She kept me updated and was easy to reach, which I really appreciated. She even sent me videos of some of his stay with her! (Normally I just get pics but she went ABOVE AND BEYOND) Overall it was such a smooth experience and I felt comfortable knowing Asher was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Noel was a pure professional, allowing us to board our dog at late notice over Thanksgiving weekend, and you could tell that he knew his business with the dogs as they got acclimated to mine. We received periodic updates complete with photos, and our dog was clearly very happy with the setting. For folks new to the area, this made all the difference. Thanks for the extra care!”
“Andrea was wonderful! She watched my two dogs for 6 nights, and took such good care of them that they came home so happy and exhausted.

I would definitely ask Andrea to watch my dogs again in the future!”
“Diana was very responsive and professional and easy to communicate with. I was very happy with the photo updates and the level of care and play my energetic kitten got during his stay with her. She even offered to clip his nails for me and I really appreciated the extra service. I would definitely use Diana's services again in the future.”

And even though Max had a challenge she did amazing and was very patient with him. She even taught him a few tricks. I would recommend her to anyone. I was the nervous wreck and thought any day i would have to leave my vacation early. But she reassured me Max was okay.”
“Amy did a great job keeping me updated throughout my whole trip. I tend to keep notifications off on this app but every time I’d check in there would be several photos and videos of her walking, playing and cuddling with my dog Boo. He def came back happier than he has with some other sitters. She was also super close to my area and the drop off was really easy. Highly recommend using her. And it was all for a great price !”
“Gabriela was great with our pet. She sent regular updates throughout his stay which made as feel at ease since it was first time for our pet being boarded. He made lots of new friends during his stay.”

About: So the most recent cat me and my husband rescued was a stray from the outskirts of Texas which we named Gert. As for Mila I rescued her during 2021 in a McDonald’s near Highway 6 in which she was about to cross. Mila was my first cat and is now 5 years and 3 months old she is feisty but she accustomed herself properly with Gert (though it took A LOT of dedication and social distancing). As for Gert she came from out of no where, she is an orange tabby cat with a spontaneous amount of energy in which both surprised me and my husband as we were only used to Mimi’s crankiness. Overall I am a fan of felines and have prided myself in being blessed enough to take care of two now. The main key is to deep clean and maintain their litter, groom them at least once to two times a week depending whether or not they are mainly indoor or outdoor cats. Our girls are vaccinated and medicated so that is also my main concern when taking care of any animal in general. I hope that whomever needs the reassurance of keeping their babies safe and well maintained can consider us as a future candidate to take care of them!! ^__^
About: Having dogs all my life, I've experienced with first hand experience how to care for our furry friends! I've been a regular volunteer at the Houston SPCA, and have extensive experience making sure pets get their needs; feeding, walking, playing, training, and ultimately very hands on care. My main priority whilst taking care of animals is their health and happiness. I am very attentive and have full experience knowing what your pet should and should not be eating, sniffing, etc. I am very fast to respond so feel free to reach out! I will be able to do drop-ins and walking throughout the days Friday-Sunday! This is only my current schedule until April 29th, where I will be available all day, every day of the week. With drop-in's, I am very attentive to pets and will make sure they are cared for in the areas of feeding, exercise, and overall happiness. I will always be attentive to make sure your pet has sufficient amounts of nutrition as well as cleaning any messes they have made with no problem.
About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I was young. With all my siblings dogs, we have 9 in the family and they typically call me for walks or dog sitting. We have dogs ranging from Maltese to Rot/boxer mix. I work from home and outside my front door is a small park but have surrounding parks around the neighborhood close by. With my dog, I took work breaks as walks. It’s Texas so my assumptions the pets are inside, I have a small fence yard but access to a park in front of my house.
“Lateefa took great care of my cat Toby for me! I got report cards and updates and it was a great and easy experience. I will for sure be contacting Lateefa again in the future!! Thank you.”
“Juliette was amazing, gave thorough info on what my cat was up to and really cute pics as well! My cat struggles with separation anxiety and she did not seem upset AT ALL when I returned from my trip. Will definitely be booking Juliette again!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was young and my dogs are my life. As a dog mom and foster, providing a safe and happy space for animals that stay at our home is incredibly important to me. Volunteering in rescue means I have lots of experience with all types of dogs, personalities, and behaviors. Our dogs, Luna and Rip, love making new friends and are the best welcome committee. I accept booking 7 days a week and am flexible with drop off/pick up times. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! I work from home so I will have constant eyes and ears on your pups and plenty of time to play with them! I am available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed as well with either an XL wire crate or a soft crate.
About: I’ve personally cared for my puppy since he was just a baby, and I trained him myself using positive reinforcement techniques. This has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency and patience. On Rover, I know pet parents are trusting me with a member of their family—and I take that seriously. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pup needs playtime, structured walks, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and follow your care instructions closely. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and anything else your pup might need. As a proud dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand how much patience and care young dogs require. Whether your dog is full of energy, still learning, or just needs a little extra love, I’m here to support them like family. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family in a safe, loving, and secure environment. I live in a quiet space that’s perfect for anxious pups who need a calm and peaceful setting to feel at ease. I provide a clean, cozy area for your dog to relax and play, and I’m happy to share photos of the space ahead of time so you can feel confident about where your pup will be staying. For safety, I do not allow any strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. Since I work from home, your dog will always have supervision, consistent care, and plenty of love throughout the day.
About: I have taken care of many animal/ dog breeds for years. I have experience with small and large pets of all sorts of ages ! In currently a college student so I have lots of time to care for your pet. I’m available during the week and on weekends ! I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around in and a park near my home to take your pet out for walks.
“This was my first time to leave my dog with Helen. Helen is amazing and kept sending photos of Charlie when I was away. She loves dogs and she is very kind and caring. Thank yo Helen and we will be definitely back.”
About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.
“Gizmo love Ony!! Right away he was comfortable in her presence and in her home. She was quick to respond, sent updates, and photos of Gizmo enjoying his day at daycare. I will definitely book with her again for daycare and boarding. 5 Stars”

About: At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. Hi, I’m Amy! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I share my home with my sweet (and spoiled!) 6-year old trained Rottweiler, Zara, who has taught me so much about understanding dog body language, and making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is not only my genuine love for animals, but also my background in healthcare. Working in this field has made me reliable, detail oriented, patient, and attentive qualities that naturally carry over into pet care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, noticing small behavior changes, or giving extra comfort and reassurance, I care for every pet like they’re my own. One thing I prioritize most is making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. We typically go on 3–5 walks a day, and I always make sure your dog gets their dose of sunshine, fresh air, sniffing time, and grass time. I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated, not just cooped up indoors.🙂 Depending on the dog and owner preferences, we sometimes go on fun little outings too ⭐️ Starbucks 💚 pup cup runs, PetSmart trips, or even walks through Lowe’s when the weather is nice and the environment is pet-friendly. I truly enjoy making dogs feel included, engaged, and cared for. 🙂💖 When the weather doesn’t permit extended outdoor time, we switch to indoor enrichment and cozy downtime. We’ll spend time indoors playing fetch, relaxing, and watching movies together until the weather clears up, while still going outside for shorter potty walks and fresh air breaks as needed. I also prioritize structure and safety in my home environment. Zara has her own separate section of the house, and all dogs are kept on a consistent schedule for walks, potty breaks, meals, rest, and individual outside time. I do not introduce untrained dogs to Zara. If your dog is well-trained, calm, and socialized, playtime with Zara may be considered upon request and approval to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone. 😊 Experience: • At this time, I am currently only accepting SMALL BREEDS for boarding. • Patient and gentle with senior pets, including slow walks, medications, and extra TLC. • Comfortable caring for special needs pets with unique diets, routines, or extra support needs. • Experienced in reading dog body language and adjusting care to each pet’s comfort level and personality. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I recently graduated and am currently finishing my last 3 online prerequisites before applying to the RN program. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be home throughout the day with the pets in my care. I typically wake up around 5:30–6:00 AM to study, then start the day by getting the dogs on schedule for breakfast, potty breaks, walks, and outdoor time. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and on a consistent routine throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Environment I take pet safety very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours. At home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space for play and rest. I supervise all interactions and make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything stays safe, clean, and organized. Because I work from home, I can provide attentive care throughout the day, and my healthcare experience helps me notice small changes in behavior or health. You can trust that your pet will be happy, safe, and loved under my care. 🐶💛
“10/10 recommend! Noel was quick to respond and very easy to get along with. He updated me during the day and sent me pictures of Oakley. I would definitely book with him again”
About: 15 years of small and large dog experience Loves little fur babies Lives across from park for walk and/or playtime Bubble time Water park time I currently work from home so I will give your fur baby all the attention they deserve! I also live across the street from a dog park and regular park💗💗💗💗 Taking care of your fur baby will include…. 💗Cuddles 💗Treats 💗Park Fun 💗Doggy Showers 💗Play dates with other doggos 💗Did I mention lots of cuddles???
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.

“Molly was great with my dog Milo and treated him very well. She was punctual and followed all my instructions about Milo, and was great at responding to messages. Will be booking with her again!”
“I can’t recommend Tania enough! You took the time to truly connect with my fur kid, making him feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. What impressed me most was how you went beyond basic care by providing mental stimulation and enrichment that kept him happy, curious, and entertained. It’s clear you genuinely love animals and understand the importance of meeting both their physical and emotional needs. Seeing Charlie excited, relaxed, and mentally engaged gave me complete peace of mind. Thank you for treating my fur baby like family!”
“Risi cares so much about our pets like they were her own. My Tucker and Nella are always so excited to see her for their walks. She is their very own friend. We all love her so much.”
“Mya is the absolute BEST! She is very sweet and responsive and really cares about each animal, especially my baby Dino. She went the extra mile to ensure that he was given his medication at each dog walk and because she did that, his skin healed up very quickly from his allergy breakout. Mya will be our permanent option from Rover!”
About: Nice to meet you! My name is Erika and while I’ve never been in professional pet care, I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals - such as dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Caring for my own pets over the years have taught me how to adjust to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means lots of playtime, a slow walk, or extra cuddles and patience. Moreover, I have 2 years of being a Behavior Technician, which has given me a strong understanding of behavior and how to use positive reinforcement effectively. This experience transitions seamlessly into working with dogs that need that consistency, rapport building, and support. Whether you need someone to help your puppy burn off energy or give your senior dog the gentle care it deserves, I’m here to help. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and respect I give my own. HABLO ESPAÑOL :)! I currently work a full-time remote position and my schedule is incredible flexible. I make my own schedule and can fit morning or midday walks 3 times a week. And daily, I can allocate my afternoons to pet walking. My weekends are completely free and will be focusing on taking new clients all day. I live in a 1-story house with a large backyard. If pet sitting is necessary, your dog will have a place to stay in the living room and a large backyard to play in. The area where I live is safe and my house has camera around the premise that allows me to monitor them if they want to spend more time outside sun bathing. I also have a camera inside for when I need to step out and run an errand, they will also be monitored. My house is also 5 min away from a park that loops a .5 mile walk therefore they’ll be guaranteed a good walk.

About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I was young. With all my siblings dogs, we have 9 in the family and they typically call me for walks or dog sitting. We have dogs ranging from Maltese to Rot/boxer mix. I work from home and outside my front door is a small park but have surrounding parks around the neighborhood close by.

About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to pitbulls to Great Danes. My father is an owner of 4 cats which I also have experience taking care of. One of his former cats was disabled with feline AIDS so I also have experience handling and administering oral medication. I’ve even worked in an emergency vet hospital as a scribe and know how to identify signs of illness and where to take them should something go wrong (knock on wood). My whole life I have been a lover of all animals and I do my best to stay educated on animal safety and body language. I mainly take freelance jobs so I can take jobs any time between the hours of 11am and 10pm with some exceptions if necessary for overnight bookings. I do not take in pets in my own home as I live in an apartment and other dogs and owners can be unpredictable. I can take your dog on walks, feed them, and cuddle or play with them or let them rest in their own space! Let me know their quirks and I will work with them as best I can!
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
About: I have taken care of many animal/ dog breeds for years. I have experience with small and large pets of all sorts of ages ! In currently a college student so I have lots of time to care for your pet. I’m available during the week and on weekends ! I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around in and a park near my home to take your pet out for walks.
About: Hi! I would love to take care of your special friend! I am home 24/7 so I will be able to attend to your fur baby and give them the love and care they deserve. I currently have a rescue, Savana and she will help me welcome any new friends into our home! I allow dogs in my home to free roam, and they are more than welcome on the furniture and bed. I know canine CPR/ first aid and can administer oral medications. I will go on 4-5 walks daily, either around the apartment complex or the neighborhood. We will also visit the Millie Bush dog park everyday. I do live in an apartment so at this time I will only be able to take small to medium sized dogs.
About: Hello my name is Camila or cami I would like to share a bit of my experience with the animals I have/had taken care of throughout my years of living. Starting off strong I have only ever rescued/homed/adopted all of my animals including smaller critters such as rodents, birds, frogs, and reptiles. I also have experience in walking dogs for families and friends this being dogs that are big as a Labrador and small as a Yorkie. My first interaction with rescuing an animal was when I was 5 with my first dog Bouncie. She was a poodle/shnauzer mix and we found her in an abandoned apartment’s back patio that was locked. Seeing her limped right leg we immediately took her to a clinic and we neutered, chipped, bathed, and took her to get her vaccines as well as getting her medicated. She lived for a very long 14 years and unfortunately had to be put down after two failing attempts of removing a tumor in her stomach that was the size of a tennis ball. Though heartbreaking it made me understand and motivated my care for animals not just dogs but also any defenseless critter. Present time I now have two dogs, Corey who just turned 5 this year and Joy who will be turning 14 and two cats, Gert who is a 1 year and Mila who also turned 5 this year. Overall I take the care and love for animals very seriously as they are just like children they need attention and plenty of love as well as care. I hope to be considered as someone who can be trusted with their babies when and if needed! I am always on my feet with our animals even with my husband. I make sure to walk our dogs for at least 30-45 minutes twice to three times in the day depending on what our schedule is looking like. Feeding proper amounts of food and following diet restrictions since one of our pups is having tummy troubles and is taking medication. This is an everyday routine that both me and my husband do and enjoy doing. When going into a clients home and needing to feed, walk, or simply play I make sure to follow instructions without disrupting the actual house of the individual. Respecting the place is the main key and making sure to not invade but also communicating with the client. There can definitely be moments where something might be confusing so becoming approachable is important to establish proper care for the clients pets. As for the care I provide for my pets it’s the same minus being in someone else’s home. The type of care and respect I give to my animals in my home is the exact same care and respect I would want anyone I am not close with to give to my home and pets.This means maintaining and cleaning the main areas where they play, eat, sleep, and do their business.

“Celia took amazing care of my pup SoHo. She is reliable, caring, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, so I always knew my pet was happy and in good hands. It was clear she took the time to make SoHo feel loved and cared for, and I came home to a happy pup who passed out on the couch for almost the entire day she came home.
