About: At the young age of 10 I started gaining experience in dog sitting, daycare, and taking animals on walks. I know the importance of communicating with pet parents as well my experience of ensuring animal safety, going to the vet, and specific diets. My sister has a pet business and I worked with her for a long time to gain more knowledge and experience hands on. I have a lot of experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs including grooming or pet-handling. Currently I am in school for drone operations and have a good amount of time to watch, love on, and enjoy taking care of your fur baby💗 For my clients no matter the service I provide photo and video updates, knowing how it feels to leave my furbaby with another person than me or my fiancé. I also keep my phone nearby so that I am able to quickly respond to any text or calls I may receive.
About: My beloved shih tzu passed recently after long and adventurous 14 years. I've had him since he was 8 weeks old, so I’m very well familiar with puppy stage as well as senior years. I was very attached to my doggie and know a lot about small breed needs and temperament. I’m also available to care for medium size dogs on case by case basis. Please, contact me for more information. I work from home full time and can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise and potty breaks. We always have someone at home, so your pet would always have company. I strive to provide the same care your pet would get at home. As a small dog owner I struggled to find a good sitter for my Shih Tzu, so I want to be that one person you can trust with your pet. I never book multiple families at the same time, so your pet will have all of my attention and care. I have a large house and a few acres of land to run around and have fun. We do not have any other pets right now, but we do have 2 small children who are gentle and great with animals.
About: I grew up always having a dog, or three, in the house. This means I have many years experience of getting along with, and taking care of various small to medium breeds. Feeding, playing, petting, walking, and cleaning up after them. I have also sat for friends who went out of town, caring for dogs as well as cats. I just moved back into town and, aside from helping my parents with their two dogs, my summer schedule is wide open. I would love to fill the time by meeting you and caring for your precious pet(s)! I am quiet-natured and good at building trust with new furry friends. I am intentional and thorough when it comes to pet care as well as maintaining the home environment. I also love to send pictures to keep your mind at ease while your pets are in my care.
“Thanks to a last minute booking Samantha accepted we were able to enjoy our trip away. She is very professional and accommodating. Sent photos and detailed updates about our dog Maisy. I was at peace knowing Maisy was cared for by such a nice person. We’re so happy to have found her! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Samantha ❤️”

“Sergey was fantastic with Bentley! He followed all of my care instructions, kept me updated with photos, and really went the extra mile by spending extra time playing fetch with him, which Bentley absolutely loved.

I would definitely book with Sergey again and highly recommend him! Thanks so much!”

“Lana fue una cuidadora increíble para Grima. Fue súper profesional, puntual y atenta, lo que nos hizo sentir muy tranquilos y seguros, sobre todo porque era la primera vez que viajábamos y dejábamos a Grima con alguien. Además, fue súper flexible y cariñosa con ella. Siempre estaba al pendiente de las necesidades de Grima, como cambiar los seateres según el clima y mantener limpio el área donde estuvo unos días. En general, tuvimos una experiencia fantástica con Lana y la recomendamos muchísimo.”

About: I am currently a teacher looking for some extra income on weekends and in the summer. My availability is open every weekend, before and after school on weekdays, and completely open in the summer. I grew up having dogs of all sizes. I own two cats and a pit bull/lab mix. My family has a 95 pound American Coonhound mix named Brisket. We just got a new puppy named Teddy! He’s a lab/pitbull mix. My sister who I petsit for frequently has an extremely fuzzy and energetic golden doodle named Izzy. I've been surrounded by dogs since I was born! Taking care of them is second nature to me. My sister was a vet tech for about 8 years so we know our animals are taken care of and I know everything I need to know about proper care for animals, especially dogs. I also have experience working with professional dog trainers. I have been listed as a pet sitter and a babysitter in my neighborhood's newsletter since I was 16. I have experience doing drop in visits, dog walking, house sitting, and even babysitting for families who have dogs! I do have repeat customers that I still keep in touch with today. Animals I have experience caring for include dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, livestock, fish, frogs, and turtles. I work as a special ed teacher, so my availability is before and after school care and weekends. I will be available throughout the holidays. I have a crate trained 5 year old dog, and a crate trained one year old boxer mix. I also have 2 cats who mind their business and even have their own room with a gate to block the dogs. I have a large backyard suitable for zoomies!
“Eden was wonderful, she was available within just a days notice, did a proper meet and greet and the dogs loved her. I got updates and photos during her visit, and I know my dog was so happy to have her company and the play time. I'm also happy to have found a new sitter in my area, for future bookings.”
“Kylie was amazing when doing drop off visits for us while we were out of town! She kept me informed and stayed the entirety of the 30 mins with our crew. Thank you for doing such a good job!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old- I love playing chase, fetch, and tug, as well as cuddling and giving scratches with my acrylic nails. I adopted my black lab mix four years ago, and she is my world! I’m currently working part time as a therapist some in the afternoons and evenings, so my mornings and afternoons are generally free and available to help. My flexible schedule is great for fitting in play times, walks, or cuddles! I have a massive fenced in yard and a pup of my own who loves to run and play. My dog is a runner, so I like to train and practice door manners with any dog I care for. Consistency is important, so I’d love to follow any house rules that you might have in place for your pups!

She was wonderful with my three dogs and even came on her day off to make sure they were taken care of. She alerted me right away when she noticed my front door was open, which I really appreciated. Very reliable, communicative, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hockley 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 Hockley 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 Hockley 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.
