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.

Very easy to deal with. He sent pictures and updates during the visit. Our puppy was returned happy, healthy, and clean (he gives all the dogs a bath if they are there on Friday). Would happily use his services again if we need to board our dog.

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'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!

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.

I cannot praise Alyssa enough! There are no words to express my overwhelming gratitude for the level of care that Mia received. I was in CA and got a call from my fiancé that Mia was not eating and having frequent accidents. Alyssa brought Mia chicken, broth and her favorite treats to try and encourage her to eat ...thinking it was emotional due to my absence. But then she was getting worse and Alyssa took Mia to the vet and stayed on the phone with me until I could speak with the Vet staff because my fiancé could not leave work. She even made sure to be on call in case we needed her to pick up Mia if I couldn't get back to TX on time. Mia had emergency surgery and is doing great! Alyssa made sure that Mia and I had everything we needed during this scary situation. Thank you Alyssa!!!

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.

Hello I work full time and I'm also a full time college student. I'm available on the weekdays after 4 most of the time and on The Weeknd's whenever sometimes I work on saturdays and I get off at 12 pm. I'm very caring with my pets. I have a Frenchie so I know what it's like to be extra careful dealing with a dog that could easily get paralyzed from the legs. I have inclined stairs on my couches. and I also have a fenced yard with extra fencing around it in case of holes. I have plenty of toys to keep your fur animals safe

About: I have been around animals nearly all my life, growing up with dogs and owning both cats and dogs through adulthood. I spent some time volunteering in dog rescues in past years as well. I work a regular day job Mon-Fri, so I will more than likely be available evenings for check-in visits and walking, with more available during the weekend for both. Overnight care will be situational and schedule dependent. I am able to care for your pet however needed, whether that's just a quick walk around the block or an hour or so if in-house/yard feeding, playing, medication admittance.

About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my life. I have raised mixed breeds, collies, huskies and boston terriers. I love walking and hiking and will take my dogs with me for time in the outdoors. Your dog will get at least a 20 minute walk every day while in my care. My two Boston Terriers are friendly and love to play. I have a flexible schedule, so I have time to dote on your pets. I can let them out anytime they want to go. If I am running an errand, they will be alone for no more than two hours and will be put into a play pen or crate as needed while I am away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Your dog would be walked at least 20 minutes a day, weather permitting. I will send photos so that you can see how they are doing.

About: Originally from West Texas, I was raised caring for dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, pigs, goats, fish, even a llama! At the age of 18, I started working for my aunt's pet sitting business and gained a lot of experience caring for animals, administering medications, and maintaining others’ homes. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I can also take care of your plants and garden while away! I work from home and have a small business, so I’m flexible! I also have a baby, so he will come with, usually in the carrier. I’m able to provide care for pets in their home. I have numerous references that I’m happy to provide. I feel that one can sense the trustworthiness and integrity in others, which I’m confident you’ll find in me.

About: Hi! My names Monica, I am from Chicago, Il. I have Two wonderful fur boys named Remington and Ruger who are looking for some pups to hang with. I've been caring for dogs almost my whole life, I've never worked professionally except in home with a licensed veterinarian, but I have worked with a couple rescues! My house is a good size for a few dogs to hang out, eat, play and sleep of course! Older or younger no worries I've worked with all ages. I have big crates in case anyone gets feisty. I have a car for any emergencies! I live in a ranch style home, so not many stairs for any older dogs. My kids loves all dogs, they're being raised around lots of different breeds and we’re teaching them to not abuse or take advantage of dogs! I'm a stay at home mom so I am always home. always available for potty breaks, walks and feedings. Adding a dog or two to our home only adds to the fun! I have plenty of dog crates and baby gates, I have a fenced backyard and plenty of space for dogs to comfortably and safely eat without being bothered. I am a stay at home mom of three kids and two fur boy. I also have chickens! I have a very flexible schedule for all types of routines needed! I do my best to stick for specific owners routine schedules, potty breaks and feeding, any medications or bathing. Any special requests will be respected, such as crating or eating in separate rooms, whatever you need just let me know and I will try and make it work as best as possible!

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'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: 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: 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.

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!

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and proud dog and cat mom to 2 dogs and 5 cats. They are truly my fur babies, so I completely understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for yours. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I raised my youngest from a puppy and handled all of his training myself, so I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and training. My oldest dog takes medication and is a little slower these days, so I’m experienced with senior care and administering medications when needed. I do work short 4-hour shifts on some days. I am still available for overnight stays and house sitting, but during those bookings I would need to step away for up to 4 hours at a time for work. I will always return promptly and make sure your dog is let out, fed, walked, and given plenty of attention and love in between. Your pet’s comfort and care will always be a priority. If a booking is made at least two weeks in advance, I’m happy to request time off so I can be fully present and stay with your dog full-time, day and night. If you trust me with your babies, I promise to treat them like family. I'm currently working full time and doing dropins in the morning, midday and at night. If you need me then I can fit you in. I want to care for your pets. I have leashes, harnesses, treats, dog poop bags. I can bring whatever you need to watch your babies. I will care for your baby as my own and follow any instructions you give.

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.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!

About: Dogs and cats have always been part of my life. I have raised mixed breeds, collies, huskies and boston terriers. I love walking and hiking and will take my dogs with me for time in the outdoors. Your dog will get at least a 20 minute walk every day while in my care. My two Boston Terriers are friendly and love to play. I have a flexible schedule, so I have time to dote on your pets. I can let them out anytime they want to go. If I am running an errand, they will be alone for no more than two hours and will be put into a play pen or crate as needed while I am away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Your dog would be walked at least 20 minutes a day, weather permitting. I will send photos so that you can see how they are doing.

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 have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and lizards since I was 12. People have had me take care of their pets multiple times and I have had new clients within the last few years. I absolutely love animals and will do all that I can to make your fur baby happy ❤️ I am currently working part time and attending school but I am available at various times throughout the day to check in on your animals or take them for walks every day! I have my own dog who loves to play with other dogs, so if I’m doing visits I am more than happy to take your pet to the dog park with mine, as well as walk them together! (Or alone if your dog is more comfortable that way)

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).

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.

We're so grateful for Kimberlee! This is the longest time we've been away from our Mia, but she had the best time during her stay. 🫶🏼 Kimberlee is attentive and communicative and we will definitely use her 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!!

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'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!

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.
