“Kelley was great with my fur babies. We came home to a clean house and remade bed which we really appreciated. I love the pics she sent pics of my babies while we were gone. I will definitely use Kelley in the future.”

About: My pet sitting skills are pretty diverse as young as a 13 week old kitten to a puppy that was a couple weeks old- my parents got a Covid puppy, the sweetest dachshund with the loudest bark!!! I would watch him daily for about a year straight before I moved out! I’ve lived with cats for the last two years, as well as always being around them constantly. My best friend has two of her own. (My nieces) I’m currently working part time at a restaurant in my neighborhood that is only open Wednesday through Sunday. I’ve only been getting about 2 to 3 shifts a week and would obviously like to add some income. I thought what a better way to spend my free time working a part-time job that could also be fulfilling!!! I am very intentive and will follow instruction to a T. I know that leaving your baby with someone else can be stressful, but I am here to give you peace of mind, comfort, and genuine care.

About: I’ve grown up with a small dog for 12 years and taken care of family and friend’s dog. I can walk, bathe, feed, relax, and play with them! I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can make myself free after work to take care of your fur babies as well! I have a large fenced backyard and live in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. I am a type A person and will always have an eye on them especially if outside during the heat. I have no children and no pets so your pup will have my heart the entire time 💜

About: My mom has been a dog groomer for as long as I can remember, so I’ve grown up around animals and learned how to care for them from an early age. I offer dog sitting, walking, washing, and am happy to help with any other care your furry friend might need. Ask me about my loyalty program! I’m currently attending school at TSTC, so my education is my top priority. However.. with that being said, if you’re entrusting me with your pet(s), I will always go above and beyond to treat them like my own. Most weekends, I’m fully available. I am comfortable around animals and I respect their space. Every animal is different with their own needs and quirks, so my goal will be to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

“We hired Heather to housesit and watch our two dogs for two nights. She was a dream to work with! She left my home how we left it; frankly I couldn’t even tell anyone was there. She was very respectful of my house rules & my dog care preferences. Heather was punctual, respectful and has great communication. Our pups clearly enjoyed her presence and also, they loved staying home and not going to a traditional boarding situation which was huge for us. We have a large breed #110 dog and a #6 dog which she handled both with ease. We look forward to booking her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding at anytime Tuesday through Friday. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Special requests are subject for review.

“Taylor was so kind to come watch our dogs last minute! They were very thankful to have someone love them while we were out on the lake! She sent updates and photos, and comforted our little puppy during the fireworks! 10/10 recommend Taylor! Ultimate dog lover!”


About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I'm trying to find someone who needs help taking care of their pets! I love animals and would love to spend time with your furbabies.

Please message me and I will see if I can accommodate you. I am available to help with your animals on most days, as long as I do not have a prior engagement.

About: Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. I use to have my own pet sitting business in Texas for 6 years part time called Comfy Critters and was insured and bonded. I have had animals all my life, worked at a Veterinarian clinic in High school, and at humane society. I am overall dedicated to making sure that all animals are taking care of, stress free in there own homes while owners were away. All animals are treated like my own. It has always been my main concern as a pet sitter to make sure all pet owners and their animals are comfortable, and worry free while in my care at all times. I developed a lot of good relationships with all my clients. Rewarding to know animals and pet owners were/ are happy!!! I work from home, and have the flexibility to set time aside to care for your fur babies as I care for my own! When it comes to care they are #1 Priority. At this time, currently don't have availability to take in any dogs into my home. I will go to your home for your comfort and ease.

About: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

About: Not only have I had pets my entire life, I work with animals professionally! I currently work at the Humane Society of Central Texas, with 3 years in working in the animal shelter with dogs & cats of all personalities and sizes. I’ve got a great understanding of dog body language & have been blessed with an intuition for understanding & communicating with animals. I enjoy training dogs & puppies and watching their minds work! I am not a certified trainer, however. I frequently foster dogs, puppies, and kittens. I’ve fostered puppies positive for parvo (intense overnight medical attention, but so worth it to save their life), adult dogs, severely injured animals, bottle babies (pups and kittens), mom + litters, seniors, dogs of every size possible… the list is never ending. I simply love all animals (even the creepy crawlies) and have a lot of experience! I do work a 8-5 job currently, but am available for evening drop ins, weekends, and occasionally a mid day drop in. I’m pretty flexible and can offer overnights on the weekend. At your home, I will ensure your pet gets quality of care they deserve! One-on-one time, exercise, proper diet & nutrition, and can crate your dog(s). If you are a home with a crate & rotate system going on, I can manage that as well. I will care for your pets the way I’d want mine to be cared for!

About: I started pet sitting while working as a vet assistant throughout college. I now enjoy caring for furbabies of all sizes for fun. I feel I provide them safe stimulation while they bring me non-stop joy. I am happy to provide extra services (nail clipping, teeth brushing, bathing) when needed. I am also comfortable with nuances of feeding a raw diet to your furbabies as I have kept all of mine on this regimen for over 10 years now. I am happy to keep your dogs on strict leash walks, take to off leash parks or work on any training youre seeking while out of town or unable to be around in sudden moments. You can feel at ease knowing your fur family will be loved and well cared for!

The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We travel for work and are out of town 5 to 10 days. I can be away and not worry about our Beau knowing she is there taking care of and giving the best of care to him. There was a thorough interview before she took the job and everything is covered to insure the best quality care will be given to your pets and I assure you it is given. Your pets will be given the best of care. We love receiving pictures and updates from Cassidy while we were away. Beau always enjoys their walks, playtime outside and lots of cuddles.

Sarah F.
“I don’t know where to begin with Sarah. Sarah has the most loving heart for all animal. Since she was a child this girl has taken care of and nurtured so many animals. From the moment she sees an animal in need, you know that she will do anything in her power to take care of them. She has had sooo many animals over the years that she has cared for. She has fostered numerous cats and dogs and cared for many medical fosters. She is a true animal advocate and you would have no worries at all with her caring for your pets. She will love them like her own. She goes above and beyond for any animal in need, loves them and cries for them. She would be the perfect person for your fur baby!”


Sarah W.
“I have known Sara since she was a girl. She has always had a love of animals and a compassionate heart. In addition, I have seen her exhibit diligent care with her own animals and those of others. Several years back I left my dog in her charge for three weeks and it was a great experience. Sarah will get to know your pet and treat them like her own. I highly recommend Sarah for Rover.com. She would be perfect!”
