“Sue was great with our two fur babies. I was so nervous to leave them for the first time since we moved here. Sue sent pictures everyday of my babies. She stayed overnight which was great since my dogs are older. We will definitely book with her again.”


“Allyson is very professional and wonderfully warm. She cared for, and was engaged with my two cats. She also took excellent care of me by keeping in touch, sending photos. Our home is spotless. The cats certainly miss her and I am grateful for her!”


“Gretta was wonderful and did a great job checking in on my babies while I was out of town! She communicated very well, was always timely, and kept me updated as needed. I would definitely recommend her to care for your animals!”


About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

“Jacie’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and regular communication (with pictures!) allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our canine and feathered family were in attentive hands! Evident by how much they loved her and followed her around! In addition, she was a considerate and helpful house guest and anticipated tasks I had not thought to mention. Jacie is an absolute Gem!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

“Claire was so sweet and made me feel super comfortable leaving my boys with her. She sent me photos and videos daily and was very flexible for when I needed her. She was even very understanding when there was a hiccup her first night with my apartment complex and never once complained about the whole situation. I would definitely love to have her take care of my boys again!”


About: Personally I have 2 of my own dogs, I have experience with pregnancy and birth! Multiple breed care small and large! High energy, low energy, whatever needs to be done! I also have experience with medication distributions. I’m currently working part-time and have free time in my day-to-day schedule and I love animals and to help others! I am also available for overnights! In my clients home, I keep the house neat and tidy and pick up any messes made by your fur baby! I keep a watchful eye on them and make sure they are getting what they need plus a few treats!

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!

“Lindsey was so accommodating, communicative, and friendly. She was great to work with and made me feel so comfortable leaving my two pups. She kept me updated all weekend and eased every fear I had. She sent regular pics and asked questions when needed.”


“Ashley is a very sweet gal who appears to love animals. I was disappointed that over our four day absence I only received one photo, and no additional texts/emails. I haven't heard from her about how it went with the dogs either. She was pretty awesome in the house, no messes, not even extra garbage! Bed made and bathroom is really great. The dogs were all super excited when we arrived home, they seemed happy and I don't know if it was just because they missed us so much or if they lacked human interaction for 4 days. Again, I only have one picture for one morning. I was really hopeful for this service, but honestly, I could have had a neighbor attend to my dogs while we were gone, for less $$ and a lot more attention (i suspect) I'm on the fence, because of course my doggies are ok, and super happy that I'm home, but I was hoping for them to have a little more attention during our absence, by evidence of photos. Again, our house was perfect when we came home (there is a pee spot in our living room, on the hardwood, hard to see) So it's hard for me to rate this dog sitter. I gave her a four, but honestly, if I hired her again I would demand multiple photos per day and interaction with me via text, as to how the encounter is going. Again, this gal was super sweet, left my house completely in order, my dogs are happy and healthy. I probably did not communicate to her that I needed that kind of interaction, but I thought (assumed) that it was part of the transaction.”


“Alexander was a truly wonderful housesitter and a rare gem to find. He followed all instructions perfectly, stayed longer than requested to ensure Echo wasn’t left alone too long, kept the house spotless, and was flexible with a last-minute schedule change. I couldn’t have asked for better—I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Alexander!”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.

“Kimberly did an excellent job of house sitting our 3 furbabies. She is very pet friendly and loves them as if they were her own. Kimberly maintained excellent, prompt and professional daily communications with us. Kimberly followed all the instructions given to her at a high level of detail and asked questions if needed. Kimberly took excellent care and was very attentive to our furbabies needs during severe thunderstorms. Kimberly is a very professional, caring, respectful, loving person. We will definitely have Kimberly house sit our furbabies again. We highly recommend Kimberly for caring and sitting for your pets.”


About: Hello! I would love to drop in, spend the weekend, or take your sweet pet on walks. I lost my “soul dog” and very best friend in September 2023 and I want nothing more than to fill my now empty house with your family’s best friend to honor her and continue to be able to care for and love other animals. I also volunteer at Pets Fur People and SPCA in Tyler to make a difference in the lives of each pet I come across whether that’s showing them love they’ve never known or finding the perfect family for a pet to go home to. I know how your pet is a part of your family and I would absolutely treat yours as I treated my own. With lots and lots of love, treats, and fun! I lived with a friend for three years who owned a pet sitting/walking service in California and always loved jumping in to help out. So I have a lot of experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes and ages. My passion for animals began as a child with family pets and increased as I got older and got pets of my own. I can not wait to meet and fall in love with yours too! -Mallory My work schedule is flexible in that I don’t work everyday so I am home during those times. In my free time, I want to love on animals and give other families peace of mind when they can’t be with their furry member of the family! All my love and attention goes to your fur babies! Pets in my care will receive one-on-one time with me and are allowed on furniture for snuggles (if allowed by owner). If I am having to work, I’m usually gone 3-6 hours at the most. I do not allow any pets outside on their own as I like to be sure and keep an eye on their potty habits as well as any escape artists. Their safety and happiness is my top priority!

Bascom pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am so grateful for Elizabeth taking the last minute booking! I had a sitter who wasn’t a good fit for us and Elizabeth stepped in and took excellent care of Thor, Koby, and Koda. I was definitely relaxed once I knew that she was taking care of them. Thank you so much to Elizabeth for taking exceptional care of my babies and to the rover staff for helping me find her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. ❤️🐾
