“Lily was by far one of the BEST sitters we’ve ever had for our cats! She’s a very gentle and sweet individual who has a natural ability to identify our cats’ needs. We were impressed with her consistent daily reporting on our cats, especially with her breathings with our more antisocial furbaby. We couldn’t have been more fortunate in finding Lily to trust our cats with over the holidays.”


“Dayana, Agreed to do drop ins on REALLY SHORT notice... She was prompt, communicative and excellent in all regards. I hope the next time We require a drop in She is available.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.

About: I use to have a cat and cared for and loved him so. I think my background with him is what has made me love sitting so much. From cuddles and biscuits to zoomies & playtime, It will be purrrrfect!

About: I’ve had cats for the past 7 years and currently have 5 cats of my own (Charlie, Scarlett, Mousse, Bandit, and Butter), so cats are a very big part of my everyday life! I’ve always loved their individual personalities and quirks, and I’m very comfortable giving cats the patience and space they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also have a bit of a habit of becoming the neighborhood cat sitter! I regularly look after cats in my neighborhood and love getting to know all of their different personalities. I have a bit of a cat weakness lol. I’ve also cared for friends’ cats, including one very special Maine Coon who has some health problems. She has become one of my favorite cats in the world, and caring for her has given me experience with being attentive to a cat’s individual health needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether your cat is social and loves attention, playful and curious, shy and needs some patience, or prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. The only service I’m unable to offer for cats is boarding them in my home. Since I have 5 cats of my own, I know how territorial cats can be, and I don’t want to put a visiting cat in an environment that could be stressful or uncomfortable for them. Instead, I’m happy to provide drop-in visits or care in your home, where your cat can stay in their own familiar and comfortable environment. I think this is often the best option for cats, especially those who are more independent or easily stressed by changes in their surroundings.

“Jasmine was an amazing care taker! She took the time to make sure my cats were well taken care of and provided great communication. Titan and Aspen were so happy to have her come by”
About: Reliable, active, and caring dog sitter who treats every pup like family. I provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a teacher and volleyball coach, caring for others is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is built around responsibility, consistency, and staying active, which makes pet care a natural fit. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine; such as feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles; while keeping your home tidy, secure, and filled with comfort in your absence
About: Hey there! Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. The unconditional love they give us is just a great feeling. So a little about me, I went to Tarleton State for Animal Science. I want the animals to be comfortable with me and in the environment. Animals deserve extra love and attention, specially when you’re busy all day or going out of town. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician with animals for 8+ years, as well as taking care of animals outside of work. I love all sorts of animals and think they deserve the same care as humans get! Dogs have feelings too! I believe animals need to go out a lot and get exercise as well as socializing. Dogs need just as much love as we need! I will always try to accommodate my schedule to make sure the fur babies have plenty of time to get some fresh air, potty break and some love during the day! When I care of clients fur babies, I always make sure to follow your guidelines with your babies. That being if they needed to be leash walked or they get to run free in the yard.
About: I have always had several dogs in my home growing up, am a dog lover at heart, and miss my pups. I work in Waco so I am available anywhere between Waco and temple! Like I said, I work remote 100% of the time, so I don’t have any time or day restrictions really. I am also available weekends, etc. I have lots of love to give& great bully rubs!! I am very mindful of making sure they have water, etc. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, can’t wait to meet yours.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for a variety of animals was part of everyday life. My experience also includes working as a wrangler out West, where I handled and cared for horses and livestock in a professional setting. From puppies and dogs to larger animals, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. At home, I have an energetic English Springer Spaniel puppy who loves making new friends and playing with other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, or just extra attention and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me. Daily updates and photos are always included so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work outside the home from typically 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays and am typically home the rest of the day. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets in my care, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. My evenings and weekends are largely spent at home, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship and care throughout their stay. Pets are cared for in a safe, calm home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. When I’m away at work, all pets stay safely inside. I maintain a structured, secure environment and provide attentive care based on lifelong animal experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

“Suzanne was so awesome!! I needed a sitter last minute and she was able to watch my dogs for me. She was really sweet and my dogs came back smiling and happy. I for sure will be booking again with her. Thank you!!!!”

About: Hello my name is Cayla. I’m from Houston, Tx and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I’ve raised other animals in FFA for my high school years while alson having other house hold pets within the years ( rabbit, turtle, dogs, and fish). I’m choosing to do Rover so I can build clientele and so I can expand my knowledge on dogs outside my pit bull and a few other breeds I’ve dealt with within my family and friends. Hopefully I’m someone you’ll love and trust around your home and your four-legged best friend. I do work from home and only work 4 days out the week so it's no hassle making sure everything and everyone is doing great. During the booking process I do ask for a routine so I can keep everything consistent. I do have doggie treats, extra blankets, training pads, and doggie toys I keep on stand by. In the morning I will open cages and let them move around freely aslong as im home and awake. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to them aswell, I do work from home so that will not be an issue.

About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
“Dorothy was great! She helped provide daycare for my dog. I was impressed! She was very responsive from the beginning of my interactions with her. She provided me an immediate update on how my dog was doing. She also sent plenty of pictures during his time with her! 10/10 would recommend her services!”

“Krysta and her family were great with my pups. They seemed to have had a good time there and didn’t seem to want to go home with me. I would recommend her and will book with her again.”

About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was about 10 years old. I have been trusted with both family and friends fur babies on multiple occasions. I have had experience with birds, cats, dogs, fish, and even large lizards! I love all ages of puppies, and I love seeing all of their personalities! I am a stay at home mom to my baby girl, so I have all the time in the world to take care of and love on your fur babies and make sure they are getting tons of attention all day! I have a large fenced in back yard as well as my own fur babies who love making new friends. I have a kennel available for use if needed, but I like to let the dogs run around and play as long as possible!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough to handle responsibilities. I grew up on 10 acres and have provided love and care for dogs, cats, birds(pigeons, chickens, parakeets), and horses. I have volunteered at animal shelters since high school and have pet sat for both families and friends. I love all animals and am excited to meet all the fur babies! I’m a stay at home mom who is looking for a fun and furry way to spend time. I would be around most of the time to ensure your fur baby has what they need. I have my own fur baby as well, an indoor kitty named Jasmine. I have a large fence in yard and a large dog crate for when I do need to step out which will be kept in the air conditioning. They will get daily walks, weather permitting, and as much outdoor time as they wish. If there is anything particular your fur baby enjoys, let me know and I will provide it if it is in my capabilities.

About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day.

About: I've always had multiple animals and will love your fur baby or babies like my own. I have base acces, so that won't be a problem. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a 5 year old who loves to help if it is safe for him to do so. I have a fenced in backyard and a silly miniature schnauzer who loves making new friends. I also have a dependable car if in-home animal sitting if that is what you are more comfortable with.

As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner.

Happy to accommodate your animal in any way they need.
“My dog takes a long time to warm up to men, hates peanut butter, and isn’t food motivated. Within the first 5 minutes of our meet and greet my dog was eating peanut butter treats out of his hand and happily getting all the scratches. I have no idea how he did it but my dog instantly loved him. When it came time for the booking my dog jumped out of the car and ran straight for his door with out waiting for me. I got a ton of photos and my dog was very relaxed in all of them. I highly recommend Joshua.”

About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: We have worked with animals in all stages of life. Have helped train in the past. We love dogs and love the opportunity to take care of yours. We will be able to come home for lunch to spend a good amount of time with them mid day. We both currently work full time and are free after 3pm Friday until Sunday evening. We know it can be difficult trusting your fur baby with someone new or just not having them by your side but we would love to do anything to help you and your fur baby feel comfortable with their stay. We have a park right by our house to walk and intact with other dogs. You dog would have the opportunity to run around play on our property where we would take your dog for a walk and play. Although we both work full time we would make your fur babies our top priority. Our house is puppy/ dog proof. We want you to feel comfortable with us as well as allowing us to take care of your baby.

About: I am Deaf & love animals. We have 4 pets. 2 dogs (Faye & Bella - sweet girls!), & 2 cats (Mister & Garfield - our boys!) I am willing to house sit any animals of any sizes/kind. I also know how to give dogs oral medications and such. I am willing to travel about 50 miles from my house to the location for services. Check out the calendar for my availability. Thank you for looking at my profile. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime! Available anytime but would like to know ahead of time so I can accommodate with my schedule since I work from home running 3 businesses. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are freely roaming around my house. If necessary, I can come to your place if you’re more comfortable with that.
About: I consider myself the perfect caregiver. Flexible schedule, lots of love, high energy. With references! I have been dog/house sitting for friends regularly for a few years, and a pet enthusiast/caregiver my entire life! I have experience with multiple types of animals. I am a part-time stylist looking to fill my extra time getting paid for something I love to do. My two Siamese cats, Pixie & Dusty, are pretty low maintenance. They have dry food/water dispensers and get wet food as a “treat” at dinner time. My Great Dane puppy, Memphis, needs a little bit more of my time. If I stay over at your house, I need to make sure my dog is kenneled by 8pm, and let out the next morning no later than 6:30am. My schedule is very flexible otherwise! At client’s homes I always follow instructions carefully. I prefer to have a few notes of written instructions to reference. Instructions can be printed out or sent to my phone. My animals are pretty low-maintenance, so if I end up sitting locally at a clients home, it’s not a lot of trouble. I don’t mind sleeping/cuddling with your furbaby at night. ❤️
About: I have many years of caring for various animals, I have a deep understand of animal behavior, particularly from my background in Animal Scienve, and my genuine love for animals. Having grown up on a farm I have many skills including how to administer medications to any animal. I strive to make an stress-free, and cozy environment for every pet! I am currently in school, but only have in person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I am available during the week and most weekends to take care of your babies😊 I have a fenced in backyard that your pet will be able to use anytime! I also have two dog parks in my apartment complex that can be used to get some exercise as well as a long walking trail!
About: I’ve always had a dog involved in my life at such a young age. After I moved out on my own, I got my own fur babies. My dogs have been all over the USA with me. I am a retired truck driver. I love to give as much love & time as I can to my fur babies because we only have them for a limited time. I have a very flexible schedule since I am a self employed. I block off my schedule well in advance so there are no complications when booking. I love to take Coda on a walk in the evening, as we have a decent back yard and she enjoys roaming around it and laying in the sun. I have a huge basket of toys to allow for playing as well as give treats as seen fit.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every shape and size, i have experience with all health issues and can give meds as well as shots. i can also groom ( 4+ years experience with all breeds) as well as care for your fur babies in any aspect they need! I have a very flexible schedule and can fit any of your time needs. I also can stick to your normal schedule so your dog does not feel out of place. I put your pets as a priority. I have a fenced in yard, and offer leash walking potty breaks. I also have a few pups of mine inside that are friendly and ready to play. I can also offer a crate for your dogs and keep them comfy no matter what they need!
About: I've had pets my whole life. And when I'm not taking care of my own or my parent's dogs, I care for my neighbors and sisters dogs. I also love cats and can take on the responsibilities of those as well. I have also cared for mice, rats, and bunnies so if you have a house full, I'm not afraid of the challenge. I am able to take on walks, give baths, feed, and give allergy medicine as needed. I will also give plenty of play time to your furry family members. I am a uber driver who makes her own schedule, so I can easily work around yours. I do like to drive some during the day, but I can work anywhere within my 100 mile radius so I'll remain close to your home to provide your animal with potty breaks. Dogs and cats both thrive better in their own home with their normal routine. It is a more comfortable experience for your pet and if your pet prefers a sleeping buddy, I can stay overnight. A guest bed or even a sofa is fine for me. I bring my own food, so no need to provide me anything if I'm staying in your home.

About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I helped raise numerous litters of puppies, which taught me everything from feeding schedules and socialization to house training and keeping a close eye on the little ones. Today I regularly watch my friends’ pets and care for my grandparents’ two dogs — feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are my favorite people, and I treat every one like my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home the majority of the day and your pup will rarely be left alone. My schedule is flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your dog is used to. The house is quiet and calm, which works well for dogs who prefer a low-key environment. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog is treated like family. We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.
About: I love pets!! I have owned many animals growing up and loved each and every one. I currently own 3 dogs and a hedgehog. They are all playful and loving animals!! I would love to take care of, play with, and have fun with your furry friend! Since I have 3 dogs of my own, my days consist of playing tug of war, chase, and doing tricks! I enjoy making a routine for the animals I watch so that they know what to expect while you are away. I understand accidents happen!! If you trust your pet to free roam in your home while you’re away that’s no problem. It is no big deal to me to clean up after your pet. All I ask is anything that your pet will need, you leave out for me to easily find!
About: A house is not a home without paw prints 🐾 I will love your furrbabies like my own! 💗 Note I offer daycare services for cats as well! My pet-care experience incudes looking after dogs, cats and other various small animals since I was a teen. I've worked at pet stores, veterinary clinics, shelters and adoption agencies. When it comes to animals in my care, my goal is to provide a happy and stress-free experience. 🌈 I will use positive reinforcement techniques to engage with your pet and bear in mind any behavior or medical issues. 💜 I'm accepting same day bookings and require 3 days notice for boarding and house sitting cancellations. I am available most days of the week and I'm very flexible with arrangements, however typically I stay within a 30 mile range of my home. I can board small dogs, puppies, special needs dogs, and seniors. Animals that board with me receive attention and enrichment their entire stay except while I'm at work. ❗️ Vaccinations and prevention must be up to date to board❗️ For emergency situations please have leashes and/or carriers available for each pet. I'm sort of a neat freak and will probably poop-scoop your yard or knock out some dishes for the heck of it. That said, I have no problem doing a few extra things around the house while I'm looking after your pets. If you have a few other critters like reptiles, birds, fish, rodents, you name it I can look after them as well! 🐈🐩🐇🐢🐠 🐦
