About: I have over 18 years of experience a both owning and fostering for dogs, from many breeds, Chihuahua to German Shepherds, from puppies to older pups. I’ve also been through several obedience trainings and have experience administering medication. We can walk, feed and play as their schedule needs. Dogs can be uncrated for most of the day, however they will be crated at night. We have a fully fenced yard for extended outdoor time and ability to stick to potty schedules. For home visits, we provide a bathroom break, a walk or playing fetch.
About: I have been taking care of dogs over 10+ years! From family dogs to working at two pet resorts as well! My experience with dogs range from Pomeranians to pitbulls and cane Corsos! I have watched single dogs to managing packs of dogs as well (5+), and while maintaining a fun and relaxed environment for dogs, but also a safe environment! I will be busy with class in from 11-3:30, but can walk dogs before or after then! I am completely free on the weekends as well! And it varies per day on my availability (depending on the time of my class, I might get out earlier!) In my clients home, I will feed, bathe, and take the dog(s) on walks, following their schedule the owner provides! I will make sure no harmful food or toys are out as well, providing a fun and safe environment for the dog(s)!
About: My entire life, my home has been described as the neighborhood’s “local zoo.” From livestock to pocket pets, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years. I’ve volunteered working hands-on with animals at the zoo, and currently care for two dogs, one cat, some small animals, and fish I’ve been pet sitting for over five years and have experience with many dog breeds, ages, and personalities. I focus on building trust, supporting positive behavior, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable in my care. I believe pets deserve to enjoy being animals—without unnecessary stress—while still feeling understood and respected by the humans around them. I’m currently a full time commuting student. My school hours will begin at 8am and end at 4:30pm most days. I will be available to feed and walk your pet before and after these timings. Weekends I am free with notice. Pets are allowed supervised free roam of my home. During the day, they will likely be confined to one room or a crate if needed while I’m at school. Pets will have unlimited access to water, other dogs to interact with, plenty of toys, etc.
“Jasmine was so awesome! My cats loved her and she was reliable and easy to communicate with. It’s obvious she loves animals and showed great care and attention to my three cats. I’d happily use her again!!”
“Joanna was amazing to work with! From the moment we met, I trusted her to come in my home and care for my sweet puppy. She is experienced and knows what she is doing, and I felt very comfortable with her. She is prompt, easy to communicate with and really cared for my dog. She will be my first phone call in the future!”
“First time using Rover and Skyler made it so EASY because his communication was outstanding. I really enjoyed that my dogs were in their environment and I wasn't worried about kennel cough. Skyler provided great pictures while I was out of town and my dogs had a great time while he was there to feed them and care for them.”
“Summer is great at working with my stubborn dogs! She is very kind, patient, and understanding. I love the full updates she provides of every little detail no matter how big or small!”

About: I grew up with dogs and owned one for majority of my life. I love caring for them and getting to play with them. Every dog is different and I love to see each one’s personality! I have two dogs at home, and our routine is getting up in the morning letting them out of their crate to have their morning business, then feeding them and getting to play with them before I have to get ready. I will treat your dogs with great care and respect as I do with my fur babies. I will execute any instructions given to me to secure both of our safeties.
About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with hands-on experience working with animals of all personalities and backgrounds. I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 9 years after adopting him from a shelter, which has given me real-life experience understanding different temperaments and needs. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with both dogs and cats, including helping rescue and socialize stray cats so they can become comfortable around people. As a Petco-certified positive reinforcement dog trainer, I focus on reward-based methods that build trust and encourage good behavior. I have experience with everyday training needs such as leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building, and I always prioritize a safe, low-stress approach. I take the time to tailor my care to each pet, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and anxious. I’m very attentive and will always follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, with some set work hours Friday through Sunday as a dog trainer. I typically work 5-hour shifts, and on occasional closing shifts I may be unavailable in the evening until around 9:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m committed to maintaining consistency and reliability for every visit. I also have reliable transportation, allowing me to arrive on time and accommodate scheduling needs whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities during every visit. I have experience working with anxious animals, including my own dog, and understand how to read body language and create a calm, low-stress environment. As a dog trainer, I’m experienced in handling a variety of behaviors and reinforcing positive habits safely. My background as a veterinary assistant has also given me knowledge of animal health, proper handling, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I treat every home with respect and make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, attention, and consistency.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Land
I would 100% recommend Kaitlyn B. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. She was very personable and easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. A bonus that made me smile was her daily updates that showed she was paying close attn to our dogs- she really captured each of their personalities and habits. I hope she is available next time we go out of town!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! Mad was a great communicator throughout the entire time she watched them, sending updates and photos that put our minds completely at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable and caring for their fur babies!
It was my first time using Rover and actually first time leaving my dog in the hands of a stranger. Natalie was so awesome and took such good care of our doberman Murphy. She maintain great communication throughout and even with the couple hiccups we ran into like our door pad not working, she worked with me on a solution. She was so patient and understanding. I highly recommend her!
JaQuia was absolutely amazing with my dog! From start to finish, her communication was excellent, keeping me updated and giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she has a genuine passion for dogs and truly cares about their well-being. My dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend JaQuia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and caring sitter through Rover. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾
I cannot recommend Paul enough! Watching my older pug, Baillee, with special needs was no easy task, but Paul was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, attentive, and followed every detail of her care perfectly. Getting daily photos and sweet updates put my mind at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pug! If you need a sitter who truly loves and understands senior dogs, look no further!"

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sugar Land stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Sugar Land 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Sugar Land with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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