“Dan is punctual, easy-going, and clearly a dog person. Our pooch can be a bit sensitive when meeting new people, but he warmed up to Dan almost immediately, we could tell because right away he sensed that Dan’s a “safe, good human”. Great communication, happy disposition, professional. Thank you Dan! We’ll definitely be asking to book you again!”

About: Hello Texas! I am a La Vernia area Rover contractor. I can service La Vernia, New Berlin, Marion, Adkins, and Sutherland Springs area, and possibly into Seguin or McQueeney. Just ask! 😊 I have a ton of special needs dog and cat experience Just let me know what you need! I'm excited to be here. As you can see from my Iowa reviews I was well liked and had several repeat clients. I will go out of my way to accommodate. I have also had a several dozen clients in Texas since starting here. Rover doesn't always give you an accurate number if there are multiple visits, mulitple animals, cats only, holidays, etc. I will adjust it! *I also do cat care: rates will depend on the number of cats, the number of days, and if there is a dog also. I will give each person a custom rate based on these. House sitting for cats only isn't an option, I will give you a custom cat visit rate (let's face it, they don't need me there all night!) : ) You can be assured you will always get a very reasonable rate. ABOUT ME: A have a lifetime of pet care experience. I grew up with cats and dogs and have had both as an adult (so that is a lot of pet years. 174 in dog years, I think). I have had two different seniors with special needs (one is with me currently). I love them all! My pets are members of my family and I treat them as such. I will do the same for yours. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, special needs, med administration, etc. Kitty will get love too! If I am house sitting or doing drop in visits while you are away, I can also take care of trash/recycling day, plants, mail. Just ask! Part of the reason we moved was so I could rescue animals. So far, just in Texas, we have rescued 120 dogs, cats, cows, and goats. 30 of the dogs and cats have gone on to be adopted in the Pacific NW and are loving their new lives. 😍 I can accommodate preparing/feeding their special diets if you have them on one (raw food, homemade dog food, etc). Any other questions? Please just ask! Leaving your pets can be hard. My goal is to make that easier for you! I also have a farm sanctuary and we have rescued dogs, cats, cows, goats, hens, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My hours are flexible and animals are my whole life! I am not currently taking animals in my home as I am full with fosters! At your home, I will spend time playing and/or walking on visits depending on client wishes when visiting their home for check-ins or dog walking. I am able to handle all size dogs and multiple dogs. I am able to handle medication administration and various medical procedures. I love cats just as much as I love dogs!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

I offer flexible availability to meet your pet’s needs, including daytime visits, drop-ins, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays with advance notice. I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring your pet receives dependable care and attention. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a lifelong pet owner with two senior dogs and two cats of my own, I understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I provide a secure, loving environment, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: I have grown up around all kinds of dogs, from chihuahuas to house hippos. I am always determined to win over a dog’s trust and affection. I’m a college student with a lot of time on her hands. Most of my classes are online this semester so I have a very flexible schedule. I will always respect your dog’s boundaries and I’ll do my best to ensure their safety. I’m very thorough and detail oriented so any rules you set will be followed to a T.

About: Hi, my name is Ishel! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have 26 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving baths, feeding them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have three dogs of my own who are on a regular schedule and are very well trained, so I’m already used to keeping up with daily routines and taking care of multiple pets. I work 1–2 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to be home and give the pets in my care plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are in a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs, including puppies and dogs with different personalities and energy levels.

About: I've cared for pets most of my life. Everything from kittens and cats, to playful puppies and senior dogs who need extra TLC. Friends and family often rely on me when they go out of town because they know I treat every pet like my own. I have experience with feeding routines, giving medications, long walks, and just being a calming, loving presence. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Right now, I have a very open and flexible schedule, which means I can give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I’m home and available to meet their needs. Since I’m not balancing another job, I can focus fully on your pet and keep you updated with how they're doing. I prefer caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime or medications, so things stay familiar while you're away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and company, especially if they’re used to having someone around. While staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and tidy. I’ll also keep you updated regularly with photos and notes, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

About: Animals ranging from Sugar Gliders to cats and dogs to cows have been a part of my life since before I could walk. I used to foster medical case kittens when I lived in Georgia to increase their chances of being adopted into their furever homes I currently work part time, so I can love on your furbabies every day except for tuesdays and wednesdays until after 3 PM. Unfortunately, my home is not pet friendly, but I would love to come to your home and make friends with your animals. I am well-versed in most types of dogs- large and small, timid and excited that I exist, aggressive and love spongey. I have experience with pets working on their potty training and fur babies learning boundaries, as well as animals needing special medical attention.

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe and take care of their dogs, and I treat every dog like part of my family. I am patient, responsible and reliable, and I always follow each dog's routine. I live in a non-smoking home where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. I speak Spanish and some English. Thank you for considering me! I have four days off every week, so I am fully available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for day care at my home. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays I am available from 7 am to 1 pm. Your dog will get my full attention, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages during the day. I live in a clean, non-smoking house where your dog will be safe and comfortable. I don't have pets of my own, so your dog will be the center of attention. We are a family home with young children, so I ask that dogs be friendly with kids. Dogs are always supervised, have fresh water, and a calm place to rest.

“Lauren was very approachable and I am so thankful that she walked my furbaby Kavik last minute. Kavik really needs exercise and he really did have a great one. I recommend her to everyone, and I will get her again for sure!”

About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.

About: I am willing to learn from your animal baby, I've also taken care of puppies, my old dog had a whole litter of 6 and we had a home birth. I've also cared for multiple litters of kittens. I know basics of training, however I am not a dog trainer! Just a loving being, hoping to connect with you and your dog or cat to best help them while you do your thing 🩷🦋 thank you for the opportunity Personally, I work full time at a Montessori inspired school and go to school so weekdays are not usually open for me. However, on weekends, I have more availability to look out for your furr babies while also doing community outreach. Eventually, I would like to work from home or find more space for this work as I transition to different work. I am willing to do drop INS after 6pm on certain days and vacation time I care for my animals with lots of love, usually I try to take the time to be with them since working full time you don't always get to. They are my babies and I want them all to feel like I am there for them 🩷. I usually clean their litter boxes, feed and cuddle when I get home 🩷 as for other animals around me that have come and gone, I am grateful for the unconditional love they have shown me and I to them 🩷

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for family and friends for many years and truly love being around animals. I currently have a friendly Goldendoodle puppy who loves other dogs and would enjoy having playmates during their stay. Because I work from home, your pet will receive lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country surrounded by farmland, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, explore, and burn energy. Inside, pets are treated like family — couch cuddles are welcome! My goal is to make your fur baby feel comfortable, active, loved, and at home while you’re away so you can return to a happy, tired pup ready to relax and cuddle with you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already spend most of my day caring for my own Goldendoodle puppy. Your pet will have frequent potty breaks, playtime, outdoor exercise, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with schedules when needed. We live on 2 peaceful acres in the country, so dogs have lots of space to safely run and play while still enjoying a calm, relaxing environment indoors. Pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family during their stay. I can crate when needed.

About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!
