“My cat and kittens were well taken care off and Sarah communicated and solved any issues that occurred. I felt like I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Also, she takes amazing pictures of the fur babies. Thank you Sarah!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for the last 20 years. My son and I are huge animal lovers that are looking to walk dogs and check in on pets. My schedule is fairly open. My son is homeschooled and I work from home, so we are open to working with people to create a schedule that works. My son and I moved to the area so that he can play hockey. Unfortunately, we rent so we are unable to have animals at our home since our English bulldog passed recently.
“It was my first time getting a pet sitter and she made us feel so comfortable. Claire was very kind very thoughtful. We appreciate her taking care of our animals so that we’re able to go and relax on vacation.”

“Robin was amazing!!! She came over to meet Marshall before, so they could be familiar with each other. He loved her immediately! Thank you for taking such great care of our boy while we were gone!”

About: My lifelong bond with animals began in childhood, growing up surrounded by pets who felt more like siblings than animals. This immersive upbringing allowed me to develop a deep empathy for them and a unique ability to read their subtle cues. To me, pets aren't just animals we keep—they are individuals capable of profound companionship. Animals easily recognize me as a friend, sensing that I am someone who genuinely respects their space, understands their needs, and loves them just for who they are. My sister would drive 10 miles everyday to drop her puppy off with me, despite closer friends and family who wanted to care for him. She knew he would be the center of my attention and she would never have to worry. I own a small chocolate business and chauffeur kids to and from school and activities makes it difficult to have a basic 9 to 5 and I miss being around dogs We no longer allowed pets in our home so any sitting I do will be at the pet owners. The type of pet care depends on the pets demeanor. If they are used to close attention or hate being alone. Then we chilling together, if they are more like a cat but still need supervision I won't cramp their space. They just know someone's around when needed or to keep it off trouble When my sister had her puppy that everyone wanted to sit.. she drove out of her way to bring to me, I was the only one she knew he was in great hands

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m currently a dog mom to several breeds, including a Chihuahua, German Shepherd, Labrador, Boxer/Pit mix, and Border Collie/Shepherd mix. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and understand that they may need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. I’m dependable, observant, and committed to following each pet’s feeding, walking, bathroom, and daily care routine so they feel comfortable and safe while their family is away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening pet care. I’m generally available throughout the week, although I teach dance on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. I’m happy to coordinate drop-in visits or walks around your pet’s established routine and will communicate my availability clearly before confirming each booking. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure and never leave a pet unattended outside. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals. I have always held a strong belief of the importance of treating pets with care and respect. As a retired accountant, I bring a level of professionalism and reliability to any task I undertake.Having owned animals throughout my life and coming from a family of fosters my experience in animal care is extensive. I have personally trained my own dogs as well as those of my friends. My home is meticulously designed to be pet friendly ensuring a comfortable and safe environment. I have also cared for pets who are in need of close medical needs and have studied animal CPR.I I will be available most all days and times. Of course, I have the usual errands, appointments, and outside interests, but am never away for more than a couple of hours. I have a fenced yard with a lot of running room in the backyard. I have a doggie door so pets can relieve themselves on their own schedule. If your dog is not door trained, I can train them or take them out. I have a 13 year old Labrador retriever who is quite amenable to other pets (he mainly ignores them). There is plenty water available, but feedings are only on a schedule and in a private area. Lots of toys available. No bones, rawhide, or other questionably safe items.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual personality, needs, and comfort level. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds—including dogs with fear, anxiety, food aggression, and other behavioral challenges. I’ve even worked with a former dog-fighting pit bull, learning to build trust and provide care at the dog’s pace. I’ve also trained and cared for my own pets throughout every stage of their lives, from puppyhood through adulthood. I love getting down on their level, learning their quirks, and figuring out what makes each individual dog feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether your pup is energetic, nervous, stubborn, goofy, or a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. Every dog has a different personality, and that’s one of my favorite things about caring for them. 🐾 Every pup is my favorite. I’m currently doing online EMT schooling and work overnight from 3pm-3am. I’m home with an open and flexible schedule during majority of the day, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My days are naturally centered around animals, so I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My husband works for the city and is often away for work, which means I have even more time to devote to my four-legged guests. I genuinely love having animals around and never get tired of giving them attention, affection, and plenty of love! 🐾 I have a private yard at home as well as a larger, gated public dog park nearby, giving my four-legged guests plenty of options for exercise and play. The neighborhood is very pet-friendly, and there are lots of friendly pups around for those who enjoy making new friends. There’s also a large park and pond just a short walk away, which is one of my favorite places to walk. I’m always happy to bring my furry guests along for some fresh air, exercise, and exploring! My home is also shared with my three cats, Lokie, Grim, and Indi, and my two dogs, Bear and Ghost. All five are part of the family and are accustomed to living in a busy, multi-pet household. My cats are comfortable around dogs, and my dogs are used to sharing their space with other animals. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision. Every pet gets individual care based on their personality, energy level, and needs. ❤️
About: Our family love dogs. Our home has plenty of indoor and outdoor running space. We treat dogs like family in our home. We have 2 children ages 10 and 5 and a 2 yr old golden doodle. We promise to interact with your pets and give them the love they deserve. We will send photos/videos of your pets and promise to keep you updated daily so that you have peace of mind while you are away. Also, we do not pet sit any pit bulls or pit mixes. Both my husband and I have flexible work schedules. I work from home everyday. There are times that I may have to leave the house to attend meetings for a couple of hours however your pet will not be alone for more than a 2 to 3 hr period as my husband also comes home if I have to be gone longer than that to tend to our own dog Sasha. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play. Our golden doodle is young and full of energy and loves to socialize with other dogs. If we have the opportunity to take care of your fur baby more than likely your fur baby would probably sleep in a bed just like our own golden doodle. I can promise you that your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and also be entertained by not just our fur baby but also our 2 kids who love all dogs. Please keep in mind that if your pet is unpredictable or has been aggressive in the past I can not take care of your pet as it’s important to keep our home safe for our children and other pets that may be in our care. Also, if your pet has a habit of marking territory inside a new home environment then our home will not be a good fit.
“Shelbi went above and beyond to take care of our dog and 2 cats as well as our house! She cleaned up for us without us asking and we will definitely be asking her to watch our animals every time we go out of town!”

“This was my first time on rover and will not be my last! Yorleney & Yoshua were awesome! Came and met Roo before hand and were so nice about getting pictures and updates everyday and taking the time to play with her! Thank you guys so much!”

About: Do you want someone to love your dog and care for it the way you do? That will be me and my 13 year old daughter. Our pup Coco is good with all types of dogs. It helps she has 11 best pup friends she sees from time to time. I am the one girl who always is asked to watch dogs for family, friends or family friends. I would love the opportunity to play, walk, and dog sit your favorite companion. I hope you choose me and if you have questions please do not hesitate to ask. A dog walks into a bar and hops up on a stool. He looks the bartender straight in the eye and says, “Hey, guess what? I can talk. Have you ever seen a talking dog before? Amazing, right? How about a drink?” The bartender thinks for a moment and says, “Sure, the toilet’s right around the corner.” I work from home every day of the week so I’m flexible with interacting, playing, walking and letting your pup outside when he or she need to. I have a fenced yard and a pup to keeps your company. Spacious backyard and squirrels to play with. So many toys to also keep your best friend busy and happy.

About: I was blessed to grow up with my Maltese, Cookie, for 14 wonderful years. My fiancé and I now share our 7 year old Australian Shepherd mix, Astro, and he’s truly part of the family. 🐾 I've always loved animals and grew up around all kinds of pets, including fish, bearded dragons, and turtles. I also spent a lot of my childhood outdoors and developed a love for animals and nature. I earned my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University as a pre-vet student. Ive worked at a zoo as a zoo keeper and was briefly introduced to dog training. I'm now finishing my Master's in Counseling, with a long-term goal of incorporating therapy dogs and horses into my work. I'm excited to provide your pets with the same love, attention, and care I'd want for my own. Whether they need a walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you're away, I'd love to help! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions or just to chat! My schedule is flexible, and I’ll keep my availability up to date. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping them safe and comfortable. For house sitting, I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. 🐾
About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. For the last 15+ years, I have been a dedicated owner to two highly active Shepherds, which means I am incredibly comfortable with high-energy working breeds and dogs of all sizes. I frequently sit multiple large dogs (50+ lbs) at the same time, so managing a lively pack is second nature to me. While I am not a professional trainer, I have a deep understanding of dog behavior. My own dog holds an AKC certification, and we actively practice tricks and obedience together. When I am walking or watching your dog, I don't just keep them safe, I actively engage with them, read their body language, and help reinforce their good habits. I currently work part-time during the day, and I am fully available Monday through Sunday after 5 p.m. My evenings are wide open and perfect for taking your pup on a long walk. As a dog walker, my top priority is leash safety and situational awareness. Having handled active Shepherds and 50+ lb dogs for 15+ years, I know how to read canine body language and avoid potential stressors on our route. I always double-check harnesses and collars, ensure your dog gets fresh water post-walk if needed, and securely lock your home before leaving.
“Kaylan was great with my cat, very communicative and gave me regular updates with pictures. I have peace of mind going out of town knowing Kaylan is checking on Penny!”


About: My husband works full time while I am home with the dogs. But he works mornings and is home in the evenings! Most of my free time I am home loving on my fur-kids. If I could adopt every fur-baby out there that needs someone to love them, I would. But since I can't, I am trying to find ways to help! I have 4 resident Poms, Kenzie, Dippy, Starr, and Bandit. I also have one resident crested-Pom mix Brenner. I also have a few Foster Poms. We foster for Recycled Pomeranian's. No matter the temperament , breed, age, size, I love them all. I will treat your family member as if they were my own! I would love to take care of your baby for the day or for as long as you need. Your fur-kid(s) will be inside but will be taken out to potty and play outside frequently! We have a medium to large fenced in backyard. They are NEVER left alone while in the backyard. We have dog beds, toys, and crates as needed. You will need to supply the food. so your fur-kid will be comfortable with their own food. Also I can administer meds if needed. I hope you will let me watch your baby for you so he/she can have the time of their life being part of our family!
About: I grew up taking care of puppies and rescues with my mom, and then moved into helping at a shelter while I was in college. As a grad student and current renter, I can’t have pets of my own so am glad to have the chance to get some cuddles in with yours. I'm happy to work with dogs of all ages and sizes and follow direction well if you are working with any training techniques. I have a soft spot for older dogs in particular and am also happy to look after any plants. I currently attend KU as a grad student where I teach two days a week and am focused on finishing my thesis this semester. I have a fairly flexible schedule and so can maintain a consistent routine for most pets while you’re gone. I’ve traveled a lot and been fortunate to be a guest in many people’s home. I pride myself on being respectful and leaving a house at least as good as I found it. I also try to prioritize pet comfort since I'm a guest in their home too. I try to let them lead interactions so they have a chance to warm up on their own level. I'm also happy to respect household rules and uphold the boundaries the pets are used to (ie., if they're not allowed on certain furniture). If you have any plants that need care while you're away, I love leaning into my green thumb too.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richland Hills
Samantha is amazing. I can't say enough good things about her. My parents were dealing with some medical issues and couldn't provide for their dog for a few weeks. She came over twice a day to make sure he was fed, walked, and give his insulin. She also was caring enough to reach out when their home health provider didn't arrive one day. She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend and will definitely use her services again.
Natalie has been helping us for a while now, and she has truly been the best! She’s incredibly reliable, always on time, and so caring with our girls. One of our girls is still a little shy, and Natalie has been so patient and gentle with her while she warms up. We’re so happy we found Natalie and feel completely comfortable knowing our girls are in such good hands!

We have used Andrea 3 times and she is absolutely amazing We have a big dogs and a senior dog and she works perfectly with all of them! We are always nervous to leave our babies with someone but Andrea made sure she communicated and we knew our pups were in good hands! Thank you Andrea

We are so grateful that Rebecca was able to step in last minute and do drop-in visits for our dog! We are always nervous about having someone we don’t know care for her, but from the very beginning, Rebecca made us feel completely at ease. She showed our pup so much care, love, and attention, and we never felt an ounce of nervousness while she was with her. Rebecca was incredibly attentive, a great communicator, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We truly appreciated the updates and knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!

Imán have been wonderful, she pays attention do every detail and every concern since my baby is a senior with neurological problems. She is such a calm sweet person and I believe our fur babies can sense that!! So sad she’ll be leaving soon but glad will have the best Vet in a future, I’m so glad for her! Thank you Iman!

Sarah was amazing and so communicative. She showed so much love and care for Bernie while we were away, that we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. This was our first family vacation and first time ever leaving Bernie. He is a senior dog and we weren’t sure how our vacation would impact his health. Thankfully Sarah sent us daily updates and kept us in the loop of Bernie’s daily activities. She is extremely reliable and sees these pets as her own. Anyone hesitant for a dog sitter because of the unknowns, I can not recommend her enough!

Jennifer was so good with both of my dogs! I felt comfortable knowing that she would take care of my babies while I was out of town. I also added an extra visit at the last minute, which she was more than happy to do. I would definitely recommend Jennifer. She has a calm demeanor, and you can tell that she really cares about your babies!

This woman is an angel! She’s so experienced with dogs from all walks of life and demeanors. She’s very professional and communicative and worthy to trust with your home and fur baby. My dog hates most people and they hit it off so quickly! I’m so relieved that I found someone capable of handling my reactive, and often unfriendly, dog.

This was just my 2nd booking with Jessy and Chase. They will be my go-to sitters from now on! Being a Rover sitter myself, with a fur family I cherish, my standards may be inordinately high :). In my opinion, becoming a recurring client is the best review one can provide!

I’ve been very happy with her help with my animals. She drops in once or twice a day as needed and adjusts to my schedule, which is extremely helpful, especially when I like to be gone for church all day on Sunday from like 9 AM until almost 9:30 PM… It’s so nice not having to run home in the middle of the day but yet still come home to all my fur babies, and they’ve been taken care of!

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 Richland Hills 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!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
