About: My journey with animals started when I was a kid; I remember my very first dog. He was a lab mix, and his name was Dopey. He was indeed dopey, and I loved him more for it. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to always be around animals. My professional career began in 2019 as a bather at a common Petstore. I worked there for a few months before deciding I wanted a more personal environment to care for the animals and get quality time with them, so I left corporate to work for mom and pop grooming salons, daycares and boarding facilities. To gain more knowledge to help care for the animals, I attended Animal Behavior College in Vet Assistance and obtained my Animal CPR certification. With that in hand, I decided to work in a vet office to help further educatemyself for the animals. While working at a Vet Office, I became a Lead Bather and quickly gravitated toward special needs, aggressive and elderly pups. I currently work at a mom and pop grooming Salon in Allen, Tx. I'm working part-time at a grooming salon, so I have plenty of availability to work with. I have early morning availability for walks and home visits and availability after 3:30pm. I have 2 furniture kennels and a pop up kennel. I have multiple running water fountains through my home. I have two dogs of my own, who are walked 4 to 5 times a day. We tend to do short walks in grass during the heated afternoons.
About: I’ve worked at Boarding and Daycare facilities for dogs so I know how to manage various sizes and age. Im not a certified Dog Trainer but I've trained a couple of dogs and have received glowing reviews.I’ve also owned a few dogs and 1 blind cat myself! I have a full time job that I work Monday-Thursday 7am-4:30pm. I do require at least 2 days notice for all services with the exception of dog walking. I may be available Thursday afternoons if asked ahead of time. I can’t have any animals where I currently live so, I will be based out of clients home. I follow all rules and boundaries you have regarding your home and personal spaces. I’m there for your dog and that’s it!
“Mia did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and cat for our longest trip to date (10 days/9 nights). She will definitely be our go-to house & pet sitter going forward. Her experience with all size animals, including large dog breeds, gave us peace of mind on our vacation. You can rest assured Mia will follow all instructions to a tee and provide updates and pictures throughout.”
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”
About: I've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.

About: I have been caring for my own dogs and close family and friends pets for about 10 years now. I have always had a dog, since I can remember and I have always loved animals. I take my dog outside to use the restroom once every hour, more if he shows signs of needing to use the restroom. I do exercise daily, so if your pet needs that I can provkde it. I know what each breed of dogs needs as far as care, so if you have medicine that needs to be administered during care I can do that too. I’m very outgoing and flexible with my schedule. I provide a lot of after hours and weekend care. That’s when I am most available to spend the most quality time I work from home so I have a lot of free time during the day to play, go for walks and even some grooming if needed. I have a fenced apartment complex that has areas for dogs to use the restroom and play, there are many doggy bag stands around and a big open field right across the street.
“Cristina was an awesome dog sitter to our Stevie girl and Stevie was lucky enough to make a new friend in her dog deastiel!

About: With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring a level of expertise to pet care that's hard to find. My entire life has been devoted to the well-being of animals—from dogs and cats to horses, goats, chickens, and reptiles. This isn't just a side gig for me; it's a continuation of my professional career. When it comes to dogs, I understand their unique needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need gentle care. I can handle any personality with confidence, providing the right amount of physical and mental stimulation. For cats, my care is truly specialized. As a Cat Friendly Certified professional, I'm uniquely skilled in creating a stress-free environment for your feline companion, respecting their space and understanding their unique communication. My skills in administering medications, managing special diets, and recognizing potential health issues mean you can have total peace of mind. You're not just hiring a pet sitter; you're getting a dedicated professional who understands how to keep your beloved family member safe, happy, and healthy. I work as a vet tech on a set, three-day schedule. This predictability is a huge benefit, as it allows me to block out my other four days specifically for my pet-sitting clients. My routine is carefully planned around your pet's needs. I offer both in-home care and boarding to best fit your pet's needs. In Your Home: My goal is to maintain your pet's routine and comfort in their familiar environment. I work closely with you to understand your pet's specific needs, from feeding schedules to walk routes. I am highly vigilant about home security and your pet's safety, ensuring doors are locked and all protocols are followed precisely. In My Home: My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming space with a fully fenced yard. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family. I am dedicated to providing a secure and fun environment with plenty of supervised playtime and attention.
About: I have been in the veterinary field since 2021. You can say I’m very well trained! Haha. I actually train on the side with a pal of mine we worked for petco and he was the dog trainer and taught me everything I know! (Akc certified training) Do not be afraid to ask me questions! On my free time I love to walk pets including my own! Life can get very busy and I understand not everyone can have a spare moment to walk their fur babies for as long as they want. I am not offering at home services as I feel that your fur babies will do best in their own known environment, I will ensure they are as comfortable as can be starting with their surroundings! Big or small your babies will be in great hands.

“Manolita is a loving dog caregiver. She has two Chihuahua‘s of her own and they are her princesses. She takes care of them like she would her own children. She has watched my Parti Morkie several times and most of those times have been extended stays because I travel a lot. But Hercules feels right at home when she is with Ms. Henson. I would recommend her to any loveing pet owner.”

Kaila C.
“Kaila have been my dog sitter for years. My dogs love her. They look forward to her coming every time. It’s so wonderful to know I’m leaving my babies in such loving, capable hands. I have two large dogs - a lab and a pit, and she handles them both perfectly. I trust her to walk them, feed them, administer meds, and give them endless cuddles. She takes care of the space and keeps it clean, and goes above and beyond always. She’s reliable. If she says she is going to be there she shows up. She is always my first choice for a dog sitter because I know they will be well cared for and well loved while I’m gone. Our fur babies don’t always get to enjoy the vacations we go on, but the deserve the best life too and I know when Kaila comes to take care of them it’s a mini vacay for them too.”
Valerie H.
“I was so impressed by Valerie’s professionalism and attention to detail. Before my trip, she asked all the right questions about my pet's routine, diet, and needs, which made me feel so confident. She provided regular updates and even sent photos, showing me how well my pet was doing. This level of care and communication is invaluable. Thank you for everything!”

Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
When Alexis came to meet Kissie she was so friendly and Kissie loved her immediately! When we left for our trip I was so worried because she was just 7 months old, but Alexis texted me everyday with pictures and information. She and Alexis's dog Luka got a long so well and became best friends. She was so good to her! We will be asking her to watch Kissie from now on!
Clint was the best. He kept us updated daily about our very neurotic and needy hound and from everything we can tell kept him happy and calm while we were away for two weeks! Clint was always very responsive and we were always comfortable that everything was handled well and with care. Thank you very much Clint!
