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: With 6 years of professional doggy daycare experience and over 18 years of experience taking care of my own pets, I am a great choice for you and your furry friends needs. I have experience in walking, playtime, medications, feeding, and potty breaks. I have experience with all shapes and sizes from my job, as well as with my personal furry friends. With my current full time job, I am only available for drop in visits and walking on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. If other days are needed, please don’t hesitate to ask and I am more than willing to try and accommodate where possible. I prefer that all my clients provide proof of a rabies vaccine as it is extremely important that I keep your pet and myself as safe as possible. If booking a walk during this Texas summer heat, early morning walks or evening walks are preferred but I am able to provide midday walks if needed. Please feel free to reach out and we can find a solution that works for us both :) I am able to meet most any accommodations you need, and always promise to treat your pets with respect and love. I look forward to hearing from you! I work a full time job so I would work best with pets who are used to their parents being out of the house during the day! I will follow the same schedule your babies are on and if you want them crated during certain times, out during certain times, etc. I will make it happen. I am very cautious about keeping my eye on your pup at all times so I know they are safe and happy!
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.
“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!”
“Kahea provided excellent care to our cats! She administered medications, kept food and water filled, and cleaned the litter boxes. She gave very detailed updates and ensured our cats were cared for and comfortable!”
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!
About: I've pet sit with my best friend the last 2 years. Many different animals, many different homes. I love them all the same as mine! I am self employed, so pet sitting fits perfectly for me! I can perfectly schedule them into my days, plus be available for walking often. I am very attentive and lovey. Special instructions I can follow to a T while respecting your space and keeping your animals safe while outdoors!
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.
“Our pets loved Leah! We wanted someone with experience with large breeds since we have a giant schnauzer and she was able to handle him just fine. She is very communicative and friendly!”
“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.”
“Marcelina was amazing! Left everything as she found it and cleaned up when the pups had accidents! She was always on time and didn't hesitate to ask any questions!! I will be booking again!”
“Joseph took great care of our babies! They are not the easiest to take care of but Joseph did an amazing job communicating and taking care of all their needs. He gave us great piece of mind.”
About: ever since I was 10, i’ve always taken care of dogs, whether it’s my own, or someone else’s. I I have tons of experience with puppies to senior dogs, and I always make sure to have the owner on speed dial whenever there’s possible questions or emergencies towards their pets. I’m an active person, so walking dogs isn’t a problem for me. I’ve always believed that dogs should get the same amount of exercise as us to keep them healthy, promotes better movement, and overall happiness for pets. As of right now, my schedule is completely free in the afternoon, especially on the weekends. The only days that I’m not available are major holidays. when it comes to supervising animals, I always make sure to give them my full attention. I make sure to have them in the room with me, and take the time to make sure to take them out to use the restroom every hour or two.
About: Dogs have been the light and joy of my life since I was born, but when I was 10 I finally got a dog to call my own! After our family dog had puppies and refused to nurse, I spent countless days and nights bottle feeding her litter until I proved to my parents I could keep one for myself. After that, I potty trained, socialized, played with, and took that puppy on walks all by myself. Since then she’s unfortunately passed over the rainbow bridge, but friends and family constantly entrust the care of their dogs to me while they’re away! I’ve spent a lot of time with all breeds of dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with dementia, and I love them and care for them all like they’re my own. I’m currently a paraprofessional for the SPED department of an elementary school, but I’m hoping to spend the summer caring for your fur-babies! School starts back up August 4, so until then I’ll be completely free to tend to any and all of your baby’s needs day and night. When it comes to caring for your babies in their own homes, I know there are two different levels of trust that need to be earned: trusting someone with your pets and trusting someone in your home. I take both responsibilities very seriously. I am more than willing and capable of adhering to any rules, routines, or special instructions you may have, and I will do my best to keep your pets on the schedule they know and love. Whether that means feeding times, medication administration, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to making their time without you as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I have my own reliable transportation and can arrive on time for scheduled visits, check-ins, or overnight stays. I will also keep you updated with messages, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, loved, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most secure—their home. My goal is for you to return to happy pets, a well-maintained home, and complete confidence in the care they received.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hockley
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.

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!

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.
