“Luciana was great! She was able to modify her day to accommodate our changing plans on Saturday! She gave us many many photos which I loved through the day! She kept us up to date and our puppy happy! Thanks for allowing us to have a day away! Will 10/10 hire again!”

“Chance got a good walk; it was mapped and shared with me as well as photos. I told Stormie that Tuffy the Cat may follow. He did and was welcomed on the walk. Chance is a challenge, but Stormie was able to keep him calm and not so much overly friendliness that he tends to exhibit. Not this same booking, but they also came and fed Chance and Tuffy breakfast the next morning. I will definitely use them again.”

About: I am a basic obedience dog trainer, who has 3+ years as a Vet Tech. I love all dogs: Big, small, loud, quiet, hairy, or no hair! I have my own dog so I know the importance! This is a side gig so my availability varies by day, so feel free to reach out and see if I can fit your needs. Since I have so much experience I know exactly what every pet needs. I am more than experience in basic necessities and play time. Trust me :)

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I grew up in a farm with cows, chickens, horses, cats, dogs & more! I can do it all from walks, talks, and treats! I love being around animals and there’s not a pet to big or small that doesn’t need some extra love when their family is away! I’m excited to meet my new furry friends! I’m currently working part time and am a nursing student in the fall! Looking for something to fill the long summer days! I’m available almost daily, and weekends too! I have a new puppy Goose, and another dog at home, Luca! Both are crate trained, and taken on daily walks! I bath and brush them at home, and currently teaching Goose new tricks!

About: Being a country girl, I have pet sit anything from dogs to indoor pot belly pigs to even donkeys. I've had dogs my entire life (4 of my own currently) and love to make your worry less while away. I love to send pictures and videos so you can see first hand how much love they are receiving when you are away. If you have animals besides cats and dogs, I would love to help with them as well. I work part time for a local retailer and prefer to be with animals so, I can almost always move my schedule around to accommodate except the time line that I need to get in the school line for my kids I only pet sit in your home as I have 5 very spoiled dogs on my own. I do bring my 4 old and 9 year old with me if I can to help play ball and show your pups (or fellow animals as much affection as they need while you are away.

About: I’ve joined Rover to give to your animals all the love and care I can no longer give my own, and trust me there’s a lot. I’m quite good at calming and comforting dogs. I’m also energetic and playful so if getting lots of exercise is a goal, it will be met, along with any other special requirements or needs your dog might have. I’ve owned a wide range of animals from cats and dogs, to ducks and guinea pig , so I’m comfortable if you have more than one pet, walking dogs of the same family won’t be an issue, I understand the different personalities your pets may have and am ready to treat them, and you, responsibly and respectively. With safety and fun as my top priorities.

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life. I have lots of experience with little dogs including puppy care (as I have four little ones at home), but I have experience with big dogs as well. I am comfortable walking, bathing, feeding, potty training, and any other thing your dog might need! I'm currently working part-time, looking for my next full-time opportunity. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can care for your pet any time you want. When your pets are in my care, I will always make sure they are happy and well cared for. Along with keeping your pet fed, clean, and tired out (I love to play with the pups), I will keep your space clean as well. I am extremely neat so I guarantee I will leave your place (and your pup) the same, if not better, than I found it.

Dogs have free range of the house just like it's their home. Although we do follow their same rules and schedule as at home (being on furniture, feeding times etc.) Dogs are kenneled if I leave the home for their safety.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and love every single animal I come in contact with. I will treat every animal as if they were my own and give them all the love and care they deserve while you're away/busy. I have four dogs of my own as well as three cats and a whole lot of chickens! I promise you that your dogs and cats will be under amazing care and will have the best time possible whenever they are with me. Attention will never be neglected when your animal is with me and my daughter :) I have experience with all age ranges of dogs and cats as I have had my animals since they were puppies / kittens and have senior animals currently. I am a single mom so my daughter will have to come with me during visits / stays / walks but she has been around animals since she was 2 days old and loves all animals! I am currently staying home with my daughter until she starts school in the fall of 2026 so I have complete flexibility for your animals! I am very detail oriented when it comes to animals and their car. Whether you have a relaxed and laid back baby or a full on ball of energy you can trust that your babies will be well taken care of and loved just like they’re my own.

About: I've been an animal lover all my life!! I cling to them, and they cling to me. I grew up with pets that were my responsibility and have continued to be a pet owner throughout my entire life. They are my comfort, and I've always felt a soul connection to animals. I'm the weirdo at gatherings in the floor loving on peoples' pets over visiting with people, no matter the time or place lol! Even though, I'm a mother to 5 beautiful boys, I still treat my pets like they are my children as well. I currently have 3 dogs, a blue heeler, Lucy; an American bulldog/lab mix who is my old chunky man, named Trey, and an elderly little Yorkie rescue, Livy. I also have a rescue cat that we took in when she was 4-6months old. She's 5 now, and the coolest cat ever. She has no fear of dogs, and she's an avid little hunter. Having had animals my whole life, I have had experience with dogs & cats in labor, giving dogs medication, and I even saved a chihuahua from parvo by administering her IV fluids myself. I've also given countless vaccines to our animals over the years. I have also encountered sicknesses in our pets over the years and I can recognize signs of distress and would be able to communicate issues with you if they were to arise. I am passionate about all animals, and I have a lot of respect for them as well. If you have a pet that takes time to come around, I will be patient and provide the space they need while also ensuring their comfort and safety. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to 5 boys, my youngest is almost 4 and the only one I have left with me during the school day. He is just like me and is animal obsessed. I'm recently separated from my husband, so picking the other kids up from school is a priority in my schedule. I do sometimes have help with my older boys from my parents, so given the specific job, I can make adjustments based on your preferences. For well-fare checks with potty breaks throughout the day, I have no problem making that work. I'm open to doing overnights or multiple day stays if needed. My pets are like family as I mentioned early. They go in the car with me to run errands, they snuggle with me, and I take them on walks to pick up the kids from school with me on occasion. I do scheduled feedings for them and keep water available at all times. Also, as I mentioned before, I have 5 kids, but I still maintain regular potty break schedule for them as well and they were all housebroken. I've had all my pets neutered or spayed. I also regularly give my dogs baths, and trim their nails, which I'll happily do for your pet if needed, if they are comfortable with that.

About: I was lead kennel technician for 3 years. I maintained and watched over the care of dogs daily. I trained dogs to be the best they can behaviorally. I excel in bonding experiences with your beloved pets and treat them like my own! I also enjoy taking tons of cute pictures and sending them to their owners. I would like to watch after your fur friend! I’m currently a part time worker and willingly have more than enough time to spend with your pets. I’m currently available all week days and some weekends upon notice and availability. I make sure to keep up on any schedule you have set for your dog, from potty schedules to water/food and play time. I can kennel your pets if needed as well as take them on walks as needed. There will be constant updates on your pets as well as requested!

About: Familiar with handling all breeds, experience in giving meds if needed. I have had pets my entire life, and most recently worked at a veterinary clinic. Willing to provide number so that you may speak with my former co-workers or boss. I am currently a student at TSTC Waco on Mondays and Wednesdays, but my other days are free. I look forward to meeting new babies and taking good care of them. Your baby's safety is number one. Will be happy to provide inside or outside play, providing there is a secure fence. (On lead outside only without fence) Can provide quiet or more robust play, depending on your baby's particular personality/needs. I am familiar with and willing to administer meds as needed when feeding. I am committed to your baby's well being while in my care, and cannot wait to love on them. 🥰

About: I have taken care of pups ever since I can remember. I grew up with two mini schnauzer’s (Max and Ruby). And yes before you ask we did name them from the TV show. I also have two pups at home. One is a chihuahua named Hooey (my husband named him) and our rescue australian shepherd named Layla. I have always been the go to for friends and family for pet sitting because of my love for dogs. I hope to be able to be your go to as well!! I personally am a stay at home dog momma and so I have all the time in the world to help you out when needed! I personally treat my pup and other people’s like they are my own children. They deserve the best. My favorite saying is “your dog isn’t with you for your whole life but you are for theirs” and it has always stuck with me to try to make my pups lives the best I can!

Laken R.

I'm lucky to have had Savannah as a dog sitter, and Charlotte is always excited at the mention of her.”
