About: Animals have been a part of my life for over four decades. I've cared for dogs and cats treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide the same love, attention, and care that you would give them yourself. Pet Care Routine I work Tuesday - Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., so pets in my care are typically alone during those hours unless I work remotely. Before leaving for work, I ensure they have: Fresh food and water A potty break or litter box cleaned Exercise and playtime Plenty of affection and attention A safe, comfortable environment When I return home around 3:30 p.m., pets receive: An immediate potty break Feeding (if scheduled) Exercise, walks, or playtime Cuddles, companionship, and enrichment Evening care based on each pet's individual routine I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's normal schedule and will follow your feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs, routine, and personality, whether I am caring for them in my home or in my client's home. Before each booking, I discuss feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, sleeping arrangements, and any special instructions with the owner. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to minimize stress. I provide fresh food and water, walks or outdoor potty breaks for dogs, litter box cleaning for cats, playtime, companionship, grooming if requested, and medication administration when needed. I also help keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring the home remains secure. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets receive regular feeding, supervised exercise and playtime, plenty of attention, comfortable rest areas, and frequent potty breaks. I carefully monitor their health and behavior and communicate with owners through regular updates and photos so they know their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while their family is away. With more than 40 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, turtles, fish, and hamsters, I understand that every animal deserves patient, compassionate, and dependable care.
About: We’ve taken care of many cats and dogs for friends and family! Our recent experience was fostering sick neonatal kittens until they were healthy and ready for adoption! We welcome all kinds of pets,needs, and personalities! I go to UTEP full-time, two days out of the week, but while I am gone to school there will always be someone watching your babies at my home! Other than that, I am free the rest of the time to walk them and do any other necessary duties for your pets. I have a fenced backyard and front yard, and they will have their own private area to sleep in and eat. They will also have the amount of interactions you prefer, if your pet is more social they can hang out in the common areas and if they prefer to be in a quiet space, they can stay in their private area.
“Camille has been incredible and we can’t wait to book with her again! Our dog absolutely loved her and we had to pry him away from her after our long vacation. She communicated with us every day and sent lots of pictures. We are so happy we chose Camille!”
“Second time my Toby has stayed with her, he has special feeding needs and everytime I pick him up he is so happy it's almost like he's been on a vacation himself! Would highly recommend her.”
“Mia had a great weekend with Yvette. I can tell she had fun and got plenty of exercise. I was updated with pictures. Will definitely book again! Went above and beyond 😊”

About: I have experience caring for family pets and am comfortable walking, feeding, and supervising dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I understand how important routines and safety are, and I always follow owner instructions carefully. I currently work a regular 9-5 and off on weekends but my wife is home 24/7 to help with potty times and dog care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and any special needs. I make sure pets get regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and attention, and I always keep their environment clean and supervised. I also communicate with the owner and provide updates to ensure their pet is well cared for at all times.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud husky mom to my girl, Lovee! 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always helped family and friends with their pups. I’ve done everything from walks and playtime to pet sitting, feeding, and yes… cleaning poop 😂 So I’m pretty comfortable with all the fun (and messy) parts of taking care of dogs. I’m super friendly, patient, and I treat every dog like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else, so I’ll make sure they get lots of love, attention, playtime, and feel comfortable while you’re away. Dogs are family, and their time with us is way too short. I just want to make sure they’re happy, loved, and spoiled while they’re here. ❤️🐶 I’m currently self-employed and also a full-time student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m usually home most of the week, with in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Because of my schedule, I’m able to make time for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m an early riser and like to start my day around 7 a.m., so morning walks and visits are no problem. I also have my own husky, Lovee, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work with your pup’s normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away! I have a fenced, gated backyard where dogs can safely get some fresh air and play, and I’m comfortable having dogs inside the home with me. I also have a large crate available if a dog is crate-trained, needs some quiet time, or simply does better with their own space. I do have my own husky, Lovee, so I’m mindful of making sure every dog is comfortable and gets along well with her. I’ll always introduce dogs appropriately and keep them separated when needed. For dogs who are more comfortable in their own home, I’m also happy to provide sitting in their familiar environment. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them at home, my goal is always to keep them safe, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾

“We are really happy we got Aylin to take care of our dog Ted! We were nervous to leave him in a new place but it was so much better than a boarding facility. Aylin was really responsive and communicated well! We got lots of pictures and updates. We could tell that Ted was really happy and well taken care of. When we go out of town again Aylin will be our go to.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sparks
Karen did an awesome job taking care of my babies, her house and big backyard were great and simply perfect for dogs to run around. She was very communicative and always replied as well as sent multiple pictures of them. This was my first time using Rover since it’s hard for me to trust anyone with my babies but Karen made all that better and I can honestly say I was at peace knowing my dogs were in good hands. I will definitely be booking Karen again for my next trip and I would totally recommend her to others.
Jessica is such a kind and loving pet sitter. Mochi always feels comfortable and at home with her. I really appreciate the daily updates and photos showing how Mochi is doing. We look forward to seeing you again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Mochi once again.
Maira was nothing short of amazing. I have tried a few people on Rover and she was excellent! She is very responsive, took such good care of my dog Milo and he came back home so happy. I will absolutely book with her again. I completely trust her. Highly recommend!
Scarlett was the best pet sitter I have ever had. My 3 month old puppy broke her leg and I needed care quickly. Scarlett loved on her, kept up with the medicine schedule, sent me timely updates and was patient with all that was required for a sick pup. She was empathetic, caring, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her services again.
I had an excellent experience with our dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and loved while I was away. Communication was great—I received regular updates and photos. Which gave me so much peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sparks home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sparks.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sparks sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
