“This was our first time having Sebastian look after our dog and two cats. We are so glad to have found him! He is very communicative, prompt, and our pets evidently loved his visits! We enjoyed receiving report cards after each visit, complete with pictures. He shared any concerns he had, shared some funny stories about our pets’ mannerisms (?), and played tug and fetch with our dog. He even spent some quality time with our cats, which is a big deal! (The one who doesn’t really like anyone seemed to really like Sebastian, which we are grateful for!) We are so appreciative of the quality of care and will be booking with Sebastian again. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Arielle was very communicative and assisted us with a last minute booking. She went the extra mile to take care of our dog while we were out. She even checked on her twin e in one day because the weather was bad. We will definitely book for our future vacations. The daily pictures were perfect and reassuring.”
“Thi goes above & beyond to love on my dog! He is spoiled by us, so finding someone who loves him just as much feels amazing. She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used & is always quick to respond. 100% the best 🤍”
“Alexis and Sean were absolutely amazing with Otis while we were away. They were so sweet with him and incredibly easygoing, which made everything stress-free on our end. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—they gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. They truly went above and beyond by bringing in packages and keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, they treated Otis like he was their own, and that meant everything to me. I completely trust them and will 100% be using them again. Highly recommend!”

She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”

“Kyle has been our go-to pet caregiver for many years. Our current dog and cat adore him, as did our many previous pets throughout the years. He has a very calming influence on them and he is even able to bathe them and groom their nails easily. For extra $, he does an outstanding job of sanitizing the automated cat litter box as well! We’ve even had Kyle house sit many times and meet and manage contractors and workers at the house. He and his fiance also did an exceptional job of organizing cabinets and drawers, as well as whole rooms, as we were working through some major home renovations. You will not be disappointed if you hire Kyle for pet care or anything else you need done in your home!”

“Tatiana was taking care of our two cats while we were out in vacations, she sent many pictures and keep us posted about everything. Tatiana really cares about the pets that she is taking care, which is very comforting. We will book with her again for our next trip, the cats love her!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have a 15-year-old toy poodle of my own (lives with my parents now) , and I’ve also cared for my family’s dogs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently looking for a part-time opportunity and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available any day at the moment and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to follow any routines, instructions, or special requests you provide. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and currently do not have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I’m also happy to pet sit in your home if that is more comfortable for you and your pet. I will follow your instructions, routines, and house rules, while making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day.
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 15. In my circle, I am the trusted pet caretaker! When caring for pets I have administered medication’s in all forms, i.e. a liquid via mouth, a tablet via mouth or in food. One of my favorite things when caring for animals is getting to watch them be unique and goofy in their own way! I am no stranger to taking them on walks, taking them to parks, picking up after in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, taking care of puppies/kittens or senior pets! I’ve done it all! My dad will tell you I should’ve been a veterinarian. *IMPORTANT NOTE* When I am housesitting, I never bring my own animals. I am currently in between careers and I am doing odd jobs in the meantime. I am able to self schedule everything I am doing as of late. However, your pet needs to be cared for I am more than willing to accommodate! I am a firm believer that the most comfortable place for an animal is a place. They already know. Taking care of an animal in its own home for an extended period of time reduces the stress for that pet. They get to keep up with their normal routine and don’t have to worry about fighting for attention from other pets. allowing them to stay in their own home means they have my full undivided attention!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens to cats to dogs, with dogs being my specialty. Once a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and loved as if they were my own. I believe in feeding quality food, providing plenty of walks, and making sure every pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have two large Border Collies and a small Norwich Terrier, each with their own unique personalities, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes, energy levels, and attitudes. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be genuinely cared for, loved, and included. My schedule is very flexible, as I’m a stay-at-home mom and also help care for my aging veteran father. I’m available throughout the day and happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Feel free to text me with details about your pet, and let’s connect to see how I can help. I tailor walks and meals to each pet’s vibe, breed, size, energy, and attitude included. Walks are just the right length, and mealtime is always supervised with bowls spaced out (no food thieves on my watch). Lots of love, happy tails, and safe care always.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have such a deep love for them. I have had dogs, guinea pigs, and cats of all ages, so I am very experienced in different species. I am here for all your pets needs and am willing to be a helping hand! I am currently a student online for the summer, so I have free time for your pets needs! I am mainly available afternoon and weekends, but can make time during the weekdays! I am able to play, feed, or simply keep them company while your pets stay comfortable in their own space. I am respectful of your home, very clean & organized, and will send updates through out, to ensure you peace of mind of how your pet is doing. No matter the animal, I will treat and care for them like my own.
About: After years of caring for my own dog and my siblings' pets, I treat every pup I meet just like my own. I provide the genuine warmth, individualized attention, and steady routines they need to feel safe, loved, and happy. Leaving your furry best friend isn't easy, so I make sure you have total peace of mind by sending photo and video during every walk and drop-in visit. Because I work afternoon and evening shifts from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, my mornings and early afternoons are completely open. I am available Monday through Friday for late-morning walks and midday drop-in visits until about 2:00 PM. On weekends, my schedule is wide open, making it easy to accommodate both morning and afternoon check-ins, walks, feedings, and playtime based entirely on your pup’s usual routine. When visiting your home, I treat your space and your pet with utmost respect, caution, and care. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are securely latched before and after each visit, double-check that leashes and harnesses fit snugly before heading out, and keep fresh water filled. I stick closely to your specific feeding, medication, and care guidelines, clean up any messes immediately, and never leave your home unsecured. Above all, I keep you updated with photos and videos every step of the way so you know your pet and home are completely safe.
About: What makes me different is the care and experience I bring to pups at every stage of life. I’ve helped care for newborn puppies and their mom, making sure the little ones were safe, loved, and thriving. I’m comfortable giving oral medications to both big and small dogs, and I have training in caring for seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s a wiggly puppy or a sweet older pup, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is something I truly enjoy working into my week. Right now, I’m in pharmacy tech clinicals during the day, but my afternoons and weekends are completely open for caring for pets. That means I can give plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and snuggles after my classes, and I’m available all day on weekends for longer stays or extra love. In my home, dogs are treated like family. My own pups (three small dogs and one big dog) are free roam, and I keep the environment safe, cozy, and supervised so everyone feels comfortable. I make sure there’s plenty of playtime, cuddles, and rest, and I always pay attention to each dog’s personality and needs.
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, and have raised a high energy working breed from a puppy. I know basic obedience training techniques as well. I'm calm, patient, and excited to work with your four-legged friend! I'm currently enrolled in college, but I'm available every day except Wednesday and Thursday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.. during certain periods of the semester I will not be available due to midterms/finals but I will be prompt in letting you know so you can make alternate arrangements. At this time my home cannot accommodate another pet. But I am very conscientious about puppy proofing and ensuring my time with your dog is safe and fun!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Arielle was very communicative and assisted us with a last minute booking. She went the extra mile to take care of our dog while we were out. She even checked on her twin e in one day because the weather was bad. We will definitely book for our future vacations. The daily pictures were perfect and reassuring.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Ashley! She has done so well with Cooper. He can be quite a challenging dog, but he loves when she visits him and he behaves better for her than he does for us! She is so knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and we call her The Cooper Whisperer! She is excellent with communication, also, providing real time pictures, as well as status updates!
Such a blessing to have Jacqueline hang out and take care of our pups. She was the best communicator and went above and beyond for us. You can tell she loves animals and immediately gave so much love and attention to ours. She followed our instructions perfectly and even did extra when we had unexpected packages. So grateful for her time and help.
