About: Hello! My family and I are absolute pet lovers, and we would be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. We know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. Separation anxiety is incredibly common, and having a dependable, loving caretaker makes all the difference. When your dog stays with us, they become a part of our family. As a registered dietitian, attention to detail and proper care are second nature to me. I apply those same high standards to your pet, ensuring fresh water is always available and no meals or schedules are ever missed. You can fully relax on your trip knowing they are in safe, caring, and structured hands. I am available 7 days/week from 8AM-7PM. I am a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is flexible for your pet's needs. I am never too busy to take care of your pet. I will make scheduled visits to your home to ensure your furry friend is fed and let outside. Your pet will feel more comfortable in their environment, and I won't miss or be late for a visit. I am open to taking in dogs, depending on the breed and personality.
“Nathan and his wife took amazing care of our two dogs and truly treated them like their own. They sent us daily pictures, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time — it honestly felt like they were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible, especially when we almost had a weather-related emergency. When we picked our dogs up, they were excited to see us but also clearly loved staying with Nathan and his wife, which says everything. We’re so thankful for them and will absolutely book with them again. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Hands Down The Best! I Will Definitely Rebook Over And Over Again!!! 5 Stars All Around The Board. She Also Had Excellent Communication, Sent Plenty Of Pictures, and Even Sent Oreo Home With A Treat! Simply Amazing .”
“A wonderful setting and environment for your dog lots of nature. Trixie looked healthy and happy. I got good feedback on the behavior of my pup. Very warm and welcoming home for pets.”
“Anna did a great job caring for our Bruno. She was communicative and reliable, and sent regular updates so we knew he was in good hands. We had a flight delay and Anna accommodated our late pickup time, which we really appreciated. Thank you again, Anna! Would definitely book again.”
“They were incredibly kind, provided frequent photo and video updates, and took great care of my dog. I often use Rover for dog sitting, and this was by far the best experience I’ve had. 😃😃”
“Shannon and Ray took wonderful care of our dog with separation anxiety while we were away. They obviously made him feel right at home as evident from all the photos of him just relaxing without a care in the world. I think he would have been just fine moving in with them permanently! 😆. Communication with Shannon and Ray was excellent, they were very understanding and flexible in working with us on our pickup and dropoff times. Our pup didn’t need much of his anxiety medication at all while we were gone. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future. Lovely people. Thank you so much Shannon and Ray!”
“Took very good care of our two pups and we were extremely happy with their services. We had an issue and could not make the scheduled pick up time and they were very understanding and accommodating.”
“Brittny took great care of our girl, Heidi, during her stay. She was very communicative and shared pictures of our pup several times throughout the day. She even had an extra room with a doggie bed so our pup had her ‘own room’ for her stay. 😃 Highly recommend and we will happily board our pup with Brittny the next time our trip dates and her availability align!😊”

“Jessica did an amazing job with our two large dogs. They took right to her when she first met her and we had no issues with her taking care of them while we were gone. This is the first time we have used Rover to have someone come to our home while we were away and we are not disappointed one bit. We made sure to read reviews of all the sitters available in our area before choosing Jessica. We had a meet and greet with her and our pups to make sure it was a good fit, and we have to say, we made the right choice. She answered promptly, and when asked if she minded checking our mail one day when we had expected something important, she didn’t hesitate. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I've been working as a dog groomer for the past two years, but had to pause that to focus on my health. I've volunteered walking dogs in animal shelters, and as a child mucked horse barns and brushed/washed horses in exchange for riding lessons. 😂 I've loved animals my entire life. I was raised in a family of 2-6 dogs (it increased frequently) and will admit only here that I loved them more than I loved my sister! I'm currently coming out of treatment and unemployed, so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends! My only obligations are a weekly monday appointment and a biweekly friday appointment. I have a very nice, soft voice for any frightened pups, and am told I'm a bit of an animal whisperer. I will do my very best to connect with your animals and individualize my care in any way I can!
About: From kittens to fragile seniors, I love them all. I can assist with any tasks including, feedings, litter box duties, play time, and medications. Let me know what your furry babies favorite activities are.
“Chelsey was awesome checking in on Murph while I was out of town. She sent pics and descriptions of each visit which was very reassuring to me because it was my first time not boarding him. Murphy loves her and I felt very comfortable having him in her care. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Kayla has been reliable and we love the photos she sent of our Skitty. She was very communicative—letting us know when she arrived, bringing in a package for us, and responding promptly to all of my messages. Her daughter also clearly knows how to meet animals for the first time—she stayed still and let Skitty approach and sniff her hand. For a 4-year-old, that really impressed us and seemed to help Skitty feel comfortable. It was reassuring to know Skitty was in such capable and trustworthy hands”
“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”
“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”

“I could tell Odie was very comfortable and loved being at Susan’s for doggy day care after the first day. He was happy at pick up and the next day he jumped out the car when I dropped him off. Susan takes great care of Odie and I know he gets lots of loving and exercise! Naps in the car on the way home. Will definitely book with Susan again.”
“Chiaochih was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy! She sent updates regularly throughout the day, let me know how much our puppy ate and how she was doing. She was very attentive to our puppy and sent pics of her playing! Our puppy came home every day happy and tired- the best type of puppy! Would HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Trey was so great with my fur baby! I contacted him on short notice and he responded quickly. Great communication throughout the day. My girl had a blast with Trey and the other dogs....will definitely call him again.”
“Ms Sara took wonderful care of our Bandit! She sent photos and kept us updated throughout the day, as this was only his 2nd time ever being in doggy daycare. She even extended her hours a little bit for us. When in the Killeen area again, we will definitely use Ms Sara!”
About: Welcome to Your Pup's Second Home Hi there! I’m Gunja, and I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home. Here, every pup gets the love, attention, and care they truly deserve because I know how hard it is to leave your baby in someone else’s hands. We have a large, private half-acre backyard that’s perfect for dogs who love to run, sniff around, and just be dogs. Whether your pup is a sprinter or a sniffer, there’s plenty of room to explore, play, and get some fresh air. It’s a safe, enclosed space where they can roam freely while I keep a close eye on them. One of the biggest things that sets my care apart. I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t spend long hours alone or in a crate waiting for someone to come check in. They’ll have my full, undivided attention from morning to night. Think of it as a vacation for your pup, with a devoted human who’s always around to play, cuddle, or just sit together. Medication & Special Needs: I’m fully comfortable administering oral medications, supplements, and following specific care routines. If your dog has dietary restrictions, health conditions, or a particular schedule they thrive on, I’ll follow it to the letter. Every dog is different, and I take those differences seriously. I also have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. Older pups need a little extra patience, and gentleness. Slow walks, cozy resting spots, careful monitoring is top priority here. Your senior baby is in good hands here. Our sweet Maltese, Milo, is the friendliest little guy you’ll ever meet. He loves playing with other dogs and has a way of making every new visitor feel right at home almost instantly. What You Can Expect • 📸 Regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing • Consistent feeding and routine based on your schedule, not mine • A calm, quiet home environment. No chaos, no stress • Lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and genuine affection • Open communication with you throughout the entire stay 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I truly believe that dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family. Trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a longer visit, your pup will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them! Being a stay-at-home-dog mom helps so much. Being able to spend all my time with my little pup is so fulfilling. I have all my time to devote to your little furry child and keep them happy and safe while they're away from home and their warmth. We have a pretty comfortable house with no restrictions for your pup. There is a massive backyard that they can have a great time getting their exercise or simply getting their tan on. Of course, they will get their regular walks and any enrichment activity they'd get at home. Milo (our pup) and I, are homebodies for the most part. We're always home to give 100% of our time and care to your pup
“We were so thankful that Satrishna was open to providing daycare on short notice for our dog Monty. Her dog, Fluffy, was a friendly playmate. Monty came home happy & tired from lots of playtime. Highly recommend.”
About: Hello, my name is Lynn P. I am a mother with 2 dogs. I have a 7-year-old jack Russell terrier his name is Max. And I also have a 3-year-old Doberman name is Apollo. They're both very calm and loved and well behaved and loves to meet new friends to hang out with. Apollo and Max sure knows how to welcome new dogs in the house they're both very gentle and playful at the same time. I work from home most of my time through the week. So, they will get lots of attention throughout the days. I usually take the boys out 3x a day to stretch out their legs and burn off some energy. Don't worry your dogs will get the same love as my own dogs. I will care for your pets and make sure they are comfortable and safe. They will get more attention than my own dog probably. Just kidding. Not only you will gain my trust with your family dog, but your dog will also make new friends. Currently working from home most of the time of the week. I am open for new guest to join the club. I have two dogs myself and my daughter loves keeping them entertain. I have a balcony where they can go out to sunbathe both my dogs love doing that during the afternoon. But they don’t use it to pee or poop it’s only for relaxing if they want fresh air. I also take the boys out in the morning and afternoon and one last walk before bedtime. My boys get 2 meals a day along with their vitamins. And after a nice walk they will be reward for dog dental treat.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 4 years to onboard and train new volunteers. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.
About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with experience looking after both dogs and cats. I grew up helping care for family dogs, including walks, playtime, and giving them lots of affection and attention. I’ve also been around cats since I was young, and currently live with two cats, so I understand their different personalities and how to care for them with patience and respect. Having my own puppy has also helped me build practical experience with routines, basic training, supervision, and the patience that young pets need. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel that their animals are in loving and trustworthy hands, and I always do my best to provide calm, attentive, and affectionate care. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them company are things I’m happy to build into my day. I’m used to caring for pets consistently at home, including my 3-month-old puppy and two cats, so I understand the importance of routine, supervision, patience, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether a pet needs active play, companionship, or a calmer pace, I’m able to adapt to their needs. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, so I always focus on creating a calm and loving environment. In my home, I care for my puppy and two cats, and they coexist well, which has taught me a lot about supervision, patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s space and personality. I also have a backyard for safe, supervised outdoor time. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and respect the pet’s routine so they can feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Nicole was very good. Our girls had fun as we saw from the pictures and videos. Very much appreciated the last minute accomodations! We would definitely use Nicole again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 20+ years and have two amazing daughters that love animals and want to grow up to be veterinarians, we are excited to share our home with your amazing loved one with plenty of love and comfort while you’re away. I work from home so will have plenty of availability to have in person time for pet care, play time, potty breaks, and fun activities. Each pet is different so I always apply a lot of time to understand each ones needs to make sure that each visit is a positive and safe space.

About: Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA, ABCDT) Veterinary Technician with CPR and first aid training. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my 30 years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, combined with an intuitive ability to understand their emotional and physical needs. I don’t just provide basic care—I offer calm, attentive, connection-based support that helps animals feel safe, seen, and understood while their families are away. From sensitive pets to high-energy personalities to animals with unique routines, I adapt easily and confidently. My background allows me to notice subtle changes, respond with compassion, and maintain a peaceful environment that keeps pets relaxed and happy. Every animal is treated with the same care, respect, and gentleness I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been dedicated to for decades. My schedule is flexible and intentionally built around being available for the pets I care for. Whether it’s morning check-ins, mid-day visits, evening routines, or overnight stays, I make space to ensure each pet gets consistent attention, comfort, and the time they need to feel safe and supported. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and calming environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours. I live in a highly sought-after neighborhood surrounded by safe parks, and my home includes a fully fenced yard, comfortable spaces, and all the tools needed to create a “home-away-from-home” experience—not a kennel environment. Pets enjoy freedom, comfort, and structure without feeling confined or stressed. With my CPDT-KA certification and veterinary assistant experience, I’m trained to recognize stress signals, prevent anxiety, and create a peaceful routine that helps every pet feel secure, understood, and truly at ease.

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve watched multiple friends and family dogs for them. I’m an animal lover. I just prefer dogs because I’m allergic to cats, even though I own two outside. I’ve worked with rescuers and fosters to help out in the community. This side job would fill my heart just loving your fur baby. I have 5 animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a chameleon. They are spoiled babies. I have to make sure they are taken care of on a daily basis. I would love them! I would play with them, walk them, feed them, whatever needed. In my home my animals are spoiled on a daily basis.
“Book her she is the best!! She treated my dog with love and care as if he was her own! She sent pictures, sends updates, plays with the fur babies. I recommend and will book again for my next vacation”

About: As an Adventure Specialist, I offer your pet much more than standard neighborhood walks; I provide enrichment hikes and structured play designed to satisfy both their mind and body. I am highly proficient in reading dog body language to ensure safety in new environments and adapt the pacing and duration of our adventures to suit your pet's specific needs. For shy or anxious friends, I bring a reliable calm energy that fosters a quick, loving, and trusting bond. You can always depend on my professional commitment, which includes strict punctuality and adherence to all routines, expert handling of customized care (such as medication or specific diets), and preparedness with basic pet first aid. Most importantly, I guarantee your peace of mind through prompt, detailed communication, including photo and text updates of all our happy adventures! Pet care isn't just a part of my schedule; it is my schedule. As a full-time sitter, my days are structured around the needs of my animals under my care. This means there are no conflicting work meetings or commutes, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's schedule. I dedicate morning, midday, and evening blocks specifically to walks, feedings, and play sessions, with plenty of time in between for communication and customized care. When choosing House Sitting, your pet receives my full commitment to deliver Epic Adventures and Warm Hugs right in their familiar environment, which I think is the best choice for anxious or multi-pet homes. As your pet sitter, I like to get a detailed overview of your pets' exact routine (meals, beds, schedule) so I can minimize stress and ensure maximum comfort. Our days are filled with Heartfelt Hikes on familiar trails, keeping our adventures safe and enriching, and all potty breaks are timely and consistent. Beyond premium pet care, you gain added home security and peace of mind, as I handle basic home needs like mail and plant care with the same professional attention.
“Shima has been awesome. Brice loves her daily walks and we didn't have to miss her walks while we were in town for the holidays. Shima was very accommodating around the weather and timing of the walks and it is clear that Brice enjoys her time with Shima. Thank you so much, we will be back in touch next time we are in the area.”

I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.
About: I love dog sitting 🩷 This is a relax home with a large backyard. I enjoy helping neighbors and friends by taking good care of their fur babies when needed. I have a very friendly Siberian Husky who is always friendly and full of energy. The pets can be kept together or in separate rooms, depending on their behavior. I keep my pets on a feeding schedule but I’m flexible with their playtime and walk time. Working from home allows me to be there for any needs the person might have. My pets are fully vaccinated and I require animals staying over to be up to date with vaccines as well. I have a fenced yard and security system in and out of the house to keep an eye on my pets at all times.
“This was my first time using Rover. I can’t recommend Jessica enough! My situation was a little different; we are visiting family in Marble Falls but my husband and I spent a few days in Austin and needed someone to walk our dog. We didn’t have personal interaction with Jessica but my mother in law did and said she was very polite and professional. So much so they she shared her information with the neighbors. Thank you Jessica.”
About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Summer "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."

“Joe took excellent care or our greyhound for several days. He's very detail oriented, caring, and took the time to give us updates and pics. He always responded promptly, and we absolutely will reach out to him again when we need someone to take care of our shortest family member in the future!”
“Tristan was awesome with my nervous dog and gained her trust super quickly. We did doggy daycare / day boarding and Tristan made sure Ricochet had lots of fun during her stay at her house. We were super happy with everything and plan to book again in the future.”
“Rowan was AWESOME! We had last minute plans pop up, and Rowan was there when we needed! She took great care of Flint, and sent pictures for updates, which we love! I will be using Rowan again, and recommending her to friends and family from here on out. :)”
“Billy is wonderful with our 3 pups! He had them for 8 nights and he has watched our pups on multiple occasions and they seem to have a wonderful time. They come home uninjured and do not appear to be stressed.”
“Ashley and Kristene are amazing! I had a last minute emergency to make happen and they really showed up! I will absolutely be booking with them in the future 💕”
“Nathan and his wife took amazing care of our two dogs and truly treated them like their own. They sent us daily pictures, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and having a great time — it honestly felt like they were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive, kind, and flexible, especially when we almost had a weather-related emergency. When we picked our dogs up, they were excited to see us but also clearly loved staying with Nathan and his wife, which says everything. We’re so thankful for them and will absolutely book with them again. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“A wonderful setting and environment for your dog lots of nature. Trixie looked healthy and happy. I got good feedback on the behavior of my pup. Very warm and welcoming home for pets.”
“Brittny took great care of our girl, Heidi, during her stay. She was very communicative and shared pictures of our pup several times throughout the day. She even had an extra room with a doggie bed so our pup had her ‘own room’ for her stay. 😃 Highly recommend and we will happily board our pup with Brittny the next time our trip dates and her availability align!😊”
“Ashwani and his family took great care of my Dublin. I got great feedback and daily updates on my boy. He was also so understanding that our pick up time was going to be a little later in the evening than expected. Dublin can't wait to see them again. Thanks again Ashwani.”
“We had an excellent experience with Holly and Brady! They are passionate dog lovers and took wonderful care of Coco and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout the stay. Our dog got along great with theirs, and it was clear she felt right at home. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Holly and Brady to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters!”
“Manny took great care of our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. He was organized, very responsive, and kept us updated with pictures. We also had a last minute emergency and needed to extend the booking, and he agreed right away at the regular rate, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and will book with him again.”
“Desiree is an amazing Pet Sitter! She was so good with our Reggie, and he really loved her. She sent so many photos, even though we were on a cruise, and could only see them when we would be in a port. I could tell he was so happy to have someone playing with him and caring for him. We didn’t have to worry about him at all! We would love to have her keep him again the next time. We highly recommend her!”
“We are repeat clients of Julie, and once again, her care for our dog was as exceptional as ever. This time, we had to leave unexpectedly due to a death in the family, and Julie and her family were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Their kindness and flexibility made a difficult time a little easier, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We truly appreciate the love and attention they provide, and we'll continue to use Julie's services without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
