House Sitting Merit

“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life! From just being an ffa to now being a veterinary assistant with a little fur baby dachshund of my own ! I have always loved and enjoyed working and caring for animals. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic but have a flexible schedule! I do work every other weekend so would definitely have to talk about my openings! I am always open for stop in visits! Will be able to stop in before and after work! I have a yard with a good amount of play space, as well as another pup to play along with. My home is their home and will take care of them just like my own!

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

About: I have over 10 years of experience providing reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats. My pet sitting journey began over a decade ago, while I was in high school, caring for my neighbors' pets and homes, and over the years, my business has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations through those same neighbors and several coworkers across various jobs, as well as caring for family members' pets. Whether keeping up with energetic dogs, maintaining strict feeding routines, or providing gentle companionship for cats, I pride myself on giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they are away through consistent communication and transparency. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. Because I work part-time with flexible hours, I am easily able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s specific needs and feeding routines. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, mid-day attention, evening check-ins, or all day cuddles and companionship, I build my day around ensuring your pet gets timely, uninterrupted care. When caring for pets in your home, I make it my mission to ensure the safety of your pets and your home's security are always met. I treat your home with total respect by ensuring doors, gates, and windows remain securely shut and entry codes/keys are strictly safeguarded. Whether walking dogs on-leash or spending time inside with cats, I am always vigilant about their surroundings and body language. I closely follow all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, conduct double-checks on doors and fences before leaving, and send detailed updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.

“Rachel took such great care of our fur babies while we were on vacation. Loved all the cute pics and updates! Definitely will rebook. Thanks Rachel!”

“We were very happy with Joleen’s care of our cat and house while we were away. She took such great care of Kit Kit who is not the most social or friendliest cat around, otherwise known as a PIA. We received picture updates and were so surprised how she had the cat eating out of her hand in no time. The house was immaculate when we returned… we couldn’t ask for anything more. You will never want to use anybody else!”

“Such an amazing sitter! Was very attentive to my high energy pup and loved on her for a whole weekend for me!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have been around dogs and cats and have taken care of friends and family's pets. I volunteered at the animal shelter in Mckinney for 2 years. I currently am fostering a friend's two cats while they get back on their feet. I have a corgi that I have had since a puppy and two cats. I currently work Monday-Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, but I work from home which gives me flexibility to watch your pet. I can do overnights if needed. If a pet comes to my home I have a fenced backyard with a corgi that loves other dogs and cats. I have plenty of dog and cat toys. My cats, also, don't mind other pets.

“Chris was awesome. She took wonderful care of our animals and home while we were out of town. She kept us posted with updates and pictures and our cat and dog had a great time with her. I would 100% recommend Chris for animal and house sitting needs.”

About: Ever since I was young , I have been around all sorts of animals and taking care of them. I help take care of my senior cocker spaniel. I raised two guinea pigs, a rabbit, dogs, cats, kittens, hamsters, fish, and birds. I went into the professional business as a Pet bather At a dog boarding facility and later started working in a veterinary clinic as a caregiver/nurse. I currently work from home so I have full-time availability to take out dogs as much as needed. Give them proper attention, playtime, outdoor activities and walks. I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs that love to play. I know how to follow routines and take them out early in the morning until late at night making sure they are fed happy and out of extra energy.

About: Well, most & foremost I transport pets not just dogs/cats across the United States from a person buying it from a pet store or a friend, etc to their destination of choice w/my set price. I also have my certificate in USDA for pets that I’ll upload in pictures. Moving forward I’ve walked dogs, bathe a cat & dog, was a pet sitter for cats/dogs and puppies. Am very good at communicating & reading/following my clients notes when it comes to food time/preparation or anything relatable to your lovable pet. SN: am very good at belly rubs if your animal loves that since that’s an all time favorite thing for puppies or cats period 😁 Am currently self-employed working on my terms so the time needed to cater/care for a client pet is a blessing to me. I prefer weekdays the most but wouldn’t mind a weekend for some pet attention😃 my availability will be open on ALL days unless something comes up unexpectedly but am a reasonable person w/others times/days etc. I currently help/ take care of my sons father female American bully whom I love. She’s very very smart & alert. So therefore, if I welcome/get that opportunity for a new pet into my home for boarding etc pls believe am treating him/her w/all the love possible. Pet toys & pet food isn’t a problem to me either you can provide your own but am very willing and can accommodate as well on my end.

“Haley was so great with our 2 pups, they were well taken care of and Haley kept us posted with pics and updates! Highly recommend!”

About: I have extensive experience with pets from doggy daycares to grooming shops to vet clinics. I have been pet sitting and grooming for the last 10 years. My home is basically for my furr babies. They're allowed on the furniture even though they have 5 of their own beds and 4 little hidey houses. They literally have over 100 toys, all kinds, that they are willing to share with any pup they welcome in here. The house is theirs, I just live here and clean up after them. I work from home and I have classes that are mostly online so, I am home basically all day. I'll be able to watch the dogs all day and I let them go outside about every hour or so to go potty. I have a fenced in yard with a few chickens in the yard. I have an above ground pool with a floating doggy dock to make it easy for them to get out of the pool if they ever jump in but its usually closed off unless it is being actively used. I have 2 friendly shih tzu sisters that are spoiled rotten and 2 little kittens that love playing with the dogs. Dogs can go on all furniture and there are plenty of toys to play with. There are a bunch of dog beds and comfy spots for them to chill inside.

“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”

Ashley F.

About: Taken care of animals since I can remember. I've been known to be called the dog/cat whisperer. I have a heart for animals and that makes all the difference. I have plenty of time to care, play, and take care of the needs of your pet- whether that's a walk, bath, play time, etc. I have a spacious dog park, dog fountains, snacks, patio, toys, and a warm inviting atmosphere for your pet. There's a ton of animals in my community- your pet is sure to find a friend!

“Jeromy kept in touch everyday with updates, photos/ videos, and questions when they came up. He showed his caring for my dog and her wellbeing.”

Theresa M.

About: I'm ready to spoil your fur babies with endless love, belly rubs and top notch care while you're away. I'll treat them just like my own and send you plenty of cute photo updates. I can't wait to become your pet's new best friend! I am currently working full time and will be available anytime after 5pm and on the weekends. I offer drop ins and also dog walking. I can come walk, play with, feed your dog or cat, in your own home. I will follow your care instructions and ensure your baby receives top notch care while you're away.

“Kristie was hands down the best Rover that’s taken care of my 2 boys and home — and I’ve had both great and seriously bad experiences with the service. She was my literal third and last try at finding a Rover housesitter before I was ready to quit the service, and I’m so glad I didn’t give up. From the start, Kristie was incredibly respectful of my home and, most importantly, fully in tune with my dogs’ preferences, routines, and quirks. She even replaced a banana on my counter that was dying before she even got there and left the house in impeccable condition — she also left my couch super cute with all its decor and didn’t leave a single dish in the sink! That level of care and attention to detail really set her apart. She asked thoughtful questions whenever something seemed off and made sure to keep me updated regularly with photos and messages, so I always knew how things were going. Kristie’s care and attentiveness completely restored my trust in Rover. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that my dogs felt comfortable. I’m beyond grateful I took one more shot at this and ended up finding her — she’s truly a game-changer.”

Kyle M.

About: I’m patient, reliable, and I give pets a lot of attention and care. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very organized and make time for check-ins, feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine exactly and paying attention to their behavior. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give pets a calm, stress-free space. I always handle pets gently, stay aware of their comfort levels, and keep you updated so you can trust they’re safe and well cared for.

“Haley is the best sitter we have had! She takes the time to meet and understand your dogs’ needs first. I really appreciate all the updates she provides-videos, photos and messages so you know what is going on with your babies. She is extremely kind to my dogs and communicates very well. Highly recommend!”
