About: Welcome! I’m John, a lifelong animal lover with roots on a Texas farm and a home full of four-legged family. I share my life with Mika, our elegant European Great Dane; Doodle and Jasper, our lovable American Great Danes; and Tobi, our spirited Boxer-Black Lab mix. Each one brings their own personality and joy to our home—and they’ve all taught me the value of patience, play, and unconditional love. Whether you have a gentle giant, a senior sweetheart, or a high-energy pup, I understand that every pet has unique needs. My experience spans everything from farm animals to special-needs pets, and I specialize in providing calm, attentive, and personalized care in a safe, loving environment. I offer more than just pet sitting—I offer peace of mind. Your pets will be treated like family, because in my home, they are. Let’s connect and give your pets the care they deserve while you’re away! I’ve worked from home for the past 22 years so I’m able to give plenty of time to those furry companions that are ever so needy. I have three great Danes of my own, and my partner has a Lab so there are plenty of toys and playmates and a very large fenced in backyard for everyone to have a good time in.
About: I am a single mom of human and fur babies! I am new to Rover, but I have experience with small and large dogs. I also experience with calm and feisty cats. I am open to caring for other animals too. I began volunteering from a young age at my local animal shelter and have come to have my own pets for several years now. I would love to help with your fur babies and treat them like my own. I have a very open schedule. I prefer to work Monday through Saturday, but I am happy to negotiate Sundays to meet all of your pet care needs! I am very respectful of your space and will treat it as good as my own. I don't mind feeding your pets, brushing their fur, scooping a litter box, giving your pets any needed pills, and of course lots of play time!
“Our neighbor's German Shepherd came to our yard through the hole he dug and started attacking my dogs when Ashley let them out to take a potty break. Ashley handled the situation perfectly and protected my four fur babies. She is always so communicative, reliable, responsible, and professional! We feel very lucky to have her!”

“Anna was great! This was my first Rover experience and it could not have gone better. I was so nervous to leave the dogs but after the first drop-in I instantly relaxed and enjoyed my vacation.

“I was very impressed by the professionalism of this sitter. She exercises good communication and very detailed reports on her visit. I scheduled an hour visit each day and Paulina provided walks at the beginning and the end of each session. Plus she cleaned up accidents in my home between visits. I was very grateful for all the effort during visits. In opinion she went above and beyond what most sitters would provide.”

John S.
“John Strahan: The Pet Whisperer Who Deserves More Than Five Stars! Entrusting our Cairn Terrier McKenzie to John Strahan was the best decision we made before our vacation. John is a standout pet sitter whose love for animals shines brighter than the North Star. His expertise and affection were evident from the get-go, and his own dogs were the icing on the cake. John's furry companions welcomed our terrier into their pack with open paws. They were the epitome of friendliness and playfulness, engaging our little one in joyful romps and games that kept her tail wagging with happiness. It was a delightful sight to see them all interact, and it gave us immense peace of mind knowing she had such great company. John's daily updates were a window into a world of fun and care that he provided. His dogs became her buddies, her protectors, and her playmates. They shared toys, treats, and even their favorite napping spots with her. This camaraderie among the dogs was heartwarming and truly special. Returning home, we found our Cairn Terrier not just well-cared for, but also brimming with joy from the canine friendships she had formed. John, with his exceptional care and his friendly dogs, made sure our pet's vacation was as wonderful as ours. For anyone in need of a pet sitter who will treat your pets like royalty and provide them with the best furry friends, John Strahan is your go-to person. He's a gem, a friend to all pets, and an absolute recommendation from us!”
