About: My pet sitting skills are pretty diverse as young as a 13 week old kitten to a puppy that was a couple weeks old- my parents got a Covid puppy, the sweetest dachshund with the loudest bark!!! I would watch him daily for about a year straight before I moved out! I’ve lived with cats for the last two years, as well as always being around them constantly. My best friend has two of her own. (My nieces) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant in my neighborhood that is only open Wednesday through Sunday. I’ve only been getting about 2 to 3 shifts a week and would obviously like to add some income. I thought what a better way to spend my free time working a part-time job that could also be fulfilling!!! I am very intentive and will follow instruction to a T. I know that leaving your baby with someone else can be stressful, but I am here to give you peace of mind, comfort, and genuine care.

About: I have one acre of land that is fenced in. I am in a quiet neighborhood with a pool and tons of dog toys. I have 3 small dogs and a 1 year old that loves doggies. I currently have 3 dogs that I take care of day and night. I have a doggie door and a screened in porch for some shade. I am very attentive of dogs body language. Having a baby around 3 dogs has made me extremely aware of there stress signals. I also love cuddling and playing with dogs.

“Carina is the best! She took grwat care of our house and our babies while we were away. She was also flexible with our schedules. Our dogs love her and can't wait to use her service again 🐾🏡❤️”


“Kat is amazing! Our great dane loves her and she is so sweet with him. She is flexible extremely responsible, responsive and just a great human! We will be using her in the future for drop in and dog sitting for sure!!!”


“Heather was a wonderful pet and house sitter! Our furkids loved her and we came home to a house that looked like it did when we left. We will book her again! We give her a 5-dog rating! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶”


About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I'm trying to find someone who needs help taking care of their pets! I love animals and would love to spend time with your furbabies. I enjoy taking walks and having company with me would make the walks so much more exciting. Plus, everyone involved gets some exercise! I have experience taking care of dogs and cats and I am available for short notice care. Thank you and have a wonderful day! I will be available most days unless I already have something scheduled. Please message me and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am available to help with your animals on most days, as long as I do not have a prior engagement. Let me know what you need because I can be flexible with my schedule. At this time, I don't provide care in my home. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and checking in on either cats or dogs.

“Sarah agreed to watch our sweet pup last minute and did such a great job! She sent pics and updates and responded to all our inquiries promptly! She even complied with giving medications. Our dog came back healthy and happy (and tired from all the excitement)!”


About: I have had a love for Animals since I was around 12:00 had my pet for 17 years until he recently passed. I am home work based so able to give full attention to the pet. I work from home and my pet has been with me for 17 years and working from home he has given me that company that I needed while at home working daily I have a very large backyard that is fenced in and that allows the pets to run freely or they can be tied on a Long Leash. The pet can be kept inside I do not suggest caging

About: Hi, I’m Daniel! I’ve been a proud dog owner for years, and I currently care for three amazing pups: Thor (a Cane Corso), Max (a Husky), and Ariel (a Maltese). Each one has their own personality, and I’ve built a real bond with them over time. One of the things I genuinely love is taking my dogs out for walks. I enjoy being outside, feeling the sunshine, and walking my two bigger dogs, it brings me peace and happiness. Thor is a gentle giant I raised from a puppy after getting him from a family friend. I wasn’t sure what kind of dog he’d grow up to be, but with patience and training (like I’ve done with all my dogs), he’s become incredibly sweet and well-behaved. Max has been by my side for the past few years and has been one of the best companions I’ve ever had. Ariel is more of a family dog, but as a Maltese, she’s full of love, always wagging her tail, and constantly looking for pets and attention. Caring for them has taught me a lot, not just about responsibility, but about how to really connect with dogs and understand what they need. I’m currently in flight school, and pet care has become something I truly enjoy doing on the side. Whether your dog needs a calm walk, some playtime, or just someone kind to keep them company, I’m here to help however I can, and I’ll treat them with the same care I give my own. Pet care fits really naturally into my life. I already walk my own dogs every morning and evening, so taking care of other dogs doesn’t feel like extra work, it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m currently in flight school, so my weekday schedule can vary a bit, but I always make time for the dogs I’m responsible for. I’m usually available in the afternoons and evenings during the week, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. If I commit to caring for your dog, you can count on me to show up, be consistent, and treat your pet like one of my own. I’ll always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering. When it comes to caring for pets, I take safety and comfort seriously. Whether I’m watching your dog in your home or stopping by for a walk or drop-in, I always try to create a calm and welcoming environment. I pay close attention to how each dog reacts to new spaces and people, every pet has their own personality, and I respect that. I keep things clean, stick to routines, and make sure pets have everything they need: food, water, exercise, and affection. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I’d expect from someone watching over mine. I’m always gentle, never forceful, and I never leave a dog unattended in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation. I know how much pets mean to their families, mine mean everything to me — and I’ll do my best to earn your trust and make your pet feel right at home. I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions: Respect the owner's specific instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and other care requirements.

About: New to Rover! I love & care for dogs and other pets! I was raised with a house dog, the best friend ever! I love walking around my neighborhood and neighborhood lake. I’m a proud Army Veteran that works from home. My schedule is flexible. So, plenty of time for bonding and cuddles with your fur baby! I have a huge gated backyard for your fur baby(s) to stretch. I also have a sweet doodle that loves to play as well! Let the fun begin!

“We have been looking to find a long-term pet sitter to watch my three retrievers. Darian responded quickly and did a meet and greet before her stay. I immediately felt comfortable with her in my home and she bonded with my boys right away. During our trip, Darian sent plenty of updates, photos and videos. She had the boys squeaky clean and smelling great when we returned home. She was very respectful of our home and left it clean and tidy. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi, I'm Tatum! I grew up in a multi-pet household, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between! I offer drop-in visits, overnight stays, and dog walking and am happy to coordinate feeding schedules and playtime for multiple pets. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friends! I’m a teacher and coach during the school year so I typically get home in the late afternoon time. During the summer, I’m usually free! I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility. I intend on delivering the same respect to the home and pet that I would like to receive.

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. I use to have my own pet sitting business in Texas for 6 years part time called Comfy Critters and was insured and bonded.

I am overall dedicated to making sure that all animals are taking care of, stress free in there own homes while owners were away. All animals are treated like my own. It has always been my main concern as a pet sitter to make sure all pet owners and their animals are comfortable, and worry free while in my care at all times. I developed a lot of good relationships with all my clients. Rewarding to know animals and pet owners were/ are happy!!! I work from home, and have the flexibility to set time aside to care for your fur babies as I care for my own! When it comes to care they are #1 Priority. At this time, currently don't have availability to take in any dogs into my home. I will go to your home for your comfort and ease.

About: I am going to school to become a vet tech. I work in a vet clinic in Midlothian! I enjoy every minute with any animal! I am available during to week! I am always on time and I respond quickly back to you! I always make sure I need everything! I keep an eye out on everything, anything I see unusual I let someone know immediately. I am well aware of any changes or situation.

About: I started pet sitting while working as a vet assistant throughout college. I now enjoy caring for furbabies of all sizes for fun. I feel I provide them safe stimulation while they bring me non-stop joy. I am happy to provide extra services (nail clipping, teeth brushing, bathing) when needed. I am also comfortable with nuances of feeding a raw diet to your furbabies as I have kept all of mine on this regimen for over 10 years now. I am happy to keep your dogs on strict leash walks, take to off leash parks or work on any training youre seeking while out of town or unable to be around in sudden moments. You can feel at ease knowing your fur family will be loved and well cared for!

The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic.

Your pets will be given the best of care. We love receiving pictures and updates from Cassidy while we were away. Beau always enjoys their walks, playtime outside and lots of cuddles.
