About: I provide attentive, dependable dog care focused on safety, structure, and enrichment. I have experience working with dogs of various sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I tailor my care to match each dog’s routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I make sure every dog feels secure, engaged, and well cared for. I work from home Monday–Friday (7:00 AM–4:00 PM), which allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care throughout the day, every day. I provide safe, attentive pet care in my one-bedroom apartment with two cats and one dog, ensuring a calm, supervised environment where pets are kept comfortable, on routine, and given individual attention. I focus on feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and an stress-free stay. When caring in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any special needs. I also ensure the home is respected, secure, and left clean. In both settings, my priority is safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents.
“Rebooked Jennifer and Jonathan last minute after my friend who was going to watch my fur baby had an unexpected change in plans. They were phenomenal as usual and I knew my little girl was in great hands. I appreciate them being flexible and accommodating with the late notice and look forward to rebooking again in the future!”
“Love Ms Jozette! She is amazing with Rocky! She’s calm and observant. She’s our first ever sitter we are trying out and I would def use her as a regular! Thank you for teaching Rocky “hand” as well. I know Rocky will look forward to your visits :)”
“Catherine was so patient and sweet with my pup, I felt very comfortable letting her into my home while I was away to give some doggie love and let her out to potty.”
“A delight to have Rezvan watch my cat, as always! She was very accommodating with incorporating some medication administration into the usual care routine. She sends the best updates with beautiful pictures as well! You will not have to worry about your baby when she's taking care.”
“Our cat needs a little extra care and Matthew took great care of her. He spent time with her during each visit and took care of all her needs. We will definitely ask him to care for her again.”
“Erica was great! She took very good care of my dog, Abby. Abby was ill during the visit and Erica did a wonderful job administering pills and making sure my girl was OK. Erica is an extremely good communicator, very dependable, and left detailed rover cards. I highly recommend.”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 22 years, including raising and training puppies. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and a wide range of breeds. As someone who works from home, I have ample time for your pups! I’m available during the week for dog daycare (my toddler goes to school) & the whole family is around on night & weekends for boarding. I have a large fenced yard & a friendly standard Bernedoodle to play with your pup! We have an extra bedroom for your dog’s crate & plenty of spots to lounge in the sun.
“Maria was wonderful! She visited my home the night before our trip to meet my pets and learn a few things, which made me much more at ease about leaving for a week. She cared for my dog and cat, checked on my outdoor cats, and handled small tasks I hadn't considered, such as adjusting the house temperature when the outside temperature dropped significantly and then rose again. Thanks to her, I could relax and enjoy my trip, confident that my home was in good hands. I will definitely request to book Maria again when the need arises!”
“Miki watched our dogs for a second time and again did a wonderful job. We have a blind diabetic senior and feel completely confident that he is getting excellent care with Miki. I love that I found Rover so that our furrbabies can stay home and their routine is maintained while we are away. We highly recommend Miki!”
“Jacquelyn went above and beyond in caring for my dog. She was very willing to be flexible and provide extra care as needed. Communicated well and felt like Kai was in very good hands the whole time, would strongly recommend and book again.”
“Angelica is absolutely wonderful! She really goes the extra mile taking care of my cats. She is caring and loving with my cats. I have used her for two years and wouldn't use anyone else!❤️❤️”
“Samantha was great with my three-month-old puppy, showing a lot of patience and care. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure he felt comfortable. My puppy took to her right away, and I could tell he enjoyed his time with her. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“I have a chihuahua tea cup dog that is very old and needs very special care, Anna was really attentive with her and gave her the attention she needed for a couple of weeks. She did a great job also informing me about how she was doing while we were gone. Definitely we will book again and recommend her to take care of your pets 🤗”
“Patar was so kind and good to Millie. Walked her, brought her treats, and played with her! She was very communicative and always made sure I knew how Millie was doing! We appreciated her very much!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since a young age and have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting throughout highschool and early college. I have experience with caring for older pets as mine back at home are getting older! I moved to Dallas a few months ago and am currently still searching for a full time position while I balance part time gigs! This allows me to have a lot of free time I’d love to spend hanging out with your pets! Most of my experience comes from drop in visits or house sitting, including feeding, walking, playing with pets and ensuring they are comfortable and situated after my visit is over.
“One of the best sitters I’ve had on this app! She’s very attentive and cares so much about my pup. Sends amazing pictures and accommodates to my pups needs.”

Brooke was great! We met with her a few weeks before we went out of town so she could meet us and our pets, and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She took great care of not only our dog, but also our tortoise and fish, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!
Alexandra was great! This was her first time sitting for us, and she quickly came over for a meet-and-greet and was wonderful with the dogs. She was friendly and kind, and she asked good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for our pups. She gave good, detailed updates every time she visited, like little mini short stories about our pups and her time with them. I felt like our dogs were in very good hands and very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Alex the next time we need a pet sitter.
I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Brendan was amazing. He was timely with his check-ins, administered my cats insulin without issue and even went above and beyond one day when my power was out and he couldnt get in. I will 100% be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs I have. Thanks again!!
Gracen took amazing care of our dog while we were away and truly went above and beyond. Communication was great, and our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home! We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Gracen again!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.
