About: I grew up with dogs. I started walking/pet sitting at a young age. I have been a vet tech for 6 years now. So I am very familiar with the care of our precious fur babies. I work 3, 12 hour shifts a week. So on my off days I have a lot of time on my hands for drop in visits or walks! Living in Texas it is extremely hot outside. My own pups have long fur. They are only allowed for walks early in the morning or in the evening. As a vet tech, I’ve seen plenty of heat strokes. I want my babies and yours to be safe. We spend a lot of time inside, playing, food puzzles to keep them busy!
About: Dogs are wonderful companions with so much love to give. They truly become part of the family, and each one has a unique personality that makes them special! Whether your dog is staying in our home, enjoying a walk, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always the same—to provide loving, dependable care so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. For boarding guests, a typical day is active, playful, and full of attention. Our children absolutely love the furry friends who stay with us, so it's important that your pup is comfortable around kids, too. While you're away, your dog won't simply be boarded—they'll become part of our family's daily routine. Whether we're heading to the park, going for a walk, or spending time together at home, your pup will be right there with us. If you've booked dog walks or in-home pet care, you can rest assured your pet will receive the same thoughtful attention. I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, affection, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you're back home. To help every guest feel comfortable, I do have a few house rules for boarding. Dogs are not allowed on the couches or beds, but they certainly won't miss out on affection! We happily spend plenty of time on the floor giving belly rubs, cuddles, and lap time whenever they want extra love. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog will be welcomed, cared for, and treated like one of our own. After caring for many dogs, I've learned that keeping things simple and maintaining excellent hygiene creates the best experience for everyone. Before your dog's stay, please consider the following: Bring your dog's leash and harness. Pack enough food for the entire stay, along with their food bowl. Please bring plenty of poop bags. We enjoy frequent walks, and all that exercise often means more potty breaks than usual! When it comes to toys, blankets, and other personal belongings, less is often better. Dogs sharing a home can sometimes become protective of their favorite items, so packing lightly helps create a calmer and safer environment for everyone. If possible, please bathe your dog before boarding. Freshly bathed dogs are more comfortable for themselves and the other guests. Also, keep in mind that blankets, beds, and toys can hold odors if they haven't been washed recently. Thank you for taking the time to review these guidelines. I truly appreciate your help in making every pet's experience safe, clean, and enjoyable. Whether your companion is staying with us, enjoying a walk, or being cared for at home, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Safe travels! Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. In my home, pets become part of the household and are cared for just like my own—following our natural rhythm of meals, walks, playtime, rest, and evening wind-down with consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. For check-ins and home visits, I plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring timely visits for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I make sure each visit is unrushed and focused, maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority. I provide a loving, family environment with daily walks, supervised play in our fenced dog park, and a secure gated indoor area when needed. For check-ins and home visits, I ensure timely, attentive care with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship to keep your pet comfortable and on routine while you’re away.
“Reyna was awesome! This was the first time I left my babies with someone other than family and she was great. My dog can be stubborn and my cats are a nightmare to feed and she did an awesome job! Would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Lakesha was great! She is friendly, kind, and professional. She came each day we requested her and even included photos of our cats. Her timely responses and detailed updates helped also!”
“What a fantastic experience with Alejandro and Keyla! They were responsible and communicative. My dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I usually try to leave basic info regarding their dogs and their care not to overwhelm sitters, but went above and beyond each day even bringing in a package I had forgotten was on the way and offering to add vegetables to yheir food when they noticed I usually do that. They were lovely people amd great to work with. Will definitely book again ❤️”
About: With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals. I’ve raised my own pets from puppyhood and understand how to support different energy levels and personalities. My two miniature schnauzers are playful and social, making them wonderful companions for visiting dogs. I stand out because I’m attentive, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun environment where every pet feels at home. I work in the school district, so my schedule is very flexible during weekends, school closures, and holidays. I’m also available on some evenings during the week. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to help whenever my schedule allows. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. My home is clean and dog‑friendly, and I introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone feels relaxed. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly, keep doors and gates secure, and give your pet calm, consistent care.
About: Hello! I’ve always had dogs in my life since childhood. Let me know what you need! :) I’m pretty flexible and available on the weekends. I’m off on the weekends and Friday afternoons. So let me know if that fits what you need and we can plan it. Thank you! I have a fenced in yard and have no other pets at the moment. I’m also available to come to you on the weekends or Friday afternoons.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with my parrot I’ve had since I was 8, along with growing up with cats and a dog. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, becoming someone they trust to care for their pets like my own. I have experience with cats, dogs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with a good understanding of pet behavior. I also provide updates and follow all care instructions to make sure both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that I manage myself. On weekdays, I’m typically available after 5 PM, and on weekends after 6–7 PM. I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays. I always make time to prioritize the pets in my care and can accommodate consistent routines, drop-ins, walks, or extended visits as needed. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to best fit your pet’s schedule and needs. I create a calm, safe, and loving space where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. At home, I have one cat who is very well cared for and enjoys a relaxed, free-roaming environment. When caring for your pet, I treat them like my own—keeping their routine consistent, following your instructions closely, and making sure they feel secure and stress free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I have grown up a dog lover and when my daughter decided she wanted to be a vet, I became more than a dog lover but an overall, animal lover. I will take care of your animal as if it is my own and be sure to communicate relevant and important information to you as soon as possible. I provide a loving home if you animal(s) need overall care and am respectful of homes if you just need drop in service. It is also important to me to clean up after pets and if only doing dog walking services, to make sure they have had a good walk and a bit of exercise. I want you to receive value for your hard earned money.Love is my language, let me talk to your pets! We love pets! I am currently working from home so your pets will not be left unattended except for an occasional errand run and even then it will be no more than 1-2 hours, if that. I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys and love to give your beloved pet. We can also crate animals as needed and can play soothing bedtime music at night for their comfort.
“Stephanie was great! She understood how shy my cat was and did her best to make him comfortable and hang out! She was great with communication and got all the tasks I asked done! Thanks again Stephanie!”
About: I have pet sit since 2019, I love pets and the emotional support they provide. I help with potty breaks, feeding and getting the pets settled for their night time routine. Full time work, so I can pet sit part time, come over after work hours, stay in the home with them each night. I have experience since 2018. Walks, feeding, play and potty breaks, I can help administer medication to pets if they need additional care. I stay at the home with them so they know they are safe with their sitter.
About: Caring for animals isn't just something I do it's something I truly love. It all started with my first job as a dog bather, where I learned how to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. That passion grew into earning my Veterinary Assistant license in high school, followed by two years of hands on experience as a Kennel Technician first at a boarding facility, then at a veterinary clinic caring for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Let's set up a meet and greet so I can start spoiling your pet! 🐶🐱 I’m currently freelancing, which means I have plenty of availability for daily walks, drop-in visits, and home care the perfect way for your pet to get all the attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away! 🐾 I'll keep your dog or cat's routine steady with feeding, playtime, and lots of love, while your home stays clean and cozy. I'll send photos and videos along the way, so you always have a little smile waiting for you. 🐾📸💕
About: Animals are a huge part of my life, and I will treat your pet like they are my own. My priorities are keeping them safe, well cared for, and given lots of attention. As a retired firefighter, I have been tasked with helping others and will do the same for your pet! I will pick up and deliver for your pet for a $10 fee. After 10+ years of fire fighting, taking care of pets has become my full time job. 100% of my focus is on caring for your pet and ensuring they are safe and well cared for in your absence. My home is very pet-friendly. I have a backyard/deck where I can sit with your animals as they enjoy the outdoors. My yard is fenced and well-secured. I have plenty of toys/balls that I can provide your pet with exercise and stimulation.

Stephanie took wonderful care of my pets! She was caring, responsible, and attentive to their needs. I felt comfortable knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
She took wonderful care of our dog Mambo! We usually have had family care for our elderly dog while we are gone. They have been unable to lately and so we decided to find a sitter. We were very nervous as he has arthritis and is just a nervous dog sometimes. We felt so comfortable and happy on our trip knowing he was in good hands! He was comfortable in our own home, and she came to the house as scheduled for the full time. She sent us detailed messages with photos. We are very happy and plan to rebook. Thank you!!! 😊
Jenna was absolutely amazing with Hammi! She was so caring, attentive, and reliable during the drop-in visits, and we could tell from all the pictures and updates that Hammi was really comfortable and happy with her. 🐶❤️ It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the time, care, and love she gave him. We would definitely recommend Jenna and would love to have her look after Hammi again!
We had such a great experience with her watching our two dogs! She was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and clearly cared for them like they were her own. She went above and beyond for our dogs in every way, including advocating for Cash and making sure his best interests were always the priority when dealing with a third party. That meant so much to us and really showed how seriously she takes the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets. Both of our dogs came home happy, healthy, and very clearly well-loved. She kept us updated, was responsive whenever we needed her, and handled everything with so much care and attention. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, caring, and willing to go the extra mile for your pets, I can’t recommend her enough!
We were so lucky to have found Marisol as a back up to our other Rover sitter. We have used her twice and have her scheduled for two more visits. She read and followed the instructions in our dogs profile and even brought in a package for us! Our dog was happy when I arrived home from work!
We had a great experience with Madeline! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and made the whole process stress free. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept us updated regularly and was always quick to respond. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands.
Ashlyn is the best ever! Our dog, Zelda, immediately fell in love with her and she is generally a very shy puppy. She takes the perfect photos of our baby and makes sure that all Zelda’s needs are met. I highly recommend Ashlyn! She is very professional and i’m glad that we have her to give our Zelda some love!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Katy choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
