“Belinda took great care of our dog Brody for five nights and showed him lots of love while we were on a trip. She kept us updated daily and sent us lots of pictures. She was very flexible and accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. She even made brody a sweet blanket that he loves. Highly recommend Belinda!!!”
“She was amazing! Accommodating and loving towards our Suzie. Mrs. Bobbye treated our puppy like her own. Her home is very pet friendly. Our Suzie was able to lounge on furniture and run her little heart out in a large fenced back yard. She had lots of love and companionship with Mrs. Bobbye and her family (her own fur babies included). I received many updates and photos which gave me peace of mind over night. Definitely will use her services again. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of animals for 29 years. I have taken care of dogs with specific conditions and needs by pet parents / foster. I do have to pick up my kids between 2-5:30 but I’m free to care for animals by 7 am to 9 pm every day I have a fenced in 2.5 acres. I have 1 inside Yorkie. I have 4 big outside dogs. 1 outside cat. All very friendly animals
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.
“Brooke was great with our dog Ginger! We’ve never left her since adoption and she was very accommodating and flexible with us and had friends for our pup to play with. We loved the daily updates and pictures of our pups happy face. Definitely will use her in the future and recommend her!”
“Would definitely recommend Delelah, she kept our Hank last minute plus an extra unexpected day! She sent photos updating us on his time with her, will definitely use her again! ☺️”
“Karimar was great with my pup! He has a lot of fear and needs some extra loving at times, and I can tell from the photos she sent daily that he was right at home. I would definitely have her watch him again if needed!”
“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact her again.”
“David and his wife were great taking care of our pups! We got updates every day with photos. They got lots of snuggles and their dog Gryffin was a great playmate!”
“Stefani was wonderful with my dog Brodie over the weekend! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I got back. It’s clear she really loves dogs, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Stefani again! Even Brodie misses hanging out with Charlie!”
“Gina was an amazing sitter! Our Baxter had never be boarded. He has a lot of anxiety and we were so worried about his stay, but Gina was so patient and understanding about Baxter’s situation. She made him feel so comfortable that we were truly amazed of how he was so comfortable. Highly recommend and will diffidently be back.”
“Cindy was truly amazing with Charly! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She sent me tons of photos and updates, which meant so much while I was away it really felt like Charly was on his own little vacation! You can just tell how much Cindy genuinely loves and understands dogs. Charly looked so happy and relaxed in every picture, and it made being away from him so much easier. I’m so grateful we found her and will 100% be booking with Cindy again. Thank you for treating Charly like one of your own!”
“Our pup had the greatest time with their family! I have never felt more comfortable leaving him with someone. They communicated will with me, and I will definitely use them again in the future :)”
“Paige was so accommodating to our schedule. Both drop off and pick up were easy going. Remi is full of energy and loved playing in the backyard with her dogs. We can’t express the difference there is in a boarding kennel and this home care. No stress what so ever on our dog. She was happy and healthy no worries! Thanks Paige for caring for Remi like she was yours.”

“I highly recommend Veronica, she took very good care of our cats while we were out of town. It is such a relief knowing that your fur babies are in good care when your away from home!”
“Amazing. Amanda was in time for each drop in, communicated well during drop in if needed and after her visits. The puppers love her, can't go wrong. We will definitely be using her again for our go to doggy sitter when we go away.”
“Bobbye was fantastic! She was so thorough and took great care of my cat Tristan with in home check-in visits. She was punctual and kept me informed with each check in and even sent pictures! I highly recommend her and will utilize her again and again to care for my sweet boy!”
“My mother and I went on a trip before, and by the time we came home, the cats were all around still, and we were glad to have Shawn around checking on them during those days! It’s recommended that you ask her because she’ll always be there for your pets.”
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
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!
“Kaitlyn was an absolutely amazing drop-in sitter for my two cats! She came very 2 days and made sure they had plenty of food, water, and cleaned their litter. She always let me know when something needed attention and gave the cats lots of love! Highly recommend!”
“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 been around cats everyday for about 1 decade. I enjoy their versatile personalities and especially enjoy caring for young kittens. I have experience bottlefeeding kittens and have had 8 in my care. I currently have 1 cat, Artemis, who is very affectionate. She gets along well with my dog and new cats/dogs.
“Megan was informative and helpful. Went above and beyond helping with a fire alarm that was faulty. She sent many pictures of our cat and was easy to reach.”
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.
“Karen was awesome. Gave us wonderful feedback and was so kind. She catered to my 3 cats with very distinctively different personalities. Fearful, playful and aloof. She always sent pictures. I was so happy to know that someone was checking in on them and making sure they were alright. The kitty cats were so calm when I returned. Thank you so much Karen!”
“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”

Monica and I communicated throughout the day and she made me feel at ease. The next time I am in Corpus for work I will definitely bring Stormie and utilize Monica again.”
“Khea has been watching Charcoal for over a week now every day. She is very responsible and Charcoal is always excited to go there and play with her kids and the other dogs.

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.
“Kaitlyn is amazing with my fur babies!! She always keeps me updated throughout her visits with them! She treats them as her own 10 out 10 would recommend… your fur babies are in good hands with her”
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: 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.
“Jaclyn is Max’s BFF! He absolutely loses his mind with excitement when she takes him for his walks. She is reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure Max is happy and well taken care of. The updates are detailed and the photos she shares capture Max living his absolute best life. 🐾💛”
About: My experience has never stopped me from striving to be the best I can be. I’ve had animals in my home for over 15 years, cherishing every moment of it. I'm a stay at home house wife..and caring for your pets is no inconvenience for me.. your pets are very important to me and that they are properly taken care of.. My dog Pinky is never out of sight and my cats are indoor. I will never let out my cats because to many bugs outside..
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’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.
About: i’ve taken care of family/ friends pups and helped trained my own dog. also bathed them and walked them.I also potty trained my own pup. Im currently available before 2pm and after 10pm. i have open availability all day/night on wensdays and thursdays to take care of your pups! ❤️ I have a fenced backyard. I provide treats, dog food. and water. with a clean environment! i am also willing to travel and pet sit.
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 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.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

“Karimar was great with my pup! He has a lot of fear and needs some extra loving at times, and I can tell from the photos she sent daily that he was right at home. I would definitely have her watch him again if needed!”
“David and his wife were great taking care of our pups! We got updates every day with photos. They got lots of snuggles and their dog Gryffin was a great playmate!”
“Stefani was wonderful with my dog Brodie over the weekend! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I got back. It’s clear she really loves dogs, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Stefani again! Even Brodie misses hanging out with Charlie!”
“Gina was an amazing sitter! Our Baxter had never be boarded. He has a lot of anxiety and we were so worried about his stay, but Gina was so patient and understanding about Baxter’s situation. She made him feel so comfortable that we were truly amazed of how he was so comfortable. Highly recommend and will diffidently be back.”
“Cindy was truly amazing with Charly! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She sent me tons of photos and updates, which meant so much while I was away it really felt like Charly was on his own little vacation! You can just tell how much Cindy genuinely loves and understands dogs. Charly looked so happy and relaxed in every picture, and it made being away from him so much easier. I’m so grateful we found her and will 100% be booking with Cindy again. Thank you for treating Charly like one of your own!”
“Our pup had the greatest time with their family! I have never felt more comfortable leaving him with someone. They communicated will with me, and I will definitely use them again in the future :)”
“Paige was so accommodating to our schedule. Both drop off and pick up were easy going. Remi is full of energy and loved playing in the backyard with her dogs. We can’t express the difference there is in a boarding kennel and this home care. No stress what so ever on our dog. She was happy and healthy no worries! Thanks Paige for caring for Remi like she was yours.”

“Bonnie was an AMAZING sitter for my big German Shepherd. She responded quickly to all my messages and provided videos and pictures. My dog had an amazing time with her and her fur babies. 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.”
“Khea was amazing! I loved getting pictures and videos thought out the day and my shy pup was running and playing in no time! I will definitely be booking with her next time I need someone to watch my dog!”
