My husband and I took a 2 week long international trip and Crystal cat sat for us. Crystal is great with communication, and it totally put me at ease.

I will definitely be using Sidney again any time I need someone to watch Luna again or need anyone to check up on her during the day!!!”

About: I have worked at a luxury boarding place during my college breaks for 3 years and have pet sit for many neighbors and family friends over the years. I have availability after noon and am free to walk or let pets out during lunch time. I can also drop by mid afternoon as well. During walks, I make sure the pet is securely leashed, hydrated if needed, and given the right amount of exercise based on their needs. I also take into consideration the temperature, specifically if it is too hot. For drop-in visits, I treat each home with the same respect I would want in mine. I make sure pets are happy and are well stocked with water and treats. I always check for anything out of the ordinary I like to keep owners updated with pictures so they feel connected and reassured.
About: With years of hands-on experience, I've volunteered at animal shelters where I gained valuable insight into caring for a variety of dogs. Growing up with both big and small breeds, I've learned how to adapt to each dog's unique needs and personality. Additionally, I regularly take care of my roommate's dog when she's away, further honing my skills in providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available on weekends to offer the best care for your dog. Whether it's dog sitting, walking, or just spending quality time with your furry friend, weekends work perfectly for me to ensure they get the attention they deserve while you're busy. Let me know how I can help! I take great pride in providing a comfortable and safe environment for pets, both in my home and in my clients' homes. When caring for pets in my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. In your home, I make sure to respect your pet's familiar surroundings while providing the same level of care. I stick to their routine, offer companionship, and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, always ensuring they’re happy and well-cared for.
“I’ve been using Brittany on a regular basis while I’m at work for months now, she is the best!! I always know my pup will be in good hands and taken well care of!”
About: While you are away your dog's needs will be taken care of! I have a love for all dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. About this sitter: I am a young professional with a passion for animals. I love playing with them, walking them, or just enjoying their company. I love to explore the outdoors but also like being a couch potato. I have a very easy going, personable attitude. I am compassionate, responsible, and very accommodating of others. As a member of your family I will take great care of your dog ensuring its well being and happiness until you come back! Why I love dog sitting My first memory of loving a dog is when I was 5 or 6. At a young age any visit to my grandma's house meant I was able to play and walk her dog all day and night, my favorite thing to do! My family always referred to him as "Melissa's dog". I believe I form a great bond with dogs and they always steal my attention when nearby! My experience administering medication Yes, I have experience administering pills and drops to a dog as well as drops to my pet cat. If you give me instructions on what needs to be done I would be more than happy to do it. I just moved to Fort Worth, but have been an active Rover sitter while I lived in NYC and South Carolina. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule which makes it perfect to care for your fur babies ! I have 2 dogs of my own and will treat your pups just the same. I’ll protect them, keep them safe and give them love !

About: I have experience living with and taking care of ~60lb dogs and experience with all kinds of cats. I’m comfortable walking dogs and enjoy letting them have outside time as much as they can! My schedule is relatively flexible, especially when planned out well. If driving distance is not too far it will be easier to make last minute sitting work! However the client prefers me to care for their pet is how I will care for them. I will always love and give pets to the animals as well :)
About: I am a nurse that is off 4 days a week, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets! I love to go on walks and play, and I am always willing to give them the best pets.

I get my schedule a month in advance and update my availability regularly! I currently live in an apartment right by the trinity river great for long walks or much needed sniffs. I am available 4 days a week and I love repeat bookings!

Kara P.
“Kara has been walking our dog Stormy for a while now, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her. Stormy is a fun-loving, active pup, and Kara has been the perfect match for his energy and enthusiasm. She consistently sends us photos from their walks, which we always look forward to. It’s clear that she not only enjoys spending time with Stormy, but also genuinely connects with the dogs she walks. One of the things I really appreciate is how Kara takes time to understand each dog’s unique personality. Stormy absolutely lights up when Kara arrives — he knows it’s time for a fun adventure. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with someone who truly enjoys what she does. We highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful dog walker.”

Melissa M.
“My roommate had gotten "custody" of a dog from a previous relationship and she had never really been trained. Needless to say, Luna was terrible and my roommate had too hectic of a work schedule to spend the time necessary to really train and socialize her. Melissa spent almost everyday that summer at our house working with Luna! She trained her to walk on her leash, not bolt out the door and run away, go to the door when needing to use the bathroom, and the biggest thing was not to jump and run around in circles every time the door opened. Luna is a much better behaved dog then she was and is now a pleasure to have in the house! Melissa is patient, enthusiastic, and very loving toward animals, even when they are as bad as Luna once was. ”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Heather was absolutely wonderful with our cat while my girlfriend and I were gone for 3 weeks. She sent tons of pictures every day and gave updates through the app. We truly got to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was in Heather’s care. This was my first time using Rover and Heather made it a life saver. 12/10 recommend Heather if you need a pet sitter. You nor your pet will regret the decision.
Lauren was absolutely amazing helping out with my pup! Took the time beforehand to learn about her personality and needs. Which one of those things being that she’s not a big walker so she happily switched to a quick walk but staying to play fetch with her. I was also traveling for work which had some last minutes changes that she was so accommodating too! I’m so lucky I found her on rover and would highly recommend!
Adelaide did an amazing job with even our most anxious pup. She took her time and gave them all the time they needed to run and have social interaction. She kept us updated and shared pictures and videos to help ease our worries about leaving the pups behind. We will be using her again!
Ayisha was amazing with all of my fur babies! She is very experienced with caring for kitties who need extra love and attention with medication and those who are shy. She sent lots of pictures which is always a plus when traveling away and missing your babies. She went above and beyond to cater to the fur babies’ needs and to reassure me as well. Will DEFINITELY book with her again as I know my babies are/were in GREAT hands!
This was my first ever time using Rover. I could not be more thrilled with the process from start to finish. Rebecca did everything I asked, and then some. Our initial meet and greet was great. She is extremely friendly, very professional, and I truly appreciated her calm energy from the moment I met her. I would recommend her to everyone. If you're looking to hire someone from this site, please consider using Rebecca. Oh, and the personal comments and pictures of my pet really gave me a sense of peace. I give her a 10 out of 10.
Stella is incredible! She went above and beyond, was great with communicating with us, and loved on our anxious dog and cat so much. I could not recommend her enough, she truly cares about our pets and she gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Definitely the best Rover experience we have ever had!
Nathan did a great job with watching my dog while I was traveling. Things that stood out to me about Nathan was his on time check ins, how well he followed my directions, and the plenty of pictures and fast responses he would sent me. Nathan has a wonderful dog himself and he put aside time for our dogs to meet. My dog for sure enjoyed having a friend while I was away. Thanks again Nathan you did fantastic!
I booked with Mariana and Martin last minute, and they were absolutely amazing! Super communicative from the start, they made me feel at ease right away. They sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. You can tell they genuinely care and go the extra mile to help. Highly recommend them!
