About: As a child, my siblings and I raised dogs and cats at our country house. Therein, I spent a large portion of my childhood with animals, where I learned to respect them and appreciate how unique and loveable they can be. I am working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to either check in on your pets, walk them, or spend time with them. I love cats and dogs equally. I have three dogs at home, two of them are big dogs and one of them is small. The first two I mentioned, were rescued as puppies-and so I have a deep appreciation for all types of dogs and cats, despite their pasts. I also have a history with cats, the number of them I cannot say, but I love taking care of them too.
About: Hello, I am student at Sam Houston University and I'm studying animal science. I am also a brand new puppy owner of a puppy who was given to my family by an unhoused person. Im currently takinga nab at dog training. I also have two cats that were former strays. I grew up with a variety of animals, fish, mice, rabbits and I have experience with guinea pigs and horses, goats, and sheep. Im currently working part-time at Crunch Fitness in Conroe for 4 hours at a time. And I nanny/pet sit twice a week for 8hrs. I do school 2 days of the week for 4 hours as well. My shedule will constantly vary, but regardless majority of the time it is open. With my current pet-sitting gig and watch 3 dogs along with a little kid and those dogs will often get into some mischief. I always end up cleaning up some yucky mess one way or another. I am not one to yell at dogs or cats becuase thats not the way the learn. With a new puppy I understand the paitence associated with training as well as bond building.
About: I have had about 6 years of pet sitting experience, 12 years of owning 2 fur babies of my own. I have lived in 11 different states growing up so I’ve worked for all different types of families! I’ve fostered puppies and know how to take care of newborn puppies! I am currently a student going to SHSU! And so I have classes during the days mostly spread out to still be available for check-ins throughout the day! And weekends free:) I’ll make sure your pet never feels alone or like they’re just being watched. I want to be more than a sitter, I want to be a friend they feel comfortable and safe with. I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while making sure their routine and needs are respected. My goal is for every pet to feel loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away.
“I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone that we didn't know. But Diane was literally the best! She kept me updated on everything by sending me videos and pictures. I knew after the first day they were in such great care. Diane was very curtious in my home and with my kids. I will be booking her for any future needs. I would give her more than 5 stars if possible :)”
“Nina stayed in my home with my two mini schnauzers and I’m so happy she did! She gave my pups excellent care, even giving injections to my diabetic dog and checking his glucose. She sent me many pictures and updates throughout the day, letting me know when he had his injections, etc.. Nina took excellent care of my home as well. It was wonderful to get out of town for a couple of days and feel confident that my dogs were well cared for and loved on. I highly recommend Nina!”
““Adien was great! My dogs absolutely loved him. He sent pictures throughout the day and night, which gave me great peace of mind. He even stayed a couple of nights with them, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend Adien!””
About: I grew up taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. I have experience in walking, playing, feeding, and being a friend to all animals! :) I am pretty open on weekends and some weekdays! I am flexible with my schedule, and like to plan in advance. I would love to help out in house/pet sitting! I am safe, trustworthy, and reliable when taking care of pets. I grew up taking care of many animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, frogs, fish, etc. I can feed, walk, play with, and support furry friends :).
“First time we used Elizabeth and we are very pleased with her performance. Our rescue dog doesn’t usually trust or warm up to people very fast but Elizabeth won him over quickly.”
About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs from my own, family and friends', fosters, animal shelters... the list goes on. I love animals. I have an apple head chihuahua (7 years old) and 2 GSD-Malinois puppies that are 5 months old. I'm the sitter that sends consistent pictures, updates, and pays 24/7 attention to your babies. I want to be the person that puts you at ease, as I know how it feels to be worried about leaving your babies. Hoping to find furry friends for my puppies too! EVERY. DAY. My older chihuahua is very low maintenance, but my GSD-Malinois puppies are extremely needy. We're very active, outside every 2 hours at least, tennis balls, tug-o-war, treat training, dog walks, and hug and kisses time. Depends on the age, but, first and foremost, is check the floor and keep my belongings out of reach. Give the pets space and time to adjust, offer some treats, and follow your pet's lead- both in my home or yours. Everything revolves around the baby.
About: Hi my name is Macie. I am a college student finishing up my degree in radiation therapy. I am a huge animal lover!! I have always grown up surrounded by so many pets. I can’t remember a time that there hasn’t been a dog next to me. I currently have a Great Dane that turned two not too long ago! There are also two other dogs in the house that I love just as much! I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!
About: I currently work with puppies. I have experience across the board with all types of pets and sizes. I have a ton of free time so i am trying to waste it on the one thing I love . ANIMALS❤️ I currently work part time so I have a ton of free time, I am free from 7 am - 11 am 5 pm till or 3 pm before. I just moved to new neighborhood so it is very quiet and I have a huge gated backyard. I also take my pup to a huge gated field that’s 1 minute from my neighborhood
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just “stop by” — I pay attention. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, multi-pet households, detailed care routines, feeding schedules, brushing, ear care, and pets with very specific personalities and preferences. I’m also comfortable managing busy households and keeping owners updated so you’re never wondering what’s happening back home. I take instructions seriously, communicate clearly, and treat your pets and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. Basically: dependable enough for the humans, fun enough for the pets. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine because I’ve been providing home and pet-sitting services for several years. I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, check-ins, medications or special instructions, and the occasional last minute service. I keep my schedule organized so I can give each pet the attention they need without rushing. From a quick visit to overnight care, I make sure their routine stays as normal and comfortable as possible while their favorite humans are away. I provide care primarily in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in the environment where they are most comfortable. I follow each family’s instructions closely, referring back to it every time there is a service given. I also pay attention to the home itself by keeping pet areas clean, monitoring for anything unusual, and respecting each client’s space and privacy. I provide clear updates throughout the visit or stay so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel confident that both their pets and home are being well cared for.
“Lesly was great!! She agreed to watch Shelby on short notice and kept her busy all day. Shelby was completely worn out by the end of the day and happy as can be. Thanks Lesly, we really appreciate it.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals and their overall well being. I have been the designated pet sitter and care taker for my family and friends for over 10 years. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and especially enjoy high energy dogs that love to play. When your pets are with me you can trust they will have a scheduled day with however many walks and meals they require. I have a designated play room for pets and will only crate them upon your requests. I currently work from home part time and have more then enough free time to keep your loved ones entertained and comfy. I take all my dogs on morning and afternoon walks during the winter I try to plan accordingly with the weather. You can trust your pet will be safe as I have a designated play area away from anything that could harm them or objects they should chew on. If you prefer I come to your house I ensure the pet is safe by following your care guidelines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home several days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddle time throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play, a designated indoor play area, and a nearby dog park for extra exercise if approved by you. My home is clean, pet friendly, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will always let you know if I have any questions or concerns during their stay.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Waverly walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Waverly maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 New Waverly 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!

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 .
