“Gabriel was awesome! From first meet and greet, my dog was his biggest fan. Gabriel always sent updates, was very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to using him in the future!!”

“Marissa was an awesome choice for house and pet sitting. All of my animals seemed to enjoy her company while we were on vacation. She made sure to provide updates and pictures throughout her stay with them providing us with trust that they were being well cared for. I definitely recommend Marissa and would happily be a return client.”

About: Yo hablo español! 🐶When it comes to pet sitting, I believe it’s all about making pets feel like they’re at home, even when their owners are away. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and over the years, I’ve learned how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s an elderly dog who needs some quiet time or an energetic dog that loves long walks, I make sure they get the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. What truly sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat them like they’re part of my family. I’m also really mindful of routines, whether it’s feeding, or just the little things that make a pet’s day feel normal. For me, it’s not just about watching over them; it’s about ensuring they’re safe, loved, and at ease until their owners return. 👫🏻I live with my reptile loving husband, I would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. We have a rescue mixed chocolate lab and corgi. They are small but have a lot of energy and enjoy playing with other friends. We also have a princess Guinea pig, Pebbles, who enjoys her personal space and daily fresh snacks. As a full-time special education teacher, routines are a big part of my life, and that structure naturally extends to how I care for pets. In the evenings and on weekends, when I'm not in the classroom, I'm spending time with my own fur babies—taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure each one gets the love and attention they need. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. It helps me slow down after a busy day and brings me so much joy. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick to set routines and always make time to connect with each pet on a personal level. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or someone else’s, I treat them all like family. 🏠 I do offer house sitting services, however I have a family as well that also need my attention and care that I can only do 12 hour schedule (e.g. 7am -7pm). At this time, I will not be able to do overnight stays. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was in college, so looking after pets feels completely natural to me. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, safe, and cozy home for our animal babies, and I bring that same care into any client’s home too. I treat every pet like they’re my own — making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or just giving them lots of attention and playtime, I’m all about making sure they’re happy and safe.
“Emilee was wonderful with our two dogs! They were so happy and comfortable with her. I am so grateful she took such great care of them and I know we will be looking forward to when she can return to sit for us.”

“Stephanie took great care of my cats while I was away. She was able to follow all instructions I left about picking up and dropping off the keys and fob, and gave me plenty of daily updates. I’d greatly recommend her services!”

South Houston pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time in 11 years of having animals we ever left them alone for 5 days and had someone stay overnight at our home the whole time. She was very good with our 4 fur babies and was very personable with them and made them feel like her own. She was very quick with responding and she also kept our home tidy and clean and cleaned up after them! We will be using her again for our next trip!

Marissa did a fantastic job watching our 70 lb poodle mix, Dex, and our home. She's a great communicator as she provided regular updates with photos and video. She even got a new toy for Dex as a Christmas gift! He LOVES new toys. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog - we would definitely book with her again.
