“Mazzy was in the greatest hands ever, and i will definately be a return customer of Grace and John, they updated me on mazzy while i was away and kept my mind at ease while away. 10/10 reccomend!”
“Sophia was fantasic and will gladly use her again in the future. She scheduled a meet between us and our dogs prior to the actual stay, which was comforting! Marley stayed with Sophia for the weekend and had a great time! I got an update with photos every night. Marley is sometimes not good with dogs and just in case she wasn't friendly with her dogs, Sophia was able to accomodate that as well. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome people, Cheryl and Rick were so caring and loving with Bambi, we are now like family, if Bambi could talk he would ask to go with them again, even if just to go say hi! They sent me pictures daily, Bambi got so spoiled, just as much as with mom! Thank you guys!”
“This was our first time booking with rover and we were for sure nervous - but Edwin was FANTASTIC! I’m such a nervous dog mom and our pup, Cigar, got a little sick just before we left town. So we were extra worried we wouldn’t be able to find a place for her to stay for 10 days on such short notice. But after leaving Cig with Edwin and receiving updates about her settling in right away, we instantly felt like she was in good hands. He was thorough with her meds, asked questions when needed, and sent the perfect amount of updates. We know Cigar was being well loved and soaking up the attention and yard space! We were even a bit worried she would like his home more and not want to come back with us after her stay lol! Absolutely will be keeping Edwin in mind for our next trip.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She kept us updated about Freya, played with her constantly & sent us many photos & videos, we felt really at peace of mind while traveling, also very knowledgeable & professional! Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi.

I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours!

Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there!

If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Yari was an excellent babysitter for my sweet boy King!! He loved being with her and she kept us updated all the time about him. I would 100% go back to use her again to King!!! ?% recommended!!??????????”
About: Hi my name Destiny and I'm 31 years old. Dogs are my life, I also used to work at a dog day care before I decided to begin one on my own. I've always loved animals since I was a little girl and knew I wanted to work with them. I decided that caring for other dogs as if their were my own is absolutely an amazing feeling to make a pup feel safe while you're away. Also I have taken on a variety of dogs and tend to their needs such as grooming, medication and love! Experience with 20+ dogs in 1room with me and I absolutly love my job! I'm very aware of avoiding and stopping dog fights and noticing small injuries from rough playing. I can make sure your baby is safe and well for your return. I work from home that has a high flexibility for me to step away when needed to be able to tend to your pets needs. I start my work at home at 5:30 am and able to step away when ever your fur babies need attention or care. Once I clock out at 2, I may go run errands to start dinner. But I’m a homebody and much rather be in with dogs than be out and about.

“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”

About: I’ve owned cats for my entire life! I’ve always had a cat in the house and currently have two of my own. I do not mind giving medication, or cleaning the litter box if needed. I enjoy playing with the kitties and giving pets and mental stimulation.
About: I have cared for my daughters cats at times when she goes out of town. They eat at a certain time so I go over before 6pm and play with them and then feed them. Change and clean out their litter boxes. Make sure if they made a mess to clean it so she doesn't have to. I own 3 cats myself they are outside cats but they are well fed and water everyday.

About: As a veterinary technician at a no-kill animal shelter, I care for hundreds of cats each year and have extensive experience administering medications, injections, diabetic care, monitoring seizure disorders, caring for kittens, seniors, and cats with special medical needs. Your cat's health, safety, and comfort are always my highest priorities. My home is designed to be a calm, cat-focused environment free from the stress and noise that can come with dogs or busy boarding facilities. I provide cozy blankets, cat trees, scratching posts, hideaways, window perches for bird watching, interactive toys, and other enrichment activities to help your cat feel secure, relaxed, and entertained during their stay. As a lifelong animal lover with experience in veterinary medicine, fostering, and animal care, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and prefers a quiet corner, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive monitoring throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me keep an eye on guests even when I'm briefly away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, peaceful, low-stress home where they can settle in comfortably while you're away. Whether your feline family member needs extra cuddles, specialized medical care, or simply a quiet sunbeam to nap in, they'll receive compassionate, professional care from an experienced veterinary professional. 🐾🐱

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.
“This couple is so great with Luna and very professional when it comes to her care. Top tier worry free services for my dog during my busy season is so much appreciated!!”

About: Hi, I’m Kate! I actively foster rescue dogs through the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter (SMRAS) and have previously fostered with BARC Animal Shelter in Houston. I have a special place in my heart for pitties and rescue dogs, but I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog wants to play fetch for hours, nap on the couch, follow me from room to room, or pretend they’ve never been fed a day in their life, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. Fair warning: you may receive an unreasonable number of pet photos. P.S. 🤭 If your pet is a little outside the norm, feel free to ask! I’ve also cared for rabbits, horses, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. My days already revolve around animals. Between fostering rescue dogs and pet sitting, your pet won’t be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be a part of it, too. I care deeply about the pets in my care and work hard to earn both their trust and yours every step of the way, always.

“Grace and her husband were excellent! This is the first time my little 16 1/2 year old Dash has ever stayed in a home without either of his 2 mommas with him, and it looks like he felt at home with them. Grace was really good about keeping me updated and sending pictures throughout the day. I was never worried about him being safe and happy at all. Thanks to you, Grace, we were able to get through a very difficult day (my nephew's funeral service) without the added stress of having to worry about my Dash. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“Angela is wonderful and attentive to the dogs in her care! I have a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate and take care of my dog 10/10 would have her dog sit again :)”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. From dogs/cats to hampers and lizards, I’ve cared for them. Animals are my passion! It’s not just a job, it’s my life.

“Kristina was great. She accepted my request with only three days advanced notice. When she came to meet my dogs they loved her and in talking to each other we found that we live a few blocks from each other and we have common interests. I received pictures and could see the the path that the walks were taken on. Couldn't be more pleased. Will definitely remember her for future bookings.”

Thank you and see you soon!
About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dog, Rosemary, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, many nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee. I have taken care of my own animals my entire life. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. Many of my pets have required medicine in their old age, so I am very comfortable administering medicine to an animal. I have dog-sat as well as house-sat on multiple occasions. One thing unique to me is my want for the animals to have as much freedom as possible. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh! Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent.
About: I always make sure my pet babies are well fed and clean water everyday. Cages or areas well cleaned and tidy. Organize their space well. Take the time to hold/pet each one individually one on one time with me. Its a daily,weekly,nightly routine. I have to make sure my babies are looking good, feeling good. I take my time to clean and feed and hold each pet so they know I love them dearly. I would treat a clients pet just as I would my own with love and understanding. Patient is very important when caring for any pet. I would love it as it was my own.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a real dog owner first. I understand dogs because I live with them every day—not just during appointments. I’m patient, observant, and I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra care, and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I do work overnight at Tesla however during the days I can walk (dogs) or sit (cats/dogs) from noon to 5pm. On the weekends I can board animals overnight. I have a fully fenced yard, plus two dogs and a cat who are all very pet-friendly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to be extra respectful of both your pet and your space.
About: I’ve had and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve also worked at pet stores and humane societies. There is no better way to spend your time than being surrounded by animals. I care for animals because being a portable pooper scooper and a human chew toy aren’t considered real jobs. Let me know what your needs are and we’ll work together to make sure that your babies are taken care of when you can’t be home with them. I will always show the utmost respect to your pet and your home. This includes cleaning up after myself and your pet during our time together, removing my shoes before entering your home if you would like, and anything else that will make you comfortable with the arrangement.
About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.
“Faith is such a reliable dog walker. I highly recommend her services as she will make sure to take care of your dog. She walked my dog on a regular basis and she was proactive at communicating when she needed adjustments on the schedule which I appreciated. I will be reaching out to her again.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Ever since I was a little kid animals were a part of life. I have experience in all forms of animal care. Giving medication, training, mental stimulation, and anything else needed! I am great with all doggies and kitties. I enjoy all animals and making sure they are happy and healthy :). I am currently only a student. My schedule is pretty open because I recently left the military. This fits into my schedule well because of how flexible it is. I have a large fenced in yard with many toys. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own who enjoy company. The dogs get lots of pets, outside time, and fed on a scheduled basis.
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs of my own over the years, which has given me a strong understanding of daily routines, behavior, and what it takes to keep dogs happy and healthy. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable with: • Reading body language and adjusting to a dog’s energy and needs • Maintaining consistent routines (feeding, walks, potty breaks) • Providing both active play and calm companionship • Handling different personalities, from energetic to more relaxed dogs I understand that every dog is different, and I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a small business owner and parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to intentionally build pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m often already out and about during the day, which makes it easy for me to incorporate walks and drop-in visits consistently and on time. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so I can give each dog the attention and care they deserve. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekday walks and midday visits. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as consistent and comfortable as possible for your dog. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s walks, feeding, potty breaks, or specific instructions, so your dog feels secure and at ease. I take a calm, attentive approach and make sure they get both the care and interaction they need during each visit. I also prioritize clear communication, so you can expect updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away. If I’m doing a drop-in visit, I make sure your dog is not only cared for, but also gets a bit of extra attention, comfort, and connection during that time.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I would love the opportunity to care for yours.

I’m your gal! 🙂👍🏼 For boarding opportunities, I have a huge fenced yard, and lots of space in my house with hardwood floors for easy clean up when pups make accidents.

Since I make my own schedule, it offers me the ability to care for my clientele and cater to their personal preferences and needs, providing a better experience for your furry friends and you. Every animal I’ve had a chance to be a sitter for has had their own unique situations and needs throughout the day. I understand schedules, health problems, medications, walk times, eating times, etc, change with every client opportunity. I’m able to provide services that make it easy for the animals to adjust to a new place when boarding for multiple days, sticking to their normal every day routines requested by the pet parent.

“Sophia was fantasic and will gladly use her again in the future. She scheduled a meet between us and our dogs prior to the actual stay, which was comforting! Marley stayed with Sophia for the weekend and had a great time! I got an update with photos every night. Marley is sometimes not good with dogs and just in case she wasn't friendly with her dogs, Sophia was able to accomodate that as well. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time booking with rover and we were for sure nervous - but Edwin was FANTASTIC! I’m such a nervous dog mom and our pup, Cigar, got a little sick just before we left town. So we were extra worried we wouldn’t be able to find a place for her to stay for 10 days on such short notice. But after leaving Cig with Edwin and receiving updates about her settling in right away, we instantly felt like she was in good hands. He was thorough with her meds, asked questions when needed, and sent the perfect amount of updates. We know Cigar was being well loved and soaking up the attention and yard space! We were even a bit worried she would like his home more and not want to come back with us after her stay lol! Absolutely will be keeping Edwin in mind for our next trip.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She kept us updated about Freya, played with her constantly & sent us many photos & videos, we felt really at peace of mind while traveling, also very knowledgeable & professional! Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
About: Hi my name Destiny and I'm 31 years old. Dogs are my life, I also used to work at a dog day care before I decided to begin one on my own. I've always loved animals since I was a little girl and knew I wanted to work with them. I decided that caring for other dogs as if their were my own is absolutely an amazing feeling to make a pup feel safe while you're away. Also I have taken on a variety of dogs and tend to their needs such as grooming, medication and love! Experience with 20+ dogs in 1room with me and I absolutly love my job! I'm very aware of avoiding and stopping dog fights and noticing small injuries from rough playing. I can make sure your baby is safe and well for your return. I work from home that has a high flexibility for me to step away when needed to be able to tend to your pets needs. I start my work at home at 5:30 am and able to step away when ever your fur babies need attention or care. Once I clock out at 2, I may go run errands to start dinner. But I’m a homebody and much rather be in with dogs than be out and about.
“Diane went above our expectations with Maggie. Maggie was still grieving over the loss of her “sister” and wasn’t eating, and she hates when we leave her behind. Diane and her fur-family welcomed Maggie and kept her busy and loved while we were gone. We got pictures and videos and it truly made our absence from her easier.”
“Marlee has an incredible time while Ande watched her! She kept me updated with pictures of Marlee often and took her hiking! When I got home from getting Marlee she was exhausted from all the plays and fun she had during her stay! I will for sure be using Ande again next time I need a sitter! Marlee was well taken care of and she even sent home some treats. You can trust her with your pup :)”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.
“Kate did an outstanding job taking care of our Chocolate Lab, Mia. Her updates, pictures and videos kept us reassured Mia was in great hands and staying active and having fun. Definitely recommend Kate and we will be using her again in the near future.”
“Hannah was amazing! She took the time to speak to me before leaving Rex to make sure I was comfortable. She also sent photos of my boy a couple times a day while we were away which definitely put us at ease. She’s great and we will definitely try and book her for future trips! Thanks again Hannah! ❤️”
About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!
