House Sitting in Happy Bend

“Lily was so patient with our high-energy dogs. She gave consistent updates and left our house so clean! We will definitely request her again.”

“Alicia was really quick to respond to my booking. She did really well following my special accommodations for my dogs. My dogs seemed to love her as well.”

Alana D.

“Meghan was great! She housesat for us for a few days and did a great job taking care of our three dogs. They can be quite a handful and also require some medication daily. She did a great job communicating and sent plenty of updates. She took great care of our home as well! We will definitely use Meghan again!”

“This was our first experience using Rover so my wife and I were slightly nervous, however after meeting Spirit and seeing how she was with Roland we decided to give it a shot. While we were gone we received pictures and videos daily letting us know our boy was in the best possible hands. Roland can’t wait for the next time!”

“Lisa was really awesome with my Great Dane. She came early so my girl wouldn't be alone and it made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my time away from my girl. I highly recommend Lisa for all your pet needs. She stepped in for me last minute after another sitter canceled on me a day before my trip. Lisa is a very sweet lady.”

About: I’ve had animals in the house since I was about 6years old! Ranging from mastiffs, retrievers, hounds and feisty little terriers. I’ve also had lizards and now live with cats just a wide range of animals. I left a career fulfilling my goal since I was about 4 years old, being a veterinary student at the university of Glasgow learning more about animal care by the day, to pursue mental health therapy for families and children. But!! The passion and love for animals will always be there. I’ve spent over 2 years previously working in animal shelters and in various veterinary clinics which care for as well as board! I have 3 current dogs back home in the texas, 2 of which we got as puppies and I house trained. All my dogs are now ages 2, 6 , and 7 going from small, medium to large! I love all animals and have much experience caring for the best behaved and despite being very beautiful and loving pets, challenging friends of ours! I’m a current student, so I go to class most often from 9-12 am 4 days a week! In the afternoons and often on Tuesdays ( often on Tuesday I’m home most if not all day) this schedule is slightly variable but not by much. I’m generally away from home no more than 3-4 hours a day. But my schedule is very flexible having time to take dogs out mornings, for early lunch, and have all the time in the world to play in the afternoon/ night! Sundays and Saturday afternoons/ nights are perfect sitting days for me as I’m home working on school very consistently. But during the week works well just the same! My roommate has a very sweet cat named Marcus! He’s basically a dog with how friendly and open he is. We have a large backyard space where many dog owners in this flat area take their pets to run around and in the front of the flat there is another garden area with trees and lots of space to run and have fun! On top of this there is space in the flat both in the living room and my room to stretch legs and be quite comfortable! For others homes I of course am extremely respectful of your home property and am there to take care of your precious family member we love to call pets!

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for years, and I have two of my own—so I get it. I’m super dependable, really patient, and honestly just love being around animals. I care about doing things right and making sure every dog feels safe and happy. Right now I don’t have much going on, so I’m super flexible and can fit pet care in pretty much anytime. I’m taking a class, but I can work that around whatever schedule is needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, just being honest, but my dogs are super friendly and love other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed or keep them separate—we have a whole downstairs area I can stay in with them if that’s more comfortable. I’m also happy to take them on walks as often as needed to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention.

“Brittany was great with Ruger! She took fantastic care of him and our home. He is a pretty anxious guy, and there were severe storms, and she was so great with him and let him be as close to her as he needed to be. He loved having her here. We will definitely be using her again! It was so nice having her here to take care of him and to be in our house with him so we didn’t have to worry about anything.”

Casey W.

“Arian was great with Ryder! We loved the updates & pictures from him while we were out of town. 10/10 recommend! We will be repeat clients!”

Felicia S.

“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and farm animals since I was 15. Many family members, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe there fur babies for many years ! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during the day to take care of my client’s sweet fur babies after work! I have a big fenced in backyard with 3 very young and friendly dogs for your pets to play with, with your permission of course!

About: Hi! I'm Linda and I'm also a dog mom. I know what it means to love your fur babies and I want the best for yours too! My fur-baby is dog-friendy, but I do have the ability to kennel her or make arrangements for her to stay somewhere else if that is what makes you most comfortable. She has been spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. I am very flexible and work from home. I am able to do cash discounts as well. My only condition is that your pet(s) be friendly and that I have the opportunity to spend some time with you and your pet before the first service. I feel that building a trusting working relationship with an animal makes all the difference in their happiness and comfort. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby! I have a fenced in yard and like to go on walks. I'm also happy to provide photo updates on instagram and by text for you of your dog on walks or boarding daily. Playing dress up is no extra charge!

About: I bring 24 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes— dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, and even farm animals like goats and pigs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I can also administer medication! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I love making time to connect with animals of all kinds. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I prioritize creating a consistent and loving routine for the pets I care for. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet's unique needs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve, no matter the time of day. Whether l'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I create a welcoming, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. For pets with specific routines or needs, I ensure those are followed to keep them stress-free.

About: I am a college student currently pursuing a Biology degree that will be used for entry into veterinary school. I have owned and solely cared for my dogs for over 5 years and have worked at a doggy daycare over the summer. I have experience in all stages of dog life, including puppies and seniors! I also love to give spa days to doggies. I would do anything for my dogs :) I am currently free for the summer, so I will be available everyday of the week until school begins in August. Once school begins, I will be free on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day as well as weekends. Any unsafe items are placed out of reach and toys/treats are always kept hidden to prevent issues with guarding. I live in an apartment and usually take my dogs for long walks in parks. My dogs are completely vaccinated and I am very knowledgeable on sanitary practices to prevent any illness between animals. I also know CPR and basic first aid!

About: Hello! My name is Tara Shewmaker. My Mom and I have decided to open our home to care for dogs! I do work, but my Mom, Becky, is retired and flexible. We work together to give your fur babies the best care possible. I have grown up with a house full of animals and my Mom does transport for dog rescue organizations. We have 2 mature dogs at our home that are older, but still very active! Remy, age 7, is a Shar Pei mix and is a kind soul even when dogs with less than nice manners act out towards him. He is the best mentor dog that gets along with everyone and all animals. Oscar is our 14 YO Maltese mix, he loves to sleep and bark. Let me know what your doggy needs are and I will do my best to accommodate you! I work, but my Mom, Becky is retired, and she is subsequently flexible and available. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a medium backyard with a privacy fence. We also have a doggy door to a large deck for lounging. Of course you are welcome to visit and view our home at drop off or by appointment before.

About: Grew up around anything from cats to cattle, took care of all my friends dogs, and had a brown lab myself. I would have a dog if I could, but finding places that accept pets is hard. I love walking and playing with dogs- and do not mind cleaning up after the messes that dogs manage to generate given the slightest opportunity. I work until 8 am on Wednesday-Friday and 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Outside of that time I’m more than happy to walk, watch, or care for anyone’s pets. I like the mindset that you should like every animal, but understand every animal won’t like you. Being tall, a lot of animals are skiddish around me, but patience usually solves any behavioral issues when it comes to animals. I also believe that keeping a clean environment and tidying up after pets is crucial.

“Katie H. sent only relevant messages, arrived on time and was gracious above and beyond expectations. I first booked two dogs, Mandy and Clarice. At the last minute she agreed to my adding a third dog, Winnie. Clarice was old, was diabetic and was not friendly due to her condition. Mandy was a normal, active 3-year old and Winnie was a 5-month old puppy. Katie sent us a couple of photos, and all three dogs were perfectly calm when we arrived after our event. This was my first experience with Rover.com, and I am truly impressed thanks to Katie.”

About: My grandpa was an equine veterinarian, so I grew up helping him take care of all animals. Dogs just so happened to become my favorite! I’m currently working a later day shift, so I have plenty of time in the early day to enjoy playing & taking care of pets! I live in an apartment at the moment, so I don’t plan on bringing clients animals into my home. Though I have a fenced in patio that my dog enjoys!

About: I’ve taken care of (mostly) cats and dogs since I was a little girl, and more recently been providing services to walk, feed and bathe neighbors and friends pets. I am currently a full time college student at UCA, with my degree I am fully online. With my degree being fully online I am available any day or time during the week and weekend. The safety of your pets is my first priority, I will treat your pets the same way I would want someone else to treat mine.
