Lexie was very quick to respond and kept me updated during his stay. Will definitely use her again and would be great with all pets!”
“Jonathan is AMAZING! He took such great care of my little ball of nervous energy, Lily. Such great communication…daily video updates and photos.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my 18-yeat old Yorkie Poodle, Sasha. Caring for her through every stage of life has taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to each dog's unique needs. I know first hand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll treat your furry family member like Sasha. I'll make sure your baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for many years. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, regular meals, plenty of attention, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications etc. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed by providing regular updates and photos so they have peace of mind.
“Anthony and his family are the best in taking care of Fendi. She is always well fed, so clean , and so happy. She loves it when we drop her off so much that we almost feel bad. Also, when our flight was late, Anthony was very accommodating in keeping her another night so that we could get in. He really is great.”
“Spencyr was an amazing communicator and made us feel so at ease while our pups were in his care. He was very friendly and handled our hyper husky so well. We will be using his services for all of our future pet sitting needs!”

“Had a 3 week commitment and needed sitting for my 2 occasionally moody cats, and Kelly was perfect for the job. I received an update and pictures everyday (at least of the cats that weren't in hardcore hide mode) and I could tell through the course of pictures day to day that they became fast friends. Will definitely hire again next trip!”
About: I've taken care of plenty of cats in my time of pet sitting! I play, clean, and cuddle with everyone of them. I personally do not own a cat due to a family member being allergic, but I love getting to spend time with the cats I get to take care of!!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and enjoy working with them. I currently have 3 dogs that require lots of attention! Most dogs take an instant liking and trust with me and so do cats. I have no allergies to pets either. I have 2 years of exotics with birds and reptiles. I’m currently job-hunting and am looking for income to raise money for law school. I am free most days and can do weekends and overnight stays I have a full fenced backyard as well as a dog door for emergencies. I feed my dogs separately.

I appreciate written instructions on how you like things at your home. Additionally, please let me know rules on eating in the house, guests, etc.
“Desiree was an excellent sitter for our cat. She is kind, compassionate, trustworthy and will take good care of your fur babies. We had her drop in 3x/day while we were away on a trip and she provided pictures and updates for every visit she made. She is patient and did well with our picky princess. I felt at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. We will definitely be using her again for future needs. Thank you Desiree!”
“Did an amazing job. Left detailed description of her visit and added photos at each drop in. Would recommend her to everyone! I will be using her again!”
“Adrianna has been extremely amazing. She communicates very well and ensures that’s she provides the best service possible. My apartment stays clean, my dog had a great routine, and I knew he was well taken care of. I’m going to miss her as she goes to school but can’t thank her enough.”
About: As the owner of an 8-year-old Burmese cat, I’ve learned how important patience, affection, and attention are for cats. My cat is very social, so I spend time petting, talking to, and interacting with her every day. I genuinely enjoy making cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Using Heather to cat sit for me has been a very positive experience. Roshi did very well staying in the comforts of a surrounding he’s familiar with instead of going to the pet resort where he’s kept in a cage. Roshi ate on schedule everyday, had social time with Heather, and relaxed in his own environment. I’m pleased that everything went well while I was on international travel.”
“Heather did an amazing job with our two cats! We were nervous leaving our cats for so long while out of the country but after Heather’s first visit we knew they were going to be well cared for! She was even able to pet/play with our nervous girl which is quite the feat since friends/family rarely see her when they come over. I would 100% recommend Heather to care for your fur babies!”
“Steph did an absolutely fabulous job with Ghost. She sent so many pictures and treated him like her own. ? She sent so many updates throughout the day, and Ghost was comfortable and treated like royalty! I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much again, and Ghostie will be back soon!”

“Thank you for a wonderful and at ease experience. Emily dropped in to check on my cats for a couple of days and she was kind, respectful and provided updates. Thank you again for your help!”
“My dog is my BABY, so I am very picky with who I leave him with. I could not recommend Ariana more! She did AMAZING with my dog. She did drop in visits twice a day for 4 days while I was out of town. She walked him, feed him, took him on two walks a day and played fetch! She was so sweet to my dog and I could tell he was very comfortable with her. I got multiple pictures during each visit and a report cards of potty breaks/eating and drinking! Ariana took away the stress of being away from my boy. I have a Cat as well who is pretty self sufficient and has an automatic food dispenser so I told her she didn’t have to worry about taking care of him too; but she still gave him love and sent me pictures so I knew he was doing good! She watched my dog over the 4th of July weekend; I was worried about him being scared of the fireworks.. and she made a courtesy check in !!!!!!!!! She went out of her way (something I didn’t pay her for) just to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable during the fireworks; which put me at ease. On the last day of her watching my dog, she had already made her stop for the day; I later noticed the AC at my house got shut off, she made another courtesy stop just to turn my AC back on so my dog didn’t get too hot!!! Her service is exceptional and I with DEFINITELY be booking with her in the future when I go out of town! Thank you SO much Ariana, I truly appreciate how sweet and amazing you were to my babies! Thank you for taking such great care of them and making both them and me feel so comfortable!!!!”
“Jada and Chandler took such good care of our cats. They were constantly sending us pictures and updates during our trip. They were so caring of our babies, and we would definitely use their services again !”

About: I have many years of experience as a dog walker and sitter. I have two dogs: a chihuahua named Minnie, and a corgi mix named Stubbs. They’re both very friendly and well trained. I’m a huge dog lover- every time I see one in public I have to pet them. I grew up with dogs and I’ve never not had one. My dogs are part of the family, and they’re very spoiled. I have a house with a big .25 acre fenced in backyard with plenty of shade and a dog door which can be closed. I have several tennis balls and other toys, and I love to go for dog walks around the neighborhood & to the dog park. Your fur babies will get plenty of love, attention and cuddles with me! I work from home, so I’m fully dedicated to taking care of your pups! I will make sure they are treated just like my own, and get plenty of walks and playtime. I offer free pickup & drop off as well!

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats, having been a dog owner myself and currently a volunteer foster in the DFW area. I have cared for all ages — including puppies, kittens as young as 1 week old, adult cats/dogs and senior dogs. I hope to care for your pet be it in the comfort of their home or ours. Lots of room in the backyard for zoomies! I do work full time but have the flexibility to work from home. I typically go into the office 3 days a week and do half days as I occasionally pet sit or care for foster animals. Happy to talk about arrangements or flexibility! We do not have any permanent resident pets in our home, just the occasional fosters. We do crate when away from home, but pets have full roaming capabilities when we’re home. If I come to your home I’m happy to abide by any rules or routines you prefer!
About: First time booking on Rover? Get $20 off! Hi! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three Golden Retrievers, and they truly felt like part of the family. My most recent one recently passed after an illness, so opening my home to care for other dogs feels really special to me. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, comfort, and a safe place to stay. My children also love having dogs around and are gentle and respectful, which helps create a warm, welcoming environment. We do have a Burmese cat in the home, but she has her own space and knows where to go if she prefers not to interact with dogs. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, plus a kiddie pool for those hot days. Whether your dog loves to play or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will be treated like family here—with love, patience, and attention. I work part-time from home, so I’m able to give plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My children are homeschooled and home most of the time, creating a calm, family-centered environment. We do leave occasionally for errands, church, or family events, but your dog will still have a consistent, loving, and supervised home most of the day. I also provide overnight boarding, so your dog will be safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a calm, family environment with my two children who enjoy giving gentle attention and companionship. If a dog needs a little quiet time or separation, I do have an office space available. For dogs that require crating, I ask that you please provide your own crate so they can feel familiar and secure.

My schedule is open so I'm free to watch and play with your pets on weekdays and Saturdays. Let me know your pets' routine and I'll make it work. I will keep an eye on your fur child whether they prefer to be inside or outside. They will be well fed, get plenty of play time, and loved on as if they were my own pet.
About: I have always been the go to pet care taker in my family and with my friends because of my love for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how important it is watching over someone’s pet they love. I have a miniature dachshund Mamas and she’s 17. I have a mixed breed Sunny that we adopted and he’s now 8. A couple of years ago he was diagnosed with Lupus. It’s been a tough journey for him but we have given him the proper treatment and care he needs. I give him medication everyday so I have experience with medicine! I’m currently working part time so I have open availability! I’m extremely flexible and make it easy for you and your pet. Thank you for thinking of me! I have a fenced in yard for my doggies, that way they are able to roam and sniff all they want. My senior dog loves to sun bathe while my other one likes to play with his toys.

About: Paws🐾 Plants🪴 & Peace of Mind ❤️ Providing consistent care with loving hands, giving you peace of mind. A little about me: There has never been a time in my life when pets were not a part of my family. I’ve had as my own, and cared for all sorts of animals throughout my life including: dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, rodents, fish, hermit crabs, reptiles such as lizards, and more! I AM: Patient, experienced, and comfortable caring for animals with special needs, seniors, rambunctious puppies, animals of all types of temperaments, households with many different species or lots of animals in general. Able to safely interact with aggressive/ territorial breeds. It is all about taking it slow, respecting boundaries and earning their trust. Well versed in “musical chairs” - caring for animals in the same household that need to be rotated for food / outside time and separated from one another for safety reasons etc….. Services: As you can imagine, There is a-lot of tail wagging and excitement in our household, so I am unable to host your baby, but available for frequent home visits, playtime & cuddles. House sitting - Yes, can include sleeping over when requested :)! Please have reasonable expectations for this service. When house sitting a minimum of ½ of the day is spent checking on /caring for my own and other animals. Basic training - Things such as sit, stay, shake, potty training, and basic leash manners (if we are going for walks). (If you are interested in training you may be required to purchase various correction and training devices to assist me in the training process. This may include things such as correction collars, gentle leads etc… ) Plant Care - Plant lover here with a (mostly) green thumb, and would take pleasure in caring for your household flora as well. If there is anything else you would need in your absence, Just ask me ! We can certainly figure something out together <3. My availability is very flexible as long as I have a decent amount of notice. - Short Notice requests are welcome. I will do my best to accommodate but cannot guarantee last minute availability. I will care for your pets as requested and do my best to follow any schedules that they are currently used to. Every family has their own ways of doing things, so I believe that should be tailored to the client’s needs :). I do also have a dog cart / carrier which can carry up to 100 lb dog on walks. It’s basically like a large stroller for dogs with mobility issues.
About: I have worked as a pet bather during winter break during my time in undergrad, and I truly loved being able to work with different breeds and sizes of dogs. For personal experience, dogs have always been a big part of my life since I was born! I didn’t grasp the concept of what it’s like to actually care for a dog until I was in elementary school but since then I’ve always cared for every dog I’ve had and every dog my family member has had. I’m currently on summer break from OT school, so I have more than enough time to care for your pets! I am available on the weekdays and weekends from 7a-3p, so feel free to reach out! I have two male Shih-tzu’s one is 5 and the other is turning 13! I love them very dearly! I ensure that they are up-kept with their grooming services, vaccinations, and fresh food and fresh water! They love car rides and walks from time to time when the weather isn’t too hot

I can take them to the dog park , on walks around the neighborhood, or just play with them in the backyard if that’s what you’re comfortable with
About: Taking care of 2 German-rottie mixes before sending them off to their forever home left me with a realization I’d never expected: dogs are so much better than humans. Since then, I’ve picked up dog walking for my current manager as well as the occasional dog-sitting for friends. I am currently working part-time but would love to take your dog(s) on a stroll to enjoy the morning air and feel the warmth of the rising sun. The latest requests I can take would be around 2/3PM. I am the type to venture out and will definitely make sure your precious enjoys the ride. Long but manageable walks with endless conversations (mostly on my part).
About: I’ve always had bigger dogs and my entire life and growing up had German Shepherds in my family. I currently have a cat and a dachshund who make my life amazing! I love being active and I don’t mind giving baths or giving pets the occasional brush. I would love to help out the dog parent who might not have the time to take their pets to any activities they would love to have them do. I have experience pet sitting for my friends and families and would love to help anyone who needs it. I do have frequent repeat customers outside of rover, if you ever need references please let me know. I work hybrid with most of my days being WFH so my schedule does vary some days but I am usually open almost every Friday-Sunday morning or afternoon! Any other days please plan accordingly and in need of an emergency please reach out and I can try to accommodate as best as I can! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Like previously stated I will try to accommodate you and your pet as best as you can to ensure you are both happy with my services.

About: As long as I can remember I have always had a dog's companionship. I've learned how big of a responsibility they are and how much better life is with them. I know they aren't just a dog, they are a family member. ♡ Many dogs have came my way. Senior, puppies, and even dogs who need medication. I'll be there to meet there needs. If that's walking them to lose weight, or just stopping by for them to have a lap to lay their head on. My schedule is pretty flexible, but I do have classes every Tuesday and Thursday. I have church on Sundays, but it is only an hour in the morning. Other than that I love spending time outside by going on walks or hikes and a dog is always a perfect companion to do so. I have a small dogs to accompany yours. We have short walks, but I can carry her and take longer ones. A water source will always be on me and a snack for the adventure. :)
About: I’ve had pets since I was younger and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve volunteered at humane societies and have taken care of my friends pets when they’re out of town. I’ve recently had a pet passing and I don’t think I’m ready to have another one of my own at the moment. This will help fill the hole I have for my pet. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to hang with pups! I’m off Saturday-Monday so those would be ideal times but I’m available during the week as well just depending on the time of day. Unfortunately, my dog passed away last year due to old age. I’ve cared for her very well, she was very spoiled. The family dogs I had were always well cared for as well. Routinely vet and grooming visits.

“Anthony and his family are the best in taking care of Fendi. She is always well fed, so clean , and so happy. She loves it when we drop her off so much that we almost feel bad.
