I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it helped that she had large dogs herself. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“We are first-time pet owners and this is our first time to leave our five-month Odin to someone else. Karimar is so nice and patient.

I already booked another appointment in two weeks with her!”

She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
“Cindy was super awesome and accommodating. My pup was a handful but she was patient and handled her with love and kindness. Thanks again! Will keep you marked for future care.”
“Amanda was awesome! I was in a tight spot, gave her short notice and she quickly responded. Riley quickly took a liking towards her. Would not hesitate to ask her to watch Riley again! Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!

“Megan responded quickly after a previous sitter cancelled after I was already on vacation. She spent multiple hours playing with my cats over many visits making sure they were being loved on and even brought in packages. She took a ton of pictures for me and assured me Henry and Kip were doing great! I will definitely be using her again!!!”
“Avery is so great! Our two little Italian Greyhounds can be shy around new people, but they warmed up to her quickly and I always know they are in good hands. She has come by for drop-in visits and also housesat for us for a long weekend and I have no complaints! I totally recommend her!”
“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”
About: I’ve had two Siberian huskies growing up from age 4-18 and now I have two dogs of my own. One husky mix that I’ve had since she was 10 weeks and she is the absolute love of my life, and I also have a Great Pyrenees, so large dog breeds are not a problem for me. I love and give my all to animals and I hope you can trust me into the care of your fur babies. I also love cats and have two of my own. I consider my pets my kids and I would consider yours my kids as well and would only offer the best care. I can also assist in training puppies if you have one that you need help with as I’ve housebroken and done basic training with several puppies of all different breeds. Whether your pup is used to lounging on the couch and watching movies or going outside and catching a ball I’m happy to do what I can to make your pet feel like part of my family while they’re in my care. Thank you for your consideration of me with your fur babies and I hopefully look forward to getting to meet and care for your babies soon. I do currently work a full time 8hr day job 5 days a week, but I work less than 2 min from home so I’m home on breaks everyday to let pups out for a good potty/play break so they’re plenty tired and resting during my shifts I have a big privacy fenced in backyard and two of my own dogs, with different energy play levels, to play with guest dogs to keep everyone happy and exercised!
About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.

About: I have cared for many different types of animals since the young age of 6 or 7. I have always had much empathy, patience and understanding for them. We cared for stray dogs, cats and a hurt hummingbird as a child. Christie was our family dog when I was a teen that was a beautiful Collie who I cared for till I moved away for college. Since then, I have cared for many dogs, birds, lizards and cats. I have educated myself greatly on the topics of pet care, behavior, training, feeding and more. I have served as a foster mom in DFW and currently assist Ay Chihuahua Rescue group in fostering and holding adoption & educational events. I also support foster families in their needs for our group. My hope one day is to have a big farm in the country where I can foster many more animals especially seniors in the short years that they have left. I am a retired Texas school educator who runs a small Etsy Shop from home. I am free to care for pets most of the day as needed and boarding on occasion. I have no obligations except my current two small dogs. I ensure pets have their potty breaks on a frequent basis to avoid accidents. I ensure they eat the right amount & quality of food for both meals. I walk my dogs even though we have a fenced backyard so that they can explore, smell the outdoors and be stimulated by all of the sights and sounds of nature. I am very patient, understanding, kind and considerate of all animals especially rescues and those that need more training, discipline and positive reinforcement. I have had pets my entire life from birds as a young girl to a turtle to cats and dogs. I care about all animals and understand their body language and try to be attuned to their thinking so as to not bring fear or aggravate any stresses they may have. As a young girl, I grew up in a neighborhood with many stray dogs and learned from an early age how to read their body and how to move my own body to not scare or threaten an animal. I am also a foster Mom to other foster Moms that need a vacation or break. Caring for pets brings joy, fun and satisfaction to my life and could not envision a life without pets.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and helping take care of them. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and laid back, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I currently work from 4am–1pm, which gives me availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on varying days off throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet care after work and on weekends. I’m reliable, flexible when possible, and committed to making sure pets get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a spoiled 2-year-old Golden Retriever, so I understand how important routines, attention, and patience are. I follow care instructions closely, keep communication open, and can provide regular updates and photos during visits or walks.
About: I've been around both cats and dogs since I was a baby. We only have cats in our home, but one day, I'd like a dog too. My husband and I currently have 3 cats. We loved and cared for our special needs cat Donny for 3 years until she passed away. I have experience expressing a cat's bladder, administering medication, and giving ememas. The nasty stuff doesn't bother me. I cleaned up after her all the time and I can clean up after your baby too! I currently do real-estate and work part-time, but my schedule can be moved around depending on what I need to do. Any time can work out. I have 3 cats who are fixed. They can get along with other cats who are also cat firendly. I don't know how they would act with dogs, so I am not taking any in my home at the moment, but I love to drop in to visit them.
“Sol is amazing with our dogs—we genuinely look forward to his visits. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our dogs get so excited every time he comes by, which says everything. We feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong dedication to rescuing and caring for animals. Growing up, I was surrounded by a variety of rescued dogs and cats from different breeds, each with their own unique needs. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how to care for animals, especially those that have been neglected or need extra attention. Currently, I have 14 rescued dogs, many of whom came from difficult circumstances. My family and I spare no expense in ensuring that each dog receives the best possible care, from medical treatment to daily love and attention. We believe in giving these animals a second chance at life, and because of that, we often end up keeping them, knowing that we have the heart and financial means to provide them with a truly wonderful life. I approach every situation with compassion, patience, and expertise. My commitment to animals is not just a job; it's a way of life. I'm a dedicated pet owner who balances a busy schedule with the rewarding responsibility of caring for my furr babies. Every day begins with a morning walk, a ritual that not only keeps my dogs active but also provides a refreshing start to my day. In the evenings, I make sure to spend quality time with Hank and Daisy, whether it's playing, training, or just unwinding together. Incorporating pet care into my routine not only strengthens my bond with my babies but also brings a sense of balance and joy to my life. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that each animal feels comfortable and safe. I start by creating a welcoming environment, with cozy beds, toys, and plenty of space for play. Feeding routines are followed strictly to maintain their health, and I make sure to provide regular exercise through walks or playtime. I also keep a close eye on their health, monitoring for any signs of discomfort or illness. When I care for pets in my clients' homes, I adapt to the pets' established routines and preferences. I take the time to learn about each pet's specific needs, from their favorite toys to their dietary requirements. I maintain a clean and organized space, and I make sure to give the pets plenty of attention, whether it's through play, walks, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!
About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.
About: I have over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.
