“Ashley is literally the best. She took of Margo like she was her own.. she played w her, took plenty of pictures, cleaned up after her and even made her a blanket!! Ashley was caring, communicative and loving. She followed all of my instructions to a T and made sure I was updated during each and every visit. I would highly, highly recommend her!!!”


“Bailey took great care of my dog! She sent lots of pictures, was great at communicating with me the whole time she was watching her and also kept me updated on how she was doing especially since my dog just got out of the emergency vet right before I left for my vacation. I would definitely have Bailey watch my dog again and highly recommend her!”


“Jackie is absolutely phenomenal—I cannot recommend her highly enough! My dog lovvvveedddd her and her dog, Coco (which is saying a lot, because my dog usually doesn’t like other dogs). Jackie is incredibly organized and accommodating. I felt completely at ease leaving Roo in her care while we traveled abroad, even with Roo’s medical needs. She sent us daily pictures and was always communicative. We loved her and will 100% be reaching out again in the future!”


“Naim did a great job watching our older dogs while we were on vacation. He communicated often, spent lots of time with them, and took care of their needs - including giving medication. Thanks, Naim!”


“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”


“Dani is a joy to work with. She has looked after our pets at our home previously and I don’t need to worry about pets or home whilst we are away. Great communication. Very professional.”


“Selen went above and beyond taking care of my pets. She was thorough and consistent. She sent lots of pictures and updates which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away for a whole week. She also took very good care of my home and left things super organized and clean. Definitely recommend booking her!”


“Nandini was wonderful, she took good care of our dog, Kulfi. She took him out, petted him and played with him. Kulfi was happy which is very reassuring for us. We would highly recommend Nandini for anyone looking for reliable and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking her again.”


“Lidia was perfect for my 3 weeks away in Asia. I have a senior Shih tzu and need someone who can stay in my house so that it is most comfortable for my aging dog. Lidia sent me photos and videos almost daily and my sweet Lulu looked so happy with her temporary mom that she became Lulu’s step mama! Lidia also has a small senior dog that stayed over and kept Lulu company. The two of them together were adorable. I will continue booking Lidia. She was more than what I imagined. My time away was completely stress free knowing my baby was happy and cared for.”


“I don’t think word could do justice for how wonderful Ashley is. She is such a warm and caring person and a joy to have as a company, my baby boy Bomzie for sure had a great time with Ashley. Ashley sent pictures and videos everyday and I could see how she is attentive to Bomzie and play with him because I told her only once that Bomzie loves to play and we always try to stimulate his brain through different games. I for sure will ask her to stay with Bomzie and I recommend her to anyone who wants to go on vacation with a peace of mind.”


“Elizabeth was great. She kept me informed about how my dog was doing and sent pictures regularly. She also took great care of my house, which was appreciated. I had to hire her last minute which can be stressful, but she put us at ease right away.”


“Amazing dog-sitter, unselfish, goes above and beyond, loves animals (my dog, at least). I am VERY thankful for having Timothy be my dog-sitter for 5-6 days. I am almost worried my dog will leave me for him haha…💯”


“We are new to Houston and this was our very first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous leaving our dog while traveling out of the country. Siyu completely exceeded our expectations! She stayed in our home and cared for our pup as if she were her own. We received regular updates and tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind and made us feel connected while away. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loved her and was so well cared for. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend booking Siyu. She will definitely be our go-to sitter for all future trips!”


“Heaven always does such a great job pet/house sitting. She is very responsive and always follows instructions and sends pics which we appreciate. She also made sure to ask questions first if anything came up! We highly recommend heaven”
