“Melissa was great ! She offered a meet and greet prior to Nova coming to stay with her which allowed Nova to meet her and get acquainted with where she would be staying ! Melissa provided great communication and sent multiple photos and videos of Nova throughout the day. She kept my mind at ease regarding Nova while I was out of town . Would 10000% recommend as she was great and provided a spacious house and yard for Nova to play and roam!”

“I read so many reviews before I chose Christy to take care of my 10 week old puppy. I was so nervous to leave him with just anyone especially given that he’s a work in progress being potty trained. I wanted to be sure I found someone with the experience to care and love on my pup while I was away. Christy did not disappoint! I got so many updates and pictures while she was caring for him. I highly recommend her and would definitely choose her to keep my fur baby again!”

“I'm very happy with the dog sitting service provided by Brenda. She did an amazing job looking after my Itsy Bitsy. Her home includes a front yard, which allowed my dog to enjoy the outdoors safely. She has a genuine love for animals and treated my dog as if it were her own. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter."”

“Stephanie was amazing with our German Shepard. We will definitely be using her again. Loved getting updates and pictures as well as a meet and greet to make sure she was a good fit.”

“I can see no way that my dog Pennys stay with Patricia C. could have been any better. She is a very kind lady and took excellent care of my dog and I will definatley leave Penny with her again.”

“FANTASTIC!!!!! Our boy came home happy, healthy, and exhausted!!! What more could you ask for?! We are new to Houston and needed someone to board our boy Groot for 8 days while we finished a cross country move. Megan and her family took him in as one of their own, and thanks to them, Groot now has a larger social circle here in Texas than we do! We had never been apart from our puppy and needless to say I was very anxious, Megan sent daily updates and photos, which helped me feel great about how Groot was doing. While he was there he got to socialize with a variety of dogs in all sizes and breeds, kids for him to play with, and a large yard to run off that puppy energy! Could not have asked for more!!! Big BIG thank you!!!”


“Kimberly was great! She was communicative from the get go and flexible when a mishap on our trip and caused some delays. Hank enjoyed his stay very much, and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Lindsay was awesome. She was able to provide coverage on wildly short notice and Gus was a huge fan. Lindsay’s consistent updates (and pictures) let me know that Gus was enjoying himself, which made it easier for me to enjoy myself. 10/10 would recommend”

“Shelby was so awesome with our cat Shiloh! She is a great communicator and easy to get a hold of when you need her. She was great at providing updates on how our kitty was doing while we were away!”

“This is our first time using rover and it was an amazing experience we got multiple updates and it seems like our pup really enjoyed the experience which is great because hes normally a bit shy with strangers at first. We are a little worried he won't want to come home! A 10/10 first experience thanks to Jeanna!”

“My dog had a great time with Melissa! She sent plenty of updates, pick up and drop off was a breeze. I only needed doggy day care this time, but I would definitely book Melissa again”

“I will definitely be calling Patricia again! As a first time Rover user, she was really great. She ended up being within walking distance from our home. Love the pictures she sent to let me know how our Queenie was doing. She took her on walks and was very understanding of Queenie's preferences.”

“Brenda was willing to care for Sparky on short notice, for which we were extremely grateful. Her home is very pet friendly and it’s obvious how much she loves animals. Sparky had a wonderful time! We will definitely have Brenda care for Sparky the next time we are in the area.”

About: I make sure they’re taken care of properly just like the owner wants. I’m all around an animal lover. I enjoy the walks, playing, and bonding. Availability is whenever. I love teaching dogs tricks! I like setting goals for myself and animals. I like making them feel loved. Giving them the attention and care that they need. I will do anything for anyone. I love helping others. If your animal needs special care then that’s what they will get. I will give them the best care that you ask for. I have a year old puppy that loves attention. He would love a playmate as well. We have had him since he was a month old and he’s been potty trained since about 2 weeks after we had picked him up.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience 🐾 I treat every pet like family, with loving, reliable care tailored to their needs. I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments and provide a safe, structured, and calm environment. I have one dog, and my mom has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover dogs are always kept separate from our personal pets. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so visiting pets should be comfortable around children. We have a secure fenced yard, pet-friendly spaces, and plenty of attention to give. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just a comfy place to stay—I’ve got them covered. ❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home and available throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship. I work lovallu doing deliveries. During the day, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, day care, and boarding supervision. My home has a secure fenced yard for easy potty breaks and safe play, and I only have one dog of my own—who stays separate from Rover pets. I also have a young grandchild in the home, so I maintain a structured, safety-focused environment. Your pet will be in good hands, with care that’s consistent, personalized, and reliable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries and lots of love. Pets in my care have their own designated space and are always supervised during play, feeding, and downtime. I have one dog of my own. Rover pets are always kept separate from our personal pets to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, safe stay. There’s a securely fenced yard for outdoor time, and the indoor space is pet-friendly, clean, and cozy. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so pets should be comfortable around children—but rest assured, interactions are always closely monitored for safety. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. You can trust that they’ll be loved, well-cared for, and treated like one of the family—because that’s what they deserve. ❤️
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little kid. Walking and dog sitting has been a big thing in my life. I’m currently working part-time,but have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I’m available almost all the time and will always make time for you pup. I am good a tending to your pups routine. I will stick to your dogs daily routine. I have experience in giving medication if needed.

About: I knew from a young age that taking care of animals was what I wanted to do. I started out walking dogs and I then started as a dog bather. I then started training to groom dogs and cats. I also worked at Camp Critter Creek and took care of the dogs and cats and sometimes bunnies that were boarding there.I have volunteered to walk dogs at the Animal Shelter. I can honestly say that animals feel safe around me which I attribute to them sensing my love for animals. I have a German Shepherd of my own that my family and I rescued. We also have a GSP and our little sweetheart cat Vivie. Animals bring me joy to see them happy and healthy. I am available between the hours of 1 PM midnight Monday and Friday, I am also available all day on weekends. Those hours are adjustable if needed. I prefer taking care of your pets in your home since I have two dogs and a cat at my house. I would not want your pet to feel uncomfortable. And a lot of pets prefer their own home where they feel safe and are used to their routine
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life; for family, friends, and neighbors. Ensuring the proper care and affection is given. I love being around animals, so dog walking and pet sitting has always brought me joy! I will have plenty of time to give your dog the care and affection they need. If its walking or sitting I can give your pups the ultimate doggy day! I walk my dogs on a daily basis and even take them for trail walks giving them lots of adventure time. I can take your pups on adventures of their own!
“On time to the minute. So patient with my very confused dog (she’s never been walked by anyone else but me). Would recommend highly and I’m a nut about who I trust my dog with”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have been dog sitting for friends and family for most of it. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality (and all their weird little quirks!). I also have quite a bit of hands-on experience beyond my own pets. From 2013–2015, I worked at the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), where I helped provide formal dog training classes and gained experience with dog behavior and positive training techniques. Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dogs through New River Animal Rescue — everything from puppies to sweet seniors and dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently have a 6-year-old rescue mutt of my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, reinforcing training and routines, or giving a more timid pup some extra patience. Mostly, I just want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and at home while their person is away. ❤️ I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks and company throughout the day. I work from home, which means dogs in my care get plenty of supervision, attention and outdoor breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow whatever routines, feeding schedules, crate routines or house rules your dog is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
