“Jackie was attentive and knowledgable, I would book her again in the future. She was trusted to walk my sixty pound husky and seventy pound German shepard. She was even kind enough to write a thorough summary of events that occurred on the hour long walk. My pups also looked great in their photo shoots.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for a very long time. My love for dogs is only increasing the more and more ❤️❤️ I love being active but don’t mind lounging around with an older or less active pup. My hours can be really early or later in the evening for dog walking. I can be pretty flexible! If taking dogs for walks, I will bring water with a bowl (and of course doggie bags!) 👍❤️ I am currently not working this summer, so I will be available most days! I take care of my own cat in the mornings and evenings, and do my best at playing with her for 15-30 min daily to keep her healthy. When walking my friend’s dogs during the hotter parts of the day, I do my best to walk in shaded areas and/or in grass to protect little paws. In your home, I will stick to interacting with your pet: nothing else (like snooping around)! I care for pets in the way that is best for them: do they need to play? Do they need space? I am flexible to what an owner may need for their pet.

“Arden is Wonderful ! Our corgi is thrilled with her and she is super professional, responsive, friendly and loving. Smart and intuitive and knows just what he needs (walk/play etc). We are already rebooking and highly recommend!”

“My little guy had a great walk. I can tell because he is calm now! Reagan took him for a long walk even though it was raining today. I love this service for Biscuit! Thank you Reagan!”


“Sol is amazing with our dogs—we genuinely look forward to his visits. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our dogs get so excited every time he comes by, which says everything. We feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years, I love hanging out with people’s pets especially cats and big dogs! This year my neighbor got a puppy and I was constantly over there helping with potty training and feeding her! I’m currently a college student with a pretty flexible schedule! On weekdays before 11 and after 3 I am free to walk your pups! Weekends will be a little more tricky for me since I am currently doing a 200 hr yoga teacher training. I’m a very high energy person willing to play and walk the distance! with your fur babies! I have two dogs and a cat back at home and if I wasn’t hanging out with my cat I was playing with the dogs!

“Samia is wonderful. Our Charlie is so excited to see her everyday. She’s great at communicating with us about schedule changes, and we can rely on her to take great care of our girl. Thank you Samia - your daily walks make Charlie a happy healthy pup.”
“Arianna has been so great with my dog!! So thankful for her care and attentiveness! My neighbor told me that while Arianna was watching my dog, that she was very attentive with Harlie and made sure she was a good girl with the other dogs, and was watching out for her. So amazing to have a neighbor say as I am new to having a dog walker. So thankful I found Arianna!”

About: I have had my two chihuahuas for 8 years, and have been taking care of them every day since. I have been dog-sitting, plant-sitting, house-sitting for a few years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I am a full time student at TAMUCC and I work for the school but my schedule is very flexible! In my hometown, I have two chihuahuas that I cared for and I cared for many of my friends' pets as well. Currently, I have no pets but I am hoping I can take care of your pets while you need it. I love staying with pets at clients' homes for as long as I can so they don't get lonely. Whether that means cleaning up a little, playing with them, etc.
About: I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.

I offer reliable and loving dogsitting services for your beloved pets. I’ll take care of your babies ! :) Every dog is unique! I'll stick to your pet's daily routine, ensuring they get the food, exercise, and attention they need!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: I’ve dog-sat multiple times and have experience with puppies, but I’m comfortable handling all types of dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your pup is full of energy or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs and routines. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I am a student-athlete at TAMUCC as part of the track and field team, so my schedule will depend on my travel days. Thank you for being understanding. I keep things safe and easy. I always use a secure leash, stay aware of what’s around us, and follow any instructions you leave. I make sure your dog has a fun, calm walk and gets back home safe and happy.
“This is about the third time booking with Crystal and Mike, and I am always satisfied by the care they provide! They are also very quick to respond, making the process very Easy!”

About: I provide more than basic pet sitting—I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I take the time to build trust with every animal, whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to established feeding and walking schedules. I communicate clearly with owners so they always know their pet is safe, happy, and cared for. My goal is for pets to feel secure and loved in their own home, and for owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away. I attend Texas A&M University Corpus Christi and get out of classes early so I can attend to your pets in the middle of the day when you are at your busiest. I respect the home and pace at which dogs like to walk. I also use whatever is provided to make sure the pet feels safe and at home.
About: Ive always enjoyed the little joy animals get when it comes to simple things such as using a high pitch to ask if they want to go on a walk or calling their name. I’m on a babysitting app and I’d love to try interacting with animals since they’re amazing .Animals and humans are different but the responsibility is kind of similar in which I bring. Im a college student so my classes are a little strange that had open gaps which comes with flexibility and just ready to help people throughout my time! I have a cat myself and treat her like my absolute child because animals can also be family members so of course I’ll be treating any animal as my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a preteen. I have experience with temperamental dogs and am not timid regarding any breed! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to geriatric, as well as dogs with medical conditions, such as epilepsy and heartworm. Dogs seem to warm to me easily! I am currently unemployed and am looking to fill my day with some four-legged company while my wife is at work! I have plenty of time for your pets! I have some experience with dogs of various temperaments and know how important it is to provide adequate supervision of pets, even within their own home or yard.

Leah watched our pups during our wedding weekend. She did an absolute amazing, genuine job & I was not worried or stressed ONCE about the special care of my doggies. One of our pups has special care requirements and Leah did such a delicate job with him. She is definitely our go to caretaker for our doggies!!

Lillian is the BEST! We have used her many times for boarding and dog walking and she provides 10 out of 10 service. Ollie loves her and is super excited when he gets to see her. She also is great at accommodating late bookings. You will love her! Thank you Lillian
