“Zariah did a great job watching our girls, including dealing with one's upset belly during the first few days of our weeklong trip. Lots of communication and she stayed at our house for basically the entirety of the time we were away. A+, Zariah!”
“Travis went above and beyond while watching my babies. You can tell that he loves dogs and enjoys watching them. Communicated very well and and sent lots of pictures with his updates. 10/10 experience!”
“Albert has an incredible demeanor and care style with our dogs. We are so grateful for him sticking to their routine and making it his own, working for both him and the dogs. He clearly has things under control and the confidence to leave us feeling so comfortable having him in our home and taking care of our dogs!”
“Jackie is absolutely phenomenal—I cannot recommend her highly enough! My dog lovvvveedddd her and her dog, Coco (which is saying a lot, because my dog usually doesn’t like other dogs). Jackie is incredibly organized and accommodating. I felt completely at ease leaving Roo in her care while we traveled abroad, even with Roo’s medical needs. She sent us daily pictures and was always communicative. We loved her and will 100% be reaching out again in the future!”
“Ashley is so great! She sent so many updates and cute pictures of our girl! Really appreciate her quick responsiveness. On top of it all she cleaned our house and gave Swiff a groom before we came back! What a great way to come home!”
“Bailey took great care of my dog! She sent lots of pictures, was great at communicating with me the whole time she was watching her and also kept me updated on how she was doing especially since my dog just got out of the emergency vet right before I left for my vacation. I would definitely have Bailey watch my dog again and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Johanna for loving on our pups while we were away. The communication was strong the entirety of our trip, and though she didn’t stay the night, she made sure to walk them enough so they were good to go. We look forward to our next booking!”
“Nandini was wonderful, she took good care of our dog, Kulfi. She took him out, petted him and played with him. Kulfi was happy which is very reassuring for us. We would highly recommend Nandini for anyone looking for reliable and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Dani was truly a blessing. She cared for our boys with the same love and attention that we give them. She spent the weekend at the house, she was in constant communication. When we got home, the whole house was spotless, as if nobody even stayed. The pictures that she sent were always of them completely happy and content snuggled next to her. She even managed to capture one of the best pictures we’ve ever had of them. Diesel suffers from anxiety and doesn’t always warm up to people as quickly, so to receive a picture of him laying next to her really gave me comfort. And I was able to enjoy my weekend away without worrying. We will most definitely use her again.”
“Daniele has been a repeat sitter for us because she is the cat whisperer! We always come home to a happy loved up kitty and we can’t ask for any better for him while we’re away.”
“Abigail was amazing! I was so nervous because it was my first time using Rover and one of my dogs has anxiety and can be a handful. But she cared for them the entire weekend and sent pictures and videos! They loved her! Thanks Abigail!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From daily walks and medication routines to overnight stays and puppy training, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means morning walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening drop-ins. As a reliable and organized sitter, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection. I also leave space in my routine for flexibility, so I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests or spend extra time with pets who need a little more love and patience. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s meal portions, medication, litter box or potty breaks, or house routines like bringing in mail or watering plants. I treat each home with professionalism and leave it just as I found it. Most importantly, I prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety, keeping them happy and stress-free until their family returns.

“I have used Naomi several times and I always have such piece of mind that my pups are well taken care of. She really goes out of her way to make sure your dog is comfortable while you are away.”
“Arleatha was excellent with our two dogs and cat during our five day trip. She’s very friendly, professional, and we will definitely book with her again.”

Bryan M.
“Unmatched Dog Sitter – Truly the Best We’ve Ever Had! We had the absolute pleasure of having Bryan care for our dog for 10 days, and without a doubt, he’s the best sitter we’ve ever worked with. From the moment we dropped our pup off, Bryan gave us complete peace of mind—every detail of our dog’s routine was followed with care and consistency. Every day, we received thoughtful updates and sweet photos, allowing us to feel connected even from afar. It was so clear that Bryan treated our dog like family, with patience, kindness, and genuine love. We are beyond thankful for the care Bryan provided. He has set the bar incredibly high, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else moving forward.”

West University pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are new to Houston and this was our very first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous leaving our dog while traveling out of the country. Siyu completely exceeded our expectations! She stayed in our home and cared for our pup as if she were her own. We received regular updates and tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind and made us feel connected while away. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loved her and was so well cared for. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend booking Siyu. She will definitely be our go-to sitter for all future trips!
Paula was amazing!! I was able to book her very last minute for 5 days! She was professional and took such good care of my fur baby. She sent multiple pictures of my dog every day, and kept in frequent contact with me. She respected my house and treated my dog like her own. Don’t hesitate in booking Paula!
Adolfo did an amazing job watching our senior dog, Chloe. He stayed at our house and when we came back the house was clean and our pup was well taken care of. From medication, loves and making sure she got her walks, I felt super great leaving her in his hands. We were in a pinch and needed a short notice sitter- and Adolfo did not disappoint!! We will def book again!
Nandini is great! She took care of my dog, Sirius, for a few days while I was out of town. She was super communicative and sent me updates throughout the day. Not to mention that my dog absolutely loves her! I doubt Sirius even noticed I was gone because she did such a good job caring for him. I returned to a happy and healthy pup - I would recommend Nandini any day!
Aiskel was awesome with our two babies. She watched our dogs for four days over the 4th of July weekend. She sent pictures and videos and updated us on a regular basis. The dogs were well taken care of! We will use Aiskel again and again! I highly recommend her.
Annie was super awesome! She was really communicative and sent me messages and pictures each day to let me know the girls were doing well. As a helicopter mom, this really put me at east so I could enjoy my vacation. I could tell my girls were really happy and comfortable around Annie a they got a lot of cuddles in. The house was also as I had left it. She was very respectful and took great care of my place and the girls. I'd highly recommend Annie and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!
Lidia was great and took excellent care of my 2 dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. I got plenty of updates and communication along the way, and the dogs were happy and healthy upon my return! She was super flexible and jumped in last minute for this booking which is also appreciated. Would definitely love to have her watch them again.
Jessica did such a great job with my dog Xavi. It was my first time leaving Xavi with a sitter and she was just so wonderful. My dog got his needed walks and meals right on schedule and I was sent video and text updates on how he was doing and when he went to the bathroom! I came back home to such a happy pup and Jessica even went the extra mile of bringing Xavi a toy to play with. She went above and beyond for my dog and he really liked her company! I will definitely be booking her again.
Lucie was such an incredible sitter for my cat and provided excellent daily updates to keep me informed. I always miss my cat so much when I leave him but I knew he was being treated so well and the pictures I got were fabulous! Will definitely be using Lucie again. Highly recommend!
