“Rachel was wonderful with our dog. She's very accommodating, attentive, and great with communication. We really appreciate the help and had peace of mind that out dog was in a safe place while we traveled. Will definitely book again and again.”
“Wonderful family! They loved and took great care of my fur baby. My dog was so relaxed when I came back to pick him up. They uploaded pictures frequently. My boy was so great with the family! He also received a YES that he could stay again if needed. Thank you Robyn, Joshua and your beautiful boys! Stay Blessed! Beanita D Hawkins”
“Thank you Iovanna for sitting for our dog. I appreciate your attention and the care you gave him. Also the communication you kept with me was outstanding. I will recommend you to anyone I come across.”
“My puppies loved Nubia! She took such great care of them for a weekend with tons if updates, pictures, and video. I was able to relax knowing they were in good loving hands. My Archie had just been neutered and she took care of him no problems. They got to play with big dogs! They slept so much after getting back, a sure sign of a good time. They're already booked for their next weekend at her house!”
“Our dogs came home so happy and with zero anxiety! I could tell they were loved and cared for while we were away! So much better than boarding them somewhere they are in a cage all day. Will happily return!”
“Leaving my dog is never easy, but with you, it felt different. You gave not just care, but genuine love, and that showed in how happy and relaxed my dog was. Thank you for treating them like your own and giving me complete peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful for you. Thank you once again Madeline”
“Rachel is a sweetheart! She was wonderful to my dog, Blue and me as well. A very inviting home to host your pet. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my dog in boarding, so Rachel creates a second home for Blue. She communicated frequently, shared videos and photos of the fun she and her family were having with Blue. It was Blue first time away from home, and she sure made me feel at ease during this entire experience. My family and I greatly thank you, Rachel!”
“Clyde and Nancy were awesome and our Kona seemed to love being in their home! They allowed her on their furniture and sent several pictures of Kona cuddled up with Clyde or Nancy! Kona seemed to think Clyde’s lap and recliner were as comfortable as my husband’s!!! We will definitely have them keep Kona again and our other fur baby Waffle when she’s no longer under 1 year old!”
“Excellent care giver. Will always treat your puppies like family. She'll nurse them if they're sick, pet them when they're missing you and hug them before they leave, FAMILY, she's the best!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, she exceeded every expectation and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She is truly one of the most caring, patient, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitters I’ve ever met. Her communication was exceptional! she kept me updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”
“Lauren was amazing! As this was my first time boarding through Rover, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She regularly sent photos and videos of our baby, which really helped ease any worry or stress about leaving our dog behind while traveling. I would absolutely re-book with her for future trips.”
“Here's a more detailed version: I had an amazing experience with Doloris, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided for my dog. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. One of the things I appreciated most was that she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay by sending pictures and videos every day. Seeing my dog happy, relaxed, and having fun gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was getting plenty of attention, love, and exercise. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Doloris to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog boarder. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“We're so grateful to have found Mary. We had a last minute trip come up and she was absolutely wonderful! We had a meet and greet with her and she came so prepared with a binder and she filled out a whole page of info on Sangi so she would know his routine and likes and dislikes. She collected contact info and vet info so she would be prepared if anything occurred. We so appreciated her desire to make everything as close as it is to our house as possible as it concerns his normal routine. From feeding times to games to play and commands to use with him, she wanted to know it all! She sent pictures every day along with a little note about how he was doing which was such a relief to us as we miss him so much when we're away. It was obvious when we returned that he had been well cared for....he was so relaxed and clearly hydrated and well fed. We absolutely recommend Mary if you're looking for someone to love your fur baby while you're away!”
“Madison was so great with our dog!! This was our first time using Rover and she made the process so easy and comfortable for us to leave him with her for two weeks. She sent photos and videos almost daily which were a wonderful surprise. He always looked happy and was constantly playing. We really liked that she did a meetup beforehand to see how he was in the house and how he interacted with her own dog and the other ones staying there. We will definitely rebook!!!”
“Great experience! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our dog. They sent updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“This was Rocco first time away from home at someone he didn’t know house in it started out pretty rocky. But Yaldelie was very patient with him in she sent lots of pictures in keep me updated can’t think her enough. Yaldelia is highly recommended.”
“Eric and his son were amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs there, knowing they’d be well taken care of and very well exercised. He was very responsive, easy-going, and both dogs came home exhausted and happy. I will absolutely be going to them again!”
“Namita is such a wonderful person first of all! She is very calm and pets just feel so comfortable around her. She sent me pictures of my dog two or three times a day and gave me updates about how he was doing. I was nervous leaving him but instantly felt comforted once meeting Namita!”

“Sarah was just great! Our kitty isn’t the easiest to deal with when we are away but she handled him perfectly well and was able to come back multiple times to care for him.”
“Ana was super responsive and reliable. She sent us pictures and gave us updates on any details worth noting. I will definitely book her again for future visits. My dogs loved the attention she gave them.”
“I can't say enough about Michael and how thankful I am for finding him. My girls don't take to anyone, but they have taken to him and if that isn't an endorsement for a star pet sitters heart, I don't know what is.”
“Lana took care and loved on our 2 cats for almost 2 weeks and we couldn’t ask for more of a sitter. We received multiple daily photos of the cats as well as photos of their litter boxes and food bowls. They were happy and content when we got home. Our “cat room” was swept and all litter trash and food cans were taken to our outside trash can. Lana went far beyond our expectations and would highly highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of cats for others for about two years. I used to own a cat when I was little but don't anymore. I have done checks on cats for people which included changing litter boxes, filling up food and water bowls, and playing and loving their cats. I also have done overnight stays with cats before. I have dealt with cats that with try to bite and scratch me.
About: I’ve had my cat for almost a year, I also took care of cats/kittens my senior year at a vet clinic. I’ve learned how to love and care for every kind of cat! The scared, spicy, or super cuddly ones. I honestly love cats and the love they have to give!
About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for the past 10 years now even have 2 of my own. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their precious babies, walk, feed, bathe, play, and even stay with them. I’m currently working part-time and in school Monday- Thursday for half the day so I have plenty of time to take care of your precious fur baby(babies). I am available anytime during the weekends, weekdays would have to be discussed in advance. I commute to my clients house to take care of their fur babies. Clients typically leave instructions if needed otherwise I feed the dog 1-2 times a day, potty breaks, walks, park play if that is something my client is up for and lot of snuggles, pets and love.
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I offer drop-in visits and house sitting for cats, which means your kitty gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable: home. I’ll be honest, I’m primarily a dog person, but I have a genuine soft spot for cats and I’ve been around them my whole life. I know that every cat is completely different. Some want to be your best friend the second you walk in, and some need you to earn it. I read the room, respect their boundaries, and never force interaction, but I’m always ready with playtime and attention if they’re into it. I have a healthcare background and a graduate degree in nutrition, so detailed care instructions, medications, special diets, and specific routines are things I take seriously and follow to the letter. Your cat’s needs won’t get glossed over. For drop-ins I make sure food, water, litter, and any medications are handled, and I always stick around long enough to make sure they’re doing well before I leave. For house sitting, your home and your cat both get my full, unhurried attention. Expect photo updates so you can see for yourself that your independent little creature is thriving.
“Ashley was seriously the best with Kitty while I was out of town. She checked in, made sure Kitty was comfy, and kept me in the loop the whole time. Came home to a happy cat and zero stress on my end — 10/10 would trust her again!”
About: I grew up with friends who had cats and always wanted one of my own. I finally got my own cat in 2020, and she’s the best! I understand that each cat has their own personality and that some just need space. They are so different from dogs, and I love getting to know how each cat prefers to be cared for.
“Stephen does an awesome job with communicating with us, and was very thorough in taking care of our cats. This is our second time booking with him and we will be sure to work with him again! Thanks so much Stephen!”
“Valerie is a really nice person & her huge love of animals is a big plus! From the initial meet & greet, our cats liked her and they’re typically shy towards strangers. I think they could tell she’s a true animal lover. She is very thorough and sent pics & updates to us while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats to be checked on by her. Valerie is a wonderful pet sitter & we will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have cared for many dogs since I was 8 years old. I have always been a lover of giant animals even the smallest (exotic too). My principle language is Spanish, I am studying English every day so this job can also be a source of great help for my learning apart from doing what I love the most. take care of animals Currently I work in my spare time, since I study and work but I have enough time to take long walks in the park and in my study moments I would always be with your pet so I would never be alone I let the animals explore the place, because we are not so many people at home but if I have a dog that is very affectionate and playful, even if your dog does not like this type of company, you can let us know beforehand to be prepared
“William and his wife are such kind and caring people. They really understand animals and their unique patterns and habits. My cat, Basil, is an interesting and funny cat with odd quirks and they made him feel so comfortable! I would absolutely recommend their home to anyone who wants their pet to be treated with special care!”
About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!
About: My parents adopted a 3 month old kitten when I was 18, about to turn 19 years old. I was the one who helped my mom pick the right supplies. She didn’t know about kitten food, the difference between wet and dry food, or the best kind of litter to get. I helped walk her through it, till she could do it on her own. I knew thanks to my experience working at a pet store, and having extended family members who owned cats. I knew all those one’s my entire life. I also kept a cat fed for a neighbor. Just regular pop ins.

“Sandra sent us great pics throughout the day. He had friends to play with and socialize. He got his medicine and was fed during his stay. He was in good spirits when we picked up.”
“Nubia cared for my 10 month old Cane Corso while I visited my son in the area. She was amazing and extremely flexible. She did several days and he did spend one overnight with her...she also bathed him for me! Her home and yard are clean and very dog friendly. I would highly recommend Nubia tho anyone looking for pet care.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life varying in all kinds of ages, breeds, and health issues. My dogs are my world and I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I have a flexible schedule being in real estate so that makes it easy for me to schedule these extra dog walkings or check in's for my neighbors. I personally have a dog door with a fenced yard for my two dogs and have spent a lot of time training them so I trust them with the dog door open when I leave the house. For other people's pets, I will of course follow their rules if they crate or leave them free roaming in the house.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them since I was a child. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I have experience taking care of dogs for family members and friends, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like part of the family and always focus on providing a calm, caring, and dependable environment. Im a homemaker so my schedule is very flexible. I’am available any day of the week including weekends. Which ever time and day is more convenient for you. I have a fenced backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I’ll make sure they have fun and enjoy their stay with us.
“I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the professional dog-sitting services provided by Iovanna B. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I was impressed by the level of care and attention they received. Iovanna's communication was prompt and informative, putting my mind at ease while I was away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Iovanna B's doggie sitting service to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, this has ranged from small dogs to large dogs! I currently have 3 dogs myself, and they would love a temporary play mate! I have been working home for 10 years, and would love to watch over your sweet babies during my day! I have three minature dauchsunds at home who are happy to play!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do and I also have an old senior citizen grandpa named Hercules🐕. Don’t worry he sleeps all day and is impressed by food and food only! 😂 ✅I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you're away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.
“They were awesome and our dogs loved it. Very thankful for being able to accommodate us in a last minute notice since we just moved to the area and needed a place for our dogs to spend the day while the movers were gonna be at our house. Will definitely send our dogs again and definitely recommend”
About: As a devoted dog owner for 12 years, I deeply understand the love, companionship, and joy our furry friends bring into our lives. After the passing of my beloved dog “Trouble” on August 6, 2023, I’ve found fulfillment in caring for other pets. I would be honored to walk, play with, and shower your pups with affection, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in your absence. I work from home full time and am a devoted mother to five children, all over the age of 8, who share my deep love for dogs. After losing our beloved family dog of 12 years in August 2023, we’ve felt a big void in our lives. We’re now in the process of adopting a new fur baby to bring that warmth back into our home. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly look forward to giving your precious pets the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard perfect for dogs to play safely. I will be the only person caring for pets during all bookings — no one else will assist with pet care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.
About: I have a deep love for animals and will ensure that your pets enjoy their stay!! 😁 It is an honor to serve you and to look after your pets. I am at home full time during the week so I am flexible to give the quality care and devotion that pets deserve. Feel free to ask about my schedule I have a nice fenced backyard and plenty of room indoors. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs. There are parks close by as well.
About: I love pets. I have owned a dog my whole life. On top of owning a dog I also would dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood. I start dog sitting around the age of 12. I have dog sat puppies who needed to go out a lot as well as play with them a lot to get energy out. I also have watched elderly dogs. I have no problem cleaning up dog messes that can happen in the house. I have dealt with a wide variety of dog fluid due to my own dog. I am one who will get there hands dirty. I also love playing with pets and getting on the floor to get their energy out. I have a dog of my own. I make sure to get her outside multiple times a day as well as getting a walk in once a day. During the week I take my dog to the dog park to get interactions with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom who has a very flexible schedule. I have experience with excited dogs who love seeing new people or just getting out to walk. I make sure when walking dogs to give them time to explore while still keeping them safe. When walking if other people or dogs walk past i make sure the dog I am walking is by my side opposite of those walking past for safety.
“My dogs love coming to Ashley’s! They feel so loved and cared for whenever they come to her for daycare. I feel so comfortable leaving them to her knowing they are taken care of like they’re their own babies. Ashley is always professional and flexible to my dogs’ needs. Love that they are so comfortable with her and her kids.”
About: Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date! Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit. I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.
“Shelby is fantastic! I have had my dog Ollie the Border Collie go to doggy daycare multiple times. Each time, she has worked with my crazy work schedule to make sure Ollie was loved on, played with, and taken care of. I think my pup likes her more than he likes me! 🙈😅 If you are in the Terrell area then there’s no one better at helping you with your pets than Shelby.”
“Rune has been having a great time at daycare! Paige and her husband have taken time to bond with her and get to know her to make her comfortable. This has been a great solution for when I’m at work all day!”
About: Hi there! I have had dogs my whole life and have always had a special place in my heart for them! I’m comfortable giving medicine and tending to puppies as well. As a stay at home dad, I will always be home so your pup will always have the attention he or she deserves. :) I’m a stay at home dad so I always have time to tend to your pup! I have a dog as well that gets along great with others! I treat them like my own! I will feed them based off your schedule for them, play with them, and let them get comfy on the couch (unless yall want them off furniture for routine purposes) I also have a doggie door!

About: What’s a home without furry friends! I’ve always had dogs in my home and currently have two fabulous rescues that I love and adore. I would love to help you out with your furry friends. Just let me know 😁 I am retired so I can be very flexible.

I’m sure we can work together to make our schedules work. I’m not offering daycare at this time but I do have a fully fenced yard with two happy dogs, ready if that at anytime becomes an option.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, family friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry family members. As someone who has dogs of their own, I know how much your animals mean to you. I have had experience with puppies, all the way to older dogs. Although I work full-time, I still have plenty of time to care for your furry family members! I’m available for weekend drop-in visits and can stay in your home any day of the week to keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and keep owners updated throughout my visits or stays.
About: Hi! My name is Ana, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I treat every animal in my care like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats.

Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches and will receive plenty of supervision, care, and affection. I’m happy to communicate about specific timing needs to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I provide detailed visit summaries so you always know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. After each visit, you’ll receive a thorough description of our time together, along with updates and photos for peace of mind. Each visit can include: • Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level • Playtime with their favorite toys • Potty breaks and routine check-ins • Fresh food and water as needed • Lots of love and attention My goal is to keep your pet’s routine consistent and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.
About: I have been around many animals throughout my whole life growing up. I enjoy getting to know every animal and understanding how they are emotionally. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I recently graduated and have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule. I have experience caring for my own dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure he feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy being around dogs and giving them attention, so dog sitting is something I would be happy to make part of my daily routine. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about making them comfy and safe! At my home, I stick to their routine for feeding and walks, plus tons of playtime. If I'm at your place, I follow your lead, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved while you're away.
“Charley was in great hands with Michele. She was consistently on time to take her out and feed her meals. She uploaded pictures that Charley always looked happy in. She has prompt communication and followed all instructions perfectly. Would recommend and use her again!”
About: I have extensive experience in working with both large and small companion animals! I love gaining opportunities to further my knowledge on animal care by working with other people’s animals alongside my own. I am currently training two horses and an 8mo old puppy, and would love the chance to work with others. My utmost priority is the safety and happiness of your animals and that will never change. When it comes to weekdays I am mostly available on the mornings of mondays, wednesdays, and fridays as I have college on tuesdays and thursdays. My afternoons on all weekdays are dedicated to working with and training horses and riders at a barn I volunteer at. Lessons on the weekend are usually in the mornings which leave afternoons open for further pet care inquiries. I spend a lot of time making sure my pets feel loved by me and listening when they tell me something. When it comes to my horses I tend to exercise them regularly while also spoiling them a smidge and spending tons of time with them outside of riding them. I am a love bug when it comes to my dog, I play with them tons, provide them with plenty of toys and spend tons of time with them as caring for her is a shared responsibility between me and the other adults in my house. For my lizard he spends a ton of time free roaming in my room while getting handled plenty. They all have their own varying diets but all diets are handled with care so we can avoid complications down the road should a brand prove to be bad for our animals.
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I live with four dogs, so I understand better than most what different personalities, energy levels, and quirks look like and I meet every pet exactly where they are. I have a background in healthcare and just finished my graduate degree in nutrition, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I take animal wellness seriously. I’m completely comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules, dietary needs, or any specific instructions you leave, following care protocols is genuinely second nature to me. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I know how much peace of mind matters when you hand your pet off to someone. My goal is always to send you home (or to work, or on your trip) feeling totally at ease. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and personality, not just a checkbox. Drop-ins are never rushed; I stay, I play, I make sure your pet feels loved. House sitting means your home and your pet both get my full attention and care. Expect photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently in a flexible period between positions, so I have a lot of availability right now, including weekends and most weekdays. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with regular clients and their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your needs are recurring or ongoing! Since I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I’m coming to your pet in their own space, which I think is one of the best things for an animal’s comfort and routine. I treat every client’s home with complete respect and care. I’m experienced with following detailed instructions, administering medications, and handling pets of varying temperaments. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, their routine stays intact, and you get someone with a healthcare background making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
About: I have a senior dog so he needs to be let out more often and I have to make sure he eats his food. I also have an aggressive dog but he loves our family and really dislikes other people so I have dealt with aggressive and sometimes timid dogs. I work at a restaurant but only 3-4 times a week so I am free whenever I am needed. I love dogs and animals I care for them like they are my own and give them lots of love so they don’t miss their owners to much when they are gone I make sure to do everything that I am told to do by the owners and also do it at the times that I am told to do it
About: I have worked at Petsmart before. At Petsmart we are required to know what makes a dog comfortable while at a public place or somewhere other than home. I have watched over puppies 2 and 3 months old for my in laws a couple times now. My parents got a kitten that I helped take care of till I moved out about 10 months later. I own a chinchilla which is an exotic small animal. I’ve had her for a year. I’ve been fascinated by pets since I was a child and always do my research before taking care of an animal. I look forward to being of assistance. I fluctuate between part time and full time. I’m usually free tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. I can schedule the time off if it’s 3 or 4 weeks in advance. I usually work mornings except for mondays, when I work evenings. I can always visit the pup or kitty during break and then spend the rest of the day with them after work. This will most likely be temporary until I can get a solid schedule here or at Home Depot. My apartment complex is very pet friendly. My building is only a few steps away from a dog park inside of the complex. The clubhouse has dog treats and I can provide as well based on age and diet. I will always ask any questions about what you would prefer for your fur baby. I have a chinchilla that stays in a cage as long as your pet is around. She is curious and will not hurt your pet even if they stick a paw in between the bars, which is hard to do anyways. My living room is a large space for any pet. I’m currently working part time, but I’m willing to do weekly stays with 2-3 weeks in advance notice. I also will require meet ups before every service in a public place. This is not going to be required for existing clients. I live in an apartment so I don’t currently own any pets, but everyone in my direct and extended family either has, or has had one that I’ve grown up with. I’m very familiar with animal routines and attributes. If something is bothering your pet, I will notice. I always keep in constant contact with whoever I petsit or help take care of for anything I may notice. Most of the time it’s things owners are already aware of, but I’ve always found it never hurts to ask and inform.
About: Hi! My name is Cardelia and I'm 28 years old. I am the biggest animal lover! I've had multiple animals throughout my life as well as some of my first jobs being a pet sitter. When I was in 6th grade I had 4 houses in my neighborhood and I walked/let out/fed their dogs everyday when I got home from school. I also have my own dog named gracie who I have had for 6 years I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day to come and go as needed to walk, feed and play! We can talk about scheduling when the time comes I live in a house & ive got a backyard. I have the flexibility to take them in and out as needed and will crate as needed per owners request
About: Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date! Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit. I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.
About: I’ve taken care of my weiner dog for 7 years now. I treat like she’s my real daughter and will take care of any furry animal the same. I have so much love I want to give to them! I have a lot of time that needs to be used up. I can do after 5pm on weekdays and ANY time during the weekends! On Mondays I can do earliest as 4pm! I walk a lot so if you need long walks for your energized dog, that is no problem! I also spend hours throwing the same toy and think of it as exercise for me AND the dog!

“Thank you Iovanna for sitting for our dog. I appreciate your attention and the care you gave him. Also the communication you kept with me was outstanding. I will recommend you to anyone I come across.”
“My puppies loved Nubia! She took such great care of them for a weekend with tons if updates, pictures, and video. I was able to relax knowing they were in good loving hands. My Archie had just been neutered and she took care of him no problems. They got to play with big dogs! They slept so much after getting back, a sure sign of a good time. They're already booked for their next weekend at her house!”
“Our dogs came home so happy and with zero anxiety! I could tell they were loved and cared for while we were away! So much better than boarding them somewhere they are in a cage all day. Will happily return!”
“Excellent care giver. Will always treat your puppies like family. She'll nurse them if they're sick, pet them when they're missing you and hug them before they leave, FAMILY, she's the best!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, she exceeded every expectation and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She is truly one of the most caring, patient, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitters I’ve ever met. Her communication was exceptional! she kept me updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”
“Lauren was amazing! As this was my first time boarding through Rover, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She regularly sent photos and videos of our baby, which really helped ease any worry or stress about leaving our dog behind while traveling. I would absolutely re-book with her for future trips.”
“Here's a more detailed version: I had an amazing experience with Doloris, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided for my dog. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. One of the things I appreciated most was that she kept me updated throughout my dog's stay by sending pictures and videos every day. Seeing my dog happy, relaxed, and having fun gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was getting plenty of attention, love, and exercise. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Doloris to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog boarder. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Madison was so great with our dog!! This was our first time using Rover and she made the process so easy and comfortable for us to leave him with her for two weeks. She sent photos and videos almost daily which were a wonderful surprise. He always looked happy and was constantly playing. We really liked that she did a meetup beforehand to see how he was in the house and how he interacted with her own dog and the other ones staying there. We will definitely rebook!!!”
“Great experience! We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our dog. They sent updates and videos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Eric and his son were amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs there, knowing they’d be well taken care of and very well exercised. He was very responsive, easy-going, and both dogs came home exhausted and happy. I will absolutely be going to them again!”
“Namita is such a wonderful person first of all! She is very calm and pets just feel so comfortable around her. She sent me pictures of my dog two or three times a day and gave me updates about how he was doing. I was nervous leaving him but instantly felt comforted once meeting Namita!”
“Paige and Juan took amazing care of our dogs Rocco and Ripley while we were out of town on a 10-day trip. They sent sweet photo updates daily to give us peace of mind and to let us know that our fur babies were having a safe and happy time at their home. They were so observant of each of our dogs' individual needs and personalities and we cannot thank them enough for the great care that they provided!”
“Jessica was amazing. She communicated clearly and was flexible when my flight was delayed and I could not get my dog at his scheduled time. She’s very kind and my dog was well cared for.”
“I am so glad I found Jason for a last minute trip. Him and his wife were so welcoming, they took wonderful care of Pepper and truly took the time to understand her needs. Pepper is already scheduled to go back later this month! Thank you again for taking care of our sweet girl!”
“Our Max seemed to have had a wonderful stay for the week! The family sent pictures & videos while I was gone and even taught him how to 'shake' before receiving a treat. Their family pups are big, but gentle and fun. Max got to snuggle at night with them and became their little buddy. Great care was given and I'd certainly book Haley again for a future vacation.”
“Brenda was great! She is very thorough in getting to know your pets needs and my dog seemed very happy after the stay! She made her cute dog treats and sent photo/video updates. Would definitely board with her again!”
“He kept me updated throughout my dogs stay letting me know how well my dog was doing and he took my dog on a lot of walks! He also works from home, so it was perfect for my dog’s routine. Thank you William!”
