“I can’t say enough great things about Marissa! She not only took wonderful care of my kitty, but she went above and beyond to make sure that he was happy while I was away. Marissa spent time helping my very shy boy get comfortable with her, and then played with him and even got him a toy for Christmas! She also made sure to send detailed updates every visit. I will absolutely be booking Marissa again!”

“Mary is wonderful. She provided great communication and pictures so we could see our fur babies. Our girl kitty that doesn’t like strangers even came out to see her. We highly recommend Mary.”


“Chris took care of our cat while we were on vacation and we were happy with his service. He was very communicative, kept us informed with messages and pictures and he was respectful of our instructions and nervousness about being away from our home. We would happily book Chris again.”


“Nicole goes above and beyond for our new puppy! He’s has lots of energy and we are so thankful she has been someone we can count on to show him some love during the day while we are at work. 🩵”


About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14. I love all animals and have experience with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have 5 dogs at home so I’m used to chaos! I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I’m still a student, but I do a independent program that only requires me to go in once a week to a community and the rest of the week I work on my studies at home. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside. All my dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“Dee is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of our doggos, and they absolutely love her. We get plenty of photos, she is punctual, and communicates extremely well. She even made them doggy-friendly cookies! I highly recommend Dee to give your puppies the love and care they need while you’re away!”


“Magan was awesome. She sent pictures of my cat throughout the week letting me know he was doing well. My boy also needed some meds while we were out of town and Magan made sure he got them. Bonus: she brought some random packages that were delivered inside. Definitely recommend and will use again!”


About: I've been around animals all my life. My family has always called me the pet whisperer and asked me to care for they're pets when gone I work part time at tractor supply, on my off time I will be volunteering at animal shelters and doing a internship. When that not going on I would love to earn extra money to care for my bunny and spoil him I am a very active person always willing to excercise your animals and play with them all while making sure they're well taken care of


About: "Hi there! While I’m new to offering my pet care services on the Rover app, I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life. I adopted my dog 5 years ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. I also petsit five very high-maintenance (but totally adorable) French Bulldogs for my daughter on occasion — so I’m no stranger to giving lots of attention and care! I work full-time, Monday through Friday, but make plenty of time to give pets the love and care they deserve. I’ve recently completed my Cat and Dog First Aid certification through the American Red Cross and am currently taking a dog obedience course to learn even more. You can rest easy knowing your furry family member will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me!" I am employed full-time and work Monday - Friday, so I will only be able to care for your fur babies after 5 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. My dog is indoor/outdoor. He stays outside during most days but comes inside if it gets too hot or cold for him. When I have my daughter's dogs, either in my home or hers, they stay in kennels inside the house because they are still learning manners. They get outdoor potty breaks and play time every two - three hours. One of my daughter's dogs suffers from seizures from time to time so I have to keep this dog away from too much excitement so not to trigger her. All in all, they are great dogs. When I petsit for my daughter, I make sure that the dogs are fed and provided water, the kennels are kept clean, and that they get enough exercise..


“Rachel house/pet sat for our Kitty for 10 days and she was wonderful! Our kitty absolutely loved her and she kept us well updated with daily photos and accounts of the mischief he got up to! We will definitely have her look after our fur babies again and highly recommend her!!”

“Oh Caitlyn is awesome. She is so caring and sweet. She really goes the extra mile to play with your animals while your away. She sent us tons of photos and a video. Her service was very reassuring and I recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter. 10/10”


About: I absolutely love all animals especially dogs, cats, horses, and squirrels. I received my first puppy at the age of six who was a Dachshund and she was my best friend. After she passed away I received a German Shepherd at the age of 11 and her name was Duchess which ended up having a litter of nine puppies. I have always loved playing with dogs either on the beach throwing balls playing Frisbee are just hanging out in the living room watching TV. I am also experienced with cats and birds. I provide walking service, sitting service, taking your pet to and from veterinarian appointments as well as going to the local pet store for a treat. I love big dogs medium-size dogs little dogs however some of my favorite breeds are German shepherds, Min Pins, Beagles, Terriers, Irish setters, and Labrador retrievers. I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own dogs as well as family and friends dogs. I have experience in potty training dogs and puppies that have never been potty trained before. I also have experience with cats if you have a dog and cat household that needs care. Additional pet care services can be offered at an additional small fee like picking up waste, cleaning cat boxes etc. Why I love dog sitting I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own dogs as well as family and friends dogs.

About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day

About: Since childhood, animals have played a key role in my life. Much thanks to my parents who never lost their roots or love of the family farm. I've raised everything from cats and dogs to cows and horses, including ferrets, sugar gliders, rabbits, chickens, waterfowl, sheep, goats and mules. I enjoy caring for animals and would enjoy caring for yours. My days begin and end with animal care, namely walking dogs and feeding livestock. My schedule is always bracketed by animal care and it's a common use of my free time. My dogs would be kept physically separated unless under direct supervision. Only play with dogs their own size will be allowed. Food and treats will be distributed separately. My dogs are senior and neutered, if they growl it's usually because they're dreaming or got woke up.

About: I have been in the vet med field for 6 years and have always had animals of my own. I own a small farm so I’m able to help with your outside pets as well! I work 7-5 during the week days. So I’m able to come by in the mornings and after work and at night if needed. If you are close enough to my work I can also do a lunch visit. My pet are crated during the working hours but when I come home we get lots of outside time playing frisbee, ball and lots of belly rubs. I will brush the dogs a lot daily to ensure less shedding in the house

About: I've taken care of pets for over twenty plus years. From puppy or kitten to senior or special needs I tailor my services to each pet's individual needs and preferences. I am punctual, responsive and responsible. I can provide regular updates and photos upon request. I homeschool my two kiddos so our schedule is very flexible. We look forward to loving on and caring for your fur baby while you're away! I have a fenced yard, one mini Aussie and chickens in the back. I am home to take your pup out or they can roam free within the fenced yard.

About: A little about me: I bathed dogs for 6 months, raised goats, horses and chickens. Currently I have 4 dogs and 3 outside cats. I’ve had a wide variety of animals growing up. I have bottle fed, administered medication, and changed bandages. I would love taking care of your fur babies! 🐾 I will take care and do what you request. My job is to meet the needs while you are away from your companion. I am available during week and possible weekend just reach out and tell me your needs. The dog/cats will be taken care of at all times. Any requests or instructions that were left will be followed. I am there to take care of your pet while you are away and I will do my best to make the pet feel comfortable while you are away.

Sara R.
“Sara grew up caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have never felt like my puppy Finley was in better hands than with Sara. Finley normally has trouble being comfortable around strangers, but Sara knew just had to approach and calm him down. I will definitely have her look after Finley again!”


Chris N.
“My little Mia Pia loves when Chris comes to see her. She's convinced he's just a fan of hers, but I always feel so less guilty leaving her behind on those trips she just cannot accompany me on, if I know Chris will be with her. He doesn't mind my obsessive need to constantly check in on her, or if he does he never makes me feel bad. She does have a special diet and some health issues, but Chris has always given my Mia Pia the same love and care as I do, or pretty close. Mia and I give him 5 paws up!”

“For us it was crucial to find someone we could trust. Katie exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did she provide excellent care for our energetic Lab, Nuke, but she also kept us updated with daily photos and updates. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”


Christin S.
“I work long days and it's nice having someone like christin that is good with animals. I have 4 dogs that are large breed dogs that she helps me with when working long days. Having someone that you can trust to enter your home is very important to me. I would only use christin to care for my pets.”
