“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Lisana was great my pups were happy, well taken care of and my apt was tidy when we got back! She communicated daily and sent update pictures which I loved. Would definitely book again!”
“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”
“Samantha did a great job caring for our two great danes! They are a little shy, but they quickly felt comfortable with her during our meet and greet. While we were away, she did a great job of keeping us informed of how our girls were doing. She sent exceptional pictures with each check in that we really appreciated.”
“Great experience with Maria watching after our babies. She was willing to meet with our dogs prior to the dates of the booking. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She was willing to stay longer if needed to ensure the dogs were taken care of. Great communication and our dogs seemed happy. We didn’t require the dogs to be walked but she went above and beyond to make sure they still got some exercise and play time.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have developed the deep love and understanding of pet care. I have learned how to recognize the subtle signs of an animals needs, which help me provide the best care possible. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know that their pets are in safe hands, which is why I always communicate regularly and provide updates. You can always count on me to show up and provide a nurturing environment. I am excited to extend care and attention to other furry friends! I am currently a student at the University of The Incarnate Word. I am typically available from 12 to 6 pm however, could also do very early in the morning. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home my priority is to create a safe, comfortable and trusting environment. I follow any specific instructions from the pet owner regarding food, exercise, and behavior, maintaining consistency to reduce any anxiety. I will always make sure that the pet has access to freshwater and plenty of affection. I focus on maintaining a calm and protective environment so both the pet and owner feel at ease knowing they are in trustworthy hands.
“Saved my can when another pet sitter failed to follow instructions and I had to fire them from a far. Roxanne came in and took great care of my babies. They were calm and happy when I got home.”
“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jared did a fantastic job with both of my cats, did great with giving all medications and keeping two cats with very different appetites both fed and happy. They obviously loved him and I’ll reach out to him first before considering anyone else for future trips. Professional, communicates super well and sends lots of absolutely adorable pictures.”
“Jessica was fantastic watching Bucky for me while went to the movies. Both Bucky and I have separation anxiety so I wanted someone with him. She took excellent care of him, playing with him, making sure he ate, and even walked him twice. She was very sweet and professional I will book with her again jd”
“Ana was a great help to us over Christmas while we were out of town! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of our boys. We really wanted them to stay at our house so she was able to visit them several times a day for play dates!”
“Jeremiah looked after my home and 5 year old rottweiler while we were away for a week. He was very professional and kept me updated on my pup and house daily. We will be using Jeremiah for sittings for the future. Thank you!”
“Rebeccahlynn was fantastic! She showed up early, was super professional, great with our dog, and kept us updated with plenty of photos. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Bella and Boomer were so well cared for! They enjoyed walks and treats and plenty of love and attention. We’ll definitely have Odalys back to housesit and petsit at our next trip away!”
“She was absolutely amazing. Super attentive and updated me throughout the day with pics. Made us feel much at ease. Would highly recommended and will be hiring again! 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ericka calmed all my fears about leaving my reactive pup with her! She sent me lots of pictures and just took such good care of them! My dogs loved Ericka 🥰 (I’m only begrudgingly leaving this review bc I selfishly want to keep her for myself!)”
“Leo did a great job taking care of our pups and house while we were away for a week long trip, everything was clean and orderly when we returned and the pups were well fed and happy to see us!”

Donaldson Terrace pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jeremiah was fantastic! We were so worried leaving our boy Gino to go in vacation. If you are familiar with cane corsos, they are known to be Velcro dogs. They tend to get depressed when their humans are not close to them. Jeremiah did an exceptional job in taking care of Gino and making him feel safe. Gino took very well to him. Our house was very well taken care of as well. We will definitely be using Jeremiah as our sitter for any future trips.
Christine responded quickly to my request, and met up with me and my dogs to better acquaint herself with them. Christine was caring and professional while caring for my dogs, and maintained communication with me. She has a sunny disposition, and my dogs felt comfortable and reassured by her presence. Christine is highly recommended!
Taewon was phenomenal with my two pups. Especially since my doodle ended up getting ill and required a very stringent medication plan. I was already a nervous wreck having to be gone for so long and he put my worries right at ease. He deserves pup taker of the year award!!! He communicated every day, asking if there were other things to try/consider, and genuinely treated my fur babies as though he was the their owner and they loved him as I could tell in their daily pictures. He was very respectful of my home and left everything immaculate! 10/10 recommend especially if your pets are seniors, require a little more care, or have medication needs.
Harley was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our boys, and it was clear they were completely comfortable with her. Knowing they were in such good hands while we were away gave us tremendous peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. I highly recommend Harley to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter—she treats your pets as if they were her own.
