About: I live in Whitehouse with my husband Casey and our 2 little dogs Parker and Wally. We both work from home full time, which leaves us with plenty of availability to have dog friends come stay with us! We go walking regularly, have a secure yard, and our house is very dog friendly. Both my husband and I work from home full time, so we are home all day long. We are able to accommodate regular potty breaks in our large fenced backyard, and typically do walks in the morning or evening. I have lived in Whitehouse my entire life and am very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. I am very careful with my own dog (never unleashed, supervised backyard time) and will do the same with others pets. We treat our dogs and other dogs like family, ensuring the dogs are comfortable and safe when at our home.

“This was our 1st time using Rover and we had a wonderful experience :] My animals were not only cared for but loved on as well. They all loved Angelica and were very excited to see her each day. We were given updates and lots of pictures each day. One of our waterers broke and she went and got us a new one. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. We definitely want to use Angelica's services in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

“Shelby is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of our furry girl. We had a great first impression when we met her. Amora is usually shy and doesn’t interact much, but I was surprised when I heard that she was playing with Shelby’s kids. I’m so glad that Amora’s first experience went smoothly. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Now that I have my own home, our pets are truly our babies. I love going on daily walks, having dedicated playtime, and giving all the attention, snuggles, and care they need. Every pet that stays with me is treated like family—safe, loved, and spoiled just like our own! As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time throughout the day to watch over your pup, play with them, and make sure they’re getting constant love and attention. You can trust me with your pup. I provide a cozy guest room for their stay and a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and potty breaks. Every pet in our home is treated like family and receives lots of love and attention.

“My Son and I were traveling for work in the Tyler Texas area when we noticed that we needed some new tires for the car, and since it was cold and rainy on this New Years Eve we had to leave the car at Walmart and we had no place to go with the dog since Walmart refused to work on the car with Rollie in it. Luckily I found Wendy on the first try for such a short notice and she happily agreed to watch after Rollie for a few hours until the car was completed. We are so glad and Thankful for her kindness at such a critical time.”

I am currently working at Walmart but have time before and after shifts and have days off regularly to come see and take care of your babies. I unfortunately cannot have pets in my home more than my dog. Due to the fact I rent. I always am okay with going to a clients home.

About: I have always owned pets, however over the past few years I have began taking care of other peoples animals as well. I love all different sizes and breeds. I am excited to help care for your pets while you are away and I promise to love them they are my own. ❤️ I’m currently working part time at Texas Roadhouse in Tyler, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule as I am also taking online classes at Tyler Junior College.

About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.

About: I absolutely love dogs, and I have owned and loved many throughout my life. I currently have a German Shepard corgi mix and a Welsh Corgi! I’m very patient, friendly, and willing to work with all dog and owner’s needs. I am currently in college so I will have plenty of time to love and get to know your pups throughout the day! While caring for your pets, I always ensure they are well kept, fed on time, and get plenty of love and attention. I always make sure to follow pet owner’s requests because I know that these puppies are loved and treated like our own children. I have a very open schedule daily which gives me plenty of time to ensure your pet is well taken care of and shown plenty of love while you are away. It can be a stressful time for them, so being there to comfort and calm their nerves is a top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I always like to set a meet time to get to know your pups beforehand in their territory and learn how things are done daily. Keeping the routine as close to normal as possible will help your pets stay as comfortable as they can while their favorite person/people is/are away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, extended care, or overnight attention, I’m committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines. I believe in building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your home. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

“This was my first time leaving my pups for the weekend and Shelby made me feel so comfortable. She kept me updated on how my dogs were doing the whole time! She was great with them and will definitely book her again ?”
