“Darius was great! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous, but my pup loved her time with him. It was just a 30 minute walk but he sent me a video, thank you again!”


“Jacquelyn was an absolute gem! My dog, Serena took to her and the two had a good time! Serena definitely got her walks in with her! I would recommend her anytime!”


“Travis has swooped in to the rescue while we need help taking our two small dogs out. He's great with communicating and keeps it polished and professional. Auggie and Frankie love their walks with him! Recommend.”


About: Mom of two very stubborn Shiba Inus and one very precious kitty. My kitty is special needs (asthma, heart disease, urinary problems…) so I’ve learned to administer meds, inhaler, and injections in the process. My two Shibas keep me busy and on my toes constantly. But I have also worked with reactive fosters and one-on-one with trainers for socializing dogs. I am a full-time medical student, which means my schedule is flexible and I can fit caring for your babies into my schedule easily. You can count on me to be there whenever you need. I have two dogs and a cat at home, so safety is very important to me. Your baby will be under supervision at all times when they are with me. My Shibas have gotten into things they shouldn’t have in the past, so that will not happen under my watch again. I love playing with animals. If I’m watching your pet, you can be sure that they will be fully entertained.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Elizabeth was punctual, professional, and truly seemed to care about my pup. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust with my dog, and I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend.”


“Patsy was amazing! She walked my dog three times a day while I was out of town and gave me total peace of mind. Great communication throughout, very trustworthy, and she took such good care of my boy. I could tell he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”


“Karlie was great with my dog, who is not the best with strangers. She arrived on time, was very communicative, sent me several pictures and updates on the visit, and took great care of my pet. Highly recommend!”


“I’ve booked several dog walks with Jay and she has been consistently reliable with great communication. She’s punctual and follows directions perfectly. Emma looks so happy and well-exercised when I get home! Would highly recommend Jay to take care of your pet.”


About: I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and kinds! From a young age I worked with animals, volunteering at the animal shelter, raising three labs with my family, and sitting for other people’s pets! I’m between jobs this summer and have open availability! I’m an early riser so can be available for early morning walks and drop-ins as well. I will get to know your pet to determine the care style they want - whether it’s lots of pets and affection or more peaceful coexistence. For walks I’ll adapt to their pace!

“We absolutely loved our experience with Cheyenne! My dog instantly connected with her and would cry when she left—he adored her that much. Cheyenne was not only reliable and communicative, but she also helped curb some of his bad leash behaviors with patience and skill. Her genuine care and professionalism really stood out. I would absolutely book her again without hesitation.”


“Chelsea was amazing!! This was my first time leaving Bella home while away on vacation. I couldn't have picked a better person to check in on her. She sent many photos and I could tell my Bella was having a blast. Chelsea even stopped by extra times when she was nearby to spend time with Bella. I highly recommend trusting her with your fur babies!”


About: I have lots of experience with all animals, big and small and I would love to take care of yours! I have one cat that is 2 years old and I also have dogs at home. I am most of the time and would love to come check on your pet or stay with them! I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and even helped deliver and raise a litter of puppies. I will do whatever I can to make sure your pet is safe and cared for! I am a full time student with very flexible class schedules. I only have class about 2 days a week for a few hours so I have plenty of availability. Safety is my top priority and I will make sure your pets are safe at all times. I am unable to bring pets into my own home at this time but I will make sure they are well taken care of!

About: I’ve grown up with small and medium sized dogs that i loved taking care of from puppy to old age. I’ve taken care of my neighbors and friends dogs/cats for a couple years. I currently own a cat, and I know how to administer oral medication to cats and dogs if needed. I love animals and understand the care and trust you need to put into those who care for your pets. Im currently a college student with mostly online classes so I have lots a time to play and cuddle with your pets! I’m able to pet sit and do overnight stays on weekends and most weekdays. I can take your dog on walks or play in your backyard if you have fenced area. I’ll also play with them inside if it’s too hot or raining hard. I’ll keep the fur babies company for as long as needed.

About: I build strong, natural connections with the pets I care for! While I haven’t done formal training, I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and puppies tend to respond really well to me. I also pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. You can count on me to treat your pet with genuine care, calm energy, and plenty of affection. I'm currently teaching just 4 hours of class at the University of Houston, so I have time to take care for, walk, and play with your pets during the weekdays, and especially on weekends. I offer pet sitting in my home, which is a clean, cozy duplex apartment inside a nice residential community. It's a calm and comfortable space where pets can feel relaxed and secure. I used to have a dog who loved living here, so I’ve made sure the environment is safe and pet-friendly. I always keep a close eye on pets, follow any routines or special instructions, and make sure they feel at home while they’re with me.

“Angelica is amazing! She truly goes above and beyond. I recently adopted a stray (and was totally unprepared for it) but Angelica is so flexible and sweet to my dog. Not sure how I would’ve been able to keep toffee without her help!! Cannot recommend more, she really cares about the well being of the dog”


“It’s not easy being Sonny’s friend, but Annie has been so patient and understanding of his stranger danger. She’s happy to discuss your dog’s anxieties, favorite treats, and works hard to build a bond with them above and beyond any dog sitter. Annie is reactive dog approved!”


“Olivia was great with my new rescue. We are still learning his personality and quirks, and she quickly made friends. She sent me multiple updates and pictures. Most importantly, she was able to troubleshoot on her own. She was quick to respond to my initial message and kindly guided me through my first Rover exchange. No notes. Highly recommend.”

I can’t recommend Austin enough! He’s been super amazing with my doggo Stryder. Always punctual, super friendly, and clearly loves animals. Stryder comes home happy and tired after every walk. I feel at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Austin’s communication is fantastic too—he sends updates and pictures, which I really appreciate. If you’re looking for someone reliable and genuinely caring, Austin is your guy!

Lucie has been walking my dog Copper for the past few months and she is excellent! She is always on time and sends detailed texts/photos/updates. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets for them when they’re away from home! Thanks Lucie!!!

Elizabeth was truly amazing! She did an amazing job walking and taking care of my German Shepherd for 5 days. I’ll admit I was more worried more than anything about who was going to take care of my dog when I left to go on vacation. She alleviated my worries. I will definitely be using her as my dog walker as long as I am in Houston and she is willing! Not everyone run at once to use her, because I need her to still be available! 🤣

Reagan is so kind and professional! She was quick to respond to my last minute request and really helped me out by walking my two pups today. She is very sweet to my dogs and took special care of my one dog who is currently in the cone of shame. She took it off as I requested to make sure he could eat and drink a bit and put it back on before leaving. I feel very comfortable having her care for my pets and will be booking her again 😌

Annie is very kind, professional and always greeted the dog and me with a smile. After fostering so many dogs, she really understands their needs. She actually taught us a little about our dog! She was like the dog whisperer to our 67 lbs husky. Although they only met a couple of times, Yuki was excited to see her every time. I would highly recommend Annie to anyone who needs help with their fur baby.

Olivia was great with my new rescue. We are still learning his personality and quirks, and she quickly made friends. She sent me multiple updates and pictures. Most importantly, she was able to troubleshoot on her own. She was quick to respond to my initial message and kindly guided me through my first Rover exchange. No notes. Highly recommend.
