“Heather was awesome and so helpful! Heather checked on Kona's food, scooped her litter and gave her lots of treats and cuddles. From all of the great pictures that she sent us, we could tell Kona loved all of the attention, scratchies and cuddles that she got. We will DEFINITELY be using her again!! ??”


“Terresa did a great job with the cats again! She made sure Dochi got his medication and also set up treat puzzles so they would get some enrichment between visits.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet experience, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I’m the go-to person for friends and family when they need help with their pets, and I’m always happy to step in with love, patience, and reliability. I share my home with one small dog with a big personality who loves playing with new friends and welcoming visiting pups. I work from home and my flexible schedule allows us to enjoy neighborhood strolls and park adventures, and I’d be thrilled to include your dog in our outings—or keep things calm and cozy if that’s more their style. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience includes working with a local rescue group and fostering dogs from all backgrounds. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from bottle-fed newborns to senior dogs with complex medical issues. I’m attentive, compassionate, and committed to learning each pet’s unique routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Whether your dog is here for adventure, snuggles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure their time with me feels like a home away from home. 🐾💛 I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and naps—so they feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while in my care. I care for pets either in your home or mine, and I make it feel easy, fun, and stress-free for everyone. With experience from tiny puppies to wise seniors (and everything in between), I know how to create a safe, happy, and loving environment where your furry friends feel right at home.
“Olivia is great! You can tell she really cares about your pet. She has great communication and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter.”

“Elizabeth was so sweet with our pups while we were out of town. We know that they were in good hands with her, and will definitely choose Elizabeth to care for our dogs again in the future. :)”

“Wendy was very attentive and loving with our indoor kitty and outdoor kitty. She communicated with us when she was going to be late one day and asked if that was okay. Our kitties took a liking to her and they are very discerning - so it’s clear she is a true cat lover!”


About: I have helped my family take care of animals since I was twelve years old. We foster animals through the Humane Society of North Texas and have helped numerous animals recover, grow, and get adopted. I have fostered with my family for close to nine years now, which includes experience with bottle babies (kittens and puppies), full grown dogs and cats, and even a pregnant guinea pig. I have taken care of neighbor's pets before and my family's dogs as well. I am a college student off for summer break and have plenty of extra time to look after precious animals! I will be available to provide care for any pet(s). I will stick to whatever routine you have set for your animal(s). Whether they are indoor/outdoor or need to be crated and let out occasionally, I am flexible. I am also comfortable with animals of any size, and I have dealt with a lot of dogs with varying temperaments.
“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”

“Dalya was awesome! Very patient with our kitty who took a couple of days to stop hiding under the couch. She was also prompt every day and was great communicating with us. She also helped bring in packages and adjusted the temp. in the house for us.”

“Suzanne was an awesome choice to watch our dogs while we were gone. We have a nervous dog who needs a little extra help and Susanne worked with her and was able to gain her trust before we got back. They were very well cared for while we were gone and will definitely continue to use her for future trips.”

“Rylee watched our two cats while we were gone for the holidays and did a great job watching over them! She was very communicative and sent pictures for each of her visits, I’d definitely recommend her and will rebook her in the future!”

“Jill did a wonderful job taking care of my needy cat while I was away. She was kind, reassuring, and my cat welcomed her immediately. It great knowing Jill was taking such wonderful care of my cat while I was away. I would recommend Jill and will use her again.”

“Amber was incredibly personable, communicative, and thoughtful. She took such great care of my two cats and made me feel like she cared about them as if they were her own! Would strongly recommend her services for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“Ninabelle was great! She really saved the day by coming in last minute and was very flexible. My cats loved her and she gave fantastic updates throughout. Highly recommend!”

Arlington Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
She sent tons of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even took the time to check on my stray kitties and send pictures of them, despite not needing to. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treated my babies like her own. She was kind, caring, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! ❤️🐾

Jill reached out promptly after receiving my message to schedule a meet-and-greet with my fur babies, which I truly appreciated. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. She maintained consistent communication and provided regular updates while I was away, giving me complete peace of mind and allowing me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. I will absolutely be booking her again!

Rieko is wonderful!!! She is attentive, communicative, quick to respond, reliable, responsible, and amazing with my kitties. She is clearly experienced with animals and an animal lover. My kitties were very well taken care of. I give Rieko my highest recommendation and will absolutely have her cat sit again! ❤️
