“Anne took good care of my cat Sully while I was away for the holidays! She was proactive and asked if I’d like him brushed or his nails trimmed, which was so considerate of her. She provided timely updates and was able to take care of small favors I asked from her. Sully seemed to enjoy his time with her. I recommend her as a sitter!”


“Anyssa was great! She saved us from a last minute cancellation from the bog boarding place we had our dog scheduled at. They feel through 1 hour before our flight and Anyssa took our request last minute! Thank you! She was so patient with our dog, she warmed up to him, and left him a couple of treats to ensure he didn’t get stressed out too much. Definitely recommend Anyssa for any of your doggie needs!”


“Eliza has had two visits with my boys, Dex and Moe, and already I am impressed. She is highly- competent, intelligent, pays attention to detail, and is very experienced with caring for animals. Most importantly, however, is how much my pups already adore her and how comfortable I feel when she is in my home and my presence. Both my boys are rescues, however, Dex in his first year of life was subjected to extreme abuse and neglect. It generally takes him a very long time to trust new people inside the home ( in Rover’s case that means many meet and greets with me present ) and outside the home on walks significant caution is needed at all times because he is very reactive to numerous things. I adopted Dex in 2018 and I have * never seen him warm up to any new caregiver ( or person in general) as quickly as he has to Eliza. Moe loves everybody. It is also very apparent that Eliza is very attentive when I discuss details about my boys and detailed special instructions even though I have not yet written them down, which I will. I feel at ease and fully trust that Eliza takes these instructions very seriously and understands that, in the case of Dex especially, instructions about the precautions necessary when walking him outside cannot be deviated from- he truly is a very special- emotional- needs dog ( he’s 8 ) and always will be. I am fully confident that whether I need to be away because of a health emergency or am simply on vacation that my dogs are in the best of hands under her care. I would highly recommend Eliza to anyone.”


“Yesenia did a great job of taking care of our kitty, Oscar. He took to her right away. She provided pics and left messages as needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”


“Odalis is very caring and professional and kept me informed. Strongly recommend her.”


About: Hello! My name is Alexis and I have taken care of dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages since I was little. My family and I own 5 dogs (all different in size and breed) so I’m very comfortable with all fur babies :)) I’ve worked with Labs, German shepherds, pit bulls, chihuahuas, Rottweilers, blue heelers, and many other breeds. I’ve also taken care of new born puppies, and elderly dogs before. Since one of my dogs suffer from seizures, I administer oral medication daily and if the seizure happens to be more severe, I have also administered medication through the nostrils. I am a full time college student at STC but i take majority of my classes online so I’ll be more available throughout the week to care for you pet! I would also like to mention that I do attend my Christian meetings at 7:30 p.m on Wednesday so I would really appreciate it if I’m not booked at that time for a walk or drop in visit, thank you! 😁 I will follow the instructions you have given me for your pet and I’ll make sure they’re okay, comfortable, hydrated, well fed, and having fun!

About: Always been a pet lover. My Specialty is senior care. I also foster dogs temporarily under a rescue program. Usually only 1 at a time. Available most weeks. I am usually home daily. Not working outside the home. When performing pet care, not far from home when running errands. Constantly checking on my dogs. I have a fenced yard. 1 fury chihuahua that usually keeps to herself, after a enthusiastic greeting. Have free rein in the house and yard.

“Our golden is such a big part part of our little family and we always feel bad leaving him when we travel, but we can always tell how excited he is to see Angelica in the pictures. It gives us a lot of peace knowing he’s in good hands when she stops by!”

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.

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.

“Rick was amazing, took my last minute booking for a drop in to feed my cat when i had to go out of town unexpectedly. Prompt and Excellent communication. Sent me photos of the home visit. I will definitely book him again. I highly recommend Rick 🐾 🐾”


About: I am a dog mom my self and I would love to be there for those in need of help with their furry pets! I love the companionship, as I have been around animals my whole childhood as well. I am also an open book! If it were vice versa I’d want to know a little about the person as well, it’s understandable. My part-time work is usually three to four days a week. I therefore have plenty of free time to take care of many furry friends. When I get home from work, my girlies and I love going for walks around the city to give her the necessary daily dose of exercise. After, they love to play fetch with real sticks, which is hilarious.

“Alison showed up and took in all requests on visit to care for my pets. She communicated well to ensure visits were timely and still needed. Her kind demeanor and rover cards after each visit were informative and captured happy pets as a result of her visit.”


“He was punctual and caring.”


“Super friendly and understanding! Used to big dogs and is very accommodating!”


“We only use Andrea from now on! Our cats love her so much and we love that we get updates, sweet pics, and peace of mind knowing our babies are well taken care of!”


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.

Terrie G.
“Mother Terrie is a dog whisperer. Especially loving and attentive to senior dogs with special needs. She has had several Italian greyhounds of her own from the Texas Italian Greyhound Rescue, so that made me feel confident she would care for my Iggys while I traveled abroad. She was great with my 18-year old senior iggy Gia, preparing her food and getting her daily seizure medication in there. She had snuggle blankets all over her home perfect for my dogs and they were very well-cared for able to walk around in her big gorgeous backyard with lots of flowers. We are using her again to watch our iggy Bianco over the Christmas holiday while we travel.”

Sarah is fantastic! She took such great care of our three cats and even looked after our fish—who wasn’t even on the schedule. We really appreciate how thoughtful and attentive she is. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Yesenia did a great job of taking care of our kitty, Oscar. He took to her right away. She provided pics and left messages as needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Samantha has been taking excellent care of my two dogs over the span of two years now. Reliable, trustworthy, and always providing great feedback, she makes my out of town trips less stressful and much more enjoyable. I highly recommend her.

Juli came highly recommended by my friends and now I know why! She was great and I absolutely look forward to booking her again to care for my dog.

Lilia is always absolutely fantastic with my two cattle dogs. She’s got a kind heart while at the same time understanding the difficulties that come with a dog who was severely abused as a puppy. I could not have found a better pal for my two boys than Lilia and I am very thankful. Every time she visits they are absolutely tickled pink she is there ! You will never make a mistake choosing Lilia as your dogs caregiver !!!
