I currently work untill 1pm most days and am free in the afternoon I have a young dog so there is lots of ball throwing, running in the yard, tug-of-war and frisbee happening at my house. I do great with dogs who need lots of intention and love or dogs who just want to play ball, I will follow all care instructions provided and give just as much attention to your pet as if it were my own. I have a high amount of training with a professional breeder and have administered medication to pets, given IV drips, all puppy care from birth and up, done dog training and helped with physical therapy, grooming, trimming and more.
About: I’ve taken care of large breed dogs for the past 6 years. Additionally I have experience administering oral medication to dogs. Making sure that animals are completely comfortable in every interaction is my goal. I’m currently working part time for about 14 hours a week so my schedule is pretty flexible.

My goal is to take care of your pet as if they’re my own and I strive to make sure they feel loved and cared for in every interaction.

About: Pampered fur- babies are welcomed! If your baby enjoys daily walks or sitting at home, I am your girl. Here to meet your fur-babies needs. I work from home on Friday and my weekends are spent at home. Errands are usually less than 2 hours. Very flexible during the busy holiday season. Spacious home with a large fenced yard is ready to meet your fur-babies needs. Daily play time and unlimited walks are offered and or cuddles.🥰 We currently do not have any fur-babies at home so yours will have all my attention. I fallow the schedule you provide and can help with any dietary needs like cooking or assembling of their food. Requested information about your pet. Are they fully potty trained? Any anxiety and if so what can we do to help? Are they up to date on all vaccinations? Any aggression towards children?
“Michael really goes above and beyond what is required. He’s more than just a dog sitter, he really has a passion towards my dog that I wasn’t expecting. Very thankful I found someone who embraces and enjoys a German Shepherd.”
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I live with four dogs, so I understand better than most what different personalities, energy levels, and quirks look like and I meet every pet exactly where they are. I have a background in healthcare and just finished my graduate degree in nutrition, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I take animal wellness seriously. I’m completely comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules, dietary needs, or any specific instructions you leave, following care protocols is genuinely second nature to me. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I know how much peace of mind matters when you hand your pet off to someone. My goal is always to send you home (or to work, or on your trip) feeling totally at ease. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and personality, not just a checkbox. Drop-ins are never rushed; I stay, I play, I make sure your pet feels loved. House sitting means your home and your pet both get my full attention and care. Expect photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently in a flexible period between positions, so I have a lot of availability right now, including weekends and most weekdays. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with regular clients and their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your needs are recurring or ongoing! Since I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I’m coming to your pet in their own space, which I think is one of the best things for an animal’s comfort and routine. I treat every client’s home with complete respect and care. I’m experienced with following detailed instructions, administering medications, and handling pets of varying temperaments. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, their routine stays intact, and you get someone with a healthcare background making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
“Katrina was fantastic! I reached out on short notice and she was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. She took great care of both of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Really appreciate her stepping in and making everything so easy. I’d absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and my family brought home our first dog. Now, I’m a pet parent to an extremely fluffy and needy great pyr as well as an equally needy and chatty siamese cat. I am no stranger to a dog brush, vacuum, or giving medication to the most unwilling canine clients. I am a full time middle school band director, so this is something I am interested in making part of my free time and hobbies! I am extremely organized with time management, so I can fit most things into my schedule with appropriate notice. I have a fenced in yard, cat litter box, and impact dog crate (great pyr sized), so I can accommodate different needs! My pets live on the couch during the day watching the news, so yours can too!
About: Growing up my family always helped shelter and rehome lost pets of all ages and types, I love animals and understand the importance of comfort that a pet needs to be in a strangers care. I enjoy gig work while I take care of my own pack at home. I do work delivery jobs and enjoy a good drive to work I like for pet areas to be clean and tidy for easy access and care. I love long stimulating walks with the pups and some toy time or practicing basic obedience commands in my time with them for mental stimulation.
About: My husband and I have cared for and kept dogs our whole lives. I’m hoping to care for more through drop-in checks and dog walking. My dogs love to get out and walk/run. I have a natural behavior with new animals I meet. Really helps with dropping in to take your pup out while keeping them calm. My schedule is wide open on weekdays currently. I can also do weekends with notice before hand. I’ve been in a pinch before with my dogs and can adjust to keep you in the clear with yours. Our dogs are family. Enough said. They are cared for beyond measure. They’re privileges are greater than our human guests. The 2 dogs are provided with a safe dog friendly environment for a stress free day for us and them.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.
“I can’t say enough good words about Michele. We came home to happy and well taken care of cats . Besides following all instructions, Michele’s communication throughout the process was above and beyond. When she came over for our initial visit with our fur babies, she asked questions and was sincerely interested in their care and well being. During every visit we got photos of every cat and even a video. Upon our return home, the litter boxes were obviously taken care of as well as food and water. We will definitely ask Michele back and recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible , knowledgeable and caring sitter . Look no further !”

My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and playtime throughout the day.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Royse City
Super great experience and incredibly responsive\! I have a puppy and an older dog, and Heather was amazing with both of them, making sure each got the attention and care they needed\. As a single dad with two dogs and a job that requires me to travel, finding someone I genuinely trust with them is a huge deal\. Heather made the entire process easy and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away\. I’ll absolutely be using her again and couldn’t recommend her enough\!
We had a great experience with Kelly. She was very kind, punctual, and our two pups were immediately comfortable with her. She sent detailed updates during each drop-in visit, which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely rebook her in the future! Thank you Kelly!!
