“This was my first time using Rover so I didn't know what to expect. Booking was simple with Mary. She is very responsive and flexible. She came by before my travel for a meet and greet with my dog. He liked her and seemed very comfortable. During my trip there was great communication and pictures which showed my dog being very happy to spend time with her. She's a great choice if you're looking for reliability!”


About: I have had pets (dogs) for 7 years. They truly become a member of the family. I walk our own dogs sometimes 2 times a day, I play catch with them in the yard, and will take them for rides in the car. All of our pets have been pet trained and potty trained successfully. I am a teacher so right now I am at home with my 3 boys. I don't want to teach summer School because I need to be home most of the day with my boys and I want to enjoy my summer. This is a great time for me because I do have a 14 year old who can babysit while I am away but also because I need a flexible schedule since he is doing football and strength and conditioning. My husbands paychecks have not been very consistently and I am trying to help out where I can but also spend time and enjoy the summer with my kiddos. I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I always make sure my dog has water available, comfortable bedding, and I walk our dogs and show good pet ownership by making sure we pick up any doodies in neighboring yards.

About: I've owned dogs growing up, as well as watched pets(mainly dogs, cats, and snakes) for family and neighbors for about 10 years now! I have walked, fed, bathed, as well as given different medications to pets, and am comfortable with any breed. I am a fresh college graduate, looking for a good summer time gig! Aside from pet sitting, I also do uber eats/doordash. While pet sitting, I do not have to do deliveries if you would prefer! If needed, I can crate your pets. I am able to walk, pick up, and transport pets as needed. I personally have a lot of energy, so I will happily run around with your pets to get the energy out!

“I had to find someone ASAP to help me with letting my dog Max out for a potty break and get some exercise in while I am working during the day. I found their profile messaged them for a”

That is exactly how your baby will feel when they are with me My home is fenced off with open fields perfect for the wildest zoomies. Your pup will have access to water at all times, being fed according to your directions, along with lots of tummy rubs, hugs, and naps. And you can bet they are allowed on all furniture, when they are in my home we treat them like family. My goal is to show you can trust me with your fur baby and know that they are in good hands and will feel just as loved as at home. Currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give to your dogs or cats.

I promise to spoil your fur babies as I know they deserve! I will follow your lead wherever they are cared for and whatever the needs are for your pet(s). I would be honored to roll out the red carpet treatment we know your furry friends deserve, just tell me when, where, and how you do things!

Please know your schedule will mix with our schedule to keep the regularity of the pet(s) schedule as consistent and in line with yours as possible. Our home has a large fenced yard and approximately 20 miles of trails for their walks and exercise. If they are able to go to the dog park that is great too. It's alm up to your comfort.

About: I’ve had 1 year of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and administering basic medications, I understand the unique needs of each pet. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a shy cat, I take the time to build trust and create a calm, loving environment. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I am currently on summer break! but finishing my last semester of nursing school in the fall! Currently looking for a part time job during the summer! Hi! My name is Emberly, and I offer reliable and loving pet sitting services in the comfort of your home. I understand that pets feel most safe and happy in their familiar environment, so I make it my goal to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them company and affection, I care for every pet like they’re my own.

About: Greetings! My name is Kay. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and even as a child, I knew I wanted to have a career based on that love. I grew up on Animal Planet, and spent my time studying everything about animals, from Herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians, to Cynology, the study of Canines. I’ve cared for pets for my entire life, and there was never a time when my home wasn’t filled with the sounds of birds chirping, Guinea Pigs squeaking, cats meowing, or dogs barking. From 0-8 legs, I’ve had them all, including mice, hamsters, various lizards and snakes, frogs, fish, turtles, and even insects. Out of everything that I have loved, no relationships have brought me greater joy than the ones I have fostered with my dogs, and so I have devoted my life to the care and study of the Canine, including aspects such as general health, nutrition, disease and illness, behavior, and obedience. As a professional Dog Trainer, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of dogs, as well as people. I regularly train puppies, pure and mixed breed dogs, and seniors, and I have assisted people with house-training, training a deaf dog, dealing with behavior issues, trauma, and medical diagnoses. I have experience with hunting dogs, Guard/Patrol dogs, ESA’s, large and small breeds, and all ages, and I am looking forward to getting to know your dog too. My schedule varies depending on the needs of my clients, and I travel from Little Elm to McKinney to Trenton on a regular basis for training sessions, drop ins, or walks. Exercise is a big part of my daily routine, and I'm more than happy to bring your dog along for the run. There are many things that dogs need in order to be not only happy, but healthy as well. I believe proper animal husbandry requires a foundation of knowledge on aspects such as Animal Behavior, diet and nutrition, health, exercise, and general wellness. When I take care of a pet, I am taking care of more than just food and water. I regularly check my own dogs for parasites, both external and internal, perform basic procedures such as ear cleaning, tooth brushing, nail trimming, and scan them for medical issues. When I visit your house, I will keep my eyes open for parasites, injuries, behavioral issues, and potential environmental hazards, while feeding, watering, exercising, and playing with your dog. I think exercise and play time are huge factors in a dog's quality of life, and I will make it my mission to ensure that your dog gets plenty of both. As a professional Dog Trainer, I also believe a happy dog is a well trained dog, and I would be happy to offer any necessary training assistance or tips while I’m there!

About: Have taken care of dogs of all sizes, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and medication regiment. Have dog sat in our home, client’s home, and have done daily check in sits. Reliable, dependable, and genuine care for the well-being of your furry family member while you’re away! I Work from home and am salaried with a very flexible work schedule. Can be mobile all day and open on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of dog toys and treats, and kennels/ dog beds available. We can adhere to any feeding schedule and can have regular trips outside to go potty.

About: I have a strong passion for taking care of pets and I will care for yours as my own. From birth I have been around dogs and cats, I grew up learning how to take care of them. I have had experience taking care of livestock chickens, pigs, goats, cows, horses. I believe animals are the only pure thing we have left in this world. They deserve the most love and attention we can give! I genuinely care about you and your pets needs! I am very flexible and communicative! I work for myself, I have the ability to work whatever hours I choose with my job so that I have the time with the dogs! I like to keep your pets on their typical schedule that they’re used to with you. I can understand without you they can get anxious, I make sure to give them extra pets for reassurance.
