About: I absolutely love animals! I'm patient, caring, and understanding, and I believe every pet deserves compassion and kindness. I have a special place in my heart for rescue pets because every animal has their own unique story. Being attentive, patient, and making your pet feel safe and loved is always my priority. I'm here to help make life easier for both you and your furry family member. 🤍 I work at my family’s business that’s from home and I do pick up sides jobs very often to earn some more cash on the side i am most flexible weekdays early morning until 4:30pm if since I am able to move my schedule around then most people I can always try to work out after hour care if really needed I’m always understanding if anything! To ensure your furry one safety I would like to go down what your most comfortable me doing in certain difficult situations or any other situations your most convened about I will never do anything that I wouldn’t do to my own pets or wouldn’t like others to do so communicate is key 🔑
“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!”
“Alexis was so caring and took such good care of our dog, Finn. She communicated regularly and provided fun pictures of him while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Alexis”
“Kira was very accommodating to my fur babies whom can be a bit of a hassle sometimes. Also was flexible for me as needed. Thank you Kira! I would definetly book again any time I’m away from home.”
About: I have helped take care of dogs of all ages since elementary. Nowadays I make fast friends with dogs and love bringing them out on walks. I love high energy breeds and helping them release all the pent up energy so that they sleep like a baby once they get home. Also work well with meeting low energy dogs at their level so that they have fun too. I am currently working full time as a researcher from home so my schedule is very flexible. Getting out of the house to visit pets or go on walks is as essential for my mental health as it is for your fur baby. I am not able to host dogs at this time, but make a priority of keeping the fur babies routine as much as possible when doing house visits and check ins. My goal is to eliminate as much stress as possible for your fur babies.
“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. 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”
“Absolutely amazing. She did everything I asked, and then some. All of my crazy crew of my little dachshunds absolutely loved her. Definitely will be rehiring her again.”
About: Caring and loving animal lover with over 20 years of experience. I provide dependable and compassionate pet care and will treat your furry friends like family. I’m currently working from home part time, so I have usually a rather open schedule to provide the care your pet(s) need. I can provide house sitting, or multiple daily check-ins. I promise to ensure your pets are safe, healthy, and comfortable in my clients home. I can provide regular walks, one on one playtime, meals time, and all of the attention necessary. Daily updates included. I treat your home with respect and will follow all detailed instructions to maintain your pets routine.
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!
“This dynamic duo is amazing. They always go over and beyond their duties and our fur babies love them! I know they are safe with them and well taken care of when we are out of town. I’m so thankful for them and couldn’t imagine anyone else watching our babies.”
About: I am a reliable & experienced sitter that has had dogs and cats as pets all my life. I have over 30 years of pet sitting experience but I am new to Rover as a sitter. I used Rover for my dog that I had for almost 15 years. I have experienced with administering oral medication & taking care of elderly pets. I love them big & small, young & old, hyper or chill. I love to get outside for walks or runs. I am a homebody who works remotely & takes online courses as well so I’ll be around to give them all the attention. I know what it is like to have a pet with separation anxiety so no need to worry them or you while you are away :) I work part time so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I like to give them as much attention as I can while you are gone I like to keep their routine consistent to make it easier on everyone. If you want them crated, brushed, walked & fed at certain times, or allowed on or not on furniture, I will be sure to do the same!
“Cierra was great! She accepted a last minute request to check in on my pups and did an excellent job making sure they were happy and cared for. Very happy with her sitting services!!!”
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: With a deep passion I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs in various capacities. My experience includes volunteering at local shelters where I provided companionship, exercise, and basic care to dogs in need. I have also honed my skills in managing diverse breeds by taking them on dog dates, ensuring they receive the socialization and mental stimulation they require. Additionally, I have fostered dogs through the app rover program, providing a loving temporary home until they find their forever families. My commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic needs, focusing on creating a nurturing environment that promotes their physical and emotional health. I am currently studying to take my state board exams as an esthetician. I’m just trying to have some money to afford my state board exams. I have a dog name snowball, i’ve had him since I was 7. I have been raised with dogs my whole life. They make me happy and truly grateful. How I care for others & my own dog is with love, care and respect. I will always respect their home and the clients home, by never leaving it a mess if one is made.
“Alexis & Sean are the best! They have been taking care of my babies for a few years and do an amazing job. I feel comfortable when we are away because I know my cats are in great hands.”
About: Hello! I love dogs and all things plants! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life, growing up with at least two in my home and spending my summers in high school pet and house sitting. I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high energy pets to older dogs needing extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for fish, lizards and other small animals. I’m organized, communicative, and able to handle unexpected situations calmly, so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands! I work part-time and am preparing for grad school. This allows me to have more flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed carefully. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Really amazing ! Could tell she truly loves taking care of animals. Followed instructions precisely. Great communication before and during, and plenty of pictures. I have an older pet, so it especially made my vacation stress free, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely use Jacqueline again !
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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Friendswood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
