About: I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. Whether you're away for a few hours or several days, I'll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection( bathing time could also be requested) just like they’re part of my own family. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!" As I am in the process of pursuing a career as a phlebotomist and enrolling in nursing classes, my schedule can be busy at times. For this reason, I don’t typically accept house sitting, but may make exceptions for short stays under a week if they are nearby and align with my availability. I do offer drop-in visits when my schedule allows and am fully accepting boarding, where I can provide consistent and loving care. I tailor my pet care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual feeding, walking, and play schedule to provide comfort and consistency. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always prioritize their well-being, communicate regularly with owners, and ensure pets feel secure and loved while in my care.
“Lisette exceeded our expectations. She sent us a lot of pictures and our fur babies had a blast. Our regular sitter was unavailable this weekend and we were a bit worried leaving them with someone new. Thank you very much, Lisette for taking such good care our pups. We also appreciated the postcard. We highly recommend her services!!!”
About: The companionship of my pets has always meant so much to me. As a homemaker, I have the time to provide them with the best possible care, including their health, nutrition, love, and plenty of affection. Your furry baby will be in the best hands and will be treated as if they were my own. I have a senior Jack Russell at home who loves having company just as much as I do. Your pup's tummy comes first, so their stay includes special treats such as pet-safe ice cream, duck treats, dog cookies, peanut butter, and only purified water. If your pet prefers their own diet, you are more than welcome to bring their food, and I will be happy to serve it according to their routine. My home has a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend can safely enjoy playtime and outdoor activities. I also have plenty of toys and cozy dog beds for them to relax and take a comfortable nap whenever they need one. My daily schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my routine without any issues. Your dog will have constant supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I am able to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and at home. Hello! I'm Paty, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Since I spend most of my time at home, your furry family member will receive constant supervision, love, and personalized attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm environment. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I have cozy beds and toys to keep your pet happy and relaxed. I also share my home with a friendly senior Jack Russell who is accustomed to other dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages during your pet's stay, so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while giving you complete peace of mind. I would be honored to care for your beloved companion and look forward to meeting both of you!
“Chenay and her family took AMAZING care of Bruce, my older Pit. I received pictures and updates of how he was doing throughout my week-long trip. This was the first time I had boarded him and I was never once worried if he was settling in, getting play time, or being taken care. Absolutely fantastic experience!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love caring for them like they’re my babies. I also help watch my family and friends' pets when they’re out of town, so I’m used to giving animals lots of love and attention. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family with me. I’m attending the university of the rio grande valley. However, I only attend on certain days and right now it’s summer so i’m free. I will make time. I will do my best to clean any mess the pets make and I am reliable to give them food and water and take on walks daily.
About: I was introduced to my wonderful Sabrina when I was 4. Everyday was something new with my baby. We would go on walks, play with her toys and just spend time together. We took care of her until her very last fetch. Sabrina made me fall in love with animals. Now I have my Zoey who I love and adore as much as I did my Sabrina. I have an open schedule, so last minute scheduling is not a problem. I’m available most days of the week and weekends. Just give me a holler! I have a very nice backyard and two friendly dogs. If your pet does not get along with dogs I have a separate area for my dogs! :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McAllen
Maritza was amazing with Buddy! He was so happy and well taken care of, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Maritza was always communicating with us and kept updating us through his stay you could tell Buddy was super happy at her house. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her
Samantha did such an amazing job taking care of Theo! This was actually my first time ever leaving Theo with a sitter, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier for me. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pictures of him, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Theo was comfortable, happy, and very well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have had such a great first experience leaving him with someone! I would absolutely trust Samantha with Theo again and will definitely be booking with her again. I fully recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to take care of their fur baby! 🤍🐾
We recently used Ms. Terrie’s dog sitting services for our Boston terrier, Kobe, and we had such a great experience! We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding when we had last minute changes to our drop off/pick up times. You can tell she really enjoys her job as she welcomed our Kobe with such a joyful heart. Her frequent updates throughout the day also gave us peace of mind that he was doing good! 100% recommend her services.
Bruna was able to accommodate my request last minute. She lives very close by to me and that was a plus! My pups were well cared for! Bruna communicated well and sent me pics of how the pups were doing. My pups were comfortable in her home and were able to prance around freely. She was also able to accommodate giving my older pup his meds. I recommend Bruna to watch your pups and I will seek out her help again when the need arises! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
