Patrick sent lots of pictures and videos showing Nyla was enjoying herself and living her best life lol. I’ve definitely found my new long term fur baby sitter. Thank you Patrick ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Anthony. From the beginning he was very responsive and thorough. He was flexible working around my schedule and did a great job with my dogs. 5 stars all around.”
“Zeus had an amazing time. He looked so at ease and relaxed in the pictures that Marci sent me. He had a stressful trip traveling to Texas so to see him look just as comfortable as he does in his own home was amazing. I can't recommend Marci enough. She did a GREAT job with him.”
“Simply the Best! Sophie and Baylie loved Sheila. They were very well taken care of and spoiled when I returned from an 8 day trip. Not sure that Baylie wanted to come home. I received lots of pictures and videos. Sheila and her husband are awesome.”
“What a great weekend my dog had with Richard and Stephanie. They were very mindful of my sweet senior dog. So much love and tender care. He sent pictures and videos of her and her antics. This is the first time she hasn't lost weight or hasn't eaten the first day of her stay. I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“Nancy as always was fantastic . We were a little nervous with us getting a new dog and she was only 7 months and possibly having her period. But Nancy was ok with it and handled our new baby well. I have always gone with Nancy she is reliable and understanding and most of all she sends us pictures and videos of our fur babies . I highly recommend Nancy .”
“Joshua was beyond helpful for this first time, very nervous dog mom. With a pretty timid puppy, I was concerned about boarding, but Joshua was overly communicative, helpful and gave great feedback at the end of the stay. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jill was great watching our 2 huskies! We used her on two different occasions, a wedding rehearsal pick up/daycare, and a wedding pick up (our dog was in our wedding) including boarding over night. Both times she picked up our dogs and brought them to her house to watch. She was very responsive to my messages and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her (I have trust issues and an escape artist)! She was also helpful in recommending a martingale collar for my dog. We also did a meet and greet beforehand at her house which helped me feel more at ease. Her and her husband are very friendly and their dogs are adorable! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren & Justin were beyond AMAZING!!! Charlotte did not want to leave! Lauren was in contact contact sending updates & photos of our pup while we were away on vacation! They even agreed to meet prior to her stay, so that when we dropped her off she felt safe and at home? We hope to get to use their services again...but know there is a good chance our girl will try to stay home with them for forever? Huge thanks again to Lauren & Justin for your care of our lil puppy!”

“I’ve used a couple different people on Rover to watch my dog Goose and Dayna is by far my favorite. She treated my boy like he was hers and I’m pretty sure he would rather i don’t pick him up from her lol. Anytime I go out of town I will definitely be using Dayna again.”
“This is my second time booking with Natalia and I genuinely love having her as our dog sitter. Her and her family are so welcoming towards our pets, consistent updates, and always respond within 2-3 hours. Highly recommend”
“Samantha just kept our quirky dog Chance overnight for the first time. Chance was well cared for and had a great time playing with one of her dogs as evidenced in pictures. Not only is Samantha a dog lover but she is thoughtful and organized about attending to your dog while they are in her care. I will definitely be asking her to care for Chance again.”
“Lucyna is great and I will rebook with her again! She took excellent care of our dog and was very responsive. She sent multiple pictures and a recap message of each day, which was awesome. I will recommend her to all our friends and family!”
“Absolutely the most amazing pup sitter! My Pete was so happy in every photo and video sent. My dog mama heart was so at ease leaving him knowing I could depend on them to give him the love and attention he is used to getting at home. I am so thankful and highly recommend if you need a sitter for your babies!!!”

“"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sara, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly cares about dogs and their well-being. Sara took the time to get to know my dogs, Zoey & Buster, and made sure to understand their routine, preferences, and any special needs. Sara did two drop in visits each day & besides providing loving care for my dogs, she watered my plants, brought mail in, and made sure the house was ok. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. It was evident that Sara provided my senior dogs the human touch they need which left my dogs happy and content when I returned home. I highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Her passion for animals and attentive care made all the difference for me and my two senior dogs. Thank you so much for your wonderful service!"”

“Kasey did a great job watching my two cats on very short notice over the holidays! She was very good about sending me pictures and updates from her drop-in visits. I had never been away from my cats for this long before, but I was very comfortable knowing that Kasey was taking care of them. I know she made sure to give my cats some extra attention and love during her check-ins, and both cats warmed up to her very fast. Both my babies seemed very happy and content when I returned from my trip. I would ask Kasey to watch my cats again in the future!”

I also have experience caring for other people’s pets in their homes through pet sitting for family and friends. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and to follow their normal routines as closely as possible.

I'm a mom of one teenager who is an animal lover as well I'm always up at 6 am to see my daughter off to school on the bus and my husband to work I'm a stay-at-home mom I keep the house clean and other stuff around the house but I mostly love spending time with our 2 dogs and one cat When watching your loved one in my home I want your pets to feel at home and comfortable I want my house to be your pet's vacation away from Home my house is a big animal lover so your pets will get love and care with my family.
About: I’m a retired educator and animal lover with the time and flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for my own animals for years, completed two long-distance puppy transports from DFW to Charlotte and Los Angeles, and have repeat sitting experience with my cousin’s two dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and patient caring for your pets and home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications if needed. What sets me apart is that I have the time to truly focus on your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also believe good communication matters, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet would receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, or quiet time. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I will always treat your home with respect and care while making your pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any special needs to help pets feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I’m dependable, calm, and attentive, and I believe in keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I grew up on a ranch caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which taught me responsibility, patience, and compassion. I’ve always had pets in my home, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I have pet-sitting experience and take pride in providing the best care possible, as if it were my own. Above all, I have a deep passion for animals of all kinds, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside my current apprenticeship as an equine farrier. While my schedule can vary week to week, I am very intentional about the time I commit to each pet and only accept bookings I know I can fully prioritize. I am committed to following each client’s instructions and routine, and to being respectful, careful, and safe while caring for your pet in your home.
About: Since I was a child I have been in charge of caring for all of our families animals. This has given me experience in care of so many different animals. I have experience from abandoned newborn animals to senior care. My animal experience mostly is with dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, birds, pigs, Guinea pigs, pet spiders, snakes, and even a cayman. I have no full time commitments so I am open to helping people and their animals any time it is needed. I would prefer morning daytime or evening. I have 3 cats and 2 small dogs. We also have a fenced in backyard. I also have no children so my animals are my babies.

“This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Patrick made me feel comfortable from day one. Patrick sent lots of pictures and videos showing Nyla was enjoying herself and living her best life lol. I’ve definitely found my new long term fur baby sitter. Thank you Patrick ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Anthony. From the beginning he was very responsive and thorough. He was flexible working around my schedule and did a great job with my dogs. 5 stars all around.”
“Zeus had an amazing time. He looked so at ease and relaxed in the pictures that Marci sent me. He had a stressful trip traveling to Texas so to see him look just as comfortable as he does in his own home was amazing. I can't recommend Marci enough. She did a GREAT job with him.”
“Simply the Best! Sophie and Baylie loved Sheila. They were very well taken care of and spoiled when I returned from an 8 day trip. Not sure that Baylie wanted to come home. I received lots of pictures and videos. Sheila and her husband are awesome.”
“What a great weekend my dog had with Richard and Stephanie. They were very mindful of my sweet senior dog. So much love and tender care. He sent pictures and videos of her and her antics. This is the first time she hasn't lost weight or hasn't eaten the first day of her stay. I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“Joshua was beyond helpful for this first time, very nervous dog mom. With a pretty timid puppy, I was concerned about boarding, but Joshua was overly communicative, helpful and gave great feedback at the end of the stay. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jill was great watching our 2 huskies! We used her on two different occasions, a wedding rehearsal pick up/daycare, and a wedding pick up (our dog was in our wedding) including boarding over night. Both times she picked up our dogs and brought them to her house to watch. She was very responsive to my messages and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her (I have trust issues and an escape artist)! She was also helpful in recommending a martingale collar for my dog. We also did a meet and greet beforehand at her house which helped me feel more at ease. Her and her husband are very friendly and their dogs are adorable! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren & Justin were beyond AMAZING!!! Charlotte did not want to leave! Lauren was in contact contact sending updates & photos of our pup while we were away on vacation! They even agreed to meet prior to her stay, so that when we dropped her off she felt safe and at home? We hope to get to use their services again...but know there is a good chance our girl will try to stay home with them for forever? Huge thanks again to Lauren & Justin for your care of our lil puppy!”
“Carlos, Jessica, and their daughter did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Dodger, while we were out of town. I highly recommend them and we will absolutely have them watch Dodger again in the future!”
“I’ve used a couple different people on Rover to watch my dog Goose and Dayna is by far my favorite. She treated my boy like he was hers and I’m pretty sure he would rather i don’t pick him up from her lol. Anytime I go out of town I will definitely be using Dayna again.”
“Samantha just kept our quirky dog Chance overnight for the first time. Chance was well cared for and had a great time playing with one of her dogs as evidenced in pictures. Not only is Samantha a dog lover but she is thoughtful and organized about attending to your dog while they are in her care. I will definitely be asking her to care for Chance again.”

My dog mama heart was so at ease leaving him knowing I could depend on them to give him the love and attention he is used to getting at home. I am so thankful and highly recommend if you need a sitter for your babies!!!”
“Highly recommend Aldrin and Teresa! They took very good care of my baby Kira and sent lots of updates and cute pictures. She looked so cozy and had all the comforts of being at home. I didnt have to worry about her one bit while I was out of town. Will book again! Thank you! ❤️”
