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.
“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.”
“Terra was very helpful and responsive during the entire process. I appreciate she was able to take on my last minute request and was flexible regarding the drop in times. My kitties were well cared for, I would definitely recommend her.”
“Ive been having great experiences with Corina during her drop-in visit with my dog, Gunner. She were punctual, friendly, and gave Gunner lots of attention and care. I appreciated the detailed updates and professional photo shots—it was clear that he was happy and well cared for. Corina followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care!”
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.
“Corey was amazing! Before he took over care of our babies, Corey stopped by and had me walk him through a normal routine. Duke is very anxious and nervous around strangers, but Corey gave him the time and space to become more comfortable with him. Corey sent pictures and updates, and even went so far as to leave a written summary of their time together. In their short time together, he even managed to calm the amount of pulling they usually do on leash! Will book again!”
“Jadyn did an amazing job checking on our pups! She communicated very well, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of! This was our first time using Rover and she made this a very pleasant experience!”

I’m experienced with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home part of the week, which allows me to be flexible and available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I care for pets exclusively in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, prioritize safety, and provide regular updates.

I provide loving, reliable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m up by 7am each morning to give my two diabetic dogs their scheduled insulin injections (every 12 hours), so I’m very consistent and structured with routines. After that, I’m home for the majority of the day caring for the house and spending time with our three corgis. Because I’m home-based, your pup will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and timely care throughout the day. I ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, following routines and medications precisely, giving love and attention, and keeping you informed throughout their time with me.

“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.”

I make time for them daily by preparing their meals, giving them attention, and making sure they are comfortable when I am away from home. If you have any special food requests, I can follow them. I raised a couple of my kittens (Cloud and Andy) and one of my dogs (Peaches) since they were very young so I am comfortable with pee pads and bottle feeding. Also, I don't mind to clean up messes when they happen. I am available every day of the week, morning through evening shifts. Please check my calendar for my availability. I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs. For drop in visits, I will take care to look at your pets individual personalities and needs.

About: I am full time stay at home mom. I do have a fur baby of my own, but he is not currently in Hawaii with us. I have 1 male dog who is fixed & utd on shots. He is very friendly & pretty lazy. & He’s a Husky mixed with German Shepherd. His name is Baymax & he loves to play with other four legged furry friends. I do also have a fenced in yard that I believe is decent in size. I would love to care for your fur babies, go on walks, or have play dates as well. I do require you to have a kennel for the safety of everyone & due to some past experiences of damage & accidents. Animals don’t always act the same around all people & other animals. I do also charge an extra fee of $50 for “excessive” excrements & urine of your animal inside of my house for the cost of cleaning products & inconvenience to my family. If you have any questions feel free to message me any time. I’m almost always available & look forward to caring for your little fur babies like my own! ☺️ Use code “KENZYW92410” to get $20 off your FIRST booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/kenzyw92410

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.

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.

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.

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.
