About: Hi, I’m Dominique. I run Paws Please, a small, local dog walking service providing dependable dog walks and drop-in visits for people with busy schedules, short or long term disabilities, or anyone who needs me-time in The Woodlands, Spring, and nearby Conroe areas. I just launched and am looking for new clients. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for breeds including Maltese, Schnauzer, and Shiba Inus through different life stages, from puppies to senior dogs. Spending time with dogs has always brought me a sense of calm, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. My approach is patient, attentive, and relaxed. I believe walks should give dogs time to safely explore, sniff, decompress, and stay active while maintaining a consistent routine. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently offer weekday dog walks and drop-in visits between 6 AM and 11 AM, allowing me to stay organized, attentive, and consistent with each client. I follow each client’s care instructions carefully, prioritize secure walks and safe neighborhood routes, and do not offer group walks with dogs from different households, allowing for more focused, attentive care and a calmer experience for your pet. I’m fully insured and take pet safety seriously. Also, I provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel connected and at ease while your pet is in my care.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs from my previous work at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and supervision. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I always treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I have a dog of my own, so pet care is naturally part of my everyday routine. From morning walks and feeding to playtime, training, and evening wind-downs, I’m always hands-on and attentive. Caring for my dog has taught me consistency, patience, and the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged—skills I bring to every animal I look after. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent, making sure they’re fed, walked, and comfortable, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep the environment safe, clean, and familiar so each pet feels relaxed and well cared for.

About: From horses, to dogs and cats, I have enjoyed taking care of an array of animals for most of my life. It is a joy that has never gone away, and so I plan to expand that to not just my own pets, but to yours as well. I have volunteered in many cat and dog neutering/spaying events, learned horse care at a sanctuary, and my most recent, I got to work at a Pet Boarding facility. While I loved being there for the dogs and had lots of fun, it was difficult to watch cats be stressed due to them being in a place outside of their home(territory for them: )). A lot them would not eat well, and not want to play and seemed just seemed very out of place. So I figured, there needs to be more people wanting to specifically pet sit for cats and come to them, not the other way around. There is where I want to offer you my services. I will play with, and of course offer much love and many pets to your cats. Make sure their space is clean, including their feeding and water bowls, litter of course, so they can be comfortable while you are gone. My goal is make you and your cat or cats feel like they are in your own hands! I am currently working on the research phase of a future business I would like to have, so besides taking care of my own cats, I have time to help others as well. I want my clients to feel confident, safe, and enthusiastic about leaving not only their beloved pet family members with me, but also allowing me to be in their home. I understand it is vulnerable position for some people, so know that I strive to make your pets and your space a priority just as I would treat my own.

“Heather did a PHENOMENAL job with my two cats while I was away. One of my cats is slow to warm up to people and he was great with Heather. Heather made sure that they were fed, had water, and that their litter boxes were clean. The reports that I got daily really put me at ease while I was gone. I'm already planning on booking Heather again.”

About: Caring for animals isn't just our profession—it's our passion. My husband and I have dedicated more than 20 years to working with pets and helping families feel confident that their furry loved ones are in caring, capable hands. I am a licensed veterinary technician, and my husband is a professional dog trainer who manages a pet daycare facility. Together, we have decades of experience in veterinary medicine, boarding, behavior, and everyday pet care. From energetic puppies to senior pets and those with special medical needs, we have the knowledge and experience to provide the personalized care each pet deserves. We understand that every pet is unique, and we treat each one as if they were our own. Whether your pet needs medication, extra attention, or simply a safe, loving place to stay, we're committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Having the luxury of working close to home means pets are not left in the home for extended time. Someone is home with them in the mornings, back for an afternoon break and then home for the day by 3pm. If your pet needs more constant care they can travel with me to work. We have two spare bedrooms, plenty of dog beds, chew toys and cuddle zones. We have a very secure fenced in yard and also have paved walking paths for walks near by. Our pets are very friendly and love playing with others. However if you prefer not to have your pet socialize with ours we can accommodate that also.

“Sage is such a gift! Over our extended absence (3+ weeks), Sage was responsive to Grace’s needs, using her impressive decision making skills demonstrative of her wide knowledge base. She took excellent care of our home and completed routine tasks to ensure our home was secure during our absence and more pleasant than we left it upon our return. The best accolades I can offer about Sage came from Grace herself. She is an old Russian Blue with a history of kidney problems. She also has a tendency to anxiously lick her body and develop irritated areas on her abdomen. She also is prone to dander. Sage clearly took pristine care of her, brushing and supplementing diet as needed without direction, as Grace looked and behaved absolutely beautifully upon our return. I would hire Sage to care for my sweet Grace without reservation again. I strongly recommend Sage due to her innate gift with animals. She is also adaptable and innovative and has the confidence to do what is best without direct instruction. Finally her responsiveness and reliability were reassuring. I recommend Sage without and reservation! You will be lucky to have her skilled help!”

About: I’ve grown up around many different breed of dogs, and many different kinds of animals. I have watched animals for family and friends for years, whether they’re puppies or senior. I figured it was time to extend my services as it’s something I really enjoy. I am very attentive and treat every animal like they’re my own! I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and recently had to step away from my job, so I am home all day, and always looking for something to do. This means I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all of the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard and one little dog named Peanut, who just loves other animals! We go out in the yard for a bit every morning and after breakfast and then go for our morning walk around our very dog friendly neighborhood, and repeat again in the afternoon after dinner! There is also a large dog park that is typically unoccupied that Peanut loves to run around and play at!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Shenandoah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Shenandoah is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,776 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shenandoah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shenandoah choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Shenandoah with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
