Pet Sitting New Home

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, including family and after eight great years working in a PetHotel I’ve wanted to continue my love for pets Moved back home to Texas, losing our oldest fur baby. Getting back to a normal, I enjoy animals. They are in fact what make our world go round If given a quick rundown of things your pups enjoy I will make a great effort to fulfill them as well as giving lots of love. If needing more socializing, I can make trips to pet friendly places to help get started/better

“New to Rover, I could not ask for a more perfect experience with Amy! She was so kind and responsive! She evidently loved my sweet dogs and sent the most precious pictures! I will absolutely use her again!”

About: I'm a West Texas native — born here, schooled in El Paso, graduate work at Texas Tech — who spent twenty years in the Seattle area before coming home to Lubbock. I've been caring for animals professionally since 2003, most of that as All Shook Up Dogs and Design in Washington, where I served more than 200 regular clients: drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, vet and groom transport, medication administration, and senior care. Alongside it I've been a nonprofit executive director, a dance educator, and a small business owner, and I'm currently finishing a master's in art history. I hold degrees from the University of Notre Dam, Texas Tech, and Northeastern. What all of it has in common is showing up on time for people who are counting on me. My own dogs are the reason I'm good at this. I have six, and they are not decorative. We train — herding, agility, nose work, and a frankly unreasonable amount of ball. I cook for them. I study canine behavior and nutrition the way I study anything else, which is to say obsessively. I've spent years in Australian Shepherd rescue and have served on the national board of a breed rescue organization since 2012, which means I've seen what happens to smart dogs whose needs go unmet. That's why my specialty is herding breeds. A bored Aussie, Border Collie, or Heeler doesn't need another lap around the block — it needs a job. Reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs with complicated medical routines are all welcome here. I work in your home so your pet keeps their own routine, their own bed, and their own smells. You'll get photos and an honest update every visit. I have full availability Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and I can take early morning and late evening visits the rest of the week around a standing commitment. Holidays are usually open — just ask. Midday and recurring visits are my sweet spot. If your dog needs a reliable lunchtime break while you're at work, I can build a standing schedule and keep it consistent week after week. I take a limited number of clients so nobody gets a rushed visit. I'm building toward pet care full-time, so my availability will keep opening up. If we're not a fit for your dates right now, ask me again in a few months. I work in your home, on your pet's schedule. Before the first visit we'll do a walk-through together — feeding, medications, where the leash lives, which door sticks, what your dog does when the doorbell rings, and who your vet is. I'd rather ask ten questions up front than guess once. Dogs stay leashed unless you've told me otherwise and the space is genuinely secure. I lock up behind me every time, and I'll bring in mail, rotate lights, and water plants so the house looks lived in while you're gone. If something seems off — a refused meal, limping, vomiting, a dog who just isn't acting like themselves — you'll hear from me right away, and I'll get to your vet or the emergency clinic if that's what's needed. Nothing gets hidden or held back for an end-of-trip summary. I have dogs of my own at home and I change clothes and wash up between households, so nothing travels from my place to yours.

About: Hi! My name is Katia, I am new to the rover app:)caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for almost a decade. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 18, and now at 27, I have years of experience understanding the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every dog unique. I’m also a proud dog mom to Apollo, my German Shepherd who has been by my side since high school, and Sierra, my sweet mixed breed rescue. Rescuing Sierra has made me especially passionate about giving dogs a safe, patient, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care currently fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to dedicate a significant amount of time and attention to caring for my clients’ pets. This allows me to be flexible with drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and different schedules depending on each pet’s needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, especially when they are in their own home. Since my dogs do not do well around unfamiliar animals, I will provide care exclusively in my client’s home, which also allows your pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe.

“Savannah is so sweet, accommodating and communicates very well! Will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our 3 furry critters loved her and so did we!”

About: I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for! I am a current grad student at Tech and a massive animal lover and have a relatively flexible schedule to fit your needs. I am available most mornings and all evenings, and since I am from California, I usually stay around Lubbock for most major holidays. I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for 8 years, and I genuinely love dogs! I worked as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic, where I got to care for all kinds of dogs, tiny puppies full of energy, paralyzed dogs, and sweet 16 year old seniors who needed a little extra love and attention. I’m very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love playing with them, going on walks, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while they’re with me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, since I have one of my own and I’ll always do my best to give them the same love and care you would! I currently have a very open schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I’m flexible with times and happy to accommodate whatever schedule works best for you and your pup! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m very attentive and will follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, and bathroom routines.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets and those of family friends while they are out of town. I love animals and understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I am dependable, patient, and dedicated to treating every pet like my own! Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.

“This was our first time leaving our pets with a sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Felicia was absolutely amazing—patient, caring, and truly attentive to our pets’ needs. She kept in great communication the entire 4 days, sending regular updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. It was clear our pets were in loving hands. We came home to happy, relaxed animals and a clean home. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets, both growing up and currently. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dog walking and house sitting, and I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and reliable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just providing loving companionship, my goal is to give your pet excellent care and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work remotely, so I am available during the day (aside from scheduled meetings). I have open availability during the evenings and weekends. If you have a specific schedule, just let me know and I can work around my work schedule. I enjoy taking walks with my dogs, as well as yours! I am patient, yet firm with commands. I provide quality play time and just general cuddles with fur babies!

About: I've had many dogs ranging from senior to puppy and love them all with their different quirks. All animals require something different and am willing to jump in to whatever they need! I am currently a freshman at TTU in the Pre-veterinary track. Outside of my set class schedule I am free to whenever you need me! I love walking dogs and playing with them. Whatever you ask such as crating I am more than willing to take care of. I do not mind I will listen to what your pet needs and make it happen.

“Daniel is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch and take care of my cats! He sent a lot of photos and kept us updated regularly. He really goes above and beyond to make sure your animals are cared for exactly as you wished.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. During college, I volunteered for four years at a cat sanctuary, where I helped with daily feeding routines, administering medications, monitoring health, and socializing them to prepare for adoption. Whether your pet needs playtime, meds, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I’m currently spending most of my time studying for med school applications, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around feedings, check-ins, and quality time. I’m very used to sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent, reliable care. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a familiar environment by providing timely feedings, fresh water, medication as needed, litter box maintenance, and attentive observation of behavior or health changes. I also make sure pets receive appropriate playtime, enrichment, and calm companionship. My experience volunteering at a cat sanctuary has taught me to be patient, detail-oriented, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.
