Personalized care for your dog or cat - Macdona
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Macdona
“We took our pup for an overnight trial with Abel and Alisa. She was VERY well cared for and given the many photos they sent, we could see our pup was well socialized and had a lot of fun! She came home quite happy! Our pup often doesn’t eat well until she gets comfortable at a new daycare situation. We could see she ate well (by her photos) and was not hungry when she came home. She was happy when we picked her up and calm when we brought her home. Abel and Alisa are the best—they are set up like a true pet resort. We’ll be back!”
“The ONLY person I will ever trust to watch my pup! Period! I have left my frenchie with about 8 different puppy sitters in my area. Not a single one did what Amanda did to love, care, play with, send me pictures and video and included a bath upon pick up for my frenchie. There is nobody better! A+++ service from start to finish. My pup came home happy so thank you Amanda!”
“Daniel and Hilary took great care of my babies! I met them before hand and was very comfortable with them. I would high recommend them. I know I will use again.”
“This was my first experience boarding my dog Tuna or leaving her in anyone else's care. Stephanie went above and beyond for Tuna. Stephanie sent pictures, replied promptly, and made sure everyone was at ease. Stephanie was quick to respond, professional, kind, and her services were very affordable. I boarded Tuna for about 6 days. If I ever need to board her again, I will be coming to her! 10/10 reccomend”
“Robin is amazing! My fur babies are returns to her, butthis time one was under the weather. She gave him his medicines and kept him on his diet during his stay. We received pictures and updates during their stay as well, and even after communication is great. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely be coming back.”
“Breanna was best sitter ever, she made a wonderful work taking care of gronk, kept me updated daily basis with every single info that can be important and with pics of my dog, i found gronks new sitter for sure”
“Ronny was awesome and very attentive to Bruno’s need. Throughout Bruno stay he sent updates (txt messages and videos). We truly appreciate and loved his service, looking forward to booking with him again.”
“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Jennifer and Meagan were just wonderful! They took great care of my fur baby and sent daily photos showing how happy he was with all his new friends. Will definitely recommend them and will book again for our next trip.”
“Karen is so Kind and lovly, she sent me pics and videos of my Furry Baby without asking her ..I really appreciates her help taking care of him last minute, her place is beautiful and peacefull I will comeback for sure whenever I needed.”
“My Goldendoodle and I are so beyond happy with our stay with Tania! Feeling blessed that I found such a cari ng doggy sitter for my boy. This is the first time I use Rover and leave my boy while traveling. I couldn’t be happier with choosing Tania. She is kind, attentive, and kept me reassured that Lucky was getting great care through lots of cute pics and messages throughout the day! My boy loved their beautiful yard. He had so much fun running around with their toys and she was so nice while playing with him. She did a lot of breaks for my big boy and I’m so grateful! Thank you so much Tania! My Lucky boy will definitely be coming back soon 🥹🫶🏽”
“This is our first time booking through Rover and we are so glad to have found Fernando to take care of our Prince. Fernando is very sweet and took the time to do a meet and greet so we can see how Prince did before we confirmed as we were worried since Prince hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs or people His dogs were also very friendly. His house was very clean & safe and he also has a big fenced in yard. He kept us worry free by sending regular updates and pictures and took very good care of Prince. We plan to book Princes care with Fernando and definitely recommend him.”
“Luke and Bailee had a great time at Tiffany’s! I received photos and videos daily. My dogs were happy and felt right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! I also used their bathing services, and Luke and Bailee were all clean with nails trimmed ( my vet has difficult time doing nails)! Excellent service”
“Jackie and Jorge were amazing with our girl. We went on 8 day journey where she would not have been happy. Jackie let us bring her about a month before to see if they liked each other and if her pup would get along. Missy is a service dog so we were concerned about the separation. We give thanks that God sent us to them. Absolutely great care, lots of pictures and updates. Missy was taken care of so much better than any kennel would have. We will definitely contact when we need someone to care for her again! Thank you Jackie and Jorge”
“Sparky loved his stay with Max. Max was very good about keeping me updated throughout the day on how Sparky was doing and would send me pictures multiple times a day. I will be booking him again next time I go on vacation :D”
“I appreciate Eva's open communication. It seems as if she addressed Zuma's senior needs. She was also very accommodating. Thanks, Eva and family!”
“Watched my pup while I went away on a trip for the weekend. It seemed like she was hesitant to leave when I picked her up. They took great care of my dog. I'm very happy. I will be your repeat customer.”
“Wilber and Jeanelly are true gems! Their love, care, and attention make all the difference, ensuring our Baby feels happy and loved when we’re away. It’s comforting to know he is in such compassionate and capable hands! Thanks again ❤️”
“Noah loved it!!! He was sooo relaxed when he got home like if he was there with us and spent a lot of play time and relaxation time. Followed what we told them to very carefully since he had a big surgery for a twisted stomach a while ago. A lot of videos and pictures letting us know he was ok every day. Thank you so much!!! Definitely will be rebooking for sure!! ??”
“Kyungah C. Was amazing! My dog Chandler loved her and her family! She sent me daily updates with photos! Chandler got along with their dog Simon! I would highly recommend her! Also, I will be using her services in the near future!”

Cat caregivers near you - Macdona
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends for years. I recently graduated from Texas Tech University with a degree in Animal Science, where I took courses focused on animal health, behavior, and training. During my time in Lubbock, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic and several animal shelters, where I gained hands on experience socializing and training dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and needs. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to their normal routine, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the best care possible! Since I recently graduated, I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a full-time job. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to ensuring your pets receive the care and companionship they deserve. I care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable. I follow all owner instructions and make sure pets receive the exercise, attention, and care they need while you’re away.
“We asked Alexis to come over for four consecutive days to feed, check on everything, and spend a little time with our kitty while we were away. She did an excellent job and went above and beyond. We are very satisfied with Alexis. Our cat is very sociable with strangers, so we knew that she would greet her and seek attention. She played with her, fed her, and even sent plenty of pictures. Everything was in order upon our return home and we know our cat was taken care of. Again, highly recommend!”
“Yazmin was really good with communication, updating photos and my cats were happy. Making me feel stress-free and confident my cats were safe and loved, leading to a strong recommendation to rebook. My cats gain a new friend and I am happy about it”
“Erika was amazing from the start. You can tell she truly loves animals. She was friendly, easy to work with, and an excellent communicator. She took great care of my cats and made the whole experience stress free. I’ll definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Erika, for everything you were amazing!”
“Brandon did an awesome job checking in our elderly cat while we were on vacation for 2.5 weeks. He was always reliable and sent pictures! We’d absolutely hire him again and recommend him.”
“Chantal took great care of Legolas! He was so happy when I came home and not as stressed as when I have left him at other times. My first time using Rover with Chantal and I will definitely have her watch Lego again!”
“Danielle was wonderful to our baby boy! Open to schedule flexibility and showed up on time each day. She took Wonderful photos and kept his litter box area very clean! She even recorded a video of singing happy birthday to him while we out and it was so cute! Thanks Danielle!”
“We hired Shawnette to check in on our dogs while we were away for a quick cheer competition. She was absolutely fantastic with our two greyhounds. One is super friendly and can be a handful while the other is super shy and timid. Shawnette was able to win over the shy one and handle the overzealous one. We absolutely recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: With over **40 years of hands-on experience** caring for animals of all kinds, my heart and home have always belonged to the furry, the feisty, and the four-legged. From the time I could walk, I was surrounded by a vibrant mix of animals—**German Shepherds, Huskies, Labradors, Poodles, Pomeranians**, and even the more unexpected companions like **raccoons, squirrels, and capuchin monkeys**. Each one taught me something new about loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. Pet sitting isn't just a job for me—**it’s a calling**. I provide every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and gentle attention I’ve given to my own over the years. Whether your fur baby is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. From belly rubs and playtime to medication and special diets, I handle it all with heartfelt dedication. My goal is simple: **to give you peace of mind** knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and deeply cared for while you're away. Because when you're part of my pet sitting family, your pets become my pets too. 💕🐾 7 days per week availability. Require a minimum of 2 days' notice to book. I work from home in my day job and am able to flex my schedule to most clients' needs with minimum required notice as per above. I am very meticulous in my care for your furbaby and take pride in my ability to be astute and attentive in my care whether in your home or while walking your furbaby. Rest assured they are safe in my company.
“Brad is great! I set out to make a more comfortable experience for my dogs while I was away and Brad provided that. The pictures speak volumes! He's on time, tentative, and involved. My boys loved him. Thank you for keeping them safe and updating me with your visits!”
“Kayla was AMAZING !! I had to have a sitter super last minute due to car troubles and my very skittish cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly!! Kayla sent feedback, updates and photos of my baby every visit keeping me assured during my trip! Especially as a first time user of Rover !! She was extremely responsive and quick and 100% I will be coming back if I’m ever out of town again,, especially since you n Venus are besties now XD Thank you again!!!!”
“Briana was an absolute dream to have watch our boys! Both cats loved her from the moment they met her and she was so sweet :) Lots of communication while we were gone, and some very fun pictures of the cats everyday!”
“This was Luno’s first time being cared for by someone else, so I was pretty nervous, but they were amazing. They kept me updated and sent pictures which really put me at ease. Luno was well cared for and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.”
“Amazing, amazing, amazing sitter! She was amazing with my cats and was great with communication. She was even able to do a emergency drop in last minute. Will book again and again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years, in many different locations. I've always had a pet, both growing up and now, both cats and dogs. I've also lived on a farm so worked with all kinds of animals. I am currently stationed at Lackland and work during the week. I will be available in the evenings and on the weekends. And can housesit if you live near Lackland. I love walking and playing with dogs, especially when it's cooler out. It's always a win to me when they're exhausted and just want to sleep when they get back into the house. I can take your dog for a walk, depending on the weather of course (I will never make a dog walk when it's super hot out), I let them out in the yard if it is too hot. I will make sure to follow the rules of your home with your pet, whether it be crate for bed or allowed on furniture. I will make sure to give attention to your animals while I'm at your home, lots of love and cuddling and playing.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Macdona
“We had an amazing experience for our first time using doggy daycare for our pups! I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands while my husband & I were working. Definitely will continue to take our fur-babies!!! ?”
“Erika was amazing!!!! She kept me updated through out the day and accommodated my work hours. I will definitely be going to her from now! If you are thinking of booking with her do it! Your furry friend will receive great care!”
“Apollo & Frankie enjoyed a funday with Abel & Alisa along with their furry babies. They are well taken care of with lots of running around in the yard & playing puzzles, watching tv, eating snacks. This was there 2nd visit & definitely would schedule another fun day in the near future. Thanks to both of them.”
About: “What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been a cat mom since 2021, so I understand the importance of routines, comfort, and gentle attention. My husband Daniel (registered Rover sitter) and I also had the opportunity to care for an older dog who struggled with body pain, which taught me how important it is to be patient, compassionate, and attentive to special needs. I know how much peace of mind it brings when you can trust someone with your furry family, and I promise to treat your pet with the same love and kindness I give my own.” “I’m a full-time mom, which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets. My little one is curious, careful, and respectful around animals, and our home is full of love for furry friends. Whether we see them every day or just occasionally, there’s always space in our hearts (and home) for another pet — we can never have enough love to give! In addition, my husband Daniel and I are both registered Rover sitters. We share the responsibility of pet care and are passionate animal lovers. With us, your pets will always be supervised, safe, and surrounded by love.” “When pets stay with us, they are part of our family. I provide love, comfort, and attention, following their routines and making sure they feel safe and happy. My home is full of care, cuddles, and playtime, and I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos.”
About: Hello there! I'm Daniel. My love for animals began as far back as I can remember, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for them—from dogs and cats to smaller pets and even insects. With 15 years of experience, I'm currently studying canine and feline ethology. I can offer basic grooming too (extra service) and am certified in pet CPR. My wife is also an approved caregiver, so your pet gets twice the love for the price of one. I'm glad to be here for you, as a helping and trusted hand! I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 2:30pm every weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available. Overnights aren’t a problem either — there is always somebody at home and can handle morning meetings, so your pets are cared for around the clock! In our home, pets are treated like family. We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
“Felt very comfortable leaving my dogs as it was a very friendly and dog loving place. Loved the pics and videos they sent throughout the day. Loved it! My doggies loved it!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my sweet girls and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I’m so grateful for her care and attention. I’d trust her with my pets anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
About: I have always deeply cared for pets and bonded with them! Whether it’s calming anxious dogs, coaxing shy cats with treats, or being a professional belly rubber I genuinely adore and love all your fur babies! I’m a full time student and I do majority online classes so I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate for you and your fur babies! I love bonding with your pets and can accommodate to any needs they may have. I have experience in handling older territorial dogs, high energy dogs, and dogs with special needs. I am also very diligent in noticing if your dog is anxious, stressed, and our surroundings during walks for their safety!
“We got amazing pictures of our dog in his short stay. She also was kind enough to send him home with a Christmas goodie bag. She was great about keeping us updated about how he was doing!”
“Steph has done numerous drop ins for my dogs, but today she let my dogs and my foster do doggy day camp for the day at her beautiful place so that I could go and see my grandma one more time. My dogs are so tired and fulfilled! I will def be booking again when I need someone I know I can trust with my furbabies!”
“Beckie & Isabella did a great job watching Riley! They accepted our booking request last minute; so we’ll definitely book them again! She sent pictures as well! I recommend them to everyone!!”
About: I’ve been a vet tech in the army for 2 years. I love it! I’m trained in basic aid for dogs and cats including providing any medication. I have experience with multiple dog breeds small and big, aswell with cats. My military work hours are 6am-1pm with 1 hour lunch at 11am. I have a lenient boss and is more than willing to allow me to leave work early when something comes up. I have so much free time after work and on weekends which makes it a perfect opportunity to hangout with someone’s furry friend! I absolutely love animal interaction. I love going to the park on calm sunny days, it is calming and relaxing. I would love to bring a furry companion to enjoy it with!

“Ann-Marie was amazing with our fur babies! Jersey is 2 and a little grouchy and temperamental, but he did really well, and Ann-Marie was patient with him. He was actually so happy in all of his pics having a good time. We will definitely be bringing our boys back to her!”
“Bailey and Mia loves their stay with Rhoda and Erik. They even made a new friend! I truly appreciate the time they took to send pictures and updates on my babies. They made them both feel welcomed and comfortable.”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and currently work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My job has given me hands-on experience supervising playgroups, understanding dog body language, and making sure dogs stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ve also taken care of my own dogs for years, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and older dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and making sure everyone feels safe and included. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure your pet feels relaxed and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for! Caring for animals has been a regular part of my routine through both my professional experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pets in my own life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and monitoring pets’ well-being. I make reliability a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable environment and helps reduce stress. When I provide in-home care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times, keep the home clean and respected, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Kylie is so patient and dependable. My Husky/Malamute is a wild one and she is able to tame him and get him to exert his energy. He comes back so content from their walks together. We appreciate her services so much!”
“Mercy was patient and kind with my little guy. She understood that although he’s 82 lbs , he’s still a puppy by age. She was on time, professional and very sweet. We’re looking forward to her helping us with our furry friend.”
About: For the past 6 years or so, I have been trusted to take care of family and family friends' animals while they are on vacation, including reptiles and small animals, leaving them worry-free knowing that their beloved fur babies are well taken care of and comfortable. I also have cared for senior dogs and have no problems accommodating their needs to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I'm currently working from home, so I will always be here with the pets and can keep them entertained throughout the day. My schedule is pretty open, and I have no problem working the pets that I am sitting into my schedule if something comes up. I have a massive yard at home with plenty of room to run around and explore, lots of toys too, so there is always something for them to do, and giving them their own little vacation away from home. Being in the client's home is even better, allowing the pets to be in a familiar place while also having a new friend to play with. Following a set schedule with feeding and activity is something that I love to stick to; this keeps everyone as happy as possible.
“Christina was so amazing! Our pup Remi is almost 3yrs old and he’s never had a dog walker before. I also work from home so this was going to be the first time he was going to stay home for a much longer period of time by himself. Christina was very supportive of helping us get Remi used to having her come to the house. She was very attentive, kind, and helpful. On the last day we wanted to extend her time with Remi because he had so much fun with her and she was also very flexible with adding time. We will definitely be looking forward to the next time!”
About: Dog owner, cat owner, and assisted mother and sister who both were animal sitters for combined decade experience. Was a coach and athletic trainer for 15 years. I work for myself so i have great flexibility in my schedule. I also just moved to area so i dont have a big social life or priorities to be concerned with scheduling issues. My animals can do no wrong. I keep a great play space available and very tidy food/water area. Guest bathroom is theirs entirely- and i maintain that space well.

About: I have volunteered with both dogs and cats of all kinds (big and small) and have pets of my own (a Lab mix, a Shih Tzu, and a cat) and have had pets since I was a child. This has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, so I tailor my care to help each pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy as I have done with my own and any pet I’ve encountered. Whether your pet loves to play, prefers a slower pace, or just wants extra cuddles and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets will be treated like family, and I’ll give them the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure both you and your pet have a great experience. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and some weekends and will do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. We will start with a meet & greet so I can get to know you and your pets and vice versa :) I always follow your care instructions and tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their time with me :) peace of mind for you is my number one goal!

“Kayla was an absolute lifesaver! She went above and beyond by coming to walk my dog, even in the rain. She was so thoughtful, always double-checking with me to confirm our plans. I hate leaving my dog alone, but when an emergency came up, Kayla stepped in to make sure my dog was cared for and had a chance to go outside. I’m so grateful for her help and reliability—thank you, Kayla!!”
