“Delaney was awesome! She is one of those rare dog sitters who covers all the bases & then some. Not only does she open her home to your fur baby, but she takes the time to get to know each dog's temperament, dietary needs & schedule. Then, she loves each dog like it's her own. Daisy, Delaney's Golden, is the perfect co-host & makes this one happy place for your dog to stay. Our dog wasn't sure he was ready to come home! We are so blessed to have found Delaney for all of our future dog sitting needs. One stay with her & your search will be over.”
“Kaitlyn kept me very updated on what was going on with my pups while I was gone!! Lots of pictures which I loved. My little dog was a bit sick for the first night and she let me know right away. Plus they have a big yard for the dogs to play in! Definitely recommend her!”
About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.
“Amelia was so kind and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She has a big yard and other dogs for your dog to play with. Perfect place!”
“Our dogs had a lovely time with Gabriela! She kept us posted every day on how they were behaving and playing. She was very attentive to our dogs high energy! We will definitely use Gabriela again for dog sitting!”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog! As was her whole family! Harley can be very shy and alittle feisty sometimes towards people she doesn’t know but the moment I brought her over she was so comfortable with Jennifer and that’s a huge positive when your dog is automatically comfortable with someone also imo! Jennifer updated us daily with texts or pics and the whole experience was just a pleasure overall!! I would definitely recommend this home for any and all pet sitting needs and if I ever need someone to watch Harley again, Jennifer will be the first person I book with! Thank you guys again!!! I appreciate you so much!”

“Shadow had her first July 4th and she spent it with Victoria. She updated me on how she was doing with all the noises and I couldn’t be more thankful knowing Shadow was somewhere safe!”
“We have been hesitant on leaving our dog with past boarding experiences. Needless to say Sarah completely changed our point of view. She took such great care of our fur baby. Communicated every day. We received pictures with updates several times a day! Will 100 percent recommend Sarah and will definitely book her again!”
“Great communicator. Ranger felt right at home. He ate everything, every meal which means he was not stressed at all. They did a great job of making him feel safe and welcome.”

“We have had many pet sitters over the years and Amanda is by far the best! She gave wonderful, in-depth, daily updates of how our dog was doing using videos, pictures, and text. She went above and beyond taking care of his basic needs to use this opportunity to train him in areas he needed. We even learned some fun new things about him like his interest in watching dog TV. Haha Overall, I highly recommend her services!”
“10/10 would do again. I was worried about leaving my Dane with a sitter but he quickly put me at ease and updated us everyday with photos and videos. Will be using Christian again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. From training puppies, to grooming, to senior dogs who may need gentle care. I look forward to meeting your babies! I work full time, but it is a banking job so it’s very flexible. I can check on your animals every morning occasionally during my lunch, and also after work. I’m off by 4. I am off every weekend as well so I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are well taken care of. In my home currently I have a puppy of my own. I have crate, plenty of toys to share, the best of quality food, extra water and food bowls. There is a lot of grass and a lake with sidewalk to take your puppy on walks. My puppy also does well with other dogs but can be separated if needed. I am very respectful of owners homes, as I would expect in return. I am providing a service and would not only want your animal to feel comfortable but you as well. I’ve sat for many family members, so I would treat my clients even better.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin and other medications. As an adult, I’ve had up to four dogs at once, ranging from a few months old to 11 years old, and helped train them with my partner. My family also has lots of pets, so I’ve always been around and helped care for animals beyond my own. I currently have one dog, Cash, who is very much my baby, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets! I am fully available from Friday-Sunday. I’m currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday, but my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day! I have an hour break between classes and a two-hour lunch each day, which gives me lots of opportunities to head home, spend time with my own dog, and give your pets some love and attention too. 🐾 I’m currently available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pets while you’re away! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals.

About: I’m an experienced and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes.

I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping up with their routine, or simply providing some company. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines.

About: I have taken care of dogs big and small for the past 7 years. I have also grown up around dogs and have been properly trained to care for the needs of different dogs. I work a hybrid scheduled job Monday through Friday from 8-4 so I have a flexible remote schedule. I am available for care on Mondays aftr 4:00PM, Tuesdays and Wednesdays all day, Thursdays and Fridays after 4:00PM. That includes feedings and walking as well. I do get an hour lunch break each day to leave work. During the weekends I am available all day to stay and watch dogs. I am very attentive to details when it comes to the safety of your pet. “I believe that one of the most important qualities of a successful pet sitter is compassion. You need to genuinely care about animals in order to do this job well. I love spending time with pets because they are so loving and affectionate. Another quality is patience. Pets can be unpredictable at times, which means you need to stay calm when things don’t go as planned. Patience also helps me communicate effectively with owners.
About: I can't really think of a time I didn't have a dog, I've learned how to potty train puppies since I was little. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Know how to bowl and crate train, as well as all basic commands and care. We have a great shaded and fenced back yard with fresh water and a cool house with dog beds and crates. I've had lots of challenging dogs, and lots of sweet hearts. The two I have now are very good with other dogs, and I have two well behaved kids 2-4 that can be kept separate from the dogs if needed, as we have crates and a yard and multiple rooms (as well as experience in that). Recently got laid off from my blue collar job, so I have lots of free time on my hands rn. I usually let the dogs out as needed throughout the day as they want, or as the heat allows. I have a fenced backyard, and a secure home. Multiple dog crates and multiple spare rooms to separate/secure if needed. Plenty of fresh water and your food of choice only. Have basic care and medical knowledge for dogs, cats, and most pets.
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have used rover with my parents for the last couple years. I am now doing so on my own. I’m currently working part time and taking online classes while my boyfriend is looking for a job. We have a lot of time at home to spend caring and loving on our pets. I have a fenced yard as well as plenty of space for big and energetic dogs. I have personal experience in providing oral medication for my own dog everyday. We also have space to separate dogs if needed.

About: I have years of experience with in-home as well as drop-in pet sitting. I am reliable and dependable so you can be worry free when leaving for furry friends. I am a college student with a lot of down time to care for your furry friends. Pet sitting will fit perfectly into my weekly schedule since I only have short classes in the mornings. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of, including walking, bathing, and much more. Anything you need for your pet I am more than happy to accommodate.
About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.
About: I recently graduated from Tech & I have been pet sitting through Rover for about a year now. I am providing dog walking, drop ins, and overnight stays. I’m currently working full-time at a hospital, but I can work the stay into my flexible schedule. Please feel free to reach out & book! I provide dog walking, drop ins and overnight pet sitting! I am located in Lubbock, Texas. I am not currently providing services in my own home.
About: I have a dog of my own and my sister has a cat. I've taken care of pets for family and friends. Both staying in house and dropping in for feeding and potty breaks. I firmly believe pets are members of the family, a friend and a companion not just an animal. I have very flexible hours. I will be returning to college in the fall but i will continue accepting bookings. Im typically available morning to late at night. For Drop-in visits or house sitting that require early morning care I am able to work it with my schedule with no issue. For drop-in visits I'll check in minimum 3 times daily for feeding, potty breaks, and short playtimes. For house sitting i am happy to stay overnight. In the event I need to leave for any reason, I'm happy to take your fluffy loved one on a car ride with me if acceptable and only if i am not getting out of the car.
About: I have absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was young. I strive for pet sitting and care to be more than a passion but a career path. I’m more than willing to dedicate my time into making what can be a stressful time for both owners and pets alike enjoyable and rewarding! I have experience with furry friends who take time with new people, and with our over joyful and excited friends! Having the patience, time, energy and dedication needed for building a relationship with your pet thats lasting! I have cared for all sizes and personalities of furry pets for the past 15 years for many neighbors, family members, and friends growing up! It has remained my favorite job and past time for as long as I can remember, as it allows for me to be surrounded by a community of wonderful people and loving animals. Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to work with a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide last minute scheduling and holiday scheduling for pet owners! With minimal adjustments to hours and available days! I have a large fenced in yard for my two dogs, and have spent years learning how to play and interact with them in our space together! Even providing them with a separate space to cool off and relax away from the chaos of children, making sure they’re never to overwhelmed! Having pets has taught me some wonderful games such as tug of war, fetch, and keep away (a house favorite). I’ve learned with time that “animal lead play” is a wonderful way to get any fur baby to interact on a level they’re comfortable with. Offering opportunities for bonds and trust to form between us!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all personalities and needs. In addition to household pets, I’ve also raised cattle and goats through FFA, which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with animals that require daily care and attention. This experience has taught me how to stay consistent, follow instructions closely, and notice small changes in animal behavior or health. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” animals, I genuinely care for them and understand how to handle both calm and more challenging situations. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’m used to helping with feeding, cleaning, and general care for pets at home, and I also make time for walking, playing, and checking in on their needs regularly. I attend school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and I sometimes have a few responsibilities after school, but I’m pretty flexible and good at managing my time. Through FFA, I previously raised cattle and goats, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to stick to a care routine and pay attention to animals’ needs. School will be ending soon, so I will be even more available and flexible during the summer, which will allow me to take on more pet sitting opportunities and give pets more consistent care and attention. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also spend time with the pets to give them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to keep their space clean, safe, and respected, and I check in on them consistently so they feel cared for and not alone. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.
About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many pet dogs in my life. One whom was born sick; she had a sever type of mange and i had to give medication daily and bathe frequently. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with his hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! Need someone to have a companion the whole time you’re gone ? I got it, i’m always home! I am a full time momma trying to make a little extra cash to help my husband. Before staying home, I was in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist but left that behind to stay home with my newborn baby! My husband is off (Fri. - Sun.) so he helps me on weekends which are my busiest. We’re a team! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.
About: I like going the extra mile to make a relationship with the dogs! I like to give lots of love and attention to the dogs with all the time I can do! I am in school and that is my only obligation! I have all the time in the world to take care of all the cute pups! I care for the pets in the clients home by making sure their water is full and they are fed, toys are within reach, no messes are being made (if so i’ll clean them) and make sure there’s nothing bad for them to get into when no one is there!
About: Available for initial meet up - to ensure a good match. I've had many pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, frogs, rabbits, an injured horned owl, raccoons, and fish! I currently share my apartment with one special cat - a rescue cat named Mogwai. I've had both inside and outside dogs. I have trained several of my dogs (small breeds) so I have a fair amount of knowledge. I'm a 36 year old working from home as a retirement financial investment manager during the day. I have a lot of flexibility to be able to also take care of your pet! I think Rover is a great way to meet some cool pups and cats and help people with the many responsibilities of pet ownership. I look forward to meeting you and your pet/pets! Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I have ample flexibility to care for your fur baby. I’m an active person who like to talk walks and be outside while also loving a good pet cuddle. I ensure it is a good match between me and the animal. Generally speaking, let’s usually like me. I’d give them plenty of attention and love while also ensuring their basic needs like food, water, relief and exercise are met.
About: I’m an experienced and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping up with their routine, or simply providing some company. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines. I miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to make new memories with your pup! My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am a current Master's student at Texas Tech studying Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy. I have classes Monday-Wednesday, so after class I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am mostly available weekdays and available all day on weekends! I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs! My apartment has a dog park with tons of toys and room to play! It's also a nice area to take them for walks around the block.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for many years. I have helped watch dogs for my friends’ business around the holidays and busy seasons, as well. I have a large dog and a cat of my own, and I have had pets since I was a kid. I love dogs and cats, and I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to check in whenever needed. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to check on your pets whenever needed. My weekends are typically free, as well, which could allow for an occasional overnight visit. I can drop in to feed your pets, let them out, give them love, and walk them if needed. Occasionally, I may be available for overnight visits for older or more anxious pets.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all sizes including livestock which I showed to dogs 10lbs-175lbs, I’ve also owned cats, rabbits , chickens and about anything else you can think of! I’m familiar with administrating medications of many sorts and the basic health and anatomy! I’ve also dealt with mothering animals and their young ones! I love to build a bond with every animal and I can’t wait to build one with your pet! I’m currently a student and am free to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I’m very flexible to whenever you need me to be with your pet! I can fulfill most of your needs with my flexible schedule!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own at home. My grandma breeds dogs, so I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also pet sat for many families throughout high school and cared for different breeds and personalities. I truly love being around animals and treat every dog like my own. As a college student, I’m looking for a fun and reliable way to spend time with dogs while helping owners feel confident their pets are in great hands. I am currently just a full time college student so I have plenty of time to care and spend time with pets. I often only have classes 2 times a week so my other days are perfect for spending time caring for your pets needs! I have 3 pets at home that I feed, walk, and play with, so I am very used to spending lots of times with dogs!
About: I've owned many different pets including dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, and ferrets over the past 14 years - young and older pets alike! I am a licensed veterinary technician here in Texas (I was previously licensed in Nevada before moving to the Lubbock area) and as such, I am able to provide services such as medicating furbabies that need medications and providing transport to the veterinarian if necessary (either my place of employment or your own preferred clinic). Some of my own pets are on medication, so making sure your furbaby gets any medication they need will be no problem at all! Some of my pets also have special dietary needs, so you can have complete confidence that if your pet needs the same, all needs will be met. I work full-time during the week at a fairly busy veterinary hospital. As far as drop-in visits go, I am able to make morning and evening visits any day, and midday visits on a case-by-case basis. Drop-ins will be performed at the time requested UNLESS they fall in a time range where I will be working. In those cases, visits will be either early in the morning and/or in the evening after work. Daily pet care is a staple in my household since I have my own pets, many of which require medical care including special diets and medications. Any care requested by clients will be performed to the best of my ability. Whether it be simple feeding instructions or something more in-depth, rest assured that your pet's care is in very capable hands.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life. When family friends have gone out of town I have watched their dog or their cat along with taking care of my dogs and cat. Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.

“Delaney was awesome! She is one of those rare dog sitters who covers all the bases & then some. Not only does she open her home to your fur baby, but she takes the time to get to know each dog's temperament, dietary needs & schedule. Then, she loves each dog like it's her own. Daisy, Delaney's Golden, is the perfect co-host & makes this one happy place for your dog to stay. Our dog wasn't sure he was ready to come home! We are so blessed to have found Delaney for all of our future dog sitting needs. One stay with her & your search will be over.”

About: I am reliable and routine based. I will ensure the babies are fed,walked,bathed and receive the most love while in my care. Communication is very important to me and memories so I ensure that you will get FaceTime calls with the babies along with photos and videos and even some arts and crafts! I currently work from home so they furr babies will not be left alone. I have an SUV so car rides will be included if owner approved. I live in a two story loft apartment. It is Square Apartments ; so there is a beautiful walking trail on the complex and I also have a play area for the dogs inside of my home. Nap time is crucial so after play time I do play relaxing instrumentals to lounge and decompress. Rubs are a given and lots of hugs.

“We have been hesitant on leaving our dog with past boarding experiences. Needless to say Sarah completely changed our point of view. She took such great care of our fur baby. Communicated every day. We received pictures with updates several times a day! Will 100 percent recommend Sarah and will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve had the joy of caring for my own dogs, a big pup for 9 years and a little pup for 5 years and they’ve taught me so much about love, patience, responsibility, and companionship. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing fetch, going on walks, cuddling, or simply keeping them company.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life! I’ve had dogs from puppyhood through their senior years and have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering insulin and other medications. As an adult, I’ve had up to four dogs at once, ranging from a few months old to 11 years old, and helped train them with my partner. My family also has lots of pets, so I’ve always been around and helped care for animals beyond my own. I currently have one dog, Cash, who is very much my baby, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets! I am fully available from Friday-Sunday. I’m currently a full-time student Monday through Thursday, but my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day! I have an hour break between classes and a two-hour lunch each day, which gives me lots of opportunities to head home, spend time with my own dog, and give your pets some love and attention too. 🐾 I’m currently available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’d love the opportunity to spoil your pets while you’re away!
