I treat them like they are my actual children 😂 Your dog will be in good hands with me! I have my own dog who is a 18 lb Cockapoo who loves other dogs and is super friendly and chill.

About: I’m a professional grooming salon manager with a lifelong passion for both dogs and cats. While my primary expertise is in canine grooming, I also have extensive experience caring for felines and understand their unique personalities and needs. I believe every pet deserves gentle, knowledgeable care, and I bring that philosophy to every client I work with. At home, I care for four amazing dogs: two Chihuahuas, a German Shepherd, and a Miniature Schnauzer. I also have an 8-year-old cat named Cassie, who has been with me since she was a kitten. Each of them has their own distinct temperament, and they’ve taught me how to approach every pet with patience, compassion, and respect. My hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and personalities allows me to provide calm, personalized care tailored to both dogs and cats. I currently work full-time as the manager of a grooming salon, where I’m dedicated to providing high-quality care and service to both pets and their owners. I’m now looking to take on additional work during my free time to earn extra income doing what I love most — caring for animals. With a deep passion for my own pets and a genuine love for animals of all kinds, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of animals and will always go above and beyond to ensure they receive the care and compassion they deserve. With extensive knowledge of pet care and grooming needs, I bring both experience and dedication to every animal I work with. Whether it’s providing grooming services or general care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I’ve grown up with Doberman Pinchers, Maltese, Jack Russell’s, cats, fish, goats, turkeys, lamb, chickens.. the list goes on! I’ve had to care for elder dogs. I also had an epileptic dog which I had to administer meds for daily. I have a 14 (almost 15) year old Yorkie, a 2 year old Shihtzu, and. 2 year old bernadoodle. I have plenty of experience with animals and would love to care for your little fur baby as well! I have a full time job.

As an online college student, I have a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to offer open availability and easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs. I maintain their usual routines, ensure a clean and safe environment, and give plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise. I’m also mindful of any special instructions like feeding schedules, medications, or training practices.
About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.
About: People call me the dog whisperer. I’ve always felt most comfortable around dogs ever since I was a little kid. I’ve taken care of every type of dog - breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages - from 8 week old pups to seniors over 16 years old. My friends say I’m like a puppy trapped in a man’s body - if there’s a dog around, you’ll find me on the floor playing and giving them attention 100% of the time. Dogs deserve to be treated with the same love and respect they give us humans, so I take pride in offering the best possible care to your furry four-legged family member. I have over 18 years of experience walking, sitting, bathing, giving medicine, and potty training dogs. And I look forward to becoming your pup’s new best friend! I’m available full time to watch and take care of your pets around the clock. I recently moved here from Los Angeles where I worked full time and dog sat on the side. Now dog sitting is my full time job as caring for animals is my true passion! I’m fully available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I have a home with a fenced back yard, a pool if your pup enjoys swimming, and a neighborhood of safe sidewalks for walking. I enjoy boarding your dog at my home or I’m happy to take care of them at your residence. Whichever makes your pup feel most comfortable makes me happiest. I can crate your dog if needed or let them roam free in the house. Dog sitting is my full time job so I offer as many potty breaks/walks as your pup needs. Your baby’s safety is my top priority - unless otherwise stated, I try to keep your pup away from other dogs during walks/hikes to ensure their comfort and minimize anxiety. I will never put your dog in harm’s way if I don’t know how other dogs/owners will behave.
About: I've been responsible for an animal since I turned old enough to fill up a bowl of kibble. My mom is a veterinarian and taught me how to make sure critters of all kinds were well cared for. Im currently continuing my education part-time, mornings from 9am to 2pm. Before and after class I try to be as active as possible, and it would be a pleasure to fit your pet's care into that time! I can provide either efficient in/out cleaning and feeding, or spend more quality time with your pet to ensure they're exercised and happy while youre away. For walking service, I'll happily plan a route that fits your pet's stamina and breed, or you can suggest one that you regularly follow!

About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
About: I’ve had dogs since 7th grade, so I’ve been caring for pets for many years. I’ve dog-sat for my aunt and sister regularly, and I also have two dogs of my own. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medication if needed. Pets in my care get plenty of attention, exercise, and socialization in a safe and loving environment I have two dogs and plenty of experience caring for pets. I go to school every day, but I’m home most of the time, so I can give pets plenty of attention, walks, and love. I’m available Tuesday–Thursday after 11 AM, Friday after 10 AM, and all day Saturday, making it easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy whether I’m caring for them in my home or at theirs. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and lots of attention. We have a dog park nearby where I can take them for extra exercise and socialization. My two dogs are super playful and friendly, so pets in my care can enjoy fun, positive interactions. I can crate dogs if needed and am able to administer medication, as my own dog requires medication as well. I love animals and so they will always feel loved whenever I’m there.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
Karianna was phenomenal! She watched mine and my families pets all weekend and sent pictures everyday. She was so communicative and did everything we asked. I couldn’t recommend her MORE! We have a very sensitive 100 lb XL Bully and she LOVED Kari. Great trustworthy person to watch your fur babies.

Robin was absolutely wonderful with our Kylo! We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care while we were away. She did such a great job sticking to his normal schedule and making sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were gone. She spent time cuddling with him, gave him plenty of belly pats, and even wiped his paws after every walk — those little extra touches really showed how much she cared. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kylo was in such good hands. He was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. We would absolutely have Robin watch Kylo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own! 🐾❤️

Samantha was wonderful! She was very communicative and took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

We had such a wonderful experience! Dillon took care of our dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, communication was great and he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable when we got back. He followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Northlake choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
