“Sherine did an excellent job as always! In spite of the busy holiday season, she took extra good care of our elderly kitties and took our new kittens and their antics in stride. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, and we are so appreciative! Good communication helped our expectations! Will definitely book with Sherine again!”
“Sara was fantastic! She was responsible, responsive and very prompt with her communication. Both dogs were very comfortable with her - even our picky boy Tucker! We would recommend her and plan on hiring her again.”
“Hannah house sat for me while I was on vacation, and she took great care of my kitty! She made sure to play with him and keep him company, and she sent me photos of him. He loved having her watch him! I definitely recommend Hannah for anyone who needs a cat sitter!”
“Amazing! Did a wonderful job taking care of the dogs. She gave them so much love, play, and care while we were gone. She also kept me up to date sending videos, photos, and a description of the day. Will definitely continue booking with Jasmine!”
“Kaira was a wonderful sitter for my pup! My little guy needed a little extra attention which required dosing multiple pills in the morning and evening, and Kaira took great care to give him everything he needed! My dog also has anxiety, but was quick to warm up to Kaira. She's flexible, checks in often, and sent lots of cute pics!”
“Christy was wonderful with our 12 y.o., blind Bichon Frise/Min. Poodle mix. She went above and beyond to accommodate him. She so obviously loves pets, dogs especially. We were going to have her sit at our apartment and she came over to get acquainted; but we live in a retirement community and we learned, after making the reservation, they have very strict rules about such things. It makes it almost impossible to make arrangements for in home sitters. So, we went to plan B and took him to Christy’s for boarding. She lives not far from us and we will definitely be regulars in the future.”
“Taylor was amazing! I had a previous sitter who canceled on me last minute and Taylor was available to watch my puppy for me with very little notice. My puppy definitely seemed to enjoy her, and I really don’t think she was worried about me not being there. I will definitely, hire Taylor again. Highly recommended.”
About: I have had pets since I was born! I have been taking care of them since I was able to! I love all pets and will care for them like my own! Currently working part time at a gym! I am able to check on your fur babies before and after my shifts! Or anytime day or night or both! I will travel to your home to take your dogs on walks and to go potty!

“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”
“My two girlies absolutely love when Alex comes to take care of them. Alex provides me multiple updates a day (pictures and videos) and quickly asks me for extra advice whenever their normal habits get off track. Alex is my true Go-TO pet sitter and highly recommend her!”
“Karina did an outstanding job caring for our cats and went above and beyond throughout her stay. Even when our air conditioner broke during an intense heat wave, she handled everything with grace and professionalism, and left our home in immaculate condition, we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.”
“Leah did great with our babies! 4 cats and 1 dog is a large ask, so we were very happy to receive updates that everyone was doing well. Leah had great communication, did great with following feeding schedules and provided timely check ins. Will definitely be booking with Leah in the future!”
“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”
“I am SO GLAD I found Ericka. She did such an amazing job watching our little homestead and animals for two weeks. She took care of our dogs, chickens, turtle and cat!! Our home was very well taken care of. And my dogs were so comfortable and happy with her. She sent regular updates and messaged any issues right away. THANK YOU ERICKA!! We are so happy we found you, and hope to book you again!”
“Raven stayed with our leash reactive pup for a few nights and everything went great! She provided regular updates and pics of G, made sure she knew her/her regular habits before the stay, took good care of our house, and was all around a great sitter for our girl! Thanks, Raven!”

About: I have grown up around animals, mainly dogs, all my life. With that experience I have watched and raised dogs from the size of a pit bull mastiff to the size of chihuahuas. I also understand the different needs and amount of care each one comes with. I am up to the task of grooming, walking as many times as requested, following feeding schedules, baths, watching, playing, or any other services you wish (as long as I know how). This job is just as serious to me as any other because you are trusting me with not just a dog but a family member and best friend. Trust that when you leave them with me, they will be in great hands! I currently work part-time for a security guard company. I work 4 days a week and I’m off for the other 3 days. I am more than open to taking care of your pet on my off days! I make sure to keep the area that your pet stays in as safe as possible by removing any hazards and cleaning up as we go!
About: Hi! I’m a Houston-based accounting professional with a flexible schedule outside of work and a genuine love for animals. I’m reliable, organized, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs through overnight stays, daily walks, feedings, litter box cleaning, and administering medications as needed. I regularly look after two cats for a couple who travel often and help care for my parents’ three Aussiedoodles in Katy when they’re away. Friends trust me with their pets when they travel, and I make it a priority to keep each pet’s routine consistent so they feel comfortable and settled at home. I love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are easy for me. I’m especially mindful of hydration and safe walk times in the Texas heat. I’ll treat your home with care, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels loved and well cared for. Happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind! 💖 I work full-time and commute downtown during the week, but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. This gives me flexibility for morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting, as well as more daytime availability at the start and end of the week. I’m dependable about timing and happy to coordinate around your pet’s routine. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respecting your home and your pet’s routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions, keep pets on their normal schedule, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m attentive to each pet’s temperament and energy level, use secure leashing on walks, and double-check doors and gates before leaving. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have always been an animal person, and often received comments on how well I get along with animals of all kinds from horses to dogs and cats. I recently started fostering, and now that I’ve successfully adopted out my foster puppy, I miss going on daily walks with a furry companion! I am currently based in Aspen, meaning I can easily reach places. I am an active person who enjoys walking and running, and you can be sure I will give your pet the exercise and outdoor time they need! I have a puppy proof room (very minimalist with nothing to chew on aside from my door/walls) and I have a large crate if needed.

Hannah was absolutely wonderful to work with. She responding to our questions pre booking promptly. We requested a paid meet and greet and were comfortable with Hannah to come and house sit our dog while we were away. The home was maintained well and our pup enjoyed her company. We are thankful to have found Hannah and will be requesting her again for when our dog cannot travel with us.
Karina did an outstanding job caring for our cats and went above and beyond throughout her stay. Even when our air conditioner broke during an intense heat wave, she handled everything with grace and professionalism, and left our home in immaculate condition, we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter.
Nicole was wonderful with our quirky dog Piper, Piper loved Kismet and was super sad after we got home. We were gone for 16 days and she took such good care of Piper and the house. Was great with updates, I would highly recommend Nicole, she has such a calm demeanor, she was made for this!!
Our 15 year old dog adores Olha. She has stayed with our pack before, and all of our fur babies have loved her. She’s excellent with custom diets, medications, and handing out affection. She came to the house and our dog runs to her with such joy. I can’t say enough great things because she really is that special.
Lillie did a fantastic job sitting for our Remi! Remi is a bit nervous and slow to warm. She warmed up to Lillie quickly and really enjoyed having Lillie stay with her. Remi ate well and got to play a lot of fetch and lots of snuggles! The house looked great when we returned. Lillie is responsible and great with animals.
Tamia was absolutely AMAZING. From the moment we left, she kept us in the loop with consistent updates and communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys were clearly well cared for, comfortable, and loved while we were away, and that says everything. Leaving your pets at home can be stressful, but Tamia made the entire experience feel easy and worry-free. She treated our boys like her own and truly went above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, Tamia is THAT girl. We are DEFENITELY booking her again, and highly recommend her to anyone who wants top-tier pet care.
We can’t recommend Hannah enough—she is truly our go-to Rover! You can tell she really cares about our dogs and takes the time to learn all their little quirks. She was even willing to drop everything she was doing in her own plans to come care for our dogs when we had an incident with another Rover, which meant the world to us. Hannah goes above and beyond every time. She stays the night, takes them on good walks, sends adorable pictures that capture just how happy and comfortable our dogs are with her, and she even left the house in perfect condition—cleaner than we left it! It gives us so much peace of mind to know our dogs are treated as if they were her own when we’re away.
Naomi did such a great job with my 3 dogs. She really takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I have an older dog that gets nervous when we are gone. Naomi really took the time to work with her and form a relationship to keep my dog calm and make her feel comfortable. I felt completely at ease while she was watching the dogs. I highly recommend her!
