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 :)

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.

About: Hello! I am currently a stay-at-home pet parent with 10+ years of experience caring for fur babies. I have previously worked for a pet hotel where I gained skills in training and grooming. In my personal life, my friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting. I have 2 sweet, energetic dogs - a male miniature Australian Shepherd and female Lab Mix - who are both 1 1/2 years old. I spend most of my time enjoying enriching activities with them. Both are very welcoming and get along great with other dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about providing activities that are mentally enriching in addition to physical exercise and fulfilling their natural drives. Playing with purpose is so much more fun and rewarding! My preferred schedule is noted in my availability, but I’m happy to accommodate (including last minute availability) whenever I can so please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns before booking. I have a fenced yard, enrichment activities, and a friendly, energetic puppy to keep yours entertained. For visits in your home I can take care of feeding, administer oral medication, take them for a walk, etc depending on your individual preferences. I’m also happy to water your plants and bring in your mail upon request 🙂

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
