Elle did an amazing job checking in on my dogs Bruno and Boo and taking them for a walk while I was out of town for work. She took great care of them and I would book her again to take care of them any time!

I recently had the pleasure of having Mica take care of my dogs, From the start, Mica was professional, kind, and attentive to all of my dogs needs. It was evident that Mica has a genuine love for dogs and is very knowledgeable about their care. My dogs seemed to bond quickly with her and I could tell she was in great hands. I highly recommend Mica to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Mica, for providing such excellent care!

About: With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring a level of expertise to pet care that's hard to find. My entire life has been devoted to the well-being of animals—from dogs and cats to horses, goats, chickens, and reptiles. This isn't just a side gig for me; it's a continuation of my professional career. When it comes to dogs, I understand their unique needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need gentle care. I can handle any personality with confidence, providing the right amount of physical and mental stimulation. For cats, my care is truly specialized. As a Cat Friendly Certified professional, I'm uniquely skilled in creating a stress-free environment for your feline companion, respecting their space and understanding their unique communication. My skills in administering medications, managing special diets, and recognizing potential health issues mean you can have total peace of mind. You're not just hiring a pet sitter; you're getting a dedicated professional who understands how to keep your beloved family member safe, happy, and healthy. I work as a vet tech on a set, three-day schedule. This predictability is a huge benefit, as it allows me to block out my other four days specifically for my pet-sitting clients. My routine is carefully planned around your pet's needs. I offer both in-home care and boarding to best fit your pet's needs. In Your Home: My goal is to maintain your pet's routine and comfort in their familiar environment. I work closely with you to understand your pet's specific needs, from feeding schedules to walk routes. I am highly vigilant about home security and your pet's safety, ensuring doors are locked and all protocols are followed precisely. In My Home: My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming space with a fully fenced yard. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family. I am dedicated to providing a secure and fun environment with plenty of supervised playtime and attention.

About: I've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.

George walked my dog Bella for a couple of weeks as I recovered from surgery. I am so thankful to have found someone so kind and punctual to help care for her! Most importantly, I felt that he genuinely cared about my pup. I would recommend him to anyone, and we look forward to using George's services again in the future!

About: Since I was young I have LOVED dogs- my sister once said I started asking for a dog as soon as I learned to speak. I pet sat frequently when I was younger to fill that desire to be around animals. Finally, I got a dog, and after an amazing 15 years with her I’m back looking to care for other people’s pets as my own while they’re away. I have the patience and care needed to comfort animals in an unfamiliar situation while their family is out. I love to take photos of animals I’m watching so you know they’re happy and healthy and having as good of a time as you are! UPDATED INFORMATION: After a couple of years of watching Rovers, I fell in love with a little pup at the SPCA and now have a dog of our own in the house! He is incredibly friendly, fixed, and fully vaccinated. His SPCA paperwork described him as “the friendliest little boy,” and it is so true!! I currently work from home, so any boarding at our home will be round the clock attention for your pet! Otherwise, I can easily travel mid-day for potty breaks and walks. Your animal would have free range of our home, or we would be happy to crate them if provided with their own crate (your preference). We have a small yard for potty breaks, and we also back up to a walking trail that’s perfect for mid-day walks!! Since I work from home I’m available to take them out as often as needed and am free for mid-day walks with them as well.

If you have any questions at all regarding the care needed for your furry friends, please feel free to message me and we can work together to plan a stay! I can not wait to help out you and your family in whatever ways that I can with your pet sitting needs! Why i love pet sitting I have grown up in a pet loving home since I was in diapers. I have never lived in a home without at least one pet in it. We have had all sorts of pets from dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, fish, birds, goats, donkeys and just about everything in between! I have experience with a variety of animals (including special needs animals) and can assure you that your sweet pet will be spoiled and loved on endlessly! Or at least until you get home :) My experience administering medication I am fine with administering medication by mouth, and I also have experience giving injections. I was previously an owner of a diabetic dog who required daily insulin injections. Currently I help my family care for 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 goats and a donkey and I am excited to help other families like my own to care for their pets as well! With lots of love, care, attention and, of course, lots and lots of pets! I am always sure to care for your pets in whatever ways you and your furry friend may need!

About: My journey with animals started when I was a kid; I remember my very first dog. He was a lab mix, and his name was Dopey. He was indeed dopey, and I loved him more for it. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to always be around animals. My professional career began in 2019 as a bather at a common Petstore. I worked there for a few months before deciding I wanted a more personal environment to care for the animals and get quality time with them, so I left corporate to work for mom and pop grooming salons, daycares and boarding facilities. To gain more knowledge to help care for the animals, I attended Animal Behavior College in Vet Assistance and obtained my Animal CPR certification. With that in hand, I decided to work in a vet office to help further educatemyself for the animals. While working at a Vet Office, I became a Lead Bather and quickly gravitated toward special needs, aggressive and elderly pups. I currently work at a mom and pop grooming Salon in Allen, Tx. I'm working part-time at a grooming salon, so I have plenty of availability to work with. I have early morning availability for walks and home visits and availability after 3:30pm. I have 2 furniture kennels and a pop up kennel. I have multiple running water fountains through my home. I have two dogs of my own, who are walked 4 to 5 times a day. We tend to do short walks in grass during the heated afternoons.

I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, giving plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I keep their space clean, safe, and stress-free, just like home.

Cristina has come to the rescue for me again! This week with my schedule was very hectic, she fit Lily in for afternoon walks, which is truly a huge help during my work day. She is always on time, Lily is ecstatic to see her when she pulls in (very good sign), and when she brings Lily home she gives me an update. I cannot recommend Cristina enough, she is incredibly reliable!

About: Hi, I’m Alexis, a dog lover and proud parent to Luka, my playful Corgi!

I’ll treat your furry family member like my own! I’m available Sundays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays after 4 p.m. for drop-ins, house sitting, or late-night walks. Whether it’s a quick visit, overnight care, or a trip to the park, I’m here to keep your pup happy and cared for! I’m currently bartending at the Hilton in Rockwall I’m in a data science bootcamp so this is something I’m doing for extra money to help pay for this bootcamp✨ I do like to give animals space to walk freely in the home. But of course if there’s rule “not on couch” that will be respected, but my time will make sure your animals are as comfortable as possible, fed, and Happy 😃 once it’s time to go then whatever is instructed to do I will do.

About: I’ve taken care of numerous friends and family members pets (who are members of the family in my opinion) for many years now. This has included drop ins and over night stays. I have always viewed pets as like my children! Not only is this a great side hustle for me, but I have so much fun hanging out with animals. I currently work from home and have availability open throughout the week! My schedule is extremely flexible as long as there is a wifi connection. I follow instructions to the letter. I realize that not only am I caring for your pet but also potentially your home and space and as long as instructions are clear I will take it upon myself to provide the best care to your pet and home.

About: I have been caring for my own dogs and close family and friends pets for about 10 years now. I have always had a dog, since I can remember and I have always loved animals. I take my dog outside to use the restroom once every hour, more if he shows signs of needing to use the restroom. I do exercise daily, so if your pet needs that I can provkde it. I know what each breed of dogs needs as far as care, so if you have medicine that needs to be administered during care I can do that too. I’m very outgoing and flexible with my schedule. I provide a lot of after hours and weekend care. That’s when I am most available to spend the most quality time I work from home so I have a lot of free time during the day to play, go for walks and even some grooming if needed. I have a fenced apartment complex that has areas for dogs to use the restroom and play, there are many doggy bag stands around and a big open field right across the street.

When you have 4 dogs finding someone who is up for the job can be hard. Maddy took the job right away and watched our 4 pups over a long weekend. She did an amazing job and we 100 percent recommend her. All the pups loved her (even our pain in the butt chiweinie) lol She did an overnight stay for several nights and also drop in visits. We are so thankful to have found her! She is reliable, trustworthy and our pups just love her!

We were so lucky to have found Nick Eldridge. He took such wonderful care of our dog, Yushie while we were away. We were initially nervous about leaving him, but Nick provided regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease. Yushie seemed so happy and relaxed when we returned, and it was clear that he had been well cared for. We highly recommend Nick and will definitely be using his services again! If you need a walker or sitter for your fur baby, Nick is the best!

About: I treat every pet like family—reliable, patient, and experienced with all breeds. I prioritize safety, comfort, and genuine love in every visit. You can count on me! Pet care is a natural part of my routine—I plan my days around walks, feedings, and playtime to ensure pets feel cared for and comfortable. Currently trying to move to full time pet care! I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, giving plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I keep their space clean, safe, and stress-free, just like home.

Cristina has come to the rescue for me again! This week with my schedule was very hectic, she fit Lily in for afternoon walks, which is truly a huge help during my work day. She is always on time, Lily is ecstatic to see her when she pulls in (very good sign), and when she brings Lily home she gives me an update. I cannot recommend Cristina enough, she is incredibly reliable!

Alyssa sent a great summary of Wilson's walk. She took him on a very long walk so he was nice and tired when I got home!

About: Hi, I’m Alexis, a dog lover and proud parent to Luka, my playful Corgi! I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pup, and I’m here to provide reliable, loving care—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or house-sitting. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own! I’m available Sundays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays after 4 p.m. for drop-ins, house sitting, or late-night walks. Whether it’s a quick visit, overnight care, or a trip to the park, I’m here to keep your pup happy and cared for! I’m currently bartending at the Hilton in Rockwall I’m in a data science bootcamp so this is something I’m doing for extra money to help pay for this bootcamp✨ I do like to give animals space to walk freely in the home. But of course if there’s rule “not on couch” that will be respected, but my time will make sure your animals are as comfortable as possible, fed, and Happy 😃 once it’s time to go then whatever is instructed to do I will do.

Alex has watched our 110lb Great Pyrenees, Shine, many times. Most recently she took care of Shine for an entire week while we were on vacation and Alex was perfect. Alex and Shine were perfect together and all went so very well. I would trust our child with Alex any time and for any length of time. She has a heart as big as the dog she is watching. Alex took care of Shines every need as well as caring for the 2 cats. Brilliant!

About: I have been caring for my own dogs and close family and friends pets for about 10 years now. I have always had a dog, since I can remember and I have always loved animals. I take my dog outside to use the restroom once every hour, more if he shows signs of needing to use the restroom. I do exercise daily, so if your pet needs that I can provkde it. I know what each breed of dogs needs as far as care, so if you have medicine that needs to be administered during care I can do that too. I’m very outgoing and flexible with my schedule. I provide a lot of after hours and weekend care. That’s when I am most available to spend the most quality time I work from home so I have a lot of free time during the day to play, go for walks and even some grooming if needed. I have a fenced apartment complex that has areas for dogs to use the restroom and play, there are many doggy bag stands around and a big open field right across the street.

About: I been servicing the Rowlett/Garland/Rockwall area for 5 years offering dog training, grooming, boarding, training, and drop in services as a business owner. I have 15 years of experience with therapeutic horseback riding, cat care and dog care. I am excited to branch out to rover! Looking forward to our meet and greet! I’m a dedicated and compassionate animal lover with hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and engaged whether I’m dropping in for a quick potty break or keeping them company with play and cuddles. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds, including energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup thrives on high energy games like fetch or prefers quiet time and gentle pats, I tailor every visit to what makes them happiest. I’m also attentive to behavior cues, safety in the home, and routines that help your dog feel at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates with photos and notes so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I genuinely love forming bonds with each dog I meet. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and being part of their care team! I am flexible and have open availability if scheduled in advance. It is apart of my daily work routine. Schedule a meet and greet to discuss booking options. CPR certified as well as first aid knowledge. Safety is an extremely important aspect of pet care that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I will ensure that all doors are locked, lights left on if needed, and an entire checklist that you provide for me to complete before exiting your home is accomplished.

Alyssa is very patient and sweet with my dogs even though he pulls on the leash. They encountered a dog off leash on their walk and she handled the situation well.
