House Sitting in Houston Lake

“Elizabeth was great! We had never used a pet sitter before and I was slightly nervous despite the fact that my daughter owns an independent pet sitting service on the West Coast. Elizabeth exceeded our expectations and was a joy to work with. She sent us updates and photos throughout the week. Our cats are shy and she was able to bond with them. I really can't say enough great things about Elizabeth and her care for our pets. I'll definitely use her again!”

“Lori is officially Aunt Lori to Barley. We've had Lori watch Barley 5, times this summer? We can tell how loved Barley is while we are gone because when we come home, she's just like- oh heeey my other parents. Cool! Lori is family. She loves our pup and we are forever grateful that she keeps taking us on.”

“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Wendy was great with all 4 of our young crazy fur-babies. Even our super shy one warmed up to her in no time. We would definitely use Wendy again!”

“Ellie did an amazing job house sitting Zeke for the weekend! It was great to see the photo updates and I could tell Zeke was happy the whole time. Zeke really enjoyed all of the time Ellie spent with him, and I she did the best dog sitting job one could ask for.”

“Samantha was very quick to respond, easy to work with, and understood the care needs for our pups. She sent a few pictures and updates during her stay, we would definitely book her again!”

“Kelsey is by far the BEST dog sitter we have EVER had!!! She went above and beyond every single day with both our boys with walks, play time, feedings, potty, etc. We know this because she was so communicative and sent pictures/videos anytime she was with them. This was huge because it gave us that comfort while out of town that they were in the best hands (honestly maybe even better!!). We ended up having some travel issues that caused us to be gone for another day and even though I know she’s busy, Kelsey took care of our boys without missing a beat! She’s the best to work with, super consistent and our dogs absolutely love her. We wish there were more stars to give because 5 doesn’t even seem like enough!”

“Paola was so attentive to our beloved Kona. She went above and beyond day after day, very consistent with check-in and photos, so we could see our dog as she even offered to clean up around the house a little bit and do anything that needed done while we were away of all of the rovers, I’ve tried this has without a doubt been our best experience. Quit looking for other rovers just go ahead and book Paola with confidence.”

“Lilly was so great! She kept me updated with photos and stayed responsive throughout the stay. She left my home as she found it and even took the trash out! There was a crazy storm during her stay and she assured me the pups were safe and well cared for. Would love to use Lilly again!”

“Here’s a polished, glowing review you can use: ⸻ Laurie was absolutely incredible! She stepped in for us at the very last minute and handled everything with such calm professionalism. Our dog, Archer, can be a bundle of nerves, but Laurie had the patience of a saint. She treated him with so much kindness and understanding. We are so grateful for her flexibility, her gentle approach, and the genuine care she showed. Highly recommend Laurie to anyone—especially those with anxious or high-energy pups. She’s truly the best!”

Stacy K.

“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”

Kim B.

“She was amazing with our dogs! Our house and dogs were both very well taken care of. Will definitely use as often as available after doing such a great job!”

“At our meet and greet, my first impression of Daniel was, he has a very calm demeanor. Murphy is a very large and energetic dog. Daniel didn't flinch when he came barreling in towards him. He stayed with Pebbles and Murphy for 3 days. He was very early the first day. His communication is OUTSTANDING! I received so many pictures and updates. He even took out the trash! On one day, one of the dogs had vomited before he got here. He sent me pictures and asked what I'd like him to do. The next text I got said that he cleaned it all up, and that there were towels in the trash that he brought with him. He is so prepared, punctual, responsible, and trustworthy. I'm so glad I found him on Rover. I will most definitely book him again if he's willing to come back. I can't say enough good things about Daniel. I was able to relax and truly enjoy my time away with my new grandson and not worry about our fur babies. They were in excellent hands.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.

“Virginia has an amazing relationship with our doggo. We feel completely comfortable leaving him with her for the week. She was super diligent keeping him (and the house) clean with all of the rain showers. It's also fun to receive her updates with his photos!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs as well as watching my neighbors dogs. I am familiar with feeding, walking, playing, grooming, etc! I often take care of my neighbor’s two dogs who require me to feed them, play with them, walk them, and more. I’m a 4th year architecture student working on a furniture piece so my schedule is pretty open. I can drop in as needed or whatever we discuss works best for your furry friend! I love watching dogs and playing with them! I enjoy throwing toys for them, taking them outside, riding in the car, and just spending time with them in general.

“Breanna was great. Communicated well and sent pictures.”

“Wow! Allie went beyond the call. She sent photos, walked my dog each day, and my house was cleaned up when I got home! I cannot recommend Allie highly enough.”

About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was 12! I currently have three adopted dogs (one is a 1-year old!) and have experience providing in-home care for other dogs. I’ve done basic obedience training with all my dogs, and would be happy to work with yours. I have experience administering regular medication (orally only). I also go on short runs with my dogs. If you have a high-energy dog we can talk about that as an option! I work full-time. I am available mornings and evenings every day for drop-in visits. On weekends, I have full availability for drop ins. I also offer pet sitting. I’m always careful to respect a dog’s individual needs & boundaries. I’ll be sure to care for your pets (and your home) as I do my own. I’m happy to provide your dog with regular walks, runs, or company!
