“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
“Leaving your fur baby with someone can be super scary. However, Bo took that fear right out of me. Upon meeting, Bo’s cheerful spirit and openness made it very clear they would take great care of my dog! Bo sent the perfect amount of pictures and updates of my dog and was quick to answer me back! Bo took great care of my dog and if I ever leave town again, I know who to call! 💕🐶”
“Eddie was sweet and caring and I know Shelby and Cooper felt comfortable in their surroundings. Eddie was very accommodating and easy going and made leaving my pups with her easy. I will reach out again to book with her if I’m in the area.”
“First time using Rover or any dog sitting or boarding for our 2 mini Golden Doddles, Pancho and Lefty. Margo was great and sent us pictures each morning and evening. Our 2year olds got along well with a couple of other dogs in her home. I highly recommend her thoughtful care.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Mister Pickles! Appreciate you sending all the photos as well. Such a relief to know he was being well taken care of while we were away.”
“Gabriela took very good care of my pup while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the weekend with pictures and updates on Theo. He also enjoyed his stay with her. I recommend booking with her when you need a dog sitter!!”
“Andrea did an awesome job taking care of Winnie, my German Shepard mix, while I was away for several days. On arrival, Andrea was careful enough to put the other dogs in the backyard in order for my dog to get comfortable and introduced them individually. During my time away, she was very quick to respond and provided several pictures of Winnie enjoying her stay and interacting with the family. After picking Winnie up, I could immediately tell she has been getting plenty of play and attention from Andrea's kids and the dogs. In the future, Andrea will be my number one choice!”

About: I’ve cared for cats for over 20 years, and I truly adore kitties of every personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their fur babies for years and I always treat each one with the same love and attention as my own.

About: My brother first introduced cats to our family about 5 years ago, and even though we were skeptical at first because we’ve always had dogs, we immediately fell in love with cats (I have a weakness for orange cats 🤭). I quickly learned that all cats are different, so I adapt to their needs and personalities, and make sure to keep you updated as preferred.
“Kristie was wonderful with our pet. She was responsible, flexible, prompt, thorough in communication and easy to build trust with. We will absolutely be hiring her again. Thank you Kristie!”
“Karla was amazing! She took care of our two cats, our playful 9-month-old kitten and 18-year-old senior cat, while we were in Europe for three weeks. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. We were kept updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and gave each of them the attention they needed. Knowing they were in such good hands made our trip so much less stressful. We’re thrilled to have found her and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommended!”
About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Aron & Delia were awesome with Sammy during his daycare stay!

“Elsa was prompt to our visit and careful and patient with my 13 y. o. chihuahua who came back looking energized and happy after her walk. I had a last minute med visit with one dog who had a scheduled walk and Elsa was kind enough to modify the visit for me.”
About: Hello!!! I love animals I’ve had cats and dogs growing up my whole life so I’m pretty familiar with their care! I know how frustrating it is having to ask someone u know to put a stop in their day to help u out but sometimes it’s better to stress free and just hire someone who will devote their time to ur loved ones 💝💝 Im pretty much free availability for right now due to being laid off so anything can work, for the time being. As per overnight stays or just checking in during the day I would love to make sure their bathroom areas are clean and well kept, their food and water always being fresh and making sure nothing is out of the ordinary
About: My very first birthday request, from what I recall, was a Dalmatian or a Great Dane. My favorite movie as a child (not shocking) 101 Dalmatians and my favorite cartoon Scooby-Doo. I have taken care of parrots, cats, dogs, ferrets, raccoons, fish; their personalities are infectious. I recently read, “Your Dog Is Your Mirror”, by Kevin Behan it resonated with me. I adapt to animals and crave to know more about their mentality and personality. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My availability to any family that needs extra assistance with their pet care is more than welcome to reach out. My home has accommodated dogs, cats and birds (at one time a tortoise) with ease. Currently, four happy pups live here living their best lives. Our house is fenced and well protected with easy access to food and water at all times.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛
“Alexis was such a great sitter. She offered to come meet my crew before the appointed time which I really appreciated. She arrived early for the sit and sent photos. My doggos were tired when we got back so I know they had a good time! Thanks Alexis!!”

Friends, neighbors, and family often trust me to feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m very active and patient, so I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I work during the day at a school, so I’m available after school hours on weekdays and most weekends. I am also mainly free during anytime of the day during the holidays. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention and care. I’m also flexible and can work with your pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, and routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and in a calm environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.

About: Hello my name is Amanda :) I am from Harlingen and currently attending UTRGV to major in Marine Biology. Me and my family have a six year old chihuahua named Soda who is super loved!!

“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
“Leaving your fur baby with someone can be super scary. However, Bo took that fear right out of me. Upon meeting, Bo’s cheerful spirit and openness made it very clear they would take great care of my dog! Bo sent the perfect amount of pictures and updates of my dog and was quick to answer me back! Bo took great care of my dog and if I ever leave town again, I know who to call! 💕🐶”

“First time using Rover or any dog sitting or boarding for our 2 mini Golden Doddles, Pancho and Lefty. Margo was great and sent us pictures each morning and evening. Our 2year olds got along well with a couple of other dogs in her home. I highly recommend her thoughtful care.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Mister Pickles! Appreciate you sending all the photos as well. Such a relief to know he was being well taken care of while we were away.”
“Andrea did an awesome job taking care of Winnie, my German Shepard mix, while I was away for several days. On arrival, Andrea was careful enough to put the other dogs in the backyard in order for my dog to get comfortable and introduced them individually. During my time away, she was very quick to respond and provided several pictures of Winnie enjoying her stay and interacting with the family. After picking Winnie up, I could immediately tell she has been getting plenty of play and attention from Andrea's kids and the dogs. In the future, Andrea will be my number one choice!”
