“Conner was awesome! We are new to Dallas and Texas! Finding someone to trust enough to stay in your home and watch your furry loved ones is so hard!! He communicated great, sent pics, made sure she got her cancer meds, and frankly exceeded my expectations. He will definitely be our go-to guy from now on!”
“Eliana was great with our 2 dogs. She followed my instructions and gave updates on the pups while we were gone. I was very comfortable with her taking care of them and wouldn't hesitate to schedule with her again.”
“Maria was fantastic! We left on a weeklong trip and Maria not only took such great care of our pups, but she went above and beyond to spoil them. We appreciate the constant communication and feeling like we could leave out fur babies in great hands! Thank you for everything and we look forward to our next booking with you!”
“Marlies has sat for our elderly dog many times and it's always an easy experience. I trust that my dog is safe, she's always calm and happy when we come home, and Marlies has the magic touch that she can always get our stubborn dog to take her medicine!”
“We used Arisha for the first time this past weekend for staying at our home with our beloved fur baby as a trial before we went on a longer vacation. My experience was nothing but positive. She was on time. Communicated regularly. Sent photos and left our house as we had left it. I look forward to using her again and have already booked with her. Highly recommend.”
“Communicated/ responded quickly. Sent pics a couple times a day. Loved to see our pup happy. Comfortable with dogs and able to assess if our old dog was having an issue. House was clean and in order when we returned.”
“Louann did a great time taking care of our old girl. She arrived on time. She asked important questions. She sent photos and an update daily. We arrived home to a clean house and a happy pup!”
“Ashley is great! Pixie took to her right away and we recieved pictures of Pixie sitting cuddling with Ashley. I'm so glad we found Ashley. We'll be using her for other times we need to go out.”
About: I’ll return them bathed and scented! The most charming way to ensure your pet is pampered with love and warmth, just like at home, while you enjoy your travels, is by leaving them with someone who loves pets as much as you do. I offer that kind of care where your furry friend will receive all the affection and fun they need so they won’t miss you too much while you’re away. Your pet will feel right at home, and you can travel worry-free! I usually spend a large part of the day playing with and petting each dog, not forgetting rest time, meals, and snacks, while they listen to instrumental music for dogs. I try to make them feel loved and relaxed, even if they miss their human parents. My house is spacious, quiet, and safe, with a large backyard that they have access to every two hours, for a maximum of 20 minutes each time. Water is always available for your pets, as well as toys for dogs. Every day, they get their snacks and take naps while listening to instrumental music for dogs.
“Kayleigh, Thank you so much for loving our fur babies! You were amazing! Beau and Bella were so happy to see is and it was you who made this trip worry free!!! Thank you!”
“Mercedes was great - needed a sitter last minute to come house sit for a few hours. She showed up when the last rover sitter we tried to book had cancelled on us last minute. Agreed to come by and do a meet and greet the same day we needed to find kenji a sitter. Very reliable. Kenji seemed to absolutely love her company while we were gone. Will definitely use her for house visits in the future!”
“Jane was so sweet and great with my pets. She was flexible and understanding when our plans had to change due to unforeseen circumstances. She was a real blessing. She was punctual, thorough, and was consistent with checking in so I knew my pets were well taken care of! Totally recommend her to everyone!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I wasnt sure what to expect. Sabrina took amazing care of my two crazy babies and sent me so many picture updates! She exceeded my expectations! Planning on rebooking her in the future!”
“Ashlee was wonderful with our pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being. We loved getting updates and knowing they were happy, safe, and well taken care of. It was such a relief to come home to calm, happy pups. We would absolutely book Ashlee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets.”
“Sara did an amazing job! She gave me updates daily and sent pictures of my fur babies. Unfortunately one of them ended up with a stomach issue and she was so kind to clean all the messes and wash the linens. I would use Sara again!”
“I spoke to Avon (my dog) when I got home last night and she told me all about her new best friend Amy who came and stayed with her last night. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone who is in need of a sitter for their pets! She is very professional and caring! She contacted me when she arrived, sent pictures during her stay, and left my house in the same condition as I left it to her! This was the first time I have ever left my dog with anyone that isn’t my family and Amy came through like a rockstar! I will absolutely use Amy in the future! Thank you for everything you did for Avon!”

Ashlee was outstanding in building a relationship with our two dogs. She was a wonderful house guest while we were gone and put the dogs in top priority while we were gone. I trusted her completely and the dogs loved her - as we could tell from the videos and photos she sent us.
Mary Teresa was our in-home house sitter while we were away for nearly 4 weeks. She was very responsive to our suggestion to set up a meet-and-greet before engaging her, as well as 2 additional orientation sessions before she moved into our house. She was communicative throughout the process, and left our house and our dogs in great shape. We would strongly recommend her services.
Brittany was incredible taking care of our 4 fur babies. We were impressed with her energy and excitement during our meet and greet. She took notes on instructions and followed them exactly. She kept us informed through pictures and videos which were truly appreciated. Great young lady, very energetic, personable, trustworthy and respectful. Highly recommend and will use her again. Great Job Brittany and Thank You
Maria was fantastic! We left on a weeklong trip and Maria not only took such great care of our pups, but she went above and beyond to spoil them. We appreciate the constant communication and feeling like we could leave out fur babies in great hands! Thank you for everything and we look forward to our next booking with you!
Very attentive to our pups. It was very stormy during the time and I knew our dogs probably were muddy and gross but the house looked great when we came back so I assume she cleaned up a bit to help. Sent plenty of messages and updates. 10/10, would book again.
Yiana was recommended to me by my regular pet-sitter and started off on a great foundation of trust. This was a last-minute request and Yiana was more than accommodating and extremely easy and polite to talk to. Paris was extremely comfortable and felt right at home while she was at Yiana. Yiana also shared regular pics and updates of Paris - extremely critical for me to know Paris was doing ok, considering her first time with Yiana. I really appreciated that Yiana made Paris wear pets' car seat belt when she took her over to her parents'. I only have great things to say about her and safe to say, I have found my go-to sitter for Paris. Highly recommended !!
