About: What sets me apart is the space and care I provide. I live on 2.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, play, and burn off energy. As both a lifelong dog and horse lover, I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Melissa provided during my dog’s two week overnight stay.

Chanel came back healthy and well-rested. I will 100% be booking again and highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for everything!”
“This is our first time using Mayra. We came as strangers and left as friends. She watched our 10 yo Jack Russel. Our pet requires extra care as she is diabetic.

“Sanchita, is an excellent care taker. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. My Rocko immediately felt at ease with her, and I was reassured by her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. While I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos so I knew my Rocko was happy and comfortable. She went above and beyond with walks, playtime.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and space I provide for every dog. As a full-time homemaker and dedicated dog mom, I have the time to give each guest the supervision, companionship, and affection they deserve instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two Cane Corsos, a large working breed that requires consistency, patience, and confident handling. This experience has taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, and create a calm, safe environment for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My home offers a fully fenced 2.41-acre country property, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. I also understand that not every dog enjoys group play, so I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I believe every dog is unique. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and preferences so your pet feels as close to home as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s providing a loving, trustworthy home where your furry family member is treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I’m a full-time homemaker and devoted dog mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention for every dog in my care. Each day includes supervised outdoor time on our fully fenced 2.41-acre property, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and a comfortable place to rest indoors. I also make sure every guest follows their owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. As a furry parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them patience, kindness, and personalized care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy themselves while their owners have complete peace of mind. At Country Paws Retreat, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a peaceful, loving home where every dog is treated like family.

That’s why I provide attentive, personalized care, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and affection throughout the day. I keep a close eye on every dog to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their stay. As a proud owner of two friendly Cane Corsos, I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has a unique personality. If needed, dogs can be separated during playtime or rest periods to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup is here for daycare or an extended stay, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in a clean, secure, and caring environment where they’ll receive the attention they deserve.

About: My brother first introduced cats to our family about 5 years ago, and even though we were skeptical at first because we’ve always had dogs, we immediately fell in love with cats (I have a weakness for orange cats 🤭).

I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. We were kept updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and gave each of them the attention they needed. Knowing they were in such good hands made our trip so much less stressful. We’re thrilled to have found her and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommended!”

“Samantha has taken care of our cat two times now, and each time I am more happy than the last with how well she cares for Coco. Her daily communications are excellent as she keeps me posted before and after each visit. I adore the daily pictures I receive of our cat; it's almost like still being home! Samantha is knowledgeable about cats and has given me advice concerning our cat's diet and her habits. I don't know what I would do without her! We have a few trips planned in the near future and I will use Samantha each time. She is a Five Star cat sitter!”

About: I’m an emergency veterinary technician, grew up in a farm surrounded by animals and learned at a very young age that they are my passion. Have worked with all sorts of animals throughout the years so i have a very broad knowledge for caring for your pets. Friends and family have always come to me to care, sit, walk, and tend to all their pet care needs. Although working at a veterinary clinic, I’m still available full-time for your pet care needs! I’m very flexible when it comes to you and your pets schedule so i work around you guys! I provide around the clock care when it comes to playtime, walks, and feedings! I have a large fenced yard with lots of green lush grass and a covered patio where your dog can play with my own pups. I keep my dogs indoors in a secured playpen and my cats have their own cat room away from everyone. One of my senior dogs is diabetic and receives insulin injections twice a day. I am professionally prepared and comfortable to take care of any of your pets needs. I work closely with doctors which means easy access for any on the spot care if needed or for future needs/advice! I'm currently working as a veterinary nurse some days of the week and am a college student thats fully remote. I'm actively trying to occupy my free days by helping fellow pet owners with their pet care needs 7 days a week. Growing up on a ranch and working in veterinary medicine it was kinda hard to refrain from owning so many animals. My fur babies goes as follows. I have a goat, a cockatiel, indoor cats, dogs, peacocks and cattle. Although I have help with my outdoor animals, I fully tend to all our indoor animals. Each pet has a strict diet and bathroom regime that I follow prior to my shifts and post shifts. I'm structured to say the least, especially when it comes to animals and you can expect nothing less when it comes to your pets.
About: I've taken care of animals since i was about 8. I love them all. I've had both cats and dogs so I have experience with both. I've even bottle fed and raised kittens from 1 week old. I make my own schedule for work so I am able to make time for this, whatever fits your fur babies schedule I am able to do. I love all animals so I will care for your fur babies with any instructions you give me with love and care. Treating them as I do my own. I'll always give you updates on how your fur baby is doing.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛
About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.

About: Hello my name is Amanda :) I am from Harlingen and currently attending UTRGV to major in Marine Biology. Me and my family have a six year old chihuahua named Soda who is super loved!! I decided to get Rover because I would like to earn some money to help with my school expenses & other things. I am currently 26 yrs old. I am a friendly and an easy going person. I would love and enjoy the opportunity to take care of your little fur friends and will do my absolute best of taking care of them. I love dogs and look forward to having fun with them! For dog walking & dog visit services, I am available early mornings to mid afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. I am excited to care of your pups! My dog Soda is an indoor dog but he really loves playing outside. When he wants to go outside, I walk him on his leash and playfully throw his ball for him to run, and take him to do his doggy business.

“Jessica was a great and accommodating host as we were in a rush to drop our dogs off on way to the airport and kind enough to allow a late night pick up when our return flight got in late. Our dogs seemed like they were happy and we will use her again! 🐾”
“Alina was AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter and it was a great experience! Alina sent us pictures and updates that eased my mind the entire time we were gone! Would recommend Alina and will use her again next time! A+++++++”
“This was our second stay with Aron, and we would definitely book again. He took great care of our big girls, answered questions quickly, and provided frequent updates.”
“Martie is great! This was our first experience using Rover to find boarding for our pup and we are so glad we found Martie. After our meet and greet I wasn't feeling nervous about leaving our pup in her care, and we got daily pictures of him hanging out and socializing with other dogs. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip! Thanks Martie!”
About: What sets me apart is the space and care I provide. I live on 2.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to safely explore, play, and burn off energy. As both a lifelong dog and horse lover, I’m comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences to help them feel at home. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, providing lots of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your dog loves to run, relax, or just wants extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care in a safe, country setting. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom to my toddler. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive lots of love and supervision in a calm, family-oriented environment. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love incorporating them into our daily routine! In my home, pets have plenty of room to play and explore on our property while always being supervised. I provide a clean, alm environment with lots of attention, playtime, and affction so they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the home and the pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they’re used to while keeping your home clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Melissa provided during my dog’s two week overnight stay. From the very beginning, she made me feel confident and comfortable leaving Chanel in such capable hands. Throughout the entire stay, Melissa kept me updated. Chanel came back healthy and well-rested. I will 100% be booking again and highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Alicia is very friendly and cares very much about animals. She is flexible and willing to work with you If you are in a pinch or last minute situation! Very satisfied with my Pet’s stay with her! Would definitely send him back to her!”
“Sanchita, is an excellent care taker. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. My Rocko immediately felt at ease with her, and I was reassured by her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. While I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos so I knew my Rocko was happy and comfortable. She went above and beyond with walks, playtime. My Rocko returned home calm and content, which says everything about the quality of care provided. I will absolutely book with her again she’s the best.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and space I provide for every dog. As a full-time homemaker and dedicated dog mom, I have the time to give each guest the supervision, companionship, and affection they deserve instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two Cane Corsos, a large working breed that requires consistency, patience, and confident handling. This experience has taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, and create a calm, safe environment for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My home offers a fully fenced 2.41-acre country property, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. I also understand that not every dog enjoys group play, so I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I believe every dog is unique. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and preferences so your pet feels as close to home as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s providing a loving, trustworthy home where your furry family member is treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I’m a full-time homemaker and devoted dog mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention for every dog in my care. Each day includes supervised outdoor time on our fully fenced 2.41-acre property, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and a comfortable place to rest indoors. I also make sure every guest follows their owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. As a furry parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them patience, kindness, and personalized care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy themselves while their owners have complete peace of mind. At Country Paws Retreat, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a peaceful, loving home where every dog is treated like family. My 2.41-acre fully fenced property offers plenty of secure space to run, play, explore, and relax in a safe country setting. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new takes trust. That’s why I provide attentive, personalized care, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and affection throughout the day. I keep a close eye on every dog to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their stay. As a proud owner of two friendly Cane Corsos, I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has a unique personality. If needed, dogs can be separated during playtime or rest periods to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup is here for daycare or an extended stay, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in a clean, secure, and caring environment where they’ll receive the attention they deserve. My goal is for every guest to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back!
“April was communicative and sent daily photo updates! She has a fenced in yard and her corgi is very adorable and got along well with our pup. Would use April for dog boarding again!”
“Sophia and Frank took excellent care of two kittens on short notice. They provided consistent updates and were extremely kind throughout the kitten's time there. Your pet would be in excellent hands with this lovely family!”
“Brittany and Amber were terrific! They are close to BRO, so super convenient for drop offs, and they have enough room to keep visiting dogs separated from theirs (mine were pissy.). Brittany sent pictures and videos consistently and my Walter and Lilo got lots of attention and love. Came home 12 days later to happy puppers! Would use Brittany again in a heartbeat.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for and walked all types of dogs, from small breeds to large dogs up to 80 pounds, old and young. Friends, family and neighbors trust me because I have a calm, caring energy that dogs naturally respond to. I’m dependable, loving and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently retired and home most of the time, so your pet will receive lots of attention, affection and frequent walks. I truly treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I live in an apartment, so walks and outdoor breaks are frequent. When house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent.
“I had a great experience with Claudia through Rover! She communicated really well and kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog, Cecil. I was a little worried leaving him since he’s an older dog, but her experience with senior pets made me feel so much more comfortable. I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Samantha's super professional and kind. This was my first time leaving my pups with someone I don't personally know, and she sent me pictures and updates which made me feel much more comfortable. I was out of state fot a few days, and had a flight change on my way back, which made me late to pick them up. She was understanding, and even groomed them before I picked them up. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats new born to senior. I have taking care of animals for over 5 years and enjoy every second of it! I am able to care for those with special needs and promise to take care of every pet with care and respect! (And make sure they have a lot of fun!!) I currently work very part time only on weekends in the evening. I am not in school so I have an open availability! I also wake up early and enjoy going on walks! I will always be around them and make sure they have a fun time with me while we are together. As well as constantly making sure they have plenty of water and food, as well as keeping multiple stations for using the restroom. For cats I have multiple litter boxes, I have puppy pads for little dogs and a big fenced backyard for bigger ones!
