“My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Kelly! She took excellent care of shy pup Olive and was also incredibly flexible. We only had 12 hours to find a sitter after a sudden change of plans, and Kelly was so accommodating. Olive spent two nights with Kelly and her family, and it was clear at pick up that she had a great time. She would have stayed longer if we let her! Kelly was able to give Olive her medicine twice a day and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Her lab, Charlie, was such a gentleman and helped Olive feel comfortable from the get-go. Olive slept like a log when we got back home. Thank you, Kelly!”

I’d definitely book with him again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Maria and her family took such great care of Luna and Oliver, sent regular updates and pictures, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of the country. It was obvious they were well loved and cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Bethany took great care of Flash and went the extra mile to ensure he was safe, comfortable and happy! She is a real caregiver and navigated everything like a professional.”
“It was obvious that Ashley loves dogs and she loved my 2 bandits. She got to know them and their traits rather quickly. I can recommend Ashley to give the best of care and attention to anyone's pet.”
“We worked with Alexina a few times before needing to leave our pup for a week long vacation. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the care and communication was! We received many updates throughout the week and could tell our dog was relaxed and happy with Alexina and her husband. It was a great experience for our entire family!”
“We were a little apprehensive leaving our baby… but within seconds of being at the house, Koda felt at home. We loved the picture updates daily. Koda definitely loved her and his “vacation” away!! Thank you!!”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands on experience, patience, and a genuine commitment to understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide range of animals, including energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who require gentler, slower-paced care and close attention to comfort and mobility. I’m confident handling feeding routines, administering basic medications, and managing pets with anxiety or special quirks. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, create a calm environment, and communicate consistently with owners so they feel fully at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s reinforcing positive training for puppies, offering mobility support and extra patience for seniors, or giving plenty of love and playtime to pets of any age, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that feels like an extension of your own home. For all pet care needs a child will be with me at all times. Your dogs MUST be child friendly. For dog sitting requests in the home, I do not stay the night. If you are nearby to Denton, TX, I can do 3-4 visits drop by daily. Father away will be 1-2 times for a drop by visit. Please be aware before booking a house sitting request. Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I build my schedule around providing consistent attention and support. I’m used to planning my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate pets who need mid-day visits or a little extra time. Throughout the week, I make sure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, companionship, and calm downtime. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and enjoy as part of my everyday rhythm especially having 3 dogs of my own! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and training preferences exactly as given. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable! I do that by having refreshing water, tidying up food areas, and giving plenty of playtime or quiet time depending on what the pet needs. I stay attentive to their behavior and well-being. I also send regular updates so their owners feel confident and connected. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm and welcoming space that’s pet-friendly and supervised. Having three dogs of my own plus accommodating for others will be fun! I provide structured play, exercise, and rest. I make sure pets feel secure, whether that means cozy spots to relax or engaging activities to burn energy. I treat every pet like part of the family by being patient, promoting safety, and with lots of love and consistency. For all pet care needs a child will be with me at all times. Your dogs MUST be child friendly. For dog sitting requests in the home, I do not stay the night. If you are nearby to Denton, TX, I can do 3-4 visits drop by daily.

“Grace did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Ellie, today! I’m so glad I had her dogsit for me today. She gave Ellie plenty of water, play time, and potty/poop breaks- she even took some pictures and 1 video and sent it to me, as well as responded promptly when I texted her asking a question about my dog in the middle of the day. While I was at work, it made my day to see the pictures & short video. I could tell Ellie had a fun day because she was tired when I picked her up. Grace is very professional and is willing to work with my schedule, and offer me an affordable price. I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know! I will keep bringing my dog to her.”

“Terry is an awesome Rover sitter! He took care of our dog Roxie several days while we were in town from WA visiting family in Texas. He treated Roxie as if she was one of his regulars, and sent us updates each day he had her. We were able to enjoy day trips around the Denton area knowing Roxie was having her own play days at Terry's! We will definitely contact Terry again anytime we return to the area.”

“We had a great experience with Savannah! She was very communicative, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I always felt updated and knew Mocha was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring with their pets!”
“Caitlyn did very good with Oreo! It was our first time trying to see if he’d do good with a dog walker and with no fault to Caitlyn, he did not. He was shy and very scared and not a fan of the idea. However, Caitlyn tried very hard to slowly work with him and kept me updated on the experience. I found it best to just leave him be as it was just a trial run and it helped me realize it is not for him! But I am very thankful for Caitlyn’s patience and kindness towards him and would recommend her for your pet!! She really cares about the animals she is working with.”
“Hilda is great! She did a meet and great the night before! She treated my sweet girl with so much love and went above and beyond! Definitely a 10/10!! Will be calling her again for sure! 🙂”

About: I have been an animal lover for my whole life! In the past I have worked at an animal clinic as a kennel technician, caring for boarding dogs and cats.

She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and always sends quick updates after walks, which I really appreciate. It’s great knowing my dog’s in good hands when I’m busy or out for the day.

About: Hi! I'm a patient, reliable animal lover who understands that every pet has unique needs. Caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me the importance of staying calm, building trust, and paying close attention to a pet's comfort and behavior. I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away. Recently, I recently began as an opener at my job and leave around 3 pm with a day or two off during the weekday. With this schedule I’m confident we can work out a schedule for me to look after your furry babies! I believe every pet deserves patient, attentive, and loving care. In a client's home, I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. My experience caring for my family's reactive Mini Poodle has taught me to respect each dog's individual needs, body language, and boundaries.
About: My family and I currently have two pups( 13 years old + an 8 month old) who we walk daily and love on constantly. The eldest(Samson) has been spoiled and receives every meal accompanied by some sort of treat to get the process going but he is extremely friendly and well behaved. Our newest (Pepper) eats everything and wants to play always, which means we give her lots of walks and play time outside. Samson is getting older and over the years we have had to have him on medication or been very watchful if he was acting out of character or lethargic. This has trained my eyes to just be ever present when caring for pets and to always treat them as family worthy of our attention and love. I've been tasked with sporadically pet sitting my girlfriends cats and have had no issues ever. Added experience pet sitting for my friend and his many German Shepherds. Finally I work as a Personal Trainer and part time unofficial care giver to my 94 year old Grandfather, my patience is unmatched. I currently work as an independent Personal Trainer + Unofficial care giver. My schedule tends to be flexible but staying in steady communication with clients is always front of mind so as to avoid conflicting scheduling. My pets are held in a higher regard than a fair amount of people I meet. They simply mean so much to my family and I. We stress over their eating habits, exercise levels, sleep schedules etc etc. Every pet I care for receives that same family-like attention and compassion, guaranteed.
“Emma did a great job taking care of our two dogs. She sent plenty of photos and some commentary on their outing that gave me a good idea of their daily walk encounters and other things going on like the weather, the ground conditions and how successfully the dogs finished their usual business. Emma demonstrates a good knowledge of and rapport with animals and reported that even my shy dog Harper warmed up to her during their time together. The dogs were happy and well upon our return so we are pleased with Emma's service while we were away. We would happily rebook Emma for any future animal care needs.”
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs in size and breed over the years from family and friends, and had 3 of my own and a couple cats as well. We spend time with them walking and playing, providing love and care and treats and of course fun play time! I’ve had my own dogs from puppies to seniors and taught them basic skills, and took them to training for other needs. Our kids have grown up with our dogs and love them basically as their own siblings. I am home almost full time and can care for your animals 7 days a week. During the school year I work two days a week at a preschool, and will have activities to work around for my children once they start up again. However, there is availability everyday in my schedule for your needs. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door to the backyard for any boarding. We have a fenced in area for a dog specific zone for potty breaks, and open the rest of the yard for running around and exercise to keep it clean of dog mess. Working only two days a week part time will allow me to check in at your home frequently, and can find the right time and schedule around those two days hopefully. I have 2 dogs of my own that are friendly to other pets as well. They can sometimes need a minute to warm up (my Great Dane can be skiddish and defensive with smaller dogs - but will warm up, she is a big baby) and then they are incredibly playful!
“Emily (Paige) is so kind and flexible which is exactly what’s needed during this busy season. She gave both of my dogs grace during the first meet, and treated the second walk like she’s done it plenty of times prior. Taking on two medium to large dogs is not an easy task but she took on the job with grace and confidence which helped keep me at peace leaving my dogs.”
About: I have raised dogs all of my life and I am a huge animal lover. Each animal I have had have always been rescues. I strongly believe in TLC for all pets. When you're away from home I will give all the love and pets to your furry friend. I love to walk dogs as it benefits both parties. Play time is incredibly important too. Without play time a pet can become restless and bored. I thoroughly enjoy playing fetch with dogs. I am promptly on time with potty breaks, feeding time, and any walking needs. Any request great or small will be done. I currently have a 11 year old male cat I raised from a kitten so I know cat's very well also. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate any and all pet needs a client may have. I do well with a detailed potty and feeding schedule. I send updates and pictures accordingly with feeding times and follow written instructions very well. I make sure family pets are kept to a standard routine so they feel right at home.
About: I have extensive experience dog sitting for most of my neighbors as well as my friends and families dogs & animals. I strive to make each dog comfortable and provide excellent care while their owners are away. I treat each dog as if they are my own, and I will follow any special instructions that they're used to; as well as accommodate any disabilities. I have no problem giving medicine, even if it involves needles, as we had a diabetic cat growing up. I also volunteer at local PetSmarts to help get dogs adopted. I do have a full time job, but I have a set schedule and don't work past 6pm weekdays so I can be available before 8am and after 6pm weekdays. Weekends are really open for me as well. I enjoy bringing my pups with me everywhere that I can, so as long as they don't have car anxiety I can be seen riding around with a furry companion. Your dog deserves the best while you're away, so please contact me the next time you're planning a getaway!

“Julie is always amazing with our pup and we only travel if we know she’s available to keep him. We always know he’s going to be well cared for and have a great time when we are away. I recommend Julie to all of my dog mom friends, too!”
“Arya and Koda had a blast at Srini’s and Surya’s house. They are very caring and super friendly hosts. Shared a lot of photos and videos during the booking which kept us comfortable. Would definitely book with them again.”
“I left my pup with Kelli for the first time and I can say she was truly awesome. She took excellent care of him and sent daily photos and videos. Kelli will definitely be my go to person from now on!”
“Terry and his family are exceptionally caring, considerate, sweet and thoughtful hosts who go above and beyond in caring for your pet. Thank you again for your outstanding care of Ms. Roxy!”
“Piper had such a great stay with Allison and Nicholas. They sent us pictures and updates daily and she looked so happy. Thankful to have found them on Rover ❤️ !”
“My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Kelly! She took excellent care of shy pup Olive and was also incredibly flexible. We only had 12 hours to find a sitter after a sudden change of plans, and Kelly was so accommodating. Olive spent two nights with Kelly and her family, and it was clear at pick up that she had a great time. She would have stayed longer if we let her! Kelly was able to give Olive her medicine twice a day and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Her lab, Charlie, was such a gentleman and helped Olive feel comfortable from the get-go. Olive slept like a log when we got back home. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Amazing! She and her family did an incredible job taking care of our girl. She communicated very well and her and her family loved on our Myla like she was their own! We recommend them ! A very kind, respectful family! Couldn’t have asked for anything better! They were absolutely the best !”
“Christopher was great! He was willing to accept my request last minute, and Axel had a great time. He kept him walked, engaged, and updated me throughout the stay. He was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to reschedule pickup due to an unforeseen situation. On top of that, he responded to messages very quickly. I’d definitely book with him again!”
“It was obvious that Ashley loves dogs and she loved my 2 bandits. She got to know them and their traits rather quickly. I can recommend Ashley to give the best of care and attention to anyone's pet.”
“Autumn and her family were the best and we are so thankful! They took such great care of our sweet boy and sent updates every day! They were so gracious to let us come over for a meet and greet and let him get comfortable. Highly recommend and we will be back!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and our experience with Jackie and Lambert was amazing. They took time to answer questions and to get to know us and our dog. During our trip, their pup notes, photos, and videos showed us our dog was having a great time and receiving a lot of love. We will definitely put Jackie and Lambert as our first choice when we travel again!”
“Katie was amazing! This was my first time boarding my rescue, so I was very nervous. My dog is also a naturally very anxious dog, and her family and dog made him feel right at home! She sent updates everyday and it truly made me feel a lot more secure being away from my pup. He immediately came home and curled up to go to sleep, so mission accomplished! I will definitely be messaging Katie again next time I head out of town.”
“Jessica and Nathaniel were awesome! Winston had a great time and we can tell he really missed having a playmate when we got him back. We appreciate the timely updates from Jessica and their flexibility with our ever-changing schedules. We highly recommend them as rovers and would consider rebooking in the future.”
“Achilles loves going to spend time with Sruthi! He gets loads of exercise and is very content when he gets home. I really appreciate getting consistent photo and video updates of what Achilles is up to. Sruthi is always our first choice!”
“T’Anna made Onyx feel at home right when we walked in. Although it took a moment for him to warm up, she made sure he had his own space. T’Anna is very warm and I could tell she loves taking care of animals. Thank you sooo much for taking care of Onyx.”
“Leslie & Jonathan are such wonderful dog sitters. Ollie is a senior dog who doesn’t socialize with other dogs too often. But when he stays with them, he fits right into the pack. They make sure he gets his supplements and allergy meds, and take him in plenty of walks. They also do a great job sending update photos and filling me in how how things are going. I took a long overseas trip recently and felt 100% confident leaving Ollie with them.”
“Maple loved her stay with Kathryn! As a first time Rover client I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Kathryn made the booking process easy and put my mind at easy. During our time away Kathryn sent many pictures of our sweet pup having a great time with her and her family! This really helped my small children feel comfortable leaving their fur baby behind! Thank you Kathryn and family for loving on our pup! We will be sure to book with Kathryn again!”
