“Luda did an amazing job! She sent us pictures every day of our dog, which was perfect since we missed her. Our dog felt like she was at home the whole time. I would highly recommend Luda to anyone! Amazing! ?”
“We feel so lucky to have found Lacey! She was very responsive and sent us lots of sweet pictures of our dog cuddling with her and playing with other dogs. We get worried leaving our dog due to some medical issues, but she let us come over and meet her and her dog beforehand so our dog could get used to her home. It was clear our dog was well taken care of care of and had a great time at her house! I highly recommend her.”

“Brianne was absolutely TERRIFIC. She was kind, friendly, easy to reach, flexible with my schedule, and took great care of Scotty. There is a reason she has so many good reviews and I would gladly give her 10 stars if i could. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again”
“Amy and Wade are the absolute BEST sitters for my babies Chloe and Leya. This is my second time using Amy and definitely not my last - I'm so blessed that I found my forever sitter for my babies when I have to leave town. She sent me pictures and videos while I was on vacation. She is so accommodating and caring and most importantly she loves on my babies. She made me feel so comfortable while out of town. Amy thank you so much for all the love. So grateful and blessed I found my forever pet sitter 💕”

“This was our first time leaving Ellie with Chee and Mark…only the second time we have left her with someone other than family. We were nervous about leaving her but all of the pics and wonderful communication from Mark and Chee put us at ease. We could see how much playtime she was getting and how happy she looked! We have already rebooked for our trip in October!”
“Absolutely wonderful! Aimee and her family are so warm and welcoming and took great care of our little Gingy! They treated her like their own and she left with new friends. I will definitely book Aimee again!”

“This was our first time working with Wendy, and she was absolutely amazing. She took fantastic care of our three kitties, and we could tell as we came home to a very happy household. Her communication throughout the entire time was phenomenal, and during our vacation, I had zero worries about our cats being well taken care of. If I could give Wendy 10 stars, I would! She will be our go-to pet sitter from now on.”
“Anna was amazing! So responsive and keeping me updated with lots of photos. I had a last minute travel delay pop up and she was so great working with me to make sure my cat had what she needed until I could make it back home.”
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
“Hannah is amazing!! She was able to come by on short notice and help me out. Highly recommend her! She gave great updates via photos and videos. She also kept in communication with me about anything I needed.”
“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”
“Lillian was awesome! she sent tons of photos, was super quick to respond, and was super cool about me needing to change my booking halfway through my trip! 10/10 recommend!”
“Jessica was amazing! This was my first time having someone other than family care for my cats so I was a little nervous, but she cared for them as if they were her own! I seriously couldn’t recommend her more to care for your babies!”

I received a number of pictures and videos showing how much attention my pup was getting from everyone and how much fun she was having. Prior to the daycare stay, Bridgette allowed a meet and greet, which I appreciate as it is important to me. She’s also great at communicating and her family is super welcoming. Each interaction has given me confidence Brownee is in good hands. Brownee and I look forward to the next visit!”

This would include keeping them over night as well as day care. Overnight boarding usually includes a 24 hour stay.

“Terry is an awesome Rover sitter! He took care of our dog Roxie several days while we were in town from WA visiting family in Texas. He treated Roxie as if she was one of his regulars, and sent us updates each day he had her. We were able to enjoy day trips around the Denton area knowing Roxie was having her own play days at Terry's! We will definitely contact Terry again anytime we return to the area.”

About: I have been the go to person to watch my friend's dogs throughout my 13 years in the military. Either it be a TDY, a Deployment or just for the weekend, I've taken care of dogs for my friend's whenever they need it. I work from home 4 days a week so I'm able to accommodate most kinds of dogs and times for meet and greets. I now work in the office full time so any dogs that I watch will be alone/kenneled from 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I am in the military and may have to leave my house for a few hours, but those appointments are far and few between and will be communicated with you when/if they occur. I have a fenced in yard. I also have 2 large female (spayed) dogs to keep your dog(s) company. If they need to be crated I can accommodate that as well. Please let me know if your dog needs any medications or special needs.

“Kari is dependable and takes great care of my little pup. During these hotter summer days I know I can rely on Kari to make sure Luna Bean gets a midday break without too much exposure to the heat. Highly recommend Kari for pet care!”
About: I have been a passionate pet owner for the last 20 years, as well as a veterinary assistant, foster/rescue advocate, and trainer. I am a licensed human nurse currently working as a stay at home mom, but absolutely love working with animals of all kinds, and wish to continue to help pets and their families in any way that I can. Because of my unique experiences, our home is a wonderful place for me to continue to be involved in pet care and training, and for pet parents to seek skilled quality care. I have been trained in various animal medical skills such as pill administration, injections, subcutaneous fluid administration, topical skin medication/eye medication administration and basic first aid, so caring for animals with ongoing medical needs, mobility restrictions, or medical conditions related to advanced age are not outside of my skill level. My husband Jonathan and I have 3 sweet, well supervised, and well behaved children, and can provide a wonderful boarding or daycare environment for pets that have anxiety with child exposure. There is always someone home when there is a guest pet present, and they are given access to the same amenities that we enjoy- comfy furniture, plenty of safe places to play with close supervision, toys for enrichment, and a clean place to do their "business". Our own dogs have been very well socialized and enjoy the opportunity to interact and play with new friends of all sizes and species. They are excellent with dogs of all sizes as well as cats and exotic pets. I know that routine is very important for some pets, and that disruption of typical routine can cause anxiety. Because they're is always someone home, we can follow care instructions closely to try to emulate the routine that your pet is familiar with. Our home is just shy of 2,000 square feet on 3 acres and has a large fenced back yard for potty and play. Pets will NOT be left outside unsupervised at any time. We do have a covered patio in the back yard as well for shade, and will provide cool, fresh, clean water outdoors during supervised playtime if outdoor play is desired. Indoors, guest pets will have access to our kitchen, dining, and living space. All flooring is hard for easy mess cleanup, and for easy puppy potty training. Off limits sections of the house (ie: storage room, bedrooms when unoccupied) will remain closed or gated. Pets will sleep in our room with us when directly supervised. Our indoor environment is air conditioned and remainds approximately 70-74 degrees year round. Our home is in a wonderful edge of town peice of property that is easy to access from the main highway and far enough from neighbors to be very peaceful. There is a subdivision with nice sidewalks with light traffic residential streets for plenty of leashed walking less than half a mile down the road. There is also a large park nearby. Plenty of exercise can be provided for pets that need it, and I love being outdoors myself. I am currently a stay at home dog and kid mom so I have plenty scheduling flexibility to accommodate things such as medications and potty training I have a fenced yard for free running and play and all of my dogs are crate trained for their safety in case it is needed either with client dogs or for another reason
“Wendy is simply amazing. She gives my dog the attention and love as if she was her own. We’ve have the pleasure of Wendy’s walks and company for 7 months now and the repoir my dog has with her speaks for itself. If you’re looking for a dog walker in the area - I ONLY recommend this girl. So thankful and grateful to have found her ! Love Brooke and Naomi ? ♥️”

About: I have always been around dogs since I was young. I've owned three dogs of my own. I have worked with animals as a kennel tech, veterinary assistant and vet tech. I have experience taking care of senior dogs, young dogs, puppies. I have currently own a Belgian malinois who is a retired police dog, and I regularly work with him teaching him new skills as a working dog. I really enjoy working dogs and training them. I love being outdoors and getting down and dirty with my dogs swimming in the lake, I love bathing dogs and going for runs and walks. I currently a masters level student finishing up my degree in counseling. Before going back to school I worked with dogs for many years. On Mondays, Thursdays, and fridays I go to my internship and the rest of the days of the week im able to care for pets. If you board your dog in my home they must be friendly with my dogs, since i have two. I dont mind if dogs are on the couch. I am comfortable with a variety of animals, including cats, birds, dogs, and hamsters. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to walk outside and I am fairly active. I am very attentive to dogs health and behavior. Having experience in the veterinary industry helps because I can pick up right away if there is something wrong. Im also able to read dog body language, and de escalate situations if a dog becomes distressed or anxious. I am familiar with a wide variety of leashes and harnesses. I also use lots of treats to help build trust with animals and direct dogs with positive reinforcement. If you board your pets at my home they must be dog friendly.
“Isabel was wonderful and Haley was so happy to be at home and not being boarded. Isabel let me know via text message every day the length of the walk and added a photo. Thank you again Isabel and thank goodness I found Rover!!”
About: I have taken care of kittens to senior cats. I also own 3 cats. Drop in visits are offered for your fur baby in your home. I used to breed eskimo spitz dogs for many years. I am retired so my schedule is open seven days per week except when I travel. I will run errands mid-day and provide visits before and after that time. In the clients home, I will follow instructions after visiting in advance of the sitting date with you to understand your cat’s routine. Drop in visits only.
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs and cats, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a sitter who pays attention to the little things like their habits, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I always follow your instructions closely.

About: I have 3 years of experience working in an animal shelter, where I was lucky enough to care for animals of all kinds. I am familiar with the necessary care needed for pets of all ages, from baby to senior. I am practiced in giving medication and basic grooming/ maintenance, as well as having worked with trainers in the past though I am not credentialed. Due to my history, I am also experienced working with animals with behavioural issues and am not intimidated by the size of a pet. I am currently between jobs and, therefore, am able to move around my schedule at will. I have a reliable form of transportation that allows me to be wherever you need me to be when you need me to be there. My apartment is not large enough, nor would the complex allow me to, house animals not already on my lease, but I am physically capable of taking dogs out multiple times per day on walks (duration depends on the heat). I play with my own animals multiple times a day for at least 20 minutes each, so rest assured your cats will also get the exercise they deserve. I will go above and beyond for your pets simply because I believe they deserve it.
About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each dog’s personality. I have experience with puppies and active dogs. Your pup will always feel safe, happy, and loved with me. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m usually off by early midday and love going on walks. Your pup will get lots of care, exercise, and companionship with me. We have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely run, play, and explore. I love spending time outside, so your pup will get plenty of supervised outdoor fun and exercise.
About: I have always had a passion for all types of animals all of my life. I have owned many in my lifetime from small to big and of course a cat lover too! In my younger years I owned and operated a pet sitting service for 10 years, which I enjoyed tremendously! I then expanded to owning and operating natural pet food stores for 16 years. Recently I have sold my business and moved to Texas being with family and now looking forward to be of service to you and your pets! I am new to Rover but my knowledge and experience in pet care is vast and wide. I have worked with many holistic vets through the years and happy to share my knowledge if you are looking for that. I am also experienced in administering medications and insulin for dogs and cats. I am also well versed in puppies, kittens and senior pet care. If your pet requires great exercise I walk 8 miles a day and love walking and know how to get their wiggles out so you can rest assured a happy dog when you come back home! I strive in clear communication while you are away on the care & safety of your pets and home while you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to caring for your pets when you can't be there. I have a very open schedule and I am available any day of the week and times that work with the schedule of you & your pets. Safety is the number one. I will go over details with you prior to make sure your pets and home are in safe keeping, so I know where your dog or cat is typically located/kept in or out of the home and all doors and fences are always secure. It is a detail that I am very particular about!
About: I’ve grown up with pets of my own and helped my mother with her dog business. By taking care of them, playing with them and bathing them. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup. I’m available any day of the week, I just need about 1 day advance notice. I have a massive fenced backyard. About 1/2 acre for your dog to run and play. I also have kids that adore dogs and would make them feel very loved! I have the room to crate them overnight.
“Emma did a great job taking care of our two dogs. She sent plenty of photos and some commentary on their outing that gave me a good idea of their daily walk encounters and other things going on like the weather, the ground conditions and how successfully the dogs finished their usual business. Emma demonstrates a good knowledge of and rapport with animals and reported that even my shy dog Harper warmed up to her during their time together. The dogs were happy and well upon our return so we are pleased with Emma's service while we were away. We would happily rebook Emma for any future animal care needs.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was a little kid and recently had to say goodbye to my last dog. I adore dogs but as empty nesters who travel, I’m not in a place to get another one full time now. So I decided to dog sit instead so that way I get to love on your babies as my own. I have a huge fenced in backyard with all grass and lots of room to roam. I have always let my dogs sleep with me and also cuddle on the couch. Your dog(s) will be in good hands and I look forward to taking care of them while you are away from home. I am currently retired and run a business that is only busy at the holidays. I’m pretty much home every day otherwise and if I’m working, I’m doing it from home. I have one of the biggest backyards in our neighborhood and it is all nice green grass. I don’t have a pool so it’s a great place to roam and play fetch. I also have a dog park in our neighborhood if your dog needs more activity & likes company. My yard is fenced in, kept locked at all times and has cameras so your dog is definitely secured in with us.
About: I have watched animals since I was younger whether it was my own pets or someone else’s. I have watched many of my family and friends animals and they have recommended me to their friends. I currently am a student-athlete at the University of North Texas, but I still have free time to be able to care and play with your animals! I am usually more available in the evenings and most weekends all day. I’m very attentive to their routines. I am able to take your pet outside to use the bathroom. I am able to crate your pet if needed. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, medication, or bedtime routines so your pet can stay as comfortable as possible. I have a cat at my apartment that is able to keep them company.
About: I have raised dogs all of my life and I am a huge animal lover. Each animal I have had have always been rescues. I strongly believe in TLC for all pets. When you're away from home I will give all the love and pets to your furry friend. I love to walk dogs as it benefits both parties. Play time is incredibly important too. Without play time a pet can become restless and bored. I thoroughly enjoy playing fetch with dogs. I am promptly on time with potty breaks, feeding time, and any walking needs. Any request great or small will be done. I currently have a 11 year old male cat I raised from a kitten so I know cat's very well also. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate any and all pet needs a client may have. I do well with a detailed potty and feeding schedule. I send updates and pictures accordingly with feeding times and follow written instructions very well. I make sure family pets are kept to a standard routine so they feel right at home.
About: I really treat your child (yes pets are children) like my own. I want them to feel at home and happy and safe while you’re away! I work from home, so I can work anywhere! I am in FL for a few weeks and do not have my cat, so I can house sit easily :) My schedule is very flexible for those with needy pets! Whether they need a walk or extra food and snuggle time, I am available! I went the let’s to be as comfortable and as happy as possible! If the dog or cat likes to sleep in my bed, they are welcome! I know what it’s like to have a sitter watch my pet. They are in such good hands!!

“Kelly was amazing! Cheyanne loved her stay and Kelly did a wonderful job keeping me informed and sending pictures. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone to keep their fur baby.”
“Terry took care of my dog for 2 weeks while I was on work trip. He sent me daily photos and updates, took care of her daily medications, and monthly medications. I can always depend on him. There was no other dog sitter I was comfortable leaving my dog with for 2 weeks!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Lacey! She was very responsive and sent us lots of sweet pictures of our dog cuddling with her and playing with other dogs. We get worried leaving our dog due to some medical issues, but she let us come over and meet her and her dog beforehand so our dog could get used to her home. It was clear our dog was well taken care of care of and had a great time at her house! I highly recommend her.”
“Brianne was absolutely TERRIFIC. She was kind, friendly, easy to reach, flexible with my schedule, and took great care of Scotty. There is a reason she has so many good reviews and I would gladly give her 10 stars if i could. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again”
“Amy and Wade are the absolute BEST sitters for my babies Chloe and Leya. This is my second time using Amy and definitely not my last - I'm so blessed that I found my forever sitter for my babies when I have to leave town. She sent me pictures and videos while I was on vacation. She is so accommodating and caring and most importantly she loves on my babies. She made me feel so comfortable while out of town. Amy thank you so much for all the love. So grateful and blessed I found my forever pet sitter 💕”
“She was awesome. She provided daily updates with photos of my dog. She also walked her daily and was with her basically all day long. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to run around in as well. My dog had a great experience there.”
“Maisy was with Diana and her husband for 10 days! I never worried not once about her. She had the best time with their pup, Dante! I received lots of communications and pictures about how her day was going. She was in the best hands! Would highly recommend!”
“Katie was so great - she and her family gave our pup lots of love while he was with them. It was so nice to leave him feeling so comfortable about where he was. When we picked him up we could tell he was not upset or nervous from his stay. We will definitely be back!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of our dog Benji! She sent lots of updates and made sure he was eating which isn’t easy when he’s in a new place. She also made sure our little escape artist was supervised on leash! Really appreciate it and helped us enjoy our trip knowing he was taken care of so well!”
“Bonna, did a great job taking care of our dog! The pictures that she shared were so thoughtful and reassuring that our dog was having a fun time while we were on vacation.”
“When you book with Susan, the whole family spoils your baby! Pugsley loves them all. Susan kept me reasonably updated with pictures and comments. They even read him a bedtime story! He's on a diet and they did a great job of loving him without excessive treats. He will stay again. Almost forgot. I was given hand-drawn pictures to post by his crate and a lovely keepsake. I'm quite happy!”
“She was wonderful. She sent photos and videos of my pup throughout the day for updates which was very reassuring and mindful. She has a dog named Layla and my pup played so much with her also.”
“Yvonne and her family took great care of Harvey for over a week! With several pictures throughout his stay, we never had to worry whether he was well cared for. We definitely recommend Yvonne and won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!”
“Sarah watched Nico for 11 days during Thanksgiving Break. And he had a lovely time with her and her Family! This is Nico's 3rd time with Sarah and he feels very comfortable with her and has lots of fun. She sent us videos and pictures each day which made us feel great! Highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend Melissa and Roy! They took great care of Kobe and Muñeca while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Mandy and her family were so good to our pups while we were on vacation for over a week. She updated us daily on how the dogs were adjusting and sent photos while we were gone. Our dogs were so very well taken care of. We are so thankful for such a wonderful family to love on our dogs while we weren’t there. I felt like she went above and beyond with our dogs and we will definitely only be using her in the future as long as she is available. We highly recommend Mandy!”
