About: I am the designated dog sitter amongst my friends. I have taken care of my brother's dog for a month, a friend's dog for 2 months, and many times more with 8 years of dog sitting experiences. Since I do not have a dog of my own, I treat all the dogs I take care of as my own. This means they will be well fed, exercised, and bathed in joy :) I work a hybrid schedule so this creates flexibility on my end to watch you pet for the whole day when I work from home. I am an active person so I try to go for a 20 minute walk everyday and by providing pet care, this creates a win win situation for me and the pet! On weekends, I enjoy going for a run, if your pet is active, I can take the dog out for a jog too. I have a fenced yard and live in a pet friendly neighborhood with easy access to trail. Pets are allowed on the couch for comfort.

About: Since I’ve had a lab from puppy to sending him off puppy heaven 😭 I am well experienced with taking care of any dog in all stages of life. Now I help with friends and family’s puppies when needed. I am currently working remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! As an active person, walks are always more enjoyable with a companion. Understanding every dog is handled differently, I can accommodate to what your routine is! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what your pup's feeding schedule, potty habits, or any specific rules you follow at home are so I can keep their day as normal as possible.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 20 years and truly treat every dog like family. In addition to raising my own pups, I’ve fostered dogs, volunteered with a rescue organization, and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2019. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for hundreds of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while you’re apart. About me: Typically I work from home 2 days a week but those days are flexible and I’m home on the weekends. I volunteer for DFW Boxer Rescue and have fostered a couple dogs for them. I am a HUGE Boxer lover so if you have a Boxer...🙋🏼‍♀️ please, pick me!! If you want to know more about me or see photos and videos of my Rover dogs feel free to ask for any photos and/or videos. When I say that I treat pets like my children, it is no exaggeration! We treat all dogs like they are our own and they even sleep in the bed with us. I have crates for when they are needed (or wanted) but I do not require them nor do I want to use them unless necessary (which is mainly for meal time). I prefer for the dogs to roam the house and get comfortable like this is their own home.

About: From furry babies to senior care, I have worked with all types of pets. I am very adaptable to any specific needs your pet may have. You let me know and I can make it happen! Im reliable and dependable, always being on time. Daily, weekly or whatever your needs may be..its my pleasure to accommodate your schedule. Im flexible to work with you on whatever your pet may need. With the convenience of coming to you, your pet is always happy and comfortable in their own environment. From daily visits to house sitting, your pet is always taken care of.

About: I worked at the SPCA for 3 years when I was younger, taking care of shelter dogs. In high school, I wanted to be a vet and had lots of vet training classes. I also interned at a vet clinic my last year of high school. I have changed my career path since then, but I still love working with animals and they are an integrated part of my life. My mom recently got a puppy and I’ve been having a fun time dog training🦮❤️❤️ I’m currently a full time student at college and I’ve been needing a new job. I know it’s easy for me to care for animals so I will just fit that into any free time I have. I will care for your pet in your home. It really depends on what your wanting and the specific needs of the particular animal. I will use my past knowledge and your instruction to care for your animal. Feeding, playing, walking or just hanging out and giving your pet some company:)

About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, cows, horses, and more. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, not just a hobby. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respect different temperaments, and provide consistent, responsible care. I have extensive hands on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm seniors. Over the years, I have helped with walking, feeding, administering medications, teeth brushing, light grooming, and basic training using positive reinforcement. Friends and family regularly trust me as their go to sitter because I prioritize safety, structure, and attentive care. I live in a quiet apartment with my partner and our dog, Koda, a mini dachshund born in 2021. There are no kids in the home. Koda is friendly, social, and ready to have a fur friend around. He is allowed on furniture and sleeps in bed with my partner and me, and visiting dogs are welcome to do the same if that matches their routine at home. Koda is taken out for potty breaks and walks more than three times a day and is fed three times a day, and I follow the same level of care and consistency for visiting pups. I am happy to stick to your dog’s existing feeding, walking, and sleep schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I work from home Wednesday through Friday and am fully available those days, as well as most weekends. I am in office Mondays and Tuesdays and unavailable those days, which is reflected in my schedule. When I step out briefly, dogs are safely crated, and I return within a reasonable amount of time to let both your pup and my own out. During boarding stays, dogs enjoy structured walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment based on their energy level and preferences. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and predictable environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Dogs spend most of their time indoors with me in a clean, well maintained apartment, with plenty of outdoor time for walks and fresh air. I do require dogs to be crate trained, as crates are used for safety during rest periods or brief outings. I believe owners know their dogs best, so I always welcome detailed notes about routines, preferences, and anything that helps your dog feel at home. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you are away. Requirements for boarding with me: • Dogs must be crate trained • Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, proof required • Dogs must be on flea and heartworm prevention • Dogs new to boarding in a home with another dog may require a meet and greet I work from home Wednesdays through Fridays and am fully available those days to provide attentive, consistent care. I am typically home on weekends as well and available for boarding during that time. I work in office on Mondays and Tuesdays and am unavailable those days, which is reflected in my Rover calendar. When I do step out briefly on evenings or weekends, dogs are safely crated and I always return within a reasonable amount of time to let both your pup and my own out. If my availability changes, my Rover schedule will always be kept up to date so you know exactly when I am available. I live in a clean, quiet apartment with my partner and our miniature dachshund, Koda, born in 2021. There are no kids in the home. Dogs are treated as part of the family and are allowed on furniture and in the bed if that matches their routine at home. Safety is always my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely supervise all interactions. Dogs are never left unattended with unfamiliar pets, and I take time to ensure proper introductions and comfort levels. I follow each dog’s individual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and rest. Dogs are taken out multiple times a day and receive regular exercise and mental enrichment. When I step out briefly, dogs are safely crated for their comfort and security. I am very communicative and happy to provide updates and photos so you feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care.

“We truly appreciate the twice-weekly dog walks for our sweet, senior dog. Kathleen is so nice and easy-going; she really makes a difference in our lives. We can trust her with a key and know our dog gets love, exercise and enjoys the sunshine while we’re at work.”

About: I’ve taken care of different types of animals since I was a child. (I’m 57) My friends know how much love I have for animals, and often the first person my friends think about when they need someone to take care of their pets. I have extensive experience with senior and special needs animals who require unique care. I enjoy playing and walking with dogs and letting them experience their neighborhood surroundings and smells. Cats are fairly self sufficient, but the superior care I provide will give them plenty of attention and love. I am honored to be entrusted with the care of such an important part of the family as your pets. Your fur babies are safe with me. I promise to deliver superior care to meet your specific needs. I also promise to take care of your pet as I would my own. I have a little dog myself. Her name is Evie. She gets along with everyone. She’s seven and part Chihuahua Patterdale Terrier. I bring her with me most of the time, but will accommodate your needs. She doesn’t have to come, but I’d like it if she can. I’m a retired teacher so there is plenty time for me to spend with grandkids and my own pets. I am often out and about, so caring for your fur baby can be easily incorporated into to my day. I’m also available for overnight, especially with babies that are apprehensive, nervous or special needs. My entire time will be devoted to making your pet happy. Your pet’s needs take priority. It is genuinely fun for me to spend time with animals outside my own home. I love all animals and will work with you to design the perfect care routine specific to your pet’s needs.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.

“We can not thank Baylee enough! Having a crazy busy and unset schedule isn’t always ideal. Baylee has been amazing to work with. She is very detailed and always willing to help us out when needed, especially last minute. She lets us know when she arrives, leaves and sends us pictures! She loves our Bailey. She has helped us with potty training, teething and so much more. She treats our puppy as if she was her own. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for everything Baylee!”

About: I am nurse of 5 years looking for ways to help on my days off :) I have had pet dogs all my life from the puppy stage to senior dogs. I currently have a large breed puppy and 2 small breed senior dogs. All with very different personalities and energy levels, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and activity levels. I’m a huge dog lover and would love the opportunity to play with and care for more ! I’m a full time nurse so I work 3 random days out of the week. I typically get a finalized schedule at 6 week increments so I am available 4 days out of the week each week to care for your fur babies. :) We have a fenced yard with baby gates inside to separate from areas such as the living room where we wouldn’t want our dogs to go into. As well as a gate blocking off the stairway so our senior dogs don’t go up and down too often and hurt themselves. They have a doggy door leading to our backyard for them to use whenever they please and plenty of toys inside and outside for our play times.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Milan's services enough! Her sweet spirit, kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for my babies made such a difference. She took care of them like they were her own. I returned home to smiling faces and wagging tails. She even fed my fish 🥰Thank you for such an incredible experience—I’ll definitely be coming back to book again! Highly recommend!!! Thank you💕”
