“Took great care of our senior dog for 3 weeks. She had never stayed with anyone but family in all of her 13 years. Got regular updates and pictures. Namita was also very flexible about extending her stay when our flight delay caused us to get home 3 days later than planned.”
“Melissa was amazing. We were really nervous about leaving our senior dog for the week but Melissa really calmed our nerves. She sent daily updates on Mugsy and was consistent with communication. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and felt welcomed in her home.”
“Yulia is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is skittish and frequently feels unsafe in unknown places. Surprisingly, he wiggled his tale and went straight to her on arrival. Upon pick up, he didn’t even want to leave! I’ve also received updates and photos of my fur baby during the stay and he looked soo happy. Looking forward to future bookings!”

“I boarded Ginger with Lauren for the first time this past weekend. The treatment Lauren and her family gave Ginger was OUTSTANDING!! She sent me pictures and videos of the activities they were doing with Ginger. Ginger ran in their large yard with her two sweet girls, played with her dogs and two other doodles that she was sitting for. Ginger was clearly having a blast. I felt so good about boarding Ginger with Lauren that I'm exciting to continue boarding her as needed for my current personal circumstances as well as when I take a week long vacation in June! These are great people with a beautiful loving spirit toward fur babies.”
“Damon & Danyale were absolutely fantastic! They took such great care of my dog, Lilo, for the night. I really appreciated the photos and videos they sent – it was so reassuring to see Lilo happy and having fun playing with their dog, Rex. Plus, their location in Princeton was so convenient for me!

About: I have years of hands‑on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including shy pets, seniors, kittens, and pets with special routines.

I’m also comfortable with slow‑to‑warm‑up cats and pets who need extra reassurance. For cat boarding, I provide a peaceful, pet‑free home with cozy resting spots and a clean setup. Most owners bring their cat’s own litter box, litter, food, and carrier, but I also keep a clean backup litter box and extra litter available if needed. Whether I’m boarding cats or caring for pets in your home, I send consistent photo updates and follow your routines exactly so your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.

About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.

About: Dog loving family with many years of experience owning dogs. We have one fur baby, 5 year old beagle mix named Chip. Chip is 26lb bundle of love and playfulness and gets along well with large or small breeds. We have a large fenced yard and I am home full time. I can offer daycare and overnight boarding. I will care for your fur baby as I expect mine to be, like a member of our family. I prefer dogs that are crate trained in case I need to run errands and prefer not to let them run free inside with no one home. We get lots of exercise and cuddle time. Tell me what will make your pup happy and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you soon! I work from home so my time away from your pup will be minimal. We take lots of outside breaks, but, we keep them inside to relax and stay comfortable during harsh weather. I have a large fenced yard and two dogs that play gently with other dogs. I watch them at all times even when outside. They are never left unattended except for short errands and they will be crated during my absence. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and can accommodate their special needs including injected meds. Mini photo shoot is also included with your pet’s stay! I am a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. We get up early and serve breakfast, have potty and play time, or your pup can relax if that is what they prefer. I have a spacious fenced in back yard for running and playing and my home is pet friendly. Your baby will feel right at home and will be loved and cared for just like my own.

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.
“Toria and her husband are the best sitters ever. They communicate well throughout the day and are always quick to answer. This is the second time they’ve watched our Amber, and she comes back happy and was happy to see the house again when we dropped her off so that means a lot. Would recommend 100%”
About: My mission is to give you peace of mind by making sure your animals feel safe and are loved and well cared for. I’ve always had a love for animals and a passion for caring for them. I have been a pet parent for the past 10 years and have been a part-time pet sitter for friends and family during that time. I have changed careers and am now a full-time pet sitter. I also volunteered at two animal shelters for 5 years. I offer personalized care for your pets based on their needs and routines—whether they’re energetic pups who love to play fetch, or more chill kitties who just need a lap to nap on, I’m happy to accommodate. What makes me stand out? I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll send you regular updates, so you never have to worry, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to ensure your pet feels right at home. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pet and I take that responsibility seriously. I am a full-time pet sitter, so I have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for drop-ins, overnight visits and boarding all throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard with pet turf for your fur babies to run and play. I treat your dogs as if they were my own, providing lots of love and attention. The dogs have free roam of the house including my bed for lots of cuddling.
About: I genuinely care about the pets I look after. I don’t just “watch” animals — I build a bond with them. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra tenderness, slower walks, or help with medications. I’m especially good with pets that are shy, anxious, or adjusting to new environments — I move at their pace and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m very detail-oriented with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and special instructions, and I always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing — you’ll know they’re being cared for with love and attention. Your pet will be treated like part of my family, not just another booking. 🐾 Pet care fits beautifully into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home wife and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time. I’m home most of the day, so the pets I care for get constant attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to build my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning routines, midday walks, medication times, or evening cuddle sessions. Because I’m not rushing off to an office or away for long hours, your pet gets the consistency and supervision they deserve. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they’re part of my day. And yes, they usually become part of my heart too. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels relaxed, secure, and right at home. At the moment, I don’t have any pets or children, which means your pet gets my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My home is very spacious — it’s essentially an entire home just for the pets I’m caring for. There’s plenty of room to move around, relax, and play without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. I keep everything clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m very careful with doors, leashes, feeding, and supervision. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and stay alert to keep them safe at all times. In your home, I treat your space with respect and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, and for your pet to feel loved, safe, and right at home.
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for my entire life, and caring for these incredible beings is more than just a job—it's my passion. Friends and family trust me wholeheartedly to love and nurture their furry loved ones when they’re away, and I pour my heart into every moment. Whether tending to lively puppies full of energy or comforting wise, elderly pets, my goal is simple: to keep those tails wagging with happiness and ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I get to spend plenty of time with pets each day. I usually don’t have to leave them alone for long periods, which is great! I’ve got a fenced-in yard and three super friendly dogs who just love meeting other pups! We enjoy taking neighborhood walks, playing fetch, and having fun tug-of-war matches right in the backyard.

Leashes, harnesses, and doors are checked carefully to ensure safety at all times, and pets are never left in unsafe situations or environments. For transportation services, pets are secured appropriately for travel and monitored throughout the trip to ensure a safe and low-stress experience.

My goal is to create a trustworthy, consistent experience where pets feel safe and cared for, and owners feel confident and at ease.
About: I've never known a life without a pet. The joy of being able to see a dog every day brings a smile to my face and laughter to my life. I used to live with two 4 year old french bulldogs who are always busy. I used to have a neighbor that had 4 dogs and 1 cat. It was amazing to be able to give love to someone else's dogs and to give peace of mind to their owners. I also helped potty train their 9-month old puppy because they worked a lot. I had another neighbor that had older dogs who I took care of when they were gone on vacation. I will give your pets unconditional love and attention.I for look forward to meeting your furry friends! Me and my husband have lived in Texas for 4 years and I am looking for something to do during the day while he is at work I love dogs or cats. I did Rover in Colorado for a year.this would be my only job right now I feed my cat her dry food in the morning and then she also gets dry food and wet food for dinner.I make sure all pets are fed and happy :)
“Namita was an awesome host for my fur babies. Provided plenty of picture updates every few hrs. Namita and her husband were very cooperative during the whole process. My dogs came home very happy. I didn't have to worry abt them even for a minute. I would surely recommend Namita to other pet parents. I surely would like to request Namita for future bookings. Thank you Namita.”

I can also provide consistent attention throughout the day, which is especially helpful for pets that need more interaction, supervision, or companionship.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.
“Mary is extremely dependable and flexible. She is amazing with both of my older dogs and there is a noticeable difference in their behavior after Mary has come by to play with them. They seem happier, and that makes me happier, too.”
“Sienna is the best. She is always on-time and even went out of her way to suggest a better time of day to align with better weather so my dog River would be more comfortable. River looks forward to seeing her again.”

About: I have two fur babies myself and have been caring for them for about four years coming on five. I’ve trained them since 8 weeks old to my oldest dog who is four now and spoiled as ever. Even before my two dogs I’ve always been around animals since the age of six and have always been very curious about dogs and have loved them ever since. Pet care is a huge essential part in a pets life. Although I am a college student my classes are not all in person I have much time on my hands (more than I know what to do with). Although I love my own pets I would like to provide my services to others. I have two fur babies myself I understand the amount of stress it can bring when leaving your pet with a stranger. When visiting your pet while you are away I will make sure the visits are not just short interaction with your baby but provide play and know that they are loved while you are away, or even if you need to have them walked I'm more than glad to do what is required.
About: I hqve always pet sit for a long time now off of social mediq only for locals, i have experience dog walking, doing drop in visits, i can do it all working around my availability! I am currently in nursing school and work around my school schedule. I am open for the most part even though my schedule changed a lot. I love pets, i treat them as my own since I know they are already missing their owners while they are away. I follow instructions as provided and give them lots of love!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have been dog sitting when I could. I retired from teaching after 29 years so now I have more time available to take care of more dogs. I am retired so I am home most days. We have a large fenced yard so dogs are safe. Your pup will get lots of one on one time and snuggles. I have a fenced clean yard. My dogs are very friendly but also have areas for quiet time if that is needed. If you prefer to stay at your house that is fine too. Retired teacher so my days are pretty open.
About: I am a military spouse and mother of three who previously worked in retail. I got a certification for Veterinary assistant a few years ago. Now I'm hoping to continue my education and become a certified pet nutritionist. In between time I am currently just looking forward to working with and caring for all different pets. I've always loved animals and cared for many different pets growing up. My availability at this time is open due to me being a full-time stay a home parent now. Have skills working with older dogs, large dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, and birds. I'm also willing to work with pets with special needs only if willing to give specific instructions on their needs. I will care for your pet like he/she is my own. I am currently full time at home unless I have others to drop in on throughout the day. The weekends I am fully available to care for pets. I have a fully fenced on yard, baby gates located at the bottom of the stairs and to the laundry room which are the main two places our cat likes to be.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, whether it’s family, friends, or my own pups, I’ve always been the one they trust. Dogs are more than pets to me, they’re family, and being around them brings me true joy. I’m reliable, loving, and treat every dog like my own. I’d love to help care for your furry friend! I work full-time from home, which makes it easy for me to provide walks and care throughout the day. I'm available after 5 PM on weekdays, and I'm fully available on Saturdays and Sundays. Your pup will be in caring hands with a flexible and attentive sitter! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits during my available times, and occasional dog sitting in your home. I love spending time playing, feeding, and making sure your pup feels safe and happy while you're away.
About: I am loving and dedicated to each animal in my care. They're upmost safety and happiness is important for me! From puppies to seniors 🩷 I am currently working part-time! Including pet care into my day to day makes me the happiest. I am very excited to discover this app! I strictly stick to instructions for pet care. Pet safety and their happiness is at the top of my list! Understanding each pet is different and needs mary vary pet to pet is just as important to me as well!
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them is truly a passion rather than just a service I provide. I have extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, as well as birds, goats, chickens, pigs, and some horses. I’m comfortable with daily care routines, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing patient, attentive support—especially for senior animals or those needing extra care. I believe animals communicate in their own way, and I take the time to understand their needs, personalities, and comfort levels so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or farm-style care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am looking to make this my full time job/ passion. I love animals and believe they are part of our families and deserve to live their best lives while they are with us. I have a 8 foot fenced yard, our dogs are up to date on all vaccines and believe all animals should be. I believe when walking dogs they should always be on a leash, for their safety and the walkers.
About: I've had dogs in my life since my infancy and love dogs. I don't have a favorite breed since I think all dogs are special in their own right but I'm a big fan of chihuahuas and bulldogs. I am a freelance artist so I have plenty of time to devote to animal care. I am able to bring my setup for overnight stays so my schedule won't be impacted during pet care. I have a shared two bedroom apartment that is surrounded by plenty of grassy walking areas and a fenced in dog park, so if your pets stay with me, we'll have lots to do. I also don't mind traveling to or staying overnight at a client's house as I have my own vehicle and no other outside obligations.
About: Small-town stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for pets and currently we have 2 rescue pit bulls and 2 rescue cats. I’ve also fostered animals, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My kids are in school from 8–3, so after I care for my own animals in the morning, I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and visits. I already care for a full household of pets, so adding in Rover visits fits in smoothly with my schedule and daily animal care routine. In my home, our pets are treated like family and live indoors with us. They have access to a fenced yard and go outside as they please, along with regular walks and plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather is nice. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, given fresh water, walked or let out as needed, and receive plenty of attention, play, and affection while you’re away.
About: I've owned dogs growing up, as well as watched pets(mainly dogs, cats, and snakes) for family and neighbors for about 10 years now! I have walked, fed, bathed, as well as given different medications to pets, and am comfortable with any breed. I am a fresh college graduate, looking for a good summer time gig! Aside from pet sitting, I also do uber eats/doordash. While pet sitting, I do not have to do deliveries if you would prefer! If needed, I can crate your pets. I am able to walk, pick up, and transport pets as needed. I personally have a lot of energy, so I will happily run around with your pets to get the energy out!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for my whole life. Ages 5-17 i had a dog and i worked for a pet sitting company after and during college for 2 years. I now also own a dog and two cats! I can pet sit after i get off from my job Monday-Friday 7pm- 11pm & Saturday and Sunday i am available anytime and even holidays! Depending on what the care owner needs i will take care of all necessary needs, I’ve even given medication to different animals before! I also will make sure they get all the love!
About: With 5+ years of hands-on animal care, lifelong pet ownership, agriculture school training, barn management experience, and extensive research. I bring unmatched dedication, leadership, and a deep understanding of animals that truly sets me apart. I go to college in NH and have a decently open schedule. I am free to walk, watch, stay with your lovely pets any day and any time. I currently have 3 dogs that I treat as my kiddos by walking, snuggling, and taking care of them daily. I enjoy fur babies more than humans.
About: We enjoy being the first choice for most all of our family and friends when it comes to their pets needs! We like to spend extra time with the animals while their pawrents are away and even enjoy bringing some special homemade treats if allowed! We are a firefighter and homeschool family, so our schedule is extremely flexible. We enjoy spending time with any and all animals. I also have a passion for baking, so bringing an extra homemade treat is allowed is something special too! We have one lab girl who is our four legged princess. As the only other girl in a house of boys, she is 100% spoiled rotten and we wouldn't have it any other way.

“Took great care of our senior dog for 3 weeks. She had never stayed with anyone but family in all of her 13 years. Got regular updates and pictures. Namita was also very flexible about extending her stay when our flight delay caused us to get home 3 days later than planned.”
“Melissa was amazing. We were really nervous about leaving our senior dog for the week but Melissa really calmed our nerves. She sent daily updates on Mugsy and was consistent with communication. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and felt welcomed in her home.”
“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.”
“Damon & Danyale were absolutely fantastic! They took such great care of my dog, Lilo, for the night. I really appreciated the photos and videos they sent – it was so reassuring to see Lilo happy and having fun playing with their dog, Rex. Plus, their location in Princeton was so convenient for me! When I picked her up, she was clearly well-loved and had a blast. I highly recommend them and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Derek & Kristina were amazing. They were very warm and just overall nice people. My dog seemed like he had an amazing time there and they were able to accommodate what I needed at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely use them many more times.”
“Carly was great! She was accepting of a last minute request and catered to the dogs’ needs. Whether if they were docile, lapdogs or forever active and wants to play, she would do it all. The dogs left as happy as ever!”

“I know that I can always count on Julie & Natalie to take care of my dog and make sure he’s comfortable and loved! I’m so grateful that I found them so I can feel confident when I have to leave my pup behind.”
“This is my first time using Rover. I was reluctant to try it sooner because I’ve heard mixed reviews about it but after researching profiles, repeat clients and review ratings I thought I’d give it a try. Lisa and David were my first experience. We had to travel out of town for the holidays and couldn’t take our dog Ruby. The initial meet and greet went well. Ruby seemed comfortable and Lisa and David were very friendly and answered any questions I had so we moved forward and booked. Ruby was with them for 5 days and I was sent several pics each day with updates and overall how Ruby was adjusting. She looked happy and calm which took my stress away! I can tell how much Lisa and David love animals and treated her like their own. I will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Absolutely the Best Dog Sitter! We are so grateful to have found someone as incredible as Jennifer to care for our dog, Raven. She truly feels like family and treats our pup with the same love, attention, and care as if they were her own. We trust her completely, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in the best hands when we’re away. She is reliable, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond…..from sending updates and photos to making sure our dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved at all times. Finding someone this trustworthy is rare, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives. Highly recommend her to anyone…..your pet couldn’t be in better hands!”
“Yankee had so much fun! Ami sent me daily updates and pictures, which helped us a lot because it was our first time leaving our dog with someone. Definitely will bring Yankee back! Thank you😀”
“This is the first time we’ve boarded our dogs so we were a little anxious about how they would adapt. Judith was a total Godsend! Flexible, responsive, and very understanding of our dogs’ individual personalities and needs. We appreciated the daily updates, and could tell they were doing just fine. Which was great because I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, they were happy to see us but clearly not stressed or anxious. Meaning - they felt safe and comfortable and happy under Judith’s care. Her home is perfect for dogs, with a fenced back yard. I’m so thankful and highly recommend Judith!”
“Jingyi and her family did such an amazing job doggy sitting our mini goldendoodle, Autumn. They made sure that she was comfortable and safe. Jingyi sent pictures each day and in every photo, Autumn was having such a great time playing with the family, running in the yard, and cuddling. This put my heart and mind at ease knowing that my dog was in capable hands.”

I’m new to the app and was nervous to have someone watch my baby especially cause I’m new to Texas and didn’t know anyone but, She watched my doggy while I went away to work and she was in great hands with her, Nomie loved her, she sent me pictures and kept me updated about my Nomie. Definitely recommend!”
