“Gracie is a literal angel! She stayed at my house for 11 days taking care of my dog and 2 cats, and she somehow left my house better than when I left! My pets aren’t the easiest to take care of so I left a lot of specific instructions and she was able to maintain their care seamlessly. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I would definitely ask her to pet sit again.”
About: Hello from Dr. King and Mr. Walker! Dr. King is a working veterinarian who graduated in 2024 while Mr. Walker grew up on a large cattle farm, caring for various animals of all types. We can care for animals of various sizes, exercise requirements, dietary restrictions, and even help with prescriptions or additional medical circumstances. We live 10 minutes from multiple pet-friendly parks, so inquire about park visits. We also have two dogs of our own who can provide a raving review! Feel free to contact us with your request today! Our work schedules vary day to day, but someone will be available at whatever times you need. Let us provide the services you need when you need them. We focus on providing pets with ample exercise and outdoor time. Our home provides enough space for animals to roam and also provides enough sleeping space to house even the largest of pets.
“Jen is AMAZING! We have a small gang of dogs, each with their own unique quirks and personalities (heavy on the quirks). We left them for almost two weeks and I was so nervous but Jen quickly made me feel at ease. She obviously loves what she does, and she is the best at it. My husband even commented that there are people who dog sit, and then there is Jen who is just another level of caring and awareness. She asked so many great questions., I knew my dog's were in good hands. We received plenty of updates and we could see how happy and well taken care of our pups were. We also have a snail and shrimp aquarium which Jen took care of beautifully. I'm so grateful to have found her. Not only were dogs, snails, and shrimp were so well taken care of, our house was just as we left it and perfect. If you are looking for someone to trust everything you love with, you can't do better than Jen.”
“Fantastic!!!!! Lola was soooo happy with her care, as was I. I felt comfortable that Lola was in great hands. She got lots of play and cuddle time. My instructions were followed to the letter. The house was well cared for as well. I was so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism, as well as the level of caring. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy pup! I will definitely rebook 😄🐕❤️”
“Great communication about our dogs. Loved having someone willing to work/ interact with our bird as well - thanks for that! Dogs definitely miss all of the play time for sure”
“Shelbi was absolutely amazing while we were away for 10 days. She took incredible care of our dogs and our home, kept us updated, and gave us real peace of mind the entire trip. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Coming home to happy dogs and everything in perfect shape made the end of vacation so much easier. We would 100% book with Shelbi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring Rover sitter.”
“Liz was fantastic! She sent pictures daily, kept in the loop, and made sure we knew our babies were in good hands. Our dogs aren't overly difficult to care for, but Liz kept in constant contact with us, which is very important to us. She took such good care of them, that after we got home, they spent the first evening looking for her and whining because she had left. 10/ 10. Will continue to use Liz any time we need a dogsitter.”
About: Welcome! If you are looking for a calm, stress-free, 1-on-1 environment for your pet, you have come to the right place. As a veterinarian’s daughter and a full-time professional pet sitter with over 100 5-star reviews, providing attentive, top-tier care tailored to your pet's personality and energy level is my passion. I host only one client family’s pets at a time, ensuring your fur baby receives undivided attention, customized care, and total safety. 🐾Why Choose My Care? 1-on-1 Exclusive Attention: Your pet will never compete with outside animals for love, space, or care. 🐾Veterinary Background: My dad was a veterinarian and I am fully confident administering oral medications, managing special diets, and providing calm care for senior or special-needs pets. 🐾Full-Day Presence: Pet care is my full-time focus. Your pet enjoys constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and structured daily routines. 🐾Tailored Exercise & Backyard Fun: Guests enjoy endless play in my huge, fully fenced backyard. For dogs who love exploring, I am happy to offer trips to nearby parks for leashed walks. (Note: For safety, park walks are reserved for dogs who are fully leash-trained and do not pull heavily. Strong pullers will still get plenty of great exercise in the secure yard!) 🐾Prepared & Accommodating: I provide a clean kennel and dog bed on-site for convenience so you have less to pack, though you are always welcome to bring your own. 🐾Clear Communication: Expect regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and truly spoiled. 🐾Safety & Household Notes Children: Children are listed on my profile because my grandchildren visit occasionally, though they do not live here. If your dog prefers an adult-only environment, I will coordinate schedules so no children are present during their stay. 🐾Meet & Greets: I strongly encourage a quick Meet & Greet prior to booking so everyone feels completely confident and comfortable. ❤️In Hawaiian, a pet caretaker is called a Kahu—a guardian, protector, and steward of something cherished. I take that role to heart and treat every guest like my own. Whether hosting in my home or house-sitting in yours, I look forward to giving your pet a safe, loving home away from home! Full-Time Care & Companionship 🐾 Now that I am retired, pet care is my full-time focus! Your fur baby will enjoy plenty of relaxed companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a consistent daily routine. Your pet will receive endless love, attention, and playtime. They'll have access to a huge, fully fenced backyard, plus trips to nearby parks for walks. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and truly spoiled! Experienced & Trusted!! 🐾 Veterinarian’s Daughter: Expert animal care practices built into my daily routine. 🐾 40+ Years of Experience: Decades of dedicated, hands-on care for pets of all ages and temperaments. 🐾 Fort Worth’s Trusted Nanny: Over 100 5-star reviews and a track record of happy, repeat clients. 🐾 Exclusive Single-Family Stays: I accept only one client family at a time for maximum safety and full attentiveness. 🐾 Senior & Special Needs Care: Highly experienced with aging dogs, complex medical conditions, and mobility needs. 🐾 Medication & Safety: Fully trained in administering oral and injected medications, plus Pet First Aid & CPR certified. A 5-Star VIP Experience!!! 🐾 Tail-Wagging Activities: Daily walks in the park (if requested), active backyard games, basic command reinforcement, and brain-boosting activities like treat puzzles and sniff mats. 🐾 Impromptu Photo Shoots: As a prior professional photographer, I love capturing gorgeous, candid pictures of your fur baby throughout their stay! 🐾 Seamless Communication: Prompt text updates and frame-worthy daily photos so you can enjoy total peace of mind while away. 🐾 Spoiled-Rotten Comfort: Endless belly rubs, soothing ear scratches, couch cuddles, and focused, gentle attention from morning to night. I follow all care instructions, administration of medicine schedules and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while doing my best to stay on their schedule at home that they are used to. My grandchildren sometimes visit to give extra love, but if your dog doesn’t get along with children, they won’t be present. 🐾 Flea & Tick Prevention: For the health, comfort, and safety of all pets staying in my home, I kindly ask that pets be current on flea and tick prevention prior to their stay. I work hard to maintain a clean, flea- and tick-free environment, and this helps protect your pet as well as the other pets in my care. Thank you for helping me keep my home comfortable and safe for everyone! 💕 Certified in CPR & Pet First Aid (08/2025) with verification badges in my photo gallery. I love building long-term relationships so your fur baby looks forward to coming back! For your convenience, I have a kennel available at my home if your pup is crate-trained or enjoys having a cozy space to relax. You’re welcome to use mine, so there’s no need to bring one back and forth unless you prefer to.
About: I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and treat pets like they are part of the family. I would enjoy giving pets the care the need. I currently work a a full time remote position Sun through-Thursday 2 :30 pm - 11:30 pm . I have Friday and Saturday and part of Sunday to help care for your pet. Also, everyday in the morning. I will do as you ask in your home for the care of your pets. I would be glad to walk and clean up the mess in the grass or wherever it may be.
“Rylee was absolutely wonderful! We are so appreciative of her patience with our two pugs. Rylee sent pictures, communicated quickly, and showed genuine care and concern. We can’t say enough nice things about her.”
“Dianne was fantastic! I could tell by how happy my dog was and how clean my house was when I returned home. I enjoyed our meet and greet as well. Strongly recommend her!”
“Melissa was so helpful and reliable when I asked her to help watch my dog Blue 🐶. She was very friendly and super sweet towards my dog, I knew he would be in good hands when I was out of town. She sent me lots of pics and regular updates. I will definitely be reaching out to her again! 😊”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for years and have experience caring for all dog breeds and cats of all sizes. I provide reliable, loving care so your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. While I am watching your fur babies I will gladly take them on walks, feed, and play. I can assure that with my experience your pets are in the best care! I provide pet sitting during the week while working a 9–5, with some availability after hours when arranged in advance. My schedule is flexible with notice, and I’m fully available Fridays through Sundays.i work full time but i am also able to work from home so i can spend more time with the pets! I care for pets in their home by following all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine. I have my own pets and understand how important trust and care are, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I provide a safe, loving environment and truly love all animals, always prioritizing their comfort and well-being. While watching pets I will walk (dogs), clean up litter or after any animal, feed and play. I can follow specific instructions of care for the pets if needed!
About: Beyond caring for my own pets, I have experience providing care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and needs through family, friends, and word-of-mouth referrals. I’ve done everything from walks and meal time to bath time and giving medication (sometimes with a little persuasion and a lot of treats)! I am also an active volunteer with Saving Hope Rescue, which has strengthened my knowledge, reliability, and passion for animal care. I work part-time with a flexible, varying schedule, which allows me to fit in plenty of time for pet care during the week. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting outside of work hours. I’ve also recently applied to master’s programs and look forward to continuing to make pet care a meaningful part of my routine alongside my studies. I provide care right in your home so your pet can stay happy and comfortable in their own space (no stressful changes needed!). I make sure they’re well-fed, walked, played with, and given lots of attention and affection. I also follow any specific routines or instructions closely—whether that’s meals, meds, or favorite game time rituals—so everything feels familiar and stress-free while you’re away.
About: While most of my personal pet-care experience is with cats, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other needs. I’ll also provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your dog is safe and cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to coordinate visits around your animal’s usual feeding schedule and routine whenever possible. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability before confirming a booking. I care for pets in their own home, where they can feel most comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter-box, and household instructions while respecting each animal’s boundaries and personality. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or appetite, cautious with doors and windows, and will provide dependable updates and photos after every visit.
About: I’ve had dogs in my household since the day I was born. I started dog sitting for family friends at the age of 16 and haven’t stopped since. I trained my dog in highschool when she was a puppy and now she is well rounded in all skills! I’m currently working part time and am a full time student but I am very flexible with my schedule! I am always open for overnight stays or just drop ins while you are out. I love going on walks and would be happy to take your dog on one! I have the ability to put a dog in a crate/kennel/house if needed. I will treat your dog like my own. I am very energetic and playful and will keep your dog entertained if needed.
About: I love all animals and have grown up around them my entire life. I have a sister that does rover and I have only heard good things about this Im definitely looking forward to loving on any animals that someone wants to let me help watch! Any time I work remotely and I have my kids every other week so if someone needs a night shift or during the day anything works for me I have a wide open space around 1200 sq foot condo and I have a nice area to walk dogs or a second spare room for the cats to chill in! Also have a cat climbing area inside

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Worth
Stella was amazing!! I had a last minute work trip and couldn’t find care to accommodate my dog anywhere and Stella was so flexible and worked with my schedule. Excellent communicator, sent plenty of updates and pictures, plus super friendly and warm! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future for out of town trips.
Excellent care. Our first time with Summer and will always try to use her. Not only was Katie so happy, but our home was spotless when she left. All dishes and towels were washed and stored properly. Summer sent plenty of pictures and she even stayed late when our flight was delayed
Our absolute favorite, favorite, favorite pet sitter!! She is the kindest, most thorough of any person we have ever had. Our 135 lb dog adores her, as well as our socially anxious cat! We have tried many other Rover sitters, but Lyndsey is by far the best. Hands down we will always choose her!!!
I almost didn’t write this review because we’d love to keep Madison all to ourselves! She’s stayed in our home with our dogs multiple times now, and we trust her completely. We’re comfortable giving her the keys and code to our house and can actually relax while we’re away knowing our dogs and home are in great hands. But the best review really comes from our dogs. They absolutely LOVE her. They go nuts when she walks through the door, fight for her attention, and both go out of their way to sleep in bed with her when she stays over. There’s no better feeling than leaving town knowing your dogs are genuinely excited about the person staying with them. Madison is awesome. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her enough, even if part of us would rather keep her a secret!
Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two Goldens over a long weekend! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending lots of updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dogs were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also went above and beyond by helping with a few extra chores around the house, which was so thoughtful and greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Ayisha is fantastic! She will lover your furbaby as if it was hers. She is so patient and kind. This was our first vacation going out of town in a long time and we were gone for a week. Ayisha also did house sitting for us and took care as if it were her house as well. She also stayed overnight so that our dog wasn't alone. She sent us updates, photos, and video's daily which we loved as I had a bit of anxiety leaving my dog alone for the first time as he gets separation anxiety. We highly recommend Ayisha and she will be the first one we contact if we go out of town again. Thank you again Ayisha for all your wonderful help!
Tania (and her sweet little brother) did an amazing job caring for my two dogs and cat while I was away. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated with plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. She truly went above and beyond, not only making sure my pets were well cared for, but also taking the time to water my garden and keep an eye on things around the house. It's clear she genuinely cares about both the animals and the families she helps. I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Kaylyn was awesome! She was super sweet and sent so many awesome update pictures of our cat. She left our house clean and was responsive and flexible. When our travel plans changed she saved our butt and was able to watch our cat really short notice. We will 100% use her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Worth walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Worth maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Worth choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
