Highly-rated overnight sitters - Carpenter
“We couldn't be more grateful to Michaella for taking such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with her kind and professional approach. It was clear that our pup was not only safe, but also truly loved and cared for like one of her own. Michaella kept us updated with regular messages and the sweetest photos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Our dog clearly adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup—which says it all. We highly recommend Michaella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible caregiver. She's simply the best! 🐾”
“We have three pups. All three are extremely needy. We work from home and do not leave them often. Wendy was fabulous and so patient with them. She sent pictures throughout the almost 5 days of keeping them with her. The pups had a great time and were well taken care of. If she’ll take them again we will definitely trust her again 110%”
“Amazing family! Great energy they sent me photos and my boy was snuggled in a blanket and they gave him great treats will use tell everyone! I am grateful and my dog is too 🙌🙌🙌🙌 merry Christmas to y’all’s family 🎄🎄🎄❤️🔥”
“Breanna and her family are the best pet care we’ve ever had. Daily updates. Excellent communication. Outstanding care. They truly are wonderful”
“Steven and Randi were great with my sweet old lady doggo. She came home happy and calm after hanging out a couple of days at their place with a little doggo friend. I appreciated the pictures and seeing her get a walk in (her favorite part of any day :). I'm relieved to find such good care for She-Ra when I have to travel, and we'll both look forward to her going back for another visit next time.”
“Loretta was amazing. I had recently taken in a stray, but my family had already made holiday plans that could not be canceled. She responded quickly to my last second inquiry, asked many questions, and gave consistent updates on how my new guy was doing. I even had to extend the booking by a day and she was able to accommodate without any issues. As a brand new Rover user, I could not be happier with the experience I had with Loretta. 100% recommend.”
“Pamela can watch my baby anytime! While I was gone I barely had reception but whenever I got one, there were updates about Chase. Pics and comforting words so that I wouldn't worry too much. Chase came back happy to see us but not disengaged or traumatized. You can see she truly has a love for pets. Whenever I need a sitter, I'm looking for Pamela as my 1st option. Thank you so much for putting my family at ease.”
“Megan was amazing sitter for Rocky! I am so glad that I found her with availability. I can see why she has the compliment of many return clients - she made both Rocky and me feel comfortable with him being away from home. Megan did a great job keeping me updated on how Rocky's stay was going and sending pictures of what he was up to while he stayed with her. Thank you, Megan, for taking such good care of my baby while he needed to be out of his house. We both appreciate you very much!”
“Maggs took great care of my dog Pippen while I was out of town! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and also was very willing to work with my schedule for pickup/dropoff.”
“Kristen is wonderful! Absolutely the best care of our fur baby. Updates often and most enjoyable person to work with... (hesitant to recommend as we want to keep her to ourselves ?)...MOST highly recommended! ❤️ ?❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Michael and Ali took amazing care of our dogs and treated them like their own. We could tell right away they were comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and videos. We will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!!”
“Celeste is amazing. She was warm and welcoming to Bowser and sent me pictures and updates every day. She even did an Easter themed photo shoot! I was at first a bit nervous about a new dog sitter but there was nothing at all to worry about. We will definitely be back the next time we travel without Bowser.”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone and I was definitely nervous about it. After just the first evening, I felt completely comfortable. I got daily pics and updates which definitely made me feel at ease. I would recommend Sophia and Kevin!”
“Grace was phenomenal with our puppy. She is very attentive and I could tell she showed him so much love. This was the happiest he has been with a sitter thus far. Highly recommend!!”
“Great experience with Katherine and her family! Bear got along well with her dog Nala & had a wonderful stay. Communication was flawless & I loved all the updates and pictures I received it bear while away.Katherine is very flexible and understanding. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone & definitely use her again!”
“Karen is a great sitter! She took the time to learn about our pup’s routine ahead of our trip and was very attentive to him during his stay. We received consistent communication including photos and videos throughout the week. Highly recommend Karen for your dog care needs!”
“Juliana’s daily communication and regular photo updates of my Morkie, Oliver, was greatly appreciated. It was so reassuring to know (through pictures and videos) that my little guy was doing well and adjusting quickly to his new surroundings and acquainting himself with his 2 friendly playmates as Juliana has 2 dogs of her own. We highly recommend Juliana to anyone who wants their fur baby(ies) left in the “best hands.””
“Your dog is in great hands with Ashley & Christopher. When Pocho is near their house you can see his excitement. They are kind and communicative so you can relax knowing your dog is well attended and enjoying his own vacations.”

“My fur baby was in the best hands while I was out of town. He loved Laura! And she loved him! She gave me many updates with photos that put me at ease while I was away. Would love to have her sit when I need her again!”
“Shelby was great. I really appreciate that she was not fazed by Catalina’s medication or routine. Shelby was understanding of kitty nature and gave them their own time and space. They came back happy to be home but it was also evident that while I was away their routine had been taken care of and they had proper interactions.”

“I was a repeat client of Jennifer's when she lived in Iowa and I wanted to leave one final review. She was amazing and we were very sad to see her move. She would drop in on my two senior aged cats who take daily medication. She is very good adjusting the rates for cats and was available on short notice a couple times. She went out of her way (helped once when we ran out of a medication), took great photos, and gave me thorough updates. I would highly recommend for any sitting you might need!”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”
About: Experienced cat caregiver devoted to feline well-being. Skilled in providing affectionate attention, play, and personalized care. Committed to creating a stress-free and happy environment for your beloved furballs. I grew up with cats and at one time had 3 of my own, so I'm very comfortable and knowledgeable in all things cat care related. I have experience giving subcutaneous IVs to cats, as well as oral meds. Fun fact: I moved abroad for a year and brought my cat with me. I'm knowledgeable in pet import documentation, vaccinations, and other requirements.
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
“I highly recommend Bella! This was my first time ever using rover and I was nervous about how it would go but Bella put my mind at ease. I have a dog that is nervous around new people and they quickly became good friends. Bella was attentive, on time and sent really great reports on how my dogs were doing on top of being affordable. I can't express enough how thankful I am that I booked with her.”
“Loretta exceeded alll our expectations. She was so kind and loving with our dog and cat and incredibly understanding when Linus (our dog) chewed! We are so thankful for her help and care and flexibility. We would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her services again!”
“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”

About: Please note that Rover retains a 20% service fee from each booking, so my rates are set to remain fair while still reflecting the level of care and attention I provide. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet, and I take great pride in the quality of care I deliver. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles—since a young age. Over the years, family members and friends have consistently trusted me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets, which has helped me build a strong foundation in reliable and compassionate animal care. I do have two young daughters, ages 4 and 3. They are very well-behaved around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful—such as not pulling on tails or ears. I also work from home as a nail technician and run a small coffee/food business, which allows me to be present throughout the day. Because of this, your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m very flexible and happy to work with you to accommodate scheduling needs, including times and dates. I offer a variety of toys and a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and play. I also provide high-quality treats, including 100% beef or chicken options, as well as organic peanut butter cookies made specifically for dogs. In addition, I provide eye, ear, and paw wipes to help keep your pet clean and comfortable during their stay.

While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities.

Just ask! 😊 I have a ton of special needs dog and cat experience Just let me know what you need! I'm excited to be here.

Rover doesn't always give you an accurate number if there are multiple visits, mulitple animals, cats only, holidays, etc. I will adjust it! *I also do cat care: rates will depend on the number of cats, the number of days, and if there is a dog also. I will give each person a custom rate based on these.

I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, special needs, med administration, etc. Kitty will get love too! If I am house sitting or doing drop in visits while you are away, I can also take care of trash/recycling day, plants, mail. Just ask! Part of the reason we moved was so I could rescue animals. So far, just in Texas, we have rescued 120 dogs, cats, cows, and goats. 30 of the dogs and cats have gone on to be adopted in the Pacific NW and are loving their new lives. 😍 I can accommodate preparing/feeding their special diets if you have them on one (raw food, homemade dog food, etc). Any other questions? Please just ask! Leaving your pets can be hard. My goal is to make that easier for you! I also have a farm sanctuary and we have rescued dogs, cats, cows, goats, hens, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My hours are flexible and animals are my whole life!

About: I’m a US Marine veteran who brings reliability, structure, and genuine care to every animal I work with. With 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves long walks or needs a calm and patient approach, I adapt to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable handling active dogs, maintaining routines, and providing structured care while still giving plenty of affection and attention. When your pet is with me, they won’t just be “watched.” They’ll be exercised, cared for, and treated like family. I know how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, and I work hard to give owners peace of mind through consistency, updates, and quality care. If you’re looking for someone disciplined, trustworthy, active, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d be honored to care for your pets.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to care for pets at every stage of life. I’m experienced with training puppies using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also have strong senior-care skills, including helping with mobility support, administering medications, and keeping a calm, comfortable routine. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for. I set aside dedicated times each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention. I’m very routine-oriented, so it’s easy for me to stay on top of medication schedules, training sessions, and any special needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, and playtime. I pay close attention to behavior, keep their space tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I prioritize safety, supervision, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I grew up with two medium sized dogs who are now seniors, and I’ve taken care of large energetic dogs as well. There is a large range of breeds and sizes that I’ve dealt with and loved! I’m currently a full time student three days a week, so I have plenty of time for pet sitting for the large majority of the week. I am able to take care of your pets from the comfort of their own home. I’m able to become familiar with the environment they’re comfortable in and keep them out of places they’re not supposed to get into!

“We couldn't be more grateful to Michaella for taking such amazing care of our dog while we were away. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with her kind and professional approach. It was clear that our pup was not only safe, but also truly loved and cared for like one of her own. Michaella kept us updated with regular messages and the sweetest photos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Our dog clearly adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup—which says it all. We highly recommend Michaella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible caregiver. She's simply the best! 🐾”
“We have three pups. All three are extremely needy. We work from home and do not leave them often. Wendy was fabulous and so patient with them. She sent pictures throughout the almost 5 days of keeping them with her. The pups had a great time and were well taken care of. If she’ll take them again we will definitely trust her again 110%”
“Amazing family! Great energy they sent me photos and my boy was snuggled in a blanket and they gave him great treats will use tell everyone! I am grateful and my dog is too 🙌🙌🙌🙌 merry Christmas to y’all’s family 🎄🎄🎄❤️🔥”
“Breanna and her family are the best pet care we’ve ever had. Daily updates. Excellent communication. Outstanding care. They truly are wonderful”
“Steven and Randi were great with my sweet old lady doggo. She came home happy and calm after hanging out a couple of days at their place with a little doggo friend. I appreciated the pictures and seeing her get a walk in (her favorite part of any day :). I'm relieved to find such good care for She-Ra when I have to travel, and we'll both look forward to her going back for another visit next time.”
“Loretta was amazing. I had recently taken in a stray, but my family had already made holiday plans that could not be canceled. She responded quickly to my last second inquiry, asked many questions, and gave consistent updates on how my new guy was doing. I even had to extend the booking by a day and she was able to accommodate without any issues. As a brand new Rover user, I could not be happier with the experience I had with Loretta. 100% recommend.”
“Pamela can watch my baby anytime! While I was gone I barely had reception but whenever I got one, there were updates about Chase. Pics and comforting words so that I wouldn't worry too much. Chase came back happy to see us but not disengaged or traumatized. You can see she truly has a love for pets. Whenever I need a sitter, I'm looking for Pamela as my 1st option. Thank you so much for putting my family at ease.”
“Megan was amazing sitter for Rocky! I am so glad that I found her with availability. I can see why she has the compliment of many return clients - she made both Rocky and me feel comfortable with him being away from home. Megan did a great job keeping me updated on how Rocky's stay was going and sending pictures of what he was up to while he stayed with her. Thank you, Megan, for taking such good care of my baby while he needed to be out of his house. We both appreciate you very much!”
“Maggs took great care of my dog Pippen while I was out of town! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and also was very willing to work with my schedule for pickup/dropoff.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Michael and Ali took amazing care of our dogs and treated them like their own. We could tell right away they were comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and videos. We will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone and I was definitely nervous about it. After just the first evening, I felt completely comfortable. I got daily pics and updates which definitely made me feel at ease. I would recommend Sophia and Kevin!”
“Rachel was such an excellent sitter. I can tell from all the pics she sent me that my Maxwell was having a great time! Will 100% book her in the future!”
“Excellent environment, was a perfect fit family for Dusty. Friendly, relaxed with a positive vibe.. loved the grand children.. Cindy and family absolutely great and they have a solid love of animals and life. Definitely recommend and will use again if they agree.”
“She was so amazing! I can tell my baby Scar had a great time. I will definitely be coming to her whenever I need a dog sitter again. She kept in great contact with me and sent lots of pictures so I always knew what he was doing. He had a blast ?”
“Josh is great! Great at communication, updates, and quality care. One of our dogs is deaf, very skittish with people, can be a wild card, and sometimes… a little “bitey” 🥴 I’m always nervous about leaving that one with others but Josh has watched her 2x now and has done so well with her! Definitely our go to pet sitter!”
“I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all when I left him for over a week! Emmarose took great care of my scaredy cat dog, and kept me updated every day. She gave him space at the beginning to let him get adjusted and soon enough he was following her around everywhere. Will definitely leave him with her again!”
“Cassie did a awesome job keeping me updated and lots of pictures. My dog Lena had a great time meeting and playing with her new friends. I thought she would be sad and all clingy on me when I got back from my trip. She was happy when she saw me but then acted like I never left So she obviously was telling me she had a great time!! Thanks you Cassie”
“Angela and Samuel were wonderful with our labradoodle! They took care of her as if she was their own, they kept us updated on her which made us feel great! Thank you guys for being so good to Gracie!”
