“Tatum was great. She worked with me to get my senior kitty, who is a picky eater, to eat as much as possible while we were gone. She was very responsive whenever I messaged her. I would definitely have her take care of my baby again.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs of all sizes since I was a tiny tot. I have experience with crate training, potty training, and overall skills training. I’m currently in grad school, but the semester is coming to an end, so I’ll have plenty of time over the summer to care for your pup. I keep treats on deck and will make sure that your pup feels safe with me. Building trust is my number one priority and I want to make sure that not only you, but your beloved pup can trust me as well.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Alexis. She took such great care of our babies while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind. She made sure they were well loved, kept active with walks, and stayed on their normal routine. One of our favorite things was the pictures she sent! We absolutely loved getting updates and seeing how happy and comfortable our pups were. It meant so much to know they were in such good hands. We truly appreciate the care and attention she gave them and would definitely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“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.”
“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: I have years of experience caring for my own pups (beagle, pugs, and large mixes). There’s not a dog I don’t love. I value routine, consistency, boundaries, and movement for the pets safety and peace. I have experience from training my lighting bolt of a beagle aka “Bolt” ⚡️. (Bolt passed away, I have not had a dog of my own since, and miss their company) I don't have a yard or dogs of my own, but I have plenty of free time to give your pet the attention it deserves. I always supervise pets closely, keep them on a secure leash, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable the entire time. I will follow your directions as outlined. You know your dog best.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend Jackie enough for her exceptional dog sitting services! She took care of my dogs as if they were her own, showering them with love, attention, and care during my time away. From daily walks to playtime, Jackie ensured they were happy and well-exercised. Her communication was fantastic; she provided regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear that she has a genuine passion for animals, and my dogs absolutely adored her! If you're looking for someone trustworthy and nurturing to care for your furry friends, Jackie is the one! Thank you, Jackie, for making my dogs feel so loved while I was away!”
“Katie was so caring and professional. It was easy to work with her and she was understanding and flexible with our situation being we were traveling. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.”
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!
“Brianna is very dependable and thorough. She took very good care of our cats (fed them and scooped their litter daily exactly according to our instructions). She brought in our mail and watered a couple of our plants. She also sent us photos of our pet every day. I highly recommend Brianna!”
“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!!!”
“Thank you so, so much for taking care of Jun! It eased my anxiety knowing someone was there to come check on him and play with him for his first time alone overnight! Appreciated the daily photos and super responsiveness! Would absolutely book again!! :)”
About: I have loved animals since I could walk. My friends call me the animal whisperer because I have never come across a dog or cat that I could not win over. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and am not easily intimidated by them, despite my tiny stature of 5 ft. I have a very caring nature and a passion for helping. Any time I go anywhere that has a pet, I naturally gravitate and spend most of my time with them. I am extremely careful and details oriented, and when I am with your pet, they will be the center of my attention. I will treat them with the care I give my own dog. I am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Pekingese, my little man Gizmo, who is my world. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him. I have also always owned dogs and cats throughout my entire childhood and adult life and have considered them all to be like my children. All of my close personal friends have dogs and cats as well, and I frequently help take care of them when they are out of town and treat them as if they were my own. I am experienced with giving oral medication to both dogs and cats as well. I am constantly looking for ways to help animals when I see them and often feed stray cats and even opossums that are in my neighborhood. I am known to pick up stray dogs when I see them on the road and hold onto them until I can find them a safe home to go to or a rescue that will take them in. I have been an Intermediate Language Arts teacher for 14 years, so my availability is set around the school day. I am available to walk dogs or do in-home check-ins after 3:30 on weekdays, and available any time during the weekends and the summer (June and July). Caring for your pet is my top priority. When I am with your pet, they will be the center of my attention, and I will make sure they are comfortable and cared for at the level I would expect for my own dog. I will pay close attention to any details you have provided to make sure that all needs are met and will make sure I am attuned to your pet's emotional wellbeing.
About: I am a horse girl (that should tell a lot! lol) I have had every animal under the sun. I am well versed in many dog breeds with all ages. My family raises and breeds Maine coon cats. I have birds as well! I’ve had cockatoos, turtles, flying squirrels, fish, possums, rats, hamsters and many more. Currently I am completely open. I will start online classes in July. Late August I will start going back to school at Texas A&M Galveston 5 days a week. Since I have birds and a large stud cat, responsibility is key. I have a large back yard, a Catio and 4 difffedent bird cages. My animals are love there food routines and walk routines.
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.
“Mallory was wonderful!!! She was so communicative about how our fur baby did, sent photos, and was going above and beyond to make sure our dog was at comfortable and safe as possible. Will absolutely trust her again with our pets!!”
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.

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Friendswood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Friendswood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
