Sabrina went above and beyond caring for some stray kittens I took in and their sick mamma. So lucky to have her look after my cat (and some extras).

Bobbi was so wonderful from the very first meeting. She was on time every day and took such loving care of our two dogs. We didn’t have to worry about anything. She washed the dishes, gave them freshwater and loved on them so that they probably forgot we were gone. Highly recommend her. !!!!

Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.

Holy cow, above and beyond! She dropped in on a last minute emergency visit. And not only did an amazing job but also cleaned up after an accident that we didn’t know about. If you’re in the sugar land area, you found your next sitter!

Anusha was great with Talia. It was our first time boarding her and we were worried about Talia feeling comfortable. It was very reassuring to see photos and videos of Talia playing and exploring the house. Anusha did a great job communicating with us as well. We look forward to boarding with Anusha in the future.

About: My love for animals has given me experience in pet sitting with cats and dogs. I had two childhood dogs that taught me everything I know about pet care. Before my neighbor moved away, I would drop by her house after school to check on her cat while she was at work. As I got older, my mom would recommend me to her clients from her cleaning service when asked if she knew any pet-sitters who could watch their dogs or cats for a couple of hours, weekends, or on holidays. And while in college, I pet-sat and walked my roommates' dogs whenever they needed it. My experience as a pet sitter ensures that your beloved family member will be safe and content while in my care. I am available for full-time house sitting any day of the week or drop-in visits/walks Monday through Friday from 11 am to 6:30 pm. But I am willing to accommodate earlier or later times. I will follow your pet's schedule to the second to ensure they are happy and healthy while in my care. If anything happens or I have questions, I will contact you immediately.

About: Hi, my name is Haylie and dogs and cats are my passion! I work at Petco as a dog bather and I've been a pet sitter for around 8 years now outside of Rover. I do drop-in visits for pets and dog walking. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats, senior pets, special needs pets, and exotic/farm animals. I have also been a dedicated volunteer at my local animal shelter for a few years now, and I have fostered and socialized multiple dogs and cats and I have helped find safe loving homes for them. I love taking care of animals and it makes me happy giving owners a peace of mind that their pet is safe and happy while they're away :) I work full time at Petco as a dog groomer in training but I have Wednesday, Thursdays, and Fridays off so those days work best for me but I can also work around my work schedule of 9am to 6pm and do drop in visits/dog walking before and after work. For drop-in visits and dog walking I make sure to follow instructions and I send photo updates consistently with details on how your pet is doing.

About: What sets me apart is my years of experience, combining a deep understanding of both dogs and cats. I’m committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means maintaining routines for senior pets or using positive reinforcement techniques for puppies. My focus is on building trust and ensuring your pet feels at home. I'm currently in school, but I'm available to care for your pets after 3pm on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends. This allows me to provide reliable and consistent care while balancing my studies. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable experience for pets. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, respect their space, and make sure their environment stays clean, safe, and low-stress. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease.

About: My love for animals began early. I was placed on a horse at 1 and spent years attending horse camps. At home, my brothers and I cared for a variety of pets, from little dogs to big ones, along with cats, hamsters, chinchillas, gerbils, and our favorite service dog for medical needs. My mother taught us how to care intentionally for each pet’s routine and medical needs to the best of our ability. Her compassion even inspired me to consider becoming a veterinarian. After leaving home, though, I mainly helped friends and acquaintances with their pet care needs through drop-in visits and overnight stays as needed. Now, as a full-time mom, I want to pass on both love and a sense of responsibility for animals to my children by providing your pets with attentive, compassionate care during their stay with us. We have a dedicated space for your dog to stay comfortably with us, and my oldest son has determined himself to be the food placer already XD. If you only need a drop-in or simply to walk the dog during the day we got you! I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away, knowing your pet is in good hands. My current full-time role is caring for my 2 children at home while growing another little one inside. We have a fairly consistent but flexible daily routine. We are mostly homebound which will allow me to provide all the hours needed to care for your doggy while he/she is with us. We have a dedicated space for dogs that includes pet barriers to allow them to eat and sleep well (separately for dogs from diff pet parents). The kids’ play area is in a separate room to prevent overstimulation. We have a grassy area right outside our unit for convenient potty breaks with plenty of baggies in stock. Our community has a "Bark Park" to let the bigger energetic doggy run free. For hygiene needs, we can do simple dog baths, brushings, wipe downs.

Tracy was great! I have a very old cat that can’t travel with us any longer that needs meds and thyroid shots. Tracy was on time and very attentive to our cat. It was a great feeling to know our cat was being taken care of when we were out of town. We will definitely be booking Tracy again! Thanks for being so wonderful with our baby!

Esmerelda is great at what she does, my dog warmed up to her very quickly and they had fun together. She's a really sweet lady and easy to talk to. This is my first time using the app but feel so comfortable leaving my puppy in good hands with Esmerelda.
