About: My journey with animals started when I was a kid; I remember my very first dog. He was a lab mix, and his name was Dopey. He was indeed dopey, and I loved him more for it. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to always be around animals. My professional career began in 2019 as a bather at a common Petstore. I worked there for a few months before deciding I wanted a more personal environment to care for the animals and get quality time with them, so I left corporate to work for mom and pop grooming salons, daycares and boarding facilities. To gain more knowledge to help care for the animals, I attended Animal Behavior College in Vet Assistance and obtained my Animal CPR certification. With that in hand, I decided to work in a vet office to help further educatemyself for the animals. While working at a Vet Office, I became a Lead Bather and quickly gravitated toward special needs, aggressive and elderly pups. I currently work at a mom and pop grooming Salon in Allen, Tx. I'm working part-time at a grooming salon, so I have plenty of availability to work with. I have early morning availability for walks and home visits and availability after 3:30pm. I have 2 furniture kennels and a pop up kennel. I have multiple running water fountains through my home. I have two dogs of my own, who are walked 4 to 5 times a day. We tend to do short walks in grass during the heated afternoons.
“So grateful for Tristan watching our cats last minute before a road trip! He connected really well with our cat who has some separation anxiety and that’s what we were hoping for! It’s hard to leave him knowing he can literally worry himself sick but when we got back both cats were doing and feeling great. We’ll definitely hire Tristan again when we’re out of town!”
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”
“Kathy and Jeremy are absolutely incredible. Sent wonderful updates and made my trip away so much less stressful because I knew my fur baby was being loved. Will be using in the future whenever I travel.”
About: We’ve always had dogs growing up and I’ve learned to care for them from a young age. We now have three dogs at home and we couldn’t be happier. I’ve cared for small dogs to big dogs, to guinea pigs, fish, and turtles. I’ve cared for senior dogs and trained puppies as well. I’m currently working a part time hybrid position from Tuesday-Saturday, 8am-3pm. So I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am open weekends and night times as well. I have a fenced backyard that can safely accommodate your pet as well as a playful and submissive Australian Shepherd who loves to make new friends.
About: Growing up I always had animals around me. My childhood dog, Twinkie was a cute little yappy Pomeranian. She was a picky eater, but would always save a treat in her bowl and only ate it with me after I came home from school. In high school I volunteered at the local Wildlife Rescue where I cared for various small injured animals. I was responsible for feeding and weighing them, cleaning their cages, raising meal worms, and even got to observe surgeries. After college I lived a veterinarian so I am used to caring for random foster animals without notice. I work from home with a flexible schedule to care for animals. I can type on my computer in the same room your pet naps. I can take your pet on walks at any time needed, though I recommend mornings and evenings due to the current heat outside. I cook and clean for all of my own meals and can do the same for your pet. I can schedule cuddles or play time as needed throughout the day as well. :) I have a downstairs lounge, an upstairs living room, and a few bonus rooms in which your pet can relax. There are no other animals or plants in these areas. Crating is fine, but I prefer animals to have more space and freedom to move about. If I am coming to your home I am happy to follow any rules or special instructions you may have. During down times I will be using my laptop quietly in the same room as your pet.
About: I'm new to Rover but a veteran at caring for pets and homes! As a retired civilian police support staffer, you can't have a safer, more trustworthy person in your home. Not only do you get a huge pet lover taking care of your babies, you also have the luxury of a trained veteran looking after your house and valuables, at no extra cost! I've been fingerprinted, polygraphed, background checked, and fully vetted for more than 22 years. You'll receive detailed daily updates - with photos - by text or email, and your babies will receive all the pets, scritches, love, walks and play time they want! I've had cats since I was 10, and most have been special needs in one way or another. One needed four pills daily in different combinations (half pill, whole pill, 1x, 2x, etc.). Another was diabetic and needed insulin shots twice a day. Currently, I live with Ellie, a rescue cat who is 18 and needs a liquid steroid nightly and regular B12 injections, and Gracie, a rescue cat who is 15 and has no needs other than a lap to sit in and hands to pet her. My spouse has a deaf dog, Helen, who loooves me, and the feeling is mutual! She doesn't get along well with most other dogs, and my cats don't appreciate visitors, so I can't board or otherwise watch pets in my own home, but I'm always available to visit your home! I am currently semi-retired and working for myself from home now. I want to enjoy being my own boss and keep my days and most evenings open for any opportunity that arises. As as 22+ year civilian police support staffer, you can rest assured that your pet AND your home are safe with me. I will treat both with the utmost care and respect and take time for an in-depth discussion to learn your needs and wishes beforehand. Not only is your pet in safe, capable hands, you get the added value of experienced eyes keeping watch over your home and valuables!

She even brought her sweet dog to play with mine ! I couldn’t imagine anyone else better than this wonderful lady to watch your dog you will feel delighted and comfortable to know that she takes such good care of your sweet baby while you’re gone !”
Jason C.
“As a veterinarian, I’ve met countless pet lovers and caregivers—but few have the natural connection with animals that Jason does. He’s not just reliable; he genuinely enjoys being around the pets he cares for, and they clearly feel the same way. Whenever he pet-sits for me, I can see on our home cameras that the moment he walks in, he’ll flop onto the couch—and within seconds, both my dog and cat are curled up in his lap. It’s their favorite cuddle spot, and it’s become part of their routine when he’s around. That kind of comfort and trust from animals speaks volumes. I always know my pets are in loving, capable hands when I’m away. He’s attentive, gentle, and calm under pressure—whether he’s giving meds, managing quirks in behavior, or just making sure everyone feels safe and settled. I truly wish he hadn’t relocated to Texas, because finding someone with that kind of intuitive, compassionate care isn’t easy. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family—and who your pets will instinctively trust—he's your person.”

Hidden Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Matt was an impeccable sitter staying in our home with our two Samoyeds. I have to say, my husband and I were floored when we got home and our dogs were watching dog TV with classic music playing in the background! It was like a spa. Matt gave wonderful updates over our trip. He is a PRO. I hope our schedules work out to have Matt over every time. Thank you, Matt!!!
Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!
Truly the best dog sitters ever! We have had them watch our boys 3x now and every time they are nothing short of amazing. Super communicative, friendly, and provide consistent updates so we know our fur babies are well taken care of while we’re away. We are very particular about our dogs and Jermey & Kathy take that seriously and do everything to keep their normal schedule and routine while we’re away. Highly recommend, 11/10!
