“Laurinda took great care of our cats while we were away, reported on their well being, and sent us pictures and video. We felt at ease knowing our cats were in good hands.”
“Brittany took fantastic care of my cat, Remy, while I was away for a quick weekend trip! She was so helpful in accommodating our last minute request and sent us cute photos and videos of him. Our cat loves spending time with her!”
“Tiffany always does an amazing job caring for my kitties. I appreciate how innovative she is in entertaining them! Will definitely be booking her again for my next trip 🙂 Thank you Tiffany!”
“Kirsten made sure to make time to come early to meet animals and get keys before the initial visit. She made sure to send pictures daily and the cats looked comfortable when I returned home.”
About: Grew up with both dogs and cats since I was an infant. We had many pets growing up that I was responsible for from the time they were puppies all the way through their senior years. I also helped friends and family when necessary and have carried that through my adult years. I work an 8-5 on weekdays, but can happily care for pets after work or anytime throughout the weekend. Depending on the location, I can also fit a walk during my lunch break! I fully value making sure an animal feels safe with me before anything else. With that, I can work with whatever you need for your specific pet!
“Cassidy was great with our pups! We needed someone last minute to come and check in on our dogs when we went out of town, and we’re so thankful to have found Cassidy on Rover! She took great care of our dogs and house, gave them plenty of potty breaks, and made sure one of our dogs got her meds twice a day! And we loved getting the pictures and updates of each visit through the app. We would definitely recommend Cassidy for your dogs sitting needs, and hope to be able to use her in the future again!”
“Rachael was truly fantastic! She communicated thoroughly with the details that matter, and was very considerate of our dog’s needs beyond what I had even communicated. Thoughtful and thorough:)”
“Taylor, you went above and beyond. The piece of mind I got from knowing you were taking care of the pups was more than I could’ve expected. Thank you very much for helping take care of everything.”
About: Hi! I am an undergraduate student at Baylor and have had lots of experience with pets! I’ve had multiple dogs and cats growing up. I’ve sat for others and neighbors have relied on me as well. I’d love to help out with your pets! I am a student so weekends are free for me! Weekdays I have a break from 10am to 1pm and finish classes at 3pm so my schedule is super flexible! I care for the dogs when they are outside I watch them to make sure they stay safe! I can also crate your pups if needed!
“Madi and Abby were amazing! Our two young cats were so comfortable around Abby and that shows how great she was with them! She followed all instructions, sent tons of pictures that made us so happy while away, and even was extremely patient and communicative during a situation where our electric front door locked wouldn’t open! Would absolutely recommend and book again! So happy we found them!”
“Ray took such good care of our old dog! Ray's communication (initial contact, photos, daily updates) throughout the process was timely and thorough and we knew that our dog was in good hands the entire time. We will definitely look for Ray first next time we need this service!”
About: I've had cats in my past that I loved they bring joy and currently I have two precious dogs that I love very much they are my world I have had for 8 years I take them to potty or walk at the park to get exercise in and play time,feed them and I would love the chance to take care of your precious dogs and to treat them like family. I currently work but I'm available for most weekends and by the week I hope to have some free time to do some dog sitting for you in the evenings I have a good size back yard where I let my babies run around and play with them in the backyard after they have fun I give them a treat I love to spoil my babies and I always refer to them as my kids not dogs they are so energetic and for my clients home I would take their dogs in the backyard to play and potty or I could take them to a park to walk around and potty which ever is good for the client I work for.
“Allison did an amazing job! She took great care of our two cats and provided lots of pictures and updates after each visit. Our boys really enjoyed their time with her. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We would definitely recommend Allison and hope to continue using her in the future!”

Sara is the best! She accepted our last minute request to do drop-in visits for our fur baby. Sara was quick to respond, followed our instructions perfectly, and loved on our girl while taking care of her. We really appreciate Sara and her dependability. We will book her for future visits and would recommend anyone else to do the same! Thanks a ton Sara! :)
Miss Lindsey was such a great help and on short notice! She followed my directions to the T, left my home better than she found it and was very prompt to share updates with me. She even walked the dogs in freezing temperatures where she could’ve cancelled (and rightfully so!) and still made it to her ministry! If you have the opportunity to support Miss Lindsey, you will not be disappointed! She is on time, truthful, fair and loving to animals.
We found Cheryl because our wedding was in the Crawford/Waco area!!! She was such an amazing help over lunch and during the evenings over our wedding weekend. Would highly recommend her to anyone. She was super communicative, nice, and helpful! Our dog Murphy absolutely loved her. Added bonus she has a younger son who also loves dogs and really wears the dogs out playing with them! We loved it!! Would highly recommend! She’s was on time and did anything we asked for your dig! Thanks again Sheryl!
Chase made sure to keep me up-to-date on my pets while I was out of town. I don’t have any family in town and my neighbors are elderly, so it’s very convenient and reassuring to know that Chase will make sure that my cats are OK while I am on vacation. It’s peace of mind.
Delaney is amazing. Even with somewhat short notice she came through for me and provided an amazing experience. Rosa loved her and I would not hesitate to ask Delaney to come back. Wonderful girl, sweet and caring, everything a person could ask for. Highly recommended.
Sharleen is amazing. We had some unexpected health issues arise during the time she was supposed to drop in. Due to my daughter being home I’ll, we no longer needed her to drop in. Sharleen was understanding and quick to respond to messages. I appreciate Sharleen’s patience and willingness to adapt to last minute changes. And as always she’s very attentive and our fur babies trust her.
