Highly-rated overnight sitters - Abilene
“Our dog had a great time at Kimberlee's house and got along with her other two dogs. She went above and beyond and relieved my anxiety about leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover sitter. We'll be sure to book with her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was so wonderful!!! Dakota was very well taken care of and really seemed to enjoy his time with Elizabeth and her family! We appreciate Elizabeth so much and will definitely ask to use her services in the future.”
“Dale is amazing! I’ve taken my dog to a kennel before and this was 10 times better. I dropped off two dogs to Dale last minute for 5 nights and he took great care of them. One of our dogs is newly adopted from the shelter and can be a bit skittish, but he warmed up to Dale right away. He sent multiple pictures everyday and I felt way better knowing they were around Dale and other dogs 24/7 instead of being left in a kennel most of the day. I’m definitely taking my dogs back to Dale.”
“Daisy had a great time with James & Winnie. Will definitely rebook another time. He provided photos and updates about Daisy was doing and didn’t keep her locked up like most dog sitters.”
“Tabby and Robert were absolutely fantastic!! This was the first time we have left our dog and we couldn’t have felt better about it. They sent pictures and videos the entire time. They treated Stark like their own. We could tell he was being loved on and played with the entire time. They even care about the little things like following the same rules you put in place at your own house so routines don’t get messed up. They made sure he had his medicine and everything. They are fantastic and responsible pet owners and sitters!! I will for sure be calling them anytime we need somebody to watch Stark again.”
“Jeremy was amazing with my sweet Benji. He carved a space into his home and family where Benji fit right in! Jeremy kept me well updated and as a dog mom who has had to be away from her son the past few months, his updates illuminated my days. Thank you so much, Jeremy!!”
“Terra is amazing! This is my first time using Rover and first time boarding my dog with anyone. I am so glad I booked with Terra! She sent daily updates and pictures and even offered to meet prior to our boarding date to ensure it was a good fit. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Terra and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it went incredibly smooth! Jacob and his family loved on my dog Benny and sent me updates, pictures, and answered all of my questions. I will definitely be using them the next time I need it!”
“Pamela took great care of Max while we were out of town. She sent frequent updates with pictures, which gives us peace of mind. Max came home happy and even got treats from Pamela. I will definitely use her services again, not only boarding but also daycare.”
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!! I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have owned cats and love how they are pretty independent. I love how they cuddle and want to be pet and just relax. I have had kittens and cats I work full time and home at 5:30 pm and off on weekends and have a doggy door. When I’m not working I’m home with my 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard, they can get on furniture and able to sleep in bed with me. I will take them to potty as often as they need to go.
About: We have had animals our entire life, my mother made us start being responsible for them at an early age. Around 7 or 8 years old. Whether it was dogs or cats, if we wanted them she said we had to take care of them. As I got older I started getting animals of my own. I absolutely love dogs though and I have been a breeder of malamutes. That means we've had lots of puppies around the house. Lots of potty training lots of outdoor training. I have had cats but not as often as dogs lol. I am not working at all right now so I have an open schedule for the most part. And to be honest with you I think that I probably should have reached out to Rover a long time ago . I do have two dogs of my own at home with me. I have an eight-year-old dog and a dog that's about to be 11 years old At my home I do have a fenced-in yard, and I can get additional dog food bowls if needed, I do not have any cats at this time.So I don't have a cat box here.

“Rosalia from day one of request had great communication and was so thankful for availability for last minute need. Came and checked on our cat and tried to get her to play even though our cat is very reluctant to. Definitely will use again hopefully.”
About: I enjoy animals of all types, and have had dogs and cats growing up. I’m familiar with several breed types and am comfortable with any size dog. I enjoy connecting with pets and giving them love through play time, plenty of touch/pets, and even offering quiet pockets where I read/draw and they can relax in the same space with me. It’s all about focusing on what keeps them happy while I’m there as a visitor in their safe space. Your pet will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. I have pet sat for highly social and energetic dogs and cats, as well as shy/timid ones. I’ve also cared for senior pets that need less energetic play and more quality interactive time. It’s not about forcing my presence, but rather giving them the opportunity to know they are safe even with someone they don’t know in their home. I like to share updates - pictures and videos are sent daily to ease your discomfort of being away from them and to help assure your pet is receiving quality care. I work full-time: work days are Sunday mornings and then full days Mon - Thurs (9 am to 4 pm), with a flexible lunch break window. Fridays and Saturdays are open. I am flexible to whatever a client prefers. I am happy to adhere to your guidelines for feeding times, specific diet, treat giving, and anything else for your fur baby’s well-being. I’ve provided medication as needed, as well. I enjoy time outside, but monitor for heat and safety for your pet first and foremost. Walks, if approved, will be kept to the local neighborhood - I do not transport pets unless there is an emergency. Respect for your private sanctuary is important - I will maintain any guidelines given to me for your home, can bring the mail and packages in while you’re gone, and will leave it the same or better than when I arrived.
About: I have personal experience caring for cats through independently caring for my own cat for several months. my responsibilities included feeding, cleaning the litter box, providing attention, and making sure my cat was well taken care for daily.
“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”
“Hannah has proven to be reliable & extends compassionate care for my cat whenever I am out of town. She responds in timely manner vis text, sends pics of her visits, leaves my pet area clean & fresh & responds in a helpful way to all my requests. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve cared for cats for most of my life and understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves attention, I will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I am experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and providing companionship. As an animal lover with volunteer experience at an animal shelter, I am committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and stress-free.
“Kelsey gives me peace of mind that my two dogs are well cared for. She has given them their medication and has been helpful by picking up canned dog food to mix the meds in. From the photos and videos sent, Nala and Petal love Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey!”

About: I am a pre-vet student at Hardin-Simmons, and I love dogs. I work at a dog kennel, and in my spare time volunteer at the animal shelter, so I am always around dogs. I work with plenty of older dogs and puppies, and I am comfortable with any size dog breed. I work part time currently, so mornings and evenings are always available, which works well with the current summer heat. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I also have open availability!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Abilene
“I had never used Rover before, but I was so pleased with Dale! He sent me pictures of my puppy every day! He answered promptly when I would ask about her! He was all around the best dog sitter I have ever had. I would recommend Dale to anyone and everyone! I will definitely be asking Dale to watch Millie again!”
“Yen was so friendly and communicated well. She was able to book a last minute visit and kept me updated throughout the stay, with cute pictures and made me feel like she really cared and took the time to get to know him and his personality! I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“Alexis is so sweet and patient with our crazy puppy! We trust her fully and appreciate the peace of mind it gives us to leave our puppy with Alexis while we're at work during the day.”
“Terra had been amazing in day and overnight care for my fur babies. She’s really catered to them to bring them out of their shell and be comfortable. I’m truly grateful for the lengths Terra goes to just to make their stay wonderful every time.”
About: I've owned dogs my entire life - up to three at once. From puppies to their last moments 🫶🏻, I have experience with care at all stages of life. Currently have two labs (5 and 7, male and female) who are friendly with other dogs. I work from home and we have a fenced yard. I work full time from home and am here all day for their care/entertainment. We have a good sized fenced yard for play and lots of toys to play with. We have a large shaded grassy back yard as well as two large indoor kennels and two large soft travel kennels if your pup finds comfort in a kennel. Our five year old golden lab loves to play with everyone. Our seven year old black lab is laid back and chill. My dogs spend the day as my office buddies and prefer their kennels at night, but our visitors can roam free at night if not crate trained.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I was raised with a dad who trained dogs and passed down the love of dogs to me. I take care of all my family members dogs when on vacation.

About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.

“Absolutely amazing! She watched both of our puppies (who can be a handful) without complaint and did amazing!! She kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent pictures. Very sweet and loves animals! Highly recommend”
About: From an early age I have been surrounded by animals. I learned they will never let you down and they always have your back. Growing up my passion for such loving creatures has only grown stronger. Animals do not have a voice so we must stand up and be the voice for them as they comfort us in our times of need. I have been sitting for years as it is a passion of mine. I hope to continue my passion with you and your fur babies. I am flexible and willing to work with pets and their owners to find something suitable for both parties. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, but we do own two Greyhounds and a new kitten that adopted us. My husband does work overnight hours as a Paramedic so I would not be available to stay overnight while he is on shift. I am an open book so questions are welcome! I live close to several dog parks, we have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. I also have the ability for daily walks (assuming it’s not too hot outside).
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young family and friends rely on me to care for their pets. We have been the dog hotel for a long time. I’m currently at home most of the time so am available to care for and spoil your babies giving them lots of love and attention. I have 2 fenced in big yards that dogs can be separated if need be. I have 2 dogs that love to play and will be excited to have a new friend.
About: Around my hometown neighborhood I had many friends and family. This made it easy to book certain days and times to care for their animals. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve also had the amazing opportunity to foster kittens for 12 years with Feline Network. When I schedule appointments with someone and their animal they’re a priority. Love is more than a word, it’s a connection you can’t deny. Animals everywhere deserve love just as much as people do. Your dog is important, that’s why I want you to feel your dog is safe, loved, and cared for properly. I’m here to put my time, love, and energy into your lovely dog. I’ve fostered kittens and cared for many animals since I was seven years old. I was fortunate enough to learn about keeping an animal healthy and safe. Through the years I learned giving dogs their medication(s) can either be easy or difficult, but if you really care you’ll be patient and think outside the box. I have also learned to vaccinate dogs, cats, and pigs. I was also a member of 4-H for three years, I learned hard work, commitment, and giving an animal the attention and care it needs. When I know I can give an animal love, why wouldn’t I do it. Currently I’m doing online schooling from home. I love to schedule dates and times, but I’m very flexible when needed. I’m available all weekdays and weekends. You can contact me those days at 8:30am through 8:00pm. If you need to reschedule don’t hesitate to ask. When I’m taking care of a dog in it’s needed environment I will assess their needs and wants. I will make sure said dog gets everything they need to be successful.
About: I’ve grown up with exceptional dogs all my life. Small, medium, large, you name it I’ve fed it! All jokes aside, I am a reliable caretaker for your fur babies needs. Walking, cleaning, play time, feeding, or bathing is absolutely no problem! I am currently a stay-at home mom, which means I’ll have loads of time to relax, lounge, and play with your babies while you’re away on business or vacation! My family has 2 dogs: a black lab and a German Shepard mix. We use to have a cat, her name was Floof, and she was sweet yet feisty! We play in the backyard a lot and they enjoy meeting and playing with other dogs, big and small!

“Very polite, on time, and great with my dogs. I feel secure that she’s going to keep them safe. Very responsive to my questions and emails. I feel safe in that she’ll take good care of my dogs.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals. I am very thorough and make sure your babies are well taken care of and happy throughout our time together. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by setting specific times for feeding, walking, and playing with my pets. Each day, I make sure to give them fresh food and water, take them out for exercise like walks or playtime, and spend quality time bonding. Weekly, I might schedule grooming, vet visits, or extra play sessions to keep them happy and healthy. It’s all about making their care a regular part of my day so they feel loved and well looked after! I make mental notes of each animals character and see what gestures they make in order to know if they need to use the bathroom or would like to have some alone time or even to play. I like to have every animal feel safe in their own home. I give them time to get used to be being around them and show them I will not hurt them. I like to earn the trust of your animal.
About: I have extensive experience working with a wide range of animals, including wild, domestic, and farm species. My passion for animals runs deep, and I am genuinely dedicated to understanding their unique needs and providing them with the highest level of care.

Caring for animals is not just a job for me; it’s a calling that I approach with great enthusiasm and responsibility. I love visiting other people’s pets and caring for them! I am currently a local artist and a SAHM! I have a 3 year old who also loves animals! My personal animals have a daily routine and their own bedroom. With clients though I make sure they give me a list of directions so I do not miss any specifics.
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I helped care for a small family dog for about 3 years, assisting with feeding, daily care, and attention. I also independently cared for my own cat for several months, managing feeding, cleaning, and overall care. Pet care has been part of my daily routine. I would come home during lunch breaks to check on and care for my pet, and after work I handled feeding, cleaning, and attention. I’m also generally free on weekends for consistent pet care and supervision. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following any instructions provided by the owner. I focus on keeping pets supervised, maintaining their routines, providing attention and care, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times.

I always make sure my schedule can accommodate the pets schedule so they are properly cared for. I work 4 hours during weekdays and 6 hours during weekends. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to care for your pets needs appropriately. I will go outside with your dog every potty break to ensure they are safe. On walks, I always make sure I have a dog whistle on me to make sure myself and the dogs are safe. I also enjoy giving treats and cuddles to make sure they feel loved!
“BEST IN ABILENE!!!!! Alexis was absolutely AMAZING. I had to leave for a last minute family emergency and she was on it. She is very great at communicating and also sending pictures of my adorable frenchie. If you need someone to watch your dog please go to her!”
About: Hi I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was very little. I have always had a big passion for taking care of dogs and cats. I also volunteered at a animal shelter and learned everything there is. i currently do not work so i am home and available 24/7 for any animal needs. i am always home with my animals playing and watching them play outside. I usually take the dogs out every hour or every two hours. They can run around a park and a pet area and go on walks when it’s not to hot.
About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.
“I’ve been using Hannah for a couple months now on a weekly basis and she’s been amazing. On time, dependable, great communication, and absolutely wonderful with my 4 dogs. I strongly recommend using Hannah for all your pet needs.”
About: I have always been the go to nieghbor to help out with a pet. Caring for everythig from a tarantula to a horse has prepared me for whatever life decides to throw. I know how to train puppies but have a lot of experience with senior dogs. Being a nursing student I know how to act during medical emergencies for your pet without hesitation to ensure his/her safety. I currently work as a pediatric nurse a few days a week. Depending on the bread I love taking dogs on long hikes during a time of day with a safe temperature. I know some good spots! (Unless they don't like cars ill just keep it in the neighborhood) As for cats I like to have at least an hour of active play time with them. I am a believer in scheduled feedings but if you are not let me know! I love going on daily walks and enjoy socializing with animals. Giving attention to your fur babies will be the best part of my day! I will walk your dogs at least twice a day and try to make your vacation as fun for them as it is for you!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of different temperaments and learned the importance of patience and attentive care. I am a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following your pet's routine! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and will provide patient, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been caring for family and friends' dogs since I was 15. Currently, I help train future service dogs with canine companions. I also have two fur babies of my own whom I love. I'm currently working full-time at the Omaha Country Club as a pool service lead. My schedule changes from week to week, but I am available for most of the day during the week and all day on Sundays. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have yard chains available. I currently crate my dogs when they are not at home; otherwise, they have free rein of the house. I want to keep overnight visits in the dogs' home, as I do not want to disrupt anyone's safe space.
About: Growing up in the country, I had access to all kinds of animals. I had a pet pig, chicken, and dogs. To me, pets aren't pets, they are members of our family. I have been apart of Rover for almost 2 years and still love it. I love meeting new owners and their babies! I'm also always taking on new clients! I am comfortable and have experience in giving your baby medications and injections. I work for Hendricks and my hours are Monday to Thursday 745am to 5pm, and Fridays 745am to 12pm. I only get a 30 minute lunch, which makes it difficult to do a drop in during the day. While I am not available to keep your "kiddo" at my own home, I am happy to stay where your "child" is most comfortable, their own home. If they are anything like my daughter was (a 12 year old basset hound) home was her place.

“Our dog had a great time at Kimberlee's house and got along with her other two dogs. She went above and beyond and relieved my anxiety about leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover sitter. We'll be sure to book with her again in the future!”
“Daisy had a great time with James & Winnie. Will definitely rebook another time. He provided photos and updates about Daisy was doing and didn’t keep her locked up like most dog sitters.”
“Tabby and Robert were absolutely fantastic!! This was the first time we have left our dog and we couldn’t have felt better about it. They sent pictures and videos the entire time. They treated Stark like their own. We could tell he was being loved on and played with the entire time. They even care about the little things like following the same rules you put in place at your own house so routines don’t get messed up. They made sure he had his medicine and everything. They are fantastic and responsible pet owners and sitters!! I will for sure be calling them anytime we need somebody to watch Stark again.”
“Jeremy was amazing with my sweet Benji. He carved a space into his home and family where Benji fit right in! Jeremy kept me well updated and as a dog mom who has had to be away from her son the past few months, his updates illuminated my days. Thank you so much, Jeremy!!”
“Terra is amazing! This is my first time using Rover and first time boarding my dog with anyone. I am so glad I booked with Terra!

I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Terra and I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!!

I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
About: We have had animals our entire life, my mother made us start being responsible for them at an early age. Around 7 or 8 years old. Whether it was dogs or cats, if we wanted them she said we had to take care of them. As I got older I started getting animals of my own. I absolutely love dogs though and I have been a breeder of malamutes. That means we've had lots of puppies around the house. Lots of potty training lots of outdoor training. I have had cats but not as often as dogs lol. I am not working at all right now so I have an open schedule for the most part. And to be honest with you I think that I probably should have reached out to Rover a long time ago . I do have two dogs of my own at home with me. I have an eight-year-old dog and a dog that's about to be 11 years old At my home I do have a fenced-in yard, and I can get additional dog food bowls if needed, I do not have any cats at this time.So I don't have a cat box here.
About: Hi my name is jenifer and I’ve been taking care of fur babies since I was 8. From family members to friends and ofc my own. Dog walking is an activity that brings me immense joy and fulfillment. The opportunity to spend time outdoors, interact with adorable canines, and contribute to their well-being is an experience like no other. I Recently got some free time and would love to walk all kinds of breeds from cats to dogs just seeing them happy makes me happy. I have 1 fur babie of my own. Bella my pitbull mix she’s 5 months old and a goofball that loves kisses and playing fetch. I care a lot about a dogs routine, safety and mental/physical stimulation because they all deserve the love and appreciation for being our companions.
