About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and have a deep compassion for treating them like they’re my children ❤️ I have years of experience training my own dogs, and can cater to their needs. I’m always the go-to dog sitter in my family, whether it’s in their home or mine ! I am home most of the day to give your dog all the attention they want. On the weekends I typically stay home and will give your dog my full attention and love. I often take my dog to the farmers market, etc on the weekends so if your dog is socialized I am more than happy to bring them along ! I have a house with a big backyard your dog will love enjoying! I currently have my 2 kids, Luna (shih tzu and a diva!!) , and Kilo (my sweetheart husky).
“Emily had great communication while we were gone and took the time to come by and meet our pups before we left. They were very comfortable with her very quickly. She even did a nail trim while we were gone which one of our dogs can make challenging to do by yourself. We’ll be rebooking Emily in the future”

Fluent in English and proficient in Spanish. Committed to providing pets with the love, care, and companionship they deserve. I am currently working a full time job during the week until 6ish.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could remember. Growing up we have always had dogs and it was my responsibility to take care of them. Neighbors and friends would always come to me to dog sit for them. I enjoy making a dog’s life more enjoyable for them. I know with busy working parents it’s hard owning animals to keep them entertained. It makes my heart full knowing that I’m benefiting the pets life by providing exercise and mental stimulation I work from 6:30 to 3 Monday through Friday. After work I like to get a walk in everyday. It makes it feel like a more productive walk when I have a dog with me because I know I’m giving that dog exercise and mental stimulation. My dog and cat go on tons of adventures with us. We love to hike. If I’m watching your animal in house I will make sure I’m creating a safe and calm place in their home making sure they are not lonely or bored.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my household since I was a kid. Taking care of animals has always been in my nature, down from the lost neighborhood cat to the stray puppy on the side of the road. I am mostly working Thursdays through Sundays (Part - Time) so caring for your pups Monday through Wednesday will come with ease. My job does not come with a fitted schedule so days may vary. I have two dogs in my house, both very friendly but one more playful than the other. They both get along with lots of other dogs.
About: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I am available whenever needed. My teenage kids also love to help me with the fur babies I care for. We are all animal lovers. ❤️ I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
“Angie was amazing with both my cats and dogs! Super easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and sent the cutest photos while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Elle, a professional hairstylist and lifelong dog lover based in the Houston area. Caring for others—whether it’s people or pets—is what I truly enjoy. I'm a professional hairstylist running My Salon in the Heights. I have flexible hours and wanted to utilize my extra time in a more meaningful way. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable cared for and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routine, personalities, and needs.
“Valerie was wonderful! I had a little complicated situation feeding our outside cat when the other homies (cats) decided to takeover the backyard while we were gone. Very thankful for Valerie, she made me feel more comfortable.”
About: Ive taken care of my own and family members dogs when they go on vacation. I have bathed, walked, and feed large and small dogs. I havent cared for anyone elses cat but i have had cats of my own. I am currently working part time, but i am never busy to care for pets i have a dog and cat myself so my job is not my main priority, they are and your pets will be my main priority. I have a fenced back yard and i have a 5 year old dog that is super friendly. I have a area if my pet is needed to be apart.
“My dog loves Gisselle and she takes such great care of her! She’s very good with my dog and very reliable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone great to care for your pet!”
“Sara is amazing! I had a horrible experience last year & was so worried about a repeat experience….so glad I found her. She was a drop in for me twice a day 5 days! If you are scared to do drop-ins (as I was), I am reassuring you that you can 100% trust her. Pics & questions for great care. Honestly, I feel like a made a friend.”
About: We have all types of toys from plush toys to Kong toys and treats. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Our 2 year old dog is KCG trained so we’re patient and we can even help with continuing training. From sit, down, stay, and shake. I love taking our dogs on a walk and giving them lots of attention. From them sitting next to us to playing. We believe in fun, while training. Giving them a fun and encouraging way to keep their mind stimulated while also playing and giving them love that dogs need. We have a ton of toys as well as mind stimulating toys to keep them busy and entertained until you come pick them back up. 15+ years experience I currently work full time but it is work from home. So I’m pretty flexible with taking care of your fur babies by taking them on walks. I give them attention they want but also am cool with giving them alone time. We have a pretty decent size home with many different rooms so they can be alone if they want.
About: I’ve had pets for my whole life, and I can’t imagine a better day than spending time with little furry friends! I have two cats and a golden retriever, and they get along well with other animals too! I’m always taking care of my pets, so adding another would be a joy. We can go to parks, and our apartment complex has a great dog park! I have a cozy apartment and a great dog park in our apartment complex! We can go on walks, and we can play inside or outside!
About: Always had a dog in the house since I was a kid and been around them all my life from the smallest dog to the largest being a Great Dane, I have patients for dogs and the knowledge especially being someone new to them to handle them with care. Working full time but looking for extra activities in the evening and this would be perfect especially wanting to get more exercise and seeing new animals is a plus! I have three cats and a small dog in a two story apartment, they eat twice a day and spend time with my wife and son at home, but caring for pets in other people’s home I know is uncomfortable sometimes so I would treat even home visit with the same respect I’d want for my home and treat your pets with more care

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Highlands 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 Highlands 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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Highlands 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.
