“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”
“Amy and her fam did an awesome job with Serenity. She took sick and had to visit the vet two days. Amy was very flexible and accommodating and made sure Serenity got the care she needed. She kept me informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Serenity is doing well now and back to her high energy self! Thanks Amy!”
“Robin was amazing with my new puppy Teddy, He is only 9 weeks old, so I was really nervous leaving him. She made me feel so comfortable and took really good care of him while I was getting everything situated. I could tell he was getting a lot of love and attention, and it made me feel a lot better knowing he was in good hands. I’m really thankful for her and would definitely recommend as she treats each dog as her own. Me and Teddy will definitely see her again!”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Thank you Susan for your special care and boarding our Burley during our short vacation trip. Burley enjoyed staying with you and came home very happy and playful.”
“Our bluebell loves visiting Ms. Ashley. They have a spacious yard for all the running and games! They treat our pup like family and trust that she is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was amazing. Super accommodating and great communication. She will be the only person I use for all services until I leave the area. Highly recommend her. Constant videos and pictures of the pups. Very trustworthy.”
“Abby went above and beyond in caring for our two golden retrievers, Barbara and Timothy. She embraced their chaos and high energy from the moment they walked in the door and we felt fully confident leaving them with her knowing they would have an amazing time. Abby loved them like her own and took exceptional care of them - she even bathed them when they played too hard in some mud! Our pups were happy, healthy, and tired from walks and playtime when we picked them up - we could not recommmend Abby enough and can't wait for our next visit with her!”
“You know that feeling of being the best thing since rescuing your new family member? Well I don't feel that anymore because Thi and Jace showed me what I could be doing. Thi and Jace did an incredible job and pampered, spoiled, and treated Otto like their own. They took such good care of him with massages, treats, dog parks, snuggles! They are such incredible sitters! I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone! The daily updates with pictures and videos were awesome! I knew the whole time that he was with them that he would be cared for and loved. They gave him a new dog toy and treats to bring home. It doesn't matter what we do now, Thi and Jace will be the first we call when looking for a sitter. And you should too. Do not pass up reaching out to them!”
“Brownie’s stay with Caitlyn was fabulous! It was our first time to leave her with anyone, and she can be an anxious dog. But when we visited before the stay, we could see that the home’s vibe is very relaxed, and they said she was snuggly with them, and good with the other dogs. We really appreciate such good care!”
“They made sure my dog was part of the family for her stay! Marnier was so spoiled and happy. I could tell she loved them and will be happy to go back soon! Becky was great about communication before the stay and sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was gone. I couldn't have found a better family to love my baby when I travel!”
“Harper loved staying with Jennifer, they sent pictures, communicated regularly, made sure Harper was comfortable and treated her like their own. Very thankful we have found our "go to" pet sitter in Galveston! Not to mention their location is very central and easy to pickup and drop off! Thank you thank you!”
“Hunter was great, very accommodating! My dog Penelope had lots of fun playing with their dogs and swimming in the pool! I will be booking with her again next time I’m out of town.”
“Amazing experience. I did not have any worries while I was away. I also think my dog’s experience here was way better and healthier than the big boarding facilities. Bella came home happy and tired from playing with all her new friends.”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“Angela took wonderful care of Bailey. She treated Bailey like a member of her household. Lots of pictures and videos assured us she was contented and following her normal routine. Your dog will feel right at home here.”
“Ashley and Chantelle were amazing!! They were such a life saver for me and I really appreciated that they could accommodate my last minute booking. The treated my baby boy so well and showed him so much love 💕 They provided me with lots of picture and video updates as well which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to be able to trust them with my stinkabutt. 🐶”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”

“Evan was fantastic! Super kind, detailed in her daily assessment of my cat, and left my place just as she found it. My cat really enjoyed his time with her as well!!! Super thankful for Evan!”
“Andrea did a wonderful job watching my babies while I was out of state for work. I have two kitties and require love and affection once a day to check in on them and ensure food and water is full and fresh. She also was able to help move my cats to my room when a sudden leak occurred causing maintenance needing to replace my whole tub while i was gone! 😅 Andrea was easy to reach and more than willing to help out!! Will definitely become a repeat customer!”
“Lana stayed at my house with my rabbit Daisy! There was a maintenance issue with my place right before I left. But Lana was so gracious & flexible about the situation which gave me peace of mind. I received lots of pictures & updates. I missed her but knew she was well taken care of! I think Daisy had her own vacation!”
“Sarah was a perfect pet sitter! She did drop in visits for our 2 cats and a bunny. She went above and beyond with the litter and took awesome photos that set our mind at ease! Will rebook for sure!”
“Stacy is amazing!! I always come home to happy cats. She's been very flexible, and always follows instructions exactly. She even helped raise a litter of kittens, all were adopted healthy and happy! Highly recommend her as a sitter, she'll always be our first choice :).”
“Kalyne was great with our two cats, and so helpful with everything around our house. She was so understanding of all their needs and ours as pet parents. So grateful for her easy communication and kindness. Absolutely recommend!”
“Kathleen is amazing! She was warm and loving towards my babies. I felt so comfortable that she was taking great care of my boy while we were away. I loved how accessible she was and that she would send me pictures of my baby every day. This was my first experience using this app and I have been raving about it to all my friends with pets. I would highly recommend both Kathleen and Rover. To actually feel comfortable leaving my fur babies while on vacation is priceless.”
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from horses, cows, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well.
About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.
“After we booked Tanya for the first time, we were so impressed that we booked her for the Christmas week. We came home to an intact home and a very happy cat -- Max actually liked Tanya so much that he was doing the Tanya Meow all week and paced about looking for her. Great care and a trustworthy sitter.”

About: I've had cats my whole life, and have never had a period in my life where I didn't have at least one cat. I've never bought into the stereotype that cats are standoffish, and I think they can be some of the best companions in the world. I'm incredibly familiar with the care cats of all ages need, from play, to rest, clean spaces, and cuddles.
About: I have always had cats. I am very understanding of their character and can easily figure out what a cat needs or doesn’t. Cats I have owned have been leash trained by myself and have allowed me to cut their hair with clippers. So I understand the personality of each cat.

“Fabulous pet sitter! So grateful that we can leave Bear and not worry during our time away! Bear has some separation anxiety, so knowing he will be taken care of makes it easy on this dog mom. We use Jennifer every time we come to Galveston and will definitely use her again when we come back”

“Michelle was very nice and had great communication. She sent many pics and videos, which I love. My dog is very energetic and can be a lot and seemed to get along with her dog. Definitely would recommend”
“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from small to large dogs, and I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to animals, whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog, giving extra care to a shy pet, or maintaining a consistent routine. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a full-time online college student, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. As a single mom to a 9-month-old, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m already in a routine that supports being present, reliable, and responsive to pets’ needs throughout the day. Pet sitting and drop-ins align well with my lifestyle, allowing me to balance school, parenting, and caring for animals without conflicting with a traditional work schedule. I’m able to incorporate feeding, playtime, litter care, and companionship into my day while maintaining a calm and structured environment. This also gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals—while earning income in a way that fits my current responsibilities. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. I follow each client’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, litter care, medication if needed, and any specific care guidelines. I approach each pet with patience and respect, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect. I keep spaces clean and tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure doors, gates, and entry points are securely handled. I am mindful of security and privacy at all times, and I leave the home as I found it or better. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

He’s spoiled with homemade meals, gets two walks a day, and plenty of playtime chasing balls. I treat every dog I care for like family—because that’s what they are. My goal isn’t just to walk your dog, but to make sure they have fun, feel safe, and enjoy their time out. I’m attentive, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is high-energy or needs gentle care, I’ll tailor the experience to what they need most. Currently, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to care for your pup throughout the week. I’m available most days, mornings or evenings—just not Sundays, as I observe the day for church and rest. Your dog will always get my full attention when they’re with me! When I walk your dog, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high-traffic areas, and pay close attention to each dog’s pace, energy level, and comfort.

I currently work part time with most of my availability being in the afternoon but more than willing to working anything out in the mornings. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays!

This includes securing gates, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring fences are intact for outdoor areas. 8. **Affection and Attention**: Provide plenty of love, attention, and affection to the pets to keep them feeling secure and happy while their owners are away. 9. **Communication with Owners**: Maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any notable behaviors or events. 10. **Emergency Preparedness**: Be prepared to handle any emergencies or unexpected situations that may arise, including having access to emergency vet care if needed. Overall, the goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where pets feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners.
About: Hi. Our first dog when I was 6, aLab. An Irish Setter joined the family about 7 years later. Since then more dogs and then during the last 5 years some casual cats. I do some driving for my two sons, school, work, and such but the rest of my days are mine. Early AMs not a problem and preferably not later than 10PM. I am currently only offering dog walking and check in visits. Mentally healthy dogs like me. I'm also pretty good connecting with not-so-mentally-healthy dogs. I'm pretty empathic.
About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.

I make sure to take care of every pet’s needs, follow all instructions, and make safety my number one priority. I strive to honor every client and their pet!

About: I am new to Rover, but have taken care of animals, big and small, all my life, and hope to grow my Rover profile at the same time I build my career as a recently-graduated archaeology Ph.D. student. I fully believe that our pets are parts of our family, and they deserve to be cared for that way. Our pets are just one part of our lives, but we are their whole lives, and I believe that is a gift, and means that taking care of pets is an honor. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even the occasional snake or two, and am familiar with animals at every stage of life. I am also used to a wide variety of energy levels and sizes, and have cared for small dogs, big dogs, house hippos, and tiny tornadoes (I also recognize that sometimes tiny tornadoes come in cat-form). I am very comfortable walking and playing with large, energetic dogs, and can provide them all the stimulation and engagement that they need. I am also familiar with the unique needs of cats, and have never had a period in my life when I did not have at least one cat as a pet. I am completely at ease with litter box care, playtime, and snuggle time. I am also very comfortable caring for geriatric animals, and animals that require medication. Throughout my life, I have cared for many pets, both cats and dogs, at the end of their lives, and even currently have a 20+ year old cat that requires some extra attention. I understand that older animals are special cases, and they deserve all the attention and care we can give them in their twilight years. I will care for your animals like my own, and will love the opportunity to make a new furry friend! I am currently an adjunct professor, and I have my own archaeological nonprofit, but this means my schedule is mostly up to me. This gives me ample time to spend with your pets, as well as flexibility to fit into your schedule. I will care for your animals in your home according to their routine and your expectations. I understand how important routine is, and how important environment is for pets to feel safe and secure.
About: With 21 years of military service, I bring a unique blend of commitment, discipline, and attention to detail to every aspect of my life. I grew up as part of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where I gained extensive hands-on experience in raising pets. This foundation in animal care has shaped my practical approach to dog and cat husbandry. Currently, I maintain a diverse array of animals, including a black lab that I personally trained for duck hunting, a cat I’ve leash-trained to go on walks, a turtle, and a small-scale quail farm. My experience has taught me the importance of precision and organization, which I apply to managing my pets, ensuring everything is in top shape and that the animals receive the best care possible. I finish my workday in the early afternoon on weekdays, and I prioritize your pet during my free time. Your pet’s care will always be my top focus. I’m also available for early morning visits to accommodate your schedule. I treat our pets like family. Without children of our own, our 'fur babies' are everything to us. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets.

“Amy and her fam did an awesome job with Serenity. She took sick and had to visit the vet two days. Amy was very flexible and accommodating and made sure Serenity got the care she needed. She kept me informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Serenity is doing well now and back to her high energy self! Thanks Amy!”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Thank you Susan for your special care and boarding our Burley during our short vacation trip. Burley enjoyed staying with you and came home very happy and playful.”
“Our bluebell loves visiting Ms. Ashley. They have a spacious yard for all the running and games! They treat our pup like family and trust that she is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was amazing. Super accommodating and great communication. She will be the only person I use for all services until I leave the area. Highly recommend her. Constant videos and pictures of the pups. Very trustworthy.”
“Abby went above and beyond in caring for our two golden retrievers, Barbara and Timothy. She embraced their chaos and high energy from the moment they walked in the door and we felt fully confident leaving them with her knowing they would have an amazing time. Abby loved them like her own and took exceptional care of them - she even bathed them when they played too hard in some mud! Our pups were happy, healthy, and tired from walks and playtime when we picked them up - we could not recommmend Abby enough and can't wait for our next visit with her!”
“You know that feeling of being the best thing since rescuing your new family member? Well I don't feel that anymore because Thi and Jace showed me what I could be doing. Thi and Jace did an incredible job and pampered, spoiled, and treated Otto like their own. They took such good care of him with massages, treats, dog parks, snuggles! They are such incredible sitters! I would reccomend them to anyone and everyone! The daily updates with pictures and videos were awesome! I knew the whole time that he was with them that he would be cared for and loved. They gave him a new dog toy and treats to bring home. It doesn't matter what we do now, Thi and Jace will be the first we call when looking for a sitter. And you should too. Do not pass up reaching out to them!”
“Harper loved staying with Jennifer, they sent pictures, communicated regularly, made sure Harper was comfortable and treated her like their own. Very thankful we have found our "go to" pet sitter in Galveston! Not to mention their location is very central and easy to pickup and drop off! Thank you thank you!”
“We received photos of our sweet dog almost daily. We will definitely use Leon again! He has a beautiful family, they love dogs. Their children are grown, so, no issues if your dog doesn’t get along with small children. Happy to have found this wonderful family!!!”
“Hunter was great, very accommodating! My dog Penelope had lots of fun playing with their dogs and swimming in the pool! I will be booking with her again next time I’m out of town.”
“Amazing experience. I did not have any worries while I was away. I also think my dog’s experience here was way better and healthier than the big boarding facilities. Bella came home happy and tired from playing with all her new friends.”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“Andrea and her family were great. My dog loved his stay there! I rebooked with Andrea and as soon as we pulled up to the house he got excited and ran straight up to the door and inside. He's very comfortable there which helped put my mind at ease going forward. 5/5”
“Sarah is a ROCKSTAR!! This was the first time we've ever left our baby, Xena with anyone, but sadly they wouldn't let her on our week long cruise. However, Sarah calmed our anxiety in many ways because we knew she was in good hands. She met up with us at the dog park and let Xena get acquainted and comfy with Shadow and Louey. She sent me pics and videos of Xena throughout the week which warmed my heart. She and her pups treated Xena as one of the gang. I thought I'd have been much more anxious but Sarah knew just what to do to help. We don't travel often but if we do, I know who I'm coming back to! Thanks Sarah, youre the best!!!”
“Ashley and Chantelle were amazing!! They were such a life saver for me and I really appreciated that they could accommodate my last minute booking. The treated my baby boy so well and showed him so much love 💕 They provided me with lots of picture and video updates as well which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to be able to trust them with my stinkabutt. 🐶”
“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“Timothy did a great job taking care of Skipper . He sent a video of him playing and a photo of skipper sleeping in the bed . Always answer me back in a timely fashion when I was checking up on skipper.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
