“Tim is timely and when he arrives he quickly leashes and starts walks. The dogs are excited to see him and they are eager to head out the door. They do the loop in the neighborhood and each dog gets one on one for the walk”

“Andria has been a real help to me this past week with all the weather uncertainty. She is responsible about communicating….. and on time when she is committed to a certain date and time. I think her qualifications are more than adequate for the responsibility she carries in walking our precious pets.”


“Genniver surpassed my expectations. I believe I asked more than the average client, and she gladly went above and beyond to give the care my dogs needed during a busy period in my schedule. Thank you, Genn, for your kindness and dedication!”

About: I'm a lifelong cat and dog owner, and love meeting new furry friends! As a sitter, my goal is to keep your pets as safe and comfortable as possible. I have experience with elderly and special needs dogs, as well as puppies and high energy dogs. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets get playtime and exercise. I’m great with shy cats and anxious pups. I'm a freelance writer, which means I am able to make my own schedule! My unique schedule allows me to work with pets and their owners' time needs. I’m currently saving up for a graduate course and love to do theatre in my spare time. I am not currently offering in home stays at my home but I’ll look after your pets as though they were my own. I always check for hazards before I leave, including trash, open doors etc. During inclement weather, I make sure pets are well-taken care of and calm.

“Brittney is punctual, flexible, and amazing with my animals. I appreciate her so much and am grateful for her help when I’m at work. I totally trust her with my fuzzy friends and in my home. Thanks, Brittney!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and making sure they have the best life possible. I have fully trained my own dog who’s potty trained, leash trained, and doesn’t require a crate. I’m very good with all dogs of every size! I work from home and make my own schedule so i can always be home for your pets. I’m able to walk them throughout the day and let the play outside fully supervised. I’m also able to promise they are constantly getting my full attention! I have a big grass back yard that’s fully fenced and one dog of my own to keep your fur baby company. I also make sure that they always have my attention and are getting all the pets they want.
About: I have raised litters of puppies, worked with problem cases at shelters, trained a service dog, and cared for senior pups with complex health needs. For the first time ever, I am now a cat lady and I love it just as much. Add in some experience with exotics too for good measure! I've dealt with medical emergencies and am knowledgeable and a quick thinker. I work flexible hours from home so I am available anytime. Like anyone, I avoid driving long distance during rush hour traffic, but really anytime is fair game! In your home, I am responsible and respectful. I pay close attention to detail, and make sure instructions are followed exactly. Your pet deserves the love and care you would give them yourself! You also deserve to feel confident that your pet and home are receiving excellent care, so communication is a top priority. My home is spacious, free of carpet, quiet and stress free. I have a small fenced in yard and live on a small cul de sac in a safe neighborhood. One cat and one responsible kiddo share the space, but kitty can have his own private quarters. Pets must be a good personality match for boarding, but we're pretty chill around here!
“Thanks for always being available to help us out even on short notice! Will is great with our pup. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Rover! All the best Will.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care. I focus on routine, safety, and positive reinforcement, and I’m comfortable with basic training, medication schedules, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every pet like family, not just a job. 🐶🐾 Pet care is a daily part of my routine. I plan my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets reliable, attentive care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep spaces clean and pet-proofed, and ensure constant supervision. I respect household rules, provide calm and positive care, secure doors and gates, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. Building trust with both pets and owners is always my top priority. 🐾
About: I have always enjoyed pet sitting ever since I was a kid. I adore animals so much and always want to make sure they are ok. I grew up with animals and I know how important it is for them to have a good and safe environment to live in. I’m working part time so I have plenty of extra time to care for animals I adore. ❤️ I’ll be doing something I really enjoy. I always make sure my cat has a clean litter box, food and fresh water all the time. I always make time to play with her through out the day and give her love and cuddles. I always take her to the vet for her 6 month check up’s to make sure she’s healthy.
About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong passion for animal care. Having grown up caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and other small animals, I am confident and comfortable with pets of all kinds. I currently have several animals of my own, including high-energy dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, patience, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I will treat them as if they were my own. In addition to personal experience, I actively foster animals and volunteer at adoption events to help pets find safe, loving homes. This has given me experience working with animals of different temperaments, including shy, energetic, and special-needs pets. I am attentive to behavior cues and committed to providing a safe, stress-free environment. As a full-time student, I am highly organized and accustomed to maintaining a structured schedule. I value reliability, communication, and consistency, and I am more than happy to accommodate specific routines, dietary needs, medication schedules, or any special requests. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their animals feel comfortable, cared for, and loved in their absence.
Shady Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andria was a life saver! I was out of town and my husband‘s back issues prevented him from taking Poppy on her regular walks. Andria came to the rescue. She was even able to come a little earlier than we booked to avoid the heat. We highly recommend, and will not hesitate to call Andria again!

Julie is awesome! We had a last minute trip to San Antonio for an event that would have us gone for most of the day. We used Julie to take our dogs out for a walk midway through. She did a quick meet and greet with our two French bulldogs prior. She handled our very energetic 10-month old puppies very well for their walk, spent a little play time with them, and even sent pictures to update. Highly recommend her!
