Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lucas
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lucas
“Sara was absolutely wonderful! She took care of my dogs for 10 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly kind and sweet, and her home is warm and welcoming. Her large backyard was the perfect playground for my dogs, giving them plenty of space to run and play. She sent daily pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Knowing my dogs were in such great hands made all the difference. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“First time Rover user and we left Lisa with two dogs. She was great, communicative, and caring. They got their exercise, they got their potty breaks, and they got plenty of love and attention during their two-night stay. Just what they (and we) needed.”
“Lindsay did an amazing job taking care of our furry baby during our vacation! I loved receiving pictures and regular updates, and her communication was always timely. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Jingyi was great! We left our golden retriever in her care for 6 days and she sent pictures every day. We really appreciated that. We will definitely leave our dog in her care again.”
“Yulia sent frequent photos and updates. She was very nice and made sure my dog was comfortable, eating well, and well cared for. She and her family cuddled a lot with my dog, which he loves for day naps on the couch.”
“Whitley took great care of our dog and sent updates during her time there. Drop off and pick up were easy and she made my dog feel comfortable. Would highly recommend.”
“Jasmine was great! Very nice and very sweet to my dog. She sent pics and even took her to an event where my dog had fun! Will definitely use her services in the future if need be and I highly recommend. Thank you Jasmine!”
“We’ve been putting off finding a dog sitter because our dog Jaxx is a rescue and is very shy/ timid. We found Darlene and saw the other great reviews and the photos of her home/yard and thought she could be “the one”. We first did a meet and greet to see if he would be a good fit/match. The way she introduced Jaxx to her dogs, you could tell that she has a lot of experience and knows how to work with dogs and could be trusted to take great care of our baby. She gave updates/photos of how everything was going and took the time to give us some more details of how it went when we picked him up. We recommend Darlene and plan to use her for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Takaira was awesome!I really felt comfortable leaving Lucca in her care. The daily pictures and updates gave me great peace of mind. She definitely will be my top choice when needed.”
“Madison watched our cat and dog for a week, and they came back healthy and happy. I forgot to send my husband with bowls for the cat and Madison used some of hers thankfully! I received pictures and videos of my pets while I was away, and it was nice knowing they were getting lots of attention while we were out of town.”
“You can tell that Julie is not only a dog person, but also thoroughly understands dogs and their needs. She is so accommodating and truly makes you feel heard and your dog feel understood. I would highly recommend Julie & Natalie to anyone. She was very communicative and I knew my pup was in great hands.”
“Moni did an amazing job taking care of our dog. We had a last-minute sitter cancellation, and she was able to step in right away. Our dog, Ghost, quickly became attached to Moni and her family because of how well they treated him. He was completely at ease and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Moni as a sitter, and we’ll absolutely keep her in mind for future needs.”
“Nithimas is great. Pretzel loved his stay and became besties with her and her dog. She kept me updated with lots of photos and he had the best time. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“We left our Cocker Spaniel with Lea Ann while I was in the hospital. She worked with our times and was very understanding. Our Cody Bear was very comfortable in her home right away. Felt good about leaving him with her and will do so again.”
“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is very friendly and kind. She is also an excellent communicator and I knew Bondo was in good hands! I appreciated that she took the time to take a variety of photos to document Bondo’s day. My favorite one was of the dogs laying on the couch tuckered out. I will definitely be using Jennifer again! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Lea was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, consistently sending us photos and updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with Lea again and highly recommend her!”
“Judith is THE BEST!! This was our second booking, and for 10 days! Our Labrador loves her and her family, and we felt so comfortable knowing that our beloved girl was in the best hands. We highly recommend Judith as a sitter. She sends daily pics and updates that keep you connected to your pet! Again, Judith is WONDERFUL, and you will be glad you chose her!”
“Ms Ruth was very kind from beginning to end! I truly appreciated how she does make it mandatory to meet the pup in her house. This made me feel more comfortable on the day I had to drop my dog off. Furthermore her daily pictures and small updates gives you a sense of relief while you are where ever you are! Let alone being flexible, easy to communicate, she is very sweet! The day I picked up my dog, i immediately asked if she was available for our next trip. Thank you, Ms Ruth!”

About: My favorite way to spend my day is going on long walk with my dog Otis and having a lazy day with my cat Mable afterwards. I would love to be able to take care of your pets while you are at work or out of town! I work full time remotely and I am a mom! I'm always home so I can easily check in on your pets during my work day. I'm currently working full-time, fully remote. I already have the time to go on daily walks with my dog.

In the mornings, I am available 7:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. In the evening, I am available from 5-8 p.m. Unfortunately, I do not offer boarding at my home at this time. I have a newborn so I cannot have extra pets around at this moment.
“I highly recommend Ms. Jaclyn! She bonded quickly with Lula and upon my return home, Lula's usual anxiety wasn’t present. Ms. Jaclyn was kind enough to bring in a package I forgot was coming in. Ms. Jaclyn is now on my speed dial when I have to go on my trips! James S.”
“We had our cat boarded with Madison and family. They took wonderful care of him, spent timer with him and sent us pictures and updates during our vacation. We highly recommend Madison and will certainly use her as a sitter again.”
“Alexis does a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. Our skiddish one takes a real liking to her and our other cat is diabetic and she takes care of his medication well.”
“Lizzie created so much peace for us. This is the second time she’s helped us out. LWe were able to really enjoy our vacation knowing Macie, our 4 month old distrusting kitten, was receiving royal treatment. It only took a day for Lizzie to win her over. We highly recommend her to anyone who loves their animals as much as we do.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lucas
“10/10 recommended! Kiyo stayed with Jingyi for a day while I was away. Jingyi sent me photos of Kiyo throughout the day and I am 100% sure Kiyo also had fun with the other dogs running and playing in their backyard.”
“Lisa has been kind enough to watch Leonard on the days I have to go into the office. When I picked him up the first day, he was calm and not at all stressed. She treats him as if he is her own and he feels a lot more comfortable being in a home setting rather than at a doggy daycare. Lisa made sure he was fed at the appropriate times and took him outside when he wanted. Very thankful I’ve found someone caring to watch him.”
“My dog Jake had a great time with Jer and his lab Maggie. Jer and his wife had a very peaceful quality about them, and I could tell that Jake was comfortable the moment we walked in. This was a trial test/meetup for a longer booking later this summer and I would say it was a great success!”
About: Connecting with a dog is special. I find it easier to do once I've given a good ear scratch and a few massages! I've cared for and loved on my family's cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as I grew up. I was able to adopt my own fur baby as a young adult and now I have a mixed breed that gets all the love. Up until now, I've offered my friends and family dog care and boarding but now I am ready to offer trustworthy care to you as well! I have been working from home for 9 years! I also homeschool my daughter (age 9). We spend most of our days at home. Together we care for our dog Brownie! The most used door in my house is the back door! My yard is fenced and includes a large covered patio. You can usually find me inside sitting by the window or outside in a rocking chair.
“So glad I find Courtney! She is so sweet and loving. My girl was very comfortable in her home. Her beautiful golden doodle and my girl had a great time playing together. Courtney kept me updated and took lots of pictures. Her place is beautiful and clean with nice front and back yard which is so nice. Such a relief knowing my fur baby is having fun in a loving home and being taken good care of. Will definitely have Courtney sit our girl again!”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful with Oso. He gave constant updates and was incredibly easy to coordinate with. My dog had such an enjoyable time and came home super warm out. Loved having Oso stay with them.”
About: Hello! I have owned and cared for small dogs for 5 years. I have a 1,360 square foot home with a fenced backyard in Princeton, TX that your dog can play in, a sweet small dachshund named Nathan your dog can play with, a basket full of toys to keep them entertained, and a couch they can cuddle on. During your dog's stay, I will send photos and videos to you. I ask that all dogs are up to date on vaccinations, fully crate trained, and have no history of biting problems. Please note that all owners are held financially responsible for any severe property damage (such as chewed baseboards or destroyed carpets) caused by their stay. I work a part-time job 2-3 days a week. During my off days, I am home full time and am able to dedicate my full attention to your fur babies. I make sure all dogs go outside at least 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night), feed them on a consistent schedule, and provide cuddles for dogs who need more love and affection.
“Totally awesome and very nice. Her dog was super nice and friendly and had no issues with my energetic pup. When I picked him up on the first day they were in the really big back yard rolling around in the grass. My dog loves running and rolling so he was super happy. She sent out lots of photos and gave great updates during the day. She was able to work with me on times and was free on short notice. I will definitely rebook. I recommend her if your pup is a ball of energy and likes to play with other dogs like mine.”
About: I've taken care of my own and friends dogs! I love giving dogs the best care and love especially when their owners are gone. Having dogs I know how precious they are and knowing you want them to have the best care and snuggles. I make sure that your mind is at ease while you are away to enjoy your time and your pups get a vacation as well! Getting pictures and notes just to know they are ok is always nice! I am always open to additional requests to put pet parents at ease. I currently work from home full time. So I am available and have plenty of time to play. We also have a very large yard and walking areas. In the summer we have a pool if they enjoy that as well. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep yours company while you're away. They love to run around and swim in our pool. I work from home so I'm at the house to let them out.
About: I have had pets my entire life whether I had a cat or a dog I always had one. My dad owns a dog breeding business that for a short period my husband and I helped at before moving. So we are very familiar with dogs and pet care. I am a stay at home mom who has a part time at home job. My husband also works part of the time at home. I am home most of the day and if I leave I usually only ever leave for an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to roam outside safely. We walk out pup twice a day. He is a old small shih tzu dog that can offer your pup company but would also likely leave your pup be because he sleeps all day. My kids love playing with pups and playing fetch and giving great pets.
“This was our first day care with Mandi and our little girl had the best time. Mandi sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how our baby was doing. She even sent a picture of our baby annoyed that she couldn't go out in the 100+ degree heat. What a funny picture! Thank you, Mandi for putting my mind at ease.”
“They take such good care of my dogs. My girl is very sensitive so I can always tell if someone scares her. Both my dogs are always bouncing off the walls when I come to pick them up. 🥰”
“This was my first time leaving my pup away from home and with other people— I am so glad he was with Rini and her husband! They sent wonderful photos throughout the day and I could see that my pup felt happy and right at home. Thank you Rini!”

“I appreciate Sam and their family so much for taking such awesome care of my puppy while I was away! From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. When I picked her up, she was so happy and full of energy. Clearly, she had a great time! She came back nice and content, i can tell she was also well fed. All her stuff was neatly packed and clean, including her leash and bed. Sam and their family were super sweet and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. They also made sure to check in with us about anything they were unsure of. It’s clear they really love animals and treat them like their own. I’m so grateful for their care and will definitely be using Sam’s services again. I highly recommend them if you need great pet care!”

About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 5 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time!

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for a very long time! Once I turned 12, neighbors asked me to watch their dogs and cats, so I got animal experience very early! Now I care for my 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Molly, who I have had since she was a puppy. I am currently an online college student, finishing up my degree, so I am not currently working. I have a completely open schedule and would love to meet your furry ones! I've worked with dogs from lots of backgrounds, so mostly any request can be handled easily. I crate-trained and potty-trained my current baby myself, so I understand the messes and other shenanigans that can come along with this. I'm also familiar with different feeding styles and medication administration, so your baby will be safe in my hands!

“Lizzie did a wonderful job walking our husky while we were on vacation! She was flexible and easy to schedule and suggested a meet and greet first to discuss our needs and meet our dog. She provided great communication and feedback following each walk, so we felt confident that our dog was happy and well taken care while we were on vacation. It was a great experience for us and our dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”
About: I’ve cared for many different types of dogs for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, and I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to provide adequate care for your pet!

“Zoila is very responsible and reliable - plus my lab mixes adore her and look forward to every visit - also she is proactive sending updates and pix, plus updates us if there are any changes or concerns she may notice - all of that is so comforting when we travel/ I strongly recommend her and have years of experiences w dog sitters - she is the BEST!”
“Kayla does such a great job with my girls!!! One of my pups is very social, the other is afraid of everything and Kayla makes sure they are both super comfy with her and she has earned their trust.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a young girl. Family and friends have called on me numerous times to puppy sit and I always grow very attached to puppers! I work from home, and have a very friendly Standard poodle. He loves to make friends and eagerly waits for play dates at the window! I have a fenced in yard, and two dog loving children who will give belly rubs and butt scratches a plenty. We look forward to having your puppy come to stay! I’m currently working from home and my sons and I have plenty of time to play with your pupper during the day, go on afternoon walks and Sven the resident pup loves making new friends. Sven the pup loves to run, so we are very conditioned to close doors after entering/leaving, and stay outside with the pups when they go outdoors.

About: Hi! My name is Jordy, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and have years of experience pet sitting and house sitting for families, often caring for their pets for week-long stays while they travel. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, maintaining routines, and providing individualized care based on your pet’s needs. I also have personal experience giving medication to my own dog and understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. In addition to pet sitting, I volunteered weekly at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with animals of varying temperaments and needs. This taught me how to build trust with animals, recognize their comfort levels, and provide patient, compassionate care. When I’m caring for your pets, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I treat each one with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am used to building my schedule around their needs. Whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make sure pets receive the attention and consistency they deserve. Having cared for my own dogs as well as regularly pet and house sat for families during week-long trips, I understand the importance of maintaining routines so pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and leave it just as I found it. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by creating a safe, loving, and reliable environment while they are apart.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I have been taking care of friends and family dogs for about 10 years now. I love dogs, they are the best part of this world. They're not only our companions and the one who receive us with a wagging tail when we get home, they are our best friend. I like to give dogs unconditional love, because I know they will give the same love back to me. I have my own little furry friend, her name is Mieka. She has been with me in the most difficult and lonely times of my life and I love her. I like to take her out on long walks and also take her to the park. I like to play fetch with her or sometimes I like to chase her around the house or the playground. If you want your dog or pet to feel love, have fun and not be lonelywhile you are away, I am the perfect guy for you.
About: I have 9 years of pet care experience with my own dog, other people's animals, and as a volunteer at the SPCA of Texas. I have taken care of many animals in my years of pet sitting in including dogs, cats, chickens, and turkeys. It is not easy for animals to scare me. I'm currently working a part time at a veterinary hospital and going to school part time. I'm not a very busy person, so I will have plenty of extra time to look after your furry little family member. I keep dogs on a leash at all times when walking. I like to follow a list with times for when certain things need to be done. I like to try and keep a schedule that is close to what each pet is used to on a daily basis.
“We recently started working with Morgan, and she has been amazing! She communicates clearly, always shows up on time, and takes great care of our fur baby. I really appreciate her professionalism and consistency. We feel confident knowing our pup is in good hands! 🐾💛”
About: I believe dogs are the best “people,” with dog owners coming in a close second. (And yes, I adore cats, too. But if I just had to pick one, I’d be team dog.) I’ve never not had a dog in my entire life. Growing up with beloved family dogs, I got my first official dog, Babar, a Weimaraner, during my senior year in college. Then came a pair of Italian greyhounds (Tag and Tootsie). Next, a standard poodle (Paulette), then a second standard poodle (Ginger), and finally, a toy poodle (Tanner). Currently, we are down to just Tanner and all ten pounds of his big dog personality. I remember being a young professional and wishing I could have help with my Italian Greyhounds when I had to work late. I’ve had friends who’ve had health issues and couldn’t take their dogs out for a walk. Acquaintances with a family crisis in need of support for their furry family members. Cat parents out of town seeking someone trustworthy to check in daily. I understand the need and the desire for someone you can trust. I live in Lucas, Texas, and have two teenage sons in high school. My husband works in business. My primary job is mom, and I also do creative writing. I’ve found getting out and loving on others’ pets to be the perfect accompaniment to my writing. Read: salve for writer’s block. I especially love getting outdoors (sitting at the computer and writing all day doesn’t work). I’m up for long walks, short walks, going out in the backyard to play, or simply checking in. I’m driven. I graduated with honors from Ole Miss and earned my MBA from Millsaps College. I’m dependable. I worked in corporate America for over ten years. Most importantly, I’m passionate about all animals, big and small, domesticated or wild, furry or not. Ok, maybe not snakes, but I know they serve a role in the grand scheme of things. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged friend to see if we are a match.
About: I grew up with dogs and am experienced with their care. I managed all of the care for my own dog after she was diagnosed with bone cancer and underwent a limb amputation and chemotherapy. I am competent, caring, and detail-oriented. I will provide your dog(s) with love and affection and follow all instructions given. I am also great at sending updates! I just completed a PhD and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is flexible for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting in your home. In your home or neighborhood, I will follow all instructions given (requesting more if needed) and be sure to leave your home tidy and secure!

“Jingyi was great! We left our golden retriever in her care for 6 days and she sent pictures every day. We really appreciated that. We will definitely leave our dog in her care again.”
“Whitley took great care of our dog and sent updates during her time there. Drop off and pick up were easy and she made my dog feel comfortable. Would highly recommend.”
“Jasmine was great! Very nice and very sweet to my dog. She sent pics and even took her to an event where my dog had fun! Will definitely use her services in the future if need be and I highly recommend. Thank you Jasmine!”
“Takaira was awesome!I really felt comfortable leaving Lucca in her care. The daily pictures and updates gave me great peace of mind. She definitely will be my top choice when needed.”
“Madison watched our cat and dog for a week, and they came back healthy and happy. I forgot to send my husband with bowls for the cat and Madison used some of hers thankfully! I received pictures and videos of my pets while I was away, and it was nice knowing they were getting lots of attention while we were out of town.”
“You can tell that Julie is not only a dog person, but also thoroughly understands dogs and their needs. She is so accommodating and truly makes you feel heard and your dog feel understood. I would highly recommend Julie & Natalie to anyone. She was very communicative and I knew my pup was in great hands.”
“Moni did an amazing job taking care of our dog. We had a last-minute sitter cancellation, and she was able to step in right away. Our dog, Ghost, quickly became attached to Moni and her family because of how well they treated him. He was completely at ease and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Moni as a sitter, and we’ll absolutely keep her in mind for future needs.”
“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is very friendly and kind. She is also an excellent communicator and I knew Bondo was in good hands! I appreciated that she took the time to take a variety of photos to document Bondo’s day. My favorite one was of the dogs laying on the couch tuckered out. I will definitely be using Jennifer again! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Lea was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, consistently sending us photos and updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pup was clearly well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with Lea again and highly recommend her!”
“Judith is THE BEST!! This was our second booking, and for 10 days! Our Labrador loves her and her family, and we felt so comfortable knowing that our beloved girl was in the best hands. We highly recommend Judith as a sitter. She sends daily pics and updates that keep you connected to your pet! Again, Judith is WONDERFUL, and you will be glad you chose her!”
“Carly was amazing. She sent updates twice a day with pictures that were super descriptive on the dogs days. We have both our dogs there for 8 days and they had an incredible time. Will definitely be booking again.”
“I have boarded my 2 dogs a retriver and a maltese multiple times with Jason and his wife. They are amazing. This trip I was out for 14 days and they truly made sure both of my boys got the best care.”
“Cooper and I are so blessed to have found Jill to be our dog-sitter. I knew from our initial visit that Jill was the perfect placement for Cooper as he wagged his tail and immediately went to her to introduce himself. Her kindness and love for animals showed through her smile. Again, thank you Jill and Rover.com for putting all of us together. Tom Kender”
“Kelly was amazing with Enzo! He was so comfortable with her immediately and Kelly sent me pics throughout the stay to make me feel at ease!! Thank you Kelly from both Enzo and me. Im sure we will be seeing you soon!!”
“Teresa was so easy to work with in boarding our fur baby. She is so personable and took care of Simba like her own. We were able to have a peaceful getaway knowing he was with a loving family. Highly recommend Teresa.”
“Rini took care of our Daisy while we were gone for a long weekend and Daisy had a wonderful time. Rini sent great photos everyday. Daisy had a fun time playing with Rini's dog and needed to nap when she got home! We definitely would love to have Daisy stay with them again. Rini was very sweet and a great host for our dog!”
“Melissa and Matt are the best! Our dog loves staying with them. They are so genuinely warm and loving with him and they always put a lot of thought into planning doggie get-togethers and other activities that he will enjoy. Very conscientious about sending us daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!!”
