About: Hi! I'm an experienced dog walker serving The Woodlands area. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. Although my own dog recently passed away, caring for dogs continues to be something I truly enjoy. I currently volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I walk dogs at least once a week. I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same care, attention, and exercise. I am currently unemployed so I can work around your schedule! I can do early mornings all the way to evenings. I have some volunteer commitments during the week but that’s about it and I can work around those. I have experience walking dogs and giving reactive dogs the space they need. I am able to go on longer walks as well and really give your dog the exercise it needs.
About: Hi, I’m Lizzy! I just moved to Texas from Minnesota for my husbands job. Since I don't have any friends in the area yet and absolutely love pets, I figured this would be a great way to be more active in the community. I’m a lifelong animal lover and enjoy attending dog friendly events and activities. I currently have two Goldendoodles, Louie (8 years old) and Luna (1.5 years old). They are both incredibly friendly and love playing and socializing with other dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life, mainly Golden Retrievers and Poodles, so I’m very experienced with a variety of personalities and needs. Since my younger doodle has lots of energy, staying active is already part of our daily routine. We enjoy multiple walks each day, plenty of playtime, and the occasional trip to the dog park. If you’d like your pup to get some extra socialization, I’d be happy to bring them along on our outings. Otherwise, they can enjoy lots of playtime at home with my doodles. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and can accommodate specific routines or requirements. In my home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, and affection to help them feel right at home. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. Please let me know how I can help!

You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Clear communication and reliability are important to me, and I take the responsibility of caring for both your pet and your home seriously. My goal is simple: for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Woodlands
Debra came through again for us! I was out of service a majority of the time she was watching our old girl. I felt safe and knew Rori was in great hands. We got great updates, and she made sure to update other family members since I was unavailable. Thank you Debra!
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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
