About: I've been with rover for a few years and I enjoy everything about it. Your experience with your pet in my care will guarantee a happy pet while visiting the heart of central Arlington. Times for feeding and walking can be journaled if need be. Also learning about your pet helps me understand what he/she needs. I'm currently available at all times during the session of your booking. I stay and make sure your pet is well taken care of and made a priority. I have a small apartment but enough room for your pets to have space and feel comfortable. I enjoy having your pet feel happy in an environment that has clarity and good energy.

About: My phone screen says it all...it's a photo of my dog, the first thing I see every morning and the face I look forward to coming home to. That love is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. For 15 years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets during vacations, emergencies, and everything in between. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. I'm patient enough to sit with that, calm enough to reassure them, and attentive enough to know what they need in the moment. Whether that's extra cuddles, a familiar routine, or just a steady, loving presence. What sets me apart isn't just experience. It's that I genuinely care. Your pet won't just be looked after, they will feel it. One of the best things about my schedule right now is the flexibility. Working part time means I can shape my days around the pets in my care, whether that's an early morning walk, staying close during those first anxious hours after an owner leaves, or simply being home and present. Your pet won't spend the day waiting. They'll spend it with someone who's actually there. From the moment a pet enters my care, their comfort and safety come first. I live alone which means no unexpected chaos, just a calm space where pets can relax and settle in. My flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door. Your pet has my time and full attention. Trust is everything. Fifteen years of caring for friends' and family's pets has taught me how to earn it quickly, from the animals and their owners. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Whether I'm in my home or yours, my approach never changes: treat every animal exactly the way I'd want my own dog treated.

About: As a board certified behavior analyst, you can be sure your pet is in good hands. I have owned both dogs and cats. Reinforcement based methods are used :) I take my dogs out 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night) and feed them twice a day, morning and night. I allow them to lead walks unless I’m specifically training for them to walk beside me. I take pets to the local dog park (unless not desired by owner) and use treats as reinforcement for good behavior. I would also take them to get pup cups. I allow pets on the couch so that’ll likely be the spot your pup sleeps on!

About: I have a love for animals that you don’t see everyday. I deeply understand that your pets are your family, meaning their safety is my #1 priority. When your pet is in my care, they will be loved on and never left unattended. Sharing photos and text updates are a basic part of my drop in and walking care and I will always be available for calls/texts/facetimes should you have any questions, concerns or just want to say hi to your fur baby! I have also been a Dallas CASA volunteer for close to 2 years because caring for pets & children are truly a passion to me. I work from home and only occasionally have meetings, no longer than an hour at a time, so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. My husband typically accompanies me on first visits or drop in visits after dark for safety precautions. Doors to the outside and gates from the yard are never left open, I understand because my dogs (and cat) can be runners. When I let the doggos out to use the restroom, they will be watched and not left unattended. I understand that elements such as weather, pools, holes in fences, etc. play a part in safety when pets are outside. When I stop by for visits, your pets will get all the love to make up for any time they’ve been left alone.

About: I have had cats for 20 years or more and I enjoy taking care of them. I love dogs and have been helping a friend with walking dogs. I always make a special connection with dogs. They like me. I can see their tail wagging. I want all pets to get the care they need. I am working part time so mornings and evenings would work for me. I can also work on weekends and on days I do not work. I can come to someone's home to take care of the pets or take them for a walk. Feed them and clean up after them.

“Tereza was absolutely amazing! Very happy with the care and walk she did for my dog!”

About: I have watched pets for several friends in the past and look forward to watching yours! My current dog is well trained by my husband and I for hunting & is very obedient! I am a nurse who works just 2 days a week so have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your animals! I use Rover myself when needed for my dog! Our pup is the light of our life right now and enjoys being outdoors just as much as we do!

About: Soy técnico veterinario. He tenido perros y gatos desde niña y me encantan. Tengo experiencia en entrenamiento de obediencia así que su mascota estará en las mejores manos. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I work with dogs professionally during the day and I’m available for pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in the afternoons and evenings, as well as additional availability on weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I would love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies or medical conditions, and any behavioral concerns. Please also let me know about their favorite activities, fears, triggers, interactions with other animals, and anything else that will help me keep them comfortable, happy, and safe.

“Shelly is extremely professional and dependable. My dog is really shy with new people, and Shelly eventually earned his trust, without forcing it. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs professionally since 2022 and run Doggonit Daycare & Boarding from my home in Arlington, Texas. I welcome friendly dogs of all sizes and breeds, including puppies and dogs still working on potty training. My care includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, companionship, and following each dog’s usual routine. Days include structured play, enrichment activities, outdoor time in my securely fenced yard, and rest breaks. Dogs are grouped by size and temperament to help everyone feel comfortable. I provide crates and kennels, and dogs must be comfortable using them. Kennels may be used for rest and brief, supervised breaks to interrupt unwanted behavior and help dogs settle. Daycare and boarding are available by reservation, with drop-off and pickup times arranged in advance. My goal is to provide a welcoming, structured environment where your dog can play, relax, and receive attentive care while you’re away. Dog care is part of my daily routine. I offer daycare and short- or extended-stay boarding by reservation. Each day includes feeding, potty breaks, structured play, enrichment, and rest. Regular drop-off and pickup hours are 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., with all times arranged in advance. Drop-offs or pickups outside these hours require advance approval, are subject to availability, and may incur an additional fee. Any additional fee will be confirmed before booking.Last-minute requests are considered based on availability and whether your dog is a good fit for my home. Your dog will stay in a home environment with a large, securely fenced yard. Dogs are grouped by size and temperament, with supervised play and rest breaks throughout the day. I welcome friendly, non-aggressive dogs and discuss their routines and needs before booking. Outdoor time is adjusted for the weather and each dog’s comfort. During hot weather, outdoor visits are kept brief, with indoor play, enrichment, and rest. Fresh water is always available. I provide crates and kennels, and dogs must be comfortable using them. Kennels may be used for rest and brief, supervised breaks to interrupt unwanted behavior and help dogs settle. Feeding and any agreed care instructions follow your dog’s usual routine.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who will care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I’m here to help. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind! I am a full time online student so I have a very flexible schedule in regard to taking care of your pet! I usually wake up around 7 in the morning and take a morning walk with my dog. She gets lots of attention inside and outside and I would do the same for your pet. I have a dog park right behind us so I always take them to the park and there is River Legacy park right by me so I also go on lots of walks.

About: Hi there! My name is Ashley and I'm a HUGE dog and cat lover. I primarily pet-sit in Texas and NYC (occasionally in Virginia). A bit more about me: I rescued, fostered, and adopted 10+ feral kittens to their forever homes during the pandemic on my own. I also had and trained two big furry babies back in Texas named Bentley (German-Shepard/Collie Mix, 75lbs) and Poppy (Golden Retriever, 85lbs) before they passed the rainbow bridge. My purpose: I am looking to give our four-legged besties some love while helping other fur parents feel comfortable about not being with them. I'm familiar with taking care of different types of breeds, sizes, ages, and medical conditions (giving IV fluids, diabetes shots, oral pills, etc.). I will treat your precious baby with love and care and will make sure everyone has a great time! I know how scary it can be leaving your baby under someone else's care but I hope to eliminate that fear as I send many updates with pictures to keep you impressed and reassured. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby soon! Tell me about your baby's usual daily schedule and we can adjust as needed! Most of the time my schedule tends to be flexible so we should not have an issue. Give me a list of your daily routines and norms! Let me know the little details/their habits (like they scratch the floor because they want more food or you know something is wrong if they don't eat their chicken because they never say no to chicken). Show me where everything is and who to call if something were to ever happen (but hopefully I never have to use the emergency number/emergency vet!). I'll make sure to read any instructions you give me multiple times and ask if I think anything is missing!

“My pups love Paris! She takes good care of them! She is kind and loving, treating them as her own. I trust her implicitly! They are always excited to see her and go on walks with her. She notifies me immediately if there are any issues with either one. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've always been an animal lover, from owning to caring for them. Always have had a dog in our home sometimes 2 or 3. I've taken care of senior dogs to handling puppies, all shapes and sizes. We lived on a 10 acre farm so animals have always been a big part of our life. Taking care of a pet is just part of a daily routine for me, It brings joy to my life to have animals in my life I can make what necessary adjustments a client may need, walking or they can run in my fenced yard. Dogs are always welcomed in our home.

About: I have worked at a dog grooming place for a few years now so im pretty comfortable with doggie care, I also know how to give nail trims if your pup is willing! Im currently in school as well as working but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of those two, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my only completely unavailable days. My fur babies have their daily vitamins and get taken outside quite often since they love to sunbathe. I can bring toys to play with your pups and im also used to putting my puppy up in her kennel for her naps, so depending on your routine with yours I can do whatever works for you.

“Madeline was great. Unfortunately, this was our first experience with our dog and Rover- she was way more sliding than we expected. Regardless, Madeline kept in communication and made our sweet girl as comfortable as possible. Obviously I wish our dog wasn’t as nervous to new people, but I would trust her for any future bookings!”

“Maura just wonderful and my girls really liked her! We were traveling my son‘s football game and we’re staying in a hotel and Well at the game. She came to our hotel and walked our pups for us! She followed all the instructions and sent me a ton of cute pics, highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had a total of 5 pets that I personal took care of. I always took them for walks and I don’t eat until my dog eats. There will be no issue with me taking care of pets. I work from home and will be able to watch your pet at all times. I always give the animal all the attention they need, I’m never away from the animal, and I treat all of them as if they were my own.
