“Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!”

“Chloe exudes trustworthiness and competence. She's lovely to interact with, communicative every step of the way, and without a doubt one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. We could not be more grateful for Chloe and her expert handling of a worst-case scenario with our pet, Tulip. Our kitty Tulip had a life-threatening medical event while we were away, and we were so thankful that it was Chloe looking after her. At the first warning sign of Tulip's condition worsening, Chloe contacted us immediately and was prepared to use her good judgment to take her to the vet. She did end up having to take her in, and stayed up through the night keeping us informed with updates, all while balancing the care of our other cat, Lily. Chloe stayed calm and collected and was a source of reassurance throughout this pet parent's worst nightmare. Our sweet Tulip came out the other side okay, thanks to Chloe's quick thinking, her skill working with animals, and her excellent communication. Disaster was averted, and we can't thank her enough for it. If you're looking for someone to trust with your pet, it's Chloe.”

“This was the third time we used Dani while were out of town. Dani is responsive, easy to work with, very responsible, and most importantly excellent with our dogs. I highly recommend her and have already booked her again!”

“Jayla is a fantastic dog sitter! We had to leave our pup for close to 2 weeks and Jayla took good care of him and made sure he was happy and cozy while we were away! She sent us pictures of him every day and did an amazing job maintaining his routine. We're so grateful for her excellent care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, responsive, and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hi! Life long animal lover. I’m a former private chef turned house sitter and currently a dog trainer student. With my children grown and a life of ease, house and pet sitting gives me exactly what I love most — purposeful connection, beautiful animals, and the privilege of caring for someone’s most important things while they’re away. I care for cats and dogs full time which allows me to be very flexible when it comes to your sitting needs. With a lifetime of experience caring for others, a professional standard built from years in hospitality and culinary arts, and a genuine love for animals that goes beyond a side hustle. As an empty nester my energy is calm, clean, and completely focused on whoever — and whatever — is in my care. No small children, no chaotic schedules, no distractions are part of my daily lifestyle. When your pets are with me they have my full attention, my full presence, and the kind of unhurried care that only comes from someone who actually wants to be there. What you can expect from me: — A hospitality-trained professional who treats your home with the same respect she’d want for her own — Consistent communication — updates, photos, and check-ins so you can actually enjoy your time away — A calm, experienced presence for animals of all temperaments — I understand animal behavior, I read energy well, and I don’t rattle easily--I'll be learning delving more into professional certified dog training and animal behaviorist soon. Did I mention that, "I love this lifestyle?" I do. — Someone who genuinely loves this — not as a gig, but as a natural extension of who I am. I pet sit full time. Therefore I'm free to travel and pet sit any hour or day. Last minute sits are welcomed. Reach out anytime. I am reliable, discreet, warm, and deeply committed to the trust you place in me when you hand over your keys. Your home and your animals will be in good hands. That’s not a promise I make lightly.

“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! We were away for 17 days, which is a long time to leave our dogs and cat, but we felt completely at ease the entire trip. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how well our pets were being cared for. It was clear that our dogs and cat were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. In fact, they looked like they were on vacation themselves! Seeing them so relaxed and content made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying. The communication, professionalism, and genuine care for our pets exceeded all expectations. We are incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. Highly recommend!”

“Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”

Stacy A.

“Rory was wonderful while watching our animals. She sent frequent pictures and I had no concerns about them while they were in her care. We will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and spent 6 summers working as a competitive dog trainer, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read dogs, understand their individual needs, and build trust with them through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I grew up with dogs in my family and have always loved how naturally friendly, loving, and fun they are to be around. Now that I live in Houston away from my friends, family, and the dogs I grew up with, Rover feels like the perfect way to bring dogs back into my life while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in experienced, caring hands. Whether your dog wants a long walk, some playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a comfortable companion while you’re away, I’d love to spend time with them! I work full-time in Houston, so I’m typically available for dog sitting, walks, and drop-ins during evenings and on weekends. My schedule can vary a bit depending on work, but I’m happy to plan ahead and coordinate around your dog’s routine. I’m especially interested in weekend stays and sitting opportunities, but I also have flexibility for evening walks and drop-ins when I’m in town. I travel occasionally, so I keep my availability calendar updated and will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance. I’m looking forward to filling my free time with some four-legged friends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My years of competitive dog training taught me how to read body language, recognize when a dog is uncomfortable or overstimulated, and adjust my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication routines to walks, house rules, and anything else that helps your dog feel at home. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll communicate consistently, provide updates while you’re away, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“My two girls loved Victoria!!! Every day she took them on walks, and gave them their every daily essentials. She would send us pictures numerous times during the day with her daily interactions that made us feel reassured that they were being well taken care of. She’s a sweet and nurturing person that you know that your fur babies are being well taken care of. The house was very clean and the girls were well picked up after.”

About: I grew up with three family dogs, Oso, Manchas, and Spike. I was involved in raising Manchas and Spike, cared for, and helped with end of life care for all three. I've walked everything from small doggies to a 90 lb Labrador Retriever, so I'm comfortable with a range of sizes and energy levels. I've also spent time around dogs who are selective with other dogs or guard food and toys, so I know how to stay alert and keep everyone safe. I work for a disaster recovery non-profit that is 90% WFH. Aside from a couple of set meetings, my schedule is often pretty flexible, nights and weekends included. I take my cues from the pet in front of me. I’m patient and can adapt to their moods. I’m good at respecting their boundaries as well as the parent’s boundaries.

“Daniela was such a blessing! From day one she was very responsive and professional. I made her come to my house twice for meet and greet because i have two Dobermans and i needed them to get familiarized with her before my trip. She accomodated my last minute changes and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My dogs are very high maintenance and extremely velcro so i was worried it would be too much for Daniela but nope! Got so many pictures and updates that i didnt worry about my doggos (or my house) while i was on vacation. She went above and beyond and left the house even cleaner than how i left it. Even gave freyja a bath. Not ever booking with anyone else other than her :) happy with my first ever rover experience and very thankful i found her.”

“Jill was such a blessing to me when I went out of the country for six days and had to leave my two babies behind. She showed up on time, took her job seriously and sent frequent photos and updates to ease my mind. I work from home so my pups are used to having people around most of the day and Jill was one of the few sitters I talked with who was happy to spend a lot of time with them so they were rarely alone. She kept them, fed, gave my older dog his heart medicine and provided enough love so I came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. And best of all, I was able to enjoy some time away knowing they were in good hands.”

Rhea D.

“Gladiola was great! Very communicative, reliable, and great with my cat and dog. I got loads of pictures, regular updates, and both pets were well taken care of. I'd be happy to have her petsit again next time I'm out of town.”
