“The most caring dog sitter I’ve EVER used! My dog got sick (the runs) during my short trip and Sabrina went above and beyond to try and help my dog. She truly loves animals and I’d recommend her to anyone”

“Kyra was amazing and did so well with my babies! I got to enjoy my vacation without a single worry about them. She was thorough and made sure to get all the information she needed to take good care of my cats. I definitely recommend her and will be hiring her again 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.”
“Amber was kind and took care of my cat when I was away. She alerted me when the auto-feeder was over-feeding and also gave my chicken treats even though it wasn’t part of the arrangement. She brought my packages in too and offered to visit my cat on the day I was scheduled to return if there was a change in my travel plans. I would recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve cared for my own pets and have helped family and neighbors with theirs for years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I truly treat every animal like my own. I’m currently working part time and looking to get in some extra furry friend hours. In the early mornings or after 6pm works best for me I have a fully fenced yard and an extra large crate if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood so walks will always be in a good environment.
About: What sets me apart is my attentive, reliable care and ability to adapt to each pet’s needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and providing patient, loving care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable. As a student with set class times, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I plan my days around my classes, which allows me to reliably schedule walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining a consistent and dependable care schedule. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. This includes feeding on schedule, regular walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and enrichment. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always communicate updates to ensure pet parents feel confident and informed.
About: I haven't officially watched pets, but I was a nanny for many years, so I've got experience with caretaking . I've watched pets for families I've worked for and I have owned 2 dogs myself, and 2 cats. I am an animal lover, I have been vegan for 6 years, that's how much I love them!!! I am in great shape, so I can handle energetic dogs, and long walks if needed. I am that person that cant see an anima without wanting to give it lots of love. I am not in a position where I can get my own pet, so I am looking for an outlet to my extra love an affection to give an animal. I am also very reliable and flexible. I’m in asynchronous online school, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule. Because I don’t have set class times, I can plan my day around pet visits, walks, and house-sitting responsibilities. This allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening check-ins, as well as longer visits when needed. Since I won’t be hosting pets in my own home, I focus entirely on providing attentive care in clients’ homes and sticking closely to each pet’s established routine. et care is a central part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their normal schedule—feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medications, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I keep spaces clean, monitor for changes in behavior or appetite, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m careful about home security, respect household rules, and always send regular updates and photos. Because I’m not boarding pets in my own home, my attention is fully on maintaining consistency and providing reliable, in-home care tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: (Weekday availability only after 6:30pm) Growing up, I had numerous cats and dogs— the dogs I potty trained and taught basic tricks such as sit. The past two years I have been much more in to reptiles, as I foster with a rescue. I’m currently a highschool senior involved in theater trying to save up for college, but I’m always available after 6pm on weekdays and all day weekends! I’m extremely attentive, having been diagnosed with OCD, and so I ensure everything is correct and well with any animals under my care. Their wellbeing and your happiness is my number one priority.
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 twice a week, and I have evening classes twice a week. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, I am always flexible! Just let me know! 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 will put all my love and care into them!
About: I have grown up with animals for most of my life! I currently have a Pit Bull and have had experience with dogs of all sizes. I will always maintain a calm environment for your pets and give them the care they need. I love going on runs and would love to run with yours if needed! I understand that pets are family and will treat them as such! I am currently a full time student at UTA. My schedule is free and am willing to take your babies on long walks and give them the care they need. Please let me know any accommodations your pets need and I will ensure to adjust and take care of them to the best of my ability!

Shelly was an absolute lifesaver! She took such wonderful care of Karter. It was a huge relief to receive so many photo updates throughout her stay..it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly thorough, very kind, and it was obvious from the start that Karter absolutely loved her. I couldn't recommend her enough!
I have never felt so safe and secure leaving my cats. They are my joy, and it's always nerve wracking to leave them when I go on trips. One of them is pretty old so I was extra nervous. Sabrina quickly set me at ease. She kept me updated on details I needed to know, handled the cats and the homes admirably, and went above and beyond letting me know if something weird was happening. Sabrina had excellent communication, she treated the cats very well, and I can see they are less nervous this trip than they have been before. 10/10.
Sarah was AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of Rogelia and Mora. She and her kids were incredibly kind, loving, and patient with them. I felt completely at ease knowing my girls were in such good hands. They were treated like part of the family, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with Sarah again. Highly recommended!
Jacqueline was amazing! She went above and beyond with taking care of our doggies by bringing them treats and toys and showing them so much love. Jacqueline was also very communicative with us by always informing us of anything happening and sending pictures. There were instances when one of our dogs had an accident and she cleaned it up. I can’t recommend her enough!!
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!
Elaine is so trustful and great at communication. She made me have such peace of mind with leaving my two cats for a whole week. My cats aren’t the most social and get a little fiesty and she handled it all so caring. I would most definitely recommend her for any of your animals.
