He sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay, which truly made all the difference and allowed me to relax knowing Flex was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was clear that Flex was genuinely spoiled and given lots of attention and love. Alexander was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with last minute drop off and pick up times, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Rover, and I would absolutely trust Alexander with Flex again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you, Jennifer, for taking great care of our Bailey. She's always such a nervous one, but it's comforting to know she can relax and play with you, just as if she were at home. Having a home-away-from-home for her is such a blessing and relief, especially when we have to leave her for extended periods of time.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, including dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, providing exercise, feeding on schedule, administering basic medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to attend to your pup! Our work schedules are very flexible so will always be available for potty breaks, quick outdoor walks and play time. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks and one friendly dog. (I can separate if needed) I can also crate your dog if requested or needed.
“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“First time taking Ryder for daycare here. I can tell he had fun from the updates we received, and hes tired now. Haha. We will definitely use them again.”
“Megan and her husband are fantastic! We left our one-year-old puppy in their care, and he had the best time. They treated him as if he were their own. Their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up schedules was incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was their decision to board only one or two dogs at a time, rather than a whole kennel.”
“Jorge was very informative and kept me updated throughout the day with my dog Ash, which really made me feel comfortable! You can tell he genuinely cares about animals. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone to watch your dog.”
“1st time user here. Steph responded quickly to my last minute request for daycare for the afternoon. I’m so thankful b/c I was able to spend time with my daughter at Lackland AFB, where I couldn’t take Noob. It was a great stay for him though, and he looked like he had fun playing in the water trough. He was zonked out the rest of the night, so it must’ve been a great time. Can’t wait to use this app/service again! I think him and I are both looking forward to it b/c it was such a positive experience. Thanks Steph!!”
“Breanna is amazing at taking care of my dog misa and always willing to accommodate to my work schedule. She always sent pictures and updates on how misa was doing during the visit as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had pets since I was very little and have always dealt with pit bulls specifically. I will say I have learned a lot from them as well as my friend's dogs taking care of them gave me the confidence and patience that I have now. I'm currently a full-time student and recently separated from the Air force. I go to school and the gym in the mornings and have freedom early hours of the day and in the afternoons/evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I tend to be busy with church and my bf is off for quality time. However, if needed I can adjust my schedule for certain clients! I believe my dog Milo is my child. I wouldn't let anyone take care of him unless I fully knew a person. So I understand that this can be challenging for other pet owners. I fully take care of any pets such as my own, call me Aunt Ana.
“Fernando was amazing. I had my regular sitter cancel last min for a very early appt I need for my two boys. Fernando was able to accommodate on short notice for a very early sit time. He took good care of my guys and sent periodic pictures of them having a blast. 10/10 would use him again.”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“Lorena took care of my puppy Maya for 4 days, she was the most patient to her, cause my puppy is really energetic and she was wearing a cone. She took care of her like her own, she would walk her almost 4 times a day and she was the most lovely with Maya. I’m so thankful to her, she is simply the best! Thank you Lorena!! 🙏🏻 I know my puppy is a lot and you were so kind to her 🥰”
“Absolutely pleased with Lauren’s care! She took our Foxy last minute and it meant so much to us out of towners so our pup didn’t have to endure the storm as we explored!! She sent lots of pics and videos and kept us updated all evening. Bless you, Lauren!!”
“Rose was so communicative and made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my special needs doggo with her. Roxy had some anxiety at first, but Rose and her husband got her to settle down and gave her extra love and attention!”
About: I've never lived in a home without pets. Whether it's cats, dogs, chickens, bunnies, etc. Pets give our home extra warmth and happiness. I have fostered and cared for pets whose family went on vacation for many years now. I have 2 cats of my own who love fur visits and enjoy the extra play time. I understand that not all pets get along with cats, I do have the time and space to separate if needed to help your fur baby feel comfortable. I will do check ins for families who need me to let their fur babies out for some time, feed, give water, play time, etc. I can work with anything you and your fur babies need to ensure they are taken care of while you are away. Communication is key, let me put you at ease with daily updates including pictures of your fur baby. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information and any questions.

“Reily was communicative and caring. My dog Arya instantly bonded with her, even through her anxious moments. She was also extremely patient and aware during their walks and catered to all of Arya's necessities. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with pets as part of my family, which taught me from an early age how to care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. Being around dogs and cats my whole life helped me learn how to read their body language, understand their routines, and respond to their individual needs, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I’m currently focusing on personal growth and beginning a new chapter in my life. This gives me wide availability and flexibility to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. I’m able to prioritize consistent visits, unhurried care, and being fully present with each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, comfort, and reliability they deserve. I focus on providing calm, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making adjustments to ensure they feel safe and at ease while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are important to me, and I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

I have space for a cage if needed but I do like them to roam around. I’ll be at home to feed them throughout the day, take them outside and cater to their needs.

This means I'll be home much more often, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship for your pets throughout the day.

“Wonderful! Nardo instantly took to her and they played nonstop! Ella is super sweet and professional I definitely recommend and will call on again and again! :)”
“Hector treats each dog as his own while walking them. I had someone's loose dog attack my own and Hector protected my fur baby as if he were his own. He loves and protects him wholly each time Hector takes him out. Look no further - there is no better dog walker available in the city right now.”

“Quinten always does PERFECT with my dog. I unexpectedly had to stay at work late, I messaged Quinten asking if he can walk Max and he immediately responded & came to walk him. He takes the best pictures of him during there walks as well. I will always recommend & trust Quinten to walk Max when no one is home to do so.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old, and my love for them has only grown stronger over the years! My most recent dog, Mila, was a huge part of my life. She had several special needs, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust when it comes to your pet’s care. Mila taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, and unconditional love, and I carry that with me in how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. Whether your dog needs a strict routine, medication, extra potty breaks, or just lots of snuggles, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!

About: As a dog "Mama" I know how important it is for our "children" to be safe,loved and happy. I provide a fun, interactive, safe and relaxing environment for your Pup. Working part time from home allows me to give a lot of myself and my time. There is a big Park near my home to walk and run in (weather permitting) and I have a decent sized fenced Yard. Max is the resident 13 month old Catahoula. He has been raised with lots of other dogs and lots of visits to the dog park (he hands out kisses to everyone ). Currently he is 30 lbs. and is full grown. We have two cats who don't mind dogs too much LOL. Both were raised with dogs,
“Amanda has been a great dog walker for our puppy! She was extremely loving and caring to our puppy. Some of the things we appreciated about Amanda was that she was easy to get ahold, always on time, and consistent rain or shine. We had to move away from the area and wish we could have taken her with us. We highly recommend Amada to take care of your pet!”
“Kate is an amazing care taker for my dog, Maverick. It puts my mind at ease to know that he is the care of a very caring, responsible individual while I'm gone! I can't say enough good about her. She is the best!!”
