“Angela is an excellent pet sitter - responsible, reliable, always on time, and great at responding right away. My cat loved her and I could not have asked for a better helper. Will definitely reach out again. Highly recommend Angela!”

“Amanda is the best Rover we've had so far after about 7+ years of Rovers. The dogs loved her and in every picture she sent us they were having a great time. She never skipped check-ins, never forgot to send pictures, and always promptly responded. Would recommend her to anyone!”

“Alexis was a perfect match for my baby. This was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous. She was communicative, pleasant, and easy to work with. She put my mind at ease. My furbaby LOVED her. I can’t wait to use her again.”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life I truly enjoy animals. I have had 5 dogs in my 19 years of living and have grown up taking care and loving animals! I've also had multiple birds 😊 I'm in college so my schedual can be very flexible. I can talk about working holidays. I work hard and make sure your pets are happy and taken care of I like to play with the pets. I make sure pets are fed and have water with whatever schedual animal parent has. If parents are ok I will take the animals on walks and also check up on animals frequently. I also provide me staying over night if comfortable and needed
About: Hi! I’m Roxana, and I’d love to care for your pet like they’re part of our family 🤍 My husband Eric and I share our home with Sophie, our sweet 9-year-old Yorkie, who plays a big role in our pet-loving household. Sophie is an 8 lb rescue we adopted, she came to us anxious and unsure, and through patience, consistency, and lots of love, she’s grown into an affectionate, playful, and calm companion. That experience taught us so much about building trust with animals and meeting them where they are. We’ve even taught Sophie fun tricks like sit, shake, high-five, and roll over—proof that with the right approach, every dog can learn and thrive! In addition to caring for Sophie, I’ve had both cats and dogs over the years and have also looked after pets for friends and family. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Inside, pets are truly part of the family—whether that’s lounging on the couch or winding down before bedtime. We do ask that you bring a kennel or crate so your pet has a familiar, secure space to relax. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ✨ My schedule is flexible! I work from home 2–3 days a week (and even more during the holidays), which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s routine. ✨ Safety & Comfort First Your pet’s safety and trust are my top priorities. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and I always supervise time outside. Sophie is never out front without a harness and leash, and we extend that same level of care to every pet we host.
About: I take in any breed or size. I will love your fur baby like my own and make sure they get the care they need while in my care. I’m currently a stay at home mom to two teenage girls who are home schooled. It is always someone at home to supervise your fur baby. I have a large fenced in backyard that my current fur babies love to play in. I also have plenty of inside room for crates if needed.
About: I have had a love for Animals since I was around 12:00 had my pet for 17 years until he recently passed. I am home work based so able to give full attention to the pet. I work from home and my pet has been with me for 17 years and working from home he has given me that company that I needed while at home working daily I have a very large backyard that is fenced in and that allows the pets to run freely or they can be tied on a Long Leash. The pet can be kept inside I do not suggest caging
“On point! We had a death in the family and had to leave to attend funeral services. The biggest fear is to have someone who cannot handle your pup or love them while you’re away. She has been fantastic with our baby Astro, shows up on time and ready. Takes him out and gives a full explanation of what was done that day, if he drank watwr, walked, pooped, peed. It’s so relieving knowing she’s there when we aren’t. She was a real team player. ❤️ thank you!”

“Alma is awesome, she took great care of our chickens and our cat. We would love for her to take care of our pets in the future! Rover service is a very convenient way to communicate with your sitter when traveling.”

About: I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician, with many years of experience with dogs and cats. My kids and I currently foster animals for a local shelter in my area. I have a 18 year old daughter and 22 year old son. We love all animals! I can do drop in visits and doggy daycare on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm available for dog walking during the weekdays after 5pm and hours are flexible for dog walking on Saturday and Sundays. I'm available for boarding Fri, Sat and Sun. I'm open to doing boarding during the week as well, depending on how long your pet can be left alone and how frequently your pet will need potty breaks. Once you request a service we will set a schedule convenient for you and your pet for drop off and pick up. We have a safe and loving environment to cater to your pet needs. We have a fenced home for your pet to run and play and to enjoy their stay. We have 2 dogs. We could also come to your home to provided loving care for your pets.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for a family member’s dogs and cats on several occasions. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean, always making sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while their owner was away. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to providing safe and dependable care. As a college student, I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM–2 PM, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Outside of those hours and my part-time job, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely feedings, so you can feel confident they’re in reliable hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they receive timely feedings, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping their space clean and tidy. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so my home is a calm environment, and I’m able to accommodate small to medium-sized dogs. My goal is always to provide safe, attentive, and loving care.
About: Pet Care isn’t only my profession, it’s also my passion. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, rescuing strays, grooming family and friend’s pets to earn new books, and participating in 4H. That developed into working at an animal shelter, fostering and training stay dogs, and horseback competitions. I learned to groom through a mentorship at a grooming and boarding facility, and now specialize with aggressive and anxious dogs who are turned away from other grooming shops! I’m currently in a mentorship for dog training at a training and boarding facility and continue to foster whenever the opportunity arises. My priority is always honest, compassionate, and ethical pet care. I am equally passionate about people as I am about pets, and strive to make myself a judgement-free resource for owners who feel confused, overwhelmed, or out of resources. Whether that’s teaching owners how to properly brush their dog, helping owners understand their pet’s behavior, finding resources, creating solutions for pet problems, assisting with rehoming when life doesn’t go as planned, or even just helping to foster a healthy and confident relationship between owner and pet. I have worked with ALL sizes, ages, and temperaments and I love all of them. I have worked with special needs dogs, and dogs with extra medical requirements. I’m currently working part-time and my job is quite flexible so I have plenty of time for your pups throughout my days. Each week is different but reach out to me and we can work something out! Because of my background working with dogs professionally, I am more structured and safety minded than most but it works in your benefit when leaving your pups in my care. I strive to follow the dog’s usual routines as closely as possible and make sure that exercise, mental stimulation, feeding, and play needs are met according to each pup’s requirements and owner preferences. There is no ‘one size fits all’ care routine when it comes to dogs since they are all individual and different just like people!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, exercise needs, and the importance of consistent, loving attention. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also helped families by dog sitting for both short and extended periods, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, going on walks, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I am a sourdough home baker so I work from home and have plenty of time to schedule what works best for your babies. I’m flexible with my schedule and can usually accommodate any requested time. My puppies have their own little space with toys, blankets, and their pillows. I have a Furbo camera to check on them and get updates on their day if I’m out of town. I’m mindful of your home, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it, so you can relax knowing both your pet and space are in good hands.

“Well aside from the initial visit which one tremendously well, I have had one visit with my dog Avalanche. He took to her really fast, she was very loving caring and sweet to him during the visit. I would highly recommend her to anybody else. She is great in communicating as well as very punctual. Thank you for watching my little guy makes me feel much better while I'm at work.”


About: Howdy! I am a 1st year veterinary student at Texas A&M with one year of full-time technical experience in small animal medicine and many years of part-time work, shadowing, and ownership of companion animals. Your pets are the heart of why I’m still in school, and I’d love to help families out while I pay my way through school! I’d love to partner with you to make sure your pets live enriched, healthy lives! I am currently in school full-time till the first of May, but have much more availability opening up during the summer. My weekends allow me a lot of flexibility and my schedule can be variable, so if a last minute walk or check-in during a week day is needed, I’ll try by best to be there! Reducing anxiety and maximizing enrichment is my primary focus whether that be a long walk/run, playing fetch/tug, or some nice pets on the couch, I’m here to adapt to your pet’s needs and make life easier for you!
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages and breeds! I take my time to bond with them and make them feel like they are at home. I’m very patient, loving and gentle with dogs but am not afraid to be firm if needed. I love getting to know what every dog loves and genuinely enjoy playing and hanging out with them! I am free during the weekdays and the weekends at any time! So your sweet pup will have plenty of playtime and lots of attention! In my own home I I will make sure to ask the client questions about their pup and if they are okay with other dogs because I do have a dog. But can accommodate to that. I want the dog to feel like they are at home and I want them to be happy, loved and cared for. We have a fenced yard so your pup will have plenty of space outside to play! When I am in a clients home I put my focus on the animal I am caring for and put all my attention and time into making sure they get a walk,food,water, playtime and love! I always make sure I am very respectful and aware that it is not my home and am not afraid to reach out and ask questions if I have them.
About: I’m a lifelong dog/pet owner and have had my own dog for 6 years. I enjoy staying busy, and would love to spend time with dogs when I’m free! I live in an apartment near Willow Bend, but would be willing to drive a moderate distance to watch your pup! I am a movie lover who enjoys spending the day lounging around or playing with my 12 pound Chihuahua/ Pinscher mix! My family lives close by and we frequently have dog play dates. I allow dogs on my furniture and keep them out in the house whenever I am home. Your dog will get plenty of attention, excercise, and love will you are away! Thanks! I work full time, 9-5, however when I am watching your furbaby, all of my free time will be devoted to them for play and love! I am not available for boarding in my own home, but I am available for house sits and drop ins! When I am in your home, your pets are my top priority. I prefer to spend my time with them, and will treat them as if they were my own. Our time will be spent playing inside, or enjoying the fresh air outside in your backyard or on walks. I am also unbothered by dogs on furniture, and am familiar with all personalities. If you prefer to have your pets kenneled when I am away, that will be no issue.

“McKensi was fantastic with our cats while we were aware! We had to book last minute after someone else cancelled, and we are so glad we picked her! The updates she provided were wonderful & she was early each visit! We will absolutely book her for our next trip.”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life — I grew up caring for pets alongside family and have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I pride myself on being reliable and consistent, especially when it comes to feeding schedules and following each pet owner's specific instructions to the letter. Every pet has their own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to honor that. What truly sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own. I'm attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals — it's not just a job for me, it's something I care deeply about. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I'm currently taking online classes over the summer, which means I'm home almost all of the time — so pets in my care are never left alone for long. My schedule is flexible and low-key, which means I can give dogs the attention, playtime, and consistency they deserve throughout the entire day. On the rare occasion I do step out, it's briefly for family activities or to take the dogs on a walk. Otherwise, I'm home and fully present. I also occasionally help care for young children, so I'm used to being responsible, patient, and attentive to those who depend on me — pets included The safety and comfort of every pet I care for is my top priority. My home is set up perfectly for dogs — we have a fully fenced-in yard, so pups can run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely without any worry. During their stay, dogs are kept close to me in my room for the majority of the time, so they always have company and I can keep a close eye on them. We do have two resident dogs in the home, but they are both friendly and well socialized — they've welcomed visiting dogs before without any issues, making the transition smooth and stress free for everyone. I always make sure to do a slow, supervised introduction between dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable before giving them free time together. Every pet's boundaries are respected and their safety comes first.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently have a 7-year-old Shih Tzu that I’ve cared for since she was just 6 weeks old. I’ve also taken care of my brother’s Golden Retriever, my grandpa’s pit bulls, and friends’ dogs by feeding them, playing with them, taking them outside, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends for pet sitting, walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m dependable, responsive, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and a client’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, make sure dogs get enough exercise and attention, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a fenced yard and enough space for furry friends to run around my home!

Amanda was great with our very reactive dachshund! She took time to get lots of info and was willing to work with our unique circumstances (he's only willing to meet new people when we aren't there), and I'm so glad to have found her! Will definitely be using her whenever we go out of town and for days when we both have to stay at work late and he needs some extra love.
