About: With years of hands-on experience, I've volunteered at animal shelters where I gained valuable insight into caring for a variety of dogs. Growing up with both big and small breeds, I've learned how to adapt to each dog's unique needs and personality. Additionally, I regularly take care of my roommate's dog when she's away, further honing my skills in providing reliable, loving care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I’m committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available on weekends to offer the best care for your dog. Whether it's dog sitting, walking, or just spending quality time with your furry friend, weekends work perfectly for me to ensure they get the attention they deserve while you're busy. Let me know how I can help! I take great pride in providing a comfortable and safe environment for pets, both in my home and in my clients' homes. When caring for pets in my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. In your home, I make sure to respect your pet's familiar surroundings while providing the same level of care. I stick to their routine, offer companionship, and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, always ensuring they’re happy and well-cared for.
“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”

“Dani is super great! Easy to communicate, on-time, respond fast, remember all care needs, write notes and send pics when visiting, and most importantly, truly love my cat! 💕🐈”

“Casey was wonderful! What should have been a simple few days of drop-in visits turned out to be chaos. But, with all the problems on our end, he handled everything admirably- and with a calm that put us all at ease. I can't thank him enough!”

“Anastasia was so amazing to my pups and made me feel so much better about leaving them behind for the first time!! She sent the best pics and I could tell they were so happy with her. I will continue to use her for any future drop ins!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Emma, and I have over 8 years of pet-sitting experience caring for both cats and dogs throughout high school and college. Including check ins, walks, and playtime. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, chinchillas, and guinea pigs. I currently have a Flemish Giant rabbit named Gravy. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own by providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while maintaining their normal routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I currently work full-time, but I maintain a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays, after 12:00 PM on Sundays, after 6:00 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and before 12:00 PM on Wednesdays. When I am not at work, I am free and do not have any other obligations. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs within my availability. When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection based on what each pet enjoys most. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I am also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize your pet's safety and well-being. When staying in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep living areas clean and tidy, and strive to maintain a familiar environment so your pets experience as little stress as possible while you're away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help give you peace of mind. As someone who has grown up around animals and cared for a variety of pets throughout my life, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to ensure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for during my time with them.
“Heather has been our go-to caretaker for our cat since we moved to the area. She goes above and beyond to make sure he gets all the pets, play, and love. I could not recommend her enough.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Diane and the care she provided our 2 cats. She arrived promptly and on time for each visit, kept us updated on how the cats were doing, and even spent more time with them than she had to. We were able to enjoy our vacation thanks to her. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi! A lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to two miniature poodles. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, which is why I treat every pet like part of our family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and low stress experience where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and personalized care. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and special needs, and strive to make every dog feel at home while you’re away I offer dog walking services for dogs of all sizes and may have availability throughout the week depending on my work schedule. Boarding is available Thursday through Sunday only, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to the dogs staying in my home and provide a calm, family style experience. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in an apartment with a secure outdoor area for supervised potty breaks, along with regular walks and a structured routine. For boarding, I specialize in small and medium sized dogs and only accept one family at a time to ensure a peaceful environment and personalized care. Dogs must be comfortable sleeping in a crate overnight for safety and consistency.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was little. I’ve always loved being around them!! This started out as something fun & quickly grew into one of my greatest passions. I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking, cooking, or walking. I am left with plenty of free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks!! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. All they show is love so why not show it back. 🐾 💕🐾 💕🐾
“Second time I have used Sofia! She is AMAZING! Very kind and will take great care of your fur babies. I love my animals like children and the horror stories of rovers scares me! I am so thankful to have found a great sitter I can trust!”

I’m currently looking for an extra source of income, and what better way than by doing something I genuinely love—spending time with animals! While I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve had hands-on experience helping care for my roommate’s chihuahua, Juju, throughout college. I co-parented her while my roommate balanced a busy school and work schedule. In addition, I volunteered at Safe Haven Animal Shelter just outside of Lubbock during my time at Texas Tech, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. I’m attentive to dogs’ needs—whether it’s a potty break, a walk around the park, or just some quality playtime and affection. I understand that pets require love, patience, and attention, and I’m more than ready to give them the care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full time Monday - Thursday. I am free all day on Fridays and have limited availability on Saturdays afternoons ( mornings I’m available) I offer dog walking services and dog sitting services at your convenience! I do not plan to take the dogs to my own home (I believe dogs should be comfortable and feel safe in the environment they know well). During dog walks I will be willing to share my location!

About: I’ve loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, large breeds, and even managing multiple dogs at once (up to five), so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in safe, trustworthy hands when you’re away. I’m excited to meet your canine companion and guarantee I will care for them with the same attention, patience, and love I give my own! As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day based on your dog’s specific needs and routine. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or consistent companionship, I can offer dependable coverage at a variety of times. I’m also available for overnight stays and extended dog sitting, including care for trips lasting up to a week, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in consistent, caring hands. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, but I provide reliable in-home pet sitting so your dog can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’ve had great success with combined pet and house sitting, ensuring both your dog and your home are well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, or routines. I also have experience with puppies and can reinforce training such as basic obedience, leash walking, and fun tricks during my time with them.

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ali and Priscilla were amazing with our pups! This is the second time we have booked with them and we will continue to use their services in the future. We added a new addition to our family since the first time they watched our pups and they handled it with such ease. They kept us updated and sent lots of pictures which I love!

Nathan did a great job with watching my dog while I was traveling. Things that stood out to me about Nathan was his on time check ins, how well he followed my directions, and the plenty of pictures and fast responses he would sent me. Nathan has a wonderful dog himself and he put aside time for our dogs to meet. My dog for sure enjoyed having a friend while I was away. Thanks again Nathan you did fantastic!
