“Jennifer was amazing. She was very kind and professional. She came on time for the meet and greet. She took care of my dog well for two days. I will definitely ask her to take care of Nate again.”

“Jeanne was amazing and I would have her move into my home if I could! She took care of the animals so well and she was so sweet and the animals loved her and I loved her and my husband even loved her. Thank you so much, Jeanne!”
“Valerie met all my expectations. I have an insulin dependent older dog as well as a two-year-old pup. She kept me up to date with pictures of the dogs on their walks and sitting cuddle up with you on the couch. I was so comforted to see them next to her.,I knew they were happy.😃”
“Liz was fabulous! She spent three nights at my house with my two large dogs and cat. She sent pictures and updates while I was gone, and everyone seemed happy when I got home. She even washed her linens and tidied up my house a bit before leaving. I will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: Hi I’m Alexis. Dogs have always been my favorite animals. I aim to keep your buddy comfortable, taken care of, and engaged. I have a lot of energy to play with your dog, and love to go on runs. I am more than happy to accommodate any special needs they have. I have experience training two puppies over the past five years, potty training, etc. I live by a park where your dog will be able to run freely. I will love and take care of your dog like it’s my own. I have a 2 year old short hair named Legend, he’s playful and gets along really well with other dogs, he loves meeting new animals, and is always exploring. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
“I can’t say enough good things about Zacharia! He house sat for us and did an amazing job and was super nice! We received daily photo updates which really put us at ease while on vacation. Watering our indoor and outdoor plants was also not a problem for him. Great communication and prompt responses times. We really couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our fur babies. We will definitely be using Zacharia in the future!”
“Ana is so capable and communicative. She handled a medical emergency with our special needs pup with so much patience and grace. We would not be able to leave town without her help!”
About: I raised my own furbaby for almost 11 years and I petsit all my family members' animals (including chickens, guinea pigs, and even a horse). As a teenager I was the go-to pet walker and sitter for the neighborhood and I am quite talented at "convincing" pets to take their meds. I also have lots of experience with puppy pads and cleaning "messes". We just moved to FW and I plan on working part time substitute teaching while I work on updating my teaching and music therapy credentials. I'll have plenty of time (and probably energy) to come ensure your pets are staying healthy and loved. I like to keep my eyes on them as much as humanly possible, especially if they're codependent, baby/elderly, or with medical concerns. That water bowl stays full! Exercise, play, and snuggles are highly recommended. I also own a pet stroller for anyone that wants their pet "walked" without them having to actually be on the ground.
“Amelia was very communicative, shared some photos, and seemed to have a nice couple of days w/ our dog. She was on time to our initial meet and ensured our dog was cared for before she left, even as our timeline shifted on return a couple of times. On top of it all, she left the house as clean or cleaner than she found it. We would definitely use her again if the occasion arises.”
“First let me preface this by saying this was our first experience with using the Rover app, with that said, Christian was wonderful with our boys and we were so fortunate to find her. She sent pictures and gave us plenty of updates while we were away. Our boys loved her and it was the first time we were able to relax and not worry about them while away from home. We arranged a couple of pre-trip meetings in our home so she could get to know our boys in their environment and we could chat and get comfortable with each other. We wanted to book her for future plans but she was unfortunately unavailable. We can’t say enough wonderful things about her!”
“Amazing experience with Lauren! She stayed 3 nights/ 4 days with my two little dogs and I was super impressed. She is professional, kind, respectful and most of all GREAT with my fur babies.”
“Kaylah did a great job at petting sitting for me while I was away on a work trip! She sent me updates and pictures of my pup to let me know how he was doing while I was away. I will definitely request her again the next time I need someone to watch my fur babies!”
About: Hi there! My name is Fabiola, and I’d be honored to care for your beloved pets. 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!

Meagan C.
“I have known Meagan for 29 years. She helped us train our dog and sat for our dog and cat many times throughout the years. She loves walking and playing with our dog, and our dog squeals with joy every time she comes to visit. When Meagan was a teen, she was a favorite of her neighbor to repeatedly sit for their cat, dog and iguanas. One time her dog, Chloe, had knee surgery. She was very patient with Chloe's recovery and even got a dog stroller to take he for walks in the neighborhood so she wouldn't miss out on her outside time. As Chloe got older she was very careful to follow medication regimen's outlined by her vet. I enthusiastically recommend Meagan for your pet caregiver service.”
