“Elizabeth was a great sitter! Elizabeth definitely has a natural way with pets because my shy cat, Hazel, warmed up to her so quickly. Elizabeth was always on time, communicative, respectful, and so kind. I loved the pictures and detailed summaries from her visits and I can tell Hazel had a great time. It gave me great peace of mind that Elizabeth was checking in and playing with Hazel while I was out of town. I’ll definitely request Elizabeth again!”


“Karina took great care of my dog Milo while I was out of town. Definitely using her again!”


About: I am a pet lover with four dogs in my own household. I enjoy the flexibility of being self-employed as an online reseller, which allows me to take care of others' pets while they travel. I know how important it is to know your fur babies are happy and safe while you are on your own adventures. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I can care for senior pets, as well as young kittens and puppies. I can work with most feeding, potty and play schedules. Before we book, I will suggest a meet and greet to make sure your pets and I are a good fit and that you are comfortable with me as well. I'm currently not able to take dogs on walks due to some knee and back issues, but I will play with them in the yard and house to ensure they get out some energy. I work from home and have flexibility day and night, weekdays and weekends. Rest assured that your pets will get the love and attention they need. I know that animals are happiest when in their own homes and will work within their familiar routines so they are happy and secure while you are away.

“Absolutely phenomenal work! I highly would reccommend Tristan. This was my first time using Rover. Tristan made me feel my cat was always secure and safe. Communication was always on point. Tristan is worth using! I will definitely use this petsitter again for future trips because I know my cat is in safe hands.”


“Very attentive! Was great with my dog. Highly recommend!”


“Great as always!”


“Jordan was communicative, prompt, and great with Niles! She went above and beyond following our requests for food, water, litter and more. She even brought in packages for us! Perfect experience.”


About: Have experience with small, medium and large dogs for over the past 5 years. I am pretty flexible and will tend to service your needs. I am currently getting my doctorates for physical therapy, majority of my schooling is online, which makes it possible for me to be more available and if acceptable I can even do my schooling at the clients house which gives me more time to bond with their babies; except for specific times. however there will be a period where I am unavailable, however I will make that known I will follow any rules that are set for me to care for your dogs and home if needed, I will also be very selective and protective of who is also allowed around your dog.

About: I’ve always loved animals—I grew up with pets, spent two years volunteering at the Denton animal shelter, and now have my own pets who mean the world to me! My husband and I care for two fur babies and are looking to help others with a busy schedule! Friday-Monday we are here for you! Safety is a priority, keeping animals within their comfort zones is important. I support supervised curiosity and fun while respecting the clients normal routine of walking regiments, crate training, etc.

About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,

“Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our geriatric herd. She persevered in gaining our old dog Bella’s trust. She gave the cats and dog their daily medications along with lots of affection. We had peace of mind for a necessary family visit and that is priceless!”
