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.

“Carolina was amazing with our cat, Pinky! This was our first time being away from our cat and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit anxious. Carolina made the process so easy by explaining how everything worked and being incredibly accommodating with our travel changes. Pinky is a little bit shy, but she immediately liked Carolina at the meet & greet. And during our trip, the photos Carolina sent gave us so much peace of mind. We can tell that Pinky was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Carolina has always answered to any questions and concerns right away, and made sure that Pinky had a clean litterbox, dry and wet food, and plenty of playtime during the drop-in visits.”
“Natali took great care of our baby! Even though he is a shy cat, he was always happy to see her. It was our 1st time using Rover and she helped guide us and make us feel safe with the platform. Will def reach out again next time we are out of town!”
“Natalie is an exceptional sitter who will go above and beyond for you! I was out of town for two weeks, and she dropped in to check on my three cats every day. She informed me ahead of time if she had to come late. I used pine litter and she also helped sift the litter a few times while I was gone. She even took in my Amazon packages and took the trash out for me, which I wasn't expecting from a sitter! Overall, she gave me peace of mind during my travels and I would book her again in the future.”
“Michael did a great job watching my cat while I was out of town. He always provided updates when needed and I looked forward to his pictures after every visit! My cat is also pretty spicy when it comes to claw trimming, but Michael was able to do it when the time was right.”
“Mateo was great, communicative, flexible, and willing to work on a last minute basis which we really appreciate. He also fed a stray cat that lives in our yard which he didn’t have to do but we also appreciated.”
“Joni was an amazing pet sitter! She checked in on my cats over Christmas and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, very communicative, and sent lots of great photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats and made sure they were happy and well looked after. I would absolutely book with Joni again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Karleen was a wonderfully caring, attentive sitter for my cat Apollo. She included a detailed note at the end of each drop-in about Apollo’s mood, energy levels etc. that was reassuring, funny and overall such a joy to read each night. I could tell from the photos Karleen included in the Rover card that Apollo was happy and at ease around her. 100% would recommend and book again!”
“I am so grateful to have found Courtney! My cat is 18 years old and on several medications that need to be administered twice a day. Despite having to administer the dreaded pills, Courtney managed to get my cat to bond with her! The poor girl even crawled inside of cabinets to reach my cat in her favorite hiding spots. I highly recommend anyone needing extra care and concern for their pet to put their trust in Courtney.”
“She was lovely! Friendly, patient, and kind. We had an issue with gate access and she was gracious. This is exactly the kind of person you need to take care of your baby while you’re away. Thanks Heaven! 🩷 🐾”

About: I genuinely love and care for animals in general. From small to wild & Exotic. Running my own canine daycare has lifted my business off the ground to succeed at my goal. Many years of experience I’ve gained behavior knowledge, along with training to Vaccinate, medicate, and bathing all sizes. I adore my career. Overtime I’ve affiliated with many vet hospitals while majoring vet med, which is a plus for my clients during playtime accidents or general health conditions. Under parents approval are they okay to play with separate boarders. A lovely individual play is also provided. Overall, my home becomes your home once they find their spot 🫶🏽 Thank you in advanced for choosing me as your sitter. P.S their photos are added to my profile daily. They’re all stars✨ 🤭 I canine sit full time while taking online classes. A mother of 1 w/ an additional business in art in the comfort of my home. Pups fit perfectly in my schedule. PSA: Any pups stay longer than a week, please schedule a 1x Spa & bath during their stay or have them bathed before their boarding schedule starts only If they have strong odors. I will not accept clients with no baths included in boarding or before they arrive. My home is my safe and care free zone where my peace and serenity is. Positive energy is mandatory. Your pet will absorb that energy. Which also comes with treats and lots of belly rubs. Including your requirements, I’m happy to include in their boarding routine.
“I am so grateful to have found Abigail. She is professional, so organized, responsive, and loving. She’s exactly what you would want in someone caring for your pup. Her home is a dog paradise with a backyard and so many sunny spots to sit, and my dog clearly enjoyed all his time there. I will definitely be using Abigail again :)”

About: I have had a cat since I was 10 and A dog since 12. I have experience with my cat giving birth to kittens and raising them. I also have adopted a cat who was FIV +. My first word as a kid was dog lol and I absolutely adore all dogs. I am active and live walking/ running almost as much as the athletic dogs but I am also always down to chill with a senior dog or little dog who needs a different kind of attention to feel loved. I have taken care of several senior dogs with arthritis or blindness and understand the importance of intentional care. I would love to help make your furry friends feel loved while you’re away. I work part time at night so I am free all day and nights when Im not working. Taking care of your pet is my priority I’m happy to care for pets in their home, whether that means stopping by for playtime, feeding, walks, or simply giving them some company while you’re away. I also offer walks and fun outings to help keep pets active and happy! I’m not currently offering overnight stays, but I’m happy to provide dependable daytime care. I also have a friendly cat of my own and would be happy to host a cat in my home if they are comfortable and friendly around other cats. 🐾🤍
About: I have had many pets over the years, both cats and dogs, and fully understand the level of attention and love they require. I will be sure to care for your pets just as I would my own! I can walk dogs well, and can follow special instructions if necessary! I also am able to give your animals the appropriate medications if needed. I have lots of animals back home of various sizes. At my dads we have a German Shepard and Chocolate Lab, and a cat. At my moms we have a larger dog, unsure of breed, a chihuahua, and a terrier. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes, so there will be no problems no matter the type of dog you have!

I would 100% recommend her and that is why I have her booked each week!”

About: Hi everyone, I’m Diana and live in the Heights. I’ve been fostering dogs with local Houston-area rescue organizations since 2022. Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping 14 dogs transition into their furever homes, gaining experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs.. In 2025, I was fortunate to adopt the perfect pup—Forrest who truly made my house feel like home. Also my virtual office intern. He is an older dog, and comfortable around other dogs, cats and children. I look forward to treating your pet like part of the family while they're in my care. 🐾 Feel free to reach out for any additional questions or requests to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I work as an engineer with a hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend a significant amount of time at home. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live in a townhouse within a gated community that features an enclosed dog park just a short walk away, providing a safe and convenient space for exercise and play.

She is quick to respond so booking is always easy and flexible! Our dog has a lot of puppy energy and Chelsea is great with helping wear her out! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
