“Mary was great. Super communicative the whole time. Even when her schedule shifted, she let me know right away and was able to come a little earlier, which I really appreciated. This was my first time using Rover, and she definitely set a great first impression. Will absolutely book again.”

About: Hi! I am Katelyn- a wife, a mom of four kids, and a life long animal lover. I truly believe pets are part of the family. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and over the years I’ve fostered countless animals and spent time working in animal rescue. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like I would my own. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to shy or nervous pets, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐾❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets! Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love being able to spend time with animals throughout the day. I can easily accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and pet care around my family’s schedule. I always prioritize making sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! We are not able to watch pets in our home at this time. We have four little ones, two dogs, and a cat- it’s a full house!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
