“I had a great experience with Chin-yi Rowena as my dog sitter. She was incredibly attentive to my small Maltese, ensuring he was well-fed and got the right amount of exercise. I appreciated her consistent communication—she sent regular text updates and lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would definitely book with Chin-yi again!”
“Ara was apparently so great with Brew he was slightly depressed when he got home! Sure he was happy to be home with his fam and in his house, but somewhere in the back of his mind he misses being with Ara. She did a great job, sent us videos every day and pictures after we got home. We will definitely use Ara again if we are getting out of town. I know that would make Brewster very happy! Thank you so much!!”
“Reagan and her family did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs while we went on a post Christmas family vacation. Their attention to detail and care they took was second to none. We greatly appreciate it and we know we have a great, trustworthy option to care for our other kids in the future! 😁”
“Ruth loved on my Sunny baby for 8 days while we were out of town. She walked her daily and took great care of her while we were on, sending pictures and checking in frequently to keep our mind at ease while we were away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Beatriz was great with my dogs. She sent several pics and videos throughout the visit which helped me feel good about having a sitter. Most importantly the dogs looked relaxed and happy in all the photos. She and her family took great care of my girls!”
“Marisa looked after Jeff so well. We received an update every day with photos and he looked very happy on every one of them. It is obvious to see that she and her husband are genuine dog lovers and showered him with love and affection. We cannot recommend her enough and we will be using her again in the future. In fact I am just about to see if she is available for our vacation in May!”
“Amanda is fantastic. We are a repeat customer multiple times and Amanda is our number 1 choice always. She loves dogs and takes such excellent care of our dear toy poodle Moon. Showering him with love and attention each and every day. Amanda also keeps us updated with photos and videos of Moon on a regular basis so we always feel connected.

“Scooby had an amazing time boarding with Chelsea! Chelsea sent me lots of pictures daily and Scooby always looked so happy in all of them. Scooby was so spoiled with treats, pets, and love from the whole family during his stay that he basically had his own vacation away from home and came back a very happy puppy. Would definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for boarding in the area!”

At my home, pets have plenty of safe space to play in my fenced yard, and I always keep a close eye on them around the pool to make sure they stay safe. I also enjoy taking dogs on leash walks to the nearby dog park so they can get fresh air, exercise, and social time. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family.

About: Hi there, my name is Anne. As a stay-at-home furry mom who works part-time and from home, I have ample time to play with and shower your fur child with love, just like I do with mine.

About: To all my pet parents, I can’t thank you enough for considering me, and giving me the privilege to do something I truly love, helping people and animals. All I’ve ever wanted in life is to help and I am just so grateful that you’ve all put your trust in me to care for your babies. I’ve had animals my whole entire life, I grew up with a lot of siblings which meant even more animals. My love for animals goes beyond, I will say I’m terrified of insects but I like to be kind to ALL creatures, and will do everything to protect them and get them somewhere safe. My animals are my absolute world, they are all rescues. I’ve always had a hard time saying no to any animals asking to be loved/cared for. I have done several successful TNR’s for cats in neighborhoods I’ve lived in, along with taking dogs/cats to vets and animal shelters to try to help them be reunited with family/finding a forever home. I’m always just trying to help save as many as I can. I currently have one pup, 5 cats that live inside and 2 outside cats. I am a helicopter parent of my babies and I would love to be considered to be a helicopter for yours as well, I myself use Rover and I would love to meet you and your babies to assure our compatibility, as I do with mine, and rest assured if you do not feel completely comfortable I will not be offended, the ultimate goal is that our babies are well taken care of and we have peace of mind! I am not currently working besides Rover, so my schedule will be open for you, and I would love to provide your babies with all the care they will need while you’re away :) I unfortunately cannot offer in home care at this time. I have had animals of different temperaments or some that need extra care for medical reasons, I am not able to give shots but I am familiar with giving medications.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs in my house so I love animals! I’ve also fostered animals through Aggieland Humane society so I’m somewhat familiar with animals that need medical attention, whether that be just giving medicine or caring for wounds. I’m always willing to learn more to accommodate your fur baby! I am currently operating a small business from home so my schedule is very flexible! I don’t typically offer morning services but can work around if requested. Every pet parent has their preferences, so in order for me to make the most out of a visit, I recommend leaving me a list of preferences and any rules you might have. This includes furniture rules, eating habits, medications, and your usual routine times for walks or park trips.
About: I am a caring and responsible dog sitter and dog walker who enjoys spending time with dogs. I ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable and will always have open communication.I treat every dog with kindness, patience, and attentive care. My goal is to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience during every visit. I currently have available time Monday through Friday from 9 am until 2:30 pm to help out working families with their family pets. I know how important it is to have our family members taken care of and I would love to be entrusted to help in any way. I would love to do a meet and greet and familiarize myself with each unique pet. I’m very attentive to a dogs body language and I would love to build a trusting bond with your pets.
About: I’ve familiarized myself with all types of animals, diets, ages, and additional needs such as potty training or medications. I would love to accommodate any pet parent and their baby with amazing care! I’m currently unemployed and have open hours to spend time with your pups! I’m a college student so my schedule is flexible and my hours are any time you need! Pets are cared for according to their owners instructions, usually being fed twice during the morning and night. Typically walk dogs two to three times a day, medication administered if/when necessary, and free time is spent open roaming in the household (under supervision of course)!
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.
“Lily is absolutely lovely and oats so much attention to Cianan on their walks. Super communicative, sending fun pics the whole time. Working with Lily is so easy, and I feel reassured Cianan is getting love as well as exercise.”

“Ruth loved on my Sunny baby for 8 days while we were out of town. She walked her daily and took great care of her while we were on, sending pictures and checking in frequently to keep our mind at ease while we were away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Neel and his family are very nice and supportive. Can’t express how grateful I feel to have them care for Cheese. They shared pictures/videos to us every day. Sydney is now the best friend of Cheese for sure. They sent Cheese to the vet when he does not feel very well. Communication is very easy. Will definitely be back in the future! Thanks Neel!”

Pictures and videos and communication daily and I look forward for them. The pups have been sleeping the whole time since I picked them up as they played everyday!”

He stuck to a strict feeding schedule made sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime, and even gave her a bath so she came home smelling fresh. The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my trip and gave me total peace of mind. Highly recommend!"”
“I recently had my Husky stay overnight with Lily and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! My dog was well taken care of, and I received regular updates that reassured me she was comfortable and happy. Lily is friendly, and she made sure my dog felt at home. When I picked her up, she was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their dog!”
“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.”
