Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing. This was my first time using a pet sitter on Rover and she made the entire experience great for both myself and Winnie! Would absolutely recommend!

We had a great first experience with Rover and so glad we were able to book with Zoraya. She accepted our last minute request within minutes and stayed in contact with us the whole time. We received pictures, a video and text updates. Our sweet, old Sandy girl did better than I expected and I believe it was because she was in the best of care. I will definitely use Ms. Zoraya again if we ever need another caretaker for Sandy while we are in the Houstin area.

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.

Amazing dog sitter and incredibly flexible! She does a wonderful job providing updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog always feels comfortable and happy when visiting her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She even sent my dog home with a special gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.

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!

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!
