About: From newborn puppies to sugar faced seniors, I have taken care of all fur babies! Age is just a number and I love them all! I care for pups of all sizes and ages. Administering medicine, staying on a routine, exercise, playtime, or even cuddle time is essential and I have cared for all no matter the needs. I am currently an elementary special education teacher on Summer break, so my availability is open! I have always loved taking care of dogs and cats since I was little! I meet your pup where they are. If all we need is a bathroom break, that is perfectly okay. If we need a long walk and play time or just sunbathing outside that is perfect as well! I am very flexible and strive to provide your fur baby with what they need in order for them to be happy, healthy, and comfortable!
“Ainsley was very prompt in letting us know when she was at the house. She let us know daily which cats she interacted with and sent pictures and videos to let us know they were safe and happy.”
“Jessica was fantastic! We needed someone at the last minute to care for our three dogs with multiple visits each day during our Fourth of July weekend trip. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand, and from the very first visit, she was reliable, caring, and communicative. She took great care of all three of our dogs, always walked them, and sent regular updates with photos after each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jessica is dependable, professional, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person!!!”
“Dianne is awesome! She truly loves dogs and said she had a blast. She was nice enough to send pictures and videos of my dogs. Also, I have a dog with noise anxiety, so she went above and beyond when storms and rain were scheduled. She is my preferred dog sitter when I have to travel.”
“Kendall took great care of my dog—super attentive, always on time, and constantly keeping me updated. I can say she provided service in an extremely professional and caring way. I can’t hold back from saying how fantastic the care was and how flawlessly she did it. Every time I’ve worked with her, I’ve been happy, got the right service, and my dog received the best care.”
About: I’ve raised my own golden since he was 7 weeks and have pet sat and dog walked for several friends and neighbors over the years. So I am very comfortable around puppies, senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs. I work from home so I am with my fur baby all day when he needs something. And if I am house sitting, available all day for your pet as well. I take him out at least 2 times a day for walks or play time at the park. We like to walk along the neighborhood trails, George Mitchell Preserve, and the waterway. I also take him to the dog park when it’s not too hot.
“I had a wonderful experience with Kimberly! Her communication skills are outstanding; she regularly sent me photos of my pets, which truly put my mind at ease. I appreciated her attention to detail and genuine care for my pets. Thank you, Kimberly, for your excellent service!”
“My boys look like they had so much fun! Serenity took lots of photos and I really felt at ease knowing she was checking on them! Will definitely use her again next time they need some love and a potty break”
About: I have experience taking many dogs on walks and around town through volunteering with animal shelters and my own pets. I am not afraid of larger dogs and I have experience with both large and small dogs. I am available Friday-Sunday to dog sit in the Houston/Woodlands area and Monday-Wednesday in the college station Bryan area in the afternoon. I have experience with many different sized Dogs from my own pets which ranged from a small miniature dachshund to a large Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Aswell as experience with other animals through volunteering with local animal shelters by doing dog walks and “doggie day outs” to help socialize the dogs and give them time out of the shelter. Whether I am with my own Dogs or a shelter dog I always give them lots of attention and love and I make sure to have close attention to detail on the feeding and potty schedule.
“Amanda is fantastic. All of her updates include a personal touch and she clearly spends quality time with my pup vs just showing up, feeding, and letting her outside. Very comfortable leaving town knowing Amanda is taking care of her.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Coralie as a pet sitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with the outstanding service she provided. From start to finish, Coralie demonstrated a level of care and professionalism that truly set her apart. What impressed me most was Coralie's communication throughout the pet-sitting period. She kept me updated with daily reports, including photos and details about my pets' activities. This not only provided reassurance but also allowed me to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind. I will be using her again in the future 💯”
“Julia did a wonderful job with our four fur babies! They are all rescues and do not usually take to strangers but they loved Julia. That is all I needed to know about her. If they take to her like that, she is alright in my book!”
About: I've always had a deep love for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I'm attentive to details, dependable, and quick to communicate with owners, providing updates and photos for peace of mind. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including senior dogs that may require extra patience and attention. My goal is to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, loving care every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make it a priority to maintain each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and attentive to each pet's needs. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, making walks and exercise an enjoyable part of my day. My goal is to ensure every pet receives consistent care, companionship, and love while in my care. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests provided by the owner. In a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, maintaining a clean environment and ensuring pets remain safe and secure at all times. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs on leash unless otherwise instructed in a secure area, and monitor their behavior to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience where pets feel loved and owners feel confident that their furry family member is in good hands.
“Haley really understands what our cat likes. She provides the affection and attention our cat is used to getting when we are not traveling. She is consistent, reliable and punctual. The pictures she takes are of the quality worthy of publishing and there is no doubt we will be calling Haley again to take care of our cat the next time we travel.”
About: I’ve grown up with three German Shorthaired pointers! One of them is now 12 years old and needs a little more attention, but he’s still as healthy as can be and the sweetest pup ever! I work another part time job, however will devote all of my time outside of that to caring for any and every pet in my custody. I always feed my dogs on time and refill their water bowl after every use because those can get dirty fast! Lots of pets and plenty of attention for every dog in my care! Also super willing to stay outside with any dog for as long as they want to ensure they’re safe and sound as they roam and do their thing!
“This is my 2nd time using Lexe and very happy with her! She was very good at sending pictures and following instructions was even thoughtful enough to bring my delivered packages in to my house while we were out of town! Will definitely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Woodlands
Claudia was very responsive and communicated well before and during the period we were out of town. She was dependable and did each requesed visit around the times we had agreed upon. Our pups were well cared for and were very happy to see her. We will use Claudia again.
Debra came on very short notice. Arrived to our house for meet and greet within 30 minutes of finding out we needed her sooner than anticipated. She was awesome, reassuring, flexible, and the right amount of confidence that all would be well for us worrying about the short notice. Thank you Debra for taking care of our babies. Ready to book another dog-sitting with you.
Shelby is definitely the sitter that will keep you informed on your family pal and keep them happy! Our old man is usually shy and anxious, but she kept him playing, cuddled, and even took him on a nice walk. He’s definitely a dog that you don’t know his energy level sometimes, and she delivered no matter the time of day. Will definitely book again!
Joy was a complete Godsend during my recent vacation when I unexpectantly became hospitalized out of state. She was amazing in that she continued to care for my pets making certain that they were safe and well taken care of. Prompt checks-ins and photos gave me peace of mind during an uncertain time. She even did extra's along the way. Will definitely be using her again when in need of a pet sitter!
5 stars are not enough to rate Alexis. We have hired her several times to care for our dear bassett and she always goes above and beyond - she is knowledgeable, trustworthy and most importantly, she connects deeply with dogs. We come home to a happy dog, a vacuumed home, notes and even thoughtful touches. Goose loves her like family, and so do we.
Samaneh Is absolutely amazing, she is punctual and always on time, she always goes above and beyond! I knew my pup absolutely enjoyed his time with her and will greatly miss her! We will now be looking for excuses to higher her just so he gets to see her they have become buds! Thank you for everything I highly recommend your services for everyone and anyone!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a The Woodlands stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 The Woodlands 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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 The Woodlands with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
