“Amanda did an amazing job with taking care of my fur babies. She was so kind and attentive while she was with them, she gave us updates and photos to let us know they were okay.”


About: My name is Arely Vazquez. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. ARELYV11850, https://www.rover.com/sit/arelyv11850 I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Daycare drop off and pickup hours are between 7 am and 7 pm. Any time after 7 pm would need to be booked as boarding and pickup for the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. I have a fenced yard plenty of room for your dog to roam around including spacious clean indoor room with plenty of dog enrichment activities. As well as a great neighborhood to take your dog for nice long walks.

About: I've had pets all my life. My first pet was at about 5 years old and I have a distinct memory of when I found out I had my first puppy. I've adopted and taken in strays all my life, tended to their needs and I can remember almost every single one's name. I have handled medicine, treatment and anything that comes with owning a pet from dogs, cats to guinea pigs and hamsters. I have experienced taking care of puppies and adult dogs as well, indoors and outdoors. I have experience with taking care of other's pets and pets tend to be pretty welcoming with me usually. I have the love and patience for any kind of animal or pet that needs it. I'm currently working part time and working on a couple of other business ventures so I have fair flexibility. I have weekends free for the most part. I have kids but they would be more than willing to help if it can benefit, but they are also independent enough to stay home while I work. I can only care for small/medium pets as home as I am limited to space and have other pets at home as well. Coming to a home or taking a pet out for a walk or to the dog park works. I spend a lot of time at parks and outdoors and usually try to find activities in the area. I can work with going to the pet owner's home and staying there if necessary.

“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: I’ve dealt with pets in the past with taking care of them and making sure they stay in shape. I will make sure your pet will never get lost and whatever special needs you have please let me know. I offer many services for you pet to be comfortable and well fed. I am usually up during the day and I am always home. If need be I have a vehicle to get to and from places. If need be I will take your pet to the park and make sure he or she gets the love and attention your pet deserves. I love Dogs and I would love to get to know your dog. I promise to be truthful and follow instructions for the day.

“IF I COULD GIVE HARLEY 10000 STARS I WOULD! We lost our other furbaby a few months ago and Reggie has been so lonely ever since so when i have to leave him i am a wreck. WHEW, I felt soooooo much peace with harley, she took such good care of my baby the five days we were gone and from the pics my boy LOVES her?. (I think he wanted to see harley walk in instead of us when we got back lol) The pictures and messages eased my mind and I’m just so thankful. He was well taken care of. I will absolutely book harley again! Harley- you’re a gift!! ?”

About: I have one dog myself and a part-time cat. I love pets and will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I also have experience training 3 puppies in the past as well. I work from home, so I can attend to your fur babies most of the time throughout the day. I also enjoy going for walks on a daily basis. I have a fenced in yard with a lot of running space. I also have one dog who loves other pets, to keep them company.

“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!

“We are absolutely thrilled with our experience! Nicole took amazing care of our two cats while we were away in Europe for a couple of weeks. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is one of the nicest people and genuinely loves animals. Nicole followed our directions perfectly and went above and beyond by providing extra care, including their favorite brushing sessions.
