“Devyn is seriously THE best!!! My dog Stanley had such an amazing time with her. She sent detailed updates multiple times a day and truly treated him like her own. I will use her again and again!!”

“This was the best experience I’ve had with having a peace of mind, leaving my dog with somebody that’s capable of taking care of him. Also, the videos that she sent me of him being playful and happy was so comforting. I will be using this app, but definitely looking for her every time I visit Houston because I come out here once a month.”

“I’m so grateful to Dylan, Erica, and Dino for opening their home to care for my sweet Porsche. During his 5-night staycation, he was loved, spoiled, and truly at ease. He and Dino became instant buddies, matching each other’s energy and having the best time together. Porsche enjoyed all of his favorite things and even more than I could have hoped for. I would absolutely love to have them care for my fur-baby again anytime!”

“Leslie is awesome! Great communication, really attentive, always letting me know how Kora was doing. All the pictures she took were beautiful and funny! I could tell my baby was enjoying here time with her! Beyond grateful!”

“Alexis was an amazing last minute dog sitter after my prior plans with another sitter fell through. Moose was immediately happy to see her and ready to go spend the weekend his weekend away from home. Got daily updates/pics annd always knew he was getting plenty of love/attention. Would recommend 10/10.”

“We are repeat customers of Randy. He always takes excellent care of our mini sheepadoodle, Buddy. He sends daily pics, and he’s always responsive. And best of all, Buddy always seems happy to return and catch up with Randy and his crew.”

“Lidia took great care of my two dogs! She is very communicative, sending photos and videos! This is the second time she has watched my dogs and will definitely be using her again!”

“Erik, Anne, and their 2 kids were lovely! They took such great care of my sweet puppy. The updates and communication were excellent and I was able to focus on my work trip because I knew my little fur baby was in great hands. Reach out to them for any of your dog sitter needs- you won’t regret it!”

“Tommie and Jeffrey were the best sitters! Our dog, Freddie, has a blast at their house playing with the other dogs abs snuggling on the couch. They sent multiple pictures daily which really made being away from him easier! They truly cared about our sweet boy and took great care of him. Freddie is already ready to go back to “camp”!”

“Bondi had the best time during her week with Steven! We got to play with lots of other dogs and was constantly cared for. I loved receiving pictures of her during the day. We'll definitely bring her here again!”

About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Camilo did great taking care of my baby! He communicated and sent pictures to keep me updated with how my penny was doing. Would not hesitate to book again with him!”

River Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jacob was fantastic with boarding fof my dog Bandit. He asked all the right questions up front to make sure he understood Bandit’s habits and needs, communicated promptly and professionally, kept me updated throughout the stay, and I could tell he genuinely cares about and understands animals. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Kate! She took fantastic care of Ava, and Ava absolutely loved staying there. She had so much fun playing with their dog Ricky and she loves all of Kate’s housemates (the humans and the fur babies). I can’t recommend her enough—we’ll definitely be booking again!

Zoraya is truly the best out there. She is so understanding, attentive, and caring. Duke absolutely loves spending time at her house, and that gives me so much peace knowing he is being loved and cared for by both her and her family ❤️ I am beyond grateful to have found a second home for my dog whenever I leave town.

Lindsey are her family are simply the best. We drop our Finny off with her and leave town, sometimes very far away, and never worry for one second that he isn’t safe and happy. We feel like he is genuinely loved by their family. As a dog owner who can be anxious about leaving, there just isn’t a better feeling than that!

Antonia was super kind and caring with my dog Chess. She would update me constantly and send photos of him. She also made an accomodation to extend his stay due to travel complications. I was felt at ease knowing he was in good hands, he looked happy. I would book again with Antonia!

Lesly was very friendly and professional. She sent me regular picture updates of my dog Luna who stayed with her for just over a week. She has 2 lovely dogs of her own as well, and I could tell my dog was well looked after and cared for. I'd strongly recommend Lesly and would definitely be open to booking her again.

Stephanie was wonderful with Rooney during his stay with her while we were away for the weekend. You could tell he was relaxed, happy, and loved from the pictures she sent. Stephanie was willing to set up time so the dogs could meet beforehand, was flexible with drop off and pickup times, and was communicative throughout
