About: Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a proud mama to 2 rescued weenie dogs. My husband and I just moved to Alaska! If anyone asks, I’m obsessed with all things dog and have a dachshund collection that’s over 50 items! Ha! I’m doing this mainly to find more dogs to love on and a bit of extra cash to help pay off loans. I promise I’ll love your dog like my own. I’m a very active runner so Ill be happy to walk/jog even the most playful pups! It would mean a lot if you considered me as your pup’s play date! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Hope to see you soon! Happy tails! I do work full-time but have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to take care of your pups. Just let me know what you need and we can figure something out! We have plenty of space and always watch our dogs when they're outside. We treat our pups like they are little humans, so your pup will easily be spoiled.
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and I specialize in caring for small dogs in my home. I have a small dog of my own, so I truly understand the unique needs of little pups and how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and protected. Because I have experience with small breeds, I’m very mindful about their safety. Small dogs can be more vulnerable to things like larger animals, big birds, or unsafe outdoor environments, so I always closely supervise outdoor time and make sure they’re in a secure, controlled area. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here. I focus on providing a calm, attentive environment where small dogs can relax, play safely, and receive plenty of attention and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home full time so I will be available to be with your pup all day and give all the care he or she needs! Safety is my top priority — pets are always supervised, introductions are done slowly and carefully, and I follow each owner’s routines and preferences. I keep a clean, pet-friendly home, provide comfortable rest areas, and can crate your dog if requested. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of all sizes of dogs for about 8 months now. My family and family friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies. Feeding them, giving them their meds, and following a daily routine (given from family of the dog) were all apart of things I’ve had to do as a dog house sitter. I have a job, I work about 6hour shifts at least 5 days a week and my schedule changes every week.I do school online so I will be able to do it whenever I have free time. BUT I am almost done with school and will be graduating in May. I would care for your pets by taking them outside, playing with them, feeding them, bathing them if necessary, and giving medicine if also necessary.
About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!
About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I can provide a crate, if desired - I do request that your dog be crate-trained and I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I see it as my job and make it a priority to provide a professional peaceful experience. Between my partner and I we have experience ranging from but not limited to dogs exotic animals live stock and more. I serve from homer to big lake. Also my partner is a handy man that can provide grounds keeping, maintance, welding, construction, etc if necessary I treat this as my full time job. Building genuine relationships with the clients as well as the pets is a priority as well as providing peace of mind,personal touch, and professional experience. I provide in the pets home. I feel keeping them in their element is important. I adhere to their routine and provide a safe healthy environment for them as well as genuine companionship.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter 4 years ago was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats—I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I’m currently part time so I would have plenty of time to check in with your pets. My job is very flexible with breaks so I would still be able to check in halfway through the day. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: I have puppy sat for a couple years now. I love all animals and I’m very physically fit to take care of them. I can’t have a puppy of my own right now so I love taking care and spending time with them when I can. I’m available 24/7 right now. Animals can’t stay at my place, but I am free to stay with them overnight or whatever is needed. I can stay weekends as well. I can stay with the Dog/pup 24/7. I can stay overnight, take them on walks, any kind of care that is needed I can take care of.
About: I have worked in the pet sitting world for 10 years. I have cared for all types of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice & rats, ferrets, and hamsters. I am skilled in giving pet medication for your furry friends special needs. I have worked with dogs & cats of all ages and sizes. I can provide care for puppies that will need the extra TLC of frequent potty breaks, play time and even work on some training & obedience skills. I can provide long walks, dog runs, adventure days, quick potty breaks and dedicated play sessions for your pet. For smaller pets (rabbits, guinea pigs etc) I am familiar with the special care that comes with their needs as I have small pets of my own. I am always willing to work with the client and their pets needs. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! i am currently only doing pet sitting, so i am free to attend to needs through out the day + week. please reach out for availability! Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Houston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Houston.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Houston. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
