Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pearson
“Abel and Alisa are great. They kept me up to date on my pup’s well being with daily texts on activities, followed up with plenty of pics and short videos. My little one looked super happy which gave us a peace of mind on our vacation. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I will definitely use them again”
“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Thank you so much for welcoming the doggies into your home. They immediately felt safe and welcome. You should honestly be a photographer; the pics you sent were fantastic.”
“Ariana was wonderful. Very flexible and laid back. I felt totally comfortable leaving my girls with her. They were well cared for, and I received pictures and updates to help my peace of mind. The girls were happy to see us, but have settle right into a contented calm when returning home. It makes it so much easier to leave them a few days knowing they are happy and in good hands while we are gone. We look forward to next time. Thank you so much, Ariana.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Charlie! Being able to leave him, knowing he’s in good hands, gives me such peace of mind! And, thank you for his treats! He loved them!”

“This was Luno’s first time being cared for by someone else, so I was pretty nervous, but they were amazing. They kept me updated and sent pictures which really put me at ease. Luno was well cared for and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.”

“My pups love going to Brian’s home. There are always smiles and tail wags during drop off. Brian is great with up dates with pictures and even videos . Can’t wait to book again !”
“Breanna and Jonathon are absolutely amazing! They did an awesome job with Peanut and Molly. My dogs were so well cared for, and I received daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They treated my pups just like family—even letting them sleep with them—which meant the world to me. We’ve tried boarding before, but our dogs never seemed as happy as they were with Breanna and Jonathon. The difference was night and day! It was clear that they truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again. They took outstanding care of our dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“Amber took amazing care of our fur baby! We could tell how happy he was from the videos she sent while we were away, and he was just as joyful when we picked him up. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be coming back to her whenever we need help with our little one!”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”

Everything was in order upon our return home and we know our cat was taken care of. Again, highly recommend!”

“We hired Shawnette to check in on our dogs while we were away for a quick cheer competition. She was absolutely fantastic with our two greyhounds. One is super friendly and can be a handful while the other is super shy and timid. Shawnette was able to win over the shy one and handle the overzealous one. We absolutely recommend her and will be using her again.”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life, my grandma has owned cats and various family and friends. Although I have never owned cats, I have always felt a kinship to them and they always seem to love to curl up to me.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years, in many different locations. I've always had a pet, both growing up and now, both cats and dogs. I've also lived on a farm so worked with all kinds of animals. I am currently stationed at Lackland and work during the week. I will be available in the evenings and on the weekends. And can housesit if you live near Lackland. I love walking and playing with dogs, especially when it's cooler out. It's always a win to me when they're exhausted and just want to sleep when they get back into the house. I can take your dog for a walk, depending on the weather of course (I will never make a dog walk when it's super hot out), I let them out in the yard if it is too hot. I will make sure to follow the rules of your home with your pet, whether it be crate for bed or allowed on furniture. I will make sure to give attention to your animals while I'm at your home, lots of love and cuddling and playing.

“Just like last time, dogs loved their daycare with Abel and Alisa! One of them was shy at first but it's could tell she warmed up to them from the frequent updates they sent. The doggies enjoyed their enrichment like playing with the fetch machine and running in bubbles. Communication is great and I would recommend Abel and Alisa!”

“1st time user here. Steph responded quickly to my last minute request for daycare for the afternoon. I’m so thankful b/c I was able to spend time with my daughter at Lackland AFB, where I couldn’t take Noob. It was a great stay for him though, and he looked like he had fun playing in the water trough. He was zonked out the rest of the night, so it must’ve been a great time.

About: Hello there! I'm Daniel. My love for animals began as far back as I can remember, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for them—from dogs and cats to smaller pets and even insects. With 15 years of experience, I'm currently studying canine and feline ethology. I can offer basic grooming too (extra service) and am certified in pet CPR. My wife is also an approved caregiver, so your pet gets twice the love for the price of one. I'm glad to be here for you, as a helping and trusted hand! I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 2:30pm every weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available. Overnights aren’t a problem either — there is always somebody at home and can handle morning meetings, so your pets are cared for around the clock! In our home, pets are treated like family. We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
About: “What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve been a cat mom since 2021, so I understand the importance of routines, comfort, and gentle attention. My husband Daniel (registered Rover sitter) and I also had the opportunity to care for an older dog who struggled with body pain, which taught me how important it is to be patient, compassionate, and attentive to special needs. I know how much peace of mind it brings when you can trust someone with your furry family, and I promise to treat your pet with the same love and kindness I give my own.” “I’m a full-time mom, which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for pets. My little one is curious, careful, and respectful around animals, and our home is full of love for furry friends. Whether we see them every day or just occasionally, there’s always space in our hearts (and home) for another pet — we can never have enough love to give! In addition, my husband Daniel and I are both registered Rover sitters. We share the responsibility of pet care and are passionate animal lovers. With us, your pets will always be supervised, safe, and surrounded by love.” “When pets stay with us, they are part of our family. I provide love, comfort, and attention, following their routines and making sure they feel safe and happy. My home is full of care, cuddles, and playtime, and I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos.”

“I can’t say enough amazing things about Rose and Her husband Tito. So accommodating. This was a last minute decision and she was readily available. We were wanting to take the kids to six flags but were worried we weren’t going to be able to without dog care. Our pup has anxiety for days when being boarded. Rose was the perfect solution. When we picked him up he was the same happy pup we left. She sent me frequent pics and updated without being asked. She had several others she was watching and it worked out perfectly. Our dog had friends to play with. He got to roam and wasn’t kept locked up. We will definitely be using her again. And I highly recommend her to anyone else. We were just passing through as we live 4 hours away. We just did a one day trip but knowing how much fun our dog had we will definitely be booking overnights with her. Even if it means coming out of our way to drop him off. We can have a great time no matter where we are knowing he is being well cared for. We got to go to six flags and kids had a great time. A win for all!”
“Kristy is great and very helpful! I’m very skeptical about who I trust to watch my dog but right away, I felt that I wouldn’t have any issues with her and she would take good care of my Zeus and she definitely did. It’s also a plus that Zeus and her pup Zeus get a long and can play together throughout the day! Thanks so much!”
“Becky did a great job! She quickly responded to our request, she was friendly and kind to interact with, and most importantly, our furry little guy was a happy camper when we picked him up. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Always a wonderful time for my 2 doodles at Lauren’s! They always have such a great time playing with their boys and pups. She keeps me updated and I feel extremely safe and assured that my pups are getting the best love and care possible from her. Thanks Lauren!”

“From the meet and greet to dropping off and picking up, Jorge was very accommodating and made the process super easy. Palmer clearly had plenty of fun as he more or less slept for a few days after we got home. We received plenty of updates and photos. I especially appreciate the extra care and attentiveness that was given to Palmer as Palmer found a way to cut on foot days before we were set to leave. Jorge said it was no problem and Palmer was treated well while the wound was healing. I will absolutely be happy to contact Jorge again next time we go out of town.”
“Thank you so much for welcoming the doggies into your home. They immediately felt safe and welcome. You should honestly be a photographer; the pics you sent were fantastic.”
“Ariana was wonderful. Very flexible and laid back. I felt totally comfortable leaving my girls with her. They were well cared for, and I received pictures and updates to help my peace of mind. The girls were happy to see us, but have settle right into a contented calm when returning home. It makes it so much easier to leave them a few days knowing they are happy and in good hands while we are gone. We look forward to next time. Thank you so much, Ariana.”
“Jenna and Robert took great care of Nutmeg for a long weekend stay. They sent updates and pictures daily! Would definitely recommend using their services, your pets will get lots of love and care from them :).”
“This was Luno’s first time being cared for by someone else, so I was pretty nervous, but they were amazing. They kept me updated and sent pictures which really put me at ease. Luno was well cared for and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family.”
“Jeremy took amazing care of our dog Ziggy while we were on our trip to Florida. He was incredibly easy to work with, very understanding, and made the whole experience stress‑free. Ziggy was happy, well‑cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. We truly appreciate his reliability and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Breanna and Jonathon are absolutely amazing! They did an awesome job with Peanut and Molly. My dogs were so well cared for, and I received daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They treated my pups just like family—even letting them sleep with them—which meant the world to me. We’ve tried boarding before, but our dogs never seemed as happy as they were with Breanna and Jonathon. The difference was night and day! It was clear that they truly love what they do and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using them again. They took outstanding care of our dogs, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Carlson was very sweet with my pup and very patient about the whole process. She was kind and very accommodating I felt I could relax away from my dog and she gave daily updates so I could see how he was doing which put my mind at ease I would recommend them and will plan on using their service again. Thank you!”
“My dog was upset that I picked him up! Amazing Sitter, and we will definitely be returning. Very detailed with updates as well as sensing photos of activities done with my dog.”
“Jennifer always does an excellent job of taking care of our 2 dogs. We trust her 100% and we will always be repeat customers. Our dogs are always happy and look forward to staying with her.”
“Kathy has a really organized dog sitting space. Her backyard works well for my active dog. She is clear when she can and can't care for your pet and is straight-forward wait time works for her family. If something changes on her end she apologizes and always tries to be fair. Excellent boarder!”
“Imagine having the comfort of leaving your pet to stay with a family member, only difference being that Martin is more attuned to my dog’s nature and needs than any family member I have ever asked to look after my Pitt/Staffy mix, Glow. The entire experience of having my precious baby stay with Martin for a period of 8 days could not have been more comfortable. From the first meet and greet, I could tell that Martin has genuinely cares for pets, and understands a lot about managing dogs of all breeds, sizes and energy level levels. During the stay, Martin consistently communicated with video clips and regular touch points. Each video showed me Glow enjoying herself, playing, and being extremely comfortable. Martin also offered to take my dog earlier than the booking, which allowed me to pack in peace and know that she is getting used to her new temporary family. I highly recommend leaving your pets for short or extended stay with Martin and his wonderful family. For the amount of activity and comfort he provided to my pet, the rates were extremely affordable. I look forward to Glow’s next stay at Uncle Martin’s. Our family sends gratitude for an excellent experience.”
“Alexander and Taline took great care of our girl. They helped us out when we needed a sitter at the last minute (VERY last minute), and they were super communicative, always providing us plenty of pictures and updates. 100% recommend and would happily book with them again!”
“Tiffany behaved excellent with Tokyo to the point that he did not want to leave his house. I definitely recommend her and the treatment of her was very affable.”
“Chelsea was amazing! Made Cooper feel right at home and treated him like he was her own. I received a ton of pictures and videos throughout Cooper’s stay and will definitely be dropping him off again.”
“Stefanie & her family have been so great with cotton & he always enjoy his stay. She is the best sitter we have had & will be greatly missed since we are now moving to another State. Thank you for everything Stefanie ❤️”
“She's a very sweet girl. Very attentive and respectful. Did a great job taking care of our baby while we were out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
