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.
“Mariyana is great with my puppy! I know my puppy can be a lot because she’s still so young, but Mariyana never complains and is always eager to take care of her. We’re so grateful for Mariyana!”
“Leslie was wonderful with my old girl! Super friendly, communicative, and clearly knows and loves dogs. She kept me updated with lots of wonderful photos and let me know how my pup was doing.

She sent pictures along with updates and I always felt Mattie was in good hands. Will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her.”
“Alexandra was amazing with my dog Archie! She kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which really put me at ease. She was super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and I could tell she truly cared about making sure Archie was happy and comfortable. Archie had the best time playing and hanging out with her sweet golden, Maple — they got lots of outdoor time, walks, and cuddles! I can tell he was treated like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with Alexandra again — highly recommend! 🐾💛”

Her days were full of fun at the park and yummy homeade treats 🐶 I’m so thankful to LeeAnna for taking such great care of her and will definitely rebook her in the future!! 🐾”
“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!!”

Her drop-in reports with pictures were fun to get and she communicated when she was going to do a drop-in a little late due to bad weather. We would definitely use her again!”
“Kelsey helped me out last minute with my cat Aqua and she exceeded my expectations! Kelsey was very punctual and kind, and I really enjoyed all the pics she took of Aqua while I was out of town! Aqua seemed to be very happy, so I never had a doubt Kelsey wasn’t doing everything I asked in the care instructions. Thank you Kelsey! :)”

“Nandini, you are the best! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tiga. I can tell she was well loved while I was away — she looks fat and happy! 😄 And you even cleaned the litter box better than I do, which is honestly amazing. I really appreciate all the care and attention you gave her. Thank you again! 🐾”
“Daniele was an amazing sitter for my old, cranky, shy kitty! I knew from the very first meet & greet that she was going to be a perfect fit- Poptart walked right up to her and she gave her a boop on the nose! ? Daniele had so much patience and understanding for how to handle her, and made sure to keep me in very close communication while I was away from home. I usually worry so much about leaving my kitty alone for extended periods of time, but having Daniele helped relieve my stress. I knew Poptart was in great care, and we’ll definitely be using her in the future! She even took care of my plants!!”
“Late review! Yuriko took care of my baby for 4 days while I was away and did amazing! I am a nervous cat mom and did set a list of things I know my fur baby would need while I was away and she followed them perfectly. Even though Sage isn’t the most social cat she sent me videos when she could and kept me updated. I appreciate her so much and I 100% would hire her again whenever I am away. She is fantastic!!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She provided detailed updates on how my cats were doing along with good pictures, and made sure they are happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Mikayla took great care of my cats and made sure food and water was available. She made sure to give the cats some love and even helped me with the litter boxes. It gave me the peace of mind while I was out on a trip and will definitely ask for her services again!”

“Tommie and Jeff are absolutely wonderful! They helped Maggie overcome some separation anxiety and she had a great day. I will definitely be bringing her back in the future.”
“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!”
“I’m a first time dog owner and I was beyond impressed with Chelsie with our 6 month old puppy. She would send pictures and kept us updated. She was even willing to come pick up our puppy instead of us having to meet her at her place once. We will continue to use Chelsie in the future.”
“As a psychiatrist and devoted dog dad to two Nederlandse Kooikerhondjes—a relatively rare breed—finding someone qualified and experienced enough to care for my dogs while I was away at a medical conference was not something I took lightly. My dogs are my absolute world and their unique needs and high energy levels require someone who is truly attentive, active, and dedicated. Mandy exceeded every expectation I had. My pups stayed with her and she maintained their routines flawlessly. She kept up with their high energy demands without missing a beat. The abundance of photos and updates she sent throughout the week were so reassuring—I could clearly see my girls were happy, well exercised, and completely at ease in her care. The long walks she took them on daily were exactly what they needed and I could tell they absolutely loved every minute with her. As someone who professionally understands the importance of trust and reliability, I can say with complete confidence that Mandy embodies both. If you are looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs with the same love and dedication you would, she is simply the best. We will absolutely be booking with Mandy again without hesitation!" — Dr. Khan | Psychiatrist & Proud Dad to Two Nederlandse Kooikerhondjes 🐾❤️”
“Steven is the best doggie daycare on the Rover. He is caring, responsive, attentive and understanding. He took special care of my Yorkie and sent me pictures Parson during the day. I can’t wait to use him again and I’ve already referred him to my friends.”
“Burak was so fantastic with my dog! He was a wonderful communicator and sent plenty of photos and updates. He administered my dog’s medicine and went above and beyond to care my dog.”
“Chant was very friendly and had a few other dogs staying at her place the day my doggo stayed with her. They had a great time together and it was nice to get some photo updates that Chant sent during the day. Communication was great!”
About: Do you want to be absolutely worry free when it comes to your pets being well cared for while you are on a business trip or vacation? As your pet sitter I see my job as two parts. 1. Care for you pet(s), 2. Communicating with you such that you are worry free. I LOVE PETS and just so happen to be a Massage Therapist and Reiki Master so your babies get extra great pets, love and attention from a Healer! The majority of my private clients thus far are people who have more than one pet and economically boarding them is very expensive and/or they straight up don't like the idea of boarding their pets. (I have private clients that I am happy to provide as references for anyone who is serious about hiring me.) I'm self employed and semi retired so I have some flexibility to work with the right match! I love regular clients on my schedule but also available for one off's when my calander will allow... I pet sit based on having pets and raising children of my own. I have a high level of awareness to your animals needs and am always happy to make sure your home is secure and taken care of. It is never to much to request I bring in mail or packages or handle small things that may come up for you.
“Jennifer was awesome! She kept me updated by sending me super cute pics throughout the day! Buddy came home happy every time and I could tell he was comfortable with her. She was very kind and loving to Buddy. I would highly recommend her for any of her services offered.”
“She did great with my dog Ace. She is super nice and professional. I work long 12hr shifts and she was very flexible and accommodating with my pick up and drop off schedule. Would deff book again!”
“Brooke is incredibly nice and quick in her communication. Really appreciated that she was able to work with us last minute and sent us pics of our dog happily hanging out at her home. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Filipa is amazing with Tabasco. I’ve had her take him walking, she’s pick him up and brought him home for day care stays. I always get loads of pictures and updates too. She is very safety conscious and cares so well for my baby when he is in her care. I just can’t think of anyone better equipped and prepared.”
“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”
“My dog Ace is excited to visit. Great communication while my dog is in her care with pictures, messages, and videos. She was flexible with my pick up time when my schedule changed.”
“Lily loved Adrian right away 🥰 Adrian was very easy going and cordial. His time and service gave our visit to MD Anderson some relief knowing Lily was being well taken care of.”

About: Hi, pet parents! My name is Heather, and my goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm currently building pet sitting into my full-time career because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I've grown up with all kinds of animals my entire life—from cats to dogs, to rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish, and even turtles. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities, and I have a special place in my heart for those with special medical needs. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had was raising my own cat with wobbly cat syndrome from less than two weeks old and helping him learn to walk. I’ve also cared for a diabetic cat who required daily insulin injections, a cat who suffered from seizures, and another cat with asthma who receives inhaler treatments. So I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following medical routines carefully. I'm certified in Animal First Aid and Fear Free pet care. These certifications have taught me how to recognize signs of stress, respond appropriately in emergencies, and provide calm, low-stress handling that helps pets feel secure while their families are away. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or has special medical needs, I tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I pay close attention to details, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is for your pet to feel as comfortable as possible and for you to have complete peace of mind! During every booking, you can expect clear communication, regular photo updates, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I believe every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect, and I look forward to treating your furry family members as if they were my own. I am planning to build pet sitting as a full-time business, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week. I am generally available during morning, afternoon, and evening care windows. This helps ensure I can provide consistent care while maintaining a reliable routine for each pet. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize maintaining a stable schedule once bookings are confirmed. I’m also happy to discuss specific timing needs to make sure your pet receives care at the times they are most comfortable with. **House Sitting Includes:** • Overnight care in your home from 4:30pm-8:30am • Feeding and fresh water • Walks and playtime (if requested) • Medication administration • Litter box cleaning • Plenty of affection, enrichment, and companionship • Photo and message updates 2x daily (AM and PM) • Basic home care, including bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy **Drop-In Visits Include:** • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks or litter box cleaning • Playtime and companionship • Medication administration if needed • Photo and visit updates with each visit
“Bailee has been wonderful to my two senior dogs! She is professional, kind, and very communicative about my pets. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my boys are in such good hands. I 100% recommend Bailee to anyone looking for experienced, reliable, and compassionate pet care!”
“Kendall is very responsive and reliable. She's a "dog person" which was immediately obvious from the moment she met Remington! Now, Remington enjoys his walks with her, and we appreciate the periodic photos!”
About: Proud dog mom to 2 sweet girls, from pushing my chihuahua in a stroller to hiking with my Aussie. I value what pets bring to our lives and I strive to give them the most fulfilling life. Let me help do the same with yours :) I’m working part time at the moment and have a very flexible schedule so my availability to take your fur babies for long walks is quite open! Your pet’s safety will always be my #1 priority. By paying attention to your pet’s body language I will be able to gauge their comfort level and move forward accordingly.

“Anna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.”
“deandra has a great vibe and immediately made me feel relaxed immediately with her taking care of my pups. she followed my instructions to a tee and my pups seemed to really enjoy her!”
“We book with Dani every time we need someone because she is the best at communicating and telling me any important details. This time I was gone for a trip over 4 days and I felt very calm knowing my dog was well taken care of by Dani!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from farm animals and barn cats to household pets. I’m trusted by family and friends to pet sit dogs, cats, and birds, and I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and consistent with their routines. I also have experience as a veterinary assistant/technician, with skills in animal handling, basic medical care, and recognizing signs of illness—so you can feel confident your pet is in knowledgeable, attentive hands. I just moved across the country, and I am fully free to take care of your pets until I find a job in the veterinary care industry. I have excellent time management skills, and I am willing to work with your pet's schedules and needs and adjust my own plans as needed. I am willing to adapt to you and your pet's routine and needs to keep them happy and relaxed during the duration of the sitting.
“Thank you Timothy! We hired him last minute for dog-walking our little senior doggo and he was kind enough to take on the task! We were even a little late one day to have her ready for him and he waited on us.”
“Mary stayed overnight at our home with our pup for two nights. She was fantastic with Selina, who can be a little aloof with new sitters. Selina seemed happy when we came home, and obviously was given lots of attention. The home was also in great condition. We can’t wait to book with Mary again!”
“I don’t trust just anyone with my dog, she’s a rescue with a history of abuse and she’s sensitive. Olivia made Piper feel like they were best friends and piper was always happy to have Olivia come over and spend time with her. Olivia always made sure to send lots of updates and pictures and tidied up any messes Piper made. Olivia is truly the best and any dog would be lucky to have her walk them or check in on them”

Even if you’re not necessarily in the area, you won’t regret booking with Erica.”
