“Gideon was great! This was our first time using Rover. He took great care of our fur baby! I would highly recommend Gideon! He was on time daily and took great pics showing us our pup was in good hands.”
“She did a fantastic job. My Russian blue sat in her lap she has to be a cat whisperer. I for sure will ask Magee Lee to cat sit for us again. Thanks Magee!”
“We’ve been able to have Sofia care for our little girl, twice now and she has always been great! She takes the time to bond with our cat Oreo, making sure she is comfortable. Sofia also not only sends us an update pictures but extra videos and things to help us be at ease. We will continue to use Sofia when we are away!”
“Kristi was wonderful! Not only did she take good care of my kiddos, she kept in constant touch with me so I was always aware of how things were going. She followed my instructions to the T and reached out with any questions she had. I felt at ease on my vacation knowing my pets were 100% cared for. I highly recommend hiring Kristi to watch your fur babies!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with 40+ years of experience caring for small dogs. Dedicated to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care, because every pup deserves to be treated like family! If you have a tiny pup, I’m your girl! Most of my experience is with petite princesses adorable 3–6lb toy poodles and yorkies. I absolutely adore small breeds and know just how to make them feel safe and loved. I also only host one guest dog at a time since I have two little ones of my own, so your fur baby will get lots of attention and care in a calm, cozy environment. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to welcome a small dog into my home to spend time with me and my two little 5 lb pups. With over 40 years of experience caring for small dogs and a deep love for animals, I provide a warm, safe, and loving environment where they feel right at home! We have one that is 7 years old and one that is 14 years old. I have a securely fenced yard and a gated entry to ensure every pup stays safe. My two small 5 lb dogs keep great company, and since we work from home, your furry friend will always have care, attention, and plenty of love!

About: “What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs that need extra patience and gentle handling. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and creating a calm, positive environment. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule walks, feeding times, and play sessions throughout the day, just like I would for my own pets. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or overnight stays, I organize my week around each pet’s needs to ensure they get consistent, loving care. When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow detailed instructions from the owner, including feeding, walking, medication, and playtime. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and I always send updates and photos so pet parents feel reassured.
“Highly recommend Claudia. I hired her to watch my cat Simon for a couple days and she went above and beyond. Kept me posted with pics and updates and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Very happy that I found my forever pet sitter and I look forward to using her services again.”
About: Have experience with small, medium and large dogs for over the past 5 years. I am pretty flexible and will tend to service your needs. I am currently getting my doctorates for physical therapy, majority of my schooling is online, which makes it possible for me to be more available and if acceptable I can even do my schooling at the clients house which gives me more time to bond with their babies; except for specific times. however there will be a period where I am unavailable, however I will make that known I will follow any rules that are set for me to care for your dogs and home if needed, I will also be very selective and protective of who is also allowed around your dog.
“Kaitlin was so great caring for our cat while we were away! She sent so many pictures and gave details on her stay. She was extremely flexible and great communication, will definitely book her for our next trip!”
About: With over 24 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to giant breeds—and a variety of cat personalities. I’m especially familiar with breeds like German Shepherds, bully breeds, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, herding dogs, and mixed breeds. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m confident with senior pets and those with special needs. At home, I live with two dogs (30 and 120 pounds) and two American Shorthair cats, so I truly understand the day-to-day needs of pets. I love animals for their companionship and quirks, and I’m always learning about animal behavior to better connect with each pet I meet. Friends jokingly call me the "dog whisperer"—I just call it passion and patience! Pet care fits naturally into my routine year-round. I work in education, so during the summer months I’m off and have plenty of flexibility. I easily fit pet care between my tutoring schedule, allowing me to take on walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. During the school year, I’m available in the evenings and on weekends for drop-ins, and I can still accommodate house sitting with advanced notice and planning. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. When I house sit, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I ask for detailed information, including preferred potty spots, known commands, feeding schedules, and any behavioral quirks that may affect their day-to-day care. I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and videos and maintain open communication at all times to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to provide the same love, structure, and attention pets receive when their family is home.
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life. And a variety of other pets sporadically, like fish, hamsters guinnea pigs and others. I have also been blessed to have been a rescue foster and the reward of helping heal thier emotional and physical health and finding their Furever homes. I understand pets are family. I work from home FT so most availability is evenings and weekends. If you are super close by, I may be able to dropins during the week days. I am comfortable with all sizes ( we have 3 dogs 50-120 lbs) and do respect your training protocols. I always check the fences and gates before letting them out in the yard.
About: I’ve always had pets around me since I was very young. I've taken care of pretty much of every kind of animal since growing up. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Even when going of to college I had brought my cat, Nico, and my dog, Bentley with me. Which I had taken care of for 2 years in my apartment. I have recently also started fostering dogs and it feels my heart up with joy when I am able to find them a new home. I'm just graduated the University of Arkansas and am looking for a job, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! I'm available for boarding whenever and will attend your as much as possible! I plan on following the schedule that an owner provides with lots of love so the pet still feels comfortable. Or if at mine I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed as we have an extra kennel.
About: I’ve spent a lifetime around animals and truly understand how much pets mean to their families. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs daily walks and stimulation, or a shy cat who just wants calm company, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’m dependable, respectful of routines, and always happy to follow detailed instructions—from medication schedules to quirky habits. I’m here to give your pets comfort, attention, and consistency—just like you would. I have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care—whether that’s dog walking, caring for cats, or house sitting. I genuinely enjoy being active and can’t wait to share calm walks, cozy company, and reliable care with your beloved pets. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your guidelines diligently. This includes maintaining the usual routine, feeding schedule, and exercise regimen. I make sure to keep their surroundings clean and tidy and provide companionship and playtime to keep them mentally and physically engaged.
About: I've been an animal person my whole life. I absolutely adore all pets! What sets me apart is that I truly take the time to get to know your pet's personality and make sure they feel comfortable - not just cared for, but loved like one of my own! I work a flexible hybrid schedule and work in office two days a week. I love going on walks and spending one-on-one time with animals. When I am in your home, I'll treat it with care and make sure that your pet sticks to their usual routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I'm happy to take care of feeding, walking, playtime, and any little things that help your pet feel right at home. I'll always keep things tidy and send photo updates so you can see how your fur baby's doing while you're away.
“We had a wonderful experience with Daniel. He took great care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. He provided complete visit cards with pictures for every drop in visit he made. We look forward to using him again in the future!”
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

Frank A.
“Frank has taken care of my two little dogs for years, walking them, spending time with them, and house sitting when I am out of town. Frank has an innate connection with dogs that creates a bond of trust and security. It’s an understatement to say my dogs love him. My 13 year old Chihuahua mix loves to sit next to him and cuddle, while my one year old Maltese mix loves to wrestle and play fetch. Frank seems to know what each dog needs and brings out the best in them. He’s not only a caregiver, he’s their friend and a member of our family. I trust no one else and use no one else’s services.”

Little Elm dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel took good care of Max while I was gone for work, making sure I was in the know of how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. She also brought in my mail and packages which was sweet of her.
Amanda was a lifesaver, we are currently in another country and there was a family emergency that took place. There were a lot of issues coming in and out of the house and she was very patient with me. She takes the best silly pictures of my animals. Please give her all the business. My cat rarely comes out of her shell but with Amanda it was right away. Thank you Amanda again!
Mariah took such great care of my pup while I was away and she left detailed notes and the cutest pictures. She was prompt for each drop in and stayed and played with Bentley for a while. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Izamarie is amazing and I would highly recommend to take care of your pup! She is very communicative and you can tell how much she actually cares for your dog! She sends us a photo every time she visits, and is happy to accommodate any special accommodations your dog may need! From working on certain skills during a walk to extra snuggles when needed! We will be continuing to rebook whenever we need! 😊
Lisa was amazing, she communicated the entire time she was with the dogs. I would recommend her and would no again the next time I need a sitter
Randy was very communicative and sent great pictures of our dogs, with detailed updates. This is even more impressive since he had to step in at the last minute to fill in for our regular sitter who had a death in the family. We never actually met Randy in person, but after a couple of communications, we felt very comfortable with him and his care for our dogs. We would definitely use Randy again!
