“Amazing sitter—would definitely book again! She took our dogs last minute and was very accommodating with a late drop-off. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which we really appreciated.

She’s attentive to how the canines under her care are doing and will let you know if she noticed anything during the stay.

Thanks again, and we really appreciate how well you took care of Winter.”

“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”

Thank you Lorena!! 🙏🏻 I know my puppy is a lot and you were so kind to her 🥰”

“Above and beyond! Christopher took a very last minute booking for two of our pups. Grandpa Larry has some mobility issues and Christopher lives on the 4th floor of an apartment. I was worried it would be too much for him, but he’s an earth angel. Handled every obstacle with a positive spirit and my kiddos left feeling happy, loved, and clean. Would recommend for any circumstance!”

“This was Shaggy’s first day of doggy daycare, so I was understandably a little anxious. Alexis was wonderful from start to finish. She took the time to answer my questions, helped me feel comfortable, and treated Shaggy with kindness and care throughout the day. I really appreciated the updates and photos, and it was clear that she was attentive to his needs and focused on making sure he had a positive experience. Shaggy came home happy, and I came away feeling very confident in Alexis’s care. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and would happily book with her again.”

I highly recommend Jennafer — 10/10 whether you need a quick last-minute sitter or regular Monday through Friday care. Gary came home happy, clean, and well cared for!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for animals of all shapes, sizes, types and breeds. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or loving care while you’re away, I’m here to help! I provide reliable, caring, and personalized attention to make sure your furry friend feel and are safe and happy. Pet Owner Pet & WildLife Rescuer Volunteer Foster Addition references included in photos. I Love All “My” Doggies 🐶 & Kitties 🐱!! 🥰 I also have experience with bunnies, birds, aquatics, and reptiles. I have a flexible schedule and am home often with the exception of errands, appointments or other Rover (and non~Rover side jobs), throughout the day and week. Any exceptions to my availability is regularly updated on my Rover calendar. House/pet sitting; I am available to discuss this option, but as a pet parent, can be challenging to accept but I definitely will work with you on the details, to make sure everybody’s taken care of in a timely manner, ie potty breaks. I have done pet care in my home along with overnight stays at client’s homes. I have also done dog/puppy and kitten fostering for local area shelters since 2019, as well as on my own, rescuing countless pets and reuniting lost pets with their owners, for decades. I treat all animals the same way I would want mine treated. Your beloved pet becomes THE VIPet, in my home. My pets are fully vaccinated and on monthly flea and tick preventative. I am relatively new to Rover as a pet care provider. True to my nature and love for animals I fall in love and care for each, and every one, I care for in and outside of my home. For dog walking services: Summertime: I prefer before 11 AM or after 7 PM, to avoid excessive overheating of your pet and the ground and when there is normally shade throughout the typical neighborhood in which they can be walked.
About: Hey yall! My name is Dorothy and I'm a Florida transplant enjoying my time exploring Texas! I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets, including fostering animals in need. At home, I have a sweet cat named Cairo and an energetic puppy named Pharaoh, who loves making new friends. I treat every pet as if they're my own, providing lots of love, playtime, and attention. Whether your furry family member needs care, cuddles, or a playmate, I'm here to help and make them feel at home! I've decided to take pet sitting on as I'm saving up to go back to school this year! After losing my mom to cancer back in April 25, I've found myself reignited to go back to school and complete the nursing program. I'd love to reach my goals in my favorite way, being surrounded by loving furry babies who I can pour attention and love into. Excited to work with you 💕🥰 Looking forward to meeting your pets! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your sweet babies 🤍 They'll get plenty of walks and potty breaks! I make dog park runs twice a day as there is a park right next to my home. My community has a dog park, walking trail 6 mins away, and I have a fenced in porch area to hang out outside when the weather is nice! I don't have any kids and my home is kept clean so no chances of your babies eating something or getting hurt 🤍

“We were very relieved that Andrea accepted our last minute booking for our three fur babies during our travels! She picked them all up, fed them, and gave them play time. She sent photos & videos which was an added bonus! Highly recommended!”

“Andres was awesome and very polite! Excellent communication with both Ryan and Andres, showed up right on time and was great with my very energetic Husky and was able to tire him out enough for him to relax in his kennel for a couple of hrs until I returned home. He took the cutest pictures of him too while on their walk, which I appreciate so much. 🥹 I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with him and hoping to be able to book w him again!”
“Eric was quick to reply and genuinely cared about making my dog’s day. He took my Dalmatian on a nice long walk and also played with him in the backyard on both days I booked. Eric was great about keeping me in the loop and making me feel included while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. He’s an awesome person, clearly loves what he does, and I’ll absolutely be rebooking with Eric.”
About: When I was little we always had dogs in our home. My parents showed me how to take care of them as if they were oir babies. My most loving memories are with our dogs throughout the years. In the last 8 yars I have helped friends take care of their little ones when they have to travel or work long hours and I have loved it. My furry friends have brought very happy moments and days to my life and i find a lot of joy in caring for them. I work at a foster care agency and i have brought some of the dogs to work and seeing how they make other people's days by running around and playing with them makes my day. I'm currently working from home and have availability throughout the day to go out for walks. I myself walk my own dog during my breaks. I currently live in an apartment and work from home. I am able to watch my dog and visiting furry friends while being at home.
“Wonderful dog walker — my pup’s absolute favorite! My pup loves her so much! In fact he eagerly waits by the door every day for her. She shows up on time with great energy, genuine care, and a consistently positive attitude. Even my neighbors have commented on how fantastic she is with my pup during their walks. Truly reliable, trustworthy, kind, and a bright spot in my dog’s routine. The pics prove he is happy! Highly recommend.”
About: From Chihuahuas to Great Danes and any pets in between.. I know how hard it can be to be separated from our fur babies, I love giving pets the exercise they need & deserve while doing it with love! I have tons of experience most breeds mostly from doing my own rescue. As well as medication administration due to my own pet having diabetes as well as owning & rescuing several of my own! I have opened my schedule up for walks, vet visits, hikes and more! Since I have young pups of my own I love to enjoy the outdoors weather permitting! I do have a six foot privacy fence, with lots of space for pets to run and play! I also have friendly dogs who love company, or can be separated as well ☺️.

On top of my personal experience, I have also been a dog sitter for dogs with anxiety which required special attention. I am passionate about making sure every pet feels loved and well-cared for. I'm currently working part-time and a full time biomedical college student, but will always make time for your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends at a time we can agree on! I like to keep a calm environment so that your pets feel comfortable. I will always make sure your pups are safe, feel cared for, and not put in any harms way! :)

“Snehal was so gracious taking my needy kiddo. She welcomed Lila with open arms. Daily Snehal sent many videos and pictures with many updates. Knowing that your kiddo is being cared for like one of her was the most comforting gesture while we were on vacation. Snehal even sacrificed her sleep so she could let my kiddo out every few hours. I would absolutely let her and her family care for Lila again to be back with Lila’s other “family.””
“Excellent service! I plan to use Dave again for future trips for sure. He seems very knowledgeable about dog behavior. My dog has behaviors sometimes around other dogs so I really wanted someone trustworthy who could manage this behavior and Dave was a perfect fit. I also love that he has cameras in the home to watch the dogs if he ever leaves. I know my fur baby was safe while I was away.”
“Yvonne did a wonderful job taking care of my pup! He had so much fun and came back home super excited and wagging. She kept me updated daily and took so many pictures and videos for me to see!”
“Wonderful experience with a seasoned sitter. Mollie was introduced to me by Rover and lives nearby. It was great to work with her and she had a great demeanor with my dog.

“The sweetest care givers for our little one. Always makes us feel like they love Dolly as much as we do:) When we leave Dolly with them it is like leaving her with family ❤️”
“Robin is amazing! My fur babies are returns to her, butthis time one was under the weather. She gave him his medicines and kept him on his diet during his stay. We received pictures and updates during their stay as well, and even after communication is great. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely be coming back.”
“Cooper seemed to enjoy his stay and was excited to go home. I only received one photo during his entire stay and would have appreciated more. However, on the one I received he looked comfortable being in the yard soaking up the sun. I hope he didn’t give her a hard time. Thank you Amber for your patience with him.”
“Alana was super sweet and took great care of our Riley Roo!! She communicated with us in the morning and evening with cute pics of our pup and was very accommodating to our wishes. It’s clear she’s a dog lover through and through. Highly recommend her :)”
“Grey and his partner were wonderful. My dog was well cared for and loved, and I already booked her next visit with them. My dog doesn't need special accommodations, but they were prepared for extra time, yard time (she loved that), sleep on furniture, etc. They also communicated well for meet/greet, drop off, pick up, and the times they were in the house - with pictures. My pup is heading back for my next out of town trip, because she liked staying there.”
“Lisa was very warm and everyday I received a photo of my cat that would make my day. I highly recommend Lisa & Brandon to dog and cat owners that want their pets to be in a caring home during an out of town event.”
