“I could not express how much I appreciate I am to have found Emma. Sasha is very wary of strangers and needs time to adjust to new settings and people. Emma made sure Sasha and I felt comfortable before her 4 day stay. Updates/pics were sent and my baby was real taken care of. Definitely highly recommend. Thank you Emma!”
“Namita is amazing! We are so grateful to have her look after Clifford when we are out of town. Clifford LOVES staying with Namita and her family. Communication is always excellent with lots of updates and photos.”
“Amanda was so sweet and easy to work with. My boys were well taken care of and I can tell they had a great time! They were so tuckered out once we got home 😆 I got updates when I asked for them and she was so quick to respond! She would be a great sitter for your fur baby!”
“Beverly took wonderful care of our three fur babies while we were on vacation. She kept our 2 Siberian huskies and 1 whippet. Siberian huskies can be a challenge, so we left specific instructions about them being escape artists and Beverly went the extra mile and walked the dogs on a leash for us in the back yard even though her backyard is fenced in. We have never left our dogs before so it was very hard for the kids to trust them with someone else but Beverly sent multiple pictures to us everyday which put the kids minds at ease. I would definitely recommend Beverly to anyone needing a responsible person to look after your family fur kid. We will definitely be asking her to keep our fur family again in the future! Very nice lady!”
“Jennifer is always so good with our dogs. We wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else. Always appreciate her thoughtfulness to keep us updated on how they’re doing and her loving spirit. Highly recommended her services!!”
About: I provide a safe, loving home where pets are treated like part of the family! My home has a large yard for plenty of playtime, plus a doggie door so dogs can comfortably go in and out throughout the day. My family has a friendly medium-sized dog who enjoys company, and our neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Whether your pet loves to play, relax, or cuddle, they’ll get lots of attention, care, and affection while staying with me. I have had a dog for most of my married life, over 30 years and have taken care of dogs through all stages of life. Your pet will be treated like family while visiting with me. I'm currently a stay at home mom and am around the house most of the day. It is rare that I am out of the house for more that a few hours. I strive to make sure everyone is comfortable and want to make sure your dog has a great place to sleep and relax as well. Please let me know what would help your dog be most comfortable. Just let me know and I will do what I can to accommodate as much as I can. I often take walks with my family and can take your dog with us along with ours. If they need more that one walk a day I am happy to make sure that happens as well. I have a doggy door that leads to our back yard that is always available unless there is something unsafe (lawn care, equipment, etc).
“We had a trip planned for months out of town and last month we found ourselves unexpectedly caring for a dog we named Luna Most of our family are allergic or live too far to ensure she was properly cared for so we sought out Rover. I’m so glad to have found Cherrie! She was close and available as well as always responsive to our checking on Luna. She sent pictures and updates and Luna took to her immediately when we dropped her off. It was much easier to put our minds at ease knowing she was loved and happy while we were gone.”
“Tegan was AMAZING! She kept us up to date with messages and pictures the entire time. She was able to administer my cat oral medication and accommodated the need for her cat and our animals to be separated if needed. My fiance and I are already talking about booking her again.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl and absolutely love taking care of them. I currently have a 7 year old cat and 3 German Shepherds, Diesel who is 13, Harley who is 5, and Quinn who is 4. They are incredibly sweet and loving and have truly made me learn the upmost responsibility of animals. I also was a massage therapist for 8 years and use to massage some elderly pets with hip issues. My boyfriend and I live on 10 acres of land and I wanted to take the opportunity to make it a loving and open environment for dogs to run and have fun instead of sitting in their crates at home. I am currently in the process of making sure it's safe and secure before I put out boarding, but for now I am open for drop ins and dog walking! I am an entertainer and student whom works from home who has plenty of time to take care of your babies when you are busy. Just let me know :) I luckily have an incredibly flexible schedule as I primarily do Rover, groceries deliveries for Walmart, and take courses and tests to gain experience in my cybersecurity field. I am my own boss and an able to adjust things in order to work with other's schedule. Taking care of animals is all about making sure THEY are comfortable first, as well as you that I will be with them. These animals are your family and I want you to be just as comfortable as they are. In reality, I tend to let the animals run the course until they truly trust me. I don't like using force with animal and truly treat them like little children/babies who are full of so much potential. My animals are trained so I understand the disciplinary course, but when it comes to care for them? The focus is to make sure they are happy, comfortable, have everything they need, and are relaxed. That is my upmost focus.

About: Hi! I’m Daisy, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of experience providing attentive, responsible care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog or cat with the same love, patience, and safety I’d want for my own. With a strong background in leadership, customer service, and trust-based relationships, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, companionship, medication reminders, or overnight care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially great with: • Daily walks & exercise • Feeding routines & medication schedules • Senior pets needing patience and extra care • Puppies who need consistency and positive attention • Regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first. My schedule is structured around morning and evening care blocks with limited weekly availability. I offer consistent drop-ins, walks, and transportation during set time windows to ensure reliable, focused care for each pet. Advance booking is recommended for recurring services. My approach to pet care is centered on safety, consistency, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any behavioral or household guidelines. I respect the home as if it were my own—keeping spaces clean, secure, and undisturbed. During visits or walks, pets are always supervised and handled with care based on their personality, energy level, and comfort. Leashes, harnesses, and doors are checked carefully to ensure safety at all times, and pets are never left in unsafe situations or environments. For transportation services, pets are secured appropriately for travel and monitored throughout the trip to ensure a safe and low-stress experience. If caring for pets in my home (boarding), I provide a calm, structured environment with a focus on routine, comfort, and minimal stress. Pets are given supervised time, rest periods, and individualized attention based on their needs. Safety is always the priority, including controlled introductions if multiple pets are present. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents feel informed and reassured while they are away. My goal is to create a trustworthy, consistent experience where pets feel safe and cared for, and owners feel confident and at ease.

“Beverly was wonderful. We were in from out of town and spending time with family for the day, we got to spend the day with family with not worrying about our fur baby. Beverly sent us pictures throughout the day to keep us informed.”

About: Over the years, I’ve worked with various pets—from dogs and cats to small mammals and exotic animals—giving me a well-rounded understanding of different species and their needs. Using my GI Bill, I am currently studying Pre-Veterinary Medicine and aim to care for animals of all sizes. I have experience as a Veterinary Technician and over 400 hours in animal shelters. I also own 10 fully fenced acres suitable for any playful pup. I currently study Pre-Veterinary Medicine but I am only gone a couple hours a day. The majority of my time is spent on my farm tending to the animals so I will have plenty of time to go on long walks, play with toys or pay close attention to any special needs. My dogs are my family and in my house they have their own room fully stocked with treats, brain games and toys! All of my dogs are crate trained and can easily be put in their room to ensure your fur baby has the stress free experience they deserve. Before our dogs would play or interact together I would ensure they get the chance to be properly introduced outside of the home. All of my dogs are fully vaccinated and maintain their vaccines as well as monthly prevention for fleas, ticks and other pests. Additionally we have a fenced portion of the property that only allows dogs to come in it (no farm animals allowed). Safety, security and a stress free environment are our main priorities.
About: Hello! My name is Aly and I have a long history of working with animals. From managing pet stores, to farm work, and offering in-home pet care, I’ve done a little bit of everything. My main focus is to go above and beyond so both pets and their parents feel comfortable while they’re apart. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping to a familiar routine, I do my absolute best to ensure I provide loving, dependable care with updates so you can truly relax. We require all dogs visiting to be potty trained, and comfortable around cats. My schedule is currently based around my WFH schedule so dogs must be comfortable being quiet for a few hours during the day. I am still able to offer potty breaks every 4-5 hours. Your pets will always be cared for in the safety and comfort of their home or mine, where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow routines closely, keep spaces clean, and make sure they have everything they need; from fresh food and water to a cozy spot to rest. I’m attentive to your pets behavior and surroundings, and I’ll always reach out if I notice anything unusual. My goal is to make sure everyone is happy, healthy, and stress‑free until you return.

Friends and family trust me wholeheartedly to love and nurture their furry loved ones when they’re away, and I pour my heart into every moment. Whether tending to lively puppies full of energy or comforting wise, elderly pets, my goal is simple: to keep those tails wagging with happiness and ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I get to spend plenty of time with pets each day. I usually don’t have to leave them alone for long periods, which is great! I’ve got a fenced-in yard and three super friendly dogs who just love meeting other pups! We enjoy taking neighborhood walks, playing fetch, and having fun tug-of-war matches right in the backyard.
“Matt took very good care of our Pom. He kept her for us on a Sunday,when it’s sometimes difficult to find someone. He has a gentle giant Great Dane who was so calm and Meryl was not afraid of him even with the size difference. Matt has a large property for dogs to explore. He communicated well with me-confirmed the appointment, let me know how she was doing, sent a picture. I highly recommend him.”

About: Hello my name is Samantha and I have been taking care of animals since I was 11 years old. I have worked at an animal clinic, volunteered at the animal shelter and also have my Veterinary Technician license. I have been in contact with animals, big and small all my life, from working on a farm to having various animals at home. I love helping my friends and family take care of their furry friends and having fun with them! I actually am a very active individual and having a Husky-German Shepherd mix definitely helps my lifestyle. I am constantly going on runs and walks to help maintain Bruno’s lifestyle and take him regularly to dog parks. I’ve had him for 3 years and previously had Diamond yet she has passed due to old age. As well as familiarity with felines, I currently have Koa and he is 3 as well. So I am no stranger to having multiple animals under my care! I currently live in a house with a fenced yard as well as a good backyard to run around in and play in, as well as having a crate big enough to fit 2 full grown huskies if needed.

About: I've never not had a fur baby, or two! Or sometimes 3! From my childhood pets to my adult fur babies, I love them! I was taught by an amazing trainer in Houston Texas how to handle behavior issues and teach confidence to my dogs. A happy home is a furry baby home! As a mom of 6 humans and 2 fur babies I'm home and available for your pets needs! My human kids are all old enough to handle pets safely and are part of their care. The kids love all things furry! Lets us take the stress and worry out of pet care! I am a stay at home mom of 6, I do have an office at home and work, but my schedule is 100% flexible! In your home or mine I can ensure the time required! I offer separate front and back yard areas that are both fenced. Our home has crated areas for crate trained pets and plenty of love and arms for snuggles. We live on a quiet pet friendly street, a grassy park and walking trails within steps of our home. I will do all that I can to handle any need your pet has. I am comfortable and proficient with giving meds, baths and general grooming.
About: I Service the Rockwall/Greenville/Sulphur Springs and surrounding areas. Pet training/Boarding/Sitting/Care is my full time job. My service is a high end service where your pet is pampered. I started this line of work because I could not find any services that were high end for my own pup “Soccer”. My website goes into more detail on my about page. Our pet care is a VIP (very important pet) experience. Your pet will stay as a guest in my home (or when caring for them in your environment) and be treated as a member of the family. You will start with a consultation and a chance to see my home and meet me. All of your pets needs will be gone over in great detail. If your pup is able each day your pup will be taken on a walk, played outdoors & Indoors, enjoy treats (if allowed) and so much more. When your pet stays in my home, they have a room dedicated to them. However if they wish they may sleep in my room in their bed or even with me. A GPS tracking device will be on your pet at all times so you never have to fear they could run off or get loose. I keep a detailed file on each pet I care for to be sure to treat them exactly as you would. My goal is to make pet parents feel comfortable with no worries. I send daily pictures as well. Missing your pup? Not to worry video chat can be pre-scheduled at anytime. I foster a healthy, safe, and trustworthy environment for your pets. My home sits on 1 acre, so if your pup needs a lot of outside time, we can do that. If they needs more inside time, that's fine as well. Each pet is so different, and I work hard to learn their personalities so that they have a pawsome time when they are with us. Your pet is my only focus during its stay. No pup is ever unattended. I am always with your pup when they are out doors, and they are alway on leash or in a fenced in area with me by their side. *Please note, I am very selective of what pets and pet parents I will work with. I keep things professional and only work with pups and pet parents who qualify for our service. Safety always comes first. Also, I am a professional dog trainer, if you would like your pup to receive any dog training while you are away, at their drop-in’s or while staying in my home, I can provide this service. I work with dogs who have never been trained up to dogs that just need a small refresher. Pet care is my routine. After our consultation I scheduled my day to fit around your pet’s needs. Whatever schedule they are used to, I try to match that same schedule exactly as if you were here with them. If we are caring for your pet in your home, we again care for your pet according to your specifications. I fit my scheduled around your pets routine as if you were here with them. Now all I need is to meet you and your pet. Because "YOU" are what makes us Pawsome. My reputation and reviews speak for itself. Please visit my website and click on reviews. Pet care is my full time job. We match your pups schedule at home so their digestion stays healthy. We always take pups potty first thing in the morning and before bed. Pet care is my full time job.

Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to care for your pet! I work full-time from home, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, maintain consistent feeding and potty schedules, and respond to their individual needs as they arise. Your pet will have regular companionship, supervision, and care rather than being left alone for long periods. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including a large house and a fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

I truly love animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, even while working Monday through Friday from 8 to 5. I make time every morning and evening to feed, clean, play with, and check on my senior cat to ensure she’s comfortable and well cared for. I’m very organized with schedules and understand how important consistency is for pets, especially seniors. On weekends and during free time, I focus on giving extra attention, exercise, and companionship. Balancing work and pet care has made me dependable, attentive, and committed to providing quality care every day.

I am able to plan my classes and free time around pet visits, walks, and overnight stays to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m available on weekdays between classes as well as evenings and weekends, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and fully present when caring for animals. My schedule gives me the ability to stay organized while still giving pets plenty of care, attention, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I make sure they have regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for 10 years and a trusted member of Rover for 8. I absolutely love all dogs, cats, or any little creature. Animals are my passion and I don’t intimidate easily nor would I ever allow a pet to be mistreated! When watching each pet I take care of them like I would take care of my own family member and worry about them like they are my own child. I truly love them because they are just innocent babies. This will all be taken care of before the visit. Every pet and family are different and I’ve found that a schedule is custom to every visit. In a client's home, I strive to maintain the pet's usual routine to minimize stress. This includes following specific feeding schedules, walking routes, and any medication regimens precisely as instructed. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, respecting the space while ensuring the pet's comfort and safety. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. This customized care ensures that every pet receives the attention and love they deserve, regardless of the setting.

I have two dogs of my own as previously mentioned and I am in college. However, my dogs and I go to the park at least once a day and we go on walks in the morning. In between classes I come home to let them potty and they free roam with feed and water when I am gone. My dogs get baths once or twice a week. They free roam with food and eat when they please. They have plenty of toys to play with and I have two crates here in case I need to crate them.

“I could not express how much I appreciate I am to have found Emma. Sasha is very wary of strangers and needs time to adjust to new settings and people. Emma made sure Sasha and I felt comfortable before her 4 day stay. Updates/pics were sent and my baby was real taken care of. Definitely highly recommend. Thank you Emma!”
“Namita is amazing! We are so grateful to have her look after Clifford when we are out of town. Clifford LOVES staying with Namita and her family. Communication is always excellent with lots of updates and photos.”
“Amanda was so sweet and easy to work with. My boys were well taken care of and I can tell they had a great time! They were so tuckered out once we got home 😆 I got updates when I asked for them and she was so quick to respond! She would be a great sitter for your fur baby!”
“Beverly took wonderful care of our three fur babies while we were on vacation. She kept our 2 Siberian huskies and 1 whippet. Siberian huskies can be a challenge, so we left specific instructions about them being escape artists and Beverly went the extra mile and walked the dogs on a leash for us in the back yard even though her backyard is fenced in. We have never left our dogs before so it was very hard for the kids to trust them with someone else but Beverly sent multiple pictures to us everyday which put the kids minds at ease. I would definitely recommend Beverly to anyone needing a responsible person to look after your family fur kid. We will definitely be asking her to keep our fur family again in the future! Very nice lady!”
About: I provide a safe, loving home where pets are treated like part of the family! My home has a large yard for plenty of playtime, plus a doggie door so dogs can comfortably go in and out throughout the day. My family has a friendly medium-sized dog who enjoys company, and our neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Whether your pet loves to play, relax, or cuddle, they’ll get lots of attention, care, and affection while staying with me. I have had a dog for most of my married life, over 30 years and have taken care of dogs through all stages of life. Your pet will be treated like family while visiting with me. I'm currently a stay at home mom and am around the house most of the day. It is rare that I am out of the house for more that a few hours. I strive to make sure everyone is comfortable and want to make sure your dog has a great place to sleep and relax as well. Please let me know what would help your dog be most comfortable. Just let me know and I will do what I can to accommodate as much as I can. I often take walks with my family and can take your dog with us along with ours. If they need more that one walk a day I am happy to make sure that happens as well. I have a doggy door that leads to our back yard that is always available unless there is something unsafe (lawn care, equipment, etc).
“We had a trip planned for months out of town and last month we found ourselves unexpectedly caring for a dog we named Luna Most of our family are allergic or live too far to ensure she was properly cared for so we sought out Rover. I’m so glad to have found Cherrie! She was close and available as well as always responsive to our checking on Luna. She sent pictures and updates and Luna took to her immediately when we dropped her off. It was much easier to put our minds at ease knowing she was loved and happy while we were gone.”
“Tegan was AMAZING! She kept us up to date with messages and pictures the entire time. She was able to administer my cat oral medication and accommodated the need for her cat and our animals to be separated if needed. My fiance and I are already talking about booking her again.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl and absolutely love taking care of them. I currently have a 7 year old cat and 3 German Shepherds, Diesel who is 13, Harley who is 5, and Quinn who is 4. They are incredibly sweet and loving and have truly made me learn the upmost responsibility of animals. I also was a massage therapist for 8 years and use to massage some elderly pets with hip issues. My boyfriend and I live on 10 acres of land and I wanted to take the opportunity to make it a loving and open environment for dogs to run and have fun instead of sitting in their crates at home. I am currently in the process of making sure it's safe and secure before I put out boarding, but for now I am open for drop ins and dog walking! I am an entertainer and student whom works from home who has plenty of time to take care of your babies when you are busy. Just let me know :) I luckily have an incredibly flexible schedule as I primarily do Rover, groceries deliveries for Walmart, and take courses and tests to gain experience in my cybersecurity field. I am my own boss and an able to adjust things in order to work with other's schedule. Taking care of animals is all about making sure THEY are comfortable first, as well as you that I will be with them. These animals are your family and I want you to be just as comfortable as they are. In reality, I tend to let the animals run the course until they truly trust me. I don't like using force with animal and truly treat them like little children/babies who are full of so much potential. My animals are trained so I understand the disciplinary course, but when it comes to care for them? The focus is to make sure they are happy, comfortable, have everything they need, and are relaxed. That is my upmost focus.

I have a fenced in backyard for your pets roam around freely in & I’m located in a nice neighborhood area with paths for walking. I’m also fine with pet sitting at your house if you’d prefer that, either way I can care for exactly as you like.
