“Julie did an amazing job. I am a new rover customer and my experience with Julie was incredible. She took time to let us know of our expectations with her service. My dog Samantha was well taken care of and I received daily updates and pictures. Definitely recommend Julie and will use her in future services. House was well taken care of as well. A+++”
“Kira was a fantastic house guest and dog sitter for my cat and dog. My dog is extremely shy with new people and Kira took the time to get Mia to warm up to her. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Sylena was great with Zero! We booked her to stay the whole day with our pup, she was very punctual and communicative throughout the day. Sent us photos and videos and Zero seemed to have a great day with her. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Ariel was so kind and attentive with our dog! She’s older, blind, and needs extra patience, so we’re always a little nervous leaving her, especially since boarding at camp hasn’t been a great experience. She was recommended by our vet (and works there), which gave us so much confidence, and she absolutely lived up to it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was comfortable at home and cared for by someone who is truly compassionate about animals. We came home to a happy old lady and are so grateful. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Ana was so amazing with my babes !!!! She was totally attentive and loving, and kept me updated each day. Totally appreciate her and will most certainly reach out to her next time I need to leave town 😊 Highly recommended !!!!”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter! She was so communicative, sent tons of photos and absolutely loved on our boys like they were her own. She took them on walks and played with them inside/outside. And I definitely trusted her in our home. We will 100% be booking with Stephanie in the future if she is available!”
About: I’m extremely experienced with all breeds due to my father breeding cane corsos and American bull dogs. Since I’ve relocated to Houston I have 2 dogs and my daughter loves all animals so this will give her the bonding time to play and gives you your time away as well. I am always home. So they won’t miss out on any attention, I am a full time student (online) so it really gives me the freedom to pet sit. I’m very attentive so I’ll give your fur babies exactly what they want whether it’s a walk, potty break or cuddles. If your dog has any special way of doing things I’ll be sure to follow your rules.
“Carolina was a great caretaker of our dogs. When she came to meet them, they immediately took to her. She was even okay with the fact that I found a puppy a week before we were leaving. We are so thankful to have found our new go - to for dog sitting.”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Having Judy and Betty here to watch my babies gave us great peace of mind. We haven't been on vacation in ages because we were worried about leaving our fur babies. We will definitely be using them again in the future! And my puppies love them!”
“Desdrianneja was an amazing sitter, especially for taking such a last minute booking. Holiday travel plans changed and we ended up not having someone available. She took our booking at the absolute last minute and didn’t even bat an eye. She was punctual on check-ins with our cats, and went out of her way to keep an eye on our shyer cat who likes to hide. She helped clean up litter boxes and trash on her way on and overall was a perfect fit. Would book again.”

About: Hello I grew up in the islands of South America and have taken care of a lot different animals my whole life. From moneys,snakes,hamsters, rabbits I just love being around animals. I’m currently waiting to be enlisted in the army so I have a lot of free time until I finish my enlistment and working at a local army facility. I have a extra room and the living is also free for animals to roam. I have a dog park right outside my house so all pets will have plenty of room to run around and play.
“Sandra did an outstanding job caring for Billy and Buddy. She brought homemade treats for them, kept in regular communication (with pictures) with me and left the house in great condition. She went out of her way to assist with things like watering our plants and cleaning our refrigerator shelves (which was a complete and welcome surprise). She is a delightful person and I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician working in both general practice and emergency medicine, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) If we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or just spending time together, I make sure every pet receives care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. 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. It’s my priority to provide reliable care that keeps your pet comfortable and maintain their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet may need :) Because I’m a veterinary technician, I'm able to recognize changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your vet’s instructions. 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, 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 baby is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want to build trust with both you and your pet through reliable, compassionate care.

“Carly is an amazing sitter! She is very kind and took the time to meet all of our furbabies and go over all their care instructions! She was also very patient and understanding with how much information I gave her for each of our pets! She followed their routine perfectly in regards to mealtimes and taking them out to potty and run around! As well as checking the litter box for our cats! She did a great job looking after them and caring for them while we were away! Carly is trustworthy, dependable, and communicative! She reached out with any questions she had and also sent updates! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Jayla was awesome! She picked up our booking on super short notice when our other sitter cancelled on us at the very last minute. She took fantastic care of the dogs and was extremely graceful and responsive when our dog had a health emergency. She left the house even cleaner than she found it. 10/10. Would certainly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aldine is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Aldine walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Aldine maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aldine choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
