“Rylee watched our two cats while we were gone for the holidays and did a great job watching over them! She was very communicative and sent pictures for each of her visits, I’d definitely recommend her and will rebook her in the future!”

About: Your dog’s adventure buddy while you’re away. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, and dependable care tailored to your pup’s unique personality. I’m here to make your puppers feel safe and be a home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a pet owner myself. I plan my schedule around providing consistent care, exercise, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or check-ins throughout the day, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plus access to a dog park and Trinity River trails for exercise and enrichment. I follow each baby boy or girl’s routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and keep owners updated with photos throughout their stay.
“Olivia is great! You can tell she really cares about your pet. She has great communication and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter.”

“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.”

“10/10 recommend. Ninabelle did a phenomenal job checking in on my dogs while I was out of state. She is incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”

“Suzanne was able to help take care of my doggos on short notice! I’m very appreciative of her and her time, and of course appreciate that she was kind and gentle with my animals! :) Definitely recommend Suzanne!!”
“Andrea has been so great! Our Phoebe has been so happy having a new friend to hang out with her for a little bit during the week. Super sweet dog sitter and we can’t thank her enough!”

“Meagan was super sweet and great with our kitties. She gave them fresh water each visit, topped off their food, picked the cat litter, and cleaned up their puke mess. She even swept the loose litter and brought in a package that was delivered! She gave the kitties she could find lots of lovies as well. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!
“Amber goes above and beyond! Not only do I trust her wholeheartedly with my two babies but she also takes care of me! She waters my plants does my dishes picks up the girls potty and has even offered to do so much more! I can’t think of a better person for this job!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She had great communication with me while I was gone, and made sure to send lots of pictures. I will definitely be requesting her again!”


About: I have helped my family take care of animals since I was twelve years old. We foster animals through the Humane Society of North Texas and have helped numerous animals recover, grow, and get adopted. I have fostered with my family for close to nine years now, which includes experience with bottle babies (kittens and puppies), full grown dogs and cats, and even a pregnant guinea pig. I have taken care of neighbor's pets before and my family's dogs as well. I am a college student off for summer break and have plenty of extra time to look after precious animals! I will be available to provide care for any pet(s). I will stick to whatever routine you have set for your animal(s). Whether they are indoor/outdoor or need to be crated and let out occasionally, I am flexible. I am also comfortable with animals of any size, and I have dealt with a lot of dogs with varying temperaments.
“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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet experience, and caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I’m the go-to person for friends and family when they need help with their pets, and I’m always happy to step in with love, patience, and reliability. I share my home with one small dog with a big personality who loves playing with new friends and welcoming visiting pups. I work from home and my flexible schedule allows us to enjoy neighborhood strolls and park adventures, and I’d be thrilled to include your dog in our outings—or keep things calm and cozy if that’s more their style. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience includes working with a local rescue group and fostering dogs from all backgrounds. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from bottle-fed newborns to senior dogs with complex medical issues. I’m attentive, compassionate, and committed to learning each pet’s unique routine, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Whether your dog is here for adventure, snuggles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure their time with me feels like a home away from home. 🐾💛 I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and naps—so they feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while in my care. I care for pets either in your home or mine, and I make it feel easy, fun, and stress-free for everyone. With experience from tiny puppies to wise seniors (and everything in between), I know how to create a safe, happy, and loving environment where your furry friends feel right at home.
River Oaks pet 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!

Jill reached out promptly after receiving my message to schedule a meet-and-greet with my fur babies, which I truly appreciated. It was immediately clear how much she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. She maintained consistent communication and provided regular updates while I was away, giving me complete peace of mind and allowing me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. I will absolutely be booking her again!

Rieko is wonderful!!! She is attentive, communicative, quick to respond, reliable, responsible, and amazing with my kitties. She is clearly experienced with animals and an animal lover. My kitties were very well taken care of. I give Rieko my highest recommendation and will absolutely have her cat sit again! ❤️

Kenna was great! She was very responsive and even offered a meet and greet to make sure she and my cat got along. She provided pictures and updates after every visit, and I really appreciate her showing up every day to make sure my cat’s food and water were fresh. Reliable and caring — would definitely recommend!
