“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful! She cared for both of our dogs on short notice and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start she was communicative, reliable and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent regular updates and many photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. We came home to two exhausted and happy pups, Would definitely book with Lindsay again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Lisa was great! This was my first time using rover and I was nervous, but she eased my nerves and sent lots of pictures and updates! Flynn was happy and tired when he got home from his fun weekend stay with her!”
“Lea was wonderful! We got to know each other before Kongo stayed and that made the first time even more comfortable. She kept us updated and sent pics. Will definitely ask if Kongo can stay in the future!”
“Lea Ann was our first dog sitter and she definitely was great! Communication was efficient, she sent pictures to us daily, and she was very welcoming upon arrival. She updated us on Robin and really helped ease our first time nerves. We plan on working with her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Madison was fantastic! Our pup is pretty timid, so we were nervous about leaving her with someone for the first time. Madison kept in touch with us every day and made sure we knew how she was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. The daily photos were such a great bonus too—we loved seeing our pup happy and cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Sara was an absolute Godsent. You came through for me the night before I left for my trip. She was so welcoming and attentive. She sent be multiple pictures and check ins of how my furbabies were doing daily. My heart was at ease and I knew they were well taken care of. She is amazing and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Melissa and Matt are extraordinary as dog sitters. They treated our dog like she was their family, making her feel comfortable, taking her on beautiful hikes and long walks, and asking questions to make sure they kept our dog safe and happy. They shared wonderful pictures of her adventures and her stay generally via text. We would be thrilled to have Melissa and Matt take care of our dog anytime. They provide much more than dog sitting; they provide the perfect dog vacation. ”
“Cheryl was great with our 3yr old Great Dane Apollo! From the moment we walked in Apollo felt right at home and found a nice place to plop down! I was happy to see he was so relaxed from the start as he as struggled with new places and people in the past. Cheryl sent lots of updates and responded quickly to my text, which will give any owner so much piece of mind when they are far away from their fur babies!! Would recommend to anyone and we will be back!!”

“We hired Nithimas to watch our sweet Ruby while we were away for a week, and she was fantastic from start to finish. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos—it gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and was always quick to respond to messages. When we got home, our dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely care about the pets she look after. We would absolutely book Nithimas again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“I was super pleased with Libu and so thankful for the wonderful care he provided for my dog, George. He was very communicative from the start and always responded in a timely manner during the booking process. Libu even set up a meet-and-greet so George could meet him and his sweet pup, Emma, before we left. Libu sent daily pictures and videos and kept me updated on how George was doing. As this was my first time using Rover, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Libu and will definitely book with him again in the future. His rates are also very reasonable for the great level of care he provides!”
“Shannon was great! Before the stay, we did a meet and greet to be sure my baby would do well at her place. During the stay, I got good communication and updates throughout! My baby had such a good time!!!”
“This was my first time I used Rover. I had to go out of town for a few days. Prior to leaving my Dog Dusty with Min, I took him over so she could meet him. When I first met Min, she was warm and friendly. When I was leaving, she immediately got acquainted with my dog and took him outside and walked him. I felt comfortable and knew my dog would be in good hands. While I was away, Min kept me informed several times a day about his eating and potty time. She gave him his medication daily and sent me Videos of Dusty playing with other dogs. Min did a great job caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services in the near future!”
“Stephanie is really a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for my two toy poodles for 12 days, and both dogs had a great time. She kept me up to date on how they were doing every day. She kept them busy with time outside in her fenced yard plus play time inside. I never worried, and they were in perfect condition when I picked them up. I recommend Stephanie very highly.”

Rini has a large home and a great backyard that is perfect for larger dogs. If you need a fantastic sitter for your 60lb+ dog, then look no further than Rini!! ☺️”
“I appreciate Sam and their family so much for taking such awesome care of my puppy while I was away! From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. When I picked her up, she was so happy and full of energy. Clearly, she had a great time! She came back nice and content, i can tell she was also well fed. All her stuff was neatly packed and clean, including her leash and bed. Sam and their family were super sweet and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. They also made sure to check in with us about anything they were unsure of. It’s clear they really love animals and treat them like their own. I’m so grateful for their care and will definitely be using Sam’s services again. I highly recommend them if you need great pet care!”
“Very friendly and kind , went the extra mile by sending frequent notifications. Great availability. Love the other pets allow socializing for my puppy.”
“Totally awesome and very nice. Her dog was super nice and friendly and had no issues with my energetic pup. When I picked him up on the first day they were in the really big back yard rolling around in the grass. My dog loves running and rolling so he was super happy. She sent out lots of photos and gave great updates during the day. She was able to work with me on times and was free on short notice. I will definitely rebook. I recommend her if your pup is a ball of energy and likes to play with other dogs like mine.”
About: Hi, I’m Eloise! I bring hands-on experience across pet boarding facilities, vet centers, bathing salons, fostering, and personal pet care, along with a military background built on structure, discipline, and accountability. Rover increased their prices so they are now taking an extra 10% from us. Sorry if we have to raise prices. I’ve worked in multiple states and helped manage boarding environments firsthand, so I understand what actually works and what fails behind the scenes. I don’t cut corners, and I don’t stay quiet when care isn’t being done right. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’ve cared for high-energy puppies, senior dogs, anxious rescues, and independent cats. I’m confident handling most medications and pets with unique or detailed needs. I also have strong experience with reactivity. I rescued my own dog 3.5 years ago with severe reactivity and no socialization, and successfully trained her into a stable, manageable dog. Since 2022, I’ve fostered dogs and cats and actively work on behavior and training while they’re in my care. My schedule is flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I offer walks, drop-ins, and in-home care with consistency and structure. I’m partnered with a trusted boarding home in Dallas (75252), so I can offer boarding and daycare options for dog friendly, crate trained pets if needed. If you have a specific routine or timing your pet is used to, I do my best to match it closely. I have drill weekend once a month. I understand pet care is not one size fits all. Every pet is different, and I adjust my approach based on their behavior, comfort level, and routine. I follow your instructions exactly, meals, walks, medications, habits, and boundaries. Consistency matters, especially for anxious or reactive pets. I keep environments calm, structured, and clean. I pay attention to behavior changes, stress signals, and safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident and not have to worry while you’re away.
“River had such a fun day with Jane, Prince, Choco and Dragon! From the minute I dropped River off, it was evident that Jane loves dogs and has a great rapport with them. Jane sent photos throughout the day that reassured me that our energetic Cavapoo was settling right in. He played with her dogs, took a walk and even explored a large field on a long leash. River came home tired and happy! Jane has my enthusiastic recommendation as a caring, conscientious dog sitter.”
“10/10 service. I’m a first time dog mom and was hesitant about leaving my little baby with anyone. She definitely put my mind at ease and even worked with me even though I made a last minute appointment.”

About: Connecting with a dog is special. I find it easier to do once I've given a good ear scratch and a few massages! I've cared for and loved on my family's cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as I grew up. I was able to adopt my own fur baby as a young adult and now I have a mixed breed that gets all the love. Up until now, I've offered my friends and family dog care and boarding but now I am ready to offer trustworthy care to you as well! I have been working from home for 9 years!

My yard is fenced and includes a large covered patio. You can usually find me inside sitting by the window or outside in a rocking chair.

“Princella and team did a great job! They reliably stepped up last minute when my usual walker had an emergency, and they were able to do every visit with no problems. Thank you so much, will definitely be using again!”
“I can’t recommend our dog walker enough! Adrian consistently went above and beyond every single visit. Not only was he always on time, but he also sent a text before arriving. What really stands out is the level of care he provides. He took extra time to clean our dog’s paws after walks, which is something we truly appreciate, especially on muddy or rainy days. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own.”

My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by pups my whole life and I’ve spent the last 8 years raising and caring for my own high energy dog, so I totally get the zoomies, the quirks, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with active dogs, love getting outside for walks and playtime, and always make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, a playmate, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like my own (with lots of love and maybe a few extra belly rubs). I also am very knowledgeable when It comes to reactive pups. I've worked with my dog for the last 7 years on reactive management. Anyone with a reactive dog knows how easily our pups can be triggered and how safety is incredibly heightened. This is something i'm comfortable with and total the person for the job. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and to keep your dog happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine!

I love creating a comfortable routine for each pet and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine. I have experience with a variety of personalities, including reactive and high-energy dogs, as my own dog has helped me learn the importance of patience, body language, boundaries, and positive interactions. During drop-ins and walks, I prioritize safety first following your instructions, respecting your pet’s comfort level, and providing plenty of attention, enrichment, and care. I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise, companionship, and consistency they need while you’re away, along with updates so you can have peace of mind.

“Jackson (my cocker spaniel) is VERY suspicious of new people. It takes him a long time before he is comfortable. I let Lawence know this upfront and he assured me that it would be fine. Before Jackson started his walk schedule, Lawrence met up with Jackson and myself to introduce himself. Jackson was still quite suspicious of this new person but was not hostile or mean. Lawrence started walking Jackson and at first, Jackson was hesitant to go walking with this stranger. After about 2 weeks, Jackson knows Lawrence, even knows his car when he pulls up and wags his stub in anticipation of his walk. I appreciate that Lawrence took it slow and let Jackson define the terms of their relationship....LOL.”

Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions as I know trusting someone to take care of your pets is incredibly important. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Lea was wonderful! We got to know each other before Kongo stayed and that made the first time even more comfortable. She kept us updated and sent pics. Will definitely ask if Kongo can stay in the future!”
“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!”
“Madison was fantastic! Our pup is pretty timid, so we were nervous about leaving her with someone for the first time. Madison kept in touch with us every day and made sure we knew how she was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. The daily photos were such a great bonus too—we loved seeing our pup happy and cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa and Matt are extraordinary as dog sitters. They treated our dog like she was their family, making her feel comfortable, taking her on beautiful hikes and long walks, and asking questions to make sure they kept our dog safe and happy. They shared wonderful pictures of her adventures and her stay generally via text. We would be thrilled to have Melissa and Matt take care of our dog anytime. They provide much more than dog sitting; they provide the perfect dog vacation. ”
“Cheryl was great with our 3yr old Great Dane Apollo! From the moment we walked in Apollo felt right at home and found a nice place to plop down! I was happy to see he was so relaxed from the start as he as struggled with new places and people in the past. Cheryl sent lots of updates and responded quickly to my text, which will give any owner so much piece of mind when they are far away from their fur babies!! Would recommend to anyone and we will be back!!”
“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😀”
“Jingyi was amazing with our dog! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and took great care of our dog. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Shannon was great! Before the stay, we did a meet and greet to be sure my baby would do well at her place. During the stay, I got good communication and updates throughout! My baby had such a good time!!!”

“Amy has been a wonderful surrogate dog mom for my Irish Setter on more than one occasion! She truly loves dogs and has always sent regular photos. Totally recommend her!”
“Mojo had the best time. He got to play with Maggi and they had lots of fun. Jeremy has sent quick updates with photos and videos, and is wonderful to talk to. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Amalia was so easy to work with. She took good care of my dog, Bruno and was communicative throughout the whole stay. She updates me with pictures everyday and even went above and beyond to keep my faucets dripping when the weather got too cold. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“Heather is fantastic! I have a Giant Schnauzer, Luna, who loves spending time with Heather’s and her pup while I’m out of town. Heather sends update pics a few times a day to show how great a time Luna is having and has been flexible a couple times when I’ve come across travel issues. She also has a large kennel already which makes it convenient for me not to have to deal with providing my own. I highly recommend Heather!”
“My two dogs loved their stay with Janna! They got a lot of attention and love while we were gone, and we received pictures during their stay to keep us updated. Very satisfied with their care, we’d use Janna again!”
“Thank you Roge and Maria . Thanks again taking-care our boy when he was not settled ..both Roge and Maria are so passionate about taking care our boy .. looking for the next visit ..”
“Julie, Natalie, and their family were the best! They kept us updated on Zeus’ time with them and even got him dressed up in bunny ears for the Easter holiday. I felt so at ease with Zeus in their home and will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Fernanda and Matthew are the BEST! Sent pictures of Dora and constant updates. Had an obvious love for dogs and was a vacation for our dog instead of us being worried if she was happy or not!”
