“We highly recommend Lilia. She took care of our pup for 2 weeks and our pup was super happy to be with her and other dog buddies. She sends great photos and updates us regularly. She only takes smaller dogs so we had no worry of our dog with bigger dogs! Her backyard is secure and set up for puppies to enjoy.”

“Lola had a great experience staying with Yujie! She got to spend 5 days with him and his dog Brownie and cat Stormie, which she LOVED. When I picked her up, I could tell she had been well taken care of. She wagged her tail the whole way home. Yujie was also great at communicating + sent daily updates! I am really grateful for his help! 🙏🏼”

“Amy was an absolute savior! I had a situation arise shortly before a scheduled trip and Amy was able to accommodate my needs and took care of my dog like her own! She provided daily updates on Miesha (my pup) with pictures and provided great attentive care to her. She took Miesha for walks and let her out 3+ times a day. I received Miesha back just as I had left her. I highly recommend Amy for a pet sitter and will definitely use her again in the future!”

“I am so thankful we found Aimee! She truly goes above and beyond and treats Lua like her own. Aimee is very conscientious and understands dog behavior and needs. I really appreciate how she is always thinking about what’s best for my dog when in her care. She consistently sends updates, videos, and pictures and I could tell Lua was having a great time. It made me feel so relaxed and comfortable even though I was initially very anxious to leave Lua for so many days. If you feel the same leaving your baby, trust Aimee! I’ve already booked Aimee for another 10 day vacation and will continue to book with her any time after that without hesitation.”

I felt comfortable knowing Abbey was getting lots of play and cuddle time with a great family. Will definitely book again.”
“Denise was awesome! She sent updates and photos throughout Bentley’s stay which made me comfortable and reassured. Bentley seemed to enjoy her large backyard to play in.”
“Savanna and her family were wonderful! They took excellent care of our pups over Christmas, with great communication and plenty of photos. The dogs even got a special treat on Christmas Day, which I’m sure they loved. Thank you for taking such great care of them!”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”

And for the week that she took care of GIGI, she proved to be an outstanding pet sitter! Daily, she sent me great pictures of GIGI relaxed and playful with Regan. I especially appreciated that Regan seemed very mature minded and serious about her responsibility for taking care of GIGI. I would absolutely recommend Regan to anyone who desired a professional and gentle pet sitter! A+++”

“I'm thrilled to have found Paul and Karina for my puppy's first dog-sitting experience. Communication was clear and prompt, with Paul even explaining how the Rover platform works. We arranged meets and greets quickly, where they showed us their place and met each other. Paul even offered to extend my dog's stay to make full use of the day care time. During my dog's stay, they provided regular updates and photos, showing how happy he was. Paul also suggested a new training area for my pup, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, I'm very pleased with Paul and Karina and would love to use their services again in the future.”
“Yesenia is such an incredible sitter! We have been sending our pup to her for a little over a year and each time my pup is even more excited to go. She is such a great care taker and was super flexible with us for day care scheduling when our work schedules shifted. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person for their furry friend!”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Aimee was so sweet and caring with our pup! She was communicative and sent us photos/videos with updates. Elvie was very comfortable in her care and we will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Yujie is an incredibly responsible dog sitter. He made sure to take time to meet Monty beforehand, which helped us confirm they were a great fit and left us with a good feeling. During the visit, he took wonderful care of Monty and sent us pictures throughout the day! Monty clearly loved being with him and is eager to visit again soon.”
“Derik was great. We were passing through and needed a sitter for a few hours. He took them for a walk, and let them just acclimate in their own time. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed
“Willow had a great time playing with the other pups and was well taken care of by Erika. I got photo and video updates during her stay. Communication was great and response time was very fast. Erika was flexible for us even when our plans changed and we had to pick up Willow early.”
“Deanna provided amazing care to my husky puppy! She was very accommodating with dropping her off. I could tell my pup was very happy at the end of the day with Deanna, and slept the night away when she got home to me with all the activity she was given. Definitely will be having Deanna host my puppy in the future!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, worked at a vet clinic when I was younger, and became a doggie foster as an adult. I have experience caring for senior pups as well. I'll treat your pup as a loved family member. Rest assured, your fur baby will be in good hands. I am mostly a stay a home mom. I take my dog to the dog park daily, and when the weather is nice we will walk Town Lake. I have cameras in my home and on the property. If I am not home I can take a look at how the dogs are doing. I also have a fenced in yard.
“Stephanie is great! Communication was clear and prompt. I received great updates and pictures. She has a beautiful yard and it is obvious that she really cares for the dogs she watches. I had a completely worry-free time knowing my pup was in great hands!”
“Kara is fantastic! If I could add more stars I would. Everything I was looking for and more!! I have 2 high maintenance babies and she takes such good care of them at doggy daycare. I receive tons of pictures and some videos too which I ADORE! It truly makes me feel so much better while I’m at work because I know my angels are towing loved and taken care of. Thanks Kara and family! You have made such a huge difference in our lives already ❤️.”

About: I know how important it is to make sure your pets are well taken care of while you're away, and I'm here to do just that! I’m a teacher/coach enjoying summer break! I am home full time for the summer, and would love to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have a super chill golden retriever, Mason, to keep your fur baby company! I also have a cat named Cali who is very friendly as well, but will probably stow herself away when company is over (cat things).
“Aryanna is amazing! She was reliable and very attentive and caring to my dog Wuzzy. I also really appreciate how communicative she is and her detailed and in depth reports she wrote me on her visit. Thank you Aryanna!!”
About: I spent more than a decade loving a very large, very opinionated German Shepherd named Ruta through epilepsy, severe allergies, endless medication schedules, and his senior years, so “high-maintenance” pets don’t scare me. I tend to love them even harder. These days I’m supervised by Edwin, my mini Aussie rescue, who has strong opinions about other dogs, delivery trucks, and apparently several completely innocent squirrels. Living with him has made me very comfortable with boundaries, reactivity, slow introductions, and the fact that not every dog wants to be everybody’s friend. I’m also the person who genuinely wants the six-paragraph document explaining exactly how your dog likes breakfast. Give me the quirks, the routines, the medications, the weird little rules, the favorite toy, the thing they absolutely will not do unless you ask them in a very specific way. I want to know all of it. Basically: I take your pet seriously without taking myself too seriously. And yes, I will probably send you too many pictures. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, meds, couch hangs; tell me what they’re used to and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent. Tell me everything. What’s their routine? What makes them nervous? Are they an escape artist? A sock eater? Do they lose their mind when a skateboard goes by? How are they on leash? I’m big on respecting a pet’s boundaries and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’d much rather know about a quirk or trigger ahead of time than be surprised by it later.
“Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!”
“Very happy with the service that Cortney provided. She was attentive to my dog Kira. She provided a description of her visit and pictures. I would happily book with her again.”
“Jenna was so sweet with my mini Aussie Bucket. He is anxious & shy so when I got home and he was happy and taken care of -it made me feel so relieved that I found a good Walker! Will be booking her regularly!”
About: I've always had dogs in my life. I grew up with smaller dogs in my family, but when I moved off to college I didn't have as much time around them. It honestly took a minor toll on my mental health, because I actually believe dogs are the key to happiness. Once I moved to Arlington and my roommate had a dog (a medium sized), I knew I needed to surround myself with more. And what better way to get to know the community than to take care of the most important part of it! Working remotely gives me the incredible flexibility to make pet care a seamless part of my day. While I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, my job allows me to easily step away from my desk whenever needed. Whether that means taking your dog out for a mid-day potty break, going on an afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or giving a cat some quality cuddle time, I can accommodate your pet’s exact routine without delay. When I take on a pet sitting commitment, that work becomes my top priority. My flexible remote setup means I’m present, attentive, and available throughout the day - giving your pets the companionship and supervision they need so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m hosting your pet at my home or caring for them in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My own space is fully pet-proofed, safe, and secure for hosting, while in your home, I treat your property with absolute respect, adhering strictly to your house rules, routine, and security preferences. On walks and during yard play, I stay 100% focused on your pet - maintaining a secure grip on the leash, monitoring weather and pavement conditions, and actively avoiding potential hazards or unfamiliar dogs. Building trust starts with clear, reliable communication. I make a point to send frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. From double-checking fence latches to keeping strict safety routines, I take every precaution to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.
“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”
“Andy was GREAT with Eve. Took her on a long walk, send lots of photos and videos of a happy pup and played with her more at home. He also gave her dinner and stayed a little extra, which we so appreciated her having the company. He was very communicative and kind and Eve just loved him!”
About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.
