“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.

“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.
“Zarina did a great job with Bear! I appreciated the photo and video updates on how Bear was doing while we were away for the weekend! Was glad to see and hear him getting along with her pup cupcake as well!! Would definitely feel comfortable asking her to sit Bear again!”

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.
Ruaidhri was amazing looking after my Luna! She was treated like a princess and made feel safe, and she got all the pup cups she ever could’ve wanted! I was nervous leaving her as a fairly new dog parent but Ruaidhri really made everything so easy for me and Luna. An easy 100/100 experience, I trust Ruaidhri with Luna anytime!
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.
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!
