“Darius was great! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous, but my pup loved her time with him. It was just a 30 minute walk but he sent me a video, thank you again!”
“I needed temporary help taking 3 dogs on morning walks, especially early since one of them was a senior dog! Luckily, I found Christina! Her price was affordable and service was excellent! She was reliable, always punctual and even aaccommodated to my slight change of time for the senior dog. Don't hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Christina! I couldn't have made it through those 3 weeks without your help!”
“Jacquelyn is wonderful with George! He ran to her immediately when we did a meet and greet, and I appreciate the pictures and report card she sends with every walk! Her services have been super helpful while we have an irregular work/office schedule, and I know our pup is in great hands!”
“Ynes did a wonderful job with Winnie! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates promptly and clearly. Winnie is a shy girl and Ynes was patient and consistent in winning her trust. I would highly recommend Ynes for your pet care needs!”
“Brittaney has been great! I injured myself over the weekend and was unable to walk Jaxson, Brittaney luckily lives only a few blocks from me. She was able to come walk him. Jaxson seems nice and relaxed post walk and is happy to see her. Thanks Brittaney!”
“Bailee was so wonderful with my girls! She met up with us a day prior to ensure my dogs would feel comfortable hanging out with her the next day, she was so reliable and sweet and I felt so safe and comfortable trusting her with my girls. I can’t wait for them to hang out again!”
“We had another week of walks scheduled with Jay, who has again been so reliable and shows that she genuinely cares about your pet and their happiness. We are so grateful to have found such a great person to take care of Emma!”
“I cannot recommend Eva enough! From the very beginning, she has been incredibly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring toward my dog. It’s clear that she doesn’t just see this as a job—she truly loves what she does. She is very diligent and thoughtful during her visits, always making sure my dog is well cared for and comfortable. Her communication is excellent, and she is always warm, pleasant, and easy to interact with. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog is in such capable and kind hands. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, including my own and pets for friends and family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including senior dogs, and I’m very attentive to their needs, behavior, and comfort. I specialize in dog walking and take pride in providing structured, safe, and enjoyable walks. I’m naturally calm and patient, which helps dogs feel at ease, while also maintaining a confident presence that dogs respect—especially on walks. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’m dependable, consistent, and focused on giving every dog a positive experience during each walk. I’m available for dog walking Monday through Wednesday from 11am–2pm and 4pm–6pm. I offer flexible scheduling within these windows and focus on providing consistent, attentive, and well-paced walks for every dog. During walks, safety and awareness are my top priorities. I’m very familiar with the Midtown and Downtown Houston areas, including local parks and safe walking routes. I plan each walk with awareness of surroundings and avoid unsafe or high-traffic areas. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level, keep leashes secure, and adjust walks based on their needs. I remain calm, alert, and in control at all times, which helps dogs feel comfortable and respond well. I also handle interactions with other people and dogs appropriately and follow all client instructions carefully to ensure a safe and positive experience.
“Needed someone to walk my fur baby urgently & Kayla was absolutely perfect. She responded quickly, communicating was effortless & Kane loved her! He can’t wait to see you again! Thanks again!”
“Maliya was great with Tiger. She arrived early at my request and wore my pup out! Such a lifesaver for me. My daughter is running a fever and I had no time to walk my dog so I made a last minute request and she was came to the rescue. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and care. I have a very active Brittany Spaniel, so I’m especially great with high-energy dogs, but I also love slower-paced companions. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will follow your dog’s routine closely—while keeping you updated with photos so you always feel at ease. I am currently available all day-everyday (taking a break from corporate life). So I can help with all of your pups needs and even step in last minute. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog—I expect the same for mine. I’ll respect your routines, preferences, and any specific instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.
“Sama is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates regularly with updates, which gives me great peace of mind. My dog adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural way with animals. She also handles all pets with care and professionalism. I highly recommend Sama to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets!”
About: I currently have three fur babies of my own: Gia and Grizzly, who are littermates, and Blondie, who I found the day before I moved into my current home — I'm convinced she was a housewarming gift from the universe. My household also includes my cousin and roommate Jackeline, whose cat Stormy keeps everyone on their toes, so yes... cats are absolutely welcome here too! ◡̈ Beyond my own babies, I'm an active foster for Heart of the Underdog, a Houston-based rescue nonprofit. I also volunteer at the Houston Humane Society, and throughout college I spent weekends walking dogs for Friends for Life, another Houston rescue. Caring for animals has been a constant thread throughout my adult life, not an occasional thing. I'm embedded in my East Downtown (EaDo) neighborhood and have been an informal go-to sitter for neighbors' dogs and cats for years. **** I've recently added a new experience to my resume: one of my foster dogs gave birth in my home, so I'm officially experienced in newborn puppy care too. I'm the happiest version of myself when I'm surrounded by animals and helping them have a better quality of life. This isn't just a side gig for me, it's genuinely my happy place. I'm available throughout the week and genuinely love having pets around, the more the merrier. Outside of caring for my own three pups and any active fosters, I have a flexible, open schedule that makes it easy to give visiting pets real time and attention, not just check-ins. Weekends work great too. I'm not just fitting pet care in around a packed calendar, it's a priority, not an afterthought. My dogs free-roam at home, and I'm experienced at managing a multi-dog household safely, including around food and toy guarding situations. My own pups range from 60–90 lbs, so large breeds are totally comfortable here and very welcome. Through fostering, I've worked with reactive dogs, puppies, and pregnant mamas...and I've even delivered a litter of puppies in my home. I've also done hands-on training and confidence-building work with fosters who needed extra patience and support. I'm very tuned in to dog body language and behavior. I pay attention to what a dog is telling me, and I adjust my approach based on what they actually need, not just what the routine calls for.
Midtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Darius was kind and has great energy. My dog took to him pretty instantly and let him pet all over her. He responded really quickly to my initial message requesting a walk and was able to do a meet and greet the very next day. He sent lots of pics and listened attentively when I explained all this Amber(my dog) to him.
I am so pleased to have Katie walking my energetic chocolate Labrador! One of the things I appreciate most is her punctuality and reliability. She has only been walking my dog for a couple of weeks, but it already feels like she’s been part of our routine forever. Katie is caring, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. I am so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐾
Excellent 1st walk. Brittany was very receptive and open . She has the flexible schedule I need right now with my hectic schedule. It’s a great bonus the dogs were comfortable and playful as well. So grateful for the positive interaction and look forward to the future ones. Thank you!
Brittany's so awesome! She helped me last minute and walked my baby Nola. She was so sweet to also help me out. Brittany went above and beyond to make sure she was well taken care of. She was great with communication and details, even helped me out with everything because I waa having trouble booking . I absolutely recommend her!!
Kiara has been amazing with our puppy, Laila. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs. She goes beyond just walking and feeding. She has been helping with training and reinforcing good habits, and we have already seen a big difference in Laila’s behavior. What we appreciate most is how thoughtful and proactive she is. She pays attention, makes helpful suggestions, and genuinely cares. I would absolutely recommend Kiara to anyone looking for someone dependable and truly invested in the dogs she works with.
