“Very kind and loves to send pictures of your furry friend ❤️”


2. Matthew G.


“Matthew is the best! He keeps me updated on things he know I have concerns about, how my pup is doing with her reactivity to bikes and, when she had been ill, he updated me on how she was feeling and the details about the illness.”


3. Jill B.

“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”


4. Helene S.
“Helene has taken care of our two cats whenever we have needed to travel and they are both so happy to see her when she walks in the door. We know they get the best care when we travel and have never had anything but happy cats when we return.”


5. Christopher H.
“I couldn't think of anyone better than Christopher to watch or walk my dog. Christopher is a great pet owner as well as a really good person with a kind soul. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy dog walker/caregiver then look no further.”


6. Bonny C.
“Bonny goes above and beyond. We had to leave our dogs with her on short notice and when we came back they were happy, healthy, and had even had a bath. She has a genuine love for taking care of animals and it shows. My dogs love her. Any time we leave town, she’s the one we trust with our pups!”


7. Alyssa L.

“Fabulous!!! Communicative :)”


8. Dustin M.

“Dustin was amazing with my pup! She doesn’t usually like men and by the end of his walk with her she was giving him hugs and licking his hands! I think she wanted to go home with him! So wonderful to see! He also walked her for the full amount of time which I really appreciated because I’ve had other Rover dog walkers that were only gone for 10 or 15 minutes of the 30. We will definitely be asking Dustin to walk our dog more often. ☺️”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!


10. Makayla R.
About: I’ve always had animals growing up. I feel like they naturally gravitate towards me. This is the first time in a while I haven’t had pets of my own so I would love to care for yours! When booking with me please be advised I have a toddler. Your pet lucks up on double the love, attention, and cuddles with the both of us. I am new to the DFW area and would love to take provide care for your fur baby or babies, showing them nothing less than the love and care you already give them! I’m currently at home with my son (age 2) everyday. I have very open availability and flexibility to fit most schedules and routines as needed! I am very attentive. I may not have a fenced in backyard but I have a sizable balcony, dog park in my complex and plenty of walkable sidewalks near my home. I will never take my eyes off your pet when outside and they are welcome on all furniture in my home.


11. Ethan T.
About: I’m a fairly new dog owner who’s only had a year of experience, but don’t let that fool you. My first pet I’ve ever owned happened to be pregnant, so I’ve had my fair share of puppy care as well. Since I’m new to this life, my perspective on pets are more refreshed than others, and it’s making me learn that every pet deserves the same love I give to my dog. I’’m currently working part time as a server, but I only work 2 days there (one being a half day) so my schedule is very much open throughout the week. My house has a fenced yard (about 3 1/2ft tall) that overlooks a golf course and has a decent amount of running space. There will always be another dog in the house (my sweet girl) but she can be crated if needed. I allow all dogs on the furniture or bed unless instructed otherwise, and will keep a watchful eye on them the entire day (I do nothing at home anyways.)


12. Jessica B.
“Jessica will make an excellent Rover sitter. I have known her for several years and witnessed the care and love she had for her own dogs. She watched my dog Nathan on a few occasions and always kept me updated with daily pictures, taking long walks and playing fetch. She is very reliable and meticulous about understanding what a dog needs, from feeding and sleeping habits to any medications that your dog may be taking. I would definitely recommend her as an honest, reliable and caring sitter to all my friends.”


13. TaShayla C.
“Tashayla's natural love for animals, combined with her reliability and attention to detail, makes her an excellent sitter. You can trust that she'll care for your pet with patience, respect, and affection, keeping you updated along the way so you have peace of mind.”

About: I have had dogs and cats since the age of 5 and currently work at a Dog Daycare/Boarding facility. Through work, I have completed a dog handler certification course and have been thoroughly trained in recognizing dog behavior and possible health concerns that may need further medical attention. I am the proud mom of 3 fur babies (1 dog, 2 cats) and they are my whole world! I will make sure your babies are safe and will strive to provide the care I would want for my own! I am currently working at the doggy daycare morning from 7am-2pm. But I can go before my shift to stop by to walk or take care of your baby and after work anytime!! i don’t work Thursday and Sunday so i am available all day!! but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me! I will follow all the procedures you will have for me for your fur baby or a schedule for your fur baby I will always follow! You’re more than welcome to give me all the info I will need!




15. Rachel R.

“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”


16. Lucero R.
“Lucy has watched my dog, Shep, many times over the years. She’s incredibly affectionate, attentive, and makes sure he gets all the care and love he needs. Shep always comes home happy and is well taken when I come pick him up. Lucy is trustworthy, reliable, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch Shep again in the future!”


17. Brandy S.

“Brandy has been walking my golden retriever, Charlie, for a few months now, and we love her so much!! She is very communicative, flexible, and cares for Charlie as if she were her own. I can’t recommend Brandy enough!”


18. Vanessa E.
“As a devoted pet owner, I cannot emphasize enough how Vanessa has made an immeasurable difference in the lives of our beloved furry companions. Our journey with Vanessa began two years ago when we adopted a rescued Labrador mix named Max. Little did we know that her exceptional care and unwavering passion for animals would forever change our lives. If you're seeking a dedicated and passionate pet caregiver who will treat your furry family members with the utmost love and respect, look no further than Vanessa. She is an exceptional individual who has enriched our lives beyond measure.”


19. Wendy A.

“Wendy knew exactly how to meet my timid girl, Bella. She was patient and kind and read her behavior like she was a professional dog trainer! I'm so impressed. She gave me great feedback on Bella and was flexible on bookings. I would hire her again!”
