therefore, I have plenty of free time to check on the fur babies because I can plan my workday to accommodate what needs to be done. I do coach kids in AAU basketball. So sometimes on the weekends I may be gone for several hours coaching, but I will still be able to go check on them in between games. My two dogs are very friendly and loves to go on walks. If you want your dog to have company on a walk or play dates. I can bring my dogs as well.

“Kelsey is really fantastic! She actually plays with my dogs during the drop-in (unlike other sitters I've had), even though they're old and grumpy sometimes, and if they're not in the mood to play, she at least talks to them and pets them. She's super-punctual and overall a lovely person.”
“Thank you Shelly she is the best! So easy and flexible to work with. We always have travel issues and you always come through for us!! I highly recommend you to anyone who is ever looking for a Pet sitter while they go away! Shelly will make your pets feel at ease while you are gone- no doubt.”

About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.
About: I've been to several dog trainings with my own pups and I believe I've learned a lot from them. I've owned and dogsat all types of dogs for my family and my friends. From the fear reactive to the sweet couch potatoes. I'd love to spend some quality time with your fur babies while you are away! I work a full time job Monday - Friday but I am available all day or night during the weekends! If you are interested in services during the weekday I will be available after 6pm most days. I have a chain link fenced yard with extenders for the jumpers. A big yard for your pups to run around and play. I have 3 dogs at my house to play with your pups or I can keep them separately with baby gates. I also have 2 large kennels if you prefer for me to use. I do like the small gates better for more wiggle room but I will accommodate to what you feel comfortable with. For drop ins I would love to play fetch or tug with your pups and/or feed and give them what they may need.

Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sabrina was WONDERFUL! She was so good with our cats (and our turtle!). She always provided a daily status and photos of all of our animals. The cats took to her right away. She followed instructions perfectly. Everything was in perfect order when we got home the next week, and the kitties seemed very happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Sabrina to care for your pets! You won't be disappointed!

Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

Shelly was amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to trust our pup with when we went out of town. Shelley was reliable and communicated early and often she even sent pictures along the way, so we knew our guy was well cared for it is never easy, leaving your dog behind. Shelley gave us the highest confidence that our guy was in good hands.

We had an emergency sitting situation and Alondra responded the same day—an absolute lifesaver! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was on time for every visit, treated our furbabies with so much love and care, and was respectful and thoughtful with our home. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
