“Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼”

“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”
“Tim was fantastic with our cats. The freezing weather threw a wrench in things, and Tim agreed to come earlier than we had him scheduled. This really helped out the sitter he was relieving since she doesn’t drive and needed to arrange transportation. Tim ensured the outside cats were warm enough and got them fresh water when it froze. He sent us photos of the cats to us and let us know all was well which we appreciated.”

“Lidia was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pet in her care. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Throughout the stay, she provided updates, photos, and peace of mind, which meant so much to me. My pet was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Lidia went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and kind to care for your furry family member, I cannot recommend Lidia highly enough. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kayla is so great! The dogs absolutely love her. We are so grateful that she spends so much time with them and is never gone for very long. It’s a good feeling to have someone you can fully trust to care for your dogs and stay in your home.”

“Brianna is great! She took amazing care of our pup, Bear. She went the extra mile all throughout - starting with a meet and greet to taking Bear on long walks and adventures. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!”

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!”

“Shirlette made me feel so comfortable when she was watching our dogs and cats! She communicates well, sent lots of cute pictures and went the extra mile teaching a stubborn puppy to walk better on the leash. I look forward to leaving the fur babies with her on my next trip!”

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.

“Ellie was amazing! She took Taffy on all kinds of little adventures and sent me the cutest pictures. She was super communicative and I could tell Taffy had a great time without me because she’s already went back to sleep and I just got home. Thank you Ellie!”

“Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Daniela was such a blessing! From day one she was very responsive and professional. I made her come to my house twice for meet and greet because i have two Dobermans and i needed them to get familiarized with her before my trip. She accomodated my last minute changes and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My dogs are very high maintenance and extremely velcro so i was worried it would be too much for Daniela but nope! Got so many pictures and updates that i didnt worry about my doggos (or my house) while i was on vacation. She went above and beyond and left the house even cleaner than how i left it. Even gave freyja a bath. Not ever booking with anyone else other than her :) happy with my first ever rover experience and very thankful i found her.”

“Paula is very nice and did a great job watching Toby while I was out of town. Unfortunately, it rained (heavily) throughout her whole stay, so walks were on short supply but she kept me updated throughout and took Toby out as much as possible considering! I came home to a happy pup and clean home. I would definitely book with Paula again!”
“Stephanie was great! She communicated consistently with texts and pictures of our pups. She made sure they were well fed, took them on walks, and managed a few oddball chores we asked her to help with. Our family and pup crew hope to meet again.”


“Ana was so amazing with my babes !!!! She was totally attentive and loving, and kept me updated each day. Totally appreciate her and will most certainly reach out to her next time I need to leave town 😊 Highly recommended !!!!”

“Deanna was nothing short of amazing. She took care of our pups while we were on family vacation and didn’t miss a beat. She sent constant pictures and videos and it was so nice to see updates about them while we were away.”

“What a wonderful sitter! Allison was so sweet to our 9month old mini-Bernese, Atlas. She cared for him for an entire week and gave us thorough updates along the way. She also took care of our home. We are very thankful and would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Emily was amazing watching our dog, Murray! She was attentive, communicative, respectful to our home, and provided exceptional care. We appreciated the daily photos we received from her while we were on our trip. We couldn’t be happier with Emily and we are excited to use her again in the future! I highly recommend entrusting her to watch over your furry loved ones.

Here is a shorter version: Lev was absolutely wonderful. He is trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He sent regular updates and photos, kept me informed about walks, meals, medication, and followed all instructions exactly. He was dependable, on time, and very attentive. My dogs are not always the easiest to win over, but they quickly trusted him. He genuinely cared about them, spent extra time with them, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for. Lev stayed overnight, handled everything beautifully, and my home was clean and exactly as I left it. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I will absolutely book Lev again and highly recommend him.

Marissa was wonderful! We were visiting Houston and staying at a hotel, and she was able to accommodate a last-minute request to care for our two pups right in our room. One senior and one sensitive, so they require extra attention and a gentle, patient touch; and Marissa handled it very well. It’s not easy to find someone willing to work around a traveler’s schedule on short notice while also tending to dogs with particular needs, but Marissa made the whole thing effortless. Our pups were calm and well cared for, and we came back to two happy dogs. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter in the Houston area!

Kalina was absolutely incredible. We truly could not have asked for a more caring and attentive dog sitter. This was our first time leaving Nala overnight without a close friend or family member watching her, and we were pretty nervous - especially since we were gone for over a week. But Kalina made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone! She sent us updates everyday throughout the day, including adorable pics of Nala having fun with other pups and friends, which really brightened our days. She was also super responsive and left our home spotless. Our only fear is that she won’t be available next time we need a sitter!

Aly took great care of our girls while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. She was thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cared for our pets as if they were her own. Aly also kept our home spotless, and went above and beyond by helping water our plants. We came home to happy pups and a well-cared-for house. We would gladly book with Aly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
