Personalized care for your dog or cat - South Padre Island

“We are completely satisfied with the care that Margo gave our precious pet Whiskey. From the moment we dropped her off, my anxiety was put at ease. Whiskey didn’t skip a beat and even forgot to send me off 😅. I was always kept up to date about her well being and pick up was a breeze. Thank you Margot E. ❤️”

Deborah Mcguffin G.

“We couldn’t be happier! They took such wonderful care of dogs while we were away. Getting daily picture updates brought us so much peace of mind, and their communication was always prompt and friendly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐾🐾”

Jessica J.

“Cookie our puppy, had a great time at Jessica’s house for over 2 weeks. He got a lot of exercise and we were sent photos every day. He was well cared for! Thank you Jessica.”

Bryan N.

“We are huge fans of Bo! Our dog Teddy is so happy and well taken care of when we pick him up! Bo always sends tons of pictures and updates that we absolutely love. Will definitely book again!”

Rebecca S.

“Alicia is absolutely amazing! This is the first time that I have used Rover and I am so glad that I did. Alicia met me very early in the morning to accommodate my work schedule and was so nice when I was running late to pick up my Max. She did so well with him and I could tell that he really liked her when I picked him up. I was nervous about leaving him since we are still working on his socialization but she said he did so well. I will definitely book with her again when she is available. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you so much!!”

Erin W.

“Arecelis came home very happy and made several new friends.”

Arecelis A.

“THEY WERE SO AMAZING. Sent lot's of updates, photos, and videos. Even accommodated the fact that my flight was delayed causing me to miss my connection and was stuck in ATL overnight. Their dog is so playful and friendly which made my dog have the time of his life. They took amazing care of my dog and provided him with all his vitamins and any of his special needs were well monitored.”

Bethany B.

“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.”

LeeAnne H.

“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!”

Kaylie L.

“Jordan did an excellent job taking care of our bulldog! Jordan administered medication and kept us in the loop with frequent updates. We would trust our dog with Jordan again!”

Gianna F.

“Amazing sitter. Took in my kitty last minute and cared for her. She was on time, reliable, and sent me picture updates. Kiki was also very happy when I went to pick her up. I will definitely be recommending her.”

Oscar O.

“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”

About: My wife and I love caring for pets together. I've been around animals my entire life, literally. I have worked at an animal hospital , and I also worked at a local animal shelter. So with that being said, I am very familiar with caring for pets medically. I have assisted with surgical procedures, bathing, walking, feeding, administering injections and medications, and caring for sick animal and post surgical care. I have toys for them to play with. I am pretty active, so pets will get a lot of exercise. I can teach basic commands to dogs. I am very patient and loving towards animals, so I assure you they will be in great care. I love to cuddle and pets are more than welcomed on my bed! We’re more than glad to take care of pets for anyone that needs it. I work part time at an animal clinic, but I am flexible on my days off! :) I’d love to see and care for your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs for your pet to play with. I can crate your pet if it’s needed at any point.

“Alexis was such a great sitter. She offered to come meet my crew before the appointed time which I really appreciated. She arrived early for the sit and sent photos. My doggos were tired when we got back so I know they had a good time! Thanks Alexis!!”

Leanne P.

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. 🐾💛
