About: I have cared for many different types of animals since the young age of 6 or 7. I have always had much empathy, patience and understanding for them. We cared for stray dogs, cats and a hurt hummingbird as a child. Christie was our family dog when I was a teen that was a beautiful Collie who I cared for till I moved away for college. Since then, I have cared for many dogs, birds, lizards and cats. I have educated myself greatly on the topics of pet care, behavior, training, feeding and more. I have served as a foster mom in DFW and currently assist Ay Chihuahua Rescue group in fostering and holding adoption & educational events. I also support foster families in their needs for our group. My hope one day is to have a big farm in the country where I can foster many more animals especially seniors in the short years that they have left. I am a retired Texas school educator who runs a small Etsy Shop from home. I am free to care for pets most of the day as needed and boarding on occasion. I have no obligations except my current two small dogs. I ensure pets have their potty breaks on a frequent basis to avoid accidents. I ensure they eat the right amount & quality of food for both meals. I walk my dogs even though we have a fenced backyard so that they can explore, smell the outdoors and be stimulated by all of the sights and sounds of nature. I am very patient, understanding, kind and considerate of all animals especially rescues and those that need more training, discipline and positive reinforcement. I have had pets my entire life from birds as a young girl to a turtle to cats and dogs. I care about all animals and understand their body language and try to be attuned to their thinking so as to not bring fear or aggravate any stresses they may have. As a young girl, I grew up in a neighborhood with many stray dogs and learned from an early age how to read their body and how to move my own body to not scare or threaten an animal. I am also a foster Mom to other foster Moms that need a vacation or break. Caring for pets brings joy, fun and satisfaction to my life and could not envision a life without pets.

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”

“Margaret was awesome!! Skipper had a great time and was very well taken care of. We got updated throughout every day and she was super transparent and kind! We will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her!”

“I have never had puppy before , so leaving my puppy for one weekend left me super anxious and nerves. Once Karen meet with us for the meet and greet i felt much better as she knew how much engagement was needed for an energetic puppy , she left me know what she was planning to do and ask if she could take her on field to the local parks which made me feel so relived that my puppy wouldn’t be in a kennel all day. I came back from my trip and my little girl looked like she had the time of her life i highly recommend Karen and well definitely be booking with her again !!”

“Tyler was an amazing rover for Fen. She is high energy and requires a lot of attention. He took her on walks and played nonstop. I appreciate his flexibility and he left my home in great condition!”

Shelby M.

“Our boys loved Sam. She did a great job of sitting them at our home and the following the boys’ somewhat wonky “procedures” that I do when it comes to medication feeding and making things “even.” She would talk to them like we do and would send pics which is super nice to ease my mind. Will definitely rebook again when needed and or just so the boys can see her again!”

“Jacqueline did a great job caring for our animals! Very attentive and followed our instructions !”

“Penelope was the best sitter we’ve ever had. She was professional and my oodle puppies LOVED her! They’re usually skittish with new people but they jumped right up to hug her! She takes care of your babies like she would her own! We will be requesting Penelope again in the future!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“Madalyn is wonderful to work with. She is very professional and yet personable. It’s obvious she loves animals. This was our first time using Rover and I was so happy to find someone like Madalyn. I felt comfortable leaving our two dogs knowing she would be looking out for them. She always made sure to send pictures and an update every time she checked in on our dogs. She was also very respectful of our house and did more than was expected.”

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 had lots dogs growing up 5 at one time and worked on a farm with many animals and a pack of dogs I have a working dog myself currently that I love and take care of. I play college beach volleyball I usually train early in the morning but am available whenever I have a very flexible schedule to be needed whenever. I have a working dog and then a sweet pit mix I walk them daily and run my working dog on the regular 3 miles or more. I’ll play with them outside and give pets and cuddles. As well as I have my own cat Rio who I love and adore and make sure he gets attention as well

“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”

“Stephanie was wonderful! She loved on my dog as her own. I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been working with all kinds of cats and dogs of every size for five years now. I really enjoy working and playing with the dogs and taking care of their needs. I’m currently in school for my NP, but when I’m not doing school I do have plenty of time to care for the dogs and do everything they need. I have a dog friendly pug and cat in the home. They do very well with other cats and dogs of all sizes. And the area I live in is very dog friendly.

“Bailey took fantastic care of our two pups while we were away on a trip. It was our first time to use a pet sitter and we'll definitely call for Bailey's help again. She sent us lots of pictures and updates about our two pugs. It was very comforting to know that they were happy and very well cared for. While we didn't have any kind of hiccup during her stay, we felt very confident that Bailey would be able to handle any issue or be able to independently get any additional help that might be needed. One of our pugs needs medicine multiple times a day and doesn't see very well which means he needs special care when he's outside so that he doesn't hurt himself. Bailey was able to handle that with no problems. We couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone who needs pet sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and am able to help train dogs in being potty trained. I am extremely caring for dogs and enjoy learning how your pet experiences their own life! I’m currently not working so my full attention will be on your pet. I will take your dog out at least 3 times a day and can even take them to fun spots if allowed. I have a gated community with a small doggy park. I have a friendly dog myself that loves meeting other dogs. I am completely understanding of your needs as well as your dogs.
