“Kate and her daughter were absolutely amazing with our Ruthie!! Super communicative, sent a lot of super cute pictures, and treated her like family. We could tell our pup got a lot of TLC and are so thankful. Highly recommend ?”
“Had a bit of a panic when our original sitter cancelled 4 days before we were supposed to go out of state, but Luliia came to the rescue! Tucker spent 10 days living his best life, was SO well taken care of and got to play with so many friends, he already can’t wait to go back! Communication was flawless, and getting sent pictures of our boy and seeing him enjoy himself was amazing. 10/10, will absolutely book and recommend time and time again. Thank you so much again!❤️”
“They were so sweet! Sent pictures each day and when I ran late getting back They offered to keep her an extra night. They also woke up at 130 am so that I could pick her up because I didnt want to spend another night without her!! Amazing sitters.”
“We recently booked with Clarice and could not have been happier. She communicated with us well and often, sent us pictures of our Baby while we were away, and was very easy to work with as far as drop off and pick up times. It is hard to find someone to take care of our pets and we are glad to have found Clarice.”
“Bella did so great with Mercedes and her family. Mercedes gave us so many updates and pictures so we could see how Bella was doing. We appreciate it so much and definitely will be using her services again!!”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our pups. She went above and beyond, even taking one of them to our vet (with our consent, of course!) when she noticed something wasn't quite right. She kept us updated, sent pics and videos and loved on our babies while we were on vacation.”
“Grace was phenomenal with our puppy. She is very attentive and I could tell she showed him so much love. This was the happiest he has been with a sitter thus far. Highly recommend!!”
“My pup always loves staying with Ashley and her boys :') I almost feel bad taking her home with me LOL. Ashley is always so communicative keeps me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Always grateful for her and her family!!”
“As an anxious dog mom who had never left my dog with sitters before (and a former Rover sitter myself), I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Savannah and Gabriel! They were incredibly communicative and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. Churro is still a puppy and potty training, and they were so understanding and even helped continue working with her. She had the best time playing with Kona and the other small dogs. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing she was in such great hands. We’ll absolutely book with them again!”
“She was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She kept me updated often with messages, pictures, and little moments throughout the day, which truly gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was not only well taken care of, but genuinely loved while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive, communicative, and thoughtful she was the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she watches. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”
“Denise provided a loving, comfortable environment for my pup. Very good about his care, communicating with me, and all around professionalism. Will happily have her sit for us again!”
“Patches was great! She took excellent care of our 17 year old buddy and was great at communicating throughout his stay. They sent lots of pictures and eased our mind throughout his stay. He can be a handful and patches made us feel like he was in great hands. Thank you!”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!”
“Madelyn and her husband were wonderful with watching our dogs. I have a very particular German shepherd and they really accommodated her behavior. I have another dog that needs daily medications and sometimes they are not the easiest to give her but they made sure she received them every day. They kept me updated and sent lots of cute photos. Thank you so much Madelyn and Barrett, yall are the best!”
“I requested Katy’s services on short notice and couldn’t be happier. She asked all the right questions and was communicative and reassuring. My cats are a tad shy but she was able to coax them out of their shells for play time and pets. She was thorough and respectful and I will absolutely be booking with her in the future! Thanks, Katy!”
“We had a last minute occasion pop-up that required us being gone overnight and Sylvia came to the rescue! We enjoyed meeting her and Sylvia took the time to sit and talk to us and establish a bond with our fur babies before her first drop-in. We chatted and the gang of two was very comfortable with her. So were we! We could have talked to her all day! Sylvia is very attentive and followed our feeding and potty break instructions perfectly. We have a senior dog that is moving slower these days and we have a two year old kitten that is still clinging to his feral ways and wants to run outside every time we let the dog out. Sylvia handled it like a champ! We are so happy to have met her. She’s excellent at what she does and is such a nice person! We look forward to booking her again.”
“Ande was a great choice! She is very professional and responsive and provides great feedback and photos. Ande is also super nice and helps put nervous pet parents at ease. This was our kitties first time alone and I was completely comfortable that he was taken care of. Thanks Ande!”
“Brandy responded to a very last minute request for my sick kitty which I appreciated. She followed the directions and was very communicative. She took care of my kitty and I felt at ease that she was in good hands.”
About: I am a self-described cat lady - I absolutely love cats! I’ve had cats ever since I can remember, with experience and a soft spot for caring for senior cats. I’ve also cared for a pregnant cat and then helped raise a litter of kittens! Additionally, I have experience in administering medication to kitties. I have a few cats of my owns, so it may be better for me to care for your kitty in their own environment. However, my cats are used to other pets in the home, so your kitty is more than welcome at my home. I offer complimentary meet and greets to see if it’s a good fit.
About: I’ve loved caring for cats since I was 8, starting with my grandmother’s cat. I’ve also raised my own kitten, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, cuddles, cleaning, and keeping cats comfortable, happy, and safe.
About: From growing up with my childhood dog, and multiple dogs at my grandmothers house, I’ve had experience with dogs since a very young age. I currently have three sweethearts. An American cocker spaniel, a rescue pup, and a rescue kitten. I have watched countless friends dogs and cats as well, and will never say no. I’m absolutely in love with any and all kinds of animals. Your babies will be treated just like mine! Just like family🩷! I currently am self employed and pick my own schedule. I usually work early am around 3 am to around 8 am. My evening shifts are around 3-4 hours long as well. My schedule is always available to be changed for your pet needs. All care instructions will be followed. Pets are also allowed on the furniture, and crates are also available. Daily play and walks are also provided
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since I was old enough to remember. Fun fact, my first ever word was “kitty!” From taking care of my own cats, to taking on others, I’ve encountered a variety of needs and personalities which make me confident that I can handle almost any type of cat.
About: I didn't grow up with cats, but I met them through friends and roommates in my twenties and quickly fell for them. What started as living alongside other people's cats turned into a real love for them, and today I own two of my own. I understand that every cat has its own personality, from confident and social to shy and independent, and I adjust my approach to what each one needs. I'm attentive to routines, litter box habits, and the small things that help a cat feel secure while their person is away.
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? No one has magic hands like I do! I truly believe I give the best scratches and belly rubs, and I think your pet would agree. Aside from that, I LOVE to play! I never want your pet to feel bored or ignored. I believe they should get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise so that when you come home after a long day of work, they’re happy, tired, and ready to relax with you. My goal is for your pet to be just as excited to see me again as I am to see them! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet more than once so I can build a genuine bond with them and become someone they feel comfortable and happy around. Although I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I’ve taken care of pets simply because I love animals and want to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for. I regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five dogs when he’s away, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I hope you’ll give me the chance to show you that I can care for your pet just like they’re my own. I may be a new Rover sitter, but I’m ready to give your pet all the love, attention, playtime, and, of course, those magic scratches they deserve! I’m currently a full-time student at Texas State University, so I do have a busy schedule, but I take my bookings seriously and would never want to commit to something I couldn’t follow through with. I’m available for drop-ins and walks during the week, and on weekends I’m available all day. Because of my weekend availability, house sitting is my preferred service, since I can give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your schedule when I can and will always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home because my apartment is a little too small. However, I’m more than happy to house sit in your home! I’m very attentive to your pet’s routine, likes, dislikes, and any specific instructions you have for me. I want to make sure I’m providing care exactly the way you would want it. 🐕 Dog Walking Your dog’s safety is my top priority! If your dog isn’t comfortable around unfamiliar dogs, I’ll keep a safe distance from other dogs we come across on our walk. I’d rather give them plenty of space than risk an uncomfortable situation. Since we’ll be outside, I’ll also make sure your pup gets plenty of water and has a comfortable, safe walk. 🐾 Drop-Ins For drop in visits, I’ll make sure your pet is doing well, has everything they need, and gets plenty of love, attention, and, of course lots of scratches! I’ll also follow any feeding, bathroom, medication, or other instructions you leave for me.
About: I have watched really any animal there is for 10+ years! I’m that reliable person you call when you need someone to take care of your pets! I’m currently open full time! I can do walks during the say or pet sit overnight. I can manage multiple pets at a time as well! I can easily crate your pet if needed! I also have a beautiful dog park close by and awesome trails I can take your pet too!
About: Until I moved to start my MA, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my entire life with dogs of all ages and energy levels by my side. I’d love to show your companion some love and care while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week in the mornings and evenings and I’m available all day on the weekends. Between studying and teaching as I pursue my MA in archaeology at Texas State University, I often take breaks by gardening and hiking, and I would love to share the fresh air with a furry friend. Taking your companion out for a walk or playdate would make my day! I’m unable to own a pet at my current residence, but I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence or in a public space. I’m comfortable feeding/watering, bathroom needs, and spending time with pets indoors or outdoors.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teeneager and have been a pet parent for just as many years. I currently have two boston terriers of my own, Cooper and Chloe. I'm semi retired and have lots of availability. i love dogs of all kinds and it gives me great pleasure to interact with and care for dogs. I will feed, walk, play with your dogs and administer any necessary medication. I'm retired so I can work around any schedule you need me to.

“We can’t thank Allina enough for taking such amazing care of our dogs, especially on such short notice. We were in a stressful situation trying to find someone last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was so patient, understanding, and treated our dogs with care. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and compassion. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Allina. We would absolutely book with her again when we are back 🩷!”
About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.
“Stephanie and Fern are the best pet sitters! They're friendly and always keeps us updated with plenty of pictures and videos! Its more like doggie camp for Grover because hes never bored and is always on an adventure! If you want your dog to have the best day while youre away, use Stephanie!”
“Anthony was great! Quick response to daycare request and kept me updated with videos and pictures of Max. Max looked very happy and was nice and pooped when we got home! Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Cannot say how much we appreciate Iuliia and her care of our boy. She saved us in a last minute situation with our very anxious dog, and was amazing with him. Best rover we could have asked for.”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“Yan was a great Dogsitter for my Theo. Yan sent several photos throughout the day and I could tell Theo was enjoying his stay and play dates with the other dogs. I definitely will use her servíces again, if she’ll have us back. ☺️”
“Mirella did an amazing job taking care of Bella! She took her on walks, brought her to PetSmart, explored the Square, and even enjoyed some coffee together. I loved hearing about all the fun activities and how well Bella behaved. Mirella was attentive, caring, and made sure Bella had a great day. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Bella was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Mirella to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Amelia was an amazing sitter for my Kevin. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was also flexible with my schedule and great about communication. I will definitely be using Amelia in the future!!”
About: In addition to pet sitting, I also offer a convenient pet transportation service—perfect for safely getting your pet to and from grooming appointments, vet visits, or even a fun day out. It’s all part of my commitment to providing full-service care for your furry family member. As a special thank you, the first client to complete 7 consecutive days of pet sitting with us will receive a free pet transport and free grooming service on us! Your pet gets pampered—and you get peace of mind. As a dedicated pet sitter and loving pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like family. I prioritize safety above all else, making sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you're away. With strong relationships with local groomers and vets, I’m well-connected and prepared for anything your pet may need. I offer personalized attention, dependable service, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in trusted hands. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because it’s not just a job—it’s my lifestyle. As a pet owner myself, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks. Adding another furry friend to the mix fits right in, and I’m always happy to give them the same love, attention, and structure I give my own dog. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with access to a secure backyard for play and potty breaks. I also take them on nearby trail walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They’ll have companionship from my friendly miniature schnauzer, Luna, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely—meals, walks, and favorite activities—to help them feel secure and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect.

About: I have had two dogs throughout my entire life. One of them is a younger German Shepherd, and the other one was a 15 year old Shi Tzu. I am able to walk dogs for as long as needed. I can play with and take care of dogs that have a lot of energy. I also can care for dogs who are sick and need to take medication, for I had to do this with my Shi Tzu for about a year before he passed. Although I have not yet pet-sitted professionally, I am very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for and loving all different types of animals, especially dogs! My schedule is pretty flexible! I can come in during early mornings, late nights, in the middle of the day, weekends, etc. I do have longer class days on Mondays and Wednesdays, but we can discuss further if interested! I’m pretty much available any day of the week, and I do accept same-day bookings. I would prefer to go to the client’s home if the dog is a bit smaller. I have a large and friendly german shepherd who has loads of energy. I understand that this can sometimes overwhelm certain pets with certain personalities.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm experienced with puppies and can reinforce basic training, potty schedules, crate training, and positive behaviors through consistency and patience. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing the extra attention and gentle care they need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special requirements, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently a college student so I can provide pet care before and after classes. I am also free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up around pets and have also had a cat of my own, so I understand how different each pet’s personality and needs can be. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care As a college student taking my courses online, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, daytime visits, and overnight stays. I provide in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, maintain a clean environment, and keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow their usual routine and all instructions provided, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I keep their space clean and secure, provide plenty of attention, and always communicate with the owner so they know their pet is happy and doing well.
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.
“Blayre has been terrific with our dogs. They both were so excited to see her and loved their walks. She was fantastic with the dogs and she even picked up the yard where the dogs had torn up one of their toys. We highly recommended Blayre for services.”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Great Pyrenees, raised puppies from birth, loved senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for rescue dogs with unique personalities and needs. My own family includes four spoiled pups: a 12-year-old Chihuahua, a 12-year-old rescue, and two playful French Bulldog puppies who keep me on my toes every day. They are my babies, and I know that’s exactly how you feel about yours. I understand that hiring a sitter means trusting someone with a member of your family. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and all the little things that help them feel happy and secure. I am taking the summer off before returning to school three days a week this fall. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My own daily routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight care fits naturally into my day. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve rather than feeling rushed between appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personalities and routines. I know that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether that’s medication, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines, I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, keep a clean environment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furbaby is happy and well cared for.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life—big and small, high-energy pups that never stop moving, and laid-back dogs that love to lounge all day. No matter their personality, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and entertained. I'm a college student and available for dog sitting during the following times: Monday–Friday : 12 PM – 12 AM Saturday-Sunday: 6AM - 12 AM I provide safe, reliable care for dogs, ensuring they stay comfortable and happy. I follow their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. With plenty of attention and playtime, I make sure every pup feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

“Kate and her daughter were absolutely amazing with our Ruthie!! Super communicative, sent a lot of super cute pictures, and treated her like family. We could tell our pup got a lot of TLC and are so thankful. Highly recommend ?”
“Had a bit of a panic when our original sitter cancelled 4 days before we were supposed to go out of state, but Luliia came to the rescue! Tucker spent 10 days living his best life, was SO well taken care of and got to play with so many friends, he already can’t wait to go back! Communication was flawless, and getting sent pictures of our boy and seeing him enjoy himself was amazing. 10/10, will absolutely book and recommend time and time again. Thank you so much again!❤️”
“We had an amazing experience with Allina. She made the entire boarding process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Our two pups, Luna and Zoe stayed with her for 5 nights while we traveled out of state, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Allina kept us updated throughout their stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure both our pups felt at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“We recently booked with Clarice and could not have been happier. She communicated with us well and often, sent us pictures of our Baby while we were away, and was very easy to work with as far as drop off and pick up times. It is hard to find someone to take care of our pets and we are glad to have found Clarice.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our pups. She went above and beyond, even taking one of them to our vet (with our consent, of course!) when she noticed something wasn't quite right. She kept us updated, sent pics and videos and loved on our babies while we were on vacation.”
“My pup always loves staying with Ashley and her boys :') I almost feel bad taking her home with me LOL. Ashley is always so communicative keeps me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Always grateful for her and her family!!”
“Rox seamed to really enjoy Michelle and her family. The walking video;s were very cute showing how well he behaved with Michelle's daughter at the helm ;) Already scheduled another stay in early October!!!!!”
“Super kind couple with amazing dogs of their own. They took great care of our older guy that takes multiple meds at different times of the day. Can’t say it’s to easy to care for him and they did a outstanding job! We are grateful for Nicole and her husband!”
“She was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She kept me updated often with messages, pictures, and little moments throughout the day, which truly gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was not only well taken care of, but genuinely loved while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive, communicative, and thoughtful she was the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she watches. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”
“Denise provided a loving, comfortable environment for my pup. Very good about his care, communicating with me, and all around professionalism. Will happily have her sit for us again!”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
