Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sunny Side
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Sunny Side
“I could not be happier with Elezha’s care of our Khloe. She kept me informed of her daily activities and sent pictures each day. Khloe was extremely well taken care of and was right at home when I picked her up. Elezha definitely cares and it shows! I will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need services again. It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!”
“Amy and Chelsea were amazing very accommodating. I had to book last minute and I had to book an extra day and they were available very quick to respond she sent me lots of pictures of my baby and he had a really great time I would definitely book again when I visit Houston”
“Erica did a wonderful job dog sitting my fur baby. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while in her care. I appreciated her regular updates and the genuine affection she showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Erica with my fur baby again. Highly recommended!”
“Kayla has been wonderful. I mistakenly shorted my booking by one day and Kayla accommodated me even tho she didn't have to. I really appreciate Kayla being so genuine and intentional! Peyton has earned allergies and she made sure he got his ear drops daily. He came home with no more itchy red ears! PeytonPooch had a wonderful time.”
“Shu was amazing with our cat, she took such good care and he really enjoyed the time spent with her. She went way above and beyond, keeping us informed and even checking if he had fleas and applying the treatment. Thank you so much and for sure will come back next time we need a cat sitter!”
“This was my first time using Leslie and she was beyond fantastic! She really took the time to understand each of my dogs needs and took great care of them both. She sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell they both felt comfortable and right at home. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was gone was a huge relief and Poptart and Wally would be so excited to go back!”
“Danielle is truly a gift! I was hesitant on using Rover and a “stranger”, she agreed to meet prior to boarding so he could get used to her and her space. He was greeted by name and Brodie ran up to her as if he knew her! He probably thinks she is a cousin lol. But he was felt right at home and that gave me the peace of mind while I was away. I am traveling more for work and so it’s nice to know I have someone to count on to give him attention and love he deserves. Super grateful!! :’)”
“Elena was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie. She was very attentive to our dog's needs and communicated to us throughout each day with updates. We definitely will use her services again! Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly is fantastic! Super communicative, nice, knowledgeable and best of all has your pets best health and experience in mind. I’ve used her twice now and this last time was for an entire month. She sent pictures along with updates and I always felt Mattie was in good hands. Will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her.”
“Silvia and Jose were perfect surrogate pet parents for my Abby. Not only did they send frequent updates and photos showing Abby at play and rest and enjoying walks with the family, but they went out of their way to make Abby comfortable in their home, even adjusting her sleep environment for her comfort. I highly recommend Silvia and Jose for loving pet care.”
“Karlie was sooooo sweet for my Rocco during a weekend stay. Super friendly and updated us throughout the weekend with pics. To say he might’ve been spoiled would’ve been an understatement! Even with all the instructions I left, she was A+ — highly recommend!”
“Helen was hands down the best Rover sitter I could have asked for! She cared for my Pooh for a week while I was on vacation, and I never once had to worry. She kept me updated with pictures and messages every day, so I always knew he was happy, loved, and having a great time. When she dropped him off, she surprised us with the sweetest goodie bag that included a picture of Pooh and a new toy. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and showed how much she truly cares. It's rare to find someone who loves your dog like their own, but that's exactly what Helen did. Pooh felt right at home with her, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I can't recommend her enough, and she'll be my first choice every time!”
“We had a great first experience with Rover and so glad we were able to book with Zoraya. She accepted our last minute request within minutes and stayed in contact with us the whole time. We received pictures, a video and text updates. Our sweet, old Sandy girl did better than I expected and I believe it was because she was in the best of care. I will definitely use Ms. Zoraya again if we ever need another caretaker for Sandy while we are in the Houstin area.”
“Zariah really cared for my dog and sent me daily updates. He took a little while to get adjusted and she made him comfortable which was important to me. She also let me know when he messed up (bathroom on her floor) but she was really sweet about it and still took care of him. He was sad to go so that’s always a good sign!”
“Victoria was great with our senior dog- very attentive and not only followed care directions perfectly, but she and her family were very loving with him. She updated me frequently and he was in great condition when I picked him up. Her communication was also prompt and she was very organized. Will book again.”
“My boy loves it at Jocelyn’s! We are a repeat customer because she is great. Very accommodating to last minute requests and goes above and beyond. Thanks Jocelyn, from Cody and mom!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life! Since I was a kid, we’ve always had dogs in the house, and as I grew older, I became the primary care taker of my dogs back home in Texas. I’m good at following complex regimens, from training details, feeding schedules, and medication administration! I’m am very flexible and comfortable around all dogs. I especially love larger pups. I have just graduated undergrad, so my availability has definitely freed up recently! I am available early mornings during the weekdays and most afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. To me, caring for pets also means giving them all the necessary attention! I love interacting with them at home with gentle play. Outside, I love to take my dogs to a park and let them run around and get their exercise. My dogs love to fetch, so I can’t forget to take a ball with me on our walks! I am always watching for the time, making sure that they are eating and pottying on schedule! My ultimate goal is to ensure that a pet is completely comfortable and safe, whether that means running around with them or taking a very calm walk!!
“Baysia was amazing! Mooch is normally shy of strangers at first but he was all over her begging for pets and playing. I’m so grateful that my furry son was well cared for while I’m away.”
“Joe is very reliable and thoughtful and above all he’s been super loving with my sweet cat Roz both times he watched her when i was out of town for long periods. I’m moving out of state soon, otherwise he’d be my forever cat sitter.”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat Bailey while I was away on a work trip. She was so easy to schedule and communicate with the whole time while I was gone. Getting pictures and updates also helped give me peace of mind and knowing that all Baileys needs were being met. Thank you Brittany for making this such a great experience!”
“Shrav was AMAZING with my cat Mephi. She was extremely detail oriented and worked hard to make sure she got any specific care instructions correctly. She definitely went above board and cleaned up and did other tasks for mephi’s and my home’s care that I was not expecting at all. I came home to a very happy and healthy kitty and clean home and never worried about my cat while I was away. Would definitely recommend booking with Shrav!!!”
“Stephanie took great care of my cats during a recent trip! I appreciated her looking into their profiles before we even met, asking questions when needed, and figuring out a different way to medicate one of the kitties when he gave her a hard time at first. Timely drop-ins and cute photos also helped! My partner and I came home to the apartment looking exactly like we’d left it and chill, well-cared-for kitties who’d been lacking nothing but their humans.”
“Did a great job with my cat even though she is very scared of strangers, especially appreciate that Randi cleaned up any messes and fed the stray cats outside like we usually do :)”
“This was my first time ever hiring a pet sitter and Joshua absolutely exceeded all my expectations. He was thorough and prompt and always let me know what was going on with Nelson. I had high anxieties and he eased them tremendously. I cannot recommend Joshua enough! Dude is wonderful at this.”
“Darren was absolutely wonderful! He’s a fun person and great with our fur babies! He’s attentive, considerate, detail oriented, and someone we now trust to rely on for checking on our cats while away.”

“Julia has always been available even at the last minute. She communicates effectively and sends pictures of Preslee throughout her stay. Definitely would use her again and again!”
“Chloe spent a whole week with Jocelyn and then we sent her for daycare for a few more days. I never ever worried about Chloe as she is so happy with Jocelyn and the puppy friends she has made there. Jocelyn engages with the puppies and walks them and genuinely loves them, it’s easy to tell as they are snuggling with her a lot (many pictures she sends me!). Wouldn’t leave Chloe anywhere else!”

They sent pictures and a video so i knew she was comfortable and settled in well. They accommodated her troubles with other dogs, had no issues taking her out and even kept up with her feeding schedule! I was nervous to trust anyone with her breed and her boundaries, but they have absolutely changed my mind! They are truly so caring and understanding of what a dog truly needs to feel safe and be happy. Words cannot express how grateful i am for them. Definitely will be letting my fur baby stay with them again the next trip we take here!”
About: I had a dog growing up. When I got older, I adopted a dog, about 8 years ago from a high kill shelter. She is potty trained and semi trained and strong willed. She understands simple command but listens when she feels like it. I love her. She is definately the best dog I have ever I had so far. I like dogs. I was able to successfully house break my current dog in a week. I adopted her when she was roughly eight months old. The shelter was not sure how old she was. She's spoiled. Hahaha. She my dog and I love her. I will love your dog like my dog. If you have any question regarding dog sitting, or dog walking, please feel free to ask. I work during the day and enjoy running for fun. I have a chuck it to keep my dog and your dog entertained. Personal preference, if you want to see inside my apt, bedroom, and closet, maybe another sitter will be better suited for you. Schedule is to wake up, then take the dog on walks around the neighborhood or memorial park, food, then water, then outside to relieve themselves. Then I get ready to start my day. Normally, I wake up, then take the dog on walks around the neighborhood or memorial park, then give them food, then water, then outside to relieve themselves.

About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring pet lover with experience caring for my own dog and helping with pets belonging to family and friends. I enjoy walking, feeding, playing with, and giving pets plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions. I will treat your pet with love, keep them safe, and send regular photo updates during every visit.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family.

Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I went to school to be a veterinarian so it is something I truly love.💕 I also have a car, so I’m flexible and able to travel, and I’m great with following specific care instructions and routines.

“Calli will be my go to for day care needs! I have a crazy work schedule and was in need of some rest and her services provided just that. She is well versed in pup behaviors and trainings. We did a meet and greet with my puppy Bianca and her 3 pups…I left with a sense of trust and surety that Bianca would be in great hands. She gave me a lot of knowledge on poodles and some great training tips as well. Her pups welcomed Bianca with open paws. They are the cutest. She provided lots of pictures and videos and it was evident, Bianca had a blast! A big thank you!!”

About: My animal care experience and goals are grounded in the black feminist belief that the wellbeing of all beings and the Earth are intrinsically linked. I practice this value of care by taking time with animals and plants of all variety since I was a child. As a kid growing up in Louisiana, I gave care to a turtle, bird, dog, fish, and crawfish! As an adult, I’ve supported my friends in caregiving for their cats and well as co-loving the cat who takes care of our property- Granny Smith Kiwi. I have completely open availability other than a summer trip from July 27 to August 3. I am mobile and can care for your babies on site or bring them other for boarding in my plant-filled home. I create a safe and trusted environment for your fur and reptilian babies by developing a deep understanding an asking thorough questions about their routine. I hope to be a continuation of the love and care that you offer them.
About: I have fostered dogs and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people who need support with their furry sidekick while they are away. I am a pet parent myself to an anxious rescue puppy, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animal. I have experience with reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and all kinds of rescue backgrounds. I have also had cats, so I am familiar with every temperament and never take anything personally. I previously cared for a senior dog who needed daily medication, so I am comfortable and experienced giving medications to both cats and dogs. I have fostered puppies and adult dogs as well, so I can easily handle any medication or special requests. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I’m currently a doctoral student and do most work from home so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am available everyday of the week and open schedule for timing. I do not have a backyard, however I live next to Midtown park that has a dog park that very few dogs attend and so your furry friend will have many opportunities to run around! I do have one anxious dog that will be kept away from your pet if needed. However, your pet will have access to the 2 bedroom apartment and their own room to sleep in.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even reptiles, I’ve had the joy of looking after all kinds of pets. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep love and understanding of their unique needs and personalities. I have extensive experience caring for sickly dogs, ensuring they receive the attention, medication, and gentle care they need. Additionally, I’ve spent several years volunteering at a dog shelter, working with a variety of dogs, including those with special needs, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply some extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion, and I truly look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly!) family members! I have a highly flexible schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. I spend a lot of time outdoors and frequently visit local parks—perfect for pets who love fresh air and adventure! I’m available throughout the week and weekends for pet sitting, and I can host for multiple days if needed. Plus, I have a backyard space for extra playtime and fresh air. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m here to provide a safe, loving environment for your pet! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I treat pets as if they were my own—providing consistent care, regular feeding, timely potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep open communication with owners, offering updates as needed for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I strictly follow the owner’s instructions to maintain their routine and ensure their comfort. I respect the space, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment where pets feel right at home!
About: I'm a dog lover! I had the most precious rescue (Papillion/Pomeranian named Sasha) growing up and by the time I finished undergrad, she had her wings. I love to spend time with my relatives’ dogs that include a Boston Terrier, Boxer, and an American Staff. If your dog has personality, likes to cuddle, or is sheer entertainment, I'm your sitter! My home is their world! Belly-rubs, playtime, and walks by the lake are non-negotiable! LOL! I work from home 3 days a week. Water is made accessible in two areas (where there food is and in my bedroom where they will sleep). Meals are provided per the instructions of the owner. Dogs are walked around the property 3-4 times a day: morning upon waking, afternoon, evening, and right before bed if needed. Dogs are allowed on the couch and couch covers are washed between stays. They are often washed during stays for dogs that shed heavily. Dogs are walked during potty breaks and I prefer harnesses over collars. The property has squirrels and several ducks, and harnesses offer better stability and control and remove the risk of throat pressure or choking from the leash. I have food and water bowls, and doggy beds.
“Brittany was amazing and so easy to work with. She made my first long trip away form my pup so much easier. She was great with my Katie and sent photos of their daily walks. I would book again with her!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets on and off for a while and absolutely love how each one has their own personality and traits! I can’t wait to meet more sweeties. I stay in Houston most of the year and have work majority of the day Fri-Sat but my availability is pretty flexible. Since I have pretty open availability just ask if a day/time works and I’m sure I can make it happen! I always try my best to make your pets feel comfortable while I’m in your home. After all it’s their comfort place not mine. I’ll always be ready with treats and pets :)
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner and animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was five years old. Animals have always been part of my family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every pet I work with. I currently care for a senior dog, which has given me hands‑on experience with medication routines, mobility awareness, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand how important consistency and gentle care are especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I’m home most of the time, so your pet will not be left unattended and will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and love throughout the day.

Whether it’s spontaneous playtime, an extra walk around the block, or just some couch cuddle time, I’m always here for it. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the household. My own pets help set a calm, welcoming tone, so most dogs settle in quickly and comfortably. A typical day includes: • Morning and evening walks • Midday play and enrichment time • Plenty of rest in a cozy, pet-friendly space • Regular feeding on your dog’s normal schedule • Daily photo and update messages to you

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.

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.

I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, making sure pets are secure, hydrated, and never put in unsafe situations. I also keep spaces clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. (exactly what I would want for my own pet!) I believe communication is important, so I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in the best hands!
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.
“Paola is an incredible dog sitter! She took my pup to walk around the park daily and Draco had a great time! She had excellent communication skills, always made sure Draco was fed and had water, and sent me daily pics of their time together. I highly recommend Paola for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I'm a very cherry and attentive person, despite being young I take the care of your furry friends very seriously and hope to put a smile on both you and the one who are special to you I'm a freelance worker, and communication is a strong principle to me, do best with appointments that are a week in advance but I can also work on emergencies for next day or same day situations. It's all a matter on my availability. I can do light cleaning, repairs and help train your animal friends if youd like, of course make sure that their health happy and active when your away.
About: I’ve cared for companion, sport, and service dogs for most of my life. I’m currently raising my fourth dog, a beautiful German Shepherd named Pancake. She behaves politely in busy coffee shops, streets, and crowds. I love that I can take her anywhere with me without worrying how she’ll react to unfamiliar dogs and people—she loves just about anyone! Getting Pancake from a rambunctious eight-week-old puppy to the well-mannered adult she is now took tremendous effort. Just like you, I know first-hand how much time, energy, and care it takes to raise our pets. Rest assured, I will care for your family as I care for mine. I work my main job from home and set my own schedule, so I can fit a wide range of times. Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any scheduling details. One thing worth knowing up front: I never rush a visit. If your dog needs a few extra minutes, those are on me at no extra charge, and I give every client the same courtesy. Because a visit now and then runs long, I keep some flexibility around start times. I always aim for your booked time, but please allow up to 30 minutes on either side. For a 2:00 PM booking, that means I may arrive anytime between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM. Your pet’s safety and well-being always comes first. They’ll have my full attention the whole time we’re together. I’m constantly reading their mood, behavior, and surroundings, so I can catch anything that seems off early and keep them comfortable and happy.
“Absolutely amazing! We have had to use Markierra twice already as a last minute dog walker since my partner and I both got caught up at work. She house sat for us a while back so our dog already loves her! She was willing to work with us last minute and our dog was so excited to see her. She sent updates on the walk, and you could tell Skylar was excited she got to spend time with her today 😊”

“Erica did a wonderful job dog sitting my fur baby. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while in her care. I appreciated her regular updates and the genuine affection she showed. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Erica with my fur baby again. Highly recommended!”
“Kayla has been wonderful. I mistakenly shorted my booking by one day and Kayla accommodated me even tho she didn't have to. I really appreciate Kayla being so genuine and intentional! Peyton has earned allergies and she made sure he got his ear drops daily. He came home with no more itchy red ears! PeytonPooch had a wonderful time.”
“Shu was amazing with our cat, she took such good care and he really enjoyed the time spent with her. She went way above and beyond, keeping us informed and even checking if he had fleas and applying the treatment. Thank you so much and for sure will come back next time we need a cat sitter!”
“This was my first time using Leslie and she was beyond fantastic! She really took the time to understand each of my dogs needs and took great care of them both. She sent lots of photos and updates and I could tell they both felt comfortable and right at home. Knowing they were well taken care of while I was gone was a huge relief and Poptart and Wally would be so excited to go back!”
“Danielle is truly a gift! I was hesitant on using Rover and a “stranger”, she agreed to meet prior to boarding so he could get used to her and her space. He was greeted by name and Brodie ran up to her as if he knew her! He probably thinks she is a cousin lol. But he was felt right at home and that gave me the peace of mind while I was away. I am traveling more for work and so it’s nice to know I have someone to count on to give him attention and love he deserves. Super grateful!! :’)”
“Zariah really cared for my dog and sent me daily updates. He took a little while to get adjusted and she made him comfortable which was important to me. She also let me know when he messed up (bathroom on her floor) but she was really sweet about it and still took care of him. He was sad to go so that’s always a good sign!”
“Victoria was great with our senior dog- very attentive and not only followed care directions perfectly, but she and her family were very loving with him. She updated me frequently and he was in great condition when I picked him up. Her communication was also prompt and she was very organized. Will book again.”
“Great experience! Jocelyn was communicative, sent photo updates, and took excellent care of my kitten while I was away. Thurman came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and would gladly book with her again.”
“My dog had the best time of his little puppy life here with Kathryn! He ate, slept, and played his little heart out!! ❤️ We will definitely be using Katherine again very soon!! Thank you so very much, Kathryn, you're the BEST!!”
“Camilo is a really caring person. He's patient and understanding. He was very calm in his response when Calli had an accident in the house. A great communicator and trustworthy.”
“Rhianna took great care of Ruger (my Rottweiler) and kept me informed the whole time. I also got lots of cute pictures the whole time, and a report card as a bonus which was cute.”
“Kimberly is the best!!!!!!! This is my second time leaving my GSD with her, the first time was for 2 days and this time it was 5 days! She sent me daily pictures so I would know what my pup was up to and she has a dog of her own who was able to keep him company! She is so attentive and gentle with my pup, I would definitely recommend her to anyone new to rover! I’m so happy my dog has a home away from home❤️”
“Ximena gave me a positive outlook on the booking. This was the first time using a service like this but she made effort to communicate and showed a genuine care for Milo. That put us at ease to know he was in good hands with someone who treated him like her own. Highly recommend her if you want your dog to be loved properly.”
“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter and his wife! They cared for our puppy for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was our pup’s first time away from home, and he was definitely out of his element. But they were so patient and kind, taking the time to help him adjust and feel comfortable in a new environment. They also kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch. I highly recommend their services — 10/10!”
“Emi was great! She communicated quickly and frequently. She sent so many pictures and I could tell my dog was comfortable and happy! I will definitely use Emi again, I recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She will love your pup like they are hers!”
“We really appreciated Estephania's openness for a last minute boarding! We got photos / videos for updates and was patient with our timid girl. Thank you for caring for Lexi! She came back very happy!”
“I highly recommend Remy! Remy is so great with our fur baby Lily that has very bad separation anxiety. Remy treats Lily as if she was her own fur baby. Remy constantly kept us updated on our fur baby with messages, photos, and videos which I loved. Remy and her pups are absolutely amazing. I am so great full that we found someone like Remy someone who is great with dogs, understanding, kind and patient. Know other sitter was willing to accept our fur baby until we found Remy so book her NOW!!!”
