“Mikayla & Stephen L. and family are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Our Ranger had so much fun. He even appeared to have an actual smile on his face in almost all of the update pictures they sent us while we were away. We will 100% request them for any future boarding needs, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving & trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Arienne provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. Unfortunately one of my dogs had an accident on her furniture and she was very understanding. You can tell Arienne really loves dogs and is a true dog lover. I would highly recommend using Arienne for any dog sitting needs!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am happy to adjust my care to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I have a Boston Terrier of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attention, exercise, and giving pets plenty of affection. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to details, whether that means going on walks, keeping pets on their normal feeding schedules, providing playtime, or simply giving them extra company and cuddles. I am also willing to care for puppies and senior pets and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to give every pet the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own dog! I am currently working part-time as a private basketball trainer so I have a lots of extra time while also attending A&M to obtain my degree in sports management! I live in an apartment so no backyard but don’t let that shy you away!! My dog and I walk 5 miles daily and we have a dog park just down the stairs!! We absolutely love staying active and this is just another way to help your fur babies active while you’re away!!

About: My whole life, my family has had cats, dogs, hampsters, bunnies- you name it! While away at college during the school year,I don’t get to see my furry friends as much anymore, so I love every opportunity I get to spend with animals! It would be my pleasure to give your pets the love and care that they deserve! I’m currently only enrolled in a few in person classes at TAMU, so my days are pretty much free meaning I have plenty of time for your pets! If you wish to have your pet stay in my home, I have a fully fenced yard and more than enough room for them in my home.

About: I began pet sitting in high school, visiting clients’ homes to feed their dogs and give them playtime while owners were away. Over time, this grew into a passion for understanding canine behavior. My interest in psychology, especially behavioral and humanistic approaches, along with my love for dogs, led me to earn my certification as an obedience trainer from Animal Behavior College. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, boarding, or housesitting, I ensure every dog is enriched and cared for. I welcome all breeds and temperaments as if they were my own. I’m also working toward applying to veterinary technology school, with the goal of becoming a licensed veterinary technician. I want to build on my dog training experience by learning more about animals’ physical health so I can better understand and support each pet’s individual needs. My schedule is flexible for all types of dog care—except boarding and daycare. I use positive reinforcement to help keep your pup both physically and mentally stimulated. I'm versatile and reliable, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish to ensure smooth communication with all pet parents. I offer companionship and affection to pets in the absence of their owners, maintaining their routine and minimizing stress. In addition I maintain contact with the owners to update them on their pet's activities and wellbeing.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs—both small and large—so I’m very comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I previously worked at PetSmart as both a pet care associate and a dog trainer, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as cats and exotic pets. My training background allows me to better understand animal behavior, reinforce good habits, and handle pets with patience and confidence. Outside of work, I’m known for rescuing stray animals and even helping injured wildlife whenever I can—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a snake of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, walks, or just extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during lunch, and after 4 PM. I also offer boarding in my home and can provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. On weekends, I have full availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pet, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. When I’m away from home, I crate my dogs to ensure they stay safe and secure, and I’m happy to follow your preferences regarding crating or routines for your pet. I always take a thoughtful, attentive approach to introductions and supervision to make sure all pets feel comfortable and stress-free in my home. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, structured, and loving environment while in my care.

“Brooke did a great job taking care of sprout. She was very kind, caring, thoughtful, and communicative through the entire process. She and her husband made a a great effort to make me and sprout feel safe and comfortable. They sent pictures to keep me updated which really helped me feel at ease. They are honestly some of the nicest people I have ever met and they really care about animals. Sprout had a blast with their dog and it made me happy to know he had a fun vacation and made a new friend while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again if I need a dog sitter.”

He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was being treated like family while I was away (all of the cute pics helped!). I highly recommend Noor to anyone looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and truly loves dogs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nicholas home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nicholas.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Nicholas sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
