“Absolutely the best. Our 3 pups got the luxury of having Heather as there walker for nearly three weeks during the round top antique show and as a vendor we couldn’t have had a better place of mind then having who we had each day for the kiddos.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!
“Brittany is kind, responsive, clear, thorough, thoughtful, communicative, and very appreciated in our household! She’s walked my dog 15+ times & we will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

About: I've been taking dogs for jogs since I was about 7 years old. By 12, I was THE go-to pet sitter in my mom's work circle, often doing week long stints during summers. Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I am currently working part time, so have plenty of hours in the day in which I can care for your pet. I have both early morning and afternoon-evening availability, as well as weekends. Whatever your needs, I'm sure we'd be able to come up with a pland that suits you and your fur-babies. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.
About: I have both personal and professional experience with various pets, including cats, dogs, chickens, and more. I gained this experience from owning my own pets and working at a veterinary office and animal boarding facility. I currently work part time but if enough progress is made I would like to focus more on this than my current job, and am available on weekends. I'm sorry, but I cannot take care of your pets in my home as my own pet is not friendly and I have roommates to consider. However, I can visit and stay at your home for as long as you need me to. Rest assured that I will ensure your pet's comfort at all times.
“Barbara has been on time every day and so prompt with her responses! My goldendoodle loves her already. She really takes the time to make sure that my dog gets the most out of her walks plus some playtime with her toys. I didn’t want to bother Barbara with sending pictures every day but she does it anyway and it’s so lovely! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and trustworthy sitter :)”

About: I’ve worked previously in the animal rescue field. I have experience with medication schedules, administration, grooming, nail trimming, and specialized diet/food schedules. I’ve also cared for many dogs after major surgeries. I’ve also been pet sitting since my early teens and would love to meet your pets! I work 100% remotely with a fully flexible schedule and boss! As long as my laptop connects to the internet, I can be wherever I want. I live on a 1.5 acre farm, which is currently unfenced. My dogs are off leash trained, fully vetted, and on all preventative medications they require. If you are uncomfortable with allowing your dog off leash on my property, I have leashes, moveable stake leashes, and access to plenty of water sources outside.
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years in the past wether it be for family and friends or for anyone who needed assistance! I spent years training my dogs and am very versatile when it comes to breeds. I spent two summers interning with veterinarians and learning as much about dogs and cats as I could! I also have had senior care experience in the past and am very well educated when it comes to dog care! I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule! I have many breaks between classes and can provide sufficient care to any dogs! I am able to follow any rules/ guidelines I am provided with upon hiring me! I can easily create dogs, I know proper dog walking safety, I am very good at staying consistent with feeding schedules if needed and most of all I can take good care of a dog by making sure they get plenty of exercise and interactions!

About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house. The house is mostly empty, it’s just me and my husband. I have also sat for cats, turtles, lizards, goats horses and all types of pasture animals. Big or small, I do it all. I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.
About: I grew up breeding labrador retriever's, so i’m very skilled with the maintenance and patience it takes to raise and train puppies and adult dogs. I am working Monday-Friday with a hour lunch break in College Station and am free to care for your pet before/after work and on weekends! With the supplies, space, and time offered at your home, I will ensure that your pet is safe and having a blast in my care!

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.

“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”
About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and loved ones, including long stays, dog walks and drop in visits. I also have two cats of my own. As a pet owner myself, I am very attentive to their needs. I care about keeping them happy, healthy, and stimulated. My routine tends to cater around theirs in many ways I have an apartment with a patio so I’ve made it extremely cat friendly for their safety. I also have lots of toys for stimulation since they are in door cats and cat furniture for them to rest on. For clients homes’ I’ll take cues from my surrounds and from what they tell me during our debriefing
About: I have cared for animals of all sizes and kinds my whole life. I have been dog/cat/horse sitting for many years and am comfortable taking care of all animals. I grew up on a farm taking care of rescue horses, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I currently have two percious dogs, Shelley and Watson. Both are rescues and my best friends. My favorite activity is playing with them in our yard and going on road trips together. I am available to walk and play with your pets as well as house sit if needed. I will check on your pet regularly and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I am a school teacher so my summer schedule is very flexible. Please consider me for all your pet needs!

About: What to say... I LOVE dogs/animals. I can't remember not having a dog as a pet and as an adult have always had at least one Scottie (Briar was my third Scottie). I have had the opportunity to have multiple animals as "family members" in my household for years. Now retired, I find myself with more time on my hands. In addition, a few years back my Cairn Terrier (Ferris) passed away - Briar became lonely, so we used Rover to find a few new playmates on occasion; he loved to play. The yard is a park like setting completely fenced in an awesome neighborhood with Landstrom Park just up the road which is a great place to walk your pets. I have the time, experience, passion and patience to care, putting an owner's mind at ease that "All is Well" with their furry family members. Since this description about me, Briar passed away; he was 14. March 16, 2005 - March 26, 2019. The place is now called Camp Briar in his honor. I work from home. So I am able to provide care for your fur babies in a fairly constant manner. Pets are never left unattended. Care is constant and consistent. I have a fenced-in yard that they have constant access to. They get lots of playtime and downtime when needed.
About: I have not been active on Rover for a couple years in order to dedicate all of my time to college and preparing for law school, but as that chapter is coming to a close, I am back! Ever since I was 10 years old, I’ve taken care of 2 dogs on my own, because both my parents had full-time jobs. When my senior dog was diagnosed with fatal cancer, I was her main caretaker up until her last minute. You can count on me to take special care of your senior pets just as well as I did my own. Furthermore, I recently got my first puppy independently and raised her completely on my own. That being said, raising a puppy (especially a GSD) is not for the faint of heart, therefore I feel very experienced with caretaking and dog ownership. I’m young, full of energy, and responsible so I would love to share this with your high-energy pets too! I can adhere to both sides of the spectrum, old and slow or young and spunky. Your pets are in good hands with me! I provide my GSD, Zoey, with daily exercise and stimulation. At the very least, Zoey gets 2 walks per day, each of which are 30 mins to 1 hour. I also take Zoey with me everywhere possible (picking up groceries, studying at a coffee shop, exploring nature trails, etc). Other than taking care of Zoey’s needs, if my profile is active, I am extremely flexible with scheduling! I will adhere to the owners instructions and preferences precisely. I know how hard it is to trust someone else to take care of your furry best friend as well as you would yourself, but I promise to do exactly as asked and more! I have a deep passion for animals and would want a sitter to treat my pets as well I would, or better. You’re pets are in great hands with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, my parents have always had a lot of dogs. I always cared for them, my parents taught me how and they didn’t help after that. I always watched my parents friends dogs when they went out of town as well. I’m home full time, I’m a stay at home mom. I’m very flexible and open availability. I’m trying to make a some more money for my household. I have a fenced in backyard for your pet to play in while being supervised as well. I also live in a duplex in town.
