“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”

“I contacted Megan VERY last minute after the original arrangement didn’t work. The original home we selected, the initial meet my CoCo was very anxious and wasn’t comfortable at all (she even growled at the male that lived in the home). I immediately knew I couldn’t leave her there, so I contacted Megan and she was very responsive and told me to bring her right over. As soon as she opened the door, my dog went right up to her a licked her hand. And was relaxed and comfortable in her home. While I was gone, I received videos and pictures frequently. My CoCo loved being with Megan and her daughter. I will definitely be using her in the future.”

I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Jennifer took great care of Bella. She sent pictures and a video. I felt very comfortable that she was being well care for while at her home. She was responsive when I would reach out and although Bella was happy to be home, I think she really enjoyed her time at Jennifer's. I will be a repeat customer for sure.”
“This is your best local sitter! I’m a sitter myself but was traveling out of town to visit family. This sitter accommodated my short notice and got my dog settled in quickly. He even provided valuable updates of my dog’s stay. Malcolm was very communicative and helpful when I was ready to pick up my dog as well. A key element about this sitter is his professionalism and confidence in what he does and that makes me feel at peace knowing my dog will be in good hands.”

About: At a young age I began tagging along with my aunt to her dog training classes. I learned the ins and outs of dog (human) handling and how to show respect and love to animals. My family and extended family always had several animals, and the pets became an important part of my family by supporting me through difficult times. During my experience in the military, I pet sat on multiple occasions for peers that were deployed, underway, or visiting family in their home towns. I have a background check through the government and hold a security clearance. I am currently active duty military on terminal leave, transitioning to the civilian sector. My goal is to find a long term career to support my family; however, I need to find income until the hiring process is complete. For that reason, I believe Rover is the perfect job for me. I absolutely adore animals- I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 Guinea pigs of my own- and I cannot think of a better way to bring money in to support my family at this time. I am currently not working; being on terminal leave in the military means I am not working but still on contract through February. I anticipate (and hope) I will be hired in a long term career position in cybersecurity. Due to the nature of cyber security positions, it can take months to be hired on and I am eager to care for your animals in that time. However, it should be noted that my long term goal is an alternative career. The hope is to find a remote position and that will allow for me to continue with my Rover experience. My dogs are fed twice a day, have an automated water bowl that is connected to our hose outside as well as water indoors, and we enjoy playing in the backyard to exercise. My animals enjoy cuddles on the couch and playtime and I give them a healthy balance of each, depending on which animal (I have both elderly dogs and a puppy). For my clients, I am happy to safely and securely exercise your dog. This looks different for each client so I cannot give a blanket statement. I believe dogs should be leashed or fenced at all times for safety reasons and will absolutely do that with my clients dogs, as they are not familiar with me and may behave differently with me than their owners. I believe that even though I am employed by the client, I am still a guest in their home and will treat their home, animals, and belongings with respect and care. Being from the military, safety and security has been instilled in me as a priority at all times. I am trained in situational awareness to protect your animal while exercising. I believe animals give us so much of their heart and we owe it to them to give that love back and protect them and their well being.
About: I love being around dogs and would love to take yours for a walk! I grew up with a giant and miniature schnauzer and they were the best playmates! I adopted my first dog in April of 2022 and he is my favorite part of everyday. I have been a dog sitter since 2013 and have loved every minute of it! I am training for a half-marathon and would love to bring your pet along with me if they are high energy. I have experience with many different types of dogs due to my last job working at a dog kennel for over a year! You know what they say, a tired dog is a good dog! It would be my pleasure to walk and play with your dogs! I love any and all breeds and I am willing to adapt to what your pet needs! I work full time and am looking for evening and weekend walks. It is the best way to unwind from a busy workday. My dog, Banjo, would love to have a friend to walk with if your dog likes other dogs, if not then I can give them one-on-one attention. If your pup needs a short walk or a longer walk, I can accommodate their needs. I am currently acclimating my dog to the Texas heat and we go 5 minutes longer every two days.

“I would definitely recommend Michele as a sitter for anyone. She kept me updated all day with photos and kept my dog busy the entire time. I will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”

“It was such a pleasure meeting and working with Brianne. She was flexible with her schedule and easy to communicate with. She did a wonderful job making me feel at ease being away from golden girl, Rosie, by sending daily photos and updates during her stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter!”
“Susan was wonderful from the very beginning. From our initial introduction, it was clear how caring and attentive she is, and my dog was immediately comfortable going with her. She sent regular update photos throughout the day, which was so reassuring and really put my mind at ease. It meant a lot knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Jennifer took great care of Bella. She sent pictures and a video. I felt very comfortable that she was being well care for while at her home. She was responsive when I would reach out and although Bella was happy to be home, I think she really enjoyed her time at Jennifer's. I will be a repeat customer for sure.”
“This is your best local sitter! I’m a sitter myself but was traveling out of town to visit family. This sitter accommodated my short notice and got my dog settled in quickly. He even provided valuable updates of my dog’s stay. Malcolm was very communicative and helpful when I was ready to pick up my dog as well. A key element about this sitter is his professionalism and confidence in what he does and that makes me feel at peace knowing my dog will be in good hands.”
“Hugh is wonderful with our 2 dogs. This was the second time they stayed with him and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. He gives updates and send pictures so you know your babies are doing well. We highly recommend him as a safe, loving, trustworthy person to care for your precious babies.”

I highly recommend Mary and Rob and our Lumpy will be returning next trip.”
“OBESSEDDDD. Scooty Booty had the best time staying with Sierra and Liam! They were so responsive and their property is every dogs dream. They sent videos and pictures often and are so nice in person as well. I actually feel a little guilty for sending my dog to a kennel all this time when he could've been enjoying a big back yard and some 24/7 TLC this whole time!!!”
“My puppy stayed over for about 11 hours with Yvonne and her family. They provided excellent services to my Snow. She always sent updates/pics of what he was doing and he enjoyed being around her and her kids. They treated him like family. Highly recommend having Yvonne babysit your fur babies!”
