“Looking for a pet sitter you can trust? Look no further! Alexa is AMAZING! She was very sweet and patient with our pups especially our hyper active one. She has great experience with all types of animals. Gave us great tips to help with our high energy pup, communicated efficiently with arrivals and departures, and most importantly our boys LOVED her. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lesly was prompt, took care of my fur babies, who are extremely high maintenance, very well. They loved her and weren’t stressed while I was away on extended leave. I will look forward to working with Lesly again!”
“Madeline was great! She took care of and played with our ever-full-of-energy German shepherd as well as tended to our older dog. She even went out of her way when we lost power to make sure all the animals were cool and kept us updated as we looked to make plans. Thankfully everything came back on, but she is the exact type of person you want looking after your family members.”
“Dominique has been absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Axle and Rex! She has watched them for several trips now, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is super communicative, loving, and attentive, and we especially love getting all the check-in pictures and updates while we’re away. It’s so reassuring to see our pups happy and well cared for! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and would absolutely recommend Dominique to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. ❤️”
“Rose was amazing when I had her take care of my pets! She showed up at our exact scheduled times and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and cat were comfortable and taken care of. She sent me pictures after every visit and even left a goody bag with treats on her last visit.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Lucky. Josh and Erin treat him like one of their own and it brings me comfort knowing that he is at home when he is there. Truth be told I think he thinks I'm in the sitter.”
“April is amazing! She has experience with anxious dogs which is great since we have a very nervous rescue. She plays with them, teaches them tricks, and takes them for walks. She goes above and beyond!”
“Shea was great with our cat! She was a great communicator and understood how to handle our older cat. Our cat can sometimes be a bit cranky when we get back home but this time he was much more relaxed because of the time she spent with him.”
About: I’ve always been the kind of person who learns the dog’s name before the human’s. 🐾 Whether your dog is a professional couch potato, a fetch fanatic, a certified Velcro dog, or thinks every walk is the greatest adventure of their life, I love figuring out what makes them happiest. I also have extensive hands on experience with Believe in Dog Training in Houston Heights, where I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior, communication, and training. I’ve personally taken two of my own dogs through training with them, so I understand how important consistency, positive reinforcement, boundaries, and keeping up with the commands and routines your dog already knows can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m happy to follow your normal walking routine, feeding schedule, commands, house rules, and all those little quirks that make your dog your dog. I don’t want your pet to simply be checked off a to do list while you’re gone. They’ll get genuine attention, playtime, walks, love, and cuddles if that’s their thing. And yes, you can absolutely expect photo updates including the unnecessarily cute ones. 🐶❤️ My schedule is flexible, which means I have plenty of time to make your pets a priority! 🐾 I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine because we all know they’re the ones actually running the schedule. Whether it’s morning zoomies, an afternoon walk, or dinner served precisely when demanded, I’m there! Your pet’s safety comes first fun is a very close second! 🐾 I follow your instructions, routines, house rules, and training cues closely because consistency matters. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and I’ll never introduce your pet to another animal or take them somewhere new without your permission. I also know every pet has their quirks. Whether I need to give them space, burn off some serious zoomies, throw the ball approximately 900 times, or provide mandatory couch cuddles, I’ll adapt to what makes your pet feel safe and happy. You can expect plenty of updates and pictures along the way because wondering what your pet is doing while you’re gone is half the struggle! ❤️
“Dominic was Great!! He spent time with my pups and didn't mind the jump in the pool to cool off! Water and Treats were enjoyed by the dogs and timely too!! Thanks for your patience with my dogs!🐶💚🐶”
“Gabriela was so incredibly helpful and flexible! She provided above and beyond care for my puppies!! Also very cute and funny updates. Definitely found my go to dog sitter!”
“Shannon has been taking care of my dogs for a couple of months now, as needed. They absolutely love her visits. I know this because of all the amazing photos she shares during her visits with them. I highly recommend her services!! And so do my three pups! 😃”
About: Hi! I’m Savannah, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a ranch surrounded by animals and have always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to love on their pets. I’m a lifelong dog lover and truly believe pets are family. Whether your pup needs a midday drop-in, a good walk, some extra attention while you’re away, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m responsible, active, and very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I also work from home, so when your pup stays with me, they’ll have plenty of company and won’t be left alone all day. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and my goal is to make that part easy. I’ll keep you updated, follow your instructions, and make sure your fur baby gets plenty of love! My work day is from 6am to 2:30pm, as well as remote 3x a week! It’s easy for me to be flexible and present for pets! I have a single-story home with a fully fenced backyard and a doggie door, giving pups safe access to the yard throughout the day. I also live near beautiful walking trails and greenbelts where we can safely explore together.
“Sarah cares for my babies like they are her own. My pups get so excited to see her - whether it is arriving at her home for an overnight or her coming to our house for a drop in, they love her and her family. So grateful to have found someone we trust with our babies!”
About: I have been a cat parent for multiple cats the last 13 years, and a foster for cats and dogs from 2020 - 2024. I am able to walk for one or more miles for big and active dogs. I can also take your dog to a park with permission. I have two cats of my own that I take care of. I am new to Rover, so I am still working on a routine using this app. As of September 22nd, I have not worked yet on Rover. For my own two cats, I make sure to have a feeding schedule, frequently clean litter pans, and make certain their water fountains are cleaned and filled. For clients homes, I feel it's best to honor and respect the clients wants and needs for their fur babies.
“Sara is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. My 2 little ones liked her from the very first meeting. She came twice a day to feed, play and let them outside. I was so relieved on my trip and knew I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend her.🥰🐶🐶”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I will treat your pets and your home with care and respect. I follow all feeding and care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of/owned dogs ever since I was 4 years old. I am now 23 and my love has only grown! I take care of every pup as my own. My many years of experience makes me a perfect fit to nurture your pup! I am currently working part time while i’m away from college and knew this would be the perfect thing to do in between work days! I currently go to Texas A&M and will be returning next semester and hope to continue this side job there as well! Caring for pets in your home or a client's involves feeding, exercising, grooming, giving medication, providing affection, ensuring safety, and communicating with owners about their well-being. Each pet's unique needs require tailored attention to ensure their health and happiness.!
About: I have fallen in love with every kitten whom I've ever met, and I would love to add yours to that list. Whether your baby likes to play or prefers to lounge in the sunlight and enjoy royalty status, I have the perfect most loving home for them to visit. I am located in the heart of Kingwood and have a medium apartment with plenty of space for your kitty to roam around, sunlight for basking, and wood panel floors for a worry free stay. I have a convenient hybrid work schedule allowing me to be at home an extra day out of the week (Friday), and for Monday through Thursday I work downtown typical hours, allowing me to be home around 6:30ish. This leaves me plenty of time in the evenings and all weekend to spend some quality time with your baby, outside of just seeing to basic needs. On office days I can also check in on my fluffy house guests from my pet cams and see how they’re enjoying their stay. For most days I should be able to meet internal clock meal times to a T, ensuring consistency and peace of mind for your kitty. I do not currently have a cat of my own, so if your baby prefers not being looked after with other furry friends, they'll have nothing to worry about. I have plenty of space and window-cast sunlight beams for any cat to feel at home and comfortable. It is just myself and my son at home, so there is plenty of attention available to love and dote on your baby. I have space for any accommodations needed, such as litter boxes and/or larger toys or scratching posts. For those cool cats who enjoy outdoor walks and some fresh air, I have the Town Center park practically right outside my front door and would love to go enjoy a nice walk with them.
“Ketsi did an amazing job taking care of my Zuk! She send multiple pictures of them playing and of my handsome pup! She was very communicative! I highly recommend her for a fur baby sitter!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Vickie! Vickie has been wonderful with our two Golden Retrievers! Before her first official visit, she came over just to meet our girls, which immediately put both them and us at ease. By the time she left that day, the pups were already in love with her. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shine through. We came home to two happy, relaxed girls and couldn't be more pleased. We've already planned to book her again — look no further for a dog sitter you can truly trust!

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 Porter 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 .
