“Emily has shown amazing care for my older dog and my cat. She updated me frequently to let me know how they were doing with pictures and funny anecdotes. She brushed my long haired dog and ensured that I came home to a clean litter box at the end of my long trip. She is an excellent Rover and I will always choose to use her ! Thank you, Emily!”
“My pups and I all love Meagan! I have two shy dogs and the shyer one especially took to Meagan immediately. She’s so great with them and gives them all the love! Meagan gives my dogs the level of care that not only I as a dog mom would give them, but also as a full-time Rover sitter myself. I would highly recommend Meagan!”
“Callie was awesome!!! My babies loved her and she is very respectful when it comes to communication and taking pictures. I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Callie☺️”
“We scheduled drop-in in visits while on a business trip. Alexis met for a consultation and then arrived as scheduled. She was wonderful to my senior dog, professional, sending reports and pics, and giving short walks too. I won't hesitate to book again and also recommend Alexis to others. Thank You.”
“Amber has done an amazing job taking care of my babies, with two that have chronic conditions she has been an absolute professional. Her communication is amazing and is so sweet to my senior citizens. Thank you Amber!”
About: Hi! I'm Lina, a passionate and reliable pet care provider with 14 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's dogs, cats, or small pets, I treat every animal like family—because that's what they are. I'm trained in basic pet first aid, understand animal behavior, and specialize in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry (or feathered!) companions. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m currently not working a traditional 9–5 job. That means I have the flexibility and time to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve—whether that’s midday walks, extended cuddle sessions, or being available for last-minute needs. Your pet won’t just be another stop in a busy day—they’ll be my priority. I respect your home and keep your pets safe by sticking to routines, keeping their space tidy, and staying in communication. I also will make them love me.
“Suzi does a great job with our fur babies, particularly our anxious rescue dog! She sends pictures with every update and tells us what they did and how they’re doing.”
“Heather was great! She sent so many photos at each visit. I felt very comfortable while on my vacation knowing that my dog was well cared for and had someone to play with while I was gone.”
About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m your pet’s new best friend! I make sure every visit is filled with love, play, and care that feels just like home. I work full time as a social worker for low income families and the homeless community. I currently have half days Thursdays and Fridays where I get off at 1:30pm and my weekends are free do you can enjoy a weekend getaway while knowing your pet is in trusting hands! While you’re away, I’ll treat your pet and home like my own. From fresh food and water to belly rubs, playtime, and cozy cuddles, your furry friend will get all the love and attention they deserve. I’ll also keep your home safe and tidy, so you can relax knowing everything — and everyone — is in caring hands.
About: We’d be honored to be your pet’s home away from home. With us, they’ll be pampered, loved like family, and treated just like our own :) My girlfriend Priscilla and I work from home, which means we get to spend lots of quality time with the pets in our care. We have a spacious, clean backyard that’s professionally treated every week perfect for playtime! And we're excited to be adding a mini dog pool soon for even more fun! You’ll receive photo and video updates of your pet during their stay, so you can feel close even while you're apart. Our home is a safe, loving space, and our friendly pups are always excited to welcome new furry friends!
“Amora is amazing! She took such great care of my dog Kobe and always kept me updated by sending me updates with pictures. Being away from your dog can be tough, but I felt confident that Kobe was well taken care of with Amora. I highly recommend her!!”
“Wendy was very attentive and loving with our indoor kitty and outdoor kitty. She communicated with us when she was going to be late one day and asked if that was okay. Our kitties took a liking to her and they are very discerning - so it’s clear she is a true cat lover!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10, helping out neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, and looking after their pets. Most recently, I fostered a dog for two weeks and absolutely loved having her around. I've also trained several puppies to get ready for adoption, focusing on basic obedience and good behavior. While I'm not a certified trainer, I'm confident in teaching dogs of all ages, puppies to seniors, commands like sit, lay down, name recall, and gentle behavioral correction. I treat every dog like they're my own and work hard to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I'm free in the evenings and always happy to spend that time playing with your pups. I'm also off on weekends, which makes me fully available for walks, drop-ins, and weekend boarding. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I always make time for it in my schedule. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with easy access to nearby lawns, dog trails, and dog parks; perfect for daily walks and playtime. I'm comfortable crating your dog if needed or simply being there to keep them company. Whether your pup needs exercise, essential care while you're away, or just a reliable nap buddy, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way.
“Natalie was amazing with our 2 pups! This was their first time with having a dog walker and I was a little nervous, but she was amazing and kept us updated with pictures and feedback our entire trip. 100% would recommend Natalie to my friends and family!”
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!
About: For the past 5 years, being the helpful caretaker for my family and friends fur babies became an unexpected and enjoyable hobby of mine! At this point in time I figured why not expand out? :) Pet care fits into my single mom life perfectly as I do have a lot of extra time to care for pets with my daughter who also enjoys the company! Your fur babies are welcomed into my home with care and respect. I do have a fenced, medium sized back yard and a safe environment inside my home. I want to know all of your babies special needs and requests!

Ali & Priscilla A.
“Ali loves animals he is the only person I know that will adopt any animal that needs a home and gives them food, shelter and a place of their own but most importantly he gives them love, Ali gives them the type of love that they never had so it encourages us like humans to step up and love the way he does. One time I was in need of a dog sitter and even made my dog a nice home of his own, my dog fell so in love that now I take him over every now and then. Most people would drive past a pet in need but not Ali, no sir he will make sure that pet makes it out to sniff another day. !”
