“Faith took such great care with our fur baby. Thankful to have her to step in when we can’t be there. Piper was so comfortable with Faith which made us not being there easier on her. We look forward to many more trips, knowing that Faith will step in and take care of everything! Thank you Faith for an exceptional job and the love and care you gave! Its very much appreciated!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and single mom of two who has always had pets as part of my family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and am comfortable with other animals as well. I provide house and pet sitting during the times my kids are with their dad, which allows me to fully focus on your pets and your home. I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekends and major holidays, and I understand the importance of routines, clear communication, and responsibility. I take pride in keeping homes clean and organized—and I always try to leave things better than I found them. Your pets will be cared for with patience, attention, and lots of love, just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time teacher and work weekdays from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m home and able to devote my time and attention to your pets. I attend church on Sundays and Wednesday evenings, but otherwise keep a predictable, low-key schedule. When I accept a booking, your pets become a priority in my daily routine. I’m intentional about planning my time around their needs—whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, or simply being present so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable and able to stick to their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have a fenced yard, this also allows me to safely meet each pet’s individual needs without disrupting their environment. I follow the pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and bedtime routines. I’ve found that consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress while their owners are away. I take time to help each animal feel calm and at ease—whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. My goal is always to provide care that feels familiar, loving, and dependable, so your pet stays happy and comfortable in your absence.

“Paige did a great job caring for our dogs. We hope she will care for them in the future.”

“Chloe’ was such a lifesaver!! My dogs usually go to a doggie daycare/boarding facility but they were full the day I needed some help. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous but Chloe’ came over the day before to meet my 2 dogs. They absolutely loved her! I always give an heads up to anyone taking care of them because they can be very excited, over reactive, and very playful. I needed her to be at my house the next morning at 05:30 am and she was there by 05:25 am. My husband was home by 6.00 pm and the dogs seemed to be happy and well taken care of.”

“Renee was an amazing find! So helpful and flexible with my last minute travel plans. Was amazing with my special doggies, made them comfortable enough in her home for them to settle right in (which is not typical 1st day behavior for them). Thanks so much! 🤗💝🎉🐶🦮”

“Raechel is incredible! She is reliable and trustworthy. She took great care of our two dogs for a week. They loved her! We came back to clean house too. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her.”

About: I’m not sure if I have more or less skills but I’ll always try. I have tons of patience and care for animals so even if my skills are the best I think I’ll do great. My schedule is pretty scattered but I love animals so I’ll definitely make time for them. College is really get to me so I need the money and getting to play w animals is such a bonus. I will treat them like they are my own. I will show them the respect they deserve even though they are animals. They have feelings too.

“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.”

“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.”

Ruby J.

“Kali is absolutely AMAZING! She took great care of Waylon while I was out of town on business. She kept to his schedule and sent me pictures often! Kali is highly reliable and trustworthy with your animals!”

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, specializing in dog sitting and dog walking. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My dog-sitting experience includes feeding, administering medications if needed, and providing a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. As a dog walker, I prioritize exercise and mental stimulation, tailoring walks to each dog’s energy level and needs. I am attentive to their behavior, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My passion for animals and responsible approach make me a reliable and caring pet caregiver. Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling dog walking and sitting around my other responsibilities. I can set aside specific time slots each day for dog walks, ensuring that each pet gets the exercise and attention they need. For dog sitting, I can plan my schedule in advance to accommodate overnight stays or extended care, making sure I provide a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs. By balancing my commitments and being organized, I can efficiently manage pet care while still having time for personal tasks. Prioritizing consistency and flexibility allows me to provide reliable and loving care for every pet I look after. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to keep the pet’s routine consistent. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, and any special care required, such as administering medication or grooming. I also ensure the home stays clean and secure, giving pet owners peace of mind while they are away. Whether in my home or theirs, my priority is to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care.

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 3 years, she is a pitbull so I am good with dogs of all breeds and most importantly strength! I have taken care of all dogs of all ages. I get off work fairly early and I am off on the weekends so I like to keep myself busy, I think the best way to stay busy is to do something you enjoy and animals bring me happiness. My dog always have water and would spend at least 1-2 hours a day outside. When I watch other peoples dogs I make sure they have water and spend a little time outside to play and run around.

About: Hello! My name is Katherine, but you can call me Alex (less formal and easier to remember) I've been around many kinds of pets all my life! Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even some fish and I have always treated them with the highest amount of care and respect! So no matter what, you can trust that I will love, care for, and respect your pets as much as you do I don't have a job currently, so I'm pretty free up all the time. I can't do boarding or care at my residence, but I can do whatever care you need at your home. I can do whatever is needed, feeding, watering, walking, brushing, nail trims, baths, sneaking in the cheeky pill for the stubborn dog or cat. Basically any care you need from me, I can do.

About: I’ve always had pets and there is nothing I love more than animals! I’ve been the neighborhood dog sitter for 4 years. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a year before I left for college! I am currently a Senior at UCA and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I could come early in the morning, the afternoon and later at night. I also spend a lot of my time in Fort Worth in the Summers! I do own a car so transportation is not an issue at all. I would be more than happy to stay with your animals and make them feel as comfortable as possible. My dog is not very social so I wouldn’t be able to watch your pet in my house.

About: I feel a strong connection to animals. & really enjoy spending time with them & caring for them. Seeing a pet happy, makes me happy also. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule & would like the opportunity to help some clients on a regular basis if they have the need for a routine. I do believe in keeping pets safe. I don’t allow any pet I am caring for to walk off leash, unless we are in a safe fenced area.

About: I have been house and animal sitting for my family and family friends since I was 15! I love to go on walks and be outside in nature, and would love to take your animals with me! I love animals of any and all kinds, but I have a soft spot for rescues and senior dogs. My experience includes over night stays, day time visits, and longer periods of care. I work part time at Hendrix College! I only work on weekends days, so I am completely free on the weekends! I am done with work at 2pm on Mondays and Tuesdays, and 4pm Wednesday-Friday! In client’s homes I care for pets by taking them outside to use the bathroom as required, if not more. I also spend ample time playing with them and making sure they get all of their energy out! If they are allowed, I am happy to allow animals into the bed for cuddles at night! I love to love on animals!
