“Lucy had an excellent stay with Khatuna. From the moment I dropped her off, it was clear she was in a safe, caring, and attentive environment. Khatuna treated Lucy with genuine affection and kept her comfortable and engaged throughout her stay. I really appreciated the consistent communication — photos, videos, and updates that showed Lucy relaxed, happy, and enjoying her time. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was being looked after with such care. Khatuna’s home is clean, pet‑friendly, and clearly set up with dogs’ comfort in mind. Lucy came back calm, well‑rested, and clearly bonded with her. I highly recommend Khatuna to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care. Lucy will definitely be visiting again.”
“Jessyka & Joseph were great! I had to find someone last minute and they were incredibly accommodating. My dogs were cared for and comfortable in their home. Got updates and pictures daily. Overall couldn’t ask for a better visit!”
“Courtney was amazing with Craig. I appreciated her ability to provide pictures consistently. She even trained with him, ensured he got some exercise, and gave me some obedience training tips. Her pets got a long well with Craig and I look forward to rebooking in the future.”
“Alison is absolutely amazing! My 2 german shepherd boys love her and are so happy and healthy when they return home. She always keeps me informed of how they are doing and sends pictures for updates. Leaving your fur babies is hard but she makes it easier.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our pet sitter! She took great care of my cat and made the entire process stress-free. I appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away on a long trip. It was clear my cat was well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
About: I have grown up with numerous pets of different sizes since a child. Having my own dog I understand the essentials of dog care and take pride in the effort I put in to make sure his needs are met. Every pet deserves to be cared for as much as they care for us. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets and doing all I can to ensure they receive every bit of care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have availability in the mornings, some lunches, and afternoons. I prioritize their needs alongside my own commitments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I ensure the pet goes potty as many times instructed or needed, they eat their food with any medications needed, they get plenty of loving, and go on any walks requested.

“Taylor did amazing!! While I know my Sebastian where shy she did awesome getting him food and checking in on them. Even saved me when my flight got delayed an extra day and stopped by to help! Can't thank you enough!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 2 years old and have experience with all types of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who move at their own pace. I currently help care for my mom’s dog Bleu (5 years old) and previously cared for my senior dog, Max, who lived to be 14, so I’m comfortable with all stages of life including the “I just want to nap all day” phase. I’m usually the go-to dog sitter in my family, especially for my grandparents, so I’m used to being on “dog duty” at a moment’s notice. As a former college student-athlete, I’ll actually match your dog’s energy—whether that means long walks, playtime, or a dog park adventure. If your dog has energy, I’ll match it. If they’re a couch potato, I fully respect that lifestyle too. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, and slightly spoiled while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine since I have a flexible weekday schedule. I currently coach at a university and split time between Texas and New Mexico, so my availability can vary depending on travel for coaching and track meets. I’m typically more available during the weekdays and less available on weekends. When I’m available, I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, and caring for dogs, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet their needs and schedules. I care for each pet based on their routine and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any specific routines the dog is used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. For walks and exercise, I match the dog’s energy level—whether that’s active walks, play sessions, or a slower pace for senior dogs. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone.
About: I have pet sat and house sat for family members, friends, coworkers, and community members through Rover. I’ve also cared for pets while babysitting and/or housesitting. It is so much fun for me! I like being able to help others and make their lives easier when traveling, etc. I am a teacher, so I am gone most of the daytime during the week. I would be able to check on your pets before I go to work and after I get off. On holidays or weekends, I could spend more time with them! I would prefer to sit in your home to keep your pets comfortable and interrupt their schedule as little as possible! If other arrangements are needed, we can talk through it and & figure it out!

“Joseph and Jessyka have been watching over my one year old husky throughout the day while I’m at work and I’m more than grateful for it. They send me updates and pictures of shadow throughout the day. He always has fun with their two other dogs and when I pick him up he’s always in a happy mood and all tired out. I 100% recommended them to watch over your furry friends.”

About: I have owned dogs ranging from 5-120 lbs throughout my life. We have fostered shy dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in-between. Just last year we fostered 17 dogs, some for up to 6 months! I am familiar with administering time sensitive medication, and I am perfectly confident with specific instructions for care. I have a dog wash set-up that we utilize for our own furry friends, and I would be happy to extend that to yours as well! I spend intentional, one on one time with every dog that stays here, and I make sure they have plenty of play time, couch time, and playful interaction with other dogs (if they're social!). Your fur baby will feel like they're on a mini vacation. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am able to give a ton of one on one time to each dog that is in my care. I love taking them on walks, too, so if that is something your pet needs, please let me know! I have a fully brick walled back yard, and 1 dog of my own. He is fixed and gets along very well with the ladies, but he likes to be the only boy. If my services are requested for a male dog, I am able to keep them separated with 100% confidence. If your dog gets along with other dogs, they will absolutely be able to run around in our yard. I have experience with intact males and females as well as spayed/neutered ones, and can and will keep dogs separate if needed/wanted. We have a dog bath, brushes, blankets, toys, and balls, but please feel free to bring your own! While I do have cats, they are kept separate from the dogs, so there is no risk of them interacting. I do not offer drop-in services for dogs.
About: I've been needing animals in my life and a way to fill that void while still a college student. I've also been able to take care of animals since my childhood and understand what they need when they need it. Whenever I get to have breaks within my busy schedule, I can always come and check in on the pets and make sure they are doing okay. Let the animals do their thing while keeping a watchful eye on them as much as possible. Checking their food and water every so often to make sure they have that in stock always, unless there are scheduled feedings.

About: I've always loved and cared for a variety of animals. Even fostered for rescue helping over 13 pets, one year, find their forever homes and not having to stay in the shelter. I arrive at every job with my teen who has been joining me on every job since day ONE in 2021. Doing this has allowed us to be better suited to finding a comfort zone per pet. If they are more comfortable with her, I can sit back and not force your pet to deal with uncomfortable situations in your absence. If they are more rambunctious and need firmer control, I am able to step in and keep everyone safe. But the teen lives for claw tats and is not fearful of animals either. We want to know what makes your pet unique and happy. What comforts them and what to avoid. What is their favorite treat and their biggest fear. Are they ok when thunder happens or do we need to hold their paw? Your pets become our family while you are away and we are happy to send you obsessive amount of pictures, provided the app doesn't freeze up on us, and updates. We're not afraid of asking questions for clarity. We have not met anyone too complicated yet, and we are happy to work with adjusting schedules. Military, medical and work can all change on a dime, and we're here for it. We understand that we live in a spread out area and we can work something out that works for everyone. We generally respond quickly and are open to answering questions. We can't wait to work with you and your family, see you soon!! I am a single mom looking for ways to keep up and still be available for my children. As such I am also very available for your pets needs as well. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time. I do plan to open these services up when the possibility arises though.
About: I have been house/pet sitting for about 3 years for a few families in town! I have experience with small dogs, bigger dogs, and special needs dogs. I am prompt to feed them, take them outside, or give them medicine if needed. They are important to me and I will love on them any chance I get! I am a stay at home mom but can always make time for your pets! I have lots of help here in town so I will never need to take my child with me to care for your pet. I don’t have a strict schedule, so I can basically help at anytime of the day except late at night! :) I have always taken care of pets at the owners home. I am very attentive to your animals needs and will love on them as much as they want. The families I pet sit for never have any problems!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have experience in caring for senior pets and pets who need oral medications. I have a cat named Beans (for her cute little toe beans!). I treat all animals as if they were my own and I cannot wait to take care of yours! I am currently working part time at another job and working full time for Rover. I am available Sunday through Tuesday all day, and Wednesday through Saturday 6am-3pm. Safety is always the most important part of taking care of your pups/kitties needs! I am always sure to play, walk, and watch them until it is time to go inside for snuggles and a nap. I love getting to know each pet and catering to their likes/dislikes and personality!
