“Victoria was great! Did everything we requested to the letter and was very responsive and flexible with our needs. Our dog Ginger liked her a lot!”

About: I have experience caring for animals through both my own pets and previous work involving animal care through pet sitting. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping an eye on pets while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and are cared for according to your instructions. I’m available for pet care visits frequently throughout the day. I can stay for a while during visits to feed and care for your pets, clean up after them, play with them, or simply spend time keeping them company. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else needed to keep your pet safe and secure.

“Kelsey took amazing care of my two dogs and was very communicative and friendly! She came by to meet them before the first visit and I immediately knew they were going to be in great hands. Highly recommend her to love on your fur babies!”

About: Hi! My name is Katia, I am new to the rover app:)caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for almost a decade. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 18, and now at 27, I have years of experience understanding the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every dog unique. I’m also a proud dog mom to Apollo, my German Shepherd who has been by my side since high school, and Sierra, my sweet mixed breed rescue. Rescuing Sierra has made me especially passionate about giving dogs a safe, patient, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care currently fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to dedicate a significant amount of time and attention to caring for my clients’ pets. This allows me to be flexible with drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and different schedules depending on each pet’s needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, especially when they are in their own home. Since my dogs do not do well around unfamiliar animals, I will provide care exclusively in my client’s home, which also allows your pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe.

About: ▪️I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family who make our lives infinitely brighter. When your dog is with me, they’ll be loved, pampered, and cared for as if they were my very own! ▪️I have extensive experience watching dogs for friends and family across all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need consistent routine to sweet senior dogs who require gentle care and extra patience. ▪️I’m comfortable handling dogs of all shapes and sizes—whether it's a tiny Chihuahua, a cheeky Scottish Terrier, a playful Boxer, or managing a pack of up to 5 large dogs at once! ▪️Feeding quirks, medication routines, or unique habits? Nothing is too strange— I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs to keep them comfortable and happy. ▪️Plus, with my super flexible schedule, I’m readily available for daily walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day play sessions whenever your busy calendar demands. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! ▪️Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life as an active remote worker. I start every morning with an early workout and love staying active throughout the day, which means your dog gets guaranteed, high-quality outdoor time before the summer heat sets in! ▪️Because I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible. Whether your dog needs a mid-day bathroom break, an afternoon walk to help me hit my step goal, or just a quiet companion by my desk while I work, I’m around to give them the continuous care and attention they need. ▪️When staying in or visiting your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s familiar routine so they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. ▪️I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, walk schedules, and bedtime routines down to the detail. Whether your pet loves high-energy fetch sessions, long neighborhood walks, or just snuggling on the couch, I give them my undivided attention. ▪️I double-check all doors, gates, and ensure all household hazards are out of reach, and keep emergency vet details on hand at all times. ▪️You’ll get detailed daily check-ins with clear photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. ▪️I treat your home with the utmost care and respect—keeping areas tidy, taking care of mail/plants if needed, and leaving your house just as clean as I found it.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for many years. I have helped watch dogs for my friends’ business around the holidays and busy seasons, as well. I have a large dog and a cat of my own, and I have had pets since I was a kid. I love dogs and cats, and I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to check in whenever needed. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to check on your pets whenever needed. My weekends are typically free, as well, which could allow for an occasional overnight visit. I can drop in to feed your pets, let them out, give them love, and walk them if needed. Occasionally, I may be available for overnight visits for older or more anxious pets.

About: Been an animal owner all my life. Love all four legged companions big or small, I love them all! Even exotics! You can trust me to care for your babies with all my love and compassion. I work 10am to 5pm daily. Most evenings im free and my off days are Sundays and Mondays. I’m free for overnights. I can also do check ins on a case by case basis. I’m pretty flexible. I own 1 cat. I have a fenced back yard. I’m older and live alone. I live walking distance to a park in the meadows

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been a huge animal lover. I grew up with Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable around large dogs and understand the care, patience, and attention that comes with bigger breeds. Now I have a long-haired miniature dachshund of my own, so I also have plenty of experience with smaller dogs and all of the personality that can come with them! Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different every pet can be. I’m very patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or just lots of cuddles and attention. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll always treat them the way I would want someone to treat my own dog and keep you updated while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to make pet care a regular part of my day. I’m able to plan walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around each pet’s normal routine. I really enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like just another task on my schedule. I’m also happy to work with owners to keep things as consistent and familiar as possible while they’re away! I’m very mindful of things like doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications, and any specific routines or house rules you have in place. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can feel reassured knowing your pet is being well cared for.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistent training, as well as senior pets who require gentle handling, medication, and extra patience. I pride myself on reading each animal’s body language, building trust quickly, and tailoring my care to their unique needs—whether that’s reinforcing good habits, providing enrichment, or offering calm companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my college routine—I plan my class schedule and study time around feeding, walks, and play so pets always get reliable, focused attention. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with plenty of play, walks, and snuggles. In my clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely—feeding, exercising, and giving attention just like they would—so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve taken care of every animal imaginable. I am good with all animals, and am comfortable enough in my skills to ensure I can be your favorite pet-sitter! I am available pretty much all the time. I have school on Tuesdays, but that’s it. I am good for overnight pet sitting, potty breaks during the day, walking, and anything else you can imagine! I will ensure your pets are walked, fed, watered, bathed (if needed)! They will always be entertained, as I have a plethora of toys that are waiting to be played with and lots of energy to run around!

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! My husband is off (Fri. - Sun.) so he helps me on weekends which are my busiest. We’re a team! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Claire Reitan and I am a college student here in Lubbock. I have been dog/cat sitting for some time now back in my home town, College Station, and now Lubbock. I am an animal lover and would love to be able to watch yall's furry friends if out of town, a little check-in on them while at work, or a little date-night! If you need someone to spoil your pets while you're gone - I'm your person! I am currently working part time but I am capable of taking care of your furry friends anytime I need to do so! I am very excited for this opportunity! In my clients home I will feed and make sure their pets of plenty of water as well. I will definitely play ball with them for a bit and maybe a walk as well! I will take the clients pet outside to go potty and make sure no messes are made as well.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all personalities and needs. In addition to household pets, I’ve also raised cattle and goats through FFA, which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with animals that require daily care and attention. This experience has taught me how to stay consistent, follow instructions closely, and notice small changes in animal behavior or health. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” animals, I genuinely care for them and understand how to handle both calm and more challenging situations. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’m used to helping with feeding, cleaning, and general care for pets at home, and I also make time for walking, playing, and checking in on their needs regularly. I attend school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and I sometimes have a few responsibilities after school, but I’m pretty flexible and good at managing my time. Through FFA, I previously raised cattle and goats, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to stick to a care routine and pay attention to animals’ needs. School will be ending soon, so I will be even more available and flexible during the summer, which will allow me to take on more pet sitting opportunities and give pets more consistent care and attention. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also spend time with the pets to give them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to keep their space clean, safe, and respected, and I check in on them consistently so they feel cared for and not alone. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

“Thank you for walking my girl, Sydney!”
