About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 25 years and especially love caring for senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, tortoises, guinea pigs, and other small pets, and I treat every animal with dependable, loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a way of life for my family. As a stay-at-home mom with five kids in school during the day, I have the time and flexibility to give your pets plenty of loving, attentive care. I provide dependable in-home pet care including drop-in visits, dog walks, feeding and food preparation, medication administration, playtime, companionship, and lots of loving attention to keep your pets comfortable in their own home.

About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.

About: Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I've always considered them true family members. The love they give to you, and being such loyal companions who deserve the same care, respect, and devotion we give to our own children. Throughout the years, I've taken full responsibility for their well-being, from feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, providing comfort when needed, and always prioritizing their happiness and health. I would and have gone to great lengths to ensure their safety and joy, treating them with the unconditional love they so freely give in return. I recently left my full-time job to pursue my families dream of owning and operating our own business, which we have now actually started together. With this significant life transition, I am seeking a flexible side opportunity that can generate additional income while aligning with helping those in need, all while getting to work with animals, especially dogs! When I discovered this app, it felt like the ideal combination, connecting with pet owners who require assistance with dog walking, playtime, check-ins, or basic care. It perfectly merges meaningful work, while providing companionship and support to animals. This opportunity fits perfectly with my values and allows me to make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners. I am excited about the potential and eager to get started! Treating them with the care and respect they deserve, all while giving them the attention they want! I love being with them as much as they love being with us!

About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old. I've always had a big heart, so I took the role of main caregiver for my pups and my kitty; I walked, fed, and cleaned them which continued into my adulthood as I've been a committed carer for friends' dogs. For a short time (4 months), I moved to Mexico and was a live-in dog carer for two puppies: a Yorkie and Bichon Frise! I also became dual carer for my partner's three dogs of varying ages and we rescued and raised a beautify cat together. I also know what it means to lose your beloved pal as I've had experience with caring for aging doggies and sitting with them as they passed over the doggy rainbow. I currently work full-time with special needs kids from 8-5 daily. I'm available for drop-ins after work, overnight stays and I have full weekend availability! I am available for walks and stays at your home. My care for your home will reflect the deep care I have for your pet. I would love know what you freel comfortable with in your home and integrate your needs as I make sure your pet(s) are well cared for!

“Was perfectly on time and handled all the dogs and cats great even on short notice. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Family members and friends regularly trust me to watch their dogs because they know they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and care for them according to their individual needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs a gentler approach, I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and love that I would my own pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule and full availability, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether you need daytime visits, evening care, weekends, holidays, or last-minute bookings, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I’ll always make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication, playtime, and any special requests. Every pet has different needs and personalities, so I adapt my care to make them feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“We had a trip coming up and were worried about our animals being taken care of while we were away. That’s how we came to find Rover and Starla. Starla was amazing, she did better than we had hoped and although we still worried about our animals every second of our trip, we felt immensely better knowing Starla was there looking out for them. She was great at communicating with us before our booking and got to meet everyone and helped us come up with a plan and then during our trip she always sent multiple photos of everyone and we always looked forward to reading the Rover Cards after each visit. We can’t say how grateful we are to Starla and there is not a doubt in my mind that we will book her again for our next trip!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years, including both my own pets and those of others who trusted me with their companions. Along with dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for smaller pets like birds, rabbits, and fish. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I make it my priority to give them the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive care for pets. I’m rarely away from home for more than four hours at a time, ensuring your pet receives consistent companionship and supervision. I have a fenced backyard where pets can safely play and explore. I also have three friendly, socialized dogs of my own that can keep your pet company. If your pet prefers a quieter space or you’re crate-training, I’m happy to accommodate crate setups to ensure they feel comfortable and secure.

“Mona is the best!! She always takes such good care of my dog Duncan, and my cats Stewie and Burt Reynolds. They all love her, even Burt Reynolds and he doesn’t like many people. She is punctual and sends me tons of pictures. I have used her services multiple times and it just wonderful to have that peace of mind when traveling.”

Jessica R.

“We had a great experience with Sedra! She is reliable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away for six days. She made sure he was fed, played with him, and gave him lots of attention he clearly liked her and felt comfortable around her. She was also very communicative throughout the entire time, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely trust her to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

It was a great feeling to know our cat was being taken care of when we were out of town. We will definitely be booking Tracy again! Thanks for being so wonderful with our baby!”
