About: I have taken care of my friend’s pets for many years. Everyone who has entrusted me with their pets have always felt safe and confident that I will love and care for them as if they were my own. I enjoy spending time and playing with little furry ones. I work from home and I have all the time in the world to play and spend time with your furry family member. I am available nights and weekends.

About: I’m Ms. Sinthia, a dedicated and experienced pet sitter in Mission, TX. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, with a special heart for senior pets and those with special needs. My home is peaceful, loving, and designed with dogs in mind. I currently live with three senior dogs who bring calm and warmth to our daily routine: Fiona ("Fifi") – A quiet, affectionate rescue with dental needs. She loves sunshine and cozy spots. Maya – At 17, she’s semi-blind and low-maintenance. Potty trained, independent, and happiest sunbathing outside. Colt – My best friend since he was 2 months old. Now 13, he’s hard of hearing but still active, friendly, and gentle. He uses the dog door and enjoys strolls on leash. All three are potty trained and dog door trained. My home has a secure fenced backyard, a spacious indoor area, and a dog door for easy access and freedom to roam. I understand the patience, love, and attention dogs—especially seniors—need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, your pet will be treated like part of my family. I work full-time as a high school teacher and am home by 5:00 PM on weekdays. I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or drop-in visits. Evenings are calm and structured—perfect for winding down with your pet. During school holidays and breaks, I have more flexible availability. Your dog will be in a calm, loving home with a fenced yard, a dog door, and three senior, well-mannered dogs. All are potty trained and gentle. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any feeding or medication schedules. My home is quiet, secure, and ideal for dogs who thrive in a peaceful environment.
About: Been a dog lover since 1999! I've owned, cared and loved three dogs of my own named Lola, Roxy and Diego growing up. I currently have my own fur baby by the name of Hank (German Shephard), as well as take care of my boyfriend's baby, Dizmo (Pomeranian Mix) I've done my fair share of dog/puppy babysitting for my aunts, uncles and friends of all sizes- big, medium and large with all kinds of tempers. I feed, walk, play, bathe and even provide hour long belly rubs! I don't mind all the jumping around and playfulness. In fact, I encourage it! I am determined, patient and passionate about dog care therefore, I promise nothing but the best of quality care for your pet. For me, signing up for Rover is more than just earning money, it is an opportunity to be around such loving and pure souls and being able to reciprocate that care and making them feel loved. ❤ I currently have a full-time job during the week (Monday - Friday 9 AM to 5 PM). I can be available to care for fur babies before and after those hours. I am free and flexible during weekends. :) Following given instructions by owners is my number one priority. I provide constant updates as well as pictures and videos to help ensure my client the best of care.

About: As a dog sitter, I provide attentive care to furry friends. My priority is to ensure they feel safe and entertained in their owner's absence and to make sure you as their owner feel at ease with being away from home and making sure they’re in the right hands. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I tailor activities to each dog's preferences and needs. With a keen eye for detail, I'm vigilant about following feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean environment. My commitment to open communication ensures pet owners feel reassured and updated on their dog's activities and welfare. As your pup’s temporary guardian, I’ll make sure they feel like I’m an extension of their daily routine and like another part of the family. I am currently a student with an open schedule. I take online classes, so the majority of my time will be spent at your home with your fur baby. They will never have to be alone for long, and I can provide updates when I have to leave your home to run errands, or I can take your pup with me on outings. In my client’s home, I make sure not to tread in spaces that aren’t needed for taking care of your pet. You can expect me to guard your home like it’s my own, clean up after myself and your pup, and I can also feed plants, bring in packages, or alternate lights at night. During our meet and greet, this is what I like to go over so I can make sure we have a pleasant stay: What is your dog’s daily routine? Does you pup need medicine or a special diet? What tricks does your dog know? What are their favorite treats and activities? Are they allowed on outings outside the home, like the store or drive in the car? Would you like to add walks onto your service? Does your pup get along with other animals? Are there any things I need to be aware or cautious of with your pet? Do you have any house rules I need to be aware of? Will anyone else be stopping by during this stay so I can make sure I expect them? Are there any restrictions on types of food in drinks being in the home? (No sugar, no nuts, no alcohol, etc) All of these things will help me provide you the best experience and make you and your fur baby more comfortable! The more detail you provide me the better!

Marissa M.
“Marissa goes far and beyond as pet sitter. She is caring, attentive and most importantly she understands dogs exceptionally. She took care of my black lab Atia multiple times in the past, when I had to travel outside of the United States. She was a host mom literally and can't thank her enough. I instantly felt that Atia tuned with Marissa from the very beginning, and I knew that she was in the best hands possible, any time I had to leave her. We dog moms know that they are family and it's sometimes delicate to leave them with other people, but I knew Marissa will take care of my Atia, and she did!”
