We met before I completed the booking, and she got to meet the girls. Karen helped ease my nerves with her communication for during and after the visits.

About: I have been looking after dogs and cats for more than fifteen years and love all animals! My church family and neighbors often ask me to housesit for them because I am reliable and go above and beyond for their pets. I have extensive experience with all different dog and cat breeds and sizes, both old and young. I have experience with animals with special needs, like diabetes or anxiety medication. I keep your pets in their routine to minimize any distress and keep you updated about what we are up to. I’m a writer who works remotely. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can keep your pet’s usual routine going while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, overnights, or hanging out with them during the day, I here to make your life easier knowing your pets are safe and looked after. I always follow pet parents’ instructions exactly when it comes to a pet’s routine and safety needs, as well as making sure your home remains secure and your pet has a great time.
“Jazzlin is awesome. I have 2 small dogs and an elusive cat. One of my dogs is only 10 months old and can be a pain. Jazzlin did everything I asked her to do and more. I received daily pics including one that showed that my elusive cat had been under the covers on my bed haha. I will definitely use her again if she is available and highly recommend her to others.”
“Yilin watched our 3 cats for almost 2 weeks. She did a fantastic job. She arrived on time, took mat pictures and videos of our cats, and brought in packages left for us. She played with the cats and kept their litter and food area very clean. She is very friendly and cared for our babies as if they were her own. I would definitely hire Yilin again the next time we have to travel!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young! Dogs, cats, fish, & rabbits. You name it! With a family that traveled a lot they relied on me heavily to take care of our fur friends while they were gone. I first started Rover in San Diego and now I’m here in Houston! I’m a dog mom myself to my German Shepard named Rocky who is 5 now! While being in San Diego I had the privilege of working at a Top Rated Dog Daycare for almost 5 years before making my move to Texas! While working there I was able to expand my knowledge deeper on dog behaviors and dog handling. With of course knowledge on feedings, medication administration, dog walking, bathing, etc! I currently have my own business where I work from home on my phone which gives me the ability to be very flexible! My only obligation is I go to Church on Sundays! I’m currently accepting dog sitting in my own home now that I live in an apartment again! I also can dog sit in homes, but acceptance may vary depending on if I can arrange someone to watch my dog or if bringing my dog to your home is allowed! Aside from that, I will abide by whatever rules and schedules owners have set out for their furry pets!
About: I have pet sat for over 10 years. I have experience with in house sitting for weeks at a time. With that I took care of all responsibilities of the animals along with taking the dogs to the vet. I also have a dog of my own. She is a beagle mix who is 10 years old! I adopted her when she was 2 years old and we have been inseparable since! I’m currently working full time but have plenty of availability with my funky work schedule! So don’t be afraid to request any time or reach out to make our schedules work! I do not care for animals in my own home since I have my own pets, so only your home. To make your own animal feel comfortable and not worried around any other animals.
About: I have been a rescuer of pets (dogs, mostly) for the entirety of my life! Dogs, cats, chickens, birds, fish, rabbits, ducks, goats, lambs to name a few. I cannot imagine my life without pets! I would be honored if you trusted me with your fur-babies. I am about to retire, and am looking forward to doing something I've always dreamed of. I am looking forward making your time away easier for you both! I love animals. This should be a grand time! In the morning and evening it will be feed and play time. I will spend time petting and talking to your pet and send you pics and updates, daily or more..
About: I've had fur babies over a span of 30 years, from young adulthood to my married life. I continue to care for many pets for our friends and family and treat them as our own, providing special love and attention. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart and we understand their need for extra gentleness and care. I will keep your fur baby safe and look forward to meeting them. I’m retired and available for lots of play time, walks, and cuddles. I’m available for boarding or drop-ins anytime of the week with advance notice. I have a fenced yard and/or can crate your fur baby anytime if needed. I will care for and protect your pets as if they are our own.
About: Having provided hands on care for animals starting at age 13, I bring over five years of personal experience and one of learning to every visit. My passion for animal welfare has led me to actively study veterinary medicine and earn professional credentials in both Elanco Fundamentals of Animal Science and Elanco Veterinary Medical Applications. This background allows me to understand small animal health, attentive care for pets of all ages, read subtle body language, and spot minor changes in well being before they become big issues. Whether that means managing high energy puppies or giving gentle, patient attention to senior dogs. When your pet is with me, they aren't just getting a walk they're getting knowledgeable, family level care. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy doing alongside my full time work. By setting aside two full days a week specifically for pet sitting and dog walking, I can focus completely on your small pets and provide calm, reliable care without feeling rushed. I provide care exclusively in your home so your small pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. During every visit, I prioritize safety by keeping spaces secure, strictly following house rules and your established routine, giving your pet calm, dedicated attention.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life and love them with all my heart! After getting my newest puppy in my own home, I’ve been learning dog grooming to provide even better care. I’ll treat your pets like family and ensure they feel loved and happy while you’re away. I know how anxious I feel when I’m away from my pup and always feel grateful when I know he’s in the best hands, I’ve managed to potty train many dogs and I truly enjoy going on long walks with pets because they help me stay active in life and it’s so cute seeing how excited they get to explore the outside world! I do not have a set schedule so my availability changes but I would make sure to update it each time, a month in advance I have a very good read on a pet’s personality and once I understand that, I’m able to get an idea of what they need/want. All animals are unique and have different needs but an example is knowing that my highly energetic dog needs hour long walks so we go out and do that.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Katy
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!
This was our first time using Rover in years, and Bailey made the whole experience seamless. She was so kind, attentive, and communicative — keeping us updated quickly and often. We loved all the photos and updates she sent, which really put us at ease while we were away. Our pups absolutely adored her, and she followed every instruction with care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Thank you, Bailey! 😊

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
