I look forward to doing the same for yours 😊 I work from home during the week with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to care for pets during the day - whether it’s for a walk, a check-in for a potty break, or even just for some cuddles and play. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, which means I’m happy to follow whatever routine it is that you have set.

“Nicole was a life saver! We had an opportunity to travel to Houston, but were concerned about how to get our two kitties attended to - Nicole to the rescue! She stopped by daily and fed/watered and took care of the litter box and got to play with one of our cats - the other was too elusive for her to interact with, but we know both were well cared for! We will definitely call Nicole the next time a travel opportunity comes up!”

“Bridget and Lou babysat my boxer and I was so scared as I have never sent my baby to a sitter before. We got to there house and Lou came out and greeted us and right away Diva took to him and I felt a little at eased. After I left I didn't even get to the bottom of the hill and I received a picture of my girl sniffing around the house, That made me feel a lot better. I told Lou I was very scared for leaving her and he assured me that she would be alright and I can call and he would be sending picture all throughout the day as he kept his word. I was able to see how my girl was doing and that made me feel 100% better. I will definitely be bringing Diva back when I need a pup sitter again. Thank you Lou and Bridget you guys are great 👍 👌 ❤️”
“Nicole has been wonderful! She was quick to respond to our inquiry and welcomed us in her home for a meet and greet. She is great with my 9 week old German Shepherd puppy and Stella runs up and kisses her at drop off after one day. Having Nicole has taken so much stress off me while working and having a puppy. Stella is getting plenty of socialization and I know she is in good hands while I'm in the office. Nicole has also been super flexible with day changes, etc. She also sent home the cutest hand made report card for Stella's first week. Her passion for animals is instantly notable.Highly recommend!”

“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
“Marshelle is wonderful! Tobin, our Newfie/Pyrenees mix, is a good-natured fellow but a dog that large just makes a pretty big impact. We needed to clean and re-grout our kitchen floor and there was no way that was going to happen with Tobin underfoot. Marshelle watched him for the day and it was a win-win: I got a fresh, new floor and Tobin came home tired and happy. We will definitely use Marshelle again in the future!”

About: I grew up with a Pomeranian and cared for him through his senior years, so I know the extra patience and gentleness older pets need. I also raised my brother’s kitten to adulthood and have dog sat for relatives and cat sat for friends and coworkers, from playful puppies to shy kitties. What sets me apart is that pets have never been a side interest for me. Pets have been a part of my daily life since childhood, and I treat every animal like my own! As a student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits in naturally rather than being squeezed in around a rigid 9-to-5. I can build feeding, walks, and playtime into my day without rushing, and I have the free time to give each pet real attention, not just a quick check-in. That flexibility also means I can adjust to a pet’s routine instead of asking them to adjust to mine. I only provide care in the client’s home, since I think pets do best staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual smells, sounds, and routine instead of the stress of a new space. When I’m there, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure to spend real one-on-one time with them, not just handle the basics. I also keep an eye on anything that seems off whether it’s their appetite, energy, or behavior so I can flag it to the owner right away.

About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.
About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.
About: I love dogs and am looking to spend my free time playing with wonderful pups. Dogs are the joy of my life:). I believe that pups can teach me a lot about the simple pleasures in life. I am always spoiling pups that I meet with love and attentions that fulfills me and is appreciated by the pups themselves. I enjoy taking time out of my day to make pups feel loved, well-cared-for, and happy. I share a Shiba Inu with my friend Honza who I love more than anything. He has taught me how to be patient and kind when teaching dogs to interact positively with their surroundings. I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

“It mean so much knowing our dog is somewhere where he is loved and taken care of. Sherri takes care of our dog as well as we would and her communication is awesome. Lots of pictures and stories!”
“April so kind and caring when it came to my pup! I had to find care last minute, which caused a lot of stress for me. She soothed all my doubts and make sure my girl had a great stay. April is definitely somebody that I will book with for future boarding needs! :)”
“Rachel took great care of our Ruby while we were away. She kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pics of her during her stay. She looked genuinely happy. We will definitely bring Ruby there again in the future.”
“I am so very happy with Kayla and her Iris. They took such good care of Hotrod. I even get to come inside and in fenced backyard to see them play. Hotrod thinks its his second home now. He is so happy there. He has started acting like a puppy here again and we cant be happier. He starts crying a block away--he KNOWS where we are going!!! He runs right to the dog so happy. He runs in the house and is so excited. I try to come when kids are asleep on sleep overs because he is SOOOO happy and LOUD. HAHAHAHA”
“Samantha took great care of my dog, Sky. I was a bit nervous about overnight boarding since it was our first time, but she made the experience completely stress-free. Sky was well cared for, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. I would definitely book with Samantha again!”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“Kimberly took great care of our Louie girl. Kimberly sent us photos each day we were gone. She also was able to pick up and drop off which was very convenient for us. Would rebook with her for sure!”
“Bridget and her hubby took great care of my pup Xena. I felt very comfortable leaving her with them and knew she was in good hands. She sent photos every day with little updates and it was nice to see my pup having a good time. We will definitely be reaching out to them next time!”
“Chingri loved staying with David and became best friends with an Aussie. David took great care of Chingri and never let her feel bored. He also sent great pictures of her that kept us reassured during our vacation.”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Katie is amazing! I have used Rover for years, and she is truly above and beyond. She's very intelligent, love animals, knows how to treat them and what they need, is calm and effective and reassuring and loving with my dogs. And they feel it. I really can't rate her highly enough. I can't say that after years of leaving various dogs for boarding in homes, her Home and her Care were above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. This is the first time I have left my rescue pups, one of them, blind, in a boarding home for several days. And it's truly the first time in all those years that I have not been anxious and worried about how my pups were doing. That is a level of trust and confidence I place in this woman. Thank you, katie! And thank you so much to your beautiful daughter for helping out and giving my pups lots of love Suzanne”
“Thank you, Linda for taking such great care of Mugsy! You made us feel as though you treated him as your own which allowed us to be at peace during our vacation. We loved all the daily photos & notes! We will definitely entrust Mugsy to you again! We highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Kris was a great pet sitter! Our pups Summit and Lilo loved their stay so much!! They were very responsive and we got picture updates everyday. They made our trip to Mexico a breeze! We would recommend them 1000%!”
“Another great stay with Monica! Great communication, lots of fun photos. Reassuring to know our dog is having a fun and safe time while we are away! Thanks again Monica!”
“Sheena and her family did a great job watching my 2 dogs for the week while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and provided daily updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Sheena again!”
