About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.
“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”
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.
“Dana was very attentive. She even brought in the mail. I could tell from the pics she sent that my kitty was calm and relaxed with her. I will definitely schedule her again!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to all their different personalities and needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m dependable, patient, and happy to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I also work with senior citizens, which is something I’m very passionate about and truly enjoy. My schedule allows me to balance both while still making sure I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, clean up after them, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“After having a bad experience with a previous Rover dog sitter I was hesitant to use it again, but Madeline was great from beginning to end. She took good care of both my babies and they seemed to really like her. I would definitely rebook.”
About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.
About: I’ve been raising animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is open and flexible, so I’m able to provide care whenever you need it, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute requests. I have one dog of my own and a spacious, treated, and securely fenced yard that provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet to enjoy.
About: I’ve grown up caring for family and friends dogs since I was 10. I’ve taken care of a large variety of breeds and love getting to know each and every one! I currently work part time during the week. I’m available for mornings walks before 10 am and afternoon care starting at 4:30 pm until 10 pm unless otherwise discussed! Walks, play time and even relaxation are key to the dogs enjoyment around a new person. I strive to leave every visit with your furry friend feeling happy, loved and cared for.

About: I know most people will talk about their experiences and how long they've loved/owned pets and animals, so instead of telling you about my own, I will tell you something that I understand and that every pet owner wants to hear from a pet caregiver: They are more than animals who you play with, take on walks, feed or pet/give them belly rubs.. they're your family. As members of your family, it is my duty as a caregiver to make sure they are properly looked after, and more importantly: Loved and Respected. Both you and your family member will get your time and efforts worth, that is my vow as one who truly loves cats and dogs I'm looking for work right now, but I found about this and figured it'd be best to keep myself out there and making sure I ain't wasting away, especially when I get to help out folks and their family members 🙏 My schedule can change, but I'll be free most days from mornings to nights, and if staying at night is needed I can always couch crash if needed.. I'll bring my own blanket though lol As members of your family, I make sure they get not only properly fed and walked with, but that they get the attention, entertainment and discipline that you want from them! Whether they be dogs or cats, I know to give them space when I'm new and let them get used to my presence and scent. If they're skittish, I make sure to wear socks and not reach out to pet them, so that the footsteps don't spook em too often and that they don't think I'm chasing them 😅. I'm used to both auto feeders, wet food and custom made pet meals, so if you have a unique way to properly feed your pets I'll make sure to adhere to the procedure as well 🙂↕️. Same with their activities, I won't do anything you wouldn't want them to do, only things that you AND your family member approve of!
“Esmeralda was a great communicator and sent pictures of my fur babies to me at each drop in. My cats normally hide but they came out for her instantly. That’s a good sign. :) I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, going to neighbors’ houses and helping my mom with her Rover pet sitting. I graduated in 2024 as a certified veterinary technician, and started working at the clinic I completed my year long internship at. I love all animals and can’t wait to help you find the perfect sitter for your pet’s needs! I currently hold a full time position at an animal hospital. I interact with patients daily and am in charge of patient husbandry and clinical care. I have a fenced yard for your angels with plenty of room for zoomies, and copious space inside for hanging out or playing. Nightly cuddles available on request, or pets can be housed in a kennel in a separate room based on owner and pet preference.

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
