From the start, she was professional, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about my pets’ well-being—but what truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected situation. One of my cats had a mishap while I was away, and she went completely above and beyond. She handled everything with such care, patience, and compassion, keeping me informed while also taking the initiative to make sure my pets were comfortable, clean, and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so capable and thoughtful was there. On top of that, Bella and Luna were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I returned, and Charles was in great spirits too. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made it effortless. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a genuine love for caring for cats and have been around them from a young age. Over the years, I have taken in and cared for cats of different personalities and needs, which has given me a strong understanding of their behavior and routines. I have no allergies to cats and am comfortable providing daily care, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making both cats and their owners feel comfortable and secure.
“Ana was super responsive and reliable. She sent us pictures and gave us updates on any details worth noting. I will definitely book her again for future visits. My dogs loved the attention she gave them.”
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I offer drop-in visits and house sitting for cats, which means your kitty gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable: home. I’ll be honest, I’m primarily a dog person, but I have a genuine soft spot for cats and I’ve been around them my whole life. I know that every cat is completely different. Some want to be your best friend the second you walk in, and some need you to earn it. I read the room, respect their boundaries, and never force interaction, but I’m always ready with playtime and attention if they’re into it. I have a healthcare background and a graduate degree in nutrition, so detailed care instructions, medications, special diets, and specific routines are things I take seriously and follow to the letter. Your cat’s needs won’t get glossed over. For drop-ins I make sure food, water, litter, and any medications are handled, and I always stick around long enough to make sure they’re doing well before I leave. For house sitting, your home and your cat both get my full, unhurried attention. Expect photo updates so you can see for yourself that your independent little creature is thriving.
About: I didn’t grow up around cats, but I’ve always loved them and enjoy being around them whenever I get the chance. I’m patient, caring, and happy to give cats attention, playtime, and a calm environment while you’re away. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, litter box cleaning, and following any specific care instructions to make sure your cat feels safe and comfortable.
“Kayla is reliable and trustworthy. She is so good with the cats, plays with them, and takes such good care of them. We love receiving her sweet notes and pictures of the cats. She goes above and beyond, cleaning up messes and just genuinely cares. We will continue to hire Kayla when we go out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of my weiner dog for 7 years now. I treat like she’s my real daughter and will take care of any furry animal the same. I have so much love I want to give to them! I have a lot of time that needs to be used up. I can do after 5pm on weekdays and ANY time during the weekends! On Mondays I can do earliest as 4pm! I walk a lot so if you need long walks for your energized dog, that is no problem! I also spend hours throwing the same toy and think of it as exercise for me AND the dog!
“Valerie is a really nice person & her huge love of animals is a big plus! From the initial meet & greet, our cats liked her and they’re typically shy towards strangers. I think they could tell she’s a true animal lover. She is very thorough and sent pics & updates to us while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats to be checked on by her. Valerie is a wonderful pet sitter & we will definitely use her services again.”

“Shelby is fantastic! I have had my dog Ollie the Border Collie go to doggy daycare multiple times. Each time, she has worked with my crazy work schedule to make sure Ollie was loved on, played with, and taken care of. I think my pup likes her more than he likes me! 🙈😅 If you are in the Terrell area then there’s no one better at helping you with your pets than Shelby.”

Let me know how I can best help take care of your babes!! Meow! I was also foster mom for years to several dogs of all different breeds and ages!

I even taught him sign language! Not having dogs now just gives me more time to help love on your pups! Let me know how I can provide them the best care for their specific needs! Woof woof! Update!!! Buddy, our two year old poodle, basically fell in our laps from God himself!! He was being mistreated and our friends were fostering him, but already had two large dogs and a toddler. I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!! I take pride in the fact that I do this job the way I would want someone to do it for me if I was going out of town or in need of a sitter! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your fur babes!

From the moment I dropped off my dog, I was impressed by the level of care and attention they received. Iovanna's communication was prompt and informative, putting my mind at ease while I was away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals were evident throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Iovanna B's doggie sitting service to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
“Buddy loves going to Nubia’s and always comes home tired from making new friends and playing all day 🙂 He gets excited when he hears her name and always recognizes her street as soon as we turn on it! I appreciate being able to leave him without worrying. I recommend Nubia - 5 ⭐️S!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life varying in all kinds of ages, breeds, and health issues. My dogs are my world and I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I have a flexible schedule being in real estate so that makes it easy for me to schedule these extra dog walkings or check in's for my neighbors. I personally have a dog door with a fenced yard for my two dogs and have spent a lot of time training them so I trust them with the dog door open when I leave the house. For other people's pets, I will of course follow their rules if they crate or leave them free roaming in the house.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do and I also have an old senior citizen grandpa named Hercules🐕. Don’t worry he sleeps all day and is impressed by food and food only! 😂 ✅I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you're away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.

I also love playing with pets and getting on the floor to get their energy out. I have a dog of my own. I make sure to get her outside multiple times a day as well as getting a walk in once a day. During the week I take my dog to the dog park to get interactions with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom who has a very flexible schedule. I have experience with excited dogs who love seeing new people or just getting out to walk. I make sure when walking dogs to give them time to explore while still keeping them safe. When walking if other people or dogs walk past i make sure the dog I am walking is by my side opposite of those walking past for safety.

While I am not a licenced trainer, I do have a few years experience training my own in formal classroom settings. I love getting to know new pets and look forward to taking care of yours like they are my own. The best part of my job is seeing a happy dog and knowing I had a hand in their happiness. I am a firm believer in the golden rule and definitely feel it extends to pups as well!! Working from home allows me to be present with your dog and allow frequent potty breaks in the fenced in yard. My pup, Rocket, will love the company and offer play time for your dog. I have a fenced yard and great neighborhood for daily walks. I gave a puppy of my own and he loves other dogs. I prefer your dog be in their own kennel at night, so please provide a safe kennel at drop off for boarding.

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

I enjoy being around dogs and giving them attention, so dog sitting is something I would be happy to make part of my daily routine. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about making them comfy and safe! At my home, I stick to their routine for feeding and walks, plus tons of playtime. If I'm at your place, I follow your lead, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved while you're away.
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities, including my own pets growing up: Fletch, Belle, Mocha, Pedro, and Nugget. Neighbors and friends have trusted me on many occasions to walk, feed, and play with their pets while they’re away. When it comes to your beloved furry family members, I can guarantee open communication and reliability to keep your time away from home stress-free. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your furry friends on YOUR schedule. You can count on me to dedicate my full attention to your beloved pets. My goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you are away, even with their quirks. Need me to sing your dog a song to get them to eat? You got it! Your cat needs to snuggle with their favorite toy to fall asleep? Say no more!
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee! I’m based in Rockwall and I live with four dogs, so I understand better than most what different personalities, energy levels, and quirks look like and I meet every pet exactly where they are. I have a background in healthcare and just finished my graduate degree in nutrition, so I’m not exaggerating when I say I take animal wellness seriously. I’m completely comfortable with medications, special feeding schedules, dietary needs, or any specific instructions you leave, following care protocols is genuinely second nature to me. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, and I know how much peace of mind matters when you hand your pet off to someone. My goal is always to send you home (or to work, or on your trip) feeling totally at ease. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy and personality, not just a checkbox. Drop-ins are never rushed; I stay, I play, I make sure your pet feels loved. House sitting means your home and your pet both get my full attention and care. Expect photos, videos, and updates throughout every visit because you shouldn’t have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently in a flexible period between positions, so I have a lot of availability right now, including weekends and most weekdays. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with regular clients and their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your needs are recurring or ongoing! Since I offer walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I’m coming to your pet in their own space, which I think is one of the best things for an animal’s comfort and routine. I treat every client’s home with complete respect and care. I’m experienced with following detailed instructions, administering medications, and handling pets of varying temperaments. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, their routine stays intact, and you get someone with a healthcare background making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!
About: I have over 30 years of personal experience and 7 years of professional pet sitter experience in the Dallas surrounding area. Returning clients. Reliable and caring I currently work from home full time but my schedule still remains flexible enough for me to care for your pet through out the day. I have a fenced back yard and an open floor plan for your pet to be able to roam and play. I have the ability to crate if needed and several leashes to walk your pet in the neighborhood. I have 2 dogs of my own are very friendly with other pets so your animal will have someone to keep him or her company. I come stacked with goodies and treats and a toy box full of toys!
About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!
“Alexis is just great! She is punctual, conscientious and my dog just loves her. Unfortunately I have had to cancel the walks. Hopefully we can re-start after the New Year.”
About: Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date! Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit. I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.
About: I have a senior dog so he needs to be let out more often and I have to make sure he eats his food. I also have an aggressive dog but he loves our family and really dislikes other people so I have dealt with aggressive and sometimes timid dogs. I work at a restaurant but only 3-4 times a week so I am free whenever I am needed. I love dogs and animals I care for them like they are my own and give them lots of love so they don’t miss their owners to much when they are gone I make sure to do everything that I am told to do by the owners and also do it at the times that I am told to do it
About: Hello! I have interacted with dogs for most of my life and currently have three pets that I consider to be my own and is spoiled as such! I am a veteran and a current full-time student and enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood and exploring new areas. I have always had a love for all animals. I take pride in everything that I do so rest assured that your pup (or kitty) will be in good hands. There are multiple trails and parks in the area that I would be happy to take your dog to. My own dog is high-energy so I take multiple walks throughout the day and have multiple toys and treats that he doesn't mind sharing :) If your dog is a couch potato, that's ok too! I am flexible to the needs of the individual. Currently working part time from Thurs-Sun in the evenings and am only gone 5 hours. Once school starts back up I will only be working part-time Friday and Saturday. I let my own dogs roam free. I do have a cat and the litter box is in my closet so if your pet likes getting into things they would only be allowed in the living room. I can take dogs that are not cat-friendly as I have family that could take the cat for those days. I take direction from clients if I am visiting their home.

She is truly one of the most caring, patient, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitters I’ve ever met. Her communication was exceptional! she kept me updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared for my dogs as if they were her own.

“Reached out to Eric for a last minute boarding to attend a family event. Eric was more than welcoming. Showed up and was given a friendly showing of the backyard and he let my two 1 year old pups get introduced to his awesome dogs. They all settled in and it was great. My dogs immidiatly began running and playing and I knew they would have a great time. I got photo updates and status reports that were awesome and pick up was a breeze. My dogs were passed out as soon as I got them in my vehicle. Really enjoyed the peace of mind having my dogs at Eric's and we will def be back when we're in town.”

She was also very flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
