Kelci did such a wonderful job! She was incredibly attentive and noticed when the litter needed to be taken out outside of its normal schedule! She sent me so many photos and was sure to play with my kitties a ton! I highly recommend and will be using her again!!

Chelci was absolutely wonderful! I cannot recommend her enough. She dropped in twice a day during my 3 day trip, and she was incredibly reliable and responsible. Her communication was excellent, and she sent wonderful photo updates that kept my mind completely at ease. Even my cats picked up on her great vibes right away! Everything was purrfect when I got home. I will definitely be contacting her next time I am out of town!

Breana took great care of our two cats while we were gone. She knew how to work with the cats, giving them attention, and attending to their needs. We really appreciate all her help as we hate to leave our sweet boys, and felt comforted to have her care for them!

I cannot say enough good things about Sandy. She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away. She took meticulous notes about my cats and their habits during the initial meet and greet and while I was away she provided updates and photos. I HIGHLY recommend Sandy!

Jayleene was a huge relief for us going on vacation and leaving our cats. She updated us both visits when she got there. We have one cat that doesn’t really care to be social and our other one is the social butterfly. Her son came along and in the photos, he looked so happy and Mikasa was being so sweet with him. Thank you so much. Will definitely be using her services again!

About: I’m studying to be an engineer and my dad has a joke that i’m coming back as a veterinarian which says a lot. Unconditional love is what dogs have and the only thing you can do with it is to give some right back to them. I love going on walks and runs even without dogs, so it’s a perfect match. I’m also pretty good at tug of war, i might let your dog win a few times. I’m currently a student at A&M Kingsville with a lot of free time between classes and i’m very flexible as far as my schedule goes. I’m always eat at home and can unsure your dog gets a meal too. I do have a medium sized crate along with some treats of my own. In my apartment complex there is a fenced in doggy area as well as a bunch of yard throughout. As stated though, i love going on walks and letting them explore the campus, and other people love giving out pets and scratches.

Kenna is awesome! We have used several sitters/walkers booked through Rover and Kenna is by far one of the best. She's great with my dog, and my dog loves her. She followed all my instructions, shows up when scheduled, and always checks in with an update. I know my pup loves seeing her when she comes by. Will be using Kenna whenever we need someone!

About: I've grown up around pets my whole life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I've done pet sitting alongside my partner for a while now helping with feeding, walks, playtime and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment and I try to make that as stress-free as possible. I'm new to having my own profile, but not new to caring for animals. Give me a chance, your pets will have a wonderful time with me! As a shift supervisor, my schedule is consistent and allows me to plan ahead, which means I can dedicate time each week to caring for pets. I make pet sitting and walks a priority around my work hours, and I’m reliable about showing up when I commit. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or days off, I have the flexibility to make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need! When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime so that pets feel safe and cared for in their own space. I treat each home with respect, keep things tidy, and make sure you can come back to both a happy pet and a comfortable home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was maybe around 8 years old and have fell in love with them ever since then . I go to school for half of my day so I would do everything after that so maybe around 5 or even after that . I personally have a yorkie named Bella and I always make sure she has eaten and has been able to run around outside with love

About: With 20 years of pet ownership, I have a deep understanding of animals and their needs. I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, which has equipped me to provide a loving, nurturing environment. I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cherished while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize feeding, walks, play, and companionship to ensure pets feel safe and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday and am available evenings and weekends to provide consistent, attentive care. I currently own two dogs and recently cared for three until my 17-year-old senior beagle passed away in September. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for safe play, exercise, and enrichment, and I focus on maintaining routines, comfort, and individual attention so pets feel secure and at home.

Sarah provided excellent care for my senior baby who is not used to me being away. She provided much needed emotional support to both myself and Elsa.

Jade was very sweet during her meet and greet, and subsequent drop in, with my pup. She arrived on time and had great communication. Have only used once because our schedules generally don't match, but would absolutely book her again.
