About: Pet Care Experience I’ve spent over 10 years caring for my own pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for pets through pet sitting for friends and family, which helped me gain experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s sense of comfort and routine while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I approach every pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. My calm, observant nature helps me pick up on subtle cues—whether it’s a dog needing a bit more playtime or a cat preferring quiet companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for older pets, and following specific routines. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I adapt to meet their needs with care and consistency. My Schedule I currently work full time, with the ability to work remotely a few days a week. This flexibility allows me to provide morning, evening, and lunchtime visits on most weekdays, and I’m typically available throughout the day on weekends. On remote workdays, I can offer more frequent check-ins and companionship for pets who need a little extra attention. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets feel safest and most relaxed in their own familiar space, which is why I prefer house sitting. Staying in your home allows me to keep your pet’s routine consistent and their environment stress-free. I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining a calm, clean, and secure atmosphere for your pet. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or quiet companionship, I focus on building trust through gentle, attentive care—so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I absolutely adore dogs of all sizes and breeds and have experience working with a variety of personalities and training stages from my 6+ years fostering over 30 dogs with Houston Pets Alive and Austin Pets Alive. I fostered failed my own little pup 1 year ago and she's the light of my life. I'm a 4th year medical student with some free time and would love to care for your pets! I have a lot of vacation months and months where my time in clinic/the hospital will be very limited so I am able to spend a lot of time with your pups! Happy to discuss specifics and accommodate your pet's needs! I'd love to do a meet and greet beforehand (free of charge) where I can meet your dog, familiarize myself with your home, and learn about everything I need to keep your pup safe and happy!
About: I have 2 rescue dogs of my own whom I love very much. One has a bad abuse history, so I am familiar with dogs who have sensitive backgrounds & the care & patience that comes with it. I will treat your home with the same respect I have for my own as I will treat your dogs with the same love I show my own. I’m currently very flexible as I’m only working part time, so my availability for last minute scheduling comes in handy! I do have many hobbies and like to travel often, so there is a cancellation policy. Weekdays and weekends are equally available. I will treat your home as if it were my own with the utmost respect & care. Your fur babies will feel loved & cared for by me whether we’re outside playing in the sun or cuddled up on the couch watching a favorite movie.

Karla A.
“Karla is truly a one-of-a-kind pet [and house] sitter. I’ve had the pleasure of hiring her multiple times to care for my two dogs and two cats, and each time she exceeds expectations. One of my dogs was a large 80lb Staffordshire with complex medical needs, and the other is a blind, arthritic senior dog who requires extra patience and care. Despite the challenges, Karla handles everything with calm competence and genuine compassion. She not only provides attentive, specialized care for my dogs but also ensures my cats are well-fed, played with, and comfortable. It’s clear she cares deeply about all animals and treats them like her own. On top of that, she takes excellent care of my home always leaving it clean, organized, and just as I left it. Whether I’m out of town for a few days or away on a long day trip, Karla is my go-to sitter. Knowing she’s looking after my pets and home gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible, experienced, and loving caregiver for their pets.”

Annie Z.
“Annie is an amazing pet sitter/dog walker. She is reliable, communicates effectively, always sends plenty of pictures and updates, and truly cares for your pets as if they were her own. Even with the challenges that come at times with walking my dogs, Annie has always walked them and taken care of them with no complaints. Anytime I go out of town or need someone to check in on the dogs if I’m at work for long hours, I always ask Annie because I know I have nothing to worry about if she’s taking care of my babies. Highly recommend!”

“The dogs loved her, our family loved her, all around excellent experience having Katarina as our house sitter! Your dogs are in very good hands!”
Medical pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is a fantastic sitter! She’s prompt, communicative and is a cat-pro. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are well cared for while we’re away, and they absolutely love her. She makes leaving them in her care stress-free, and we always come home to happy kitties.
It was my first experience with Rover and Siyu is outstanding! She came to meet my cat and me on the day I booked and she showed carefulness and thoughtfulness from the beginning. My cat Biscuit, a cautious lady, likes Siyu. When I finally went home Biscuit went out and was like "Wow the human again? Oh it's Mom :)" She was well taken of and got lots of butt scratches and pets. Siyu followed my instructions so well. I will definitely book again!
Absolutely fantastic sitter, extremely reliable, amazing with my doggie possum, flexible and friendly. I only wish we could keep using Melodys services!!

Daniela was extremely patient with my timid cat (who also needed her asthma inhaler everyday). We had an unexpected travel issue and she was flexible/ensured that our kitty was taken well care of. On top of that, we had an unexpected house plumbing issue and she was super communicative and helpful with that. It was a crazy first catsitting experience and she handled it like a pro. Would definitely recommend!
Michael did an excellent job caring for my cat while I was away for the week. He spent quality time with my cat, and made sure everything was taken care of. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures and knowing my pet was in good hands. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. I would definitely book with Michael again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, he truly shows he cares about your pet.
Our cats are usually really shy around others but Gage was able to get them to come out and interact so quickly within our first booking, we were impressed! This shows how dedicated, attention giving and patient she was with them. Great communication too. Highly recommend!
Cristina was a huge help with my senior German Shepherd, Ike. I had a busy day at work and couldn't get home in time, and she stepped in and made sure he got the care and attention he needed. She was so patient with him on his walk and really tuned in to his pace and needs. Her updates gave me real peace of mind, and I could tell Ike was in good hands. I'm so grateful for her help! I'd absolutely recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
