“Natalia was absolutely amazing with my 12-year-old pup, Phoenix 🐾—who is definitely a picky, demanding little diva 😄. She handled her meds, nighttime wake-ups, and constant need for affection like a total pro. I got great updates and could tell Phoenix was genuinely comfortable and cared for during her overnight stay. It’s not easy trusting someone with a high-maintenance senior dog, but Natalia made it feel effortless. Will 100% be booking with her again—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have experience providing reliable and loving care for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and monitoring their well-being. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I work at a pet hospital in McAllen Happy to work around Open schedule and happy to accommodate routines.

“I am so happy Joyann was willing to keep our 2 dogs! She was friendly, communicative, and professional. Even though we met briefly, it felt as though I left my dogs with a close friend; my dogs felt comfortable and our entire home was cared for! I also really appreciated the pictures and updates Joyann provided. I recommend her services to anyone and will happily rebook with her in the future! Thank you, Joyann!”

“Meagan was GREAT! She took excellent care of my special needs dogs and kept me updated on how they were doing throughout my trip. She even brought something to my notice that she and I hadn’t specifically discussed. She washed the towels and sheets before she left and even took out the trash and recycling for me. SUCH a good sitter! Will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was young. I love all types of animals and animals tend to love me. I promise to take care of your pet as if it was my own :) I work full-time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule as far as when I can drop in and out. I’m available full-time on the weekends, but my schedule has never interfered with my being able to take care of an animal. I currently sit outside of Rover and now I’m on here :) I’m very observant of animals. I currently have a senior dog and so I’m hyper aware of what he does. So, this makes me hyper aware of other people‘s pets as well.

“Nathalie F. was amazing! My two dogs were happy and healthy when I got home. The house was exactly as I left it, clean and well taken care of. She communicated well throughout the week too. I really couldn't have askes for more. I'll definitely use her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Kaylee, a veterinary technician with a passion for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I understand their unique needs — and I know how to keep them safe, happy, and healthy while you’re away. Because of my background, I’m trained to notice even the smallest changes in behavior or health, administer medications if needed, and provide calm, confident care in any situation. I am currently unemployed due to relocation, so I have full availability and can spend all day caring for your baby if preferred at home! When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest — just as you would. I make sure they have plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise while maintaining the same rules and boundaries they’re used to.
“Alison did an awesome job at watching Pachanga and Abu! She sent updates and pictures throughout the days she was here and came home to happy dogs. Will definitely use again for any future needs. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a toddler, and I currently own two senior dogs and a cat. I’ve volunteered at pet shelters while in college, and am ready to share the love! I’m currently a part time student, and have plenty of free time. I’m available after 3PM on the weekdays, and completely free on the weekends. I have two dogs and usually let them free roam around the house during the day and crate them at night. However, each pet owner has their own routine that I am more than willing to follow.
About: I have years of professional veterinary experience working with animals, I am dog/cat CPR certified, and I have my own personal experience raising and training animals. I work full time doing dog/cat sitting so any job I get I will definitely make the time for, and I will be willing to dedicate my time to any job. I ensure that the pets are happy and always well taken care of, whether they need water, food, attention, toys, etc. I make sure they have it and are well taken care of.
About: My experience as a CNA and EMT sets me apart, as I provide safety-focused, dependable, and compassionate care. I am skilled in caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals requiring extra attention, ensuring peace of mind for every owner. I am currently unemployed and am available full-time. I can make a personal, detailed schedule for you. You need to feel safe with your pet caregiver. I would require a list of requirements that you would like me to follow. My gentle care for your animal will ensure they have a home away from home.
About: The truth is; i am gifted when it comes to animals. But dogs are my heart. They are clear communicators, and when their needs are met, they are a joy. All ages and breeds welcome. Can also offer gentle or strict parenting/training/guidance on request. Pet care is simple; ensuring the animals safety and specific needs are being met, while also paying attention and being aware of their cues. A constant combination of attentiveness, exercise, hygiene, and nutrients. Plenty of love and clean water, always. Caring for animals is about being present. Being in tune with both their needs and desires. For my fur babies, I always make sure that their needs are taken care of before my own, just like a child. If the parents of the fur babies I am caring for have specific instructions, I am great at that as well. You know your babies better than anyone.
About: I have taken care of animals because I really enjoy being around them and I know I’m a good fit for them I love it I don’t work so it fits perfectly with my schedule I rarely go out I’m usually home but sometimes I head out on the weekend I have a apartment it’s fencend but it would be better and the clients home because it will be more safer for the dog/cat im taking care of
About: I've taken care of different personality cats, dogs including my birds. I have pet-sat for friends and family. I look forward to working with you but most of all with your furbaby & maybe teaching a new trick! I am currently working mostly during the day but I have some flexibility where you need me. I have evenings & weekends available for your convenience. My yard is fenced and my furbabies will gladly welcome yours. I have crates handy if you prefer. there is a cute dog park nearby we burn off any extra zoomies!
About: With a passion for animals well being, i’ve dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets in need. I had my first dog when i was 5, and ever since then, i’ve dedicated my whole life to taking care of him with my whole heart. Now he’s 12 years old and still very healthy and energetic as when he was a little boy. My family, and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets and i am always happy to do so since i love dogs with my whole heart and am always happy to meet any new furry friends and get to know them!! I’m currently a freshman in college pursuing a degree in Sonography, while working a part time job. On Mondays and Wednesday, I have class at 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have class at 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. I am available in the morning before my classes or after my classes whenever i don’t have work. Taking care of your pets will be a pleasure to me, and I will love it after a long and stressful day. In my home, dogs are supervised and able to roam freely in a safe space. I do have a Chihuahua who can be protective, so I manage interactions carefully and keep dogs separated if needed. Because of this, I often prefer caring for pets in the client's home, where they can stay comfortable in their own environment. I always follow the owner's instructions and make sure pets are well cared for, safe, and given plenty of attention.
