“She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions. Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment. I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.
“This was our first time using Corina and she was great! Fantastic communication daily. She sent pics of our pets every morning and every evening. She was very respectful of our home. It is obvious that our pets were well cared for and happy. We have already booked her for another three dates. She is now our go to sitter!”

“Alex did a great job taking care of our Marlee! We loved the multiple daily updates with pictures. He was very respectful of our home and left it in pristine condition as well as bringing in packages and checking our mail. We know Marlee had a great time with Alex while we were away. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”


About: Hi! My name is Risa! I had a Labrador growing up, she was sweet and rambunctious. During Covid, I fostered a malnourished dog until he went to his forever home! Currently, I’m dog walking full time! I’ve fostered dogs before, but don’t have any pets currently. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking every day! I love hiking and walking, so can happily take dogs for long walks. I want to have a great time hanging out with your furry friends
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and communicative. Our pup absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with everything we asked! She even went as far to make him a custom bandana with his name. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Courtney is an excellent, caring, and attentive dog sitter. During our meet and greet, it was clear she is highly experienced and skilled at caring for pets and animals in general. She watched my two rescue Yorkies in our home for over a week. My two dogs are not easy, as they have behavioral issues and often have tummy issues when I’m away traveling. Courtney was so great about communicating with me, keeping me posted on how the dogs were doing, and would ask thoughtful questions if something seemed potentially off with one of the dogs or if they may not be feeling well. It was also clear that Courtney treated our house like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet sitting care for their pet!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”

About: Hi, I’m Kate! I actively foster rescue dogs through the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter (SMRAS) and have previously fostered with BARC Animal Shelter in Houston. I have a special place in my heart for pitties and rescue dogs, but I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog wants to play fetch for hours, nap on the couch, follow me from room to room, or pretend they’ve never been fed a day in their life, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. Fair warning: you may receive an unreasonable number of pet photos. P.S. 🤭 If your pet is a little outside the norm, feel free to ask! I’ve also cared for rabbits, horses, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. My days already revolve around animals. Between fostering rescue dogs and pet sitting, your pet won’t be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be a part of it, too. I care deeply about the pets in my care and work hard to earn both their trust and yours every step of the way, always.
“She did so good with both of my dogs! She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated with them throughout the day. She walked them, took them to the park and even stayed the night with them. If you are looking for someone to communicate with you and love on your dogs like her own I would highly recommend her.”

“Joely was absolutely amazing with our dog, Murphy! She was so sweet and caring, and kept us updated daily with photos and messages that really put our minds at ease while we were out of town. Murphy can be shy at first, but he warmed up to her very quickly and they bonded. Our dog also takes medication twice a day, and Joely handled it perfectly. We’re so thankful for her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is the first time I have used Rover for house sitting and dog sitting. Michelle was great. She sent me photos of my 2 dogs and 2 cats throughout the 2 days I was gone to let me know everyone was okay. She even washed the bedding before she left. Great experience!”

“Kayla was amazing as always! Her communication was great and she provided updates with pictures and videos so we knew Loki and Thor were happy and taken care of. Unfortunately Thor broke one of his nails while playing outside but Kayla was quick to immediately take care of him and let us know. We will continue to trust Kayla with caring for our fur babies!”

“Christina is such an amazing pet care provider! One of my dogs was in heat, and got into a tussle with my other fixed female while I was away. She did everything to make sure they got separated and were okay. I’m so thankful to have found not just a great care provider but one that kept my furbabies safe while I was away! Thank you Christina!!!”
