About: With over 15 years of experience in private pet sitting and personal dog ownership, I have a deep love and sense of consideration for animals. For two years, I have been dedicated to providing high-quality care through Rover, building a reputation for reliability and attentiveness. Pet care is my only commitment, so I am available for those that need more than the technical pet sitting: drop ins through the day and stay overnight. I have stayed with elder pups who could not be alone longer than 1-2 hours. So, I can be as available within my bookings as much as I am needed. Outside of pet care, I lead a quiet, home-centered lifestyle. This translates perfectly into attentive overnight care for animals that thrive in a peaceful, calm environment. Pet care is my sole professional commitment, allowing me to be fully present for your companions. My long-term goals include finding community through pet-related events, pursuing volunteer opportunities, and eventually establishing my own dedicated care business. Everyone receives specialized interaction suited to their personality and energy level: For dogs, activities often include decompression/sniff walks, backyard play, and relaxed companionship like porch sitting or quiet couch time. High-energy pets receive engaging play and mental stimulation, while seniors or sensitive dogs receive slower, confidence-building interaction and low-stress movement. For cats, there could be wand play, chase-and-capture sessions, window or bird watch enrichment, brushing (if enjoyed), and calm social time on their terms. Between activities, I prioritize rest and normal household rhythm so no one is overstimulated or unsettled. I also maintain the cleanliness of pet areas and keep the home secure and lived-in (for overnights/extended stays).
“Haylee was great about communicating timing and making sure that my dogs were taken care of during my long days at work. Very respectful of my house and made me feel better during my work days knowing my dogs were being taken care of.”


About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and attentive sitter who truly enjoys being around animals and creating a safe, calm environment for them. I currently stay at home with my baby, which means your pet will get lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, they’ll never feel alone or neglected. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a gentle, hypoallergenic dog at home who is very friendly and well behaved, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and routines, whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a peaceful place to relax. What you can expect from me: • A clean, safe, and pet-friendly home • Lots of attention, affection, and supervision • Flexibility with scheduling when possible • Clear communication and updates while you’re away I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make their time with me as stress-free and happy as possible. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I’m home most of the day with my baby. I’m able to provide consistent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone and are always supervised. I follow a calm, structured routine and can easily adjust to your pet’s specific needs, energy level, and schedule. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, not something I squeeze in. I provide a safe, calm, and fully supervised environment for every pet. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space and only take a small number of dogs so each one gets plenty of attention. I’m careful with introductions and always prioritize safety and comfort. Pets get regular potty breaks, playtime, and a routine that matches what they’re used to at home. I’m happy to follow any feeding schedules, crate routines, or special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things familiar and stress free.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior dogs that need extra patience and attention. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I focus on safety, structure, and making pets feel secure. I’m very reliable, communicative, and I send regular updates and photos so owners always know their pet is doing well. I’m also active, so dogs that need long walks, playtime, or exercise will get plenty of activity.

I also make time for play, exercise, and updates to owners, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Pet care isn’t just something I fit in—it’s something I intentionally make time for and prioritize. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while following all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure to prevent any safety risks. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and a structured routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balch Springs
Dania has been so great this week with our baby Lucy. We lost our other fur baby last weekend and all been taking it hard, when we had to return to work we needed a sitter for our babygirl towards the end of the week. We booked with Dania and are so grateful we did. ❤️ Dania is so sweet, loving and patient with Lucy it’s means a lot especially during this time that she been hurting for her brother. She has kept her happy, safe and nurtured. She has kept us updated and asked all the questions to make sure we were ok as well during her in home visits. Lucy is a shy girl and she has warmed up to Dania’s loving vibe. She played outside with her and kept her happy. We will always check for her availability and trust her with the safety of our baby girl. Thank you Dania for you services!❤️🐾🫂

Excellent drop-in visits! Communication was consistent, and I received detailed updates and photos each time. Max was well cared for, given plenty of attention and love. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such reliable and caring hands. I highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Kavianna was a life saver for me! She was able to care for my fur baby (Ru!) on extremely short notice and she had the best communication. I instantly knew Ru! was in good hands. She kept me updated every step of the way so I felt at ease. I highly recommend Kavianna because she provides 5 STAR service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
