“Rowena was friendly, professional, asked questions to learn about my dogs habits, like and dislikes. Her house is very clean and nice with a big yard. Sent updates and many photos throughout the day and she spent the time to talk with me and got to know me a bit too. I think this goes a long way as I am looking to leave my dog with her long term and wanting a second home for my dog. To provide personalized care. She communicates promptly and clearly about anything that I may be concerned with. I love this more than anything. She doesn’t over leverage with a bunch of dogs like other sitters. I was looking for a calm home for my dog. I’ve tried other Rover sitters and she is the best. Highly recommend.”
“I booked them to take care of my 10 month old golden retriever Kai for 6 days. definitely recommend having them as your pets care taker! they sent me videos and updates of my day everyday and they also picked him up and dropped him off! amazing service!! and i will definitely book with them again!”
“Amanda's services are highly recommended! Our dog Nala absolutely loved staying with Amanda and her lovely family. We got lots of regular updates and pics/vids to see how much fun she was having whilst she stayed there. Lots of outdoor time in the secure back garden, walkies and snuggles were had. We have definitely found our pups home from home! Thank you again! :)”
“After watching all the videos Ara sent me, I was afraid my dogs wouldn't want to come home... they were having a ball! Her home is lovely with a large backyard and I felt as though my babies were at summer camp. I couldn't have been happier!”
“We are so grateful for Marisa care of our dog Blossom while we were on vacation. Her patience, kindness and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind. She always understands our dog needs and keeps us in the loop with pictures. It is a such a comfort knowing our dog is in such loving hands.”
“So friendly and kind!! My fur babies loved it there and came home so happy. I was updated every morning and evening on them with photos showing their smiles. Could not be happier and will absolutely be booking again!!”
“Kristina was very responsive and very accommodating to our two fur babies. She updates us everyday with photos and I felt at peace when I was traveling out of state. Will definitely use her services next time!”
“We can’t recommend Britteny enough! We were in a bind and she was able to take our dogs same day. We have an older dog who is diabetic and blind so I was worried since this was our first time leaving them with Brittney. There was absolutely no reason to be worried. She took fantastic care of our pups. In fact, our diabetic dog looks better than when we dropped him off. She is excellent in both care and communication. She allowed us to enjoy our time away and we 100% recommend her to anyone needing a loving, caring home for their pets while gone.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I’m very pleased with the service. I really appreciated that the sitter took the time to meet with me in advance and made my little one feel so special. The daily check-ins were such a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend and will be using Rover again in the future!”
“My Molly girl had the BEST time with Andrea. She loved on her as she was her own. When we picked her up and drove home she crashed and burned. I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you Andrea 💛 for everything! !!”
“I was gone for 5 days and it was such a comfort to know my dog was in loving caring hands!! Angela sent many updates and pictures and it was evident she truly cares!! Highly recommend Angela and will book her again. ♥️”
“I’m so grateful to have found Patricia. She has quickly became my go-to sitter whenever I’m out of town, and my pup absolutely adores her. She’s reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels loved and comfortable.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Vicki! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. Our pups came home happy and well-cared for, and we appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept us at ease. Vicki was not only reliable and professional but also truly compassionate, treating our furry family members as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur babies, look no further! Highly recommended!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the drop-off and pick-up convenience, along with all the love and attention you gave Max. It means so much knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend and would definitely trust you with Max again in the future!”
“I cannot thank Neel and his family enough for the incredible care they gave him. From the moment he arrived, they welcomed him like family and made him feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. Milo can have anxiety in new environments, and they handled it with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. This allowed Milo to feel completely comfortable and relaxed while I was away. They kept me updated every single day with photos and videos. Seeing Milo and Sydney playing together was the highlight of my day while I was away! Seeing how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Milo was made it so clear that he was not just being watched, but genuinely cared for and loved. This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. They went above and beyond in every way possible, and I never once worried about Milo while he was with them. I am beyond grateful for the love, attention, and dedication they showed him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of Milo. I am so thankful to have found you and would trust you again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Lacey is Amazing. I absolutely love the way she treats Coco and how Coco loves her and her dogs. She definitely keeps me updated throughout the day and is well organized. Coco is in great hands with her ! I wish I could leave her 10 stars”
“Kelly is an amazing sitter and Trekkie enjoyed his stay at Kelly's place. She was quick to respond, sent regular updates and was very friendly. I will definitely use Kelly in future if Trekkie needs any boarding services.”

“Erin was wonderful! She was very open and communicative coming up to the visit, taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and asking additional details about Howard. She arrived on time, provided thorough check-ins on the app, and sent me pictures as well letting me know he was happy and healthy.”
About: Pets have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I've always considered them true family members. The love they give to you, and being such loyal companions who deserve the same care, respect, and devotion we give to our own children. Throughout the years, I've taken full responsibility for their well-being, from feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, providing comfort when needed, and always prioritizing their happiness and health. I would and have gone to great lengths to ensure their safety and joy, treating them with the unconditional love they so freely give in return. I recently left my full-time job to pursue my families dream of owning and operating our own business, which we have now actually started together. With this significant life transition, I am seeking a flexible side opportunity that can generate additional income while aligning with helping those in need, all while getting to work with animals, especially dogs! When I discovered this app, it felt like the ideal combination, connecting with pet owners who require assistance with dog walking, playtime, check-ins, or basic care. It perfectly merges meaningful work, while providing companionship and support to animals. This opportunity fits perfectly with my values and allows me to make a positive difference in the lives of both pets and their owners. I am excited about the potential and eager to get started! Treating them with the care and respect they deserve, all while giving them the attention they want! I love being with them as much as they love being with us!
“Starla is amazing. She loved my kitties like her own and was very reliable at dropping in to feed them. She sent lots of pictures and gave details in her daily reports of how they were doing. 10/10 recommend and we will be using her again next time we go out of town!”
“Bobbi is absolutely amazing! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, but she warmed up to Bobbi almost immediately, which says so much. Bobbi kept us updated throughout our trip with thoughtful messages, daily photos, and videos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cat was in loving, capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking Bobbi again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Weiyue and her partner were absolutely amazing cat sitters! Tom was clearly well-loved and cared for while we were away on our trip. It was so reassuring knowing he was in such capable hands. They sent us the photos and updates about Tom every visit. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter.”

About: My dogs are like my children, We've had Comet for 10 years and Bruno is our new wonderful addition. Our house is doggie proof, I enjoy going on walks around our neighborhood, playing with toys, and spending time together snuggling. I live in a beautiful area near Pecan Grove. Our community is new and pet friendly neighborhood. I have enough space in my backyard to play and have fun with your dog. I live in a two story house with a lot of space to take care of your doggie. I have 2 teenagers, boy and girl. My son LOVES dogs and dogs LOVE him! He is a dog magnet. He is thinking of becoming a vet or having his own pet business :-). I am a teacher so I am home all day during the summer break.
About: I absolutely love cats. Before my neighbor moved away, I would drop by her house after school to check on her cat while she was at work. As I got older, my mom would recommend me to her clients from her cleaning service when asked if she knew any pet-sitters who could watch their cats for a couple of hours, weekends, or on holidays.
“Patme took great care of my two cats. She provided daily updates, including pictures, and engaged with both of them. I appreciate her attention to detail with the instructions I provided as well. I would book with Patme again and recommend her to others.”
“Jenna was Amazing! She took such great care of my two fur babies and kept me up to date with everything the whole time I was gone. She sent multiple pictures everyday and it made me feel so much better about being away. I highly recommend Jenna!”
“Brittany is the BEST when it comes to taking care of your fur babies! She loves them as her own, and goes above and beyond with communication sharing text updates with photos and videos for you to see the joy your animals are experiencing in her care. She will treat your animals as family, book her today for exceptional snuggles and love when you are away!”
“This is our second time using Mckalynn. This time we left for 6 days. I would not trust anyone else to watch Gunner and Sparrow other than Mckalynn. Her attention to deal and communication is unlike any other. She truly cares and loves our babies like her own. She will do anything to make sure they have their full needs met. She will play and give all the cuddles. She gives our animals preference in everything she does. She will use all minutes to cuddle, play or pets. She isn't afraid to sit on the ground to allow our clingy animals in her lap. She is so graceful and does things effortlessly. If you worry about leaving your fur babies for a long trip doing Rover and choosing Mckalynn is the best way. This makes our lives so much easier knowing someone as awesome as her us taking care of our pets in the comfort of our home. We will be booking again.”
“Sabra provides excellent service and is extremely thoughtful and conscientious. She took excellent care of my pet and I highly recommend her. I have used her numerous times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Esmerelda is great at what she does, my dog warmed up to her very quickly and they had fun together. She's a really sweet lady and easy to talk to. This is my first time using the app but feel so comfortable leaving my puppy in good hands with Esmerelda.”

However, I always have time to look after pets, especially on weekends. I am perfectly okay with pets coming to my house or going over there, which ever you prefer! My yard is fenced. I have three cats and one dog, but they will not bother your pets. I tend to spend all my time with your pets to make sure they are getting lots of love and care while you’re away! I always take photos as well, and will send them to you to show that your fur baby is well taken care of!
About: My dogs are like my children, We've had Comet for 10 years and Bruno is our new wonderful addition. Our house is doggie proof, I enjoy going on walks around our neighborhood, playing with toys, and spending time together snuggling. I live in a beautiful area near Pecan Grove. Our community is new and pet friendly neighborhood. I have enough space in my backyard to play and have fun with your dog. I live in a two story house with a lot of space to take care of your doggie. I have 2 teenagers, boy and girl. My son LOVES dogs and dogs LOVE him! He is a dog magnet. He is thinking of becoming a vet or having his own pet business :-). I am a teacher so I am home all day during the summer break.
About: FREE extra pets for sitting! Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a US Army Veteran of the Iraq War, 2014 Texas A&M graduate, currently enrolled in an online graduate program through Texas Tech for Clinical Rehab Counseling. My goal is to work with other Veterans when I graduate. I walk multiple Rover doggos every morning and evening, and even weekends. I pride myself on being punctual, having good communication with my clients, and making bonds with the dogs I walk. Book me to add your loves to my schedule. I am a long-time dog owner, currently two huskies who I consider part of my family. I walk them every day, and they let me know when it’s time. Spoiled with love, toys, more love, treats, even more love, good food, a little more love and scratches of course. Since joining Rover, I’ve gained a wealth of experience handling dogs of different ages and needs, and clients with different expectations and levels of instruction. I’ve sat for disabled dogs, older dogs, young and hyper dogs. I’ve sat for and walked dogs in apartments, gated communities, even a senior living facility. And I’m ready to go above and beyond. I helped a client who had surgery by taking their dog to the vet. If I can do it, I will help. I have a big heart for pets. They love us unconditionally after all. They deserve it. Please note: I do not sit for or walk aggressive dogs or breeds known for dangerous behavior. I, as a provider, am open to legal liability if there’s ever any incidents. It’s simply not worth the risk, and though I am insured, I cannot afford the liability those types of incidents would require. I hope you understand, this is a business decision, not a judgment. Also please note I am not a dog trainer. My dogs are spoiled! If you are looking for someone to walk your dog like all those trainer videos, that’s not me. I want dogs to have fun on their walks, not feel like they just get what they can get out of them. I let them sniff around, look at ducks or squirrels, mark, all while maintaining safe boundaries for your pet and other pedestrians and pets. And none of this means I will not reinforce training expectations you have already instilled in your pet, simply let me know what those are. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to get to know me better. We can have a video chat. As to my schedule, I am currently in an online graduate program, so I have a flexible availability. Please reach out to me about my current walking schedule for regular clients as to what times I have available and what may be best for you. For some reason, this app allows people to book requests during times I am already booked, so that is one thing we’d have to discuss. What can you expect from me? Lots of love, cuddles, scratches, treats, playtime. Your pets will have my full attention. I know I charge a little more than others, but that’s because you’re paying for the best. Someone who is reliable, trustworthy with your home and pets, and who meets and exceeds your expectations and instructions. I once hired a sitter who didn’t realize I had a camera in my den. She spent 95% of the time I paid for to give my dogs some attention on her phone. She even swatted away my dogs when they approached! Then snapped some pics, fed them and left. I NEVER want my clients to feel that way. I will treat your pets the way I would hope people would treat my own.
About: I work full time but I am exploring other opportunities to do things I love to replace corporate America. I am a proud mom of a 12year old boy and have a LOVE for animals I am teaching him. I am a fun outgoing person but sometime defensive with humans. I have always had a natural connection with animals and when I lived in NY would take in dogs and find loving homes for them. Part of taking in dogs required me to sometimes to rehabilitate due to malnutrition, abuse, and neglect. You can expect that when your furr babies are in my care they are being treated with respect and love and will become part of my family no matter how long or short their stay. I am currently working from home, and I am available weekdays and weekends for round the clock care. I can accommodate most pet routines with ease. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they’re part of the family! I create a safe and cozy environment for both dogs and cats, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. Daily routines include engaging playtime for dogs, interactive toys for cats, and lots of snuggles. I maintain consistent feeding schedules and ensure fresh water is always available, prioritizing their comfort and happiness. In Your Home: For in-home visits, I follow your pets’ established routines to keep them relaxed. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes for cats, and take dogs out for walks and playtime. I’m also happy to send you updates and photos so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away!
“Esmeralda has been exceptional with her patience and willingness to be adaptable in working with our 2 dogs. Both have big trust issues and are very nervous to allow new people around them. She has devoted a lot of her extra time to make sure they get and feel comfortable with her. That being said, she has relieved a lot of stress and concern on my end for I want my dogs to feel as little anxiety and fear as possible as well as benefit from having the ability to go outside and go for a walk and get some fresh air. I hope Esmeralda can be a part of our household as long as possible and enjoys the dogs as much as I enjoy having her help.”
“Sabra was great. I really appreciate the updates. Made me feel good knowing my four legged friend was being looked after. Sabra really seemed to care about Rex. She has a lot of experience with dogs. Very grateful that we met her on River.com”

“I booked them to take care of my 10 month old golden retriever Kai for 6 days. definitely recommend having them as your pets care taker! they sent me videos and updates of my day everyday and they also picked him up and dropped him off! amazing service!! and i will definitely book with them again!”
“Kristina was very responsive and very accommodating to our two fur babies. She updates us everyday with photos and I felt at peace when I was traveling out of state. Will definitely use her services next time!”
“We can’t recommend Britteny enough! We were in a bind and she was able to take our dogs same day. We have an older dog who is diabetic and blind so I was worried since this was our first time leaving them with Brittney. There was absolutely no reason to be worried. She took fantastic care of our pups. In fact, our diabetic dog looks better than when we dropped him off. She is excellent in both care and communication. She allowed us to enjoy our time away and we 100% recommend her to anyone needing a loving, caring home for their pets while gone.”
“My Molly girl had the BEST time with Andrea. She loved on her as she was her own. When we picked her up and drove home she crashed and burned. I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you Andrea 💛 for everything! !!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Patricia. She has quickly became my go-to sitter whenever I’m out of town, and my pup absolutely adores her. She’s reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels loved and comfortable.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the drop-off and pick-up convenience, along with all the love and attention you gave Max. It means so much knowing he was in such caring hands. Highly recommend and would definitely trust you with Max again in the future!”
“I cannot thank Neel and his family enough for the incredible care they gave him. From the moment he arrived, they welcomed him like family and made him feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. Milo can have anxiety in new environments, and they handled it with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. This allowed Milo to feel completely comfortable and relaxed while I was away. They kept me updated every single day with photos and videos. Seeing Milo and Sydney playing together was the highlight of my day while I was away! Seeing how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Milo was made it so clear that he was not just being watched, but genuinely cared for and loved. This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. They went above and beyond in every way possible, and I never once worried about Milo while he was with them. I am beyond grateful for the love, attention, and dedication they showed him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of Milo. I am so thankful to have found you and would trust you again in a heartbeat. 💛🐾”
“I was worried about leaving my 10wk ofd puppy with anyone for the first time, especially knowing there were other big dogs in the house, when he'd never really met any dogs before. BUT, to my VERY pleasant surprise, it proved to be one of the BEST days my baby ever had, as realized from the video sent to me while he was there. My pup ended up taking over the place; literally running around, jumping on, and over the big dogs who were sweet enough to tolerate his energetic l'il self? 🤐🤣 It was hilarious, and immediately put me at ease! Mr Chang was even kind enough to take him as a last minute booking as I knew no one, but trusted Rover from the past! I can't thank he, and his friend enough for accommodating us, and they deserve more than the 5 stars available! 🥰”
“Kelly is an amazing sitter and Trekkie enjoyed his stay at Kelly's place. She was quick to respond, sent regular updates and was very friendly. I will definitely use Kelly in future if Trekkie needs any boarding services.”
“Megan take care of my pet very well while we were out of state. Whenever we want to see him, she took the photos and send to us . Really appreciate to find Megan near our home thru Rover app.”
“Great service. We do recommend Alison to anyone, our dogs received love and care and we loved it the experience. If you are looking for someone to love your dogs awhile you are out of town this is the right place.”
“Wonderful service! I felt guilty for not taking him with me, but Alejandro and Keyla took great care of my little fur baby and sent several photos and videos every day! I felt very comfortable knowing he was being well taken care of. Will book again with Alejandro and Keyla next time!”
“This was a short visit for Hira and Belle with Janna. Janna did share a couple of pictures during their stay and they looked happy. Thank you for taking them out on walks, Janna. Much appreciated. We will definitely considers booking their stays with Janna’s family again.”
“Mona was great! Our dogs usually have a hard time adjusting when we're gone but they seemed to do just fine with her! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Mona!”
“Lily was amazing with my dog, Pearl! She sent daily pics and updates which I really appreciated. It made it so easy to relax knowing Pearl was in good hands. Pearl came back happy and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel and Kristy were amazing. They kept your girls for 5 weeks and they stayed in contact, kept us updated in everything happening, and were flexible when we needed to extend our stay. Highly recommend them to anyone in the Katy/Richmond area looking for reliable, experienced pet sitters.”
“Gina was AMAZING! Great communication, quick response for availability, flexible and helped with updating trip plans. We had a meet and greet in public & instantly felt comfortable! She and family are so welcoming and I truly felt my pups were away on vacation as well lol. Received loads of photo and video updates with the cutest messages from our pups’ pov 🥰. We will definitely be a regular customer ! Please give her a try, you won’t regret it!”
“America was great with my 5 month old puppy! You can tell she has been taking care of dogs for a while. She was super sweet and sent me pictures and videos while I was gone. I will definitely book with her again!”
