“Amanda did an amazing job with taking care of my fur babies. She was so kind and attentive while she was with them, she gave us updates and photos to let us know they were okay.”


“Taylor was very kind and patient with my long list of instructions. She was punctual and cleaned up well after our cats. Very professional and you can tell she has experience with animals based on her interactions with them. Will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds of dogs. I have a dedicated room just for your dog! It will have lots of room to play, rest, and eat. I’m currently a college student. I spend most of my time at home. I will be available for the dogs throughout the majority of the day. I have a large yard for your dogs to run and play. The yard is fenced and secured. Also a dedicated room in house for the dogs. Large and small kennel for the dogs.

“Crystal came into my pets lives as a literal lifesaver :) because i needed her help during Thanksgiving and she was readily available and happy to care for my pet on short notice. She followed all of my instructions, fulfilled any misc requests, kept me updated on things happening at the house like packages being delivered, neighbors stopping by to play, etc! Her communication was always prompt and anytime there were unexpected changes, she informed me within a reasonable time. She gave a very trustworthy vibe and I really loved how she was mindful of things that had slipped my mind. I am keeping her in mind for future bookings and definitely recommend her for pet care services. Thank you so much, Crystal!”


“She is amazing and will go out her way to help in anyway she can with information. She treats our dog like it was her own and makes sure each visit he is comfortable, fed and hydrated. Definitely highly recommended 👏”


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: Hi! I have experience with cats & dogs. I have 2 cats of my own as well as 2 family dogs. I have helped friends and family with their pets whether at their place or I’ve had them at my place. I love all kinds of dogs and cats. They will be treated as they are part of the family. I currently work part time and mostly from home. I have time to take dogs out for their potty breaks as well as out for walks & out to play. I have 2 cats that are dog/cat friendly. I do have children who also are pet friendly. They love animals and tend to want to keep a pet in their room. If you’re okay with that, they would love it. I can also crate them if you prefer that. We treat animals like family.

“Tiffany was wonderful. I'm sure my pets are missing her already! She had great follow through and we loved the comments and photos she sent. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pets care.”


“Lea did an amazing job with my pups! She sent me pictures during every visit and walked my two large dogs without any issues. She was reliable and I could tell from her pictures that my boys were having a good time walking and playing with her. She was able to feed them and administer oral medications, as well. I have zero complaints and will be reaching out to her next time I need help with my fur babies!”

“This was a very good visit. Kiara and I got to meet Katherine, and we loved her energy and cheerful spirit. She has a great deal of knowledge on dogs and their behavior, as well as first aid and special cares they might need. We’ll definitely be booking more days with her.”


About: One of my biggest values is helping others. Building that trust with owner and pet is very important to me. I would love nothing more than to be that extra special friend to you and your furry friend! From puppies to senior dogs, I've constantly been relied on by friends and family to care for their own furry friends. I've made daily visits for both small and larger dogs for up to an entire week! Both pet and owner are always left satisfied with wagging tails. I'm at home 24/7, therefore pet care can fit into my daily and weekly routine very easily. I'm available every day from 6am-6pm unless stated otherwise. I can make up to 6 visits a day within a 7 mile radius. I have two small indoor dogs of my own; a 4 year old Pug and 14 year old Chihuahua. I take them out 4-5 times a day especially due to my Chihuahua's old age. Both are always rewarded with treats and pets afterwards! Fear not, I will love and care for your furry friend with the same amount of TLC as I do with my own, guaranteed. All boundaries and environments will be respected 100% as this is one of my biggest values. Your trust, comfort, and peace of mind is another thing I prioritize the most, next to your furry friend of course!

“Andrea was absolutely amazing with our cats! She was so patient and kind and our skittish one, and spent some wonderful time playing and cuddling with our social one! Knowing Andrea was there showing love to our babies, cleaning out their litter box, and feeding and watering them brought such peace to us! We knew our kitties were in great hands. We will definitely be using Andrea again! Flynn Ryder and Turtle the Cat are excited to see her soon ☺️”


About: I am new to this app and can’t wait to see what this is all about ! With years of experience in pet care, I have honed my skills in understanding the unique needs of each pet I look after. I provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, ensuring they are comfortable and happy. Our animals are only here on this earth for a short amount of time and I believe in giving them the BEST life ever. You can definitely count on me to make your animals happy and feel loved. My love for animals and my commitment to their well-being sets me apart from other sitters. I am currently a full-time high school student with extracurricular activities during the week, my availability for pet care is primarily on weekends. I'm more than happy to dedicate my free time to taking care of your pets. Just let me know the specific times and needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate them on weekends! When it comes to caring for pets, whether it's in my home or the client's home, I prioritize their safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding, medication, and exercise routines. If I'm caring for pets in the client's home, I maintain a clean and organized environment, respecting their space and following their guidelines. Trust is essential, and I always prioritize the well-being of the pets entrusted to my care.

About: I am a competent college student well versed in the care of many types of creatures. From cats, dogs, bunnies, rodents, fish, and birds, i’ve done it all. I have experience with old, young, and sick pets and am comfortable with just about anything. I’m a college student and I have classes from monday-thursday 11-4:30. However, I do have time in between classes and after for more pet care. I am very respectful of the home and have pet sit for family and friends over the years. I am very clean and when you come back, it’ll be like I wasn’t even there!

About: I’ve cared for my own fur baby for 2 years, so I know what it takes to keep pups happy and healthy (and to survive the occasional “zoomies” and sock theft). While I’m new to professional dogsitting, I’m a genuine dog lover who vibes well with all personalities—from shy pups to playful goofballs. I provide chill, patient care and will try my best to keep your pup's routine on point! I just graduated, so my summer is wide open! Which means I can give your furbaby all the attention, care, and love that they deserve 24/7. I currently house a pup of my own, who's pretty shy but is very sweet and friendly once he warms up. He is fully crate trained and does well with dogs who respect his space. I will, of course, do slow supervised introductions to make sure every pet is comfortable! I live in a cozy and clean home with easy outdoor access for potty breaks/walks. Your babies will be in a safe environment and I will make sure to stick to their usual routine as closely as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors and family friend’s dogs since I was 14 years old. I’ve had dogs of my own since I was five years old. I have a deep love for animals. My dogs are like my babies. I can’t think of wanting to spend my time with anything more than animals! I’m a junior in college here at UTRGV. I have school Monday and Wednesday. And am home all day for the rest of the week. I can fit a drop in on Mondays if needed. Overall, my schedule is very flexible! :) I have a large fenced yard and two friendly Labradors to keep your pups company! I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed both inside and outside :)

“I was specifically looking for someone who knew how to care for cats because I have two. This was the first time in a while I was going to leave them alone for a week. On top of that, my older cat got very, very sick just a week before the trip. So I had a lot of specific instructions for their care (mainly my sick cat). And I’m so happy to say that Lilia did an incredible job in following them and overall just doing her thing in caring for them. Great communication, sent lots of pictures, double-checked with me with any concerns or questions, read my notes, and left me notes. Super satisfied with her work. It is so very difficult to find someone to trust in general, let alone someone to trust with your pets (fur children), even on an app like Rover (whose safeguards, honestly, are not that secure). And for me most of all, it’s hard to find care/sitters specifically for cats. Needless to say I highly recommend Lilia and I’m definitely going to hire her again in the future.”


About: Welcome! My name is Jessica and I was born and raised in the RGV. I'm a reliable, friendly, and patient pet lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a veterinary clinic in the evening, so I'm well-versed in pet behavior, health signs to watch for, and how to handle pets in a calm, safe, and loving way. Being on time and dependable is a top priority for me, and you can count on clear and prompt communication throughout every booking. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, playtime, or just some extra attention while you're away, I’ll treat them like family—because they are! I'm experienced and comfortable working with pets who have special needs, including those who require daily medication, mobility assistance, or extra patience and care. Whether it's administering oral or topical meds, managing feeding schedules, or creating a calm environment for anxious pets, I'm here to provide reliable and loving support. Your pet’s health, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority! You can rest easy knowing your pet is in trustworthy and experienced hands. I work remotely from home during the day and part-time at a pet clinic in the evenings. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and real-time updates upon request. Working from home means I can be fully present and attentive to your pet’s needs while you're away, providing peace of mind and consistent care. When dog sitting, I go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and completely at home. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—because consistency is key to keeping them comfortable while you're away. I’m attentive to their body language, energy levels, and behavior, always ready to adjust care to meet their individual needs. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or shy and reserved, I provide personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of affection. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands from the moment you leave to the moment you return. For Puppies: Caring for puppies requires patience, consistency, and lots of love—and that’s exactly what I provide. I stick to your pup’s training routines, offer plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and gentle guidance to reinforce good behavior. I understand that puppies are still learning the world around them, so I create a safe, nurturing environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s crate training, socialization, or simply burning off puppy energy, your little one will be in attentive and encouraging hands every step of the way. For Senior Dogs: Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I take extra care to ensure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and cared for with the gentleness they deserve. Whether your senior pup needs help getting around, has a specific medication schedule, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I’m mindful of signs of discomfort and make sure they have plenty of time for rest, cuddles, and stress-free companionship while you’re away. For Special Needs Dogs: I have experience working with dogs who require specialized care, and I’m confident and compassionate in managing their unique needs. From administering medication to handling mobility challenges or anxiety triggers, I create a calm, supportive environment tailored to your dog’s condition. I stay alert to changes in behavior or health and always communicate openly with you to ensure your dog’s safety and comfort. Your pet will receive focused, loving care that respects their individual needs and routines.

Tam N.
“Though Tam has never personally pet sat my dog, I know that she is a kind and an extremely responsible dog owner. I’ve been with her and her dog many times and I’ve seen enough to know how she handles her dog with care and assertiveness to correct her dog’s misbehaviors. Tam also always puts her dog first. For example, before every study session after school and every hang out, Tam stops by her house first to care for her dog despite having others at home to take care of him. She makes taking care of a dog seem easy and moreover, less of a responsibility and more of a fulfillment to her love for pets.”
