“Leslie took wonderful care of my Roxie for over a week. It was obvious Roxie was very well looked-after - lots of walks, cuddles, and attention. Leslie was very communicative, followed our instructions for Roxie to a T, and even expertly handled a minor medical issue Roxie had during her stay. I really appreciated the pictures and video, and Roxie seemed like she had been very happy there when I picked her up :). Highly recommend Leslie, and will be contacting her for future visits for sure!”
“Randy was absolutely incredible with RYKER! I was going through a lot and needed someone I could truly trust, and Randy exceeded every expectation. RYKER isn’t an easy pup—he’s epileptic, highly anxious, and has major trust issues—but Randy handled him with such patience, care, and compassion. It honestly felt like a miracle to find someone who not only understood RYKER’s needs but also created a calm, safe space for him to feel secure. Randy was communicative, gentle, and completely unshaken by any challenges. 10/10—would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Randy, for being exactly who RYKER (and I) needed.”
“Zoraya took great care of puzzle and communicated very well, she sent pictures & updates daily throughout my trip! I would definitely recommend her and we hope to book again with her soon.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Roux with Alexis. Communication was always prompt. Plenty of pictures and updates were provided. I would 100% let Roux stay with Alexis again.”
“Mariyana was absolutely wonderful! She was kind, professional, and clearly loves what she does. Benji came home happy, well cared for, and calm, which says everything. I’m so grateful for the attention she gave him during his stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Kevin and Brian were wonderful with our goofy girl! We received several updates and pictures throughout her stay with them. It was very comforting knowing they cared for her so well. 😊 We will definitely check with them first the next time we need reliable, caring, and excellent sitters. We cannot recommend them enough!”
“Jocelyn & Syril did an amazing job caring for my fur baby while I was away! I especially loved how they were empathetic to this being my first care service and sent me tons of vids/pics to assure he was okay! Definitely will book again in the future!✨Thank You!”
“Lidia was an excellent caretaker for my pups! She was thorough in her responses to all of my questions prior to boarding and provided plenty of updates during their stay. She was even gracious enough to take the reservation last minute and very prompt with her responses. I would 100% book with her again due to her diligence, caring nature, experience with older pups, and clean environment. 💙”
“This was Oreos first time away from home and with a sitter… Kelsie was great, she sent daily updates with pictures/videos. I really was at ease with her watching Oreo, and Oreo seemed very comfortable with her!”
“Skye had the best time! They did a meet and greet beforehand so she could get comfortable and their place has such a fun play area for active pups. I got tons of photos and updates while I was gone and they made sure Skye had plenty of time to sniff, explore, and burn off her energy. So grateful for the thoughtful care - we’ll definitely be back! 🐾”
“Leigh always does an excellent job caring for my cat. She is on time with pickup and drop off and she sends cute pictures of my cat! I can tell she treats him like her own. Leaving your pet with a stranger can be so scary but Leigh is someone who has been proven to be trustworthy. I will continue to board my cat with Leigh, she is a great pet sitter!”
“It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.”
“I just moved to Houston a few months ago so it was so a relief to find someone to watch my dog while I go out of town. Caleb sent photos daily and gave updates on how she was during while I was out of town. I would 100% recommend Caleb and use him again!”
About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Sharon was awesome! Have daily updates and answered all my questions in a timely manner! She was willing to work with my schedule and my dog looked like he was very well cared for and had a great time. Will be returning with Sharon very soon!”
“Bondi had the best time during her week with Steven! We got to play with lots of other dogs and was constantly cared for. I loved receiving pictures of her during the day. We'll definitely bring her here again!”
“Goose had a great weekend with Carlos and Reese! Carlos sent daily updates and was really patient and understanding with meeting Goose’s needs (eg extra activities to keep his puppy mind working)! Would definitely recommend Carlos if you’re looking for someone that’ll make sure your pup is well taken care and give you peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Renée took care of our mini Aussie, Crispin, for an overnight stay while we were visiting Houston for a holiday party. Crispin is a senior fog who doesn’t hear well. We couldn’t be happier for the good care and affection she gave him. She was also flexible and responsive in dealing with us. Thank you, Renee!”

Jordyn was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about dogs and even gave me some recommendations on supplements for Alaska since she’s getting older. She sent updates and Alaska seemed very comfortable and happy when I picked her up. She clearly has a lot of experience with pets and I will definitely be booking her again in the future
It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.
I had such a great experience with Azlynn watching my pup Dormie. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my pup. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable when I returned home. I would absolutely recommend Azlynn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Ruaidhri was fantastic! He was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and in great hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾😊
This was our first time booking Randy and he was absolutely awesome! From the start of the booking process; he responded quickly, during boarding he sent pictures and updates on how Nova was doing, and pickup was a breeze. We’ve already booked a second stay. We are very appreciative for his care.
Michelle is THE BEST!!! I found Michelle last minute in a panic and she was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous. She was soooo incredibly patient with me as I kept going back and forth deciding if I would take them with me or just give myself a break and leave them with her. I am so glad I made the decision to leave my dogs with Michelle. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Michelle checked in multiple times a day with photos and updates. She kept my dogs an extra day when I needed it at the last minute, squeezing them in before another client. She also took the time to educate me on some behavioral things I could work on with one of my dogs. Michelle truly went above and beyond from the start, up until the moment she dropped off my babies. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in every way. My dogs are in great hands with her and she is now my permanent go-to sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle without hesitation!
Our two pups were so well-cared for while we were on a week-long trip. Tommie and Jeffrey share their lovely home and backyard and definitely made our dogs feel comfortable, happy, loved and at home. They worked with our shy girl to make her feel special too! We received lots of updates too that I definitely appreciated! Thank you!
Nicole and her husband took care of our corgi Gilly for a week, and she was very responsive and sent several photos of walks and hanging out at home. After we took Gilly home, he was super tired because he's been playing with their dog Benji all week. It seems like he had a great time! Highly recommend Nicole!
Alyssa was great with Toby, she would send me daily pictures and videos of him and it was so comforting seeing him so happy. Toby had a great time and we felt very calm knowing Alyssa was looking over him. She even accommodated her time so we could drop him off a little bit earlier to be on time for our flights, loved her willingness to help us.
