“TJs stay with Nicole was Awesome! I needed a dog sitter quickly. I searched for sitters within 2 day before my trip and Nicole responded very promptly. She sent me pics periodically through out the duration of TJs stay which we loved! Before the stay we did a meet and greet that allowed TJ to get a sense of where he would be and for me to see the house. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter that will treat your pet like her own!”
“I can't say enough good things about Ariel. When my other sitter on Rover cancelled the same day, I scrambled to find someone that would be willing to keep her with only a two hour notice. Ariel said she would be happy to watch her and she provided amazing loving care. My puppy looked so happy and Ariel took many pictures and shared it with me. I'm so grateful to have found her and will only be booking with her in the future.”
“Kimberly was great! We left buddy with her for several days and she sent us lots of pictures and videos of buddy hanging out and having fun. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Gentry, thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies! I know Goldendoodles have a ton of energy, and can be a handful! You are amazing, and we will definitely book with you again!❤”

“Our two girls had a wonderful time with Candie and her dog! She was so welcoming and opened her home to them, and they quickly made themselves right at home. In every photo and video, they looked like they were having a blast—playing, running around, and resting comfortably. We'll definitely be using Candie again for any future trips!”
“This was my very first time using Rover and I felt like our puppy was in great hands. Our puppy needed medicine and Maggie went to the Pharmacy and picked it up. Maggie made sure our pup’s meds were taken daily. Maggie also kept open communication with us while we were gone. She sent pictures and adorable videos of our pup playing with her dogs and having a great time while we were away. Thank you so much!”
“Nataly was great with communication and professional and personable. This was our first time using a sitter and she made the process great and provided updates with pictures. We will definitely be returning!”

“We had a wonderful first experience with our dog Pepper. We received happy videos and pictures of our puppy every day which my kids appreciated so much. Donessa was so attentive to any questions we had. We will definitely be back!!”

“Maria was the sweetest! Super welcoming and helped us in a last second crunch. Elsa really enjoyed her time with Maria and her family. Maria kept me up to date with what Ms. Elsa was doing throughout the entire visit. I will for sure book with Maria and her family again!”

Any pet in my home is treated as my own!

“This was our first time taking a long trip away from our sweet cat Kyuubey so we were super nervous about how she’d do, but Bailey was INCREDIBLE!! Not only did she make sure everything was clean but she made sure Kyuubey got used to her and familiar with her and always gave constant updates and communicated so well about each update she had. I’m super happy with how well taken care of Kyuubey was and I look forward to working with her again for any future needs!!”
“Teresa is the best!! She took care of my cat for 3 weeks. She was really patient with him. He is messy when it comes to using his litter box but she was kind enough to understand and take care of him. Would definitely work with her in the future. Would definitely recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Ava did a great job of taking care of our kitties while we were away over the holidays. She visited them every day and shared pictures with us. She did a great job of feeding them and keeping their water fountain full, and the litter box was kept clean. We would definitely recommend her and would call her again next time. She went above and beyond.”
“Bre was so excellent with watching my cat while I was out of town! A great communicator and care giver - my cat was so obsessed with her from day one. Could not thank her enough for stopping by over Christmas week and will definitely re hire again!”
“Cameron goes WAY above and beyond!!! One cat had a medical emergency, and he was right on it - and it turned out to be non life threatening. But I was in the hospital, and it was SO comforting knowing the care Cameron was giving my fur babies!!!! I can’t say enough about how appreciative I am of his services, and I will always request Cameron first for any future bookings!!!!”
About: Through my work at a rescue ranch, I’m experienced in meeting cats’ daily needs, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, monitoring well-being, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I understand that every cat is unique and strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for. 🐾 💌
“This is my second time using Nicollette, and she did a great job with my kitties! They got everything they needed, and I received the most adorable pictures of them every day. Would highly recommend her!”
“Adriana was super easy to work with, very friendly and clearly loves cats. She communicates very quickly and checks on the house as well as the cats. Would definitely work with her again!”
“JJ was an amazing pet sitter and took excellent care of our six cats. She made sure they were happy, well fed, the litter boxes were kept clean and Hank received his daily insulin injection. JJ kept us updated every day on how they were doing and sent wonderful pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our cats were comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely recommend JJ and will absolutely request her again in the future.”
“Ii would just like to say that we all fell in love with Sabrina when she took care of our three cats. She brought some of her veterinary experience and helped me with my outdoor cat who has lost alot of weight She also made friends with my pet cat who always hides when someone comes in, even my family. So, she took good care of all three and left them happy and full with no mess. I will definitely ask her again.”

About: I absolutely love animals. I’ve got a 2 cats and 1 9m old puppy. I’ve got enough energy to keep up and am always wanting more and more animals if I could. I am currently working part time and my 4 year starts school soon so I have plenty of time to play and care for your babies. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large dog kennel and a puppy play pen if needed and extra dog beds laying around. Pantry is stocked with treats. I let my dog out multiple times a day and we take strolls out to the garden every night. We also take walks a couple times a week. I allow my animals on the couch and they are slowly take over the bed.
About: With 5 years of experience caring for pets for friends and family I enjoy being able to meet new pets. I have cared for pets overnight in my home, drop-in care, and last minute sitting. Being a pet owner myself I know the importance of knowing your baby is well cared for. I believe in full communication and daily updates for peace of mind. I am a remote worker with the ability to be around your pets all day and let them out to my fenced backyard to play and potty breaks. During my free time I enjoy taking pets on walks around our neighborhood or playing in the backyard with them. I have a fully fenced yard and I am at home all day giving me the flexibility to be present while I care for your pets.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I come from a veterinarian family. I’m the go to for all who know me to take care of their pets! From daily check ins to vacations. I’m dependable. And maybe your pup will come back knowing a new trick. I currently work very little (15 hours total a week) which leaves me plenty of free time so I want to spend it loving on pets. I always have someone here at the house when I am away so your pup will never be left alone. I have a huge fenced in yard and Walter & Millie love to make friends. I own a Massage Therapy practice which allows me to control my schedule. An hour here or there. When I am away I always have someone in the house with the animals so they are never alone. I have a huge fenced in yard for everyone to run around in and play. For all the water dogs I have a small puppy pool to play in! Lots of sticks and toys for fetch or tug of war.
About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.

“Second time hiring Adriana to house sit and take care of my dogs while I'm out of town. Once again, she provided excellent service! My pups love her and even slept with her in the bed. She gave them lots of attention and walks despite the rainy weather. Made sure they ate their meals. I came home to a clean and orderly home just as I left it! Thank you Adriana!”
About: In September 2023 I retired from the Seattle area. I’m now open in the Sherman/Denison, Texas area. I have a flexible schedule and time to care for dogs. After almost a decade of watching dogs in my home I am currently focusing on caring for your dog in your house. I'm a small business owner with years of experience in the medical care field as a nurse’s aide, physician’s assistant, EKG tech, and home health aide. I am also a teacher, writer, researcher and editor. I adopt senior dogs so am very aware of the issues that our older canines face. Four of mine have had eye issues so I’m very comfortable with administering eye drops and salves. I can also pill dogs, give injections and change dressings. I am able to accommodate special dietary needs. I look forward to meeting you. Why I love dog sitting While I've loved dogs my whole life, I didn't get my own dog until 2005 when I adopted Simba, a 10 year old Chinese Crested. Pixie and Marvin were seniors when I adopted them. Bizbee and Charlie were permanent fosters. I love the Chinese crested personality and cuteness! I love all dogs but especially love our senior citizens. I currently do not have a dog but will someday in the future. Watching and walking dogs is my full-time profession. All my energy is devoted to taking care of dogs. I screen dogs carefully to make sure we are a good fit. While in your home I follow your guidelines so you have peace of mind while you are away. It will be wonderful to see your dog in its familiar environment.
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 6 kids and have many pets. I have had dogs and other pets all of my life. I have obedience training knowledge, and have trained all of my dogs. I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm able to provide quality attention. Dogs are let outside every hour (shorter times when weather is hot). I live in a friendly neighborhood to go on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard with an 8 foot tall fence. Thank you for your time and hope to meet soon! *other animal care too* I take care of animals all day every day. My schedule is mostly open, other than kids' activities. Summer schedule is different than when school is in session. I have a large yard with secure fencing. Also can crate your furry friend at night if necessary. I want to treat them like you do in your own home.
“I've given a review for Emilio before, but he's just so great I have to repeat myself!! Looking for an extremely reliable, kind, and responsive dog walker? Look no further. I can't say enough good things about him. He does so well with my pup and I never have to worry if she's in good hands. :)”
About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.
About: I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I am deeply passionate about dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves individualized attention and affection, and I always strive to treat each pet with the highest level of respect and care. My goal is to ensure that every animal in my care feels genuinely loved and valued. My approach focuses on creating a calm, peaceful, and enjoyable environment for your furry companions. I work to provide a trustworthy and comforting space, giving your pets a sense of being at home even when you are away. Comfort, security, and joy are at the heart of my pet care philosophy. I currently hold a full-time job from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I am available in the evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets and their own familiar surroundings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home to help them maintain their routine and comfort Should you wish, I can provide excellent references from current clients to demonstrate my commitment and reliability. I am eager to learn about any special needs. Your pets may have to ensure they receive the best possible care Taylor to them.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm & helped raise dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, cows, ducks, & hamsters! I have a love for all animals :) I am a law student, so when I’m not in class, I can drop in to care for your pet! I’m also available anytime on weekends! I have a fenced yard for your fur baby to play in. I also have a male (neutered) dog who just turned two. He’s very friendly and trained!

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family all in different ways have depended on me to do what's needed. I work full time and so does my wife but with a flexible schedule to be able to dedicate time and care to our furry friends. I have a fenced in property with a good sized yard as well as 2 dogs and 3 cats both friendly to others. Crates available as well.
About: I’ve been an animal enthusiast my entire life—if I could, I’d adopt every animal at the shelter! Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, from rabbits and fish to birds, cats, and dogs. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs of our furry (and feathered!) companions. In addition to my love for animals, I’ve spent over a decade as a caregiver for my mother, who has a traumatic brain injury, and worked professionally in the caregiving field. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. Whether it’s preparing meals, administering medications, or managing daily tasks, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your loved ones—including your pets. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I would love to offer you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, your fur babies will be cared for like family. Let me help you by doing what I love most—providing top-notch care for your pets! I currently work from home right now so I have all day and night to spend time, love and play with your fur baby. 🥰 I care for your fur babies just like I would for my own fur baby. I am very alert, loving, caring and only provide the best care. I am a health and wellness coach so I only use the best DIY and holistic care and do not use any toxic chemical products or foods. My last pup passed from cancer so I have decided to have our whole house toxic free!
About: Hi, I’m Darleen! I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, my family always had pets, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. On top of that, I’ve worked in caregiving for people and while doing that, I also helped care for my clients’ pets. That meant feeding, walking, cleaning up messes, giving meds when needed, and just making sure their animals felt safe and loved while their owners were away or nearby just needing extra assistance for their fur babies. So being patient, dependable, and detail-oriented is already second nature to me. I’m great with energetic dogs who need real playtime, shy or anxious pets who need reassurance, and older animals who need a gentler touch. I myself had a Chihuahua since childhood live to be 18 years old. She passed away a couple of years ago, so I know how it is to love and cherish them and watch your baby go through all the stages of life. That being said, I follow routines closely, respect your home, and I’ll always send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing. I truly treat pets like family and see them no other way. If you’re looking for someone reliable who genuinely cares about your animals, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out for a meet & greet :) I’m currently unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but can work with other needs on other days. At the moment pretty flexible just need communication, of course to work something out. I care for pets the same way I care for my own — with patience, attention, and respect for their routines. I currently have three cats and a really sweet husky at home, so I’m used to managing different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for clients’ pets while working in human caregiving, which means I’m comfortable following instructions closely, giving meds if needed, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I can accommodate whatever kenneling or crate needs are required at the location care is taking place, as well as follow any potty routine your dog needs. I always respect your home, keep things tidy, and send photo updates so you know your pet is doing okay.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, I am well versed in dog body language and have slightly hire than basic experience with dog training. I currently have a part time job but I am completely free most morning to mid days. I am a very active person and have no problem walking or jogging with dogs. I can’t easily crate a dog if needed and know how to use many different types of tools such as prong collars martingail and shock if you so provide and want me to.
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, and I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. With experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m calm in emergencies, respectful of routines, and committed to giving your pets safe, loving care. -As a pet parent myself, I understand the worry of leaving your fur babies with someone who may not value them as much as you do. That’s why I’ve chosen to use my free time to provide safe, dependable, and loving pet care for others in or around my community! I am currently working part time/ not working so I have availability almost anytime! My weekends are very scarce, my availability is set to no but I can work out plans or deals if it’s needed but weekends will typically cost more. I personally do not offer any other services aside from walking and home drop ins! I make sure your animals stay safe by ensuring they are always safe from vehicles/animals/ and other people whenever on walks. Meaning on the proper side of my body while walking and keeping distance from other possible distractions! (Will take to dog parks/free areas that are less likely to be busy). For in home safety I make sure that there are no threats such as fire/break in while i’m at the home. As well as make sure your pets are acting as them usual selves when I come see them. (and make sure they have plenty of water and play time!)
About: In my 20’s I owned a pet sitting business, Noah’s Ark Pet Sitters. When I started having children I had to stop. With my children older and my love for animals, I’m ready to start again! With my daughters in college and high school, I have the time again in my schedule to pet sit and help others care for their pets when they have busy schedules. I do the midday dog visits for the families that work long days and their pets need a walk, potty break or just some company.
About: I've owned and trained dogs for over ten years. I've done almost everything, from giving medicine to nail trimming and bell training. My job as a caregiver instilled solid principles that I'll put to work for your pets, so you can rest easy knowing that they'll be treated like family. I would say my approach to pet care is best described as intuitive and detail-oriented. I want to learn all I can about your pet before I begin caring for them to ensure their safety and comfort. In fact, safety is my first concern. From picking the best route for walks, to making sure hazards are mitigated in the home, everything is done to keep your pet safe and happy. I work 7:30-4:30, so visits in the middle of the weeldays are a no go. I can take visits before and after that window until about 9pm. I have the weekends and many holidays off, though, so there's flexibility. Like anyone, I have things that come up unexpectedly. For everything that can be predicted, I keep my calendar updated. For my own pets I'm careful to introduce new people and animals in a way that mitigates stress. We follow a pretty simple schedule and everyone is happy. When there is an issue between my pets, I am quick to impose myself between them and deescalate their disagreement, separating them as needed. Exercise is an important part of the day for Rufus, so fetch is a regular occurrence. Scritches and cuddles are of course an all day, anytime occurrence.
About: I‘ve been surrounded by animals all my life, whether it be cats, chickens, dogs, turkeys or even critters! The simplicity animals seem to have never fail to amaze me, and it would make me happy to care for your pet! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure there’s always time in my day for feeding, walks, and PLENTY of cuddles. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or more of a cuddle and nap type (my absolute preference 😉). Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me at all; it’s something I look forward to and happily make a part of my everyday routine. I care for pets like they’re my own! making sure they’re comfortable, fed, and loved. Whether I’m house sitting or stopping by for a visit, I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime and cuddles, and always send photo updates so you can have peace of mind.

“TJs stay with Nicole was Awesome! I needed a dog sitter quickly. I searched for sitters within 2 day before my trip and Nicole responded very promptly. She sent me pics periodically through out the duration of TJs stay which we loved! Before the stay we did a meet and greet that allowed TJ to get a sense of where he would be and for me to see the house. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter that will treat your pet like her own!”

About: I always grew up with dogs and got in to the industry 6 years ago. I started at a doggy daycare and eventually got a job training protection dogs. Throughout my professional experience I managed multiple dogs in both a home and facility setting. Ensuring each dog in my care is fulfilled every day is my top priority! I am currently able to provide full-time care for the pets in my home. My life revolves around my dogs and any guest would fit right into my rotating schedule. I have a room dedicated to the pets I am sitting as well as a securely fenced backyard. I will crate and rotate guests with my dogs, unless explicitly friendly, to ensure the safety of all. Any pet in my home is treated as my own!
About: I've had the gift of caring for many pets large and small. From sitting to fostering to my very own they are very much considered family. Through out days of loves and scratches behind the ears are always available. Plus they will have a play friend in Georgina my 3 year old loveable sweet poodle. Though the are allowed in or out, weather permitting I'm able to sit out back with them in my fenced in yard and play fetch!
“River loves his time at Tara's playing with Dolly! They are the best of buds. It's a huge relief knowing River has room to run and isn't kept cooped up all day in a kennel. You can't go wrong leaving your fur babies with Tara!”
“Kaitlyn and Angel took great care of our dogs and sent regular updates. Kylo and Maeve had a blast with them. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable home to board their dogs.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She was so sweet to Jasper and actually let him on her furniture. He’s an older Lab who is very spoiled and very codependent! She communicated daily with updates. I will definitely ask her to care for him in the future! It’s difficult to leave him but I definitely would trust her to keep my baby in the future. 🩷🩷🩷🩷”
“Chloe was wonderful! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request and made the whole process easy and stress-free. We really appreciated her flexibility and responsiveness. We would absolutely book with her again the next time we’re out of town.”
About: With over 4 years of pet care experience, I have developed a deep understanding of various breeds and their unique needs. Whether it's providing daily exercise, playtime, or administering medications, I ensure that every pet feels loved and safe. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where your furry friend can thrive while you're away! I currently work remotely, which allows me to be home all day and provide consistent care and attention to your dog. I dedicate quality time for play, companionship, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer adventures, such as walks or trips to the park, to keep them active and engaged. I strive to create a fun, safe, and loving environment that keeps my routine lively and enjoyable—for both me and your pup! 🐶💚 I have a patio with a small fenced yard, providing a safe outdoor space for your dog to relax and play. I have one friendly Labradoodle who is 4 years old and gets along well with other dogs and children.
