“Allie took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were away. Knowing our elderly dog was comfortable, and taken care of with our young pup was super important. Thanks, Allie! You're awesome.😎”
“Raylin did an outstanding job caring for our pups while I was out of town. Jaxon & Maggie seemed happy & content when I returned home after 5 days. I would highly recommend Raylin!”

“Jessica was amazing & my 2 dogs & cat were well cared for while we were out of town. I have never left my pets with anyone they didn’t know before but, after meeting with Jessica & getting feedback while we were gone they were all happy & getting lots of love & attention which made our trip so much more enjoyable. She came over prior to our trip to get the run down of their schedule & needs. She took the time to answer any questions & made me feel very comfortable our pets would be well cared for. The communication during our trip was excellent & we received updates & photos. Our house was even well cared for & clean when we retuned & all pets were happy as if we were not even gone! I would highly recommend her & will use her again!”

“Katie is absolutely amazing to work with, we needed a last minute house sit with our 6 year old golden retriever/newfoundland mix, and she was so accommodating and went above and beyond to set up a last minute meet and greet! She took such good care of our sweet boy and provided frequent updates. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Jaclyn is a life saver! Not only did she agree to a last minute booking, she went above and beyond to ensure our babies were well taken care of! They were all comfortable with her, which put our minds at ease, and we absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with their babies!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since before I can remember, family and family friends relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and petsit their dogs knowing I loved it! I’ve worked with all size dogs and all personalities! I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have classes for 2 hours out of the day on weekdays but open availability after 12pm and I’m completely free on weekends! I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar environment. I stick closely to your pets usual routine so everything feels normal while you’re away! I will make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise! I also will send regular updates and photos if wanted! My overall goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved!
“Melissa was amazing!! Extremely communicative, flexible to our needs, and super reliable! Our animals (2 dogs and 1 cat) loved her, and when we got back from our trip, the house was just as clean as when we left. Would definitely book again and recommend Melissa’s services.”

“I need to start this review with a caveat. I am a helicopter fur baby mom and had never left our six year old miniature schnauzer with anyone other than his grandma before. I say this to say that I was extremely apprehensive about leaving him and had very high expectations for the care he would receive. Gabrielle came out the day before spent time getting to know our sweet Patton and to make sure she understood his routine and level of care expected. She made me feel right at ease. Yesterday she shared her location with me so I could see where they were at all times and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. I am so grateful for the care she gave to our sweet Patton and his cousin Tula. She truly goes above and beyond. Thank you Gabrielle for being so amazing and easy to work with!❤️”

“Jack was amazing. My dogs took to him right away. They were relaxed and unstressed the whole time we were gone. Jack set photos and updates daily. It was so nice to have someone that cares for the fur babies as much as you do. I will absolutely use him again and a sitter.”


About: I can walk dogs pick up after them and feed them. I can clean up after cats and make sure everyone gets social time in. I recently graduated and am looking for a permanent job. I am perfect for making sure your pet receives enough walks/ love everyday they are with me. I have one cat and I live in an apartment. There’s a dog park in the complex and I can take them to the local dog parks as well.
“Sara was amazing with our little 16 year old Chihuahua mix. She was very attentive and did everything that we asked of her for our senior dog. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”

“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”


About: I’ll treat your best friend like they're my own! My own doggies gets pampered and spoiled daily! I am a stay at home mom at the moment, enjoying time with my 3 month old son. He will be with me the whole time, so for house sitting, walks and drop in visits, it will be the two of us. It is important to me that he grows up loving and respecting animals. I have an 8 year old Basset Hound and a 3 year old Border Collie who love to play, so for daycare and boarding, they'll have a little krewe to enjoy time with. I love all sorts of activities so if your dog likes to run or just cuddle on the couch, I am up for whatever! I grew up around animals my whole life and often watched my neighbors and friend pets while they were out of town. I would love to help make sure you don't have to worry while you're away from your best friend! I will send you picture updates so you know your baby is happy and being taken good care of. We have a fenced in yard so there is plenty of play time here! I am a stay at home mom, so I am available any time, as long as you are okay with me bringing my son along. Your dogs care is my #1 concern. Anything you need or want while they’re in my care, I will do to make sure they’re happy and safe. I have experience with both super senior dogs who need diapers and meds administered, as well as puppies who need help being trained. Just let me know what your needs are!
About: With 7+ years of pet care experience (excluding my own childhood pets) I have gone through a variety of experiences! I’ve worked with dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, frogs, and geckos! I am a full time college student with many breaks throughout the day and lots of availability at night! Also perfect for lunchtime walks or weekend house sitting! I’ve done anything from just coming by to feed them meals to staying multiple nights in a clients home! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind taking them places(such as a vet or dog park) and love every moment I get with any animal!
About: Trying to transition into the semi-retirement phase of life. I have always loved animals and our family has owned many sweet pets over the years. These include a Labrador Retriever, rabbit, mini Schnauzer, aquatic frog, several goldfish, and a mini Dachshund. As an empty nester, I presently own a precious eight year old black teddybear Schnoodle named Bentley that I truly adore. He became my best "furriend" the day I brought him home. My career as an elementary school teacher lasted 21 years. Several years in between the first and last 10 were spent as a stay-at-home mom to my now 3 adult children. Currently, I work as a substitute elementary teacher plus part-time at a local restaurant. My Rover calendar has 7 days of availability. I will do my very best to give the pet(s) in my care what I would want for my own. At this time, I will not offer pet sitting in my home, unless it’s a small nonshedding dog. However, I will gladly come to your home and care for your pet(s). I will love on, play with, feed, pet, and care for other’s pets the same way that I enjoy and care for my own dog.
“Bo did a great job with my two dogs and a turtle when I had to go out of town for a few days. She treats them like they are her own pets. She is very kind. She left my house as clean or cleaner than when I left. She is great at communicating and giving updates. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Kimberly. I little about me, I have been a volunteer for dog rescue groups for a over 9 years, so I've gotten to meet many different kinds of pups and fosters. Your baby will be safe and loved with me! Our yard is large and away from the street, we're always getting new toys and have a teenager helper. I have 2 personal dogs, Koopa and Charlie. They are night and day, Koopa loves to play and Charlie just wants love and food. I allow sleeping in the bed if that's what they're use to and they have free range of the rest of the house. I also use to volunteer for Dogs on Deployment; we would board military for free while their owners are deployed, at training or other situations. If this sounds like the kind of house your dog would like, shoot me a massage! I'd be happy to help! Flexible and chill environment. I understand dogs make messes, wreck things and have accidents... Not cool, but they're animals! No beatings or terrible punishments here. That's my biggest fear taking my two somewhere. 'what if they act like jerks?' Haha it's ok here! We're use to it! I make my own schedule and do a lot of work from home so, your pet won't be locked in a cage or ignored for long periods. My guy and teen helps too. I have a fenced yard and two friends to keep your pet company! They won't be bored or lonely. And I send pictures daily, to keep you updated.
Houstonville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Blane is outstanding!! She went above and beyond to keep our 3 cats happy and entertained and left our home in even better condition than when we left. She was so attentive and I felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. She was professional and paid attention to details. I highly recommend Blane and we will definitely hire her again. 🐈⬛💕

Daisy was a God send for us. At the last minute we had to find someone who could watch Rowdy. Daisy was available, answered promptly, very courteous and has great communication skills. We never had to worry one minute about our baby being took care of. I highly recommend Daisy for anyone's sitting needs..

Had a great experience with Brooke with my frenchie, Rocco. She sent texts and photo updates showing Rocco having fun and taking good walks. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and can tell she spent quality time with him. I will definitely be booking with Brooke again!
