“Trinity was amazing! I can tell she really cared about our puppy. She worked with us very well when we had to do a last minute booking. She had great communication with us and remembered to give our puppy her medicine even though I forgot! Trinity also worked on teaching our puppy basic commands and potty training. We know our puppy, miss pickles, will definitely miss Trinity! We will be booking again in the future when needed 🫶”
“I’m crying laughing they braided my dogs hair 😂😂 My dog has never been so comfortable staying somewhere. He’s an old guy so hearing that he’s playing and is energetic is so sweet! Would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my girl while I was away and gave me numerous updates (including pictures) throughout the night. She will be my go-to anytime I need someone to watch my dog.”
“Our puppy Ginger has never been so happy while in the care of someone from Rover. Brenda and her husband were extremely inviting, friendly, and we felt reassured that Ginger was going to be safe and well taken care of while we were out. The best experience we've had on Rover so far.”
About: Hi, I’m Ryanne! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with years of experience looking after both dogs and cats. From daily walks and playtime to in-home overnight care, I’ve done it all, especially with medium dogs and cuddly cats. I’m great at building trust with pets of all personalities and ages, including seniors who need a gentler touch. Whether you’re away for the day or a long trip, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way! As a 22 yr old grad student with classes only three times a week, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings for check-ins, walks, or extended care. I’m also willing to drive to your home for visits and walks, reliable and ready whenever your pet needs me! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment on the first floor, which makes potty breaks easy and stress free. My complex has dog parks and open areas perfect for walks and playtime. I make sure pets feel safe and at home, with plenty of space for toys, beds, or a litter box setup. In client homes, I always follow the pet’s normal routine, respect house rules, and focus on creating a calm, secure environment they feel comfortable in.
“Caitlyn was absolutely amazing! Made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup over the weekend. Sent tons of heartwarming pictures and made sure that my puppy was happy and healthy the whole time. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Meeko has a great time the moment she arrived! Cara was very welcoming and had superb communication and was able to care for my girl in somewhat short notice. I'll definitely be a returning customer anytime I need a sitter! Thank you so much!”
About: I've taken care of all dogs of many sizes for a long time now, all with different personalities and energy levels! If your dog stays with me, I have brain games for them to play, a yard to run in for frequent potty breaks, and I enjoy going on long walks with pups to get some fresh air and good exercise. If you have a couch potato, we can put our feet up and watch some tv! I'll send you frequent videos, texts and pictures while your dog is boarding with me. For puppies, I'm happy to help with potty training, kennel training, and any basic obedience with provided preferred commands. My child will not have access to your dog. I have a dedicated room in my home for my pets that my child is not allowed in. I do this so my pets (and yours) can feel comfortable & relaxed as children can be stressful for animals. I have two fenced play yards so while we play outside, my daughter is still not going to have direct contact. I fully believe in ensuring the safety of pets staying with me as well as my child, so preventative measures will always be taken without compromising your dogs ability to play and have fun while in my care 🩷 We can accomodate energetic dogs to couch potatoes! Pet care is my full time job, other than being a mom! I can dedicate plenty of time with your pet, providing walks, brain games, basic training, and lots of snuggles. I have two fenced yards next to each other, with a kiddy pool for hot weather. All dogs in my care will be supervised while in the yard. I provide frequent updates via text or email, with lots of pictures and videos of your pet. As a pet parent myself, the safety and wellbeing of your dog is my utmost priority and will get a hands-on inspection for wellness every day while in my care.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 15. I have 3 fur babies right now back in Houston, TX. Growing up my family members would ask me to watch out for their babies when it was needed and I absolutely enjoyed it every time. I am currently not working, but I am a full time student at Sam Houston State University, but I am taking online courses online. Therefore, I am available at any time of the day on the weekdays and weekends. I do not have a hard, but I do have a dog park where I can take your baby to have some fun. As for cats, I do have roommates who have 2 cats and if I ever get the opportunity to take care of a cat then they can keep your baby company. They are also in their rooms half of the time so my roommates will be willing to keep them in there while dog sitting if your dog does not get along well with cats.
About: I grew up on a ranch, taking care of all different types of animals, I also have worked in a vet clinic. I am extremely careful and detailed your pet will not go unloved! I am currently working part time and we’ll have plenty of time to make sure that we get all the tail wags and purrs in for the day! There is a park within walking distance. I do have a kennel if that is needed, and I follow strict schedules put on by pet owners! I do not currently have any animals living in my home. They are all ranch animals!
About: I’ve had many many dogs that I have taken care of throughout my life and I also worked at a doggy day care for 7 months! I am a full time college student who is always home in between classes and would be able to care for any pet any time! I am well trained on dogs considering I worked at a dog daycare for many months. I have a lovely and welcoming home and I am more than happy to bring my positivity into your home for you pets as well!
About: I have had my own animals since I was 3 and have taken care of other peoples animals since I could drive at the age 16. I am currently working full time (M-F 7-3) so I can take care of your fur babies in the evenings and/ or weekends. Week days are less flexible. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own. One is lab mix that is very laid back but likes to play occasionally. The other is a high energy boxer. I also allow the animals inside.
About: Howdy friends!I have over 20 years experience sitting various furry family members, including cats, dogs, bunnies, lambs, and even plants! Currently an SHSU Honors student, I am reliable, friendly, and love to keep the customers updated with pictures and texts on how your babies are doing! I'm currently a full-time college student at SHSU. My schedule allows for me to be home by noon for most of the week, with two days that I stay in class until 3pm. I also have 2 girls, ages 9 and 11, that absolutely love animals! We are home bodies, so our pets get constant attention around the clock. I have decent size fenced in backyard, with the option to put in a dog run if need be. I am also able to crate your pet, if need be as well. I have 4 furry family members my self: a toy poodle, chocolate lab, and 2 cats. When the weather is nice, I leave the door open for the pets to go in and out the house into the backyard, so they are always getting some fresh air and sun :) I work on my homework next to a window that peers out into our backyard, so my babies are always in my sight! My dayghters also love to run and play with the pups, so your furry loved one will get lots of attention and exercise. I am more than willing to also take them for small strolls throughout our neighborhood. We often do this with our chocolate lab, and he loves it! My home is very clean, quite, and a comfortable place for your pet to be while you are away! When I am away during the day for classes, my chocolate lab stays outside in the yard (if it's not hot), and my poodle is crated. We have a giant dog house with a bed in it in case it starts to rain. If the temperature outside is too hot, I do leave my chocolate lab inside to free roam the house.
About: I've had family pets since I was a child but I have loved and cared for my own pet for that last 8 years. My sweet Chewbacca is my second child and treated as such in our home. He is family and any fur baby that visits will be loved and treated in the same way. I work part-time away from home during the week but I am only gone 4-5 hours. Your pup will not go more than 5 hours without being let out and will be taken on walks daily while visiting. I do not have a fenced yard but I will let your fur baby out on a leash for safety reasons. My sweet Chewbacca is a lover and a licker and will be thrilled to meet your fur baby. I am happy to crate your pup according to your wants and needs but I personally do not crate my dog and do not mind your pup roaming my house if wanted. Please be sure to let me know of your dogs needs so that I can accommodate.
About: Life without a cat or dog is incomplete to me. I can shamelessly say I love animals more than humans 😅 I have taken care of new born puppies/kitties all the way to senior cats and dogs for majority of my life. I would love to take care of your fur babies 🩷 Pet care starts as soon as I get out of bed (sometimes before I’m even out of bed 😅) I make sure our cats are fed properly, litter boxes cleaned daily. I pay attention to their needs to make sure we have the happiest/healthiest fur babies. For my clients, I will respect whatever wishes you require for your fur babies. I know how important a routine can be in pet care for certain animals. For my cats, I have certain feeding times so their tummies do not get upset and we make sure their litter is cleaned daily

At the time I was working with Samantha I was on my college rodeo team and was out of town for weekends at a time on the rodeo road, and on those sad occasions when the rodeo fairgrounds wouldn’t allow dogs, Sam would so kindly step up to the plate and offer to take my, very energetic full heeler puppy, Brisby. For a whole weekend no questions asked. My boy Brisby and I love Samantha and would trust her with any of my fur babies! Great friend. Great person. 10/10 all around genuine girl.”
