“I am pleased with the care my 3 labradoodles & 2 terriers and 2 cats by Alex. They looked happy in the photos she sent us. I went back home for my aunt’s burial. It was a sad occasion but I did not have to worry about my pets. I knew Alex was there taking care of them with her kindness. We will continue to use her service because moving to the valley I have not found someone else to care for them in order to get away for a long weekend. I highly recommend her. She loves animals and it so kind and charming to meet in person.”
“Yesenia did an incredible job taking care of our farm. We have over 30 animals all with different care instructions which Yesenia followed to the T. I really appreciated her updates and photos. She allowed us to enjoy our vacation without stressing about what was going on at home. We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Alexis was so sweet with my corgi Mushu and gave him so much love and attention. She was on time and really came through for us helping last minute. I’m so grateful for her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Samantha was amazing with our Zoe! We really appreciate everything she did taking care of her while we were out of town. We loved the photos we got from Samantha and reassured us that Zoe was in good hands. Would absolutely book with Samantha again in the future!”
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 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. I have a fenced back area and live in a decent size home. I am able to crate my new furry friend if needed. Will follow your instructions.
About: In my home, every pet is treated with love and care as if they were my own. They’re free to roam, snuggle on the couch, or nap wherever they feel most comfortable. My home is completely pet-proof, with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time (always supervised!). I always go the extra mile to make pets feel safe and cared for. Once, I was given a dog with no crate or blanket and told he was house-trained—he wasn’t. With patience and love, I helped him adjust, gently crate-trained him, and gave him a cozy blanket so he could feel secure. Moments like these remind me how important it is to treat every pet like family. I kindly ask that you bring your pet’s essentials—like food, bowls, and favorite items—along with their routine, so I can keep their days feeling familiar and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me, so I cannot accept animals who show aggressive behavior. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m available every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have school. Outside of that, I’m flexible and available whenever needed. I maintain calm, pet-safe spaces, follow feeding and potty routines, give slow introductions, double-check leashes, and offer comfort like blankets, toys, or crate time when needed.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for my neighbors my friends and family I really like walking them I do anything to make them feel good.

About: I have had experience taking care of dogs for about ten years taking care of neighbors dogs when they would leave out of town and independently doing drop in visits and dog walking when owners needed the extra hand. I have so much free time since I work from home, I would give your pet the loving attention it needs while your away. I wouldn’t want to miss spending that time with a loving dog. Every service is different and so is the dog. But other than that I will provide the same love to them all. The needs of the dog are really important to me and will follow all directions each owner has.
About: I work well with shy cats. I take caring for their personal space seriously. I have watched cats ranging from 1-cat households to 6-cat households. I always pay attention to any special needs and care. I am working full-time but I am happy to spend my afternoons, evenings, and weekends for cats. I am willing to even go full-time sitting on weekends. My day job goes from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. I will immediately head to your cat(s) after work if necessary. I pay absolute attention to what the cat needs. I have worked with senior cats to kittens and accomodate them whenever necessary. I also send daily photos to owners when they miss them. I will always contact the owners if anything ever comes up. I like to be thorough in my cat-sitting that way.

Alison is sweet and thoughtful, even notifying us when we were running low on cat food and kindly purchasing more for us. Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us informed and reassured. We are thrilled with her care and will definitely have Alison cat sit our furbabies again. Highly recommended!”

McAllen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kelly did an excellent job caring for our two smallish dogs. Both needed medication and special diets during her visit, which is crucial for their well being. She was very careful and very conscientious about that. The house was kept very clean and the kitchen was tidy. She even swept the house, which wasn't her obligation at all. She accidentally broke a dustpan and bought an exact replacement, even though we told her not to worry about it. She also took the dogs for walks. Based on the photos she sent, they had a good time with her. They were relaxed, happy and in good health upon our return. That's a great relief. I hope Kelly is willing to sit for us in the future. I heartily recommend her services.
