“Sierra took great care of my two Shibas and kitty while I was gone for the weekend! She had excellent communication throughout, and I felt very comfortable knowing she was there for the puppers and my kitty!”
“Joseph was great with my pup, Elara! Took her to get some air from being cooped up all day, and she came back looking happier than ever. I’ll definitely book him for future walks and potentially even sitting later this year 😀. Thanks, Joseph!”
About: I have been a dog owner for years, so I understand how important it is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have also fostered dogs and have experience taking dogs on walks. I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every dog like my own and always do my best to make them feel happy and at home. I enjoy caring for dogs and can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m flexible with their schedules and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe and loving home with a big yard for dogs to play and get exercise. I give them plenty of attention, care, and love like they’re my own
“Brittany was amazing and so easy to work with. She made my first long trip away form my pup so much easier. She was great with my Katie and sent photos of their daily walks. I would book again with her!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles, I’ve had the joy of looking after all kinds of pets. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep love and understanding of their unique needs and personalities. I have extensive experience caring for sickly dogs, ensuring they receive the attention, medication, and gentle care they need. Additionally, I’ve spent several years volunteering at a dog shelter, working with a variety of dogs, including those with special needs, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply some extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I truly look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly!) family members! I am proactive about communicating and scheduling to accommodate your pet’s needs. I spend a lot of time outdoors and love to walk, perfect for pets who love fresh air and long walks! I’m available throughout the week and weekends for pet sitting, walks, and drop in visits. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment for your pet! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I treat pets as if they were my own, providing consistent care, regular feeding, timely potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep open communication with owners, offering updates as needed for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I strictly follow the owner’s instructions to maintain their routine and ensure their comfort. I respect the space, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel right at home!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine life without them - my two Great Danes and a Doberman even have their own room at home. I’m experienced in rare conditions and healthcare, administering of medication, senior and puppy care. I’m currently as of 9/17 not working and no commitments. I’m available to come just about any time of day. Feeding, walks, outside play time, it’s a 24 hour operation and I don’t restrict myself to take care of animals. If I’m coming to spend time with your pets, I’m coming to spend time with your pets. I’ll bring treats if permitted and I’m used to special needs diets and restrictions so my time is your time when I’m with your baby. I’m a huge fan of communication and updates.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of family and friends for over 10 years. Just like humans dogs are all different I always like to check with the owner the expectations set in place while babysitting. I will also take lots of photos 🥰. I love to capture photos of furry friends I recently transitioned to evening shifts. If weather permits I take my dog to the doggie park every morning and would like more doggie friends to join. I have a fenced back yard and a camera. I also have my Minnie doxie that will keep company if needed. There’s a designated area for furry friends.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner and animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was five years old. Animals have always been part of my family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every pet I work with. I currently care for a senior dog, which has given me hands‑on experience with medication routines, mobility awareness, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand how important consistency and gentle care are especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will not be left unattended and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their routine as closely as possible. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours! My Schedule & Availability The best part about booking with me? I’m home all day, every day. Your dog won’t be left alone waiting for someone to check in — they’ll have my full attention from morning to night. Whether it’s spontaneous playtime, an extra walk around the block, or just some couch cuddle time, I’m always here for it. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the household. My own pets help set a calm, welcoming tone, so most dogs settle in quickly and comfortably. A typical day includes: • Morning and evening walks • Midday play and enrichment time • Plenty of rest in a cozy, pet-friendly space • Regular feeding on your dog’s normal schedule • Daily photo and update messages to you
“Fantastic walker. His flexible schedule has made it much easier for scheduling. He even worked on training my dog! He definitely goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend him for your dog walking services!!”
About: I'm a dog lover! I had the most precious rescue (Papillion/Pomeranian named Sasha) growing up and by the time I finished undergrad, she had her wings. I love to spend time with my relatives’ dogs that include a Boston Terrier, Boxer, and an American Staff. If your dog has personality, likes to cuddle, or is sheer entertainment, I'm your sitter! My home is their world! Belly-rubs, playtime, and walks by the lake are non-negotiable! LOL! I work from home 3 days a week. Water is made accessible in two areas (where there food is and in my bedroom where they will sleep). Meals are provided per the instructions of the owner. Dogs are walked around the property 3-4 times a day: morning upon waking, afternoon, evening, and right before bed if needed. Dogs are allowed on the couch and couch covers are washed between stays. They are often washed during stays for dogs that shed heavily. Dogs are walked during potty breaks and I prefer harnesses over collars. The property has squirrels and several ducks, and harnesses offer better stability and control and remove the risk of throat pressure or choking from the leash. I have food and water bowls, and doggy beds.
“Gina is amazing!!! Great with communication and accommodated me with my last minute bookings! She sends me several photos and videos of my pupper throughout the walk and I can totally tell that Rylee gets thoroughly worn out when I get home! Definitely keeping Gina as my dogwalker long term!”
“I was in a bind a needed someone to walk my dog while we were out of town. Joshua was amazing. He always showed up on time and took great care of my dog. He even gave her medication! Thank you joshua, we will be using him again soon!”
“I’m so happy I found Remy! It’s clear that she has a lot of experience and she handled my large reactive dog very well. She is trustworthy, professional and very responsive, a true animal lover. 10/10!”
“Paola is an incredible dog sitter! She took my pup to walk around the park daily and Draco had a great time! She had excellent communication skills, always made sure Draco was fed and had water, and sent me daily pics of their time together. I highly recommend Paola for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, so taking care of them has always felt really natural to me. At one point, we had around seven dogs at home, so I got used to being around all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. I’d treat your dog like I would my own and would make sure they’re happy and loved while they’re with me! I’m a D1 student-athlete at Rice, so I stay pretty active and already have a structured routine. Outside of classes and training, I have plenty of time to fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. My schedule can vary a little week to week, but I’m very organized and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, crate time, or any specific instructions you have.
“Liz was wonderful! She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely great to work with. Her communication is excellent! She’s responsive, thoughtful, and proactive, which makes everything feel easy and stress-free. I always felt like the girls were in good hands with her. Highly recommend!”
About: Pets and owners love my free loving and exceptional care I provide to every animal that I care for, whether it's a drop in, walk, or boarding, I'm dedicated to your pet's welfare and happiness. I reside in a beautiful apartment, but am able to host small to large dogs, take them on walks, and take them on adventures to the play area across the street, I’m also conveniently located near the Buffalo bayou dog park! I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dog, cats, and exotic animals. I also have experience in providing care for senior and special needs pets. My availability is flexible and I can usually work around times that are best to accommodate your busy life schedule, if something is to come up and plans change; I am more than happy to work with you on a refund or extended stays. Being a pet parent myself, taking care of pets naturally fit into my schedule especially since I work from home. Unless your pet requires their food at specific times, they will follow the same schedule feeding and care (which is always in plenty) with my own pet. I have no problem crating your animal if there are used to having their own safe space. I also have a wonderfully sunny balcony that they are welcomed to hang out on under supervision. If spending the night, they are welcome to sleep in the room so they aren’t lonely!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sunny Side
I booked Addison to walk my puppy multiple times a week while I was away at work and she did so great!! Was always punctual and was very good about keeping me updated with her schedule. My puppy and I appreciate her service so much, we would definitely book her again! 🐾🐾
Christine has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs. My two pups are always so excited to see her every week, which says everything about how much they enjoy their walks with her. She takes great care of them, even in the Houston heat, and I always know they're in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
