“Wonderful first-time experience with Rover. Communication was excellent. Angela and family cared for my fur-baby as if he was their own. Will definitely book again and again for future travel!”
“I would definitely recommend Michele as a sitter for anyone. She kept me updated all day with photos and kept my dog busy the entire time. I will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Barbara is a very kind person. her set up is very secure for all of her visitors. Chelsea was very happy with her visit and her new furry friends. I would highly recommend Barbara for anyone who is looking for a loving place to leave their four legged family members. Jim”
“Beverly did a great job of communicating with us and providing pictures and updates on how our beagle was doing. Our beagle appeared to have enjoyed herself much more here than with some other places we have tried. She is a low energy dog and seemed to enjoy being able to find a spot and settle in for a nap like she would at home.”
“Courtney and her family were SO good with our girl! They welcomed her right into the family and took excellent care of her! I have no doubt we will use Courtney again to care for Ellie Mae.”
“Tammy was excellent caring for Adam and I felt like she cared about me as well in offering me reassurance that he was in good hands. I could tell she loves animals and shared many photos of their time together which was thoughtful, comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Tammy!!”
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but at times I do have to make trips outside of the house. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
“Thank you Shannon for taking such great care and loving Archie while we were out of town. So happy I have found you!! I was not worried at all and it made our vacation better. See you again!! Thank you!!”
“Leslie was great! She answered any questions I had and was super quick to respond. Marley and Fenway had a great time, and I felt totally comfortable leaving them with Leslie. Will definitely use her again, thanks so much!!”
“Thank you for taking care of Darwin. Very happy he had another pup to play with and had a good time on his stay. I appreciate Jessica being flexible with drop off and pick up times. :-D”
“Kathryn did a great job of taking care of our dog. She regularly sent pictures and let us know how he was doing. Kathryn actively engages with the pets and their owners and is very helpful. Highly recommended!”
“Nora was great! Our fur baby really enjoyed playing with her kids and dogs. She was awesome with updating us with pictures! We will most definitely be using Nora again for future dog sitting occasions!”
About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.
“Mary is amazing. Extremely professional. Exceptional communication when you are away and worried how your dog will do. Mary is top notch.

About: I was raised with cats but unfortunately my husband is allergic so therefore can’t have one. Cats are my forever favorite. Cats are so affection and adorable all they want is to be rubbed.
“Enya was a consummate professional and dutiful caregiver for my cat while I was away. She was kind, communicative, and patient earning my cat's trust and showing her love and affection while house sitting. I'd recommend her services to anyone in need of a trusted pet service professional.”
“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”
About: Every cat has a unique personality; some want affection, some prefer space. I adapt to what makes your cat feel secure. I’m comfortable with shy, senior, and high energy cats and pay close attention to subtle behavior or appetite changes. I provide reliable dropins, fresh food and water, litter maintenance, playtime (if they’re interested), and detailed updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: Hi there! I’m Stefanie — a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience in dog grooming, kennel care, and pet sitting. I graduated from Texas All Breed Grooming School in 2005 and have worked with dogs of every size, breed, and personality ever since! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs in both professional settings and my own home, including my own pack — two American Akitas, two medium mixed breeds, one sweet Shih Tzu, and three cats. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing calm, patient, and loving care that keeps tails wagging and owners at ease. Whether your furry friend needs a companion while you’re away, a patient hand for special needs or senior pets, or just someone experienced who truly “gets” dogs and cats — I’m here to help. Since I groom part-time, my schedule is very flexible and leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits, walks, or in-home pet sitting. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. Whether your furry friend needs a midday potty break, company while you’re at work, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in my home. I have a separate, secure area just for guest dogs, giving them space to relax and feel at home while staying safe and stress-free. The area is kept clean, cozy, and supervised, with plenty of room for rest and play.
About: Being a former Vet tech, I'm well conditioned to the vast array of kitty personalities! Some are loveable, some just wan to be left alone! I'm familiar with giving medication, treating hairballs, and keeping their area clean and smelling fresh!
About: I've taken care of pets for over twenty plus years. From puppy or kitten to senior or special needs I tailor my services to each pet's individual needs and preferences. I am punctual, responsive and responsible. I can provide regular updates and photos upon request. I homeschool my two kiddos so our schedule is very flexible. We look forward to loving on and caring for your fur baby while you're away! I have a fenced yard, one mini Aussie and chickens in the back. I am home to take your pup out or they can roam free within the fenced yard.
“I would definitely book again, Natasha sent plenty of pictures and communicated how my dog was doing. I plan on booking with her in the future for any future trips we can’t bring our dog along to. 10/10 recommend.”
“Casey was great at communicating all the way from when we were looking for someone to pet sit all the way through her stay. She would send us pictures of the kitty crew. 😺 She stayed the night at our home while we were away. Would definitely use Casey again!”
About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!

“Alexandra is exactly what we needed! This was only my second time using Rover and I accidentally sent her to the wrong address(over 30 min away) 🤦🏻♀️ however she was so kind to go to our new address and take care of our babies! I could give her 5 stars on that alone, but she was so great at checking in even on our extra shy cat who hides from everyone. She even got her to come out!!! She cleaned the litter boxes more than we anticipated and was overall amazing! If you’re a beginner using Rover, Alexandra will provide all the comfort you need.”
About: I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m patient and attentive, which helps with both puppies learning routines and senior pets who need extra care. I’m happy to reinforce basic training, keep consistent feeding and potty schedules, and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are in good hands. 🐾 I work a consistent 8–5 or 9–6 schedule during the week, so I plan visits before or after work. I make sure pets are fed on time, have clean spaces, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and care during visits. I’m reliable about keeping routines consistent so both dogs and cats feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐶🐱🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. I make sure dogs get their walks, feeding, and playtime, and that cats have fresh food, clean litter boxes, and attention if they want it. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. 🐶🐱🐾

“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”

About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but at times I do have to make trips outside of the house. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.

About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.
“This was the very first time I’ve used a kennel but after I met Sarah I was at ease leaving Ka$h with her. I had no worries and was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in a loving home. Will definitely request her for our next trip.”
“Mary is amazing. Extremely professional. Exceptional communication when you are away and worried how your dog will do. Mary is top notch. I was in a bind and was able to book her with less than 24hrs of me leaving. Her care and attention to detail is phenomenal. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond. Very grateful”
