“Karen is amazing. I was in town for a funeral and had never left my seven month old Rottweiler with anyone before, she worked around my schedule on very short notice and put my nerves at ease right away when I saw how quickly Zar warmed up to her. I highly recommend Karen and will definitely use her in the future.”
“She is fantastic and Lew , had like a vacation time. I will recommend Rebecca to everyone who wants to be sure that his dog is going to enjoy and feel loved. Thanks Rebecca.”
“Hannah completely enjoyed her stay with Tisha & Wayne! We went to meet them prior to her visit, and I was very happy seeing how comfortable my dog was with Tisha, Wayne, and her dogs. Tisha sent video of Hannah playing and lots of pictures during her stay. It was obvious Hannah was having lots of fun on her own vacation! Completely put me at ease with leaving her with a new caregiver! We’ll definitely be using Tisha again in the future, so Hannah can spend more time with her new Schnauzer friends!”
“Samantha & River are awesome! They did a great job taking care of Willow. I was happy that she was glad to see me but also knew when she whined as we drove away that she had had a great time playing with new friends & had been comfortable there. Thank you!”
“Lesley gave 5 star treatment to my 7 month old puppy, Skipper for an in-home stay. At first I wasn’t sure about leaving little Skipper with all her big dogs, but she suggested an initial meet and greet and it was apparent that Skipper would become part of the “gang.” Lesley even got Skipper to eat regular dog food! Skipper was well taken care of and will be visiting his new friends for drop in visits. Thank you Lesley!!!!!!”
“Delelah watched my Lab, Fletcher, for the day while we went to the aquarium on our way to Port A. Communication was prompt and clear, and Fletcher was happy! Thank you!”
“Reagan did such a great job, you can tell she is passionate about dogs!!! Our dogs had so much fun! We would recommend Reagan to anyone who wants there dogs to be safe, happy, and well taken care of. We will definitely use Reagan again in the future!”
“Cindy did great with my pup! No issues! Cindy accepted for a last minute trip and had my dog for 5 days. Cindy sent pictures and checked in throughout the trip. My dog was returned clean and happy :)”
“Paige was amazing with my dog, Winston! She treated him just like her other dogs and he became part of the pack. I highly recommend her if you need a sitter! I will be using her again!”
“I could not have been more impressed with Tamara! Ella went to her immediately without any hesitation and seemed happy as could be when I picked her up! Day 2 didn’t end up working out because there was zero phone or internet service on the island all day long so we had no way of communicating with each other! I will 100% be using Tamara and Wilfredo again next time we’re back!”
“Judith did a wonderful job caring for our Maxx. She sent us a picture and videos during his stay. When we returned for pickup, she gave me updates of his eating habits. I will definitely be using her again as a sitter. I felt my Maxx was safe and well taken care of while in her care.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience on Rover for both dogs and cats in Waco, I recently moved to Corpus Christi.. I currently have a small Yorkie of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. Aside from occasional college classes beginning soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a calm environment where they can feel secure. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will be treated like part of my own family.
“Molly had the best time with Kenna and her family. Photos & videos were sent during her visit to humor me and satisfy the interaction Molly was having with everyone during her stay.”
“Anahi did a fantastic job! My pup is only 8 months old with big puppy energy. Anahi allowed him to play in the sprinkler, took him on walks, and I believe he even went for a run. Great work, Anahi! We will book again.”
“Manuel did an amazing job boarding my two-year old husky! He was thorough in his communication and adherence to her schedule and she made a great transition because of it. I could not have asked for a better boarding experience via Rover.”
About: Create connection with dogs them flows naturally. I understand them and I now how to communicate with them. Every day is an opportunity to live in the present. Pet care is a mouse in my life every morning. I walk my dogs for about 40 minutes, and after 15 minutes, I feed them. They always have freshwater, comfortable beds, and toys to play with. Every night we lie on the couch to watch a movie and before sleeping each gets a kiss. I walk and feed my dogs twice a day. I also bike my husky every other day to keep him happy. They get showers every three weeks and check by the vet every year.
“This was my first time leaving Duke with someone and I was really worried he would not do well. We had gone on a meet and greet 2 days before and Duke got along well with Melinda and her 2 dogs but I was still apprehensive. When it came time to drop him off he jumped right out of the car and ran up to Melinda and her husband without hesitation and went right in the house ! Melinda kept me informed with pictures of Duke having a great time and I have to say Duke misses his new friends. I would highly recommend Melinda anytime and will definitely take more trips now that I know he will be well cared for and loved. Dr Dan”

“Rayne was able to show my cat Luna lots of love while we were out of town. Luna is normally shy, but she actually felt safe enough during Rayne's drop in visit to come out of hiding and ask for pets. I highly recommend Rayne she has a way with kitty cats”
“I simply cannot rate Tisha more highly. I'd leave 10 starts if I could. She was kind, communicative, timely, sent daily notes and photos, etc. Tisha made me feel so comfortable leaving my kitty while I was on vacation. I will happily have Tisha kitty sit again. Thank you!”
About: Cats have always been special to me. They are so misunderstood & always looked over and I know cat sitters hold a very important role. I grew up with cats and I'm now lucky enough to have one of own who I deeply love. I would love to provide trust worthy care to your kitties
About: I’ve had cats ever since I was a little girl. There has always been cats (and dogs) in my home. I enjoy tending to and getting to know any sort of cat and am no stranger to the extra sassy ones. I’m the girl that gets excited anytime I see a cat out and about. As a cat mom myself i will treat your baby just as I treat my boy. Spoiled and loved. Please inform me of any extra needs or quirks your cat may have so i can make sure he/she is well taken care of. I look forward to meeting him/her!
“The sitter was very welcoming upon arrival. Offered me a tour of the home. Sent lots of videos and photos and constantly kept me in the loop. My Mochi boy was taken well care of and I would do it again.”
About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.

I am currently open, and will build and update my availability as I find more work! I will ask you questions and take notes for everything you want me to do for your animals to ensure they are cared for the way you care for them. I pay close attention to animal behavior, and will notify you immediatly if I notice something wrong. I will also send updates/pictures/videos during the time I spend with your pets, if desired!

About: I have been in love with animals since I was a baby. I grew up in a dog loving household. I have always had pets as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, turtles, mice, fish, hermit crabs. My goal is to one day have a goat and a pig as well. I worked in a pet store that wolf puppies for 3 years and my primary job there was to take care of the puppies and to teach the perspective new families to potty train their new babies and what to expect for their specific breeds. I have also helped my parents train all of their dogs and sit for them when on vacation. It’s a full house but I love it. I currently work but have time in the afternoons and weekends to walk or check on your fur babies and let them go outside and play or just stretch their legs out of the kennel, whatever the needs may be. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play and a very friendly playful golden doodle that loves new friends. He gets along with all sizes and ages of dogs. My families dogs range from 3 lb yorkie to 90 lb golden doodle and a few in between. My baby is in his bedroom (kennel) when we are not home, one of my parents dogs does not require a kennel when we are not there so I do not require it as long as they are potty trained and do not chew.

Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.

Completely put me at ease with leaving her with a new caregiver! We’ll definitely be using Tisha again in the future, so Hannah can spend more time with her new Schnauzer friends!”
“Samantha & River are awesome! They did a great job taking care of Willow. I was happy that she was glad to see me but also knew when she whined as we drove away that she had had a great time playing with new friends & had been comfortable there. Thank you!”
“Delelah watched my Lab, Fletcher, for the day while we went to the aquarium on our way to Port A. Communication was prompt and clear, and Fletcher was happy! Thank you!”
“Cindy did great with my pup! No issues! Cindy accepted for a last minute trip and had my dog for 5 days. Cindy sent pictures and checked in throughout the trip. My dog was returned clean and happy :)”
“Paige was amazing with my dog, Winston! She treated him just like her other dogs and he became part of the pack. I highly recommend her if you need a sitter! I will be using her again!”
“I could not have been more impressed with Tamara! Ella went to her immediately without any hesitation and seemed happy as could be when I picked her up! Day 2 didn’t end up working out because there was zero phone or internet service on the island all day long so we had no way of communicating with each other! I will 100% be using Tamara and Wilfredo again next time we’re back!”
“Stephanie was great! This was my first time leaving my dog to someone other than my trainer and I was nervous. She was so kind and kept me well updated with messages and pictures. My dog is high energy and can be quite a bit to handle but she did wonderful meeting all his needs!”
“Molly had the best time with Kenna and her family. Photos & videos were sent during her visit to humor me and satisfy the interaction Molly was having with everyone during her stay.”
“Anahi did a fantastic job! My pup is only 8 months old with big puppy energy. Anahi allowed him to play in the sprinkler, took him on walks, and I believe he even went for a run. Great work, Anahi! We will book again.”
“Morgan was the best with my dog champ. She took pictures each day and kept me posted. Took my dog for walks each day as well.You can tell she loves dogs. Nothing to worry about when she taking care of your dog!”
About: Create connection with dogs them flows naturally. I understand them and I now how to communicate with them. Every day is an opportunity to live in the present. Pet care is a mouse in my life every morning. I walk my dogs for about 40 minutes, and after 15 minutes, I feed them. They always have freshwater, comfortable beds, and toys to play with. Every night we lie on the couch to watch a movie and before sleeping each gets a kiss. I walk and feed my dogs twice a day. I also bike my husky every other day to keep him happy. They get showers every three weeks and check by the vet every year.
“Jasmine was amazing with our chiki girl! She absolutely spoiled her rotten and gave her the best princess treatment possible. She sent so many update photos of our girl absolutely enjoying herself all loafed up and even comforted her during a scary thunderstorm. We are so happy with how our baby was treated by Jasmine and hope to book her again when needed !”
“This was my first time leaving Duke with someone and I was really worried he would not do well. We had gone on a meet and greet 2 days before and Duke got along well with Melinda and her 2 dogs but I was still apprehensive. When it came time to drop him off he jumped right out of the car and ran up to Melinda and her husband without hesitation and went right in the house ! Melinda kept me informed with pictures of Duke having a great time and I have to say Duke misses his new friends. I would highly recommend Melinda anytime and will definitely take more trips now that I know he will be well cared for and loved. Dr Dan”
“Excellent! I highly recommend. She genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. Even my dog knows, I have a dog with anxiety and he took to her right from the start. I will use her again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I am a full-time college student during the fall and spring semesters and also work evening shifts at a local gym. Because of this, I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available for morning, midday, and weekend visits depending on my class and work schedule. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and will always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and ensure your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household rules. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care.
About: I’ve been raised taking care of all types of animals and have grown up around pit bulls to chihuahuas and love to take care of them all wether u have to play with them, feed, bathe etc. Pet care fits into my schedule because depending on the day I have free hours where I would be more than happy to watch over a pet or walk them. I am planning on becoming a veterinarian and have always loved animals. Since I am away at college I don’t have one and would love to help out on the side. In my home, pets get a cozy, loving space with lots of cuddles. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything familiar for your pet—same feeding schedule, same walk route, same toys. I also send plenty of updates and pictures!
