“Hannah was amazing with our dogs! She took great care of our senior dog and puppy (who is very puppy). She also kept the house clean and kept in contact with us throughout the time she was with them. Would 💯 book her again!!”
About: In addition to my deep passion for animals, I have dedicated the past 6 years to supporting pet families from grooming, to providing a home away from home, and even how to socialize with friends. I've been here to help with it all. During this time, I've helped raise and care for fur babies as young as 4 weeks old to the wisdom- and adventure-filled 18 years old! No pup is too small or large and I welcome the adventures that come with it. How can I help support your family? I currently work as a groomer keeping pets in tip-top shape and provide care before and after my shifts and full-time on Sunday-Monday. What kind of care will your baby need Does your pet need enrichment activities? Or do they prefer playing with other pups? Whatever they prefer I have both! From snuffle mats to Kongs or even trips to the park or playtime with my friendly pups, I can keep your pup engaged and feeling loved while their favorite humans get to have peace of mind that their pets are safe and loved!
“Where do I begin? Sherine was nothing short of amazing! She was super friendly and attentive to all our needs. She updated us frequently and always let us know if she had any questions. She took great care of our two Yorkies, showing them lots of love & attention! Before she left, she did a good job cleaning up that we didn’t even ask for! You want to leave your pups in great care with no worries, then book Sherine.”
“Kassidy was great with my three dogs! She followed instructions very well and kept posted me with their pics🐶 I would definitely ask her to dog sitting my dogs again🫶🏻 Thank you, Kassidy🩷”
“Darrius did an amazing job watching our house and our dogs for a week while we were out of the country. He was very reliable and trustworthy. He sent us checkins and pictures daily. Our dogs were happy and clean when we came home. He even dealt with our pool and brought our packages inside. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Jairo was great with ours dogs! He kept us updated, communicated well. We really appreciated the notes he left about each of them during his stay with them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“Albert was great! Took very good care of my dog and made sure he was comfortable at home while I was away. Responds quickly and professionally. Will be using again in the future.”
“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!”
“Leah took wonderful care of our dog, Nutmeg, while we were away for 10 days. She gave us complete peace of mind by providing daily updates with photos, which made it so reassuring to see how well Nutmeg was doing. Leah carefully followed all of the instructions we left and treated both Nutmeg and our home with great care and respect. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nutmeg’s well-being, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely book Leah again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to care for their pets.”
“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”
About: I provide reliable, attentive care, and make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible to help them feel more comfortable. I do have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs including, basic training habits, maintaining potty schedules, administering simple medications and giving extra patience and attention to older pets. I like clear communication with owners so I can make sure I’m treating every pet as if they are my own. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for the babies. I can generally take care of anything at any moment with a proper notice. I give pets the necessary space, toys, and time they need. I have an enclosed balcony for dogs that enjoy outside, and a plush couch for the ones who enjoy inside. I am adamant about food and potty time! Any specifics that are required can be communicated and I will ensure it is taken care of.
“Tanita is the best! There was an immediate connection between she and my pup. You could tell right away that she is a dog person. She sent pictures while we were out of town which I loved. She never complained but I am certain she cleaned up pee and poop messes. She left the house in better condition than the way we left it. Tanita is very responsible and trustworthy. Overall it was a really great experience and I absolutely will be reaching out to Tanita again when we go out of town. My dog keeps asking when she will be coming back! Highly recommend.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a deep love for dogs, I used to rescue street dogs and later joined an animal rescue organization in my hometown. Taking care of animals has always been my passion, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I started by helping neighbors and friends with their furry companions, ensuring they were happy, safe, and entertained. Now, I’m bringing that same love and dedication to Rover!

Every day, I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment for pets, whether they’re in my home or my client’s. My mornings start with feeding, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep pets happy and stimulated. Throughout the day, I ensure they receive attention, exercise, and companionship tailored to their needs. For cats, this means interactive play and quiet moments of bonding. For dogs, it includes, play sessions, and cuddles. Since I work with a flexible schedule, I can dedicate quality time to every pet in my care, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and at ease.

About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have my own Dobermann along with my family's senior Maltese mix and senior Poodle mix at my family's home. If I could foster or adopt more, I would! However, I would love to extend my availability to help folx who need a bit of a helping hand to care for their furry ones. My Dobermann has been through several training courses, so I often introduce basics to dogs I meet, including my friends' furbabies. I also help with my friend's Husky when they're busy, so I'm used to caring for dogs of any size and know the importance of following any regiment you have in place for them! For a more wagging tailored experience of care for your pets, I would love to connect-- more than happy to do an initial meet to ensure your pup feels safe. I currently work remotely within a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can work from anywhere to take a break to stop by and even go on a walk. I'm also fond of going to different coffee shops throughout Houston and can take your pup along if you would like for them to be out and about every once in a while. I bounce back and forth between the Westchase area and Humble/Northeast Houston, so I'm open to clients all over Greater Houston. I can easily crate your pup if need be and have been to several dog parks (if you're okay with them). I've worked on being able to identify body language between dogs to determine whether they are getting to know each other or if we need to separate from others right away. Routines are also great, and I am more than happy to follow any regiments pet parents have for their dog(s)-- including integrating training throughout everyday (not just training sessions), meal times, walk/potty times, or even designated play times.
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”
About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 3 years now and I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, and pigs! I've volunteered at animal shelters and pet adoption events. I'm good at anticipating animals' behaviors and reading body language, ensuring I understand their needs and comfort. I'm able to manage special diets for your pup as well as administer pills. I'm currently an online student so my schedule is very flexible and open. I'm detail oriented, fun and reliable and I am dedicated to providing the best care for your furry friends! I am currently an online student, so my schedule right now is very flexible and open as long as I have a strong internet connection. I'm able to work from home and choose my schedule so, working around my dog sitting schedule is no problem for me. I have a fenced back yard and 1 friendly older dog. I have dog beds and water bowls around my house and as well as two large crates if needed.
“Kaira was great with my pups! She was always updating me and sending me pictures of them during the duration of our trip. I had to extend our trip and she was flexible in being able to continue to care for them. We were also under crazy weather conditions and she made sure our house was taken care of as well. I definitely recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“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!”

Bayla did a great job housesitting and taking care of our dog Maverick. She was available for a last-minute (1 day) booking request and sent constant updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her for pet care and will definitely use her again in the future! 10/10
Karina was wonderful and helped us out with house sitting at very short notice. She took great care of our cats and our home, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility and reliability and would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Molly was great with our doggy. We booked a meet and greet session and a drop-in session before the date we were scheduled to leave to make sure she and our puppy were well acquainted and she was great with him. She did a 9 night stay and our Enzo was very well taken care of. We received updates and pictures and she even made sure he was fed and ready for the night before we arrived from our international trip. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again for future trips.
Vel did an above and beyond job taking care of our elderly dog while we were away. Macie requires extra special care (hand feeding, assistance with mobility, etc), and Macie seems to have way more energy than before we left! Vel was so attentive, sending recommendations on how she got Macie to eat more food, sending pupdates, and asking questions about Macie’s everyday stats. We were very impressed right off the bat and look forward to Vel taking care of Macie in the future. We highly recommend Vel, we even had visitors who stayed at our place who were able to hang out with Vel for a few days during their stay and they absolutely raved about their time. Thank you, Vel!!
Lillie is the dog whisperer! Our sweet anxious Remi had been diagnosed with pancreatitis a few days before our trip. Lillie was so fantastic with her, and was able to ease her anxiety and get her to eat enough while we were gone. Remi also enjoyed a lot more fetch then she gets to do when we are at home. The house was also clean when we returned, and she was great at sending us photos and updates. We are so grateful for Lillie‘s great care and looking forward to booking her next time.
It’s clear that Shiela loves animals. She took great care of our young dog who had never been overnight without us before. She also went above and beyond to take care of our pet caterpillar, water our plants, and she kept the house tidy. She was a great communicator and I felt confident that Maisie was in good hands. Thank you, Shiela!
Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She had quick and clear communication, followed all of my directions, and my babies clearly loved her. She sent plenty of photos and videos throughout the sit, and was quick to help when a couple personal issues came up during the week. She even left my house cleaner than I left it! I look forward to booking her again.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily’s care! Looking after a young puppy takes constant attention and routine, and she exceeded every expectation. For example, she kept our puppy on her feeding and potty schedule and made sure she got plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. She also won over our very particular older dog, which is no small feat. Despite several rainy days, she kept them comfortable and entertained indoors with care and patience. We came home to two relaxed dogs and a spotless house. I wholeheartedly recommend Emily and would be thrilled to have her care for our furr-babies again!
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!!
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!

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 Alief 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 Alief 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Alief 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.
