About: I’ve grown up around animals and now care for my own cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities—whether they’re super social, a little shy, or full-on chaotic. I’m patient and calm, which helps a lot when pets are adjusting to a new person or environment. I’m good at picking up on behavior changes and routines quickly, so I make sure pets feel as close to “normal life” as possible while their owners are away. I also have experience with basic training habits like litter consistency, reinforcing routines, and helping nervous pets settle in. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m very attentive to detail, I don’t rush interactions, and I actually enjoy spending quiet time just letting pets warm up at their own pace. I also understand how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated and comfortable while they’re away. Pet care fits into my routine alongside my full-time job. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM, so those days I’m available for early morning check-ins and evening visits after work. I make sure any pets I’m caring for still get consistent attention, feeding, and litter care even on my workdays. On Fridays, weekends, and any time I’m off, I have a lot more flexibility and can do longer visits, more frequent check-ins, or spend extra time with pets if needed. I’m very used to balancing a structured schedule, so I plan ahead and stay consistent with care routines. Since I’m already a cat owner, daily pet care is part of my normal life anyway, so adding Rover visits feels natural and easy to manage responsibly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and responsibility as my own. I follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay on their normal routine as much as possible—feeding times, litter box care, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences they’re used to. On my workdays (Monday–Thursday), I do check-in visits, usually mornings and evenings. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, litter boxes are clean, and they’re doing okay overall. I also take time to give them attention so they don’t feel rushed or lonely. On weekends, I offer in-home sitting and overnight stays. This allows me to spend more consistent time with your pet, keep their routine steady, and provide comfort and companionship throughout the night. I make sure the home stays clean, calm, and secure while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when someone is in your home, so I’m very respectful, careful, and communicative. I always provide updates so you feel reassured and know your pet is safe and cared for.
About: I’ve dog sat and checked on animals for other people I knew my whole life. I have 3 animals myself and know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your babies. I’m currently on summer break until August 1st, so I have lots of free time to drop in on your fury loved ones. I don’t mind coming in the morning, afternoon, or evening as much as you need. While checking on them in your home I will make sure there’s water, food if needed, and if they like treats I will make sure they get a snack before I leave. I want them to feel happy and know they’re taken care of while your away.
About: I’ve owned all sorts of animals all my life, everything from donkeys to ferrets, cats and dogs are a breeze, even the most difficult of characters are easy for me. I’m a full time college student and working as much as I can, im not free certain days of the week/weekend, but I love to pick up last minute sits and help out where I can. I have a very large field and park in my backyard, while it’s not fenced in as long as I’m provided with a well fitted leash/harness I’ll take them out as much as they’d like. For cats, I have multiple cat trees and litter boxes, as well as toys and furniture for lounging

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and currently work at a dog camp as a team lead. There, I care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including those that are nervous or reactive. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, administering basic care, and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m also training under a professional dog behaviorist, giving me valuable skills in understanding body language and providing positive, stress-free care. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets. While my schedule varies, I’m available 3–4 days a week and would love to spend that time with your fur babies! I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I maintain your pet’s routine, keep your home clean and secure, and always respect your privacy—creating a calm, familiar environment for your pets.
“Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.”
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I like cuddle bugs who like to take walks. Large, small I like them all. I don't mind messy and senior dogs are some of my favorites. I work at the prisons in Gatesville. I work 2 to 10 evenings but can still stay the night. My schedule is 6 days on and 3 days off. If you have 3 months advanced notice I can ask for time off to watch your babies I will follow all instructions. Everything your pet needs I will provide. While I work for you, I will make sure your babies have everything they need per your wishes.
About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet.
