“Darrius was amazing with my two pups. We had to travel last minute and he was quick to respond and schedule a meet & greet. He sent texts with updates along with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Darrius and will absolutely use him in the future.”

“5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!”

“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”


“Alex is amazing with our big lovable golden retriever! So nice to know Colt has a friend when we go out of town. Great communication and would have him dog sit anytime!”

“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”


“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my expertise in both puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring personalized attention at every stage of your dog’s life. Reliable care with a focus on your dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether it's energetic walks or low-impact exercise, I tailor my services to suit your dog’s unique needs. As a part-timer, I carefully schedule pet care around my other commitments, ensuring flexibility to accommodate each pet's needs. I prioritize consistency and quality, fitting in walks, playtime, and care sessions throughout my week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and personalized attention. I maintain a routine that includes feeding, training, and rest. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet's usual routine. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care requirements, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space.
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”

“Peggy has watched our dog and two cats twice now and I trust her implicitly! It is so nice to be able to leave and know our pets are in the best hands! Will always go to Peggy if she's available!”

“Alexi was absolutely the best sitter/human being. We feel so blessed that she was our person while we were away. Our lab, Koa, loves her and we do too. She was very good about sending us updates throughout our trip along with pictures. We highly recommend her (but selfishly I don’t want to because we want to keep her to ourselves)😉 but know we can’t….she’s that special. She took great care of not only our beloved dog but also our house.”

“Sophia was a joy to work with and kept watch over my furbabies so I could go out of town for a few days. I was very comfortable leaving her in charge of not only my pets, but my home as well. She kept in contact and shared photos of what they were doing. I will definitely use her services again!”


“Fantastic! Jenna and her sister Morgan watched my Golden Retriever for 5 days while we went on vacation. They sent tons of pictures and messages while we were away. My house was immaculate upon returning and my dog was happy.”

“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”

“Paul did such a wonderful job taking care of our boys and our house! He was very attentive and responsive and left absolutely no trace behind other than going above & beyond and even taking the garbage out. He sent us lots of photos and our dogs seemed to love having Paul at the house. We’ll definitely be having Paul back any time!!”

About: Although I may be new to the Rover app, I am not at all new to pet care! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! I have multiple years of experience volunteering at a small animal vet clinic where I got to meet and care for some wonderful animal friends. I have in depth experience and I am comfortable in administering medications and physical therapy for your pet if needed. On top of my volunteer experience, I have taken care of dogs and cats all my life growing up not only my own, but also friends and family alike have trusted me with their babies. I care for every animal like it’s my own and I love making a connection with each and every one of them. A bonus is my cousin is a small animal vet down the road and just one phone call away, so you know your furry friend is in good hands. I am currently going through a work transition out of a 2 year structural engineering career. I am really flexible with my schedule where I will be able to show your baby all the attention and love they deserve. I am available in the morning, midday, afternoon, and night. I am 100% free on weekends and weekdays, so you know your animal friend will be loved on just as much as if you were there. I can expertly provide services including gentle loving playtime with your pet in your own home, taking them out into the backyard, cleaning crates and other used areas, regular feed times and medicine, and regular neighborhood walks. I am gentle and respectful of your home and your property when providing at-home-care. I am also super comfortable taking care of your pet at my own home. I live in a large townhome in a good neighborhood that is perfect for peaceful strolls and backyard fun. The house is pet-friendly and secure. Whether it’s a short walk in the park/neighborhood or a long stay at my home, you can be sure that your animal is getting all the love and care they deserve!
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and work to ensure pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and provide a calm, caring environment. I understand the importance of trust and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
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: I have experience with animals of all ages and physical conditions and understand the concept of a customized plan for your fur babies. I have rescued stray cats and dogs and ensured they were sheltered appropriately. Granted this is a different circumstance but just know that I would go to bat for any of your fur babies. Pet owner for over 10+ years. I am currently working full time as an analyst but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and comfort for your fur babies. I am able to do anything from boarding to drops in to home visits. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog and cat that would be comfortable with new animals if that is of concern. I can provide additional services of administering medications, brushing, etc at no extra charge. Besides your fur animals deserve royal treatment without you breaking the bank.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, from tiny teacup pups to Pit Bulls, Labs, Boxers, Weimaraners, and many more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently share my home with two Yorkies who mean the world to me. In my free time, I volunteer with the Houston Humane Society, where I’ve accumulated over 40 hours of dog walking, cat socialization, and pet pantry assistance. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced my passion for caring for pets. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, conversation, exercise, and companionship. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. I make it a priority to take breaks during my workday to recharge, and I often spend that time interacting with pets, whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or simply enjoying their company. My home is pet-friendly and equipped with a water and feeding station. My dogs are indoor pets, and most of the animals I care for are as well. My apartment complex also features a fenced, secure dog park suitable for all breeds. I also enjoy capturing photos of your furry friend and sharing them with you, along with any cute videos or updates throughout their stay.

I have never had such a great cat sitter in my life! She spent so much time with my pets, spent the night, and left my place spotless! Priya is extremely communicative and intelligent. She also managed a handoff of my dog with his boarding rover sitter while my flight was delayed. She’s the best!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Nelson. He treated my two dogs as if they were his own—he even slept with them, so they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. He walked them every day and kept me updated throughout my trip, sending plenty of pictures and notes. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Nelson to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets with genuine love and dedication.

Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙

TLDR: Four thumbs up, and four paws up for Zahra. Zahra did a terrific job watching our boys. She sent pictures and did an awesome job of communicating. At the risk of having to share our exceptional dog sitter, she really is pretty special. Please feel free to use her any time we aren't! By the way she has a terrific sense of humor and, bare-handed, fought off a chupacabra, just to protect our poor innocent puppers! PS the dogs helped write this review and the chupacabra has gone back to wherever chupacabras come from!
