“Renee was fantastic with our dog. Her home was welcoming and with the space necessary for our medium sized dog! She is caring and kind and will always be one of our first calls on Rover!”

“Karla Michelle went above and beyond for our puppy Brody! She sent videos and pictures everyday and was always extremely responsive. It was so nice to know Brody was taken care of while we were on vacation. We will be booking Karla Michelle for future stays. Thank you so much!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my 15 yo lil dog with someone but he required more care and hates being in a kennel. I tried Julie and she was very accommodating for Harley’s needs and temperament. She sent updates and answered questions while he was in her care. She did an great job and we are very happy we found her!”
“Shanna is tremendously great and wonderful! She definitely gave my dog son Luca a warm welcome. I would seriously recommend her again to others who need to board their pets. 5/5!!!!!”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”

“Awesome awesome awesome! I absolutely appreciate Akie so much! She communicates well and is very understanding. I had a messy schedule this time and she helped out way more that I could have asked. Definitely recommend and definitely my go to in this area.”

“This is our second time booking with Maribel. She gave us daily updates and sent us tons of photos. Our dogs love her and she took great care of them. I think I found my permanent dog sitter. 11/10 would recommend!”

“So happy to have our pups stay with her last minute! She gave updates/pictures and is quick to respond. Will definitely go back to her again when we need someone to watch our dogs!”

About: I’m reliable, caring, and have a love for animals. I offer attentive house and pet sitting you can truly feel good about. I come from a stable, quiet home environment with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets the time and attention the deserve. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful by treating every home with care and mindfulness, just as I would my own. You can count on me to keep routines running smoothly while making sure your pets feel safe and well cared for. I love all four-legged friends and enjoy spending my time in a meaningful way. This isn’t just about earning a little extra income, although that helps. It’s something I simply enjoy and take seriously, so you can travel with complete peace of mind knowing everything is in good hands. I work very little during the summer and have very flexible hours during the academic year. I am available and willing to take care of your pets exactly how they need to be cared for. I have a clean, good sized house with a fenced yard with plenty of grass. Our home is very pet friendly, where the animals are allowed on furniture and have dog beds on every room.

“Barbara was great with my dog! He stayed with her for 4 days! She’s reliable, trustworthy, passionate, caring, and most of all, goes above and beyond. Her house is very clean, tidy and SAFE for dogs. My dog was so happy with her and I felt extremely relieved. She’s very attentive to his needs and truly cared about him. She is a great dog sitter and I would definitely send my little doggie to her again and recommend her boarding services! I loved how she would keep me updated by always sending me photos and videos! Thank you Barbara for caring and thank you for being professional!”

“Angelita was great! She took great care of our English bulldog Taz. Even though he is a high maintenance dog, she still took the time to do his daily wrinkle cleansing and we really appreciate that. She was very accommodating to a last minute extension of our trip. We are thankful for the care of our fur baby.”


“As always, great amazing sitters for both my babies. This stay was a few nights, we got pictures and updates, I love that so much. I'm so sad that we're moving out of state this week. Wish we could take Jill & Liz with us! We won't find anyone else like them that cared for our babies like we do. Thank you so much Jill & Liz, you guys are truly the best and will be greatly missed. ❤”

“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”


“Anna and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for 6 days. We got daily updates and pictures. Her home is very pet friendly with lots of area to play in. Call her and you will be in good hands.”

“Andy took good care of my dogs. They were relaxed when I picked them up. My medium sized dog enjoyed playing fetch. The little one enjoyed being cared around in the pouch. Andy cares about dogs. He has a large shaded yard.”

“First time leaving our one year old rowdy boy Lance. Breanna sent videos and checked in with us. Our dog looks like he had the time of his life !!! Not sure he'll want to be home. Totally recommend Breanna. We will definitely use her again.”

“We are new to Rover and so happy that we found Jennifer…She was so excited to meet our Luna and definitely catered to her every need while she was staying with her…We’ve never left Luna with someone other than family but she stayed with Jennifer for a week and was pampered cared for and walked everyday…She also sent us pictures and kept us updated even when I wasn’t able to always respond…If we ever need someone to sit for Luna again Jennifer will be our first pick…”

“Alondra was very sweet and very attentive with Daisy. She kept me up to date on her and Daisy activities. I would recommend Alondra for your furry baby needs.”

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Renee and her family were the best! They were able to help watch Zuko over a long weekend with very short notice. Renee sent cute photos of Zuko meeting her dogs and he seemed to have a good time hanging out with Renee’s human sons. I would highly recommend Renee and trust her to watch Zuko again in the future

Jasmine is Amazing! I was so stressed about being away from my senior pup with medical needs but Jasmine really calmed my nerves with her calm and kind disposition! She took exceptional care of my pup and provided regular updates! I Will definitely request her services in the future!

Liz and Jill were amazing. It was my first time boarding my two dogs. After three nights and constant updates and photos, it made me very comfortable and I knew they were being well cared for. One dog didn't eat much the first day, and I received a photo of her being spoon feed. Aww, melted my heart. I will book again for sure. Thanks Liz and Jill.

Lisa was exceptional and very accommodating on short notice. She responded quickly to any inquiries and would regularly send updates. Millie looked like she was having a great time in the pictures and videos Lisa sent. I would highly recommend Lisa and would not hesitate to use her again!
