“Mary is amazing. Extremely professional. Exceptional communication when you are away and worried how your dog will do. Mary is top notch.

Rudy loves them and their 2 dogs they own and always has such a fun time. It’s definitely a mini vacation for Rudy as well! Catherine and her family take care and love Rudy like their own and I always know he’s safe and in good hands. This past trip our flights were canceled and they had to keep Rudy one more night and they were so understanding and accommodating and were happy to have Rudy one more evening! They truly are the best!”

“Mary is wonderful. She provided great communication and pictures so we could see our fur babies. Our girl kitty that doesn’t like strangers even came out to see her. We highly recommend Mary.”
“This was Ashley's 2nd time sitting our cats in 6 months. One of our cats is very shy and typically hides under the bed when we have a sitter, but not for Ashley. She worked to win him over and by the 2nd day she had Freddie out for snacks and rubs. It is always comforting to know your kids are not hiding the entire time you are gone. Thanks again for everything Ashley!”

I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals & getting to know their individual personalities, routines, & needs. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, & goats. I love getting outside, playing, & giving pets plenty of attention. I'm no stranger to nervous or shy pets, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, & building trust at their own pace. I also have personal experience with large breeds, including English Mastiffs & Great Danes (they're secretly just big babies!). I have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including GI issues, allergies, vision or hearing impairments, & special dietary requirements. I'm comfortable following specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, & other care routines. I'm also Animal CPR certified, so I understand how to properly care for unexpected situations. I want you to feel just as comfortable as your pet does, so I provide regular updates & photos to keep you in the loop & give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a patient companion, or simply someone reliable to keep them happy, comfortable, & cared for, I'd love the opportunity to meet them! I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home. I’m able to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, & check-ins. I’m also happy to work around a pet’s normal routine & make sure they get the consistency & care they’re used to! I like to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, especially when they’re staying in their own home. Whether sticking to specific feeding times, medications, walks, or other care routines, I focus on not missing any details.

You can expect regular updates & photos so you know your pets & home are in good hands.

I also started working with farm animals when I was 12 so I have experience working with horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and ect. I currently work only two days at my church, so I have plenty of time to play with all the dogs and cats! I will make sure to communicate with you when those times are and if I leave during the day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around in. All of my dogs are crate-trained, and they go up at night. During the day I leave them outside or they lounge around inside.

“Mary is a life saver! We are from out of town and needed a sitter last minute. I am so incredibly thankful Mary was available! She was so great with my pup and even better with me and my mildly panicked state. ? She sent me so many updates and even went the extra mile after my pup had a little tummy issue the first day. I wish I could give her 10 stars! We will definitely use her again if we are ever in the area!”
“Luda was great at baby sitting my pup. Frequently text her for updates on how he was doing since it was my first time using her services and she responded in a timely manner with many pictures. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter and will use her services in the future.”
About: I have been the go to person to watch my friend's dogs throughout my 13 years in the military. Either it be a TDY, a Deployment or just for the weekend, I've taken care of dogs for my friend's whenever they need it. I work from home 4 days a week so I'm able to accommodate most kinds of dogs and times for meet and greets. I now work in the office full time so any dogs that I watch will be alone/kenneled from 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I am in the military and may have to leave my house for a few hours, but those appointments are far and few between and will be communicated with you when/if they occur. I have a fenced in yard. I also have 2 large female (spayed) dogs to keep your dog(s) company. If they need to be crated I can accommodate that as well. Please let me know if your dog needs any medications or special needs.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and absolutely love having them around. I currently have a 9-month-old Goldendoodle who is very friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family over the years and have experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, hanging out around the house, or just lots of attention and belly rubs. For boarding, I’m comfortable hosting small to medium-sized dogs that get along well with other dogs, since my Goldendoodle will be home too. I’d also prefer to keep the number of dogs I watch at one time small so they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see what your pup is up to! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day. I already spend a lot of my day taking care of my puppy, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out together, so having another pup join us fits naturally into my routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and time to relax. My home is puppy-proofed, with dog gates in place to keep everyone safe and prevent any escape attempts. I also have a good-sized, fully fenced yard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time
“What truly sets Caitlin apart is the genuine affection and care she and her son showered upon our furry friend. It was heartwarming to see how quickly our dog formed a bond with them. Their genuine love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with our dog, providing him not only with physical care but also with emotional support. The updates and photos we received during his stay were not just reassuring but also a testament to the joy and happiness he experienced every day. Perhaps the most telling sign of a positive experience was our dog's excitement every time we dropped him off. His tail would wag furiously, and he would eagerly bound towards our dog sitter and her son, a clear indication of the warm and welcoming environment they created. This level of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the genuine affection and attention our dog received in their care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and loving dog sitter. The flexibility she offered, coupled with the evident passion for animals, created an environment where our dog felt at home.”
“Becky is the Best I highly recommend. My Hank knows exactly who I am talking about when I say her name and his friends. He is waiting at door to go soon as I ask if he wants to see ecky. When I come to get him before I knock he knows it's me and is alking at the door. Great sitter.”
“Charlie loved going to Mallory's Day Care. Each morning he would wag his tail when he saw her. She sent me pictures and updates on his day. I am so happy to have found Mallory for Charlie. I highly recommend her to look after your beloved pets.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who require special attention. I’m comfortable with administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and following specific care routines. What sets me apart is my ability to provide personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet's needs. Additionally, I’m trained in Fear Free handling techniques, ensuring a calm and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. My dedication to making pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable is at the heart of everything I do. I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work, depending on travel time and traffic. I’m also a part-time grad student, so my schedule may vary if I need extra time to study. I update my Rover calendar regularly to reflect any changes and will always communicate in advance if adjustments are needed. I understand I have clientele from all over the DFW area. I’m happy to accommodate long-distance drop-in requests for pet care, but please note that my rates will reflect the travel time, mileage, holiday dates and the level of care required. If your pet needs extra attention—whether due to medical conditions, behavioral concerns (such as aggression), or simply requiring more time for proper care—I will factor that into my pricing. Before booking, I will communicate a customized rate based on the distance, time commitment, and specific needs of your pet. My goal is to ensure every pet receives the best care while keeping my services sustainable. If you’re unsure whether your location qualifies, feel free to reach out, and we can discuss the details! I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free environment when caring for pets in my clients’ homes. I follow all care instructions closely, provide patient and compassionate care, and use low-stress handling techniques for anxious or reactive pets. Whether administering medications, managing special diets, or ensuring pets stay on their routine, I focus on their well-being while keeping pet parents updated with regular check-ins. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable experience for every pet while maintaining clear communication with owners.
About: I have always grown up in a household full of dogs, having 3 as my childhood pets! I absolutely adore dogs and as I moved away to college, I couldn’t stand not having a little best friend by my side. I currently have a rescue who I adore! Family and friends have relied on me to care for their babies and I hope you do too! I can’t wait to give them all the love!! I currently work 3 days a week as needed in healthcare, so I have plenty of time to play with and love on your pups! I generally work different days every week but I keep my schedule updated on Rover. I am available for play time, walks, feeding, and letting your pups outside. I am pretty flexible and open, just let me know you and your dogs needs!

About: Hi, my name is Darian! I have three dogs of my own, two of them in their senior stage of life. I have been a dog sitter for almost ten years now, taking care of dogs around my community and family friends. I feel the best way to take care of your dogs is in your own household where I can keep them in their own routine! I would love to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood as well as doggy parks and other places with your permission of course! I am up for staying in your home (if you are on vacation) or dropping in every couple of hours when you need me to. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your sweet pups!

“Mary is amazing. Extremely professional. Exceptional communication when you are away and worried how your dog will do. Mary is top notch. I was in a bind and was able to book her with less than 24hrs of me leaving. Her care and attention to detail is phenomenal. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond. Very grateful”
“Richard did a great job with Koda He sent tons of pictures and followed instructions well. He lives nearby a large pond and lots of fenced in grass so it’s perfect for allowing pets to have exercise and frequent bathroom breaks. Richard and his family are also very friendly and easygoing, would recommend!”
“Maisy was with Diana and her husband for 10 days! I never worried not once about her. She had the best time with their pup, Dante! I received lots of communications and pictures about how her day was going. She was in the best hands! Would highly recommend!”

“Angelica watched our goldendoodle baby, Cleo, for about 11 days while we were away. Cleo came home happy & well cared for, and I felt she was in good hands.

“Angie and her daughter were both kind and caring to my fur baby! She sent multiple pictures and updates every morning and night. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“I can't express how awesome Michele is!! Took care of our puppy the whole week and loved him as her own dog, took him for daily walks, and played with her dog.

Thank you, guys! 🤍🤍🤍😊”

“INCREDIBLE ROVER MAMA 🐾 my baby was cared for like another member of the family! Daily and frequent updates I felt like I was always in the loop! This was my first attempt at using Rover after hearing many other scary stories I am grateful to Susan and her family for giving me a positive story to share but most importantly for giving my boy a safe and happy environment that accommodated his quirks and anxieties! Already have dates im ready to block out for the rest of the year! Truly happy and satisfied! Rhaegar approved 🐾”

“Ann was amazing!! My husband and I needed to board our baby for the first time but felt more comfortable finding an in-home pet sitter. We really appreciated Ann’s communication, especially the photos and videos of our boy having a great time. Thank you Ann 🤍”
“I have so many AMAZING things to say about Melissa and Roy!! First off, they are super communicative and quick with responses which put me at ease. From the meet and greet, all the way to pick up, they stayed communicating and sending pictures of our precious pup. During the stay, Melissa ended up needing to take our dog to the vet and was super nice and thoughtful with the entire process. They kept me updated all week long and I just know our pup enjoyed his time with them. They are some of the nicest and more caring people in the world and I know they took the absolute best care of our dog. To be honest, I dont think he wanted to leave because I know he enjoyed all the play time and yard for his walks. I cannot thank you both enough for loving on Pilot like we do and all the play time his heart desired. I trust these two with our dogs life and will certainly be using them again for pet sitting!!”
