About: I cared for my beloved cat, MiMi, for 21 wonderful years, from his playful kitten days to his senior years. He passed away 2 years ago, and I do miss him every day. When he was still with me, I made sure he had food and water, a clean box, plenty of playtime and cuddles, regular vet visits. I also have experience of caring for my friend's cat. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member to someone else, and I'm committed to giving your fur baby the same care and affection I gave my own. I am available on weekdays, and my schedule is flexible. Please text me and we can discuss what time suits you. Thank you very much. To care for the fur babies, I will follow the instructions from the pet owner. I will play with fur babies to ease their loneliness while their owners are not around.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, so I know how to care for seniors as well as special needs pets. I can also administer medications as needed. I work early mornings until 3pm, so I am available late afternoon and all evening to care for your babies. I’m available all day Friday and Saturday. I would prefer to care for your pet at your home. But I’m willing to make exceptions for small dogs to have them stay in my home. They would be crated while I am away.
“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!”
“Skyler was wonderful! He took great care of our cat and plants and even informed us of a malfunctioning fire alarm in our house. I would definitely book him again.”
“Kitty was in good hands. She was her usual pur monster self when we got back. She was glad to see us and very playful. A testimony to being well cared for. Will certainly book Sabrina again if she's available.”
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. I work from home and will be at home every day, so dogs can be uncrated for most of the day if needed. We can walk, feed and play as their schedule needs. I have a fully fenced yard as well for extended outdoor time. There’s a dog park with a lake very close by if that’s an environment your dog would be comfortable in.
“Sophia kept me updated on how Blu was daily during my time away from home. She took a great care of Blu and I couldn’t thank her enough. Will definitely hire her again in the future. Thank you Sophia!!”
“Katy saved my sanity by coming with very little notice to watch my injured dog while I took a much needed break from nurse duty. As a vet tech, it was nice to get her perspective and know that I’m doing a good job getting Fabio back on his feet. Can’t wait for her to come back after tomorrow!”
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.
“Briana did great with Apollo! I truly appreciate her for coming in on such late notice. She followed our instructions well and I’m glad our pup was well cared for while we were away! Thank you so much Briana!! Would recommend 100%”
About: I've cared for cats my entire life! Everything from playful kittens to shy rescues to senior cats with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and deeply in tune with feline behavior, which helps me quickly earn trust (even from the picky ones!). I can give oral medications, manage feeding routines, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and make sure your cat feels safe and calm while you're away. I treat every cat like they’re my own with patience, respect, and lots of affection (when they're open to it!). Whether your kitty loves playtime or just wants a quiet companion, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I am currently working part-time and from home, so I have plenty of time to hangout with your kitty or pup and give them lots of pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that keeps your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, medication, litter box cleaning, or favorite playtime activities. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you're away. I also send daily updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured. My goal is to give your pet gentle, loving care and help them feel as comfortable as if you never left.
About: Hi! I’m Katherine, a lifelong dog lover based in Sugar Land. I have a dog of my own (his name is Brownie), so I know firsthand how important walks, attention, and routine are for happy pets. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits/check-ins, tailoring each visit to your pet’s needs. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every furry friend feels safe, loved, and cared for. I also provide photo updates and messages during visits so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own, and I look forward to meeting your furry companion! I’m available Monday–Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, and Fridays from 4 PM to 10 PM. I have open availability on weekends. I will give your pets my full attention and make every visit enjoyable and stress-free! I provide loving, attentive care in my clients’ homes, following each pet’s routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. During walks, I ensure dogs stay safe, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy positive attention. For drop-in visits, I offer affection, fresh water, and any special care they need, while sending photo updates so owners always know their pets are happy and safe.
“My pup, Milo, loves Darrius! He did such a great job taking care of Milo and met all of my request. His care for dogs and Communication is much appreciated. He provided updates and pictures of Milo daily which really helped since I was away for an extended period. I highly recommend Darrius!”
About: Doggy day care! This is ideal for me, if your fur babies love to play I have one energetic medium sized pup that can play all day! I also have two seniors that like to just cuddle and play every now and then. I have a very flexible full-time job and do have at least 3 days off a week, these days alternate and I could meet the same schedule you are looking for. I usually take my dogs on a walk around the neighborhood, take them to the dog park, or just let them tire each other out. Depending on your dogs size, I will split up the daily walk. For example, if your dog is more on the large side, I will walk him/her only to give you peace of mind and avoid any incidents. Doggy boarding I am open to different size dogs, I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds. However, the dog must be crate trained. The dog will be out and playing during the day but when it is time for bed time they will be placed in a indoor crate. Doggy-visits and doggy walking I am available for doggy walking and doggy visits in Rosenberg, Richmond, Sugar land, and Stafford. I am also available for select areas of Katy. A little about me I absolutely love ALL animals, sadly I am allergic to cats so I will not board cats however I will do drop-in visits for cats since I sadly can not have one of my own. I have three dogs of my own, they are all fixed. Mia (12) she is a gentle giant senior, she will play from time to time but mostly enjoys sleeping and strolls around the neighborhood. Theo (11) small with a huge personality, he is playful and loves sun bathing. Pixel (6) Medium with sooo much energy, very friendly, loves to play and RUN! I usually take Mia and Theo for a walk, return them to the house, and then take Pixel for a run. I am able to accommodate your fur babies needs as well and will always confirm with the pets owner what they enjoy, what they dislike, etc. Please feel free to ask me any questions! I work full-time near my home. I go home for lunch and again after work at 4pm. This gives me the flexibility to walk to the dogs a couple times a day and use my doggy camera to send them treats as well. I have a fenced yard, dog gate, and crates in my home to utilize when needed. This is mostly used when the dogs are not familiar with each other.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Land
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.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
