“Anyssa was responsive and genuinely caring! She was exceptionally punctual, and communicated with us in advance regarding our dogs' needs, personalities, and care instructions. They were well cared for in our absence and we're so glad yo have net her because we are so picky about who we leave our fur babies with. We will call on her again when the need arises for sure! ❤️”


“Jena is super sweet & trustworthy. My girls were as stress free as can be expected while they was traveling. They were loved on and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely use Jena again. Her daily check ins were always on point and well detailed with pictures which made my time away way easier ♥️”


About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I can remember, and have raised many from birth throughout their life. I have also trained several dogs using positive reinforcement techniques. I am very passionate about pet care and will treat your dog like I treat my own, as part of my family. Rover is my work! My partner works from home so my full attention is with the dogs 24/7. Any time you need it, I’m available. We have a completely dog safe environment inside and out. We have a fenced backyard with kiddie pools for the pups. Our lab is mild mannered and friendly. She enjoys the company of other dogs. We do not have any crates, but can have our dog separated in her room if needed. Crates are welcome if your dog is more comfortable for sleep or relaxation time.

“Where do I begin? Nancy was amazing!! She took care of my Ellie as if she were her own and then some!! She communicated thoroughly about each visit, and she always went the extra mile! Nancy will be my first choice from now on. I can’t thank her enough for giving me peace of mind while I was away! Super friendly, and extremely caring about all animals ? Thank you so much Nancy!! ? Ellie will miss your visits!!”


“Sanchita was great. She followed all the instructions for all 3 of our dogs. She made sure she communicated to us and was on time for all of her drop in visits. The one thing I noticed was when she met our dogs, she didn’t react to them jumping and being excited, which made them relax faster than normally. Will definitely book her again.”

About: Hello my name is Amanda :) I am from Harlingen and currently attending UTRGV to major in Marine Biology. Me and my family have a six year old chihuahua named Soda who is super loved!! I decided to get Rover because I would like to earn some money to help with my school expenses & other things. I am currently 26 yrs old. I am a friendly and an easy going person. I would love and enjoy the opportunity to take care of your little fur friends and will do my absolute best of taking care of them. I love dogs and look forward to having fun with them! For dog walking & dog visit services, I am available early mornings to mid afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. I am excited to care of your pups! My dog Soda is an indoor dog but he really loves playing outside. When he wants to go outside, I walk him on his leash and playfully throw his ball for him to run, and take him to do his doggy business.

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs over 10 years and have experience with every dog breed and dog size. Your dog will be in the best of hands as I have experience in first aid and utmost safety should any emergencies arise. I have a fenced yard area and a doggy pool in case your pup likes to splash. I love doing photo shoots and your pet will also participate in arts and crafts so that they can bring their artwork home to you and have a nice memory of their stay. I have experience caring for pups of all ages from puppy to seniors, including special needs dogs. I am a stay at home mom of one teenager so your pet will have my complete attention and I will treat them as my own. I have a fenced yard so your pup can stretch their paws and run around freely, weather permitting. I will gladly take them out for a walk if you prefer. It is safe where I live and there is plenty of sidewalks where we can take a safe walk. Your pet is welcome to freely roam my home. I have doggy beds, toys, and bowls for them. If you prefer they sleep in a kennel you’re welcome to bring it along. I also have indoor and outdoor cameras.

“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”


About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with pets in all stages of life—from playful puppies to senior dogs. I’ve successfully helped train family and friends’ dogs to go potty outside, and I take pride in being attentive, patient, and interactive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s training, playtime, or just providing comfort, I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their individual needs. I work mornings as a barista and usually finish by 3 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. This flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime throughout the rest of the day and even on weekends. In my home, your pup will have a safe, fenced yard to play in and will be alongside my friendly boxer—unless they need their own space, which I can easily provide. I stay with your pet the entire time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also experienced with dogs who need extra attention, whether it’s giving medication or cleaning up after accidents. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!
