About: I’ve spent years caring for different pets, and I treat each one like my own.

I am currently working early hours so rest of the time I am happy to play with your puppys and take care of them around my day with walks, feeding, play times and checkins We have a closed fence and a backyard where your puppy can play we also have a dog to keep your baby it's company as well. There is always a company
“Yan is amazing! She was so sweet and wonderful with our dogs. I got pics and updates and I could tell they were happy and well taken care of, especially because they’re known to be pouty when we leave. I allowed her to bring her boyfriend with her since they can be a handful at times, and the boys absolutely loved and adored the both of them! They had such a great time playing and getting love, pets, and attention. I’m very grateful to Yan for taking care of our pups while we were gone and I never had to worry about how they were doing! She went above and beyond to keep our house and dogs clean and in order. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Yan the next time we have to go out of town!”
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
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets by providing daily feeding, fresh water, and maintaining clean living spaces. I regularly walked dogs, ensured they received enough exercise, and monitored their behavior to notice any changes in health or mood. I also helped with basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur and bathing, which kept pets comfortable and healthy. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of how to meet the physical and emotional needs of animals. Pet care would fit well into my schedule because I can plan feeding, walks, and check-ins around my daily responsibilities. I’m able to manage my time effectively, making sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise while still keeping up with my other commitments. I make sure I give them a reasonable time to relax and make sure they are let outside and have access to anything they need. I would also give walks based on the animals needs.
“Simply the best!!! Abby provides the same care you would provide for your pet! She provides constant communication of how your pet is doing while you are away. Awesome pictures and videos were provided to make me feel relaxed knowing my pet was being treated wonderfully! I would recommend Abby to anyone who wants the best for their pet! She is the best and I was very happy she was there for Teddy!”
“Samantha and Sydney did another wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. They go above and beyond every time. I honestly think our cats may prefer them to us! We will be using them again soon.”
“Dubelsa is awesome! She helped to take care of my bunnies while I was away. My bunnies are not the easiest to take care of since they are very easily scared. Dubelsa was very patient and texted me with their conditions and pictures during the drop in visits. I'm very satisfied with this experience and I'll definitely book again with Dubelsa ??”
“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.”
“She’s absolutely wonderful and always takes such great care of Luna. This was a last-minute request, and she was more than happy to help, which I truly appreciated. She’s reliable, and makes me feel completely at ease leaving my pup with her.”
“I've been a repeat customer for Stephanie and she's amazing. She communicates well, and so I never feel worried about my animals while I'm gone. My animals love Stephanie and it seems that they are all over her when she visits. My pet bunny usually gets nervous around people and freeze, but Stephanie seems to be an exception !”
“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: 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.
“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 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.
