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.
“Leslie takes great care of our dog. He is very comfortable and happy with Leslie. We can see this in the pictures that Leslie sends and it gives us complete peace of mind while we are away. She is absolutely wonderful.”

“Kelsie is a wonderful sitter. She watched my two pups over the weekend and sent me daily updates. My pups were happy and well cared for when I picked them up. Would definitely recommend Kelsie to watch your pets! 😊”

“Jocelyn and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobbie. She sent frequent updates and pictures while we were away and we know that Dobbie had a great time. ”

“Mariyana is such a doll and paid lots of attentive care to my little crazy boy! She was very communicative- providing updates throughout his stay which I loved! He definitely had a blast and was sad when he left. She sat him during the madness of a power outage we had during the derecho and I greatly appreciate her last minute acceptance of my boy. Thank you, M! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️”


“I’m usually a nervous wreck anytime I leave Benny but Emi went above and beyond taking care of him while I was gone! She sent me multiple pictures throughout the day & I could tell he was enjoying himself with all of the toys she had for her own dog. 100% will be booking her again in the future!”

I would definitely book with LeeAnna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Fanny was absolutely wonderful with Sage and Cheeto! She kept me updated the whole time with messages and the sweetest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind.

“Don’t hesitate, just book. Angelique has been one of the best pup sitters I’ve come across. She was flexible with extending my dog stay, and treated my pup with the upmost care”

“My dog is very anxious and can be weird about taking walks, but Ryan was great at letting him get used to him/comfortable with him and was even able to get him to go on walks after a while. I really appreciated Ryan’s text and picture updates because I miss my pup so much when I’m away from him! He was always super quick to respond, and his apartment location is really convenient as well. I will be using Ryan again!”

“Elena was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and communicated to us throughout each day with updates. We definitely will use her services again! Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks
The best!!! We're traveling to visit family and friends. We found Rachel and Keith. Absolutely amazing! After 3 days, we picked them up; I don't think they recognized us anymore. Hershey is an 18-year-old Yorkie with limited mobility. They helped him get stronger, and he has so much pep in his step after we picked him up. Leila absolutely adored Keith from the pictures sent to us. They provided them with outside and indoor activities with so much love. They consistently took them out to potty that they didn't really need the pee pads. They are very consistent with their schedule and taught me how to take care of Hershey better. We are so grateful for them and will definitely book with them again when we visit Houston.

We had a wonderful experience! Our dog stayed with him for 5 days and he took great care of her the whole time. He sent us photos and videos throughout the stay, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. He’s super nice and approachable, and it was clear our dog felt very comfortable with him. We’ll definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!

Genevieve was absolutely amazing with Rocky! He is a working lone German shepherd and has a lot of energy, and she did such a great job keeping him active with multiple walks each day. While her home is on the smaller side, she has a fenced yard and a beautiful trail right next to her house, so Rocky had plenty of opportunities to get outside and burn off energy. She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky genuinely didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. I would absolutely trust Genevieve with Rocky again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!

We left our miniature dachshund with Cherie for 4 days and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her husband were incredibly kind and attentive. They sent us multiple photos every day and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us total peace of mind. Our pup enjoyed daily walks and loved playing with their dog, who is super friendly and welcoming. Our dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!

Madeline was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my dog like one of her own. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book with Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Olga is very nice and she loves small dogs! She was excited to take care of Yuna and Beans! They were anxious the first day but after the spending the night, they warmed up to her well. She takes them on walks even though they might resist because walks are good for them!

Jalen was a great dog sitter for my dog. He was very communicative. We met beforehand. He asked questions to know how to best serve my dog. When I picked my dog up after the stay he was very happy and you could tell he started to form a great relationship with Jalen. My flight was delayed and Jalen was able to accommodate the schedule change. I recommend Jalen for your pet sitting needs.

We had a wonderful experience! Kristen took great care of Fawn, and communication was always easy, quick, and friendly. Sunny is such a calm, gentle, and easygoing dog. Even our dog, who can be quite selective around other dogs, was comfortable with Sunny, so I think Sunny would be a great match for cautious or picky dogs. We’d be happy to book with her again. Highly recommend!
