“Laini is an AMAZING petsitter! She has so much energy and is such a thoughtful person. She was so kind to our elderly kitties, giving them snacks and loves in their favorite hiding places. Oh, and she’s en expert groomer! She gave us life-changing tips on how to groom our long-hair Persian kitties! Will definitely book again!”


“Donna is excellent, she took great care of our dog over the weekend. She kept us updated with photos, text messages and got plenty of love and care. Thank you again Donna.”


“Sandra was great with my pets. I have a senior cat and senior dog. Both of them were relaxed and content when I got back from my trip. I'm glad I decided to have Sandra stay over versus doing visits because I think it made a big difference in reducing the stress of my absence to my pets. Sandra is also clearly experienced with pets and managed my pets feeding habits very well. I'm very happy to have found someone I can trust with my older pets.”


“Alicia was wonderful! We received regular updates, including photos and videos. She seemed to understand the personality of each of our pups and made sure everyone got what they needed. We felt very relaxed during her stay - and even came back to a clean and tidy house. Highly recommended, would definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Hannah did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat and house sitting for two nights. She was very conscientious of my pets’ needs and took great care of them. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her.”


“Alexis was great! We have only left our girl with family in the past, so we were nervous to leave her with a new person at first, but Alexis made us feel comfortable that Millie was going to be spoiled while we were away (and she definitely was!). Thanks Alexis for making us feel at ease, we didn't have a single worry about her while we were gone. ❤️”


“Kaylan did an amazing job with our somewhat difficult dog. She sent so many pictures and really eased our minds while we were traveling abroad! I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kaylan!”

“I have used Alicia for dog sitting in my home and plan on continuing to do so when I must travel for work. She is extremely reliable and quickly established a great relationship with Bentley. This immediately eased any concerns I had leaving him as she cares for him as I would. Alicia is great at communicating and providing updates during my time away. You can fully trust that your pet is in wonderful hands. I highly recommend her services! You will not be disappointed.”


“Ann did a stellar job staying and caring for our two dogs in our home while we were on vacation. We recently moved in and don’t have our fence up yet and Ann did great navigating taking them out on leash for bathroom breaks. We received ample updates and photos, communication was prompt, and Ann left our home in a clean condition. Our dogs were happy and well looked after and we would use Ann again in the future. We highly recommend!”


“Mikayla was fantastic looking after our dog, puppy, and 3 cats last minute over the weekend. She was a great companion for our pets. Our puppy is 11-13 weeks old and has a demanding schedule, Mikayla did wonderfully meeting the needs of lil Mousse. Responsive, professional, flexible with meet and greet times, and patient as we assembled our Rover profile. The pets were happy and the house was as we left it. Highly recommend and would book again for housesitting.”


“Kylie helped us with a sitting last minute and was great! She was really good with communication and kept us updated throughout and sent us pics of our pups. We had no complaints!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since the age of eight, having been taught from a young age how to handle animals with both safety and responsibility. Whether with my own pets or those entrusted to me, I always go above and beyond to ensure they feel happy, healthy, and secure. My experience also includes volunteering at pet adoption centers, where I witnessed firsthand the effects of neglect—and it deeply shaped my approach to animal care. Since then, I’ve made it a personal mission to ensure every animal I encounter feels loved, respected, and well cared for, no matter how brief our time together may be. I currently work full-time in Dallas. I would be available after 5pm on the weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am flexible with my hours on the weekends. I am also available early mornings before work and can do what works best for you! I have a fenced in backyard. I also have plenty of dog bowls and toys for dogs to play with. My home is pet friendly as there aren't many places for small dogs to get trapped in a small space. My floors are hardwood if there are any accidents that may happen as well.

“Michele was great to work with. She provided the exact level of communication I was looking for. I came home to happy, safe pets. I am very grateful for her valuable care of them while I was traveling.”

Armani F.
“I took a trip with my family to New York and we left our little shih-tzu/poodle mix Lilly to be cared for by Armani and she went above & beyond to make Lilly feel safe and cared for which made us feel as though we could enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dog's wellbeing. She didn't just feed her and leave as most pet sitters would. She stuck around to pet her and play with her, and sent us pictures to update us on how Lilly was doing. We definitely will be looking for Armani to come back to care for Lilly next time we go somewhere. So grateful to have found her!”

Nicholas M.
“I highly recommend Nick as a pet sitter on Rover! Nick is not only a lifelong animal lover but also brings a wealth of professional experience to the table. As a former K9 handler and now a K9 supervisor, he has an exceptional understanding of canine behavior, training, and care. His background makes him uniquely qualified to handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from high-energy pups to senior companions who need a gentler approach. Nick has spent his life surrounded by animals, especially dogs, and it shows in his calm, confident, and compassionate demeanor. He’s attentive to their needs, quick to recognize and respond to subtle behavioral cues, and always puts their well-being first. Whether it’s a structured walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, Nick brings professionalism, warmth, and dedication to every interaction. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about animals, Nick is the ideal choice. I would trust him with my own pets without hesitation — and that’s the highest praise I can give.”
