“Makenzie took care of my dog Diego for the past 10 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Diego like he was her own. She even brought him a new ball and bone, such a sweet touch! 🥹 I know he’ll miss her, and I’ll definitely be requesting her again in the future. Highly recommend!”



“Deanna was great with our 65 lb labradoodle while we were away for a week. She went above and beyond the hour drop ins, and took him to the dog park. Would definitely recommend!”


“Dani was very patient and a wonderful sitter to my pup, and followed my instructions to a T! She was always very communicative and even went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable. Would rebook again!”


“Carolina is the sweetest. She is very communicative and dependable! She loves on our sweet guy (Bru) and plays with him outside. We are grateful to have her as our dog walker. She does a wonderful job.”


“Burak was great! he was very communicative and super nice! he seems to get along with Cal very well and was easy to get in touch with and book everything!”


“Dawn took great care of my cat during her drop-in visit. She went above and beyond to clean up a hairball that my cat left. I will be booking with her again next time I need a drop-in visit!”


About: I have lifelong experience and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with both dogs and cats and would assist in caring for my neighbor's animals when they were out of town. I have also had several roommates with both types of animals as well so I know how to handle pets of all ages. Since I have a cat, a dog that is cat-friendly is a must for me when boarding in my own home! Additionally, I may be boarding more than one animal at a time so we should discuss any behavioral needs or requirements to keep separated. I prefer to be as transparent as possible. I am open to any dynamic when providing pet care outside of my home. Working remotely allows me to be almost always home, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. During COVID, I spent weeks caring for various animals in client's homes and ranches, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and various other animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, sugar gliders, birds, etc. I am very interested in knowing about the habits you keep when caring for your animals and any fun or quirky behaviors they may have. Communication is key, and I want to know it all to make both you and your animal feel safe and at ease. Whether it is for a check-in, a nice walk, or boarding. My background in pet sitting, combined with my current lifestyle, makes me a reliable and dedicated caregiver for your furry friends. I work remotely during regular business hours. This means that I do need to be home with a private internet connection whilst working. However, I do have much more flexibility with being able to go for walks, check-ins, or basic presence and care. In my home: I have a first floor apartment with a very large L-shaped privacy screened concrete patio. There is a drain in my patio and turf grass. I do not have any toxic plants to cats or dogs within my home area. I also do not own a dog crate. I am a cat friendly home and am open to other cats and having another litter box for them. Please make me aware of any medical issues your animal has and whether they would need to be kept separated for the safety of my own animal. I do have cameras in my main living space. In my client's home: I follow your rules in your home. I would never bring another animal or human into it and I respect your privacy and the safety of your animal(s) and belongings. I do ask for clear instructions and communication and am happy to provide the same in return. Whether that's photos or texts to see how your fur baby is doing or quick and reasonable last minute requests.

About: Ready to meet your fur baby and make everyday awesome! I love going on long walks, hanging out at the dog park, or running errands with my fur baby and would love to extend the fun to your baby as well. Making my lifestyle fit around dogs has always been one of my top priorities and no matter how big or small, we will find a way to enjoy the day. I’ve lived with dogs and cats in the house my entire life. I currently have a 135 lbs. one year American Mastiff named Dante who’s the biggest goofball. Along with Dante we have our queen resident Cleo a tabby cat who keeps the house in order. Currently on the job hunt so my availability is nearly completely open. Last minute calls will be no problem as my schedule is highly flexible. I typically tend to spend as much of my time as possible outside (I know in that HTX heat it sounds crazy but I love it) and making sure your pup gets to be outside when safe and possible is the goal! I have a large fenced in back yard with tons of great space for your baby to enjoy. I have an extra medium crate to accommodate your dog as well if they need to be crated. Comfort is key and my house is built around making sure it’s a safe comfortable environment for the fur babies.

“Kaylalea was thorough in her communication, my cats seemed happy with her company, and my home was in the same condition as i left it. would definitely book again!”


About: My sister is a breeder of Pomeranians and I have helped her with not only pups but also seniors. I’ve also cooked nutrition balanced meals for my senior pup that had teeth problems. Taking care of an old OR young baby is no problem to me! I work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday till 9am. I am free all other time mostly. On times that I’m free, I love to cuddle with animals. I know some facts about certain breeds and what I need to watch out for. I’m not afraid of scratches or crazy fur babies. I am extremely careful when in contact with senior pups.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From daily walks and medication routines to overnight stays and puppy training, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means morning walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening drop-ins. As a reliable and organized sitter, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection. I also leave space in my routine for flexibility, so I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests or spend extra time with pets who need a little more love and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s meal portions, medication, litter box or potty breaks, or house routines like bringing in mail or watering plants. I treat each home with professionalism and leave it just as I found it. Most importantly, I prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety, keeping them happy and stress-free until their family returns.


“Lindsey was absolutely amazing and our pup even seemed disappointed when it was us that walked through the door upon our arrival home from our trip. Lindsey was so responsive and thorough with the care of our 8 year old boxer. She took our dog on walks, played frisbee with her in the evenings and cuddled with her on the couch. We are so thankful for Lindsey and will be booking her again and again.”


“Daniele is wonderful! She truly loves cats and my cat immediately bonded with her at our first meet and greet. I would trust her with my cat and home anytime. She communicated with me during every visit and shares photos. I will definitely use Danielle again! Happy cat, happy mom! 😻”


“Aislinn was amazing! She was super flexible with her time, which I really appreciated, especially when plans had to shift a bit. She followed all instructions perfectly, was so sweet with my kitties, and made sure they were well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend her!”


“Jessica was an AMAZING caregiver for our son. He’s a big boy and she handled him perfectly. She should be a dog photographer because the pictures she took of him I don’t know how she did it! Very communicative & she was on time for our requested check ins. She’s our #1 choice anytime we have to leave our baby home again.”

Galleria-Uptown pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was pleasant working with Bian and I’d recommend him to other pet parents! Bian is cooperative and communicate well. I had some issues initially with coordinating with my apartment to give him access to my place, but he was very patient throughout the whole time and eventually took initiative and sorted things out with the front desk. My cat Lucky is an energetic young boy that can make things messy sometimes. Bian took great care of him and took my instructions very well. He gave Lucky a lot of play time exactly like how I hoped, filled both of Lucky’s water bowls, and cleaned 3 litter boxes. I can tell that Lucky likes him and enjoyed the time with him. I’d definitely rebook in the future.

Aislinn was amazing! She was super flexible with her time, which I really appreciated, especially when plans had to shift a bit. She followed all instructions perfectly, was so sweet with my kitties, and made sure they were well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend her!

Lindsey was so great with our babies! This was our first time using Rover and Lindsey and we will definitely be booking her again. The pictures she sent after each check in made us feel comfortable knowing that they were being cared for and happy. That allowed us to really enjoy our vacation without worrying about them. 😊

Cristina was a huge help with my senior German Shepherd, Ike. I had a busy day at work and couldn't get home in time, and she stepped in and made sure he got the care and attention he needed. She was so patient with him on his walk and really tuned in to his pace and needs. Her updates gave me real peace of mind, and I could tell Ike was in good hands. I'm so grateful for her help! I'd absolutely recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We’ve booked Robin a few times now, and she’s always amazing with our two dogs. Most recently, she came by for a quick visit—walked them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. Our pups absolutely love her and get so excited every time she shows up. Robin is reliable, kind, and clearly great with animals.

Anna was amazing to work with!!! My cat, Xander, requires twice daily insulin injections with his meals, spaced out every 10-14 hours. She had never given injections before, but was willing to learn and even took it upon herself to watch videos before she met Xander and I showed her how to do it. During my trip, she was impeccably prompt with each visit, stayed in communication as needed, and took excellent care of my very senior kitty. I am so thankful to have found her and I highly recommend her!

We don’t leave our boy often but when we do, we ask Elizabeth to take care of him. Gives us great comfort to know he is being well cared for. We had Elizabeth take care of our first pup so we have been using Elizabeth to care for our fur family for at least 10 yrs. She’s the BEST!

I’ve had Darby watch Chanel a few times now and everytime it’s above my expectations! I love how comfortable my pup Chanel is with her, she takes care of all of her needs and follows Chanel’s preferences to the T. 10/10. Darby is definitely my go to for my baby!
