“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!”

Crystal also kept me updated, letting me know when she was on her way and when she arrived. When took care my girl. Thank you so much Crystal. You did amazing. Can’t wait work with you 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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. Growing up we always had a lab that I took care of then as I got older other family and friends would ask me to watch their dogs when they were out of town. I have taken care of everything from chihuahuas and mini schnauzer’s to German Sheppards and Great Pyrenees. I’m currently available Monday- Friday after 3 until about 8:30 for drop ins and walks. I can be booked on A regular basis so your doggos can have a familiar face each week. I am also occasionally available on weekends for a drop in or walk. I make sure to follow directions provided to ensure your fur baby is well taken of and stays on a routine. If I have any questions along the way I make sure to ask.
“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!"”
About: I love animals. I own 3 dogs and I’ve been told by strangers that their dogs have taking a liking to me. I’m very good with animals and kids too. I’ve had several dogs before so I know what a responsibility taking care of them are , but seeing them wag their little tails and jumping around is a reward. I’m an outgoing , determined , social & communicative person. I’m also very straightforward and caring. Many people have told me I’m the person they come to first if they need anything, because I’m always that person you can count on. Let’s just say I have a way with words like nobody else, and that is the reason people see me as the great person i am.
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
“Thank you again Sabrina for taking care of the furbaby's and handling the antics they did this go round. I'm still discovering hidden bits of couch cushion...haha.”
About: You can call me Deji! I have been taking care of dogs/puppies for about 3 years but more heavily for the last year. I have taken care of cats, a few snakes, and reptiles. I’m open to all creatures except for bugs. I am very much a dog person though and like to get to know the character of each of them. I have a very flexible schedule. I tend to find a way to conduct my schedule like the dog to make things easier. I do also work at home Saturday thru Wednesday so I’m home most of the day anyways. I can be flexible with scheduling based on requests. When feeding I separate the dogs no matter what. Other than that I try to make them socialize and be free as much as possible. I like when dogs feel free around the home. I especially like they are involved in the activity I’m doing.
“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: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life since childhood, and I currently take care of my two dogs and my cat. I love teaching dogs tricks, giving calmer pets cuddles and attention, and running around with active pets! I am a commuter student with mostly online classes, so I have lots of free time. I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays anytime before 6:00 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 6:00 p.m.; and my weekends are available by request, feel free to message me! I will follow your pet’s routine as much as I can for drop-ins. I can handle feeding them, bathroom breaks, litter box scooping for cats, and of course giving them attention! I will attempt to handle their medication if needed, based off instructions and experience required I will be honest about whether or not I can fulfill that requirement. For dog walks, I will keep their pace and secure them on their leash accordingly.
About: I always make sure to go by the rules & routine of the owners when it comes to feedings, walks, medications, etc. If I have any questions or concerns, I contact them directly. I have taken care of many dogs & cats ranging from a variety of my friends/family members and a few neighbors. My favorite part is cuddling and/or playing with them because that just brings me joy. My job is pretty flexible, so I’ll be able to take a dog on a walk or feed any dogs or cats mid day. In my home, my cat has an area of his food & water as well as a separate area for his litter box. His sleeping area varies because he’s our spoiled boy. I make sure that if the pet makes any kind of mess that I clean it up right away with any cleaning supplies that are available and wash laundry if needed.
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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for basically my whole life. There has never been a time in my life where I wasn’t surrounded by dogs! I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I can help you at any time of the day any day of the week! I have a fenced off yard and 3 friendly dogs including 2 Shih Tzu’s and a Pomeranian. I have multiple crates if needed and let them out and in when needed.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently cohabitate with 2 chill canines & have enjoyed fraternizing with many a feline friend! I work from home, volunteer & foster with Best Friends Animal Society, & petsit for friends & family. Other side hustles include renting out my pool on Swimply and providing caregiving services for friends and neighbors. I’m a retired teacher with a heart for service and lots of time, patience, & love to give! Our home has 2 empty bedrooms, so anxious guests (cats especially) can initially have their own space to decompress if needed. As they adjust & decide to venture out, there's a pet gate separating the guest “wing” from the main house, which allows for visual inclusion while providing a physical safety barrier & peace of mind for timid or socially awkward visitors. The ultimate goal is full inclusion with the “pack”, which is almost always achieved! In addition to daily walks for dogs that are leash-trained and arrive with a harness, there’s also a dog door that leads to a large, shaded backyard & pool. “Door concierge” service is provided every few hours for nervous guests who may find the dog door a bit intimidating. Cats are kept indoors at all times. Items to bring: food, treats, bowls, bed, toys, leash and harness for dogs (and potty pads if necessary), and litter box with litter and scoop for cats. Please ensure that your pet is altered, microchipped, vaccinated, and wearing a collar with ID tag for safety purposes.
About: I’ve personally owned dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve spent years researching the proper ways to interact with them to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and thriving. Nothing makes me happier than a well cared for pet :) I’m currently not working so I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your pets!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Land
This is the second time we have used Briana to sit for our cat, Booger. She has a good rapport with him - We get the drop-in notifications daily and Briana always sends us a slew of pics of her petting, brushing and feeding Boogs. I know he is in good hands and we never have to worry if he's ok...Briana gives us the feeding and pooping updates, which just gives you piece of mind. She is also close to where we live, which is an additional bonus...Would strongly recommend Briana.
YaLan did a wonderful job caring for my two cats! She was reliable, attentive, and truly loving toward them. When I came home, I could tell they had been very well taken care of. I also really appreciated the daily pictures. I would definitely recommend YaLan to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! Thank you YaLan!
Rachel was awesome. For a request to be last minute she is great. I would recommend her to anyone. She was great with my dogs, one of my dogs are elderly and she made sure that she was well taken care of. She also sent me pictures of my dogs when she was finish with her shift of taking care of them.
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!
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!"

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 .
