“Samantha is Awesome! I waa in town for work and she walked my pup during the weekdays while I was at work. Always there and always communicated if she thought he was acting off. Good thing is my pup has quirks so nothing was ever a concern. If I ever come back to this area, I will definitely use Samantha.”
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!
About: I got my first pet when I was 14, I had adopted him from a humane society when he was 3 years old! In the time I had him I had to learn what unconditional love was, what patience really means, and what responsibility is. He was an amazing dog and I learned so much from the time I was able to care for him. For four years I got to learn what taking care of a dog entailed and was always taking the opportunity to learn what I could always do better. I had to rehome my best bud in September of 2022, but I will forever hold that unconditional love and time I got to spend with him in my heart. I currently have 2 animals as of 2025! One is a handsome pitbull mix named Max and the other is my handsome cat named Ozzy. They are my pride and joy! I’ve learned so much since moving to Texas and adopting both from a Humane Shelter in Houston. I work full time at a hospital in the Woodlands area so 4/7 days of the week I am typically free! On days I do have blocked off on my schedule I can be available for a drop in or walk after 7pm! I am always on the lookout for potential dangers or surroundings, safety is the utmost important to me with animals and people. Stay safe always
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!
“Im always concerned to leave our pups, but after meeting Ashley I felt confident that they were left in good hands. She took such good care of our babies, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my entire life and have had my own dog for the past 5 years! I love being outside so anytime the option is available I’ll take advantage of it! I’m currently working full time for the state so I work 8-5 during the week and have every weekend off. I also have all county and state holidays off as well so can be available evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have a fenced in yard with locks/gates so the environment is protected! I typically don’t let my dog outside alone for too long and keep an eye out just in case.
“Zixin has been fantastic walking and playing either my pups every day. He has been completely reliable and trustworthy while I’m at work and he takes care of my pups so they are happy and pottied in the middle of the day.”
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.
“Molly is very communicative and always sends me pictures and updates of Henry on his walks. She goes the extra mile to make sure he has enough food, water, treats/ toys and anything else to be comfortable. Henry warmed up to her really quickly and we're lucky to have her help!”
About: Ideal for any pet parent looking to avoid the stress of kennel services, we provide a crate-free environment (unless requested by owner) and instead utilize baby gates to separate by size and energy level.

As an independent service provider, meet and greets, drop-off, and pick-up times are flexible to your scheduling needs. Your pup's vacation with us is as unique as they are! Please do not hesitate to give us the details of their routine, personality, and special needs so that we may give them the happiest and most comfortable vacation while you are away. All arriving and departing pups enter and exit through the garage to ensure that the yard and all entryways to our home are locked and secured at all times. Our fenced yard allows your pup regular supervised backyard playtime throughout the day. With an acceptance limit of 4 boarding pups per night, your fur baby gets the chance to make new friends while also getting the individual attention they are accustomed to and deserve!
About: Hi, I’m Grace! I work from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day.

“This is the first time I had utilized Rover. From the moment I connected with Jordan & Joshua it has been a positive $ delightful experience They have been extremely communicative throughout the process. I definitely would recommend them.”
About: Over the span of 14 years, my cherished Schnauzer was not just a pet but a beloved family member. From his playful puppy days to his serene senior years, I provided unwavering care and companionship. Alongside, my experience extended to pet and house sitting for large dogs, where my dedication ensured their well-being and happiness in their own homes. I work from home and it allows flexibility for pet care 😊. I’m Available Mon-Thu and weekends, ensuring attentive and reliable service for your furry companions. With a fenced yard, gated dog park, and nearby trails for walks inside my community , I can offer a safe, comfy space for pets, ensuring fun, security, and exercise and lots of fun.
About: I am very knowledgeable in different types of animals and breeds from 20 years experience. I provide quality care over quantity. From anything as small as fish or as big as a Great Dane—you name it! I am known for my mini photo ops with your furry family members (I want to ensure you that you will have memories that you can keep, cherish or even print to display in your home). I am passionate about dogs and cats and will treat yours as my own. I am a full-time pharmacy operations manager and work night shift please do not hesitate to reach out to me so we can discuss further. My schedule can be somewhat flexible as I only work 4 days a week and if you are close by I am able to leave during my lunchtime to check-in if needed! I live in an apartment so unfortunately I will not be offering any boarding. But I will ensure to keep your home clean as I would at home and make sure everything is in its place ready for your arrival. Whatever you need, we can discuss it during the meet and greet.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your The Woodlands. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in The Woodlands.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Woodlands. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
