“We were out of town when our dog sitter called and she had to go to the hospital. Jamie and Patrick stepped up big time and saved our vacation. I was so worried about my dogs and I was so far away from them, but she assured me not to worry she had it covered. She took exceptional care of my dogs and baked me a pie! They are absolute life savers!!”

“Lucy was amazing! I knew my pup would have a rough time with separation anxiety but she was patient and loving with him and filled me in along the way. She took great care of the house and my fur baby so I could just enjoy the time away. Will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Lucy!”

“Abigail was the best dog/house sitter that I could have asked for. My dogs and cats loved her. My house was tidy when I got home. Will definitely use her again and again. Highly recommend her!”

“Tracy is just what we were looking for! We have struggled to find someone to care for our fur babies. Spike wants lots of attention and Jake can be a challenge as he is very shy and hesitant with new people and can be reactive and sometimes unpredictable. We chose Tracy because of her extensive experience with reactive dogs. Tracy came to our house for a couple of visits with Spike and Jake while we were home and we graduated to Tracy coming by without us being there to give Jake some time to get to know her one on one. We were then gone on vacation for 10 days. Tracy sent regular update, detailing each days activities and Jakes progress. She was fantastic with Jake, she was so patient with him. It took about 2 to 3 days for Jake to completely warm up. Thanks to Tracy's knowledge with his temperament, she took the time to let him adjust on he own timeline. Giving him his space when asked for and then giving the attention and love when he was ready. By the end of day three it appeared the routine was back to normal and Jake was happy and comfortable. Spike was unexpectedly a little challenging too, he was demanding of her attention and put her to the test daily with demand barking. Tracy was a trooper and didn't let Spike take advantage of her, instead she endured the barking and used her knowledge as a Trainer to redirect his focus. Soon they found their routine as well. Knowing Tracy's love for dogs and especially her commitment to helping dogs like Jake made her a great fit for our family. This was the first vacation we had taken where we didn't worry, we knew the boys were in good hands. The ability to go on vacation and not feel that pit in my stomach if they would be safe and well cared for was priceless! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to find a true professional, caring sitter who you can trust so you can leave your babies without guilt or worry!”

“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”

“Most importantly, our 2 dogs loved Christine! She was timely, followed our instructions impeccably, and communicated with us perfectly. We came home to happy dogs, a happy bird and everything in order at the house! We highly recommend Christine! We will be booking her again.”

“My dogs felt immediately comfortable and happy with Monique. She was accommodating with their feeding, sleep, and exercise schedule, and was a great communicator while I was gone. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Savanah did a great job! Scarlett is an anxious girl but Savanah was very patient and didn’t push Scarlett too much! She kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures, she even vacuumed the house. I would definitely have Savanah watch our Scarlett again!”

About: I have five cats and a lizard at the moment. We have also had many dogs boarding with us in our home for the last three years. I will be starting college in the fall and need some part time flexible work to meet college expenses. With college classes I will have the flexibility to take great care of people's furry friends. I will exclusively visit pets in their own homes. I have a flexible schedule due to college classes. I am also available for house sitting.
“Amber took excellent care of my elderly cat and feels comfortable dealing with pets with health problems. A day after a vet visit for a possible urine infection and kidney problems and a day before our scheduled vacation my cat stopped eating and drinking. I called Amber to discuss the situation and felt reassured that she could handle my cat's situation. Lucky my cat started eating again and did well.”
“Lucas was great! He reached out every day we were gone and even helped water our plants. The house was in order when we returned and most importantly our dog seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Lucas again in the future.”

“Martina stayed in our home with our dog for a few days and took incredible care of him. Our dog had recently had TPLO knee surgery and was also recovering from an infection that was in his suture area. She gave him his daily medications, applied warm compresses on his leg each day, kept him leashed for daily backyard walks as directed by our vet so that he wouldn’t run or jump on his new knee, sent us updates and photos, and stayed near him while he had to continue wearing an e-collar. She gave him supervised time so he didn’t have to wear the “cone of shame” 24/7. We had incredible peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. The house was as clean or cleaner than we had left it.”

“Beth is the best! She takes care of my dog like he’s her own. She takes him for walks and left my house spotless and even left us popcorn. Thank you Beth, it gave us piece of mind knowing that Buddy was in good hands while we were gone.”

“My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.”

“Angelina was great with our pups while we were out of town. She made us feel at ease while we were away. She is by far the best pup sitter we have had so far. I highly recommend her for house sitting your precious pups.”

Richland Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jamie and Patrick love animals. They were flexible with the care needed for our dog, Snoopy. They even stayed overnight so our pup could sleep in his own bed. We are grateful for their attention to his needs. And the bonus was a clean kitchen when we got home! Thank you Jamie and Patrick.

Savanah is an absolute rock star! Prior to staying for a week, she came by and met the pack and got familiar with everyone! They immediately loved her! While I was gone, the communication was perfect with updates and check ins! The fur fam clearly loved her! When I got home, the house was cleaner than when I left it! I could not recommend her more and will absolutely be working with her again!

Isabella is always caring and loving with our dogs. She did great with an added member to our pack. She also is communicative when things come up. She let me know when family memebers stopped by to visit the dogs. She is great with sitting and drop-in bookings. We recommend her as a pet sitter.

Peggy house sat for me watching my dog and two cats for about a week. The animals all looked like they had a great time and Peggy provided updates and photos daily. Communication before and during my trip was fantastic, and I’ll be looking forward to utilizing her services again in the future.

I had an excellent experience with Connor as my dog sitter! He came to my RV on short notice after my original sitter canceled last minute. Not only did he feed and give water to my dog just as I asked, but he also went above and beyond by spending extra time playing fetch with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Reliable, kind, and clearly great with animals—highly recommend!

Amber is wonderful and will definitely hire again. Gave tlc to both fur babies and pics of them while we were gone were a added bonus. I felt at ease that she would take care of them and she did. Highly recommend she is trusted with my furbabies and i am a protective mom. Amber was recommended by another customer that uses Rover and so glad she recommended her to me.
