“Keana was wonderful in caring for our pets while on vacation. We haven’t done this with an overnight sitter before so we were nervous but she came and met us and our animals which put us at ease with her way with the dogs and cat. While away she sent us videos daily and let us know how they were doing! She offered to stay later if there was a travel hang up too. The house was also spotless when we got home! I highly recommend her and will def use Keana again!”


“Absolutely the best! Katie was very understanding, patient and sweet with our dog despite the dog being timid. Took great care of my pup and home while I was gone! Would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”


“This was our first time using Rover and Paige was our sitter while we were out of town. She stayed at our house with our one dog for five days. She did a wonderful job! She worked well with our dog who has some physical and behavioral special needs. She gave us multiple photos and updates every day to let us know how he was doing and had great communication with us. She also followed all of our requests with our dog and kept our home very clean. We will definitely be requesting Paige to be our sitter again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Paige!”


“Teresa was amazing! She requested to come meet Penny and learn her routine before the night I was gone to make it easier for my girl. I received lots of pictures while I was gone, several of them with Penny snuggled in Teresa’s lap! She made sure Penny got her medicine as directed. I would absolutely trust Teresa to stay with my baby again!”


“Jodi is so great with my old gal, Cici. Who I am constantly nervous and anxious about leaving behind when I take trips. Jodi does such an excellent job of keeping me up to date and answering all of my silly paranoid questions. Knowing that Jodi is there for my pupper when I’m gone puts my mind and heart at such ease. I’m so happy she’s available to us!”


“Absolutely amazing! Goes above and beyond and you can tell she truly loves taking care of the pups! Our dog was not feeling well and could not go to his normal boarding place so we tried Rover for the first time and luckily we found Lael! She could handle the meds and the special diet and gave him lot's of extra love!”


About: I have a wide variety of experience caring for animals, all the way from cats to horses! With two dogs and two cats of my own (and many more throughout the years), I’ve faced my fair share of complications and situations but have been able to handle them accordingly. I’ve had to care for pets with arthritis, hip and bone disease and elderly pets as well new puppies. I’m experienced in basic training such as sit, stay, and lay down. As of right now, I’m in the transfer between highschool and college, but I care for my pets daily. They are kept on a feeding schedule and get their daily exercise. I will treat your babies like my own! Depending on their needs, they will receive walks, playtime, nap times, and just plain fun! I like to keep them involved with my daily life (car rides, dog parks, etc.) and allow them to become comfortable with me on their own time! Every dog or cat is different and I’m willing to do whatever to make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy while you’re out!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a child, and took that to heart when finding my first job. I have worked in two Natural Pet markets, establishing my experience in pet nutrition and well-being. Not only will I give your dog the care and affection they need, but am able to make accommodations for any allergies or senior-aged dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I am a full time college student, but am available in the afternoon and evenings to watch your pets for longer periods of time. While I may be out some during the day, I always prioritize your pets and their needs when it comes to in-home visits. At my own home, I use treats for my fur baby when taking her outside or kenneling for the night. I always hangout with my dog in the yard to make sure she is safe, and will do the same with your pets.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of pets professionally for 5 years! I have worked at two different doggy daycare and boarding facilities, (that also have cats) and I am a co-manager at one currently! I love my job and am looking to expand my career. I can administer medications and follow a strict feeding schedule. I work with pups and cats of all age. I work full time and do school full time, but I do them on different days of the week! Over night sitting is something I am usually always available for (very rarely I’m not available) and I love getting to study/be outside! I care for pets as if they are a human. Pets deserve nothing but respect, and same goes for the owners privacy. I believe in keeping a safe, clean and healthy environment for pets, and no job is too big or too small. Owners are always welcome to ask me questions, ask for more background info, etc. I also always walk with pepper spray to keep myself, and the fur babies safe.

“Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰”


“Emma was absolutely amazing!! This was the first time ever I’ve had so much peace of mind leaving our fur babies behind. Everyday I received pictures and updates on how they were doing! They were very spoiled with snuggles n love while we were gone by her! She cared for them like they were her own! For that we are very grateful and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend her to anyone!!”


About: I volunteer with Patriot Paws of Aggieland where I help to raise and train service dogs for veterans at no cost to those veterans! I have also worked at Sit Means Sit Dog Training. I am very well experienced with dogs! I work weekdays but have nothing on weekends!! I'm excited to meet your babies! On weekends I can be very flexible, I do have my own fur babies to take care of but am capable of doing both! I make sure to not let the animals out of my sight for more than 2 minutes! I love to play with them or just lay around depending on what the animal prefers!

About: Hello! My name is Victoria, but you can call me Tori! I grew up with pets of all shapes and sizes. Currently, my family has 6 dogs (including 4 pugs!) amongst a variety of other animals such as parrots, a cat, a turtle, and a rabbit. Sometimes the dogs will stop by and visit, but all of these pets live with my parents. We love our furry (and non-furry) friends over here! In addition, I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years as a kennel technician. In my position, I was responsible for caring for pets being boarded as well as hospitalized pets. I have the experience and passion for your furry friend(s)! Currently, I’m available Monday-Friday at any time for any walk schedule! I work part-time and will be attending school in the fall so my schedule will be completely open for a few more weeks! Please message me with any scheduling requests and/or questions, I’d be happy to work with you! I provide upmost care to take your furry friends on walks around the neighborhood to get some much needed engagement and stimulation! As a Drury college student, I’m happy to use this service opportunity to incorporate exercise and pups into my schedule!

About: I have been dog sitting for more than 11 years and worked in the Veterinary field for more than 5 years. I have two beautiful baby girls and 2 dogs of my own (Kalypso and Corazón) that will be spending days of excitement with your best friend. When staying with me your furry friend will have lost of space to rest, play, run and enjoy their day. I also have grooming experience learned from my Veterinary technician school. I can do nail trims, baths, and ear cleanings. I can also administer medications if your pet is taking anything while staying with me. Your pet will be in great care while staying with me! Currently not working and staying at home with all of my babies, two beautiful girls and our family dogs. So I will be able to pay lots of attention to your fur babies. I do walks with a body harness for more safety while walking. I feed all dogs separate but at the same time to keep an eye on them and make sure no food aggression is present.

About: I have grown up being my families pet care provider! I am punctual, reliable, and most importantly, a pet lover of all, no matter how big or small. I treat everyone else’s pets as I would my own. I provide plenty of love, snuggles, compassion, and treats for your fur babies! I currently have a 5 month old GSD puppy and a 2 year old boston terrier, and they have helped gain a ton of knowledge that I believe will help greatly toward the care of your pets! I also have past work experience at a pet motel. I worked there for about 6 months while I was in school to complete my animal science degree, and I really enjoyed it. My tasks included feeding, administering medication, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and playing with them. This experience helped me tremendously. By bonding with several different dog breeds I have never been able to experience with, it showed me every single breed is special in their own way! I am currently working a part-time job as a residential and commercial cleaner. I am still trying to fill my schedule, so I will have a lot of days I don’t clean and will be able to come and take care of your pets when you need it! I care for pets in your own home because I feel it is more beneficial for your pet to not have to travel and be in a new environment they are not used to. That can cause a lot of stress and would not make a great experience for them. I want your pet to be comfortable and happy in their own home! In your home, I will take them for walks, clean up any messes made, give plenty of love and cuddles, and leave assuring your pets are happy and healthy!

About: I've grown up in a dog friendly home, so I know what it's like to not only to love but also to care for a dog. Whether it's walking, playing, washing- all of it is great! Monday through Fridays are the days that I board dogs! I ask that you schedule 1 week before the day you want to board and cancel 24 hours in advance if you wish to do so. I also do drop in's on Saturdays. I have a fenced yard where your pet can run to their heart's content. I don't have any other dogs in my home at the moment, so all my attention can go to your fur baby!

Victoria C.
“Tori has taken pride in caring for our small dogs, whom I give supplements to, and she never complains about that! She will take them for pup cups (if approved). She has taken our dogs and cat to the vet for me. She used to volunteer for WOW, and she is great with cats too. She has trimmed my dog's nails with help. She takes them to the dog park with approval. She has even made them birthday cakes! I would also like to point out that she will always make sure that she has water with her, poo bags and anything they may need. She used to be a vet technician and is always aware and mindful of any medical concerns, yes, she watches my dogs poo because they eat everything, including rocks. One of my dogs doesn't breathe well when it's hot or he overexerts himself, and she watches and knows when it is time to get him back into the air conditioning. She has trained them to sit, fetch, and learn simple commands. She is not afraid to clean up poo or vomit...lol We highly recommend Tori if you are looking for a pet walker or sitter!!”


Tracy B.

Nicole S.
“Nicole is my go-to girl for all of my pet sitting needs. I have 2 dogs that are large breeds and hyperactive. Nicole ensured that they were fed on time, played with, walked, and loved on while I was away. She is very attentive and let me know if she had any concerns or questions while I was away. I will always use Nicole to watch my pups! I could not recommend her enough!”
