“Delaney just kept my baby Winston for almost a week and it went so great!! She kept me updated every day with pictures, videos, and stories of how he was doing! I will absolutely be using her from here on out!! 💜”
“Sarah was great. She accepted my request last minute, when I texted her she responded in a timely matter. My dog seemed to have fun so I’m grateful that she was the one watching him. If she’s available I’d rebook and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Kaitlyn and Scott are amazing! My willow loved them and had a great time. She’s so good at sending updates, pictures, and videos. Will definitely use them again. Thank y’all again guys!!!! ❤️”
“Amanda is awesome. She kept me updated on Lola, sent videos and pictures throughout her stay, and took her on walks. My Lola is very high anxiety and Amanda went out of her way to make sure she was comfortable. She is very loving and patient and even extended Lola’s stay no problem when I last minute found out I’d be out of town an extra day. I will definitely be using Amanda again. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate her and her kindness. I felt very comfortable knowing Lola was in her care. You can’t go wrong choosing Amanda to take care of your animal. She will go above and beyond to make sure your babies are well taken care of.”
“Arianna took such great care of Stuart while I was in town for an event. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Her dog Dakota was a wonderful host as well—Stu loved having a built-in play buddy during his stay. I would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog! As was her whole family! Harley can be very shy and alittle feisty sometimes towards people she doesn’t know but the moment I brought her over she was so comfortable with Jennifer and that’s a huge positive when your dog is automatically comfortable with someone also imo! Jennifer updated us daily with texts or pics and the whole experience was just a pleasure overall!! I would definitely recommend this home for any and all pet sitting needs and if I ever need someone to watch Harley again, Jennifer will be the first person I book with! Thank you guys again!!! I appreciate you so much!”
“Johnathon was so great. I had a medical emergency and needed flexible boarding, and he offered just that. I got pictures every day and they were clearly happy and well taken care of. Johnathon was a godsend when I needed it most. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Amelia was fantastic! Quick to respond, sent pictures of Murphy’s whole stay, and was extremely flexible and sweet. We felt so happy and comfortable leaving him at her home! Thanks so much Amelia! ♥️”
About: I've been taking care of and interacting with animals and pets all my life and I am even going to college to become a rehabilitator/ conservationist!! I have taken vet-med classes in high school so I know how to administer medication, eye-drops, and gauze. I have worked as a kennel technician at PetSuites, and handle all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats and their different personalities and temperaments. I currently work part time at Tech, and my hours usually vary, but my schedule can be easily adjusted to fit the needs of your fur babies. I usually can easily switch my hours around so just let me know what works best for you and I can easily change my hours ! I live in a gated apartment complex and all of our yards are open; however, we do have fenced open field where people bring their pets to run around a play. My roommate also has a cat and he is very sweet, but if they don't get along, that is not a problem at all since my roommate's cat likes to stay and chill in her room.
“Jordyn and her family watched my dog in their home while I went away for a wedding—I got lots of updates and photos and my dog had a great time! Would recommend to anyone who needed a dogsitter.”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals from a young age and started dog walking when I was about 10. Since then, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m gentle, reliable, and always make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would at home. I currently work part-time and am available most weekdays after 2 PM (occasionally 3 PM). I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed to prioritize your pet’s care. I have open availability on weekends, and with summer coming up, I’ll have even more flexibility, including extended stays and overnight care if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for play and exercise. I also have a calm, friendly cat who mostly keeps to himself in my room. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, crate training, or any special needs, to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and at home.
“Cecilia was so great with my anxious cat. She was accommodating to his needs. Additionally, she provided frequent photos and thorough updates during his 10-day stay. Her communication was superb. Would 100% recommend!!”

To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.
About: Hi, I grew up with 5 indoor/outdoor cats that have all aged gracefully into old age. I worked full time as a vet tech for 8months before becoming a student at Texas Tech, majoring in animal science. Working as a vet tech I learned practical skills regarding cat life style and care. Other than my practical skills towards cats I have a love for their nature and will provide detailed and affectionate care for your feline friends!
About: I've been surrounded by all sorts of animals my entire life! All of my family, neighbors and friends have always had my watch over their animals all throughout my life. I'm currently a student at Texas Tech University! I have classes throughout the week from 11am to about 5pm most days. On weekends I am readily available. Since I am in a dorm currently, I am unable to bring your animal to me. I will only be able to go to your home to car for the pet. I have always been trusted to petsit animals ranging from cattle to kittens and puppies.
About: I have always had a special connection with animals. I have neve once had an animal that didn’t like me! I have been around dogs my whole life and have always loved them. I am currently a college student, but other than my one class a day, i have plenty of time to take care of your pet! My dogs are kept outside since we have such a big backyard. They are friendly and bigger making it easier for them to run and play outside!
About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! 1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. 2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.
About: Animals are genuinely my passion which is why I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in Animal Science (Companion Animal Emphasis)! Some classes I took include Domestic Animal Nutrition, Zoology, Dog Training I, etc., and I’ve worked with our farm animals as well! My professors were Drs, Veterinarians and Dog Trainers, so I’m quite knowledgeable in all aspects of pet care. I worked at a dog daycare for three years and absolutely loved it, as well as interned at the NEW Zoo in Green Bay, WI, therefore I have professional experience as well as personal experience! I grew up with dogs, from Pit Bulls to Shih Tzus, and even rescue mutts, I’ve never lived a day without some sort of animal in my care! I’ve also owned guinea pigs, hamsters, geckos, snakes, mice and hermit crabs, as well as two cats. Currently in my possession is only one of my cats and my snake since we moved to TX, but at home is my other cat, an English Mastiff and a Chihuahua. I miss seeing my dogs all the time so I would love to watch yours! The job market is insane right now, and no matter how many jobs I apply to they always find someone else to fill the position or never respond in the first place, so my schedule is WIDE OPEN! Whatever you need me to do I will! I love being outside, so walks, the dog park, just hanging out or even hiking can all be accomplished. I’m trained in nail trimming (including cats and larger rodents) and any basic grooming needs, like baths and teeth brushing, so I can do those as well! I love to just play with animals, so give me a dog or cat toy and I’ll sit in the floor with them for hours. And whatever schedule you feed/ have bathroom breaks/ walk your animals on I can guarantee I will stick to that schedule!

About: We have been doing Rover for a decade, and we love hosting your pets in our home! We have always had pets in our home, they’ve always been part of our life! When families are out of town we think it is very important for pets to be taken care of by someone who will treat them like their families do. We want to provide them with love and care while their families are away and help them stick to their routine so they will transition easily back when their family returns home. We have 1 loving pup in our home. She is very well mannered and loves to have furry friends over! Ellie, our dachshund, lost both her dog siblings over the last couple years. So she is always excited to have playmates to spend time with. One of us is home full-time five days a week and we work part time the other two days. So we will have lots of time to give attention and love to your pets. We will provide exercise and play time as well as snuggle and rest time. We have a fenced in yard with a dog run if dogs need some outside time. We also have a gated area in the house so dogs can have their own personal space to eat as well as sleep at night if needed.

“Kaitlyn and Scott are amazing! My willow loved them and had a great time. She’s so good at sending updates, pictures, and videos. Will definitely use them again. Thank y’all again guys!!!! ❤️”
“Arianna took such great care of Stuart while I was in town for an event. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Her dog Dakota was a wonderful host as well—Stu loved having a built-in play buddy during his stay. I would absolutely book with her again—highly recommend!”
“Johnathon was so great. I had a medical emergency and needed flexible boarding, and he offered just that. I got pictures every day and they were clearly happy and well taken care of. Johnathon was a godsend when I needed it most. Thank you so much ❤️”
“Amelia was fantastic! Quick to respond, sent pictures of Murphy’s whole stay, and was extremely flexible and sweet. We felt so happy and comfortable leaving him at her home! Thanks so much Amelia! ♥️”
About: I've been taking care of and interacting with animals and pets all my life and I am even going to college to become a rehabilitator/ conservationist!! I have taken vet-med classes in high school so I know how to administer medication, eye-drops, and gauze. I have worked as a kennel technician at PetSuites, and handle all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats and their different personalities and temperaments. I currently work part time at Tech, and my hours usually vary, but my schedule can be easily adjusted to fit the needs of your fur babies. I usually can easily switch my hours around so just let me know what works best for you and I can easily change my hours ! I live in a gated apartment complex and all of our yards are open; however, we do have fenced open field where people bring their pets to run around a play. My roommate also has a cat and he is very sweet, but if they don't get along, that is not a problem at all since my roommate's cat likes to stay and chill in her room.
“Jordyn and her family watched my dog in their home while I went away for a wedding—I got lots of updates and photos and my dog had a great time! Would recommend to anyone who needed a dogsitter.”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals from a young age and started dog walking when I was about 10. Since then, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m gentle, reliable, and always make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would at home. I currently work part-time and am available most weekdays after 2 PM (occasionally 3 PM). I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed to prioritize your pet’s care. I have open availability on weekends, and with summer coming up, I’ll have even more flexibility, including extended stays and overnight care if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for play and exercise. I also have a calm, friendly cat who mostly keeps to himself in my room. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, crate training, or any special needs, to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and at home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medication, and companionship. I provide a safe, loving environment and treat every pet with the same care I would my own. I just graduated college and am unemployed. Needless to say I have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies. I have a puppy who would love to keep your dog company and I also have a crate if need be. I have a fully fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I have one puppy who would love to play and keep your dog company. My mornings begin around 6 am with outside potty time. I let my dog out frequently throughout the day and play frequently. I do a final outside potty and play time before bed around 9pm.
“Melissa and her husband did an amazing job with Bear. The daily updates kept us comfortable and their dogs were the PERFECT playmates for our little guy. Will be booking them for sure on our next trip out of town! Also, Bear has a strict diet, and they absolutely made sure he ate only the food we provided unlike other hosts in the past. One of the biggest pluses in our book ?”
