“Jackie was attentive and knowledgable, I would book her again in the future. She was trusted to walk my sixty pound husky and seventy pound German shepard. She was even kind enough to write a thorough summary of events that occurred on the hour long walk. My pups also looked great in their photo shoots.”


“Katherine was excellent with my two dogs! My usual dog walker had an emergency the day scheduled and Katherine was able to walk them the day requested. She maximized her time with them and took them for a long walk! Would definitely recommend for your fur babies!!”

“Arianna has been so great with my dog!! So thankful for her care and attentiveness! My neighbor told me that while Arianna was watching my dog, that she was very attentive with Harlie and made sure she was a good girl with the other dogs, and was watching out for her. So amazing to have a neighbor say as I am new to having a dog walker. So thankful I found Arianna!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends for a very long time. My love for dogs is only increasing the more and more ❤️❤️ I love being active but don’t mind lounging around with an older or less active pup. My hours can be really early or later in the evening for dog walking. I can be pretty flexible! If taking dogs for walks, I will bring water with a bowl (and of course doggie bags!) 👍❤️ I am currently not working this summer, so I will be available most days! I take care of my own cat in the mornings and evenings, and do my best at playing with her for 15-30 min daily to keep her healthy. When walking my friend’s dogs during the hotter parts of the day, I do my best to walk in shaded areas and/or in grass to protect little paws. In your home, I will stick to interacting with your pet: nothing else (like snooping around)! I care for pets in the way that is best for them: do they need to play? Do they need space? I am flexible to what an owner may need for their pet.

“Arden is Wonderful ! Our corgi is thrilled with her and she is super professional, responsive, friendly and loving. Smart and intuitive and knows just what he needs (walk/play etc). We are already rebooking and highly recommend!”

“My little guy had a great walk. I can tell because he is calm now! Reagan took him for a long walk even though it was raining today. I love this service for Biscuit! Thank you Reagan!”

“This was my first week ever using Rover and I was lucky enough to find Susana! From the very first message, Susana has been super responsive and has great communication. She is always prompt on her walk times and sends plenty of pictures and videos. My pup always seems so happy when I get home after I know he’s just had a walk. I’ve already rebooked for my second week and look forward to continuing to use Susana as my dog walker.”

“This is about the third time booking with Crystal and Mike, and I am always satisfied by the care they provide! They are also very quick to respond, making the process very Easy!”

“We are so thankful for Karen as this is our third time in using her for our long trips to walk our dog. She goes above and beyond. You can tell her love for dogs from the messages she sends daily! It brings me comfort to know he’s been treated well.”


“Sol is amazing with our dogs—we genuinely look forward to his visits. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our dogs get so excited every time he comes by, which says everything. We feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
About: Ive always enjoyed the little joy animals get when it comes to simple things such as using a high pitch to ask if they want to go on a walk or calling their name. I’m on a babysitting app and I’d love to try interacting with animals since they’re amazing .Animals and humans are different but the responsibility is kind of similar in which I bring. Im a college student so my classes are a little strange that had open gaps which comes with flexibility and just ready to help people throughout my time! I have a cat myself and treat her like my absolute child because animals can also be family members so of course I’ll be treating any animal as my own.
“Lauren was amazing. She was able to help me on short notice and was very patient with my sassy shiba. If I’m ever out of town again I’ll definitely be hiring her.”

About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
About: I have had my two chihuahuas for 8 years, and have been taking care of them every day since. I have been dog-sitting, plant-sitting, house-sitting for a few years now, and I absolutely love doing it. I am a full time student at TAMUCC and I work for the school but my schedule is very flexible! In my hometown, I have two chihuahuas that I cared for and I cared for many of my friends' pets as well. Currently, I have no pets but I am hoping I can take care of your pets while you need it. I love staying with pets at clients' homes for as long as I can so they don't get lonely. Whether that means cleaning up a little, playing with them, etc.

“Samia is wonderful. Our Charlie is so excited to see her everyday. She’s great at communicating with us about schedule changes, and we can rely on her to take great care of our girl. Thank you Samia - your daily walks make Charlie a happy healthy pup.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years, I love hanging out with people’s pets especially cats and big dogs! This year my neighbor got a puppy and I was constantly over there helping with potty training and feeding her! I’m currently a college student with a pretty flexible schedule! On weekdays before 11 and after 3 I am free to walk your pups! Weekends will be a little more tricky for me since I am currently doing a 200 hr yoga teacher training. I’m a very high energy person willing to play and walk the distance! with your fur babies! I have two dogs and a cat back at home and if I wasn’t hanging out with my cat I was playing with the dogs!
