“Natalie is fabulous! It’s so nice to be able to go on a trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. She played with them, she brushed them & she even told me what they were having for breakfast and dinner!!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a small child. There is nothing that warms my heart more than working with and helping animals. I’m eager for any opportunity. Compassion and patience are what it takes! I work M-F, which leaves me all weekend to dog or cat sit, go and do checkups and walks, or whatever is required. I’m up to learn and try anything. Respect, compassion, and patience. These three characteristics really define what a good dog and/or cat owner requires. There is nothing I enjoy more than walking my own dogs and playing with them. I do it everyday! Without animals life would be even more tough.
About: I am a certified service animal trainer with hands-on experience raising, handling, and training a service dog full-time from 8 weeks to 9 months old. During that time, I focused on obedience training, socialization, public access skills, daily care, and building strong positive behaviors in a variety of environments. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently care for dogs with different needs and personalities. I am passionate about providing attentive, loving, and reliable care to every pet as if they were my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available any time throughout the week for pet care needs. Caring for animals easily fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and have experience maintaining structured schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and training. Whether your pet needs early morning care, midday visits, or evening walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to accommodate different schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine consistent. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any needed potty breaks or exercise, all per your instructions. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions while making sure each dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need. With my background in service dog training and handling, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments and reinforcing good behaviors during visits and walks.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, ranging from large breeds like Mastiffs and German Shepherds to small dogs and cats. Additionally, my background working at a pet store gave me hands-on experience caring for rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles. I am available weekdays from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM for drop-in visits (feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime) or walks. Weekend availability is also available upon request. I will closely follow all care instructions and household rules to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Willing to pick up any pet waste/litter box maintenance as well.
“Marcelina is an excellent and sweet petsitter who is very attentive to details and very communicative towards pet owners. She took care of my cat, Nydia (who is very picky) and I could tell that Nydia loved her from the start. I am very happy with Marcelina's services, recommend her 1000% (yes, one thousand percent) and will definitely re-book to take care of my chonky cat!”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. 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.
About: With over 10 years of personal dog ownership, I’m experienced in feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing a structured, loving environment. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, giving me additional hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. Your pet will be treated like family in my care. I am a healthcare worker and work on 4/10 hour shifts matrix so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am also available on weekends and some evenings and can make late night drop ins. I treat every pet like family! Whether in my home or yours, I follow their routines, provide plenty of love, play, and walks, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
“I booked Maxine to do regular drop-in visits for my kitten for a few weeks & she has been amazing. Always on time, very communicative and flexible. She also gets the best pictures of my baby. I will be booking her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities; from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog and learning what makes them comfortable and happy. I want every pup to feel safe, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable environment where they can relax and enjoy their stay. I am very excited to have the opportunity to care for your furry family member with the same love that I have always cared for mine. Your dog isn’t just another booking, they become part of the family while they’re here! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a big part of my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time for the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and plenty of love throughout the day. I keep my schedule flexible so I can focus on each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I provide a clean, welcoming, and supervised environment where dogs can relax and feel right at home. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so I can give them the care they’re used to. From fresh water and regular potty breaks to playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention, I treat every pup like family while they’re in my care. 🐶❤️
About: My name is Joyce. I am recently retired and looking to enjoy life with what I love most, dogs. I just lost my senior dog and not yet ready for another pet. What better way to heal than taking care of other sweet furbabies. As a retired grandmother of four in my spare time I prefer snuggling up with a sweet pup. I am energetic, healthy and love taking long walks and playing fetch with dogs. I live in a small town home community right outside the Heights area with a nice patio and plenty of gated green space for animals to run, walk and play. Please consider me as your pet's caregiver and I promise to take special care of your dog or cat. :)
“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!”
“Jadyn was absolutely amazing with our pups. She was very flexible, and always showed up on time or even before she was asked to be there. Our elderly dog is pretty specific about who he lets come around him, and it seems like he had a good time with Jadyn!😁Will definitely be using her again, thank you for a wonderful experience Jadyn🫶🏻”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work as a pet bather and trainee, where I bathed, groomed, and safely handled dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for my own dog and recently fostered a dog for a week. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets patience and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the day and service needed. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and companionship rather than simply stopping by and leaving. I have experience caring for my own dog and fostering a dog for a week. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and treated with patience and care.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life of all sizes. Very patient and friendly with all fur babies. In our home they are apart of my family. I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is very flexible and I am very happy to make appointments to make sure they get the attention your fur babies deserve! I have experience with dogs beings off leashes trained as well as the ones that constantly need leashes so they don’t get into trouble. Playing in the yard or just butt scratches are a staple!
“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.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Emily Barrera and I have grown up surrounded by dogs for my entire life. I have been bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with my friends, family’s, and my own dogs ever sense I was little. My experience is that I was under a program to become a vet so I have also been an high school level vet assistant, which means I have taken courses where taking care of a dogs needs were the only grades. I have more than enough time and attention to give to your wonderful pups! I am available M, T, W, Th, Fri, from 7am-2pm. Sat and Sunday - all day!! I know how to respect one’s personal space especially knowing the trust you have in me to open your home and allow me to entertain and be there for your pups needs.
“We were very pleased with Amy’s reliability & attention to detail while dropping in on our 2 kitties. She went above and beyond for us by also helping a neighbor with a lost kitty, retrieving an unexpected package & cleaning up after the kitties as if they were her own. Sent us many pictures along the way that made us feel confident that our pets were in the very best hands. We will be re-booking with Amy in the very near future. Thanks again, Amy! 😊”
About: I’m an absolute animal-lover who has been helping to take care of dogs and cats since I could walk. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I’m super excited about the opportunity to hang out with your’s as often as you need! I’m very comfortable managing unique dietary needs, unusual schedules, and quirky four-legged personalities; whatever your needs, I’m sure we can figure it out! I have a very flexible, work from home schedule, so I will be home the large majority of the time I am caring for your baby. I live in an apartment complex that has a massive, wooded and fenced dog park. I’m happy to show you the apartment and/or dog in person, over FaceTime, or via photo. There are many other dogs who live around me, so please let me know if your dog should not be around others, and I will plan accordingly!

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!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
