“Wendy took care of my dogs with no problems! When I got held up with work that took me longer than expected, she happily said no problem and sent me a picture that the dogs were just fine! To have that peace of mind is priceless! Thanks Wendy!”
“Emily and her family were great! Very kind and friendly. Her dog got along well with my dog. We will use Emily again and recommend her to others in the future.”
About: We love all dogs from young puppies to seniors! We have a young lab who is very friendly and loves to have fun with other pup friends. We have experience with giving dogs medication, giving senior pups their special care, or playing with a puppy full of energy. They are all welcome to our home! Unfortunately, we are no longer taking the German Shepherds, Pits, French, or any other form of bulldog. We are available for boarding during the weekends. My husband works from home two days a week during the weekday. We make sure to give the dogs a lot of walks, active play, and love throughout their stay. We have a zero bite/attack policy. Snarls are okay if they calm but we will call for removal the moment a bite or attack happens. We have a fenced in backyard that dogs will love to play in. Your pup is welcome to stay inside our home or play all day outside. We have a two year old female lab who is very friendly and loves to play. If you need your dog crated, we can crate them or they can roam around freely.
About: Hi, I'm Dawn. I'm a retired nurse and animal lover. I believe that our 4 legged friends are the same as family and should be treated as such. I live with my husband of 26 years and our 18 year old son. We have lived in our home since 2004 in the neighborhood of Kings Manor in the front of Kingwood. We have a large, fenced in backyard that is perfect for running and playing fetch. It's a safe and quiet neighborhood with lots of green belt trails for long walks on sunny or cloudy days :) I enjoy cooking, gardening, crafting, swinging on the swing set and gaming :) I spend a large portion of the day outdoors so you can be assured your fur baby will get plenty of outside play time each and every day they're here (weather permitting of course) I know what it's like to have to put the care of your loved one in the hands of a stranger so I will always be mindful of the value of a game of fetch, a walk or extra cuddles during a thunderstorm. Whatever special needs your fur baby might have I will always do my best to accommodate them. Also, be prepared for me to send you lots of pics and videos of your babies while you're away :) I'm a retired nurse who is home full time. I have no outside obligations so I am very accommodating to whatever schedule you and your fur baby might have :) I live in a 2 story home in the quiet neighborhood of Kings Manor in the front of Kingwood. I have a large, fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your doggo to play. I no longer have any pets in the home as we lost our sweet boy, Cody over a year ago to cancer :( Watching your fur baby gives me and my family great joy to be able to offer love to them when we don't have our own doggy to love anymore. It's therapeutic for me and your fur baby gets lots of one on one attention from us. So it's a win win :)

“Sarah was flexible and accommodating regarding drop off and pick up times during the week of doggy daycare we needed for Stinkerbell! I couldn't ask for any better care and attention...she's the best! We'll be back :) ”
“Serina was wonderful with my dog for the day. She has such a welcoming, friendly attitude and made my pup feel right at home. I really appreciated all the photo and video updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog clearly loves staying with Serina, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs. I’m not ready to get another dog yet so I know that I would be a good fit for yours. I am retired. Walking your dog would be a blessing to me as well as give you peace of mind. I will take care of yours the same as I would do for mine. I have a fenced in yard. I have no pets. I love being outside and am very active. It would be a honor to be your dog walker.
About: I’m excited to welcome and care for your pup in our family home! I provide a loving, comfortable environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. Before becoming a mom, I was a dog mom to two very different pups—a tiny 5-lb terrier and an 80-lb Great Pyrenees/Collie mix—for a little over five years. Having cared for dogs on both ends of the size spectrum, I understand that every pup has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I’d love the opportunity to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me. I will be the sole caretaker for all Rover bookings, and any interactions between pets and my children will always be supervised by me. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks and can also work pet care into my daily routine when caring for a pup in my home. I enjoy getting outside for walks and am happy to follow each dog’s usual walking, feeding, potty, and care routine as closely as possible. Safety and comfort are always a priority. For walks, I’ll follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine, keeping their temperament, energy level, and surroundings in mind. When caring for a dog in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for outdoor time and a nearby shaded trail for walks. I have a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old in the home, so it’s important that dogs staying with me are comfortable around children. I will always supervise any interactions between my children and pets in my care. We don’t currently have a dog of our own, and I will be the sole caretaker responsible for all Rover bookings.
“Ashley is always so accommodating with my pups! She always gives a full report on their potty/eating/playing habits with lots of pictures. For daycare and boarding she is my go-to sitter!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs & fish my entire life. I love ALL animals! When I look into their eyes-I see their souls. There is no greater love, than that of an animal who loves unconditionally-and vice versa. 🥰 I am recently early retired so I have full time love to give and share! I will treat your fur babies as my own- with unconditional love and respect all all times. I have a fenced yard, and three friendly cats of my own. I’m a pushover for treats (as permitted) and love all animals with the respect and dignity they deserve.
About: I may be new to pet sitting, but I genuinely love animals and really want to help take care of your pets. I’m super responsible, eager to learn, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m dedicated to giving them lots of love, attention, and care. You can trust me to be reliable and to make sure your pets are happy and safe while you’re away. I work part-time at a bakery 2 to 3 days a week, but I don’t work late nights — I get off around 7 PM. Since I’m not in school right now and doing online college, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. You can count on me to provide responsible, loving care for your furry friends! In my own home, I make sure my pug is comfortable, fed, and given plenty of attention. I believe in sticking to their usual routines as much as possible, including regular feeding times, play, and walks if needed. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their specific instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. I prioritize creating a safe, loving environment, whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles, or simply making sure they feel secure. No matter the location, my goal is to make pets feel loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Porter commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
