About: I have 18 years of experience taking care of pets including large and small dogs, puppy and senior dogs, birds, cats and fish. I currently take care of 2 dogs in my family, one large and one small, and the large one has special needs. I have experience administering oral medication and subcutaneous injections, and have had many years of reading domestic animal behavior . I have treated dogs and cats abroad at a shelter in Thailand so I have some experience with shy and nervous animals as well. During my visits, I like to focus on mental enrichment and some fun energetic play time! I’m available for In House Sitting (long term and short term), and available generally 9am-6pm each day, depending on your pups needs. I am always willing to be flexible and will try to find the best time that fits your needs! I make sure that your pet’s needs are met while giving them some love and attention while you are away! Walks are my favorite, but I also enjoy chilling on a couch snuggling and watching a show. I will also clean up if any messes are made (as a pet parent I know this all too well).

I will care for your home and pet to the level that I expect for someone caring for my dog Rosie or my home. If needed, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood with my fiancé and my sweet and playful 7 year old dog Rosie.
About: I've been around dogs all of my life, including my own and helping out neighbors. I've helped watch dogs from as small as a chihuahua up to a big lab. I am currently studying for my CPA and have a very flexible schedule. I can work around most odd times that would be inconvenient for most people. I can follow whatever routine is normal for your dog whether that means just letting them out in the yard, walking them, letting the dog roam free in the house, or crating them.
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. I am currently a loving owner to Bubba, a large mixed breed dog. I have lived with different cats over the years and grew up with a hound mix named Jack. I am careful to go on safe but effective walks to provide proper exercise and an opportunity for your furry friend to receive the attention and care they deserve. Please reach out if you are in need of a reliable and dependable sitter/walker! I’m available to walk your furry family member in the mornings and evenings or anytime on the weekends. I will work to fit your scheduling needs to the best of my availability. I can care for pets at the home of the client. I will provide the recommended nourishment and exercise based on their specific needs. I will happily do this for any range of age in dogs or cats.
About: I've taken care of my family pets since I was 10 and continue to care for a beautiful and chatty cat. I strive to care for your pet with just as much love and attention as you would give your fur baby. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility for time away and breaks when needed. I can be available most times during the weekend & have availability weekends as needed. I will treat your pets like they are my own: showering them with love and cuddles. I will be very attentive and ensure that any requirements you ask are followed through. I strive to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
About: I have cared for dogs for the past 9 years from all walks of life. From dogs that are at the end of their life stage and need a little extra TLC to young bloods that need to be taken out for nice long walks to be tuckered out. I have cared for fish, guinea pigs, chicks and fully grown chickens I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of spare free time to give each pet that care they deserve! I have reliable transportation so that will also not be an issue I can care for pets in my home or the owners home. There are parks near where I live and I have a back yard that would allow the dogs to feel at home. I can also care in their own respective location with walks around the neighborhood, feeding, checking to ensure the water bowl is full and picking up after the pet.

About: When you trust me with your pet, you’re not just hiring someone to feed or walk them—you’re choosing someone who truly understands how much they mean to you. Pets are family, and I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect I’d give my own. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure they feel safe and happy. I believe every animal deserves kindness, consistency, and real connection—and that’s exactly what I promise to give. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that fits naturally into who I am and how I live. I enjoy being active, being outside, and spending time with pets brings me peace and joy. Whether I’m starting my morning with a walk or checking in on a pet after school or work, it blends smoothly into my routine because I make time for it, just like I would for something important. Taking care of my boy cat is something I truly enjoy. Every day, I make sure he has fresh food and clean water, a tidy litter box, and a safe, comfortable space to relax. I pay close attention to his behavior, whether he’s feeling playful or just wants to curl up and chill.

South Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Heidi was incredibly helpful, jumping into walk Manzy at a very late notice when we were out of town. She made it happen and made me feel so comfortable from a distance with her correspondence and pictures that Manzy was in great hands.
Thank you for doing such a great job with Charlie! I'll definitely book with you next time I am out of town.
Rodrigo was very professional and communicative before and during the booking and made sure to answer any questions I had. The boys seemed to have a good time hanging out with him!
Katie helped me out by walking my doggo. They did an hr walk. And she's so tired! Thank goodness. I hope to book Katie again if needed.
Brittany was fantastic with our dog! She was a great communicator, sent lots of photos, and loved on Ollie so well. We are thankful that we could feel confident with Ollie’s care while we were out of town!!! Brittany is the best!!!
Stephanie went above and beyond to care for my girl Nikita. She loves Nikita as if she was her own and sent detailed and constant updates which confirmed my decision that I chose the perfect sitter. I am grateful for how sweet and accommodating Stephanie is and will definitely be using her services in the future!
Did an amazing job with my pups! Communicates daily and provides the cutest pictures. Sad she is moving back to Texas, my pups will miss her 😭
Zach is awesome! He showed up on time and gave Weezie all the attention she wanted. We will definitely use him again!
Thank you for coming earlier when it wasn’t so hot! You always take such good care of my fur babies!
Jennifer has been doing a great job with my boys. I work long hours and they can be high energy. In the short time she's been walking them, they haven't been as rambunctious as before. She's been a big help!
We are loving working with Corey on a weekly basis! Roosevelt is ready with a full love attack when they arrive and we so appreciate their willingness to match his wild afternoon energy when it pops up (and to let him roll in the creek a little bit too) - our bean is a very happy guy when Corey arrives!
Always the best. My dogs love Nate, and he’s the most kind and helpful caregiver for them. Have used him for years, and I can’t say enough good things.
Natalie will treat your dogs like they are her own. She often brought our boys homemade dog treats! She is comfortable with all dogs big and small, even though our small guy has a big personality she had no problems taking care of him. Your pups will be in great hands in her care!!!
I recommend Mara as a dog walker. She was professional and responsible. My dog likes her. She understands how to communicate with dogs. Thanks Mara!
I’ve had Rosemary look after Murphy twice now and been pleased. She sends detailed updated and is always smiling in the pics 😃
Emily is a Rover superstar! I was so relieved when she was available on short notice to take my dog on multiple walks while I was away. She was quick to respond to messages and sent multiple photos of my dog after every visit. When I arrived home, I discovered she’d brought in packages that had been delivered to my door and even washed the dog food bowl—all without me even asking. I’m so grateful to Emily for her attentiveness to my dog and her flexibility with my requests, but I’m especially impressed with her initiative and attention to detail.
You can tell he’s a dog lover! My pup Maxie ran right up to him and she can be super shy at times. It was a great experience overall with the walk, the cute photos, and having someone I can trust my pup with. Thank you so much again!
Olivia was super helpful coming to the rescue at the last minute. Sterling stood by the door sadly watching her leave when she dropped him off. He was clearly smitten. 🥰
Raegan was so easy to work with and my dog Winston loved her!! Will definitely use her in the future.
Avanthi and Bharath were amazing at caring for my dog Penny. They took all the necessary steps to provide her with safe walks during this insane heat we are having recently. They gave Penny lots of love while they were with her, and made sure to send pictures as well! I will definitely have them help me out again in the future!
