“Ren took great care of our house and Jake, our dog, while away for a long 4 day weekend. She sent updates and pictures, daily. I would highly recommend her and hope to be able to have her help again. Thank you, Ren!”
“We had a great experience with Alexis. She was very communicative, kept us updated, and was always prompt and reliable. We felt she genuinely cared about our dogs and their routines. We were completely at ease knowing our pups were in such capable, attentive hands and would happily book with her again.”
About: I absolutely love animals, I have grown up with them throughout my entire life, Dog's are especially special to me, I have had one by my side since I was old enough to know what a dog was. I would be a great pet sitter because I love meeting all critters and creatures and I would take care of your animal like my own . I have 2 fur-children of my own, Major Tom (Maine Coon) & Penny (Dachshund). They are my world! I do have experience as a veterinary receptionist/vet tech and worked at Southridge animal Hospital for four years. I am well-versed in how to do diabetic injections, giving animals their medication’s on schedule, making sure they have a healthy diet and exercise. I have a deep knowledge of animal behavior. I want to keep all animals, healthy, and safe and loved! Looking forward to taking care of some furry little angels! I have no problem spending extra time, snuggling and playing and just being there for comfort . Animals get lonely and honestly getting the chance to hang out and love on them and spend some extra time does not bother me at all! I would pet it for a lot of the clients that came to the animal hospital. I worked at and I do still see a couple from time to time when they need it and having a medical background with animals is very useful at times and an understanding of animal medicine. Hope to get to meet your loved ones! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies needs! I am very flexible and I was born and raised in Denton Texas so I know the area very well. I know where all the dog parks are. I can walk with them give them baths, even nail trims from when I learned at the animal hospital. I have a fenced in backyard if your pets ever needed to come to my house, I also have crates and my siblings have extra pins for their kids that work well for puppies that I could always bring over if need be and baby gates. I do also have extra leashes.
“Tania was so nice, trustworthy and on time. She communicates great. She sent updates and pictures while we were gone. She’s a very nice person and I definitely will be using her again.”
About: I treat every dog like my own- prioritizing safety, consistency, and lots of love. Whether it’s a quick drop walk or extended sitting, I pay attention to your dogs unique personalities and needs. You’ll get dependable service, clear communication, and a happy, well cared for pup every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be flexible, attentive, and available throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. I’m available anytime and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs, including early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated like part of my daily life, getting plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care for each pet in the comfort of their home, adjusting my routine based on the service that you book. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter cleaning, and spend quality time with your pet- whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For dogs walking, I ensure safe, engaging walks tailored to your dogs energy level, followed by water and a quick check in before I leave. For pet sitting or extended stays, I maintain your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, exercise, medication(if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! We have senior dogs and sometimes they need a little extra help. She communicated everything through the duration of our booking and sent pictures of all our pets. She truly cares for your pets so I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Alissa was very conscientious and took great care of our two very large dogs, sending us pictures and updates regularly via text. She also watered some plants, collected mail, etc. We are looking forward to booking her in the future.”
“My fur babies absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone they bonded with so quickly. She kept me updated and I came home to very happy pets. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”
“Carrie was so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She understood their personalities and was patient, kind, and loving with them. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter to leave our babies with. We'll definitely be looking for Carrie for our future sitting needs.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with Gordon. She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending frequent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also handled an unexpected change in plans with grace and flexibility when my family arrived before I did, staying with Gordon until I got home and making sure everything was taken care of exactly as needed. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and the people who trust her with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and Gordon and I are so grateful for her help!”
“Danielle watched my four dogs for nine days and it was amazing. I didn’t have to worry at all. She sent me pictures and updates daily will definitely be using her again.”
“Thank you so very much Casandra for taking amazing care of our fur baby while we were on vacation and even staying over longer when we ran into some travel delays. You were amazing as always!”
About: I love caring for pets as if they were my own! I have years of experience with dogs, puppies, and other animals, including those who need medications or extra attention. I enjoy spending time with multiple pets at once and giving each one the love and engagement they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and promise to go above and beyond in every visit. I’m a college student who has classes M/W/F. So I have 5 days out of the week that I’m available to provide services for animals. For house sitting, I am available all week! Every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding and potty routines to medications and favorite games — and adjust to your pet’s needs with patience and understanding. My goal is to create a calm, happy environment where your furry friend feels right at home.
“Abigail was very communicative and sent lots of pics while we were away. This made us feel like she was being cared for and reassured. We will definitely book again if a need arises!”
About: I have hands on experience working with dogs in a professional kennel and daycare environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I am attentive and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and know how important extra patience, comfort, and attention can be. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they are my own and want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work mornings during the week and get off at 1 PM most days, giving me afternoons and evenings available around my classes. I’m especially available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also flexible with drop-ins and can work with each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep owners updated so they know their pets are in good hands.
“Vicki is amazing! I had to book super last minute because I was worried about leaving my cat alone, and she was so nice and willing to help. She stayed with him overnight, gave him lots of attention and playtime, and honestly helped calm my nerves so much knowing he was with someone who cared. She was super sweet, reliable, and easy to communicate with. My cat seemed so happy and comfortable with her! I would definitely book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Krum
Callie had our pups over Fourth of July weekend, which is a stressful time for them with all the fireworks and they did really well! We appreciate her care and attention to them. She’s good about informing us when something comes up as well so there’s no surprises.
Jessica was very good with our dogs - walking them a couple times a day. We have frenchies and they are pretty needy - she stayed at our house and was attentive to them. It’s nice when the dogs were happy upon my arrival home - makes leaving them easier. Jessica is very personable - we will use her again!
Wonderful human who works with my crazy work schedule and actually took care of my dog!! Showed up when she said she would, went above and beyond for my dog in the little things and extra walks. Showed real care and support for my senior mama doggo! Best sitter so far!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Krum walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Krum maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Krum choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
