About: Genuine love for pets. I naturally care for their well-being and love the affection I get from all animals. My family and I have 5 dogs of our own and recently we were adopted by our newly stray cat, Carey. We have been fostering dogs since Thanksgiving of 2017 and we have learned a lot how all pets deserve second chances and how each one of them heals at their own time. My dog walks are tailored to your pet needs, I will focus on the safety of your pet and myself during my service. You can trust that your pet will always be in loving and caring hands. Dog walking would be my primary activity next to my English classes. I will work with you to make sure that your pets needs are met in a timely manner. At home we have a fenced backyard and at my customers' homes I make sure that safety is a priority during my service. That means that I would make sure that your pet is properly secured and that is happy while we are together.
“Leslie is awesome! Great communication, really attentive, always letting me know how Kora was doing. All the pictures she took were beautiful and funny! I could tell my baby was enjoying here time with her! Beyond grateful!”
“Zoraya was amazing with my little Duke! She made me feel completely at ease while I was away for 2 weeks, sending plenty of photos and videos. Truly his second home 🫶🏼”

“Charlie had his second stay at Randy’s! He came back happy and tired just the way I wanted my pup to be. Thank you for taking a great care of him. We’ll be back again!”
“Tressa has watched our dog multiple times and he gets SO excited to go see her!! Even on our normal walks, if we’re in the area he’ll pull to try and go to her house, that’s how much he loves it there! And he’s an anxious dog who is scared to go most places, so this is truly a big deal!!”
“Whiskey came home ready to nap. Seems like he had a good time! Erica is a lovely woman that loves dogs! Im grateful she kept him and gave him a fun holiday break.”
“I had to leave my sweet girl—Lin—for the first time while I traveled, I was so so worried, but Leigh was amazing! She sent me pictures everyday and Lin looked so happy and cared for, it was easy for me to relax and enjoy my vacation! I’m so glad I booked with Leigh and I highly recommend her.”
“Jocelyn was amazing. She sent me pictures every few hours and made sure that Carter finished his food before playing again with the other dogs. I will definitely book with her again!!!”
“This was my first time using Marcela & Michelle. They went above and beyond to assure me that my dog was in the best care. They sent me photos and videos daily, even without me asking! I’ve never felt more assured that my dog was being well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use them next time I need a sitter!”
“Adrion had very quick communication and great patience with our puppy! I was very anxious since this was my first time having someone watch my puppy, but Adrion took great care of him in boarding. Would book again!”
“Kelsie was awesome! We loved getting pictures and updates while she was watching our furbaby. She’s responsive and reliable. We would definitely use her services again”
“I had a good feeling about Caleb before the booking and I am so glad I booked with him. This was Rex’s first overnight stay with anyone and it went tremendously well. My dog has a bit of separation anxiety and takes a while to warm up to new friends but within hours Rex made a new best friend. Caleb sent pictures of Rex that warmed my heart and helped my anxiety. Caleb is a kind, gentle spirit with so much patience and we need more sitters just like him! Drop off and pick up was effortless and communication is 10/10 from beginning to end. Will definitely rebook with Caleb as long as he is around :)”
“Jayla was very good with communication and very friendly. The most important part is she bonded with Aries. Aries likes her. Very good accommodations for her. I wanted someone that wouldn't just crate her the entire time. Someplace she could feel was an extension of home a bit. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Brittany was incredible. She sent us snaps, updates and made Millie feel at home immediately. She was very communicative and worked with us! We would highly recommended her and hope to have Millie stay with her again!”

“Amy & Chelsea were incredible!! Our puppy had an amazing time at their huge property. They have a lovely and very friendly corgi who he loved playing with! They went above and beyond and made sure our puppy had the best time. They are both super nice and accommodating and we would definitely recommend them for all your furry friends!”
“Ximena was absolutely wonderful with Cody! She stayed in contact throughout the entire stay, sending frequent photo updates and videos that gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care about the animals they watch. I came home to a very happy and relaxed pup. I will definitely be booking with them again!"”
“First time to use Rover to board my geriatric pups. Steve was very kind and attentive with the dogs and me , meeting us ahead of time so the dogs would be familiar when I dropped them off. Great updates each day and they were very well cared for. Will definitely use again.”

She made great recommendations based on her experience as well. I would highly recommend her and would feel comfortable having her watch my pets again anytime.”
“Wonderful, simply wonderful! From our first meet-and-greet we were impressed with Jay’s thoughtful, interested, and caring approach to looking after our two cats. While we were out of the country for two weeks she kept us up-to-date with every day reports, photos, videos - and she managed to gain the confidence of two very shy cats. She was on top of everything - food, water, litter, where they had hidden their toys . . . We definitely highly recommend Jay and will definitely seek her out for our future travel!”

“Mateo is an amazing sitter! He took care of our cat, Tux, for 10 days while we were away. He was very professional, kind, and flexible, providing us with wonderful updates and videos that made us feel so at ease. Even with a minor parking issue at our place, he handled everything with great patience. We highly recommend Mateo and would love to work with him again. Thank you, Mateo!”
“We can always count on Natali to take care of our cat! She is very trustworthy and hands on! I am appreciative to have her drop in on Maximilian why we are away! I highly recommend her for drop in visits!”
“Katherine came to my house on time every day. Although our pet Misty went into hiding, she kept us updated at every visit and even told us to let her know if we need anything else. It was a pleasure having her take care of Misty.”
“Ismael is sooo good with my girls Deedee and Smugkins! Deedee is shy and aloof and occasionally sassy, with him she found the confidence to be cuddly and playful. Smugkins is always game for play and attention and he has taken care of her with as much love and attention as the first time.”
“Allison is amazing with my cats! she picks up on their quirks quickly and is incredibly attentive to their health. I always feel confident and safe leaving them in her care”

“Lily loved Adrian right away 🥰 Adrian was very easy going and cordial. His time and service gave our visit to MD Anderson some relief knowing Lily was being well taken care of.”
“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”
“Harper’s day care experience was awesome! What a convenient way for me to get scans and tests done at MDA and big have to worry about him while I’m at those appointments. Tommie & Jeffrey make drop-off and pick-up super easy and efficient.”
About: Hi! I’m Leigh, and I grew up in a very pet oriented home, which helped nourish my affection for all different kinds of animals. I have a 4 year old miniature poodle who is just as excited to spend time with your pet! Please note minimum THREE days are required for booking services. Can accommodate special needs and other requests, just ask. Thanks! I work from home! So there’s always lots of attention and affection given to your pet throughout the day. When absent from home, I always want animals to feel comfortable so I don’t typically crate unless otherwise specified. Boarding pickup and drop off hours are designated between 7am -9pm weekdays and 7am-11pm on Fri/Sat. If your hours are outside of this, it is considered a special accommodation and will require an additional fee. Please inquire, thanks! My home is warm and playful. I want all pets to have a safe and happy transition while their owner is away. Since I understand it can be tough to leave your loved one, I do provide daily updates upon request. It’s my goal to not only ensure your animal is well cared for, but also that you have security in choosing me as a provider. As some bookings may overlap, please be advised your pet may be boarded with other (small/medium sized) dogs, and all temperaments are evaluated for safety. Always let me know what I can do to make your experience better!
“Jocelyn is always so accommodating and ready to help me with my dog. It’s apparent she and her family truly care for dogs and treats them like their own! So many updates are sent during the day, it’s so reassuring for me!”
“Tressa was great to work with. I was in town on business and brought my pooch with me. Tressa was extremely responsive with the booking process and throughout my dog’s stay. He enjoyed himself every day and could tell he was well looked after. Thank you”
“Jennifer is amazing! She took care of Leo as if he was her own! She is punctual, professional and very dependable. It really was a blessing I came across her thru this app! There is really no one I trust more with my puppy than her!”
“Cassandra was awesome with my pups, even got my picky Pomsky to let her pet her and on top of that pet her head which she’s super iffy about! Def would recommend her and her facility!!!”
“Jessica was great! She clearly loves animals and my pup bonded with her. It is always hard to leave a pup with someone new, but Jessica was very thoughtful in introducing my Bonni to her pets, and she held Bonni to give her comfort at drop off and kept me updated with pictures. I will not hesitate to drop Bonni off with her again.”
“Kimberly was great with Gibson, and even was able to accommodate when I was unable to pick him up at his original time. I can’t recommend a more kind and trusting sitter! Thank you, Kimberly!”
“Filipa is amazing with Tabasco. I’ve had her take him walking, she’s pick him up and brought him home for day care stays. I always get loads of pictures and updates too. She is very safety conscious and cares so well for my baby when he is in her care. I just can’t think of anyone better equipped and prepared.”
“Delilah was amazing, very good with our fur baby, very experienced. But most important very tolerating and understanding with our little Tornado Raadi. Followed our instructions exactly and kept us updated as needed and or requested. Would highly recommend her.”
“Krysta was the perfect sitter to my two pups! She was reliable, responsive, and sent photos and videos of them enjoying what was clearly a very safe and welcoming environment. I would gladly book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Maria (and Penny too!) took such great care of Flynn! We got lots of photos and videos, it was so clear that Flynn was having fun all day. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for friends' and neighbors' pets, I treat every dog like family and provide the love and attention they deserve. I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I have two Boston Terriers of my own whom I walk and care for daily. They are both extremely friendly, love meeting other dogs, and are always happy to make new furry friends! While I don't have a fenced yard, I live right next to a dog park and take my own pups there for walks and playtime every day. Your dog will have full access to our home and is welcome on the furniture. My goal is to make sure they feel as comfortable and loved as they do at home. We provide plenty of attention, affection, and cuddles to ensure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and part of the family.
“Erica was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and she took great care of my dog Hank. She is nice and responsive. Hank is a little shy but was happy to go see her the second and 3rd day. I definitely recommend her.”

“Ynes was amazing! On her first visit with our dog, Biscuit, she was so kind, patient, and attentive. She is definitely the person you trust with your fur baby. We can’t wait to book Ynes again!”
“The most dependable, even on short notice. I cannot say enough good things! I know my girl is well-loved, taken care of, and ultra comfortable any time I'm away. The peace of mind that comes with booking with Darius is invaluable.”
“Bailee was so wonderful with my girls! She met up with us a day prior to ensure my dogs would feel comfortable hanging out with her the next day, she was so reliable and sweet and I felt so safe and comfortable trusting her with my girls. I can’t wait for them to hang out again!”
“Allison is such a blessing to me and my little dog! She is trustworthy and responsive. I have peace of mind when I’m at work knowing my dog is being walked and cared for by Alison.”
About: I have grown up around dogs, cats, and even chickens my whole life! I am extremely patient with animals as I’ve learned to train them from a very young age. I just moved to Houston and I’m transitioning in between jobs. I am very flexible as of right now and have very open availability. I am a big fan of all animals! I am receptive of all pet energy levels and I am more happy to accommodate to any special needs they may have.
“I needed temporary help taking 3 dogs on morning walks, especially early since one of them was a senior dog! Luckily, I found Christina! Her price was affordable and service was excellent! She was reliable, always punctual and even aaccommodated to my slight change of time for the senior dog. Don't hesitate to book her to take care of your fur baby! Thank you Christina! I couldn't have made it through those 3 weeks without your help!”

About: I’ve had dogs and all types of animals since I was a baby. I’m a huge animal lover. I don’t have time to have one of my own but I would love to babysit one when I do have the time! I work part time at a restaurant and the rest of my time I’m homes taking online classes so I have time for a companion when I do have days off for school. I live by myself so they would never be left in anyone else’s hands. They would only be with me and I have no their animals.
About: I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed stroll or an active run, I’m happy to match their pace and help them get the exercise they need. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and a consistent part of your pet’s routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for every time we’re together. As a full-time student with a very flexible summer schedule, I have plenty of availability to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and runs, so dog walking naturally fits into my routine. I love spending time outdoors, and I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I always follow your instructions and make your pet’s safety my top priority. I’ll make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs while keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the walk. I pay close attention to leash safety, avoid situations that could be stressful or unsafe, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll know your dog is having a great time while you’re away.
About: My name is Jennifer, I’m a big animal lover and I’ve been pet sitting for the last 8yrs. I have an alaskan malamute and 3 guinea pigs of my own but I’ve taken care of many other pets. I’m willing to walk, feed, bathe and play with your furry friends. I’m the owner of my own petsitting business, I love taking care of animals and available at anytime when needed depending on my schedule. I always make sure to respond and communicate with pet parents I’m a big animal lover so when I take care of pets, I get excited just getting to know and take care of them. It’s always my #1 concern that the pets i’m sitting are fully taken care of and safe.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life and grew up around both farm animals and household pets. Over the heads I’ve gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, and looking after animals of different sizes and temperaments. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality. I’m currently going to school two days out of the week and I am open to sit any other day. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m open to any opportunity that arises. I am willing to work around any and all accommodations needed for the fur babies. I care for any pet the way I would care for a child, with lots of love and care.
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.

From the start, she was flexible and accommodating with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything much easier. She sent regular photo updates throughout their stay, reached out for clarification when needed, and cared for them during the thunderstorm! This gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated them like family. She even let them sleep with her, which helped my older dogs feel comfortable and at home. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.”
