“Very easy to coordinate and communicate. Leslie sends informative updates and photos. Dogs were well taken care of. Absolutely my go to sitter. The layout of the house is very dog friendly. They settled in quickly and had the whole house to themselves. Leslie is amazing to go extra mile to create home away from home replicating all home conditions for dogs.”

“Zoraya was amazing with my little Duke! She made me feel completely at ease while I was away for 2 weeks, sending plenty of photos and videos. Truly his second home 🫶🏼”

“Leigh always does an excellent job caring for my cat. She is on time with pickup and drop off and she sends cute pictures of my cat! I can tell she treats him like her own. Leaving your pet with a stranger can be so scary but Leigh is someone who has been proven to be trustworthy. I will continue to board my cat with Leigh, she is a great pet sitter!”

“My little guy excitedly jumped out the car to greet Randy when he saw him again. It’s extremely comforting to know that he’s being well cared for. Thank you!!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Roux with Alexis. Communication was always prompt. Plenty of pictures and updates were provided. I would 100% let Roux stay with Alexis again.”

“Very happy! My dog had a great time, was well taken care of, and if i could I would give this a 10/5 star review! Thank you for everything you did and for taking such good care of Dr Erickson!”

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Marcela and Michelle were responsive, attentive, and thorough with our pups! They went above and beyond to cater to our pups' allergies and activity levels, catering to their different needs with the focus and care of true pet-lovers and experts. I usually have nagging thoughts and worries about whether my pups are happy while I'm away, but not this time! Their first stay with Marcela and Michelle let me fully relax knowing that they were in caring and capable hands - it's such a luxury to have connected with them!”

“Kevin and Brian were great! Sam stayed over a weekend, and he looked content in the pictures Kevin sent. He also let us know how Sam ate, because he's been a bit picky recently. We were very pleased, and will definitely book again!”

“Lidia took great care of my two dogs! She is very communicative, sending photos and videos! This is the second time she has watched my dogs and will definitely be using her again!”

“Jocelyn is the best. Have left my pups, including my anxious Max, with Jocelyn multiple times, most recently for 16 days when I went overseas. I never worry when they are with her and I am so grateful for all the love she shows them and the frequent photo updates.”

“We haven't had the best experience with dog boarding, so we were a bit nervous coming in, but as soon as we met Amy and Chelsea, we felt so comfortable and stress-free leaving our baby with them for the weekend. Cappie loved them, and they weren't bothered by her puppy energy. They sent plenty of photos and videos over the weekend, which again helped us feel relaxed about having her away from us. They were also very flexible and great communicators. We immediately booked them again for a long trip we have coming up. Amy and Chelsea - we SO appreciate the care and attention you gave to Cappie. It’s clear how much you love what you do, and it shows in every interaction. We can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and communicative sitters. Thank you for treating Cappie like family. We’re so glad to have found you!”

“Mariyana you are the best! Smokey really enjoyed his time with you while I was out of town. Thanks for all the pictures, videos, and updates. I will for sure rebook with you in the near future! Thank you!”

“It was a great overall experience. Ximena met with myself and Remi at a local park so that he could get used to being around her. She was really communicative leading up to the stay and sent a ton of photos/videos throughout. Remi came home tired, but very happy! Will definitely be using Ximena again.”

“Brittany took awesome care of our pup Chloe. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and ensured Chloe had the best care. I will definitely be calling her in the future to take care of our pup.”

Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Leslie and she was beyond fantastic! She really took the time to understand each of my dogs needs and took great care of them both. She sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell they both felt comfortable and right at home. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was gone was a huge relief and Poptart and Wally would be so excited to go back!
Natali did an amazing job with my precious baby! He is worn out but clean (it’s a pet peeve of mine when my dog returns dirty or stinky) and seems like he really enjoyed his stay. Plus, Natali was very responsive and flexible! Will be using her again in the future!

Jordyn was amazing with my dog. She tends to be a little anxious, but Jordyn had her playing with other dogs and really building her confidence. I loved that she kept me abreast of how my dog was doing by sending descriptive texts and photos. I would definitely let Jordyn sit my Chilly again!

We’ve booked Preetika to watch our husky Nova a couple times and we’re so happy we did. You can tell Preetika has experience with dogs and sends lots of pictures to put you at ease while you’re away. Nova looks like she’s having the best time when she’s there. We will be booking with Preetika again in the future.

Stephanie was amazing with our two fur babies. They really seemed to enjoy their time there (as evidenced by all the videos and pictures she sent) and I really think she treated them as her own during that time, which is all I can really ask for. I'm so thankful we've found her!

Thank you so much Laura for taking fantastic care of Benny while we were away! We were super nervous to find a Rover in Houston since we are new to the area but we loved having Laura watch Benny. She did a great job of keeping us updated on what he was doing and we could tell he really enjoyed playing with her two dogs. Thank you again!!
