“First time I ever left my baby with someone I did not personally know and was beyond happy! She exceeded all my expectations and made the whole experience worry free. My little dog had a blast and is now going to be extra excited I go on vacation!”
“Jonathan is awesome! We were so happy that Jacks got to stay with him for 10 days. Jonathan took exceptional care of Jacks. He sent pics every day. Best of all were the videos showing Jacks running around and playing while Jonathan spoke about how he was doing. Jacks had a great time and is looking forward to his next stay.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and it couldn’t have gone better. They gave us more than enough communication and made sure us and our dog were comfortable. Thank you for the great stay!”

“Firstly, Crystal was incredibly accommodating when it comes to pick up and drop off times. She was transparent and very quick to respond. Secondly, she took AMAZING care of my furry guy!! She sent plenty of fun updates and made him feel right at home 🤗 Thirdly, she was so kind and made me feel reassured that Maddox would be well taken care of overnight. I will absolutely book with her again and I know my pup will be excited to see his new friends!!”
About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
“I booked Priscilla for a long visit and she was amazing with my cat. She provided a great environment for her and was very responsive with any messages and requests. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love their pet while they’re out of town. I almost felt bad taking my cat back!”
“Krystal was great! We were visiting from out of town and wanted a chill place for our pup for a few days! Sweet Dee enjoyed her stay and had lots of fun with Krystal and her pup. We will definitely use Krystal again when visiting the area!”
“Gizmo had a great time with Kathleen and her dog Rosie ! It was a rainy weekend , but she made sure he felt safe and secure and had a great time as well !”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
“Lindsey was so great!! I needed to have my dog watched last minute and she was so great and accommodating, this was my first time using rover and having my dog watched outside of personal family. She sent updates and pictures everyday and answered all my questions before drop off! 10/10 recommend!!!!!”
“Alex was wonderful in taking care of our Ruby! Despite many cancelations and delays of our flight, Alex was super accommodating in taking care of our dog for an extra day! He constantly kept in touch with us and sent us pictures of her regularly. I would highly recommend Alex to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have one year of hands-on pet care experience assisting with my cousin's pet care business, where I helped care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and affection. In addition to my professional experience, friends and family have regularly trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel right at home. I am flexible with my schedule and can do short notice ! I’m available all day during weekends and early morning or anytime afternoon due to work, my job is close enough to work to drop in and tend to pets during lunch as well I currently do not have any pets living in my home and Pets are free to be on furniture can easily crate pets if needed
“Nancy and her husband Scott are the nicest most caring couple! We always know our Gumbo is in good hands when he is there. They send multiple photos and videos and make us feel so comfortable. Gumbo comes home happy and sleepy from all his play time. I am a very happy repeat client !”
“Daniella is so kind and did an amazing job talking care of Loki! She is very attentive and gave great updates daily! Will definitely book with her again! I 100% recommend her for any dog boarding needs. She took Loki on a short notice and he had an absolute blast with her!”
“Ernest is the best! His pick up and drop off service is clutch! Our car is too small for Rouxgarou's kennel, so having him picked up is a huge help. He is not a "dogsitter" he definitely a CAREGIVER!! Roux loves him and is excited to go with Uncle Ernest everytime!”
“Olivia is hands down the best sitter I have ever had for my pup. I have tried several people in the past, but no one has matched her level of genuine care and attention to detail. My pup Winston can be a bit shy, but he was immediately comfortable with her, which was a huge relief. He also has a very specific feeding routine that Olivia handled perfectly. She is incredibly responsive and sends THE BEST photo updates, so I was never left wondering how things were going. My dog whined and refused to leave when I got him, which has literally never happened before. If you want total peace of mind, book with Olivia. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“I left my dog with shana over thanksgiving week. Cupcake came back happy and healthy. Shana was super easy to work with and contact. The most important thing is I felt comfortable and safe leaving my dog for the first time. I highly recommend her.”

Ernest was one of, if not the best, experiences I’ve ever had with boarding. Friendly, professional and you can tell that he’s the kind of person that’s going to treat your pup as if it were his own. I’d recommend Ernest again and again. I hope he’s available anytime I need boarding! He will always be my first choice.
We had such a great experience with LaRae! She went completely above and beyond, was incredibly flexible, and treated Winston like her own. She even got him a sweet present for his gotcha day, which was so thoughtful and meant a lot to us. We got plenty of updates and could tell Winston was so happy and well cared for the entire time. We will absolutely be using LaRae again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Celia thank you so much for watching Penny for us. For others looking for sitters, I would highly recommend Celia. She was very attentive to Penny for an extended weekend during which she provided excellent care, lots of cuddles, and lots of updates on how Penny was doing / adapting to being with her. She even provided a personalized & fun review for Penny on how she did which was incredibly thoughtful. Thank you so much again!!
I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I reached out to her in a bit of a panic needing last-minute care for my dog Willow, and she said yes without hesitation. That alone was a huge relief, but what really stood out was how she kept me in the loop the entire time — regular updates, photos, the works. You could just tell Willow was comfortable and genuinely well looked after, not just tolerated. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your pup and won’t leave you anxiously checking your phone all day, Olivia is your person. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
Amazing experience! Stella came home happy and clearly well‑loved. She probably can’t wait to go back! Meredith sent great updates and photos throughout the stay, and communication was super fast. I felt totally at ease the whole time. I’ll definitely rebook with her!
I had a wonderful experience with Crystal. She was incredibly responsive, which made the booking process, pick up and drop off smooth. The care my pet received was exceptional; I can tell Crystal and her family truly love animals and treated my fur child like their own. Crystal was super friendly and kept me updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking with Crystal again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Paris was so amazing and my fur babies were so happy and taken care of…we were so lucky to have found a great sitter for them. She communicated with us so well and gave regular updates on how they were doing as well as lots of photos and videos of them. Thank you so much for taking care of Honey & Marley!
This is the 2nd time that Gynger has stayed with Micah and as soon as I dropped her off I could tell Gynger felt like she was right at home! She greeted Micah like they were best friends which tells me she’s loved and cared for! I also had a crazy/unknown work schedule and Micah was amazing and flexible through all of my changes! Highly recommend!
We have used Jennie multiple times for our Goldendoodle and our dog loves going and I can’t say enough good things! We most recently got stuck out of town due to the local ice storm and we knew our dog was being well cared for and loved. We always get pics of how the stay is going. Will keep using Jennie as long as she is available!
Lindsey was so great!! I needed to have my dog watched last minute and she was so great and accommodating, this was my first time using rover and having my dog watched outside of personal family. She sent updates and pictures everyday and answered all my questions before drop off! 10/10 recommend!!!!!
