Personalized care for your dog or cat - Baxter
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Baxter
“Bobbi and her family took good care of Lotus! She was very flexible with her drop off and sent pictures of Lotus hanging out in her big backyard. I was a bit worried about her stairs given that my dog is 11 years old but he managed to go up and down to those few steep stairs just fine. Thanks Bobbi!”
“Julie, just like our first stay was again wonderful. So glad I found her and now would not go anywhere else. I left her a mess of a big bloodhouse who the night before chewed all his stitches out of his leg. I had a trip planned out of the country so could not postpone it. She did an amazing job. His open wound looked mostly closed and clean. Could not ask for better care. I highly recommend her.”
“Ian did a fantastic job keeping our Great Dane while we were out of town for a week. If I could give 6 stars I would. We were skeptical about leaving her with anyone, until we met Ian and his family. 10 out of 10, we definitely recommend.”
“Olive stayed w/ Christina & her husband for 4 wks while we were out of the country and she LOVED IT! I received many pictures of Olive and updates. I trust Christina with my baby! I’ll definitely call on her again. Olive had lots of fun and was happy with her 2 dogs also! They are sweet people!”
“Heather was so awesome with our little dog that has anxiety! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on how he was and he totally enjoyed staying there with her dogs and them. Thank you Heather for setting our hearts and minds at ease while we were on vacation! We couldn’t have asked for anyone any better!”
“Our first time using Rover for care to our 2 dogs. We found Sydney and she was available as her calendar showed. She was wonderful and a great communicator. Our dogs were so relaxed upon picking them up. Greatly recommend Sydney.”
“So glad we found Rover.com and Justin! He is the BEST pet "dad"! Our Stella loves getting to spend time with Justin! When we took her to his house this time, Stella ran from the car to Justin's front door and barked, wanting in! It's wonderful to know that Stella is happy & cared for, when we can't take her with us. THANK YOU, JUSTIN! ❤️”
“Jennifer & her family have been amazing with looking after our girl Yara, and making her feel right at home in their house. She has been flexible with drop off & pick up times, and also keeping us well informed with pics and videos. She has also been accommodating to our dog’s particular behavior needs (food aggression) and adjusted so everyone stays safe and comfortable! We already have more dates on the calendar with her and will be booking more!”
“Shelby did amazing watching our puppy! Our puppy was well taken care of and most likely did not want to leave lol. They spoiled her and did their best to spend the most time with her! Shelby notified me every time they were doing stuff and made sure to check in! Shelby is amazing and I will definitely let her watch my dogs in the future!!”
“Erica was amazing! She kindly took on Bruce with no complaints even though he was a puppy. She kept me updated everyday and sent numerous photos for me to view which helped us stress less about leaving Bruce after just welcoming him into our family not too long ago. Erica is well prepped with toys, snacks, and play areas for any cat or dog and I highly recommend her for your pup or kitty!”
“Sarah responded quickly and concisely, was pleasant, and took great care of my dog. I almost felt bad taking the dog away from her 4 year old kid. Will book with Sarah again if she is available next time I need a dog sitter.”
About: I am an animal lover. I have three dogs of my own, all small rescues. I love big dogs but can’t have them in our tiny house. I am a full time nurse practitioner but take care of animals on my days off. I know how hard it is to find loyal and trustworthy people to care for my animals. That is why I wanted to provide this service. Also, walking and playing with dogs and cats is fun. We also travel and are interested in keeping dogs during travel. My husband and I work together to make sure our dogs are outside regularly throughout the day. I will only be taking appointments on my days off, so my schedule is a little sporadic. For overnight stays, I need to have walked your dogs at least 4-5 times and/or completed a trial of doggy day care to make sure your dog gets along with my personal animals.
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”

“Evelyn always take such great care of our Stevie girl and takes fantastic pictures of her! She also does a great job at communicating with us if anything changes on either end and at the end of taking care of our baby. Highly recommend her!”
About: I am new to sitting for kitties and I’ve only had three weeks of experience with them so do not pay attention to the years of experience because that is NOT true, but I have one of my own who I’ve had for four years! Her name is Pickles and she is my entire world and I could never see my life without her. I am experienced with more feisty cats because I’ve been clawed many times with my cat so it does not phase me. With more shy cats I like to give them their space and let them come to me if they choose!
About: My parents have taken care of 40 cats, and counting, in the last 28 years. This included four dogs that questioned their own relationship to these critters. It’s safe to say I’ve experienced the wide range, just from family care alone, to care for your pet. In addition, I’ve worked as a Kennel Technician in a boarding facility and have customer experience with high-risk canines and environment training sessions. I’m openly available. Weekends will specify accordingly and I can accommodate! Check my calendar for more information. If you need another time, then let me know! Knowing your canine can trust their handler is important, no matter the situation. In my zone of safety, I ensure clients understand that I’m wanting a safe time too.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 7 years, ranging from the furry to the scaled. I’ve had to the privilege of being able to take care of fur babies when their family is away, cause I know if it was me I’d want the best care for them.
“Daniela is amazing, she took such good care of my pup Stella, made sure she got great exercise, sent the cutest pictures, and was great at communicating with me during her drop ins! 10/10 recommend and would trust her to watch my dog anytime.”
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I have experience providing attentive care, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand cats have different needs compared to dogs so I take the time to provide personalized care that keeps the purrs coming. Your furry friend’s well-being is my top priority!
About: Hello! My name is Jalayne and I am an animal caretaker! I do this because I Love it! It's more than the money for me, for me it's about getting to spend time with the animals, give the pet owners a peace of mind, and making the situation much easier for everyone. I currently have 3 senior dogs of my own, 2 young dogs and my husband has a puppy that I look after as well. We have 2 inside kitties and 1 bunny too! We have 4 outside we take care of also. We even have had chickens! I love all kinds of animals and I am willing to care for any kind you have! In the past I lightly volunteered at an animal shelter, wildlife rehabilitation center, and even worked with a groomer as a bather for a few weeks! I would love to tell you more about myself and my experience if you like so please don't hesitate to messege me anytime. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! I currently work at the school at the moment so I'm usually free any time as the hours are minimal. I'll soon be a stay at home parent again so I'll be home 100%. On Sundays I go to church in the mornings and maybe out to eat afterwards. I also have church services on Wednesday evenings. I have a very large fenced yard with a gate. I shut the gate to keep in very large dogs but if I board a small dog I'd leash him or her. But we are working on making the gaps covered since my dogs are so small as well. When the pets are in my care I make sure to update you with some photos every once in a while. And I will always contact you first if I have any questions! I am home majority of my day so most of my time is available just for this! I love meeting new pets of all kinds! I have a very big yard that I let dogs get some energy out and my kids will constantly play with them if they like! I'm able to kennel them if that's what you prefer and I try to go by what the owners regularly do to make it easier on the pet.
“Erica is a very hard working lady and she is willing to do whatever it takes to earn our kitties trust while we're away. I felt totally at ease knowing that they were in her capable hands. She even checked on them on her own time just to be sure they were okay. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: With around 10 years of experience taking care of many dogs of all types of breeds and sizes I have loved this line of work more than anything and the overall satisfaction of seeing the dogs and having them light up when they see me lights me up. There’s nothing more that I love than giving these amazing animals a great life or great experience! Many friends and family know me as being a caregiver to animals of all types and sizes but with dogs being where I shine best. I am currently just working part time buying & selling so I have all the flexibility In The world to make and work with pretty much anyones schedule and help them care for their animals whenever they are unable or busy. I currently have a large fenced in yard with 2 dogs of my own but at this time pet care at my home will have to be a case by case thing otherwise I will take care of your dog at your home and care for them as if they were my own pet. I have no problem crating them either if that is what necessary or preferred
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and love my job as a veterinary technician! I’d be happy to care for yours too! I currently work 3 days a week for 14 hours a day. So the other 4 days are fully available for any kind of pet care needed! My job also offers boarding during the day, so if it lands on a day that I work, your baby is more than welcome to come to work with me and getting all the love from me and my wonderful colleagues. I think personal play time with animals is the most important time for every baby! Helping pets live a happy and healthy life is my main priority whether that includes walks, play time, cuddling and hanging out, or offering them comfort when their owners are away.
About: Even when I was little I’ve had a connection with animals. I’ve always been able to connect with the hard headed animals or the animals that have lost their trust in humanity. Animals seem to trust me, maybe not right away but they learn quickly. So if you’re leaving them for a bit and they need a potty break or you are taking a vacation and need an animal sitter or my favorite, if you are getting up in miles on your life and need help caring for your faithful friend daily, contact me. I’m here for you and them! I am helping care for a family member that has dementia (I live with her), so working long days at a place of business does not fit into what my family members needs are. Being a pet sitter has afforded me the ability to be present in her life as her needs arise and change but also allows me to be of service to the voiceless. Animals have always had a soft spot in my heart, this is my way of giving back to them for the years of love they have shown me and us in the past. Not only do I care for your pets needs and try and think ahead for them, I also care for your needs. Collecting the mail, cleaning up accidents, keeping your house clean, this builds a trust that is unrivaled in and amongst animal lovers.
“Suzanne was great! She worked with me for just the right schedule of stop-in visits and overnights to take care of my anxious cat. Watered plants and generally looked after everything. Made the trip better knowing she was here.”

About: I grew up on a farm, where I was always taking care of animals. My passion is to make animals happy. I have always gotten asked to take care of theirs animals while they r gone. I would love to work full time pet care! I just moved to texas and would love to just live in pets all the time. My goal is to spoil all of my pets, and anyone else’s pets. As long as the pet is happy I will be happy. Old or young, I will love them!
About: My journey with pets began at the age of 8 when I welcomed my first furbaby, Fifi, a miniature schnauzer, into my life. Over the past 13 years, she's been my constant companion, now a cherished senior at 13. A dozen years later, I welcomed Letty, an energetic American bully, into our family. Letty's love for play contrasts beautifully with Fifi's penchant for sleep, offering the best of both worlds. My experience extends beyond pet ownership; having worked at an animal clinic, I'm adept at a range of caregiving tasks from cleaning and feeding to administering medication, injections, and grooming needs like nail clipping and anal gland care. I currently work for Amazon in the HR department, I work 4 days out of the week (SUN-WED) from 6:30am to 5:00pm. I am flexible so please let me know what is needed so we could work something out. I offer pet sitting services with a fenced yard and two furry companions to keep your pets company. I am flexible and can accommodate any special needs your pets may have. Prior to their stay, I request a list of your pet's likes and dislikes to ensure their comfort. Additionally, I prioritize exercise, provide nail trims if necessary, and ensure they always have access to water and a comfortable environment. I use to work in an animal clinic for 2 years so if any medication is needed to be given or injections, I am more than happy to do it. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

I currently work for Amazon in the HR department, I work 4 days out of the week (SUN-WED) from 6:30am to 5:00pm. I am flexible so please let me know what is needed so we could work something out. I offer pet sitting services with a fenced yard and two furry companions to keep your pets company. I am flexible and can accommodate any special needs your pets may have. Prior to their stay, I request a list of your pet's likes and dislikes to ensure their comfort. Additionally, I prioritize exercise, provide nail trims if necessary, and ensure they always have access to water and a comfortable environment. I use to work in an animal clinic for 2 years so if any medication is needed to be given or injections, I am more than happy to do it. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and love my job as a veterinary technician! I’d be happy to care for yours too! I currently work 3 days a week for 14 hours a day. So the other 4 days are fully available for any kind of pet care needed! My job also offers boarding during the day, so if it lands on a day that I work, your baby is more than welcome to come to work with me and getting all the love from me and my wonderful colleagues. I think personal play time with animals is the most important time for every baby! Helping pets live a happy and healthy life is my main priority whether that includes walks, play time, cuddling and hanging out, or offering them comfort when their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl I have always loved taking care of animals so this would be a perfect fit for me! I am currently available most weekdays and all weekend I go to college in Tyler so my hours may vary. Mondays I am in college from 2:30-4 and Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m in college from 9:30-12:20 I have my dog Nyla and I take her out pretty consistently to go potty, she also gets treats for good behavior or if she learns her tricks. I would love to take care of other people’s animals and I have years of experience
About: With around 10 years of experience taking care of many dogs of all types of breeds and sizes I have loved this line of work more than anything and the overall satisfaction of seeing the dogs and having them light up when they see me lights me up. There’s nothing more that I love than giving these amazing animals a great life or great experience! Many friends and family know me as being a caregiver to animals of all types and sizes but with dogs being where I shine best. I am currently just working part time buying & selling so I have all the flexibility In The world to make and work with pretty much anyones schedule and help them care for their animals whenever they are unable or busy. I currently have a large fenced in yard with 2 dogs of my own but at this time pet care at my home will have to be a case by case thing otherwise I will take care of your dog at your home and care for them as if they were my own pet. I have no problem crating them either if that is what necessary or preferred
About: I have had pets my entire life. I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian and live on a huge farm with as many animals as I can imagine. While this is not my overall goal job, it would be a dream to be able to care and spend my days with dogs and/or cats of any & every kind! When I was about 15 I volunteered at the SPCA for about a year and a half, along with caring & sitting my own animals that have included cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and even reptiles! Just about anything you can name to be a house pet, I’ve had and/or cared for/sitted! What you’re looking for in a sitter is what I can provide! I’m open to just about any and every animal, any time of the day, whenever you need it, I’ll be there! I am in school part time but still have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have two dogs of my own and care for them on an hourly basis so a couple extra pups is no big deal! I am only in school two days a week and am available full time other than that! I have a large fenced yard and two sweet girl dogs that can keep your pup company! I can also crate your dog if needed! If we are in your home, I will do every part of your normal routine & more to ensure your pup feels safe & comfortable!
About: We have always had pets in our home since I was a baby. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards. They have all lived happy, loved lives with us. I am currently working part time, so can fit walking or sitting into my schedule easily. Do not mind the travel time to take care of your loved one. We have 3 well behaved, well loved dogs who are good at socializing with new friends. We take the dogs on 2 walks a day minimum and spend a few hours outside playing and walking in the sun. We do have a kennel if needed and if staying overnight, the kennel stays in my room with me. I will adhere to the owners wishes as far as feedings go.
About: Hey y’all 👋 my name is Bonnie Lou, and my husband and I have been caring for pups for almost 2 decades. Our fur babies have always been family to us and we do everything we can to ensure they have the happiest lives possible. Your pups will get the same treatment when they are here with us! Getting to watch your furry friends would be a joy for us on our 15 acre homestead, we share with family. My Husband and I work from home all days of the week so your pups will have a companion the majority of the time. We are both fitness enthusiasts so your pups will get as many walks as they desire. We have cleared paths throughout the property to have nice shaded walking area so they aren’t getting overheated or burning their feet on the asphalt. I care for your fur babies according to your instructions. When they are at our home, they are a part of our family. I want them to be as comfortable and relaxed as possible, so they have full range of the house. Please, bring their toys as my husband and I love playing fetch and whatever games your furry friends play at home. When I come to your house, I am very careful to follow any and all instructions given.
About: Even when I was little I’ve had a connection with animals. I’ve always been able to connect with the hard headed animals or the animals that have lost their trust in humanity. Animals seem to trust me, maybe not right away but they learn quickly. So if you’re leaving them for a bit and they need a potty break or you are taking a vacation and need an animal sitter or my favorite, if you are getting up in miles on your life and need help caring for your faithful friend daily, contact me. I’m here for you and them! I am helping care for a family member that has dementia (I live with her), so working long days at a place of business does not fit into what my family members needs are. Being a pet sitter has afforded me the ability to be present in her life as her needs arise and change but also allows me to be of service to the voiceless. Animals have always had a soft spot in my heart, this is my way of giving back to them for the years of love they have shown me and us in the past. Not only do I care for your pets needs and try and think ahead for them, I also care for your needs. Collecting the mail, cleaning up accidents, keeping your house clean, this builds a trust that is unrivaled in and amongst animal lovers.
About: I've had a dog since I was in 3rd grade. I have had a connection with dogs ever since. I think they are great animals and great companions. I like each individual dog's personality because they are all different. We homeschool our kids and take care of our three dogs on a daily basis. They get two walks a day (the dogs and kids 🤣) We do not have a fenced yard, however, our dogs go out numerous times a day with our supervision to run around and play. We take them on a minimum of 2 walks a day. We have older kids in the house who love dogs as well. We treat our dogs like our kids and will do the same for your fur baby.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

“Bobbi and her family took good care of Lotus! She was very flexible with her drop off and sent pictures of Lotus hanging out in her big backyard. I was a bit worried about her stairs given that my dog is 11 years old but he managed to go up and down to those few steep stairs just fine. Thanks Bobbi!”
“Julie, just like our first stay was again wonderful. So glad I found her and now would not go anywhere else. I left her a mess of a big bloodhouse who the night before chewed all his stitches out of his leg. I had a trip planned out of the country so could not postpone it. She did an amazing job. His open wound looked mostly closed and clean. Could not ask for better care. I highly recommend her.”
“Ian did a fantastic job keeping our Great Dane while we were out of town for a week. If I could give 6 stars I would. We were skeptical about leaving her with anyone, until we met Ian and his family. 10 out of 10, we definitely recommend.”
“Olive stayed w/ Christina & her husband for 4 wks while we were out of the country and she LOVED IT! I received many pictures of Olive and updates. I trust Christina with my baby! I’ll definitely call on her again. Olive had lots of fun and was happy with her 2 dogs also! They are sweet people!”
“Heather was so awesome with our little dog that has anxiety! They sent us pictures and kept us updated on how he was and he totally enjoyed staying there with her dogs and them. Thank you Heather for setting our hearts and minds at ease while we were on vacation! We couldn’t have asked for anyone any better!”
“Our first time using Rover for care to our 2 dogs. We found Sydney and she was available as her calendar showed. She was wonderful and a great communicator. Our dogs were so relaxed upon picking them up. Greatly recommend Sydney.”
“Shelby did amazing watching our puppy! Our puppy was well taken care of and most likely did not want to leave lol. They spoiled her and did their best to spend the most time with her! Shelby notified me every time they were doing stuff and made sure to check in! Shelby is amazing and I will definitely let her watch my dogs in the future!!”
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”

“My two havanese pups stayed with Charlene for 10 days. I received many updates and pictures during this time all showing them content- relaxing or out on walks. I was worried because my dogs have different diets and one needs daily meds, but she handled it perfectly. As a bonus she was able to do their grooming and they looked adorable when I picked them up. We will definitely use her again.”
