“Regina and her family are lovely people who were great sitters for quimby. He was well cared for during the stay. Regina was meticulous, prompt and always communicated with us during the stay, even when we forgot to respond at times. We can tell quimby enjoyed his stay because he was calm throughout the journey back home. To summarize, we highly recommend regina and her family for any petcare needs and we would love to send quimby to them again. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets. I provide holistic care, focusing on nutrition, behavior, training, and emotional well-being. I’ve trained both puppies and adult dogs, including helping an older dog adjust from suburban to city life. I love animals deeply and offer a calm, devoted, and safe environment on my 10-acre property where pets can rest, play, and feel truly nurtured. I’m home full-time and work from home, so I can provide consistent, attentive care. My life is quiet and thoughtful, and as a writer and creative, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate focused time to pets throughout the day. Walks, play, feeding, and companionship are all easily accommodated, and I can adjust to each pet’s unique needs and routines. Pets in my care enjoy a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. My property is partially fenced, and I closely supervise all outdoor time. No animals roam freely unless fully trained and safe off-leash. I provide fresh water, nutritious snacks (if you like), exercise, and gentle attention tailored to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and nurtured throughout their stay.
“Lacy was amazing with our two girls! Her kids were so sweet and patient with them. They had lots of one on one time and lots of cuddles. They went for walks and had lots of fun play time outside as well. Lacy kept in regular contact and sent pictures of them throughout the day. We will definitely be back to visit her and her sweet family again! She is highly recommended!”

“This was Gunner’s first sleepover with Rosy, and he had such a great time with her and her son! She was so friendly and communicative throughout, sending updates that made me feel completely at ease. Gunner clearly felt right at home.”

“Marcel was great! He and his two boys kept Gemma active, and super happy. He sent regular pictures and videos and she looked like she was having a ball. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Marcel!”

“Our pups were well taken care of by Sahara and Santo! They had tons of fun and we received a lot of pictures. We felt completely at ease while we were away. Definitely will be back!”

“Absolutely fantastic. It was our first time using this service and they exceeding expectations and were super easy to work with. Will use them again no questions asked :)”

“Kelly was absolutely fantastic watching our little 2-year old chiweenie for 6 days. She and her husband were very attentive and thoughtful with our dog’s needs and quirks. They made sure to play his favorite games to get all his energy out and sent daily updates (complete with pictures!). He had a big smile on his face. She will be our go-to sitter for future stays! 🐶👍”


“We went to Europe and left our cattle dog, Maci, with Donna for almost 3 weeks. Donna is absolutely wonderful. She treated Maci just as if she was her own pup, taking her for walks all the time and sending me picture updates while we were gone. I will definitely be bringing Maci back again and highly recommend Donna's services. I really I can't thank her enough! :)”
“Our dog Penny always LOVES her time with Andrea and Jimmy! We absolutely adore getting photos and videos of her being cute and playing around with their dog and mountain of toys they have supplied in their house! They are truly a second family to her! You can tell they genuinely care about you the dogs they watch based on how many pics we get and all the communication! We love booking with them!”

“Hannah was amazing! She took the time to speak to me before leaving Rex to make sure I was comfortable. She also sent photos of my boy a couple times a day while we were away which definitely put us at ease. She’s great and we will definitely try and book her for future trips! Thanks again Hannah! ❤️”

“Alex and Monica were super flexible with my schedule and I would definitely recommend them and have Oakley stay with them again! He got a lot of attention and exercise.”

About: Hi, I’m Kate! :) I actively foster rescue dogs and work closely with SMRAS in San Marcos and BARC Animal Shelter in Houston. I have a special place in my heart for pitties and rescue dogs, but no breed bias here. Puppies, seniors, shepherds, rotties, mixed breeds—I love them all. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, needs medication, or just wants extra cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos while you’re away. 🐾 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. :) As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have more time to dedicate to your pet than someone with a full-time job. I have the flexibility to care for your pets during weekdays and weekends. This allows me to offer personalized, loving care and ensure your pets are never without attention. I provide personalized, loving care in a safe and comfortable environment—whether in my home or yours. I’m able to adjust to last-minute changes and follow all care instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and loved. Your pet will receive the attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Nicole was great! I trusted her and her boyfriend very much. They sent me pics and videos of my little baby having so much fun. I’m a helicopter dog mom and I’d definitely use them again. Apollo came home happy and tired from having a fun slumber party with Nicole’s and her cute Aussies ❤️❤️”

“Ashley and her family are the best! My baby is always so calm when I drop her off. That’s how I know she trusts Ashley as much as her mom and dad. We don’t like to use anyone else!”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my doggies! Super communicative, flexible, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. I also appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay!!”

Martindale pet parents share their Rover experiences
As always, Thomas and his family are great! First time watching our new puppy who also had a broken leg and everything went super smoothly. Couldn’t trust Thomas more and it’s great to have that relationship with him and not have to worry about our dogs during vacation!

Thomas and his family were awesome! I was a little concerned because Gracie can be a little bit aggressive towards people but Thomas had her eating out of his hand within minutes. By the time we traveled 15 minutes to our family‘s house that we were visiting in Texas he had already sent a picture with Gracie sitting on his lap. When we went to pick Gracie up, Thomas and his girlfriend were out there just loving on her! She really liked them! I highly recommend Thomas and his family to sit with any pet!
