“Jaclyn was punctual, attentive, and so kind to our animals (2 cats, 1 dog. And a turtle). Her updates kept me feeling good about our choice, as this was the first time our dog stayed home over a vacation (we used to just kennel, and he can be alot). She loved on our kitties and played with our pup to help his energetic self happy, she even hand fed him when he protested by not eating. Will definitely use again!”
“My little girl is anxious but Savannah did amazing! She was so patient and even came to meet Stella (my dog) beforehand so everyone was safe and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier! Savannah went above and beyond. Thank you so much for taking care of Stella!”

About: I love taking care of dogs and going on walks. It doesn't matter how old your dog is, they're still a puppy and I already love them with my whole heart. I have a 3 year old border collie & a 5 year old Australian cattle dog/Chihuahua mix that keep our home both happy and hairy. I have years of experience with drop in visits, and can make sure your pup is taken care of while you do what you need to do. I've got a lot of love to give your sweet pups! Majority of my drop in flexibility for the time being is going to be before and after work hours. I am a teacher so the initial would be in the morning and then in the evening for dinner/potty I treat every animal like I’ve raised it since it was a baby. I know how anxiety inducing it can be to leave them but also leave them with someone that’s not you or not family, so I exude the love, kindness, and respect that I would hope someone would to my 2 boys.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have been around dogs and cats and have taken care of friends and family's pets. I volunteered at the animal shelter in Mckinney for 2 years. I currently am fostering a friend's two cats while they get back on their feet. I have a corgi that I have had since a puppy and two cats. I currently work Monday-Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, but I work from home which gives me flexibility to watch your pet. I can do overnights if needed. If a pet comes to my home I have a fenced backyard with a corgi that loves other dogs and cats. I have plenty of dog and cat toys. My cats, also, don't mind other pets.
About: Am I knew to Rover? Yes. Am I knew to loving animals? Absolutely not, I've been an animal lover my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, birds, ferrets, and hamsters. Currently have two boxer mix dogs of my own, and a toddler which counts as an animal in my book! I'm not able to board animals in my home at this time, but am open to all other kinds of pet care. Experience: Corn Snake Bearded Dragons Ferrets Cats Dogs Medication management Diapers I'm currently going to school and using Rover as my income, so I am available all hours of the day, including short notice. I love being outside and I'm able to bring my schooling with me wherever I go, so if you're looking for maximum flexibility then you've found it! In my client's home, I try to match the same energy and routine that your pet is already accustomed to. Having someone else enter their space is already shock enough, so having someone who is as close to normal as possible is important to me.
“Alexcee gives such great care to our pups when we’re away! She updates us consistently, and is very coordinated with any instructions or guidelines we give her. Even on short notice, she is always eager to watch over and love on our pups!”

Remote worker who’s partner also works remotely, have a very flexible schedule to take care of pets at any time with notice to block off my schedule to drop in, or if sitting can love them and play with them constantly throughout the day I personally have had dogs that free roam or have been crate trained, able to deal with any situations for your precious pups whether it's in your own home or mine while you are away
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including energetic and high-maintenance dogs. I have experience raising my own dog from a puppy and understand the patience, consistency, and attention pets need. I’ve also babysat a puppy, walked two large dogs at the same time, and helped care for dogs for friends and family. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and safe, and I’m confident handling both calm and energetic pets. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and I work part-time, so I can often accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise routines. I have experience handling energetic and strong dogs, and I stay patient and calm in new situations. I make sure pets have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have 6 years of veterinary experience and currently work at an animal urgent care clinic. Cat and dog lover with pet care being my favorite hobby. I currently care for two Persian cats of my own, who are strictly indoors. Outside of my work-from-home job, I work part-time on the weekend at an animal urgent care to expand my love of caring for pets. With my background in health care, my technician skills have helped me be able to approach and respect the pet. Especially with pets whose homes I am entering for the first time. They need to trust and want to get familiar with me before I come into their home, and they notice their favorite humans aren't home with them either.
“Sara was available very last minute for me on the weekend to care for my cat that just moved in. This was my first Rover experience, and Sara really made the whole process very easy. I wasn't worried at all about my cat!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I was constantly surrounded by animals and learned early on how to care for them with patience and compassion. Since I was five, I’ve had dogs and cats, rescued and bottle-fed baby kittens, trained countless puppies, and even had a hedgehog at one point! I currently have two dogs and a puppy of my own, and I also help my dad care for his dog when he’s out of town—walking her, bathing her, and treating her like she’s part of my own pack. Every animal I care for gets the same level of love and attention as if they were my own. Whether it's senior dogs needing a slower pace or high-energy pups who love to play, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have the flexibility to work from home or anywhere when needed. I’m off nights and weekends, and I’m also able to step away during the day for morning walks, midday check-ins, or drop-in visits. Whether it's a quick potty break, playtime, or some extra cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I create a calm, loving environment and make sure to follow your routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, daily walks, or bedtime habits. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I'm attentive to details, keep things clean, and always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. If I’m hosting in my home, your pet will have a peaceful space to relax, play, and feel right at home—away from chaos and stress. Building trust with both pets and their people is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, or answer questions so you feel at ease while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Princeton
Kelly is a dog whisperer! My Frenchton is a rescue and super anxious. She handled her and won over her trust and sent a picture while also caring for my American bully/possible pit mix. She’s a 1 year old big hyper sweet girl. She was very communicative and it was worth every penny!
Emily has been so great with our babies! We have a sweet senior and a very playful puppy. She has been a great help for us. Both me and my husband work full time jobs and have a pretty busy schedule. Emily has definitely relieved a lot of our worries by being able to give our babies potty and playtime breaks at very random times and days. We will most definitely continue to reach out to her. Thanks Emily!
Sydney has been a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Chester, while we were away for a week. She followed all of our instructions carefully, took great care of him, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We also returned to find our home in excellent condition. We truly appreciate her reliability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Carly took great care of our new puppy Remy. He is definitely high energy and deep in him shark phase. But that did not phase her. Our old lady Gemma is a sweetheart and Carly also gave her some love and attention. Will most definitely be contacting Carly again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!
Kimberly was great with our cats! She was always on time, sent us photos, and kept us updated with any changes. She was very attentive with giving medication to our one cat and adjusted her approach until she accepted the medicine. Would 1000% recommend Kimberly!!!
If you need someone that’s truly gonna treat your puppies like his own then you need to look no further! He made sure to follow all of our instructions to a T and even when we had some last-minute changes was quick to adapt! 100/10 book now you won’t regret it!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
