About: Grew up on a farm with dogs and cats. My mom is a breeder for Bernese Mountain Dogs so I’m not afraid of big doggies! Experience with new litters and all sorts of breeds. I’m a graduate student so my schedule is flexible making it easy to watch pets during work hours. I also work from home as needed. I know schedules and routines are very beneficial for anxious pets. While you are away I can walk, feed, bathe if need be and make sure they are taken out regularly.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs—both small and large—so I’m very comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I previously worked at PetSmart as both a pet care associate and a dog trainer, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as cats and exotic pets. My training background allows me to better understand animal behavior, reinforce good habits, and handle pets with patience and confidence. Outside of work, I’m known for rescuing stray animals and even helping injured wildlife whenever I can—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a snake of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, walks, or just extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during lunch, and after 4 PM. I also offer boarding in my home and can provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. On weekends, I have full availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pet, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. When I’m away from home, I crate my dogs to ensure they stay safe and secure, and I’m happy to follow your preferences regarding crating or routines for your pet. I always take a thoughtful, attentive approach to introductions and supervision to make sure all pets feel comfortable and stress-free in my home. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, structured, and loving environment while in my care.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was 8. My grandparents owned a medium sized dog breeding company so I would spend my time feeding, bathing, walking, nurturing, and playing with dogs and pups. I did this for many years. As of right now I am free at any time of the day/week from Sun up to Sun down allowing me to be contacted and or take care of animals at any time. I have a fenced in yard in which my dog runs around freely whenever she wants to go out and is allowed inside at all times. I take good care of any animal wether it be a dog, cat, ferret, snake, etc. and always check in with the owners if anything were to happen. I'm also very patient and caring for all animals alike.

“My family and I were out of town for my daughter’s competition and we had to bring our 7 month old puppy, Boomer, a mini Golden Doodle. He doesn’t travel much so he was Not okay with being in the hotel alone for any length of time. We didn’t know what to do and decided to download the Rover app and reached out to Betty who responded so quickly and agreed to watch my baby last minute. She rearranged her schedule to help us out. Boomer is usually nervous and scared of strangers but he warmed up to Betty pretty quickly which gave me so much peace of mind.

Bohdi can be a bit particular at times, but Peyton handled everything with patience and care, making sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication—it gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bohdi was in such good hands. It’s clear Peyton goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but truly caring for pets as if they were their own. When I returned, Bohdi was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I would absolutely trust Peyton again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!
“Brittany is kind, responsive, clear, thorough, thoughtful, communicative, and very appreciated in our household! She’s walked my dog 15+ times & we will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have both personal and professional experience with various pets, including cats, dogs, chickens, and more. I gained this experience from owning my own pets and working at a veterinary office and animal boarding facility. I currently work part time but if enough progress is made I would like to focus more on this than my current job, and am available on weekends. I'm sorry, but I cannot take care of your pets in my home as my own pet is not friendly and I have roommates to consider. However, I can visit and stay at your home for as long as you need me to. Rest assured that I will ensure your pet's comfort at all times.

About: I've been taking dogs for jogs since I was about 7 years old. By 12, I was THE go-to pet sitter in my mom's work circle, often doing week long stints during summers. Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care.

I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.

About: Howdy! I started sitting when I was a young child, I learned to sit before I could walk. Now I am an excellent sitter and walker. 😂 Perfect for all the cat& dog needs of walking, or running, and great sitting for playing/petting. I like pets and will care for them with love as I do for mine. Treating your dear family member as a loved creation of God. I have owned at least one dog since 2010. I lost my cat to feline leukemia when he was 7. I understand the needs for different pets and do my best to be available as needed for those who have to leave their best friends for a short time. I can take care of pets in their own home, unfortunately at this time I am unable to house them. I have class a few hours in the morning then a long break before I work in the evenings for about 5 hours. This makes it easy for me to stop in and take care of pets as needed. I love spending time with my dog and take study breaks to play with him. In the mornings we go on long walks. Short walks in the afternoon with inside play time. And long walks and playing in the evening, sometimes we go to the dog park. I will treat your pet as I treat mine, ready to get loving scratches and all the energy out.

About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house.

I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

I live in a little farm in the Houston Suburbs. it's important to provide a safe and comfortable environment. This may include providing a designated area for the pet to sleep, access to food and water, and regular exercise and playtime. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any other specific needs their pets may have. It's important to ensure that the pets are kept safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and to provide regular updates and communication to the owners about how their pets are doing. In both cases, it's important to be prepared for emergencies and to have a plan in place for any unexpected situations that may arise.
“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs—both small and large—so I’m very comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I previously worked at PetSmart as both a pet care associate and a dog trainer, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as cats and exotic pets. My training background allows me to better understand animal behavior, reinforce good habits, and handle pets with patience and confidence. Outside of work, I’m known for rescuing stray animals and even helping injured wildlife whenever I can—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have two dogs, two cats, and a snake of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether your pet needs structured care, playtime, walks, or just extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the mornings, during lunch, and after 4 PM. I also offer boarding in my home and can provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. On weekends, I have full availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pet, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having company. When I’m away from home, I crate my dogs to ensure they stay safe and secure, and I’m happy to follow your preferences regarding crating or routines for your pet. I always take a thoughtful, attentive approach to introductions and supervision to make sure all pets feel comfortable and stress-free in my home. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, structured, and loving environment while in my care.
