“Angel was absolutely amazing! She is attentive and responsive. Angel sent me multiple texts and pictures during my doggy’s stay. Angel made this experience wonderful. I had such a pleasant experience that my doggy will be a returning guest! 😊”
“Brianne and company were awesome! They were sending us pictures while we were gone 11 days and it helped with the separation anxiety (ours.) The whole family is really nice and this is such a better alternative to a kennel. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions but I recommend them! Gary”
“Our boy Thatcher had a wonderful time with Yvonne! She provided us daily updates and pictures to let us see how our boy was doing every day. We will definitely book again soon!”
“I’ve heard of Rover app but not really familiar with it. Erika is AMAZING! She has given our dog great care while we were gone. I felt like it was last minute but she was definitely able to accommodate us d/t family emergency. She updated us everyday thru the app and even sent pictures! Her own dog is great with our dog as well. We will definitely book again with her to watch our dog.”
“Ashley is very responsive and accommodating! I had to change my reservation dates and she responded quickly even though she and her family on the way to a cruise vacation. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Kathleen took great care of my dog, Frankie. He is typically somewhat anxious, but she made him feel right at home. He was relaxed and content during his stay. She sent daily pictures that helped ease me while away. Kathleen has a great set up for dogs to feel at home. She has treats and some toys there for them to play with, if they so desire. She is home with them -which helped me - knowing Frankie wasn't going to be stuck in a crate all day. I would highly recommend her for your dog caring needs.”
“Ann and her husband are super accommodating and easy to communicate with! There were lots of back and forth communication due to the extreme weather but they were very understanding and helpful in every way. They also took great care of my babies. Will consider booking with them again!”

“We had the best experience with Bridgette while she watched our Yorkie for five days. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was kind, attentive, and treated him like he was part of her own family. We loved getting regular updates and photos—he always looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She followed all of his routines perfectly and even gave him a little extra TLC when he was missing us. When we picked him up, he was his same cheerful self, which tells you everything. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and we have already booked with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter!”
“Diana took great care of my Dog Wooly and was very understanding when my car broke down out of town and I couldn’t come to get Wooly as scheduled. She updated me daily on my dog’s condition and activities and gave him his meds as I instructed. Wooly will definitely love to stay with Diana again 🐾”
About: EXPERIENCE Professional experience in the dog boarding industry as well as 39 years of constant com*paw*nionship. I've only been 2 years of my entire life without a dog. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY DOGS My dogs live inside with me! They sleep at the foot of my bed on my bed (until I've had enough and nudge them off) and are employeed full time as my indoor shadow. It's a necessary expense!!! PERSONAL HISTORY/INSIGHT I'm a die-hard loyal companion to my pups bc they are to me first! Never surrendered a single one of my pets no matter the alternative road I faced! Moved and couldnt keep my dog? Didnt move. Approved on home under terms: No Dog, my reply, "my dog and me or deal breaker". I commit whole heartedly and for LIFE! How many people can say that and it be truth? I was the little girl who got untrusting strays to follow her home which I did by singing song from the little mermaid and Andrew Lloyd webber songs. <--yes...u read that right. They have always trusted me and warmed up to me extremely easily. WISDOM/RESILIENCE Growing up...a neighborhood dog almost ended my life and guess what....I learned a lot on what NOT to do and kept the bond strong. What happened to me didn't phase me. CONCLUSION I've always preferred the company of animals over people for many reasons. But don't judge me .... HIRE me. The friendship, respect, consideration and connection I can't help is of the absolute highest caliber. Period. I work from home and am extremely active. I'm an outdoorsy rebel who loves to explore the areas off the path. Hiking is how I stay going and sane. Dogs usually go with me. I care for them by being present and constantly engaged. I notice when they are laying on the floor and don't have something soft. I know the things to look for before a fight breaks out and I also know exactly how to get them to stop that does not risk either of the dogs or myself. *INSIDE THE HOME IS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOING JUST THIS...HIS PET IS ACTUALLY IN THE PHOTOS. AND HE CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES UPON REQUEST!
“We had a great experience with Hailey. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We appreciated her flexibility. She sent us several photos. Our guy seemed to enjoy his stay!”
“Communicates very well, literally from the time my dog was picked up to the time he was dropped off. Very nice people and they took good care of my dog he had so much fun. Do not hesitate they are great!”
“I love using Susan and her girls to care for my dog, Macy! She always keeps me updated with the cutest pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while i am away. Susan is also incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. It’s clear that Macy is well cared for and happy every time we use her. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the 2nd visit for my Annie, can't say enough good things about Erika and Robert and their care. Daily photo updates showing how much fun she was having were much appreciated. Will definitely be back!”
“Destiny was incredible with Max! It was his first time staying with a dog sitter, and she made the experience wonderful! I received frequent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind as a dog mom. It was clear that Max was well cared for and in great hands. I highly recommend Destiny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Destiny again! 🤍🐾”
“Gayle is wonderful! From doggy park to special nutritious dinners made for the pups, she is so good with them! My little Chugs and Tessie had a wonderful time and we found our new pet sitter!🐾💛”

About: I grew up with dogs of all different sizes and breeds along with the sweetest cats. I showered them all with love and affection as well as playing and walking the dogs. I am available all day and every day! I can take care of your little or big fur babies anytime and provide the attention and care needed!

“Nidia was amazing with all the accommodations for my cat while i was on a 4 day out-of-state trip. The communication was very responsive and Nidia was flexible in accommodating last minute changes. Will certainly go with her for peace of mind!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.
“Tyler treated my pup as one of his own. He took great care of my dog and the house. He was fantastic at communicating, was there when he said he would be, and was flexible. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time using Malexy, and she truly goes above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied and taken care of. Her communication is very prompt and thorough, which is the most important thing for us. Thank you, Malexy!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. Knowing Arrow and my home were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.
About: Hi, my name is Darian! I have three dogs of my own, two of them in their senior stage of life. I have been a dog sitter for almost ten years now, taking care of dogs around my community and family friends. I feel the best way to take care of your dogs is in your own household where I can keep them in their own routine! I would love to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood as well as doggy parks and other places with your permission of course! I am up for staying in your home (if you are on vacation) or dropping in every couple of hours when you need me to. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your sweet pups!
About: Hi! I’m a local pet sitter and dog walker based in the Newark/Haslet/North Fort Worth area. I’ve been around animals my entire life; there has always been a pet in my home since I was about four years old. I currently care for one dog and five cats, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities, routines, and needs in a multi-pet household. I also have hands-on rescue experience. In 2016, I lived with my grandmother and great-grandmother who were heavily involved in animal rescue and fostering, with my grandmother serving as a foster coordinator. I helped regularly with events, outreach, and caring for foster animals, including shy, anxious, and high-needs pets. I also assisted during Hurricane Harvey efforts involving animals. Because of that experience, I’m especially comfortable with anxious, timid, or slow-to-trust dogs. I understand how to approach them calmly and respectfully and allow them to warm up at their own pace. My goal is to support families by keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and consistent in their routines while they’re away. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and communicative so you always know your pet is being cared for. Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine, and I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear communication. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I am available Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and weekends from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM during the summer season. I plan my day around being on time for visits and making sure each pet receives consistent care and attention. For house sitting, I am flexible any day of the week and adjust my schedule to match each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to maintain stability for pets by keeping their feeding, walking, and companionship routines unchanged. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care in both my home environment and clients’ homes. For dogs, I provide regular walks, potty breaks, and structured play and enrichment. For cats, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, playtime, and a calm environment that supports their comfort and independence. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided, maintain cleanliness, and keep pets on their established routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and informed while they are away. My goal in every setting is to reduce stress, maintain routine, and provide safe, reliable care. *I do not board pets at my residence. All services are provided in the client’s home.

About: I have a home with 4 dogs! I have a Staffordshire terrier, Pyrenees pit, Border Collie/ Pyrenees and a Labrador, so I have lots of experience with dogs of different breeds and needs. I have always grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them in all stages of their life. I am a teacher, so I have the entire summer off! I can dedicate entire days to taking care of your pups. I dedicate hours each day taking care of my own, prioritizing exercise. I have a fenced yard and a completely dog-safe home. My dogs are treated as family! I allow them on furniture and ensure that nothing is out that could harm them. I also have 3 crates in the home, in case your baby needs a safe place to go!
About: HelIo, I'm new here on Rover. I've had dogs since childhood and currently have two fur babies. Most of my experience comes from taking care of dogs for family and friends. I love and treat every pet the same as I do for my own. Over the times I've been responsible to follow feeding schedules, give medication(s) as instructed, set potty breaks, go on walks, and be alert if a pet became anxious. I believe each pet has its own characteristics that makes them unique. I'm excited to start this journey and make new best friends 🐾 For new clients, I am flexible to do a meet and greet so your pet and I can get familiar before booking. ***PS. I am allergic to cats. I can accept drop-in bookings, but I can't do longer durations such as housesitting. *** Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I am currently working full time. My schedule is set up to a 9/40 week. I work Mon-Thurs one week with a Friday off and the following week Mon-Fri. On my working Friday's I am available late evenings for a drop-in or housesitting. I have Saturday and Sunday off. If you have any questions about my schedule and/or availability, please feel free to contact me. I will ask and follow up with owner's instructions for each pet(s) needs. From schedules to potty breaks their needs will be met. I will ask beforehand if there are any safety concerns I should be aware of in or outside the house. If there are any unusual signs about the pet(s) please let me know so I can be aware of and prepared for.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
“Katherine is fantastic! I reached out to her last minute hoping she could walk my corgi and Aussie the following day while I was at work. She was able to accommodate both of their walking styles and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. She has a great personality and is an outstanding communicator. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Brianne and company were awesome! They were sending us pictures while we were gone 11 days and it helped with the separation anxiety (ours.) The whole family is really nice and this is such a better alternative to a kennel. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions but I recommend them! Gary”

About: EXPERIENCE Professional experience in the dog boarding industry as well as 39 years of constant com*paw*nionship. I've only been 2 years of my entire life without a dog. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY DOGS My dogs live inside with me! They sleep at the foot of my bed on my bed (until I've had enough and nudge them off) and are employeed full time as my indoor shadow. It's a necessary expense!!! PERSONAL HISTORY/INSIGHT I'm a die-hard loyal companion to my pups bc they are to me first! Never surrendered a single one of my pets no matter the alternative road I faced! Moved and couldnt keep my dog? Didnt move. Approved on home under terms: No Dog, my reply, "my dog and me or deal breaker". I commit whole heartedly and for LIFE! How many people can say that and it be truth? I was the little girl who got untrusting strays to follow her home which I did by singing song from the little mermaid and Andrew Lloyd webber songs. <--yes...u read that right. They have always trusted me and warmed up to me extremely easily. WISDOM/RESILIENCE Growing up...a neighborhood dog almost ended my life and guess what....I learned a lot on what NOT to do and kept the bond strong. What happened to me didn't phase me. CONCLUSION I've always preferred the company of animals over people for many reasons. But don't judge me .... HIRE me. The friendship, respect, consideration and connection I can't help is of the absolute highest caliber. Period. I work from home and am extremely active. I'm an outdoorsy rebel who loves to explore the areas off the path. Hiking is how I stay going and sane. Dogs usually go with me. I care for them by being present and constantly engaged. I notice when they are laying on the floor and don't have something soft. I know the things to look for before a fight breaks out and I also know exactly how to get them to stop that does not risk either of the dogs or myself. *INSIDE THE HOME IS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOING JUST THIS...HIS PET IS ACTUALLY IN THE PHOTOS. AND HE CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES UPON REQUEST!

“I love using Susan and her girls to care for my dog, Macy! She always keeps me updated with the cutest pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while i am away. Susan is also incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. It’s clear that Macy is well cared for and happy every time we use her. I highly recommend her!”
“This is the 2nd visit for my Annie, can't say enough good things about Erika and Robert and their care. Daily photo updates showing how much fun she was having were much appreciated. Will definitely be back!”
“We booked last minute and was such an easy process! They were so quick to respond and super helpful. I know Koda had an amazing time there and we will definitely be bringing her back in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute best experience with our dog sitter! She took the time to meet me beforehand and even introduced our dogs to hers to make sure it was a great fit, which meant so much and made me feel completely comfortable. While we were away, she sent daily photos and videos that kept us updated and reassured the whole time. You can truly tell how much she cares about the dogs she watches. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾”
