About: Every creature, regardless of age or appearance, holds a special place in my heart. From the tiniest of newborns to the wisest of seniors, whether covered in fur or not, each one is cherished in my eyes. I find joy in nurturing young pups and providing comfort to elder companions. Every animal deserves nothing less than the utmost care and compassion My work-from-home Fridays and I have weekends off provide the perfect opportunity to offer dedicated care for your pets. Even with a full-time schedule, I ensure your furry companions receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve, creating a seamless balance between work and pet care I have a fenced yard and other friendly pets so you're furry friend will never be lonely. Although I have a fence, I do not leave my dogs unattended outside.
About: I have years of professional veterinary experience working with animals, I am dog/cat CPR certified, and I have my own personal experience raising and training animals. I work full time doing dog/cat sitting so any job I get I will definitely make the time for, and I will be willing to dedicate my time to any job. I ensure that the pets are happy and always well taken care of, whether they need water, food, attention, toys, etc. I make sure they have it and are well taken care of.
“Marcy always takes great care of my pups! She keeps me updated and sends lots of photos so I know they are in good hands. She spends extra time playing with my higher energy dog and she give them lots of love. I will definitely continue to ask marcy to care for my pups :)”
About: With over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and senior cats with specific needs, I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for each pet. I’ve dog-sat up to six dogs and two cats (in one household) at a time and have been trusted by neighbors to care for their pets for months at a time. I understand that each pet requires their own unique routine, and I’m always happy to accommodate. From special diets to loving attention, I ensure every angel feels safe and loved in my care. Pet care fits beautifully into my life. I have a very flexible schedule and work mostly from home while pursuing my yoga certification. This gives me plenty of time and presence to devote to your pets, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and consistent environment where your baby feels safe and cherished. I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to cuddles and playtime — and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, emotional well-being, and any special needs they may have. I treat each home with respect and care, just like I would my own, and make sure your pet feels nurtured and at peace the entire time you’re away.
“Amazing experience and service. She was very respectful and willing to help with anything. She used the whole hour of the drop in visit for the dogs to feed and play with them. She was organized and listened to feedback well. Karina also communicated well with me and was attentive with the dogs. I would recommended booking with her and I will book with her again myself!”
“Margen was great! She responded quickly, made herself available last minute, communicated well, sent pictures of my pup and did exactly what I requested. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again :-)”
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner since I was 4 years old, and I currently share my home with a high-energy German Shepherd. Having a large breed has given me hands-on experience with all dog sizes and personalities. I’m not just a sitter; I truly enjoy the training process and understand the importance of structure and mental stimulation for a happy pup. Whether your dog needs a long, disciplined walk or some extra help practicing their 'sit' and 'stay,' I’m happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own, ensuring they feel safe and tired out by the time you get home! I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. I can easily work around your specific timing requirements, whether that means midday walks, early morning check-ins, or being available for last-minute requests. My goal is to provide a consistent routine for your dog that fits perfectly into your lifestyle. Safety is my top priority. When walking your dog, I am always vigilant of our surroundings and keep them on a secure leash at all times. If we are in your home, I ensure all doors and gates are double-checked. I have a German Shepherd of my own, so I am very comfortable handling large, powerful breeds and ensuring they stay calm and safe in public spaces.

My services include: • Dog walking and exercise • Pet sitting and companionship • Drop-in visits • Feeding and fresh water • Medication administration (oral and topical) • Baths and light grooming • Puppy care and senior dog care • Plenty of love, belly rubs, and positive attention I understand that every pet is unique, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to maintain their routine and reduce stress while you’re away.

I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become someone you can count on whenever you need dependable, loving care! I am currently a college student with a part-time job that usually takes up only four hours out of my day. The rest of the time I am home, studying or out on walks and runs. I would love to have company when I do go for my strolls. We have a fenced in yard that as well separate small dogs and large dogs. As well, a play area for the pets to socialize if granted. Treats are given to pets for their cuteness, unless dietary restrictions.

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 Pharr 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
