House Sitting in Hufsmith

“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”

“I cannot recommend Catherine enough! As someone using the Rover app for the first time, I was a bit nervous about leaving my two pups, but Catherine made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She kept me updated and put my mind completely at ease while I was away. What truly sets Catherine apart is how she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care. One of my dogs requires daily medication, and Catherine handled it with such diligence and patience, ensuring she never missed a dose. It is such a relief knowing my pets were in such capable, loving hands. She is wonderful with both of them, and I’m so grateful I found her!”

“Ariel was amazing with my baby!! I will definitely be booking with her again. She kept me updated the entire time and even sent me pictures throughout my vacation. My dog really enjoyed her company and was happy every time she came. She answered all my questions and was very quick with responding. Thank you so much Ariel for watching Kaine!!!!”

“Sherry was great! Very responsive, asked good questions, and answered promptly. Took good care of our two high-energy pups! Our home was neat and tidy, just like we left it. No problems or concerns. She was great to work with! Will use her again next time we’re headed out of town!”

“Emma has house-sat my cats twice for extended periods. She keeps me updated with photos and asks questions if needed. She’s easy to communicate with and responds promptly. My cats always have a blast with her and are well cared for and loved. On top of that, she leaves my place in the same or even better condition than when I left. As an anxious person and loving pet parent, I usually stress about leaving my kitties. However, when Emma is watching my babies, I’m not even worried because I know they’re in excellent hands!”

Morgan Z.

“I appreciate Avery taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. He did a great job of communicating with us throughout our time away. He sent us photos of the dogs and let us know they were fine. We will definitely reach out to Avery again!”

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life for many years, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and high-energy breeds, each with their own unique personalities and needs. My experience includes fostering puppies, helping rescue and rehabilitate abandoned dogs, administering oral medications, reinforcing training, potty training puppies, and providing attentive day-to-day care through walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I have also cared for senior dogs who required extra patience, accommodations, and medication management. One of the things I enjoy most is getting to know each dog’s individual personality. Some dogs need structure and exercise, while others need patience, reassurance, and time to build trust. I adapt my approach to each dog while maintaining the routines and expectations established by their family. I believe great pet care goes beyond feeding and walks. I focus on creating a safe, enriching, and positive experience through structured walks, mental stimulation, play, and plenty of attention. I also provide frequent updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. My long-term goal is to continue expanding my knowledge of canine behavior and training. Every dog teaches me something new, and I love the opportunity to learn from them while providing the care, consistency, and companionship they deserve. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive when caring for pets. Because I spend much of my day at home, I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and plenty of supervision. I want to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and do my best to maintain the routines that help dogs feel secure, comfortable, and relaxed. During walks, I stay fully attentive to the dog(s) and my surroundings. I avoid using my phone unless absolutely necessary, and if I need to check it for something important, we take a short break to ensure the dog’s safety remains my full focus. I also use safe handling practices at all times. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, affection, and any medications or special care they may require. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide regular updates and photos to help you feel connected and confident while you’re away.

“Bryanna was amazing. Drax loved having her around ! Communication was great and kept us updated in a timely manner. Will definitely have her back.”

“Wendy was wonderful! She responded very quickly, sent photos and helped ease our older dog’s anxiety while we went on vacation. We highly recommend Wendy!”

“Kristin was absolutely amazing. Would 10/10 recommend. She got our skiddish cat to even cuddle with her on her first visit. Will definitely be using her again!!!”

Erin F.

“Sophia is amazing! She took excellent care of our Johnny boy and of our home. She has a fun personality and is so kind. Johnny loved her instantly! I loved all the pictures and videos she sent while we were away. Even some on the Ring doorbell camera. 😂 We will absolutely be hiring her again!”

About: I am an A&M student studying ecology & conservation biology. I have always had animals (cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, fish) and rode horses for 10 years as well! I’m my friend’s and family’s go-to animal person, though I’m new to Rover. I can do active, medications, bad behavior, seniors, injuries/wounds, the works! I'm flexible to do whatever is needed and I care just as much as you do. Im also open to discussing care for animals that aren’t cats or dogs. I'm very rooted in problem solving and hopefully even having your pet better than you left them. Hit me up! I'll take care of it. My availability is always varied. As I’m in school, my schedules change by day, week and semester constantly. My calendar and booking slots are always updated. Usually, my Rover page is most active in the summer and winter I care for pets in their own homes where they feel safest. I follow instructions closely, keep everything clean, and pay close attention to your pet’s needs and body language. I’ve spent lots of time learning about ways pets communicate. You know your pet best, so I’ll respect your guidance while making sure they get the love and attention they deserve.

“This was my first time ever using the rover app and was super happy with the experience. Olivia was amazing and did so well with my animals. She even got my shy cat to come out and be social. Olivia was great at communication and kept me well updated along with photos of my babies having fun!”

Lanycia H.

“Stacy took great care of my fur baby! She sent me daily updates and pictures of him, and made sure to spend so much time giving him attention. This was my first time leaving Bentley, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in such great hands! She even took him on extra walks, and I couldn’t be more grateful :)”

“Terri was amazing! Came through in a pinch, took care of my little puppy in a house-sitting situation, and did a fantastic job. Highly recommended.”

Jesse C.

“Abby did a great job taking care of my little girl Millie. She stayed all night and most of the day as she was able to work from home using my Wi-Fi. She walked her and fed her twice a day. I’ve never left her alone overnight before as I’ve only had her five months now and I didn’t want her to be lonely so I felt comfortable leaving her with Abby. Millie seem very comfortable with Abby from the start she was very friendly with Milly. Abby would send me pictures,and Millie looked very happy. Communication went well and responded immediately. I will definitely use Abby again in the future when needed and would highly recommend her for anyone with their pets. She seems to really love animals and enjoy taking care of them.”

“Sandra was so great and took such wonderful care of our three big dogs and our home! She is so kind and caring, and our fur babies just loved her. She kept us updated with texts and pics during our week-long trip. We arrived back home to happy pups and a clean home! We couldn't have asked for more, and we look forward to having Sandra help us again in the future!”

Amanda M.

“Claudia was fantastic to work with and provided excellent care to my pup as well as housesitting! Great communication, I highly recommend and will use her again!”

About: I have around 8 years of pet sitting experience and have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, and more! My family has 5 dogs of various sizes and breeds, so I am comfortable with dogs of any kind. I also grew up with four cats and have around 5 years of cat sitting experience. I am a college student home for the summer, and I’m currently only working part time - this leaves me with lots of available time for your pets! I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and dispositions. I am comfortable administering medication, and I have experience working with anxious pups as well as some mildly aggressive dogs. I am also able to provide references upon request! I only work part time and can provide overnight care in your house! I am willing to make as many visits to your pet as you are comfortable with. While I cannot offer boarding services in my home, I am able to provide whatever care you would like in your pet’s normal environment! I am a punctual and dedicated worker with experience caring for all sorts of animals.

“Adriana did a fantastic job caring for my dogs. This was a challenging assignment because my dogs are very high energy and it rained quite a bit while she was sitting. I came home to a spotless home and clean happy dogs. Towels to dry the dogs were washed and folded as were the bed sheets. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I will certainly use her again and recommend her to others.”
