“Jill took care of Lady our dog for 8 days. She did a three time check in for us, and did a wonderful job for us. We would highly recommend her and plan on using her in the future.”
“Marjorie did an amazing job watching all of our home & cats! I appreciate the time and thought that she put into making sure that she knew (and did) what we needed to ensure that we could travel with no concerns.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and energetic pups. I make sure each pet gets personalized care, attention, and affection based on their unique needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week to focus on caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, daily walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling to match your pet’s routine. Your pet will always get consistent attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I provide a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I always supervise outdoor time, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and can crate your dog if you prefer or if it helps them feel secure. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for.
About: I've had many dogs ranging from senior to puppy and love them all with their different quirks. All animals require something different and am willing to jump in to whatever they need! I am currently a freshman at TTU in the Pre-veterinary track. Outside of my set class schedule I am free to whenever you need me! I love walking dogs and playing with them. Whatever you ask such as crating I am more than willing to take care of. I do not mind I will listen to what your pet needs and make it happen.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life. When family friends have gone out of town I have watched their dog or their cat along with taking care of my dogs and cat. Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.
About: Hi. I’m just your typically girl who started watching dogs on the side as a favor and it turned into so much more! Developing a love for dogs (I’ve always been a cat lover), and finding the joy they bring into a room! I’m here to help you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby for however long & update you on all your daily furbaby pics! I’ve been taking care of animals for 10+ years, and it’s a fun way to earn a little extra money! I have 1 kitty myself, and she’s a hoot! Let me help you! I am a restaurant manager but hours are flexible. You tell me your needs and I can usually accommodate with my job. I have my own cat, so I’m use to having someone around daily I have lots of open area to take your fur baby on a walk if needed or just to burn some energy. Whatever you need, I’m your girl.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

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 .
