Highly-rated overnight sitters - Richardson
“We’re so grateful for the care and love you gave our pup while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing Ollie was in such good hands. You treated him like family and kept us updated the whole time — thank you for being so reliable, kind, and attentive.”
“Stella took good care of our dog while we were out of town for the long weekend. Through pictures, we were assured our dog was having a fun time each day with a good mix of play and his daily routine. We highly recommend Stella.”
“Min was amazing!! She sent photos every day and updated me on how he was doing! She is the best! Super responsive as well! Will definitely be using her again!”
“I’m so thankful I found Maxine to take care of Oliver while I was away for three weeks. Leaving him for that long was honestly one of the things I was most nervous about, but Maxine made me feel so much better by keeping me updated and letting me know how he was doing. Oliver can be a little particular when meeting other dogs, so I really appreciated Maxine’s patience with him and her willingness to work through his personality. She was also incredibly understanding when my flight home was delayed. Most importantly, I could tell Oliver was cared for and loved while I was gone. Coming home to him happy and excited to see me was the best feeling. I’m really grateful to Maxine for taking such good care of my little guy and giving me peace of mind while I was traveling. I would absolutely trust her with Oliver again!”
“Matthew was such a nice guy. He took care of our Roxy it was our first time leaving her with someone he slept with her the first night to make her comfortable. I woke up to photos of them that helped me really enjoy my vacation. She had fun with his dogs too she kept them busy. Even gave her a sacrifice (stuffed animal) to calm her during a storm. Will rebook in the future thanks Matthew ☺️”
“Amalia was so easy to work with. She took good care of my dog, Bruno and was communicative throughout the whole stay. She updates me with pictures everyday and even went above and beyond to keep my faucets dripping when the weather got too cold. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“Mollie had a great time staying with Taylor. She really bonded with their son. Although she was well taken care of, she was happy to see us and got right back into her normal routines. Thanks Taylor, see you next time!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we will use Lu every time! She kept us updated the whole time and we felt so comfortable knowing our Millie was being taken care of. 100% recommend!!”
“Absolutely the Best Dog Sitter! We are so grateful to have found someone as incredible as Jennifer to care for our dog, Raven. She truly feels like family and treats our pup with the same love, attention, and care as if they were her own. We trust her completely, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in the best hands when we’re away. She is reliable, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond…..from sending updates and photos to making sure our dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved at all times. Finding someone this trustworthy is rare, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her in our lives. Highly recommend her to anyone…..your pet couldn’t be in better hands!”
“Diana was great watching Chewie. I received videos and pictures of him so I knew he was doing well away from home. He came back happy, and was even well settled on her couch when I came to pick him up! Her communication was clear and I would happily use Diana again.”
“Great experience. Dylan and Jennifer kept our Sailor with best care and updated us on a daily basis. Highly recommend. Will reach out if we need to their services again in the future. Thank you Dylan and Jennifer!”

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing! She took care of my 14 year old Pomeranian Zeus for a week and sent all the photos and videos. I could tell that Zeus was having a great time and was in such wonderful hands while I was away. Her communication was quick and friendly. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover, I chose Kate because the vide i received in her profile. She let me in to see the dog area. I always have anxiety when I drop him off but the pictures and videos kept coming in. So she really took that anxiety down. The dogs have their own space for them in the home and a nice play yard. I be in their area again Oct will rebook. Great choice she won't disappoint”
“Melissa was incredible with my dog Ellie! She was warm, communicative, and clearly cared for Ellie like her own. I got great updates, and Ellie came home happy and relaxed. I’d absolutely book Melissa again — highly recommend!”
“Ana was a great dog sitter. She treated our dog like family and took great care of him. She also sent almost daily photos and videos of him, so we felt as if we were also there with him. Highly recommend.”
“We are very happy with Amber. She and her husband are very accommodating with our last minute change of schedule. They uploaded pictures of Toby everyday. He had a wonderful time exploring their backyard and sleeping cozily on the couch😀. Would definitely leave Toby with them again.”

“Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Emily did a great job looking after my skittish cat, and on very short notice. My kitty even seems to be happy to see her! Very caring and professional. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“My cat sitter that I’ve used for years was retiring and I was in panic mode to find a new sitter. My sister recommended Rover. I did 3 Meet and Greets and Jackie stood out! She was comfortable, knowledgeable, and interested in my cats, not just what she was expected to do. So glad we met. And her services were perfect. Always sent note and pics each day. I was never concerned and could enjoy my vacation. I will be rebooking for my next trip!!! Thank you Jackie ❤️”
“Saige is an excellent cat sitter! She is reliable, extremely capable of handling all tasks, and loving to all fur babies. She kept me up to date by sending multiple pictures and texting about each visit. It was so nice to travel knowing Saige was taking good care of my babies! She is friendly and very easy to talk to.”
“Hannah was kind enough to accept our request 48 hours prior to our trip. We greatly appreciated her taking on the task. Having cats herself, we knew we could trust her with our baby. She sent lots of pictures and was communicative!”
“My fur child doesnt warm up easily to many people but he likes Maria a lot and will actually play with her when I’m out of town. She’s great with him and cares for jinx so well I’ve booked her twice in a matter of weeks and will continue to do so when I need a sitter. 10/10”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of Ferguson in our home. She was very communicative and went above and beyond making sure Ferguson was happy while we were away. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Amalia (Molly) was fantastic with housesitting and watching our cat, who recently lost her other animal companions and so we don’t often leave alone anymore. Molly sent daily videos and pictures and was very helpful with the house as a winter storm came through, she offered to drip faucets, open cabinets, etc. We definitely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!”
About: Need a person who loves cats to come give them fresh food/water, clean out their cat box and give them some snuggles while you are away? I’m your person! I have had precious cats in my lifetime who have sadly passed, my family currently has two cats and I have taken care of many friends/family cats!
About: I’ve had two cats of my own, and I’m also caring for several stray cats that live around my yard. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water every day, and are well taken care of. I’ve fostered kittens before and had dogs in the past, so I’m very familiar with the extra attention they need, if they need/want it. I clean their litter boxes daily, wash their food and water bowls after every meal, and give them plenty of toys, tunnels, and activities to keep them happy and stimulated. I also spend time brushing and playing with them. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me and I genuinely enjoy every part of it.
“Zach has been caring for our cat several times now, and is by far our favorite sitter for our girl. He is kind and caring, which can really be seen in his thoughtful rover report cards. This is the kind of person you want caring for your pets, not just someone checking a box to put food down and be out the door.”
About: I’ve cared for my + others’ cats for many years. People call me a “cat whisperer” but I just think I understand their ways better than the average human :). Cats prefer to come to you on their time - I respect that. I keep things (food, water, litter, bedding) very CLEAN, which they love. I administer medication with gentle, lovingkindness and immediate treats. I give lots of pets and cuddles, as well as all of the independent time they need.
About: I have taken care of several cats with various health issues across my time as a pet owner. My first cat had diabetes when he was a senior, so that required twice a day injections to manage his insulin. Additionally I currently have a cat that has quite a few digestive issues with my fiancé, and we have figured out a game plan to manage her pain and stomach in her later years. I have taken care of many friends and families pets as well, and know the interactions between dogs and cats well.

About: I have fostered pets and cared for small dogs! I have also cared for hamsters, kittens, and elderly pets. I am happy to spend time with your pets! Hello! For new and existing clients, I would like to advise that my schedule has changed during Saturdays and Weekdays, as I have a part-time job and will be out from 8am-3pm. However, I organize pet sitting assignments based on my pet caretaking partner Micah's availability during times when I'm not available, in order to provide as much coverage as possible! Shoot me a message and we can organize and see if pet caretaking is possible during your preferred time frame! :) I make sure to keep my environment safe for pets by putting away cable cords, choking hazards, or anything else that may pose a safety risk to pets. For boarding, I have family members in the home! (Mom, grandma, and two siblings, all happy to keep an eye on pets in the home as well!) We just ask for boarding that dogs remain under 35 lbs due to fall risks and limited apartment space!
“Kristen was amazing she took great care of our tiny puppy and I got tons of updates throughout the day. Her dog was very tolerant of our pup who is still learning boundaries and they were able to have great play time. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend”

“Thanks so much for providing excellent care for our Cavapoo. We greatly appreciated the video and text message updates. Blaze is looking forward to us going out of town again so he can come back to play with Copper and Lancer. Thanks so much, William.”
“Jane is the sweetest and most attentive sitter! I feel so comfortable dropping our puppy off with her! My puppy is always SO excited when we pull up to her house which makes me happy.”
“Kate is AMAZING! Adore loves going to her daycare. Kate is also really flexible, considering I have a rotating schedule with different hours everyday. So being able to drop Adore off, especially since she has separation anxiety, gives me a peace of mind. Also the update photos and videos that Kate sends are always fun!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, varying from puppies to senior. I have cared for friends and family members fluffy babies when they go out of town including providing medications when necessary. I also worked at PetSmart in their pet area helping clean, administer food based on each dogs specific diet and report on any abnormalities (i.e not eating due to anxiety). I am drawn to animals and always strive to ensure that each pet feels comfortable in their space. I am currently a stay at home mom that is looking for ways to incorporate my love for animals into my daily life her in DFW. It is important to me to establish a connection with each pet including a meet up in a neutral space, like a park and then an in home visit to ensure each animal is comfortable and receptive of my presence in their home.

“Alexis and Sean were fantastic! They treated our dog as part of their family. They were very open and responsive. I appreciate their attention to detail. They work to understand all of the needs, and provide a very comfortable home away from home. Thanks!”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great care givers to my dogs. They kept me updated daily with photos and information. When I had a flight change, they happily extended my dogs stay by an additional evening. They were very accommodating! Jax and Saturn will be repeat guests at their home!”

“So happy I found Dori and her family! They took amazing care of my dog for the week he stayed with them, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands. I know that I will have a reliable family to take care of him in the future should I need it!”
“Van took exceptional care of my dog, Ren, while I was away on a two-week trip to Japan. Being so far from home, it gave me incredible peace of mind knowing Ren was in such caring and capable hands. Van kept me updated throughout the trip with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Ren was happy, comfortable, and well loved. When I picked Ren up, he looked healthy, relaxed, and had clearly been treated like family. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and who genuinely cares about your pet, I highly recommend Van. Thank you again for taking such great care of Ren! 🐾”
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 9 years old. I am comfortable with all animals and love to run around and play with them, as much as cuddling with them. No matter how young or old, or energetic or tame, I promise to care for your animal as if they were my own. I work full time remotely from home and am able to provide all the love, attention, walks, and potty breaks needed for your fur baby! I have a fenced patio for them to get some fresh air and watch all the squirrel, birds, and people through out the day as well! I let all the pets roam freely in the house when I am home and only have then kenneled when I am gone which is about 2 hours as most when I have practice I have to go coach! We have a fenced in balcony as well as a fenced in yard for animals to play in. There is also a great trail system for good walks.
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing! She took care of my 14 year old Pomeranian Zeus for a week and sent all the photos and videos. I could tell that Zeus was having a great time and was in such wonderful hands while I was away. Her communication was quick and friendly. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Ashley, thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our two dogs for 10 days. We loved getting the pictures and updates almost every day—it really put us at ease while we were away. The walks you took them on were wonderful (you honestly do a better job walking them than we do!). We came home to two very happy pups, and it means the world to us. We wouldn’t want anyone else watching them going forward.”

“Stephanie was great! We got pictures/videos of our pup daily and we were so happy to see he was having a good time while we were away. He was very well taken care of and came home exhausted so we know he got plenty of play time. We would highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“Rini took care of our Daisy while we were gone for a long weekend and Daisy had a wonderful time. Rini sent great photos everyday. Daisy had a fun time playing with Rini's dog and needed to nap when she got home! We definitely would love to have Daisy stay with them again. Rini was very sweet and a great host for our dog!”
“Elizabeth provided excellent care for my dogs. I was very grateful to be able to book her so close to Christmas to watch my three dogs.
