“Elizabeth is wonderful! She has helped me out a couple of times now with very short notice, she is wonderful I. Her care, and the animals (dog annd two cats) all love her! Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for over 40 years. Friend and family have relied on numerous occasions to watch their dogs while they were out of town. I retired after 30 years from teaching in 2021. I currently work part time from home doing scheduling, invoicing and estimates for a local AC company. I take my two dogs on walks twice a day. In addition I sit on the patio with them in the morning and evening so they can have outdoor time. I have them in scheduled feeding times
“Destani was very responsive to messages and always made sure to respond very quickly. She did a great job watching our cat while we were away and made sure to send pictures and give updates with every visit. I was thankful to have her as a pet sitter, she even made sure to keep up with the scheduled visits despite a tropical storm happening! I will definitely book her in the future when needed.”

“Jazmin is 10/10! Absolutely incredible and professional across the board. She treats our pets as if they’re her own. She also goes an extra mile to keep us updated and sends up pictures of them! Highly recommend!!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I’ve lived with dogs and cats for most of my life and have spent the past ten years caring for others’ animals as well. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and have worked with many different cat personalities. I have plenty of experience administering medications (oral and injections), bathing, feeding, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment based on your baby’s needs. I also have experience caring for reptiles (including lizards, turtles/tortoises, and snakes) and small animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. Your pets will be safe, loved, and well looked after under my care! I’m happy to discuss any accommodations or concerns. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! I have a very flexible schedule and wide availability due to having a part time job that allows me to choose my hours and days I work. I can provide whatever services are needed. I offer walks/exercise, bathing, feeding, medicating, entire day/overnight stays, quick check ins, and more based on desired needs.
About: I’ve had cats for the last five years and have the most experience with them. I’m an animal lover and can’t wait to give your babies all the loving while you enjoy your time away. Happy to also care for small to medium sized dogs. I currently work part time so I have a ton of flexibility with my schedule to meet the needs you have for your babies. Can make mornings or evenings work any day of the week. Because I live in an apartment, pets cannot come to my home, but I can do both drop in visits or stay longer term in your home based on your needs.
About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have lifelong experience caring for animals and a deep love for dogs. I currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle who I care for daily, including walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. He has helped me learn patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s individual needs. I’ve also cared for a guinea pig and have been around dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I’m attentive, calm, and focused on making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full time from 7–4, so I’m available in the evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also have full availability on weekends, which allows me to provide extended care, boarding, and extra attention when needed. I’m committed to making sure pets are cared for consistently and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide a safe and caring environment for pets in my home. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, routines, and any special needs. I also have my own friendly dog, which can provide companionship if appropriate, helping visiting pets feel more comfortable and at ease. I prioritize safety, structure, and a calm environment so pets feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Hoa is AMAZING!! My dog is very hyper and he handled him perfectly!! He sent me so many videos and photos so I knew how my pup was doing!! I will definitely be booking Hoa in the future!!”


About: I'm a life-long pet owner and animal lover. I am a responsible, caring, thoughtful adult who understands the necessity of providing care to pets at the times requested and with the services as discussed. I am great at learning and adapting to the preferences of your household and pet(s) and look forward to exceeding your service expectations! I'm a fully remote employee with a flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and I don't have children, so I have infinite flexibility without having to worry about school or activity schedules. I will treat your home with the utmost care and respect, as I do my own. I pride myself on leaving spaces better than I found them when I can. I am highly sensitive to safety and security of home environments including fences, door locks, and windows. I love to be active with pets when they want my love and attention, I'm equally happy to sit calmly and read a book if they just need a loving presence.
“Really appreciated her she was great and my animals loved her. I was so nervous leaving my dog because she has super bad separation anxiety and had never been with out us before, but she was great with getting her to go outside and giving them all lots of love! Definitely recommend! :))”

About: Hi, I'm McKenzie! I'm a mom based in Frisco who genuinely loves animals and treats every dog I sit or walk like my own. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, whether it's a quick walk around the block or an overnight stay. Having a busy household myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm especially comfortable with dogs who need a calm, steady presence, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you can see your pup is happy and well cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
“Shiru has watched my cat (who is very shy, and a little spicy) several times now and has been excellent every time! This past time, a leak appeared in my home and maintenance had to drop by unexpectedly while I was out of town. Shiru was so helpful in coming over to make sure my cat was safe and separated from the maintenance crew who were cutting open my walls. Thank you Shiru!!”

“Francesca did a superb job, on time, responsive and everything you could ask for in a dog sitter. Highly recommend your dogs will love her as will you! Thank you so much!”

About: **About me** I love all animals...haven't ever met a furry, feathered or scaly friend that I didn't get along with. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic in Frisco and have been working in the Vet Med field for over 6 years, but taking care of all types of babies for over 20 years. I would love the chance to care for your “kids” while you are away or just give them some extra attention during the day if you are working long hours. I have experience with administering medication for dogs and cats, senior and/or puppy & kitten care and other special needs such as anxiety or stress. **About my home/services** Currently, I'm unable to offer in home service at my home. But, I would be more then happy to come to your home for check-ins or to stay overnight if needed. I would also enjoy taking your pup out for some much needed playtime or if you need pickup/drop off service, I can assist with that as well. **About my neighborhood** I live in a great neighborhood with several parks, sidewalks that will provide safe walking for us and a nearby lake which all make for great playtime and fun adventures. **What to expect** While your baby is in my care; they will enjoy walks, we can throw the ball, and of course plenty of cuddles. I can also provide extra special care for the senior dogs/cats or any pet with special needs, I have plenty of experience in that area. I will provide daily updates filled with plenty of photos. **Special rules or requests** I enjoy spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes. I do not have a preference with size or breed....dogs, cats, rodent, birds, fish, reptiles, etc. I will love them all the same! I currently work full-time at a vet clinic, but I would love to try to fit your babies into my schedule. I can do drop ins before and after work and I’m available to stay with them at night, as well as spend extra time on my days off. I have a large safe fenced in yard, but I would prefer to care for your baby at your home where they are more comfortable.
About: I live in Little Elm with my family and two cats. Have had extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages through dog walking and sitting to make extra cash and as favors for friends/family. I’ve also had family dogs throughout my life. I also have experience with cats and am happy to care for them on home visits. Excited to meet new dogs and explore the city and lake on long walks! For those pups who aren’t into longer walks though I’m flexible and am happy to play games in my yard and sunbathe. I am a very responsible and experienced choice for your pets, and will be thrilled to hear from you and help in any way I can!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
