“Nandini is great! She is super helpful, communicative, and available even with last-minute requests. More importantly, my pup loves her! I would recommend her any day!!”
“Ellie was awesome! I was visiting Houston for a medical appointment and she was super kind and flexible. She walked my dog a ton and tired him out just like I asked for! She’s great.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. Being around animals makes me happy, so your pets are in good hands. We will both have a fun time! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities and needs - playful puppies, reactive dogs who need extra patience, big gentle giants, our tripod babies, and sweet seniors. You name it! I work from home so my babies are always with me! My schedule is pretty lenient so often times we’re playing, going on walks, or cuddling! I am very considerate of other people’s pets and home and will treat them as my own. I’ll make sure are comfortable and getting lots of love and belly rubs!
“Brenna was awesome! She was very communicative to let a nervous dog dad know exactly how my pup was doing, took great care of my dog, and made me feel much more at ease while I was at work. We will be having her come back for sure! Thanks again, Brenna!”
About: I’ve cared for companion, sport, and service dogs for most of my life. I’m currently raising my fourth dog, a beautiful German Shepherd named Pancake. She behaves politely in busy coffee shops, streets, and crowds. I love that I can take her anywhere with me without worrying how she’ll react to unfamiliar dogs and people—she loves just about anyone! Getting Pancake from a rambunctious eight-week-old puppy to the well-mannered adult she is now took tremendous effort. Just like you, I know first-hand how much time, energy, and care it takes to raise our pets. Rest assured, I will care for your family as I care for mine. I work my main job from home and set my own schedule, so I can fit a wide range of times. Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any scheduling details. One thing worth knowing up front: I never rush a visit. If your dog needs a few extra minutes, those are on me at no extra charge, and I give every client the same courtesy. Because a visit now and then runs long, I keep some flexibility around start times. I always aim for your booked time, but please allow up to 30 minutes on either side. For a 2:00 PM booking, that means I may arrive anytime between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM. Your pet’s safety and well-being always comes first. They’ll have my full attention the whole time we’re together. I’m constantly reading their mood, behavior, and surroundings, so I can catch anything that seems off early and keep them comfortable and happy.
“Jacquelyn is wonderful with George! He ran to her immediately when we did a meet and greet, and I appreciate the pictures and report card she sends with every walk! Her services have been super helpful while we have an irregular work/office schedule, and I know our pup is in great hands!”
“Ynes did a wonderful job with Winnie! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates promptly and clearly. Winnie is a shy girl and Ynes was patient and consistent in winning her trust. I would highly recommend Ynes for your pet care needs!”
“Bailee is amazing! We do twice a week walks. Very professional. Communicates well. I have very shy dogs and they warmed up to her quickly. She thinks ahead and goes above and beyond! Brings inside my deliveries and leaves towels down when the dogs get wet from the rain. She is wonderful and I greatly appreciate her care. 10/10!”
“Needed someone to walk my fur baby urgently & Kayla was absolutely perfect. She responded quickly, communicating was effortless & Kane loved her! He can’t wait to see you again! Thanks again!”
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.
“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!”
“We had another week of walks scheduled with Jay, who has again been so reliable and shows that she genuinely cares about your pet and their happiness. We are so grateful to have found such a great person to take care of Emma!”
“Timothy was awesome! He responded super quickly even though it was a last-minute request, and everything went really smoothly. He took my dog Theo on a great walk, and I could tell he really cared. Highly recommend!”
“Patricia was amazing. She took my pupper on daily walks and notified me of any problems promptly. My dog seems to like her a lot and enjoys going on walks with her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a daily dog walker”
“Lizzy and her mom were amazing!! They provided so many details about his walk, including 20 photos of Apollo! Gave me so much comfort, as this was my first day ever leaving him by himself! Definitely book Lizzy if you need a walk for your dog!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats all my life and grew up around friends with dogs! I’m very familiar with pet safety specifically those surrounding dogs and do not plan to take any risks! Your pet is my responsibility and I only want the best for them. I’m very familiar with sick pet care for cats, I’ve administered medications including inhalants for asthmatic cats. My own has his little inhaler! I’ll always go above and beyond for any drop in visits and will not be opposed to washing any pet bowl and doing some litter box care. My schedule will usually allow for late pet visits during the week as I work until 3-5pm. I am not a smoker and will never bring any fumes around your pet or in your home! I work as a nurse so I’ll most likely be in uniform (with clean non hospital shoes) when visiting your pet. During the weekend I’m more flexible and can do visits at most any desired time! For cats and dogs I plan to wash all pet water bowls and food bowls if wet food is used. I will clean a litter box but a deep clean needs to be requested ahead of time! Specifically for dogs I will walk them and ensure they’re cleaned up after. I do not take dogs to dog parks or allow others to pet them due to liability risks. If your dog requires a muzzle I kindly ask you to find a sitter with more reactive dog experience. I can do medication admin for cats only! I do not wear shoes in my home and will always ask if you require the same for your household.
About: My name is Jennifer, I’m a big animal lover and I’ve been pet sitting for the last 8yrs. I have an alaskan malamute and 3 guinea pigs of my own but I’ve taken care of many other pets. I’m willing to walk, feed, bathe and play with your furry friends. I’m the owner of my own petsitting business, I love taking care of animals and available at anytime when needed depending on my schedule. I always make sure to respond and communicate with pet parents I’m a big animal lover so when I take care of pets, I get excited just getting to know and take care of them. It’s always my #1 concern that the pets i’m sitting are fully taken care of and safe.
“Olivia is awesome! Extremely communicative and sent me photos during both walks. Went above and beyond to make sure any requests I might have had were taken care of. Would highly, highly recommend!”
Rice dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am so pleased to have Katie walking my energetic chocolate Labrador! One of the things I appreciate most is her punctuality and reliability. She has only been walking my dog for a couple of weeks, but it already feels like she’s been part of our routine forever. Katie is caring, dependable, and clearly loves what she does. I am so happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker! 🐾
Excellent 1st walk. Brittany was very receptive and open . She has the flexible schedule I need right now with my hectic schedule. It’s a great bonus the dogs were comfortable and playful as well. So grateful for the positive interaction and look forward to the future ones. Thank you!
Terra has been amazing! I found her last minute before a trip and she made the whole experience just so easy! I knew Pearl loved hanging out with her and I wasn’t worried about leaving my dog with a stranger! I’m very grateful! She was on time, prompt, took care of Pearl’s medication too! She sent great updates too! I highly recommend Terra!
I couldn't be happier with the care Peanut received from Chloe! From the very first meeting, she bonded with Peanut immediately, which put my mind right at ease. Her communication is top-notch; I received timely updates and felt completely informed throughout the entire process. Peanut clearly got a fantastic workout and came home happy and well-exercised. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly connects with animals, I highly recommend her!
Kiara has been amazing with our puppy, Laila. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with dogs. She goes beyond just walking and feeding. She has been helping with training and reinforcing good habits, and we have already seen a big difference in Laila’s behavior. What we appreciate most is how thoughtful and proactive she is. She pays attention, makes helpful suggestions, and genuinely cares. I would absolutely recommend Kiara to anyone looking for someone dependable and truly invested in the dogs she works with.
Best rover I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few. She is polite, kind, helpful, and always available last minute when I’ve needed help. My dog loves her and I really appreciated that she was so active and wanted to make sure he got as much exercise as possible during their short time. Would recommend to everyone!
