“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🩷”
“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.”
“Sherine and Kai were amazing as always! It gives us such peace of mind to know they are taking care of our kitties (including two elderly kitties) and house while we travel! They are so great with the cats and go above and beyond with the house! They are our go-to for housesitting! Highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“Kaira was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took care of our two dogs and cat for six days, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with her service. From the start, she was highly attentive, taking detailed notes during our meet-and-greet to ensure she understood our pets’ routines perfectly. Kaira went above and beyond to keep our pets comfortable, even when she was out, maintaining their usual schedule with care and precision. Her consistent communication, including daily pictures and updates, provided us with peace of mind while we were away. We were also delighted to return to a spotless home, with everything in its place, for which we are extremely grateful. Kaira’s professionalism, warm and friendly interaction with our pets, regular check-ins, and keen attention to detail are all reasons why we look forward to having her care for our pets again. Everyone should have a Kaira in their pets’ lives!”
“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”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“We could not be more pleased with Geneva! She did a great job for us and Ted and we intend to use her again. She was very professional, courteous, communicative, and timely. We were impressed!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I grew up caring for my family’s Chihuahua and have helped care for our Goldendoodle. I also love helping stray animals whenever I can, including feeding kittens recently. I’m patient, caring, attentive, and excited to give your pets the same love and attention I’d give my own. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I’d love to provide companionship, care, playtime, and lots of love! 🐾❤️ I live with my boyfriend in a safe, gated apartment complex and currently have no pets. There are convenient walking areas right outside, and I have a flexible schedule to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, playtime, and love! 🐾❤️
“Ari was absolutely wonderful with our pets! We have five dogs and a cat, including three dogs who were taking medication during her stay, and she did an amazing job administering everything as instructed. One of our dogs is especially picky and incredibly smart when it comes to medication. She knows immediately when there’s a pill hidden in her food, and giving her medication can be a nightmare. Ari went above and beyond by researching different ways to administer it and even asked for my approval before trying a new method. I really appreciated how attentive, proactive, and thoughtful she was. Our pets seemed to really love her, and she took great care of our home while house sitting as well. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our senior pets were in such caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Ari, for taking such great care of our pets and our home! ❤️ We will definitely be booking with you again!”
About: I have had a plethora of pups all my life in a variety of sizes; and everything from teacups to titans. I have also more recently (4yrs) been able to unleash my love for fur babies on kitties too! I also have experience pet and house sitting for many years. I have a teacup poodle named Nugget that loves playing with dogs and cats of all sizes. Though Nugget and I live in an apartment, it is quite large with an open floor plan and plenty of room for the zoomies. It is also a very pet friendly gated complex with plenty of grassy areas to run around and play, and only a few minutes from the dog park! It is also just a block away from an artisan pet bakery and a veterinary hospital. Just across the street from my complex is a beautiful neighborhood with picturesque tree lined sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. Nugget and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share some pets and cuddles. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to work with you and your pet’s schedule for the best outcome for all. My teacup poodle, Nugget, and I love hosting furry friends. We have lots of treats and toys to share l, with your permission of course. Multiple walks take place each day, anywhere from 15mins to an hour, depending on the weather, and fresh water is always available. Pets are allowed on the furniture and multiple pet beds are available, but I understand if you and your pet prefer their own and/or their crate. The longest time pets would be left alone is 1-2hrs, but this rarely happens as I usually take them with me if the errand allows for it. I am also happy to care for your pup in your own home. Please just let me know what kind of routine you wish me to follow and I’ll be happy to oblige to the best of my ability. Please note, walks during drop-in visits will only be long enough for your heart up to take care of their bodily needs. These visits are for feeding, checking in on your animal, and socialization. If you would like the focus of the visit to be walking your pup, please book a dog walk, as opposed to a drop-in visit. Thank you.
“Can’t say enough good about Jennifer. Her communication was impeccable, she left the house as good as we left it, and our golden was in great care. Will certainly be reaching out to have her watch our home again soon.”
“Kathleen is great. We had her watch Caesar for 3 weeks during an international trip; after doing a meet and greet with her, we were confident he would be in good hands. We returned to a happy, healthy boy. She was both independent and communicative throughout the stay - sending pics as well. We also came back to a home perhaps cleaner than we left it. She went above and beyond; it was clear our space was cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out to her first next time we need a sitter!”
“We had an urgent situation and need someone to help with watching and picking up our dog. Sarah responded us and coordinated with me through this entire tricky and last-minute situation. She is right on time and be so nice and professional with our dog. We are so glad to find Sarah from Rover and her help means so much for us!”
About: I offer dedicated drop-in visits and energetic dog walking. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and plenty of focused playtime. Whether it’s a "sniffari" walk or cozy evening walks, I ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I have 4 years of experience caring for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing gentle medication administration, I’ve seen it all. My background has taught me how to read animal body language effectively, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members.I currently work from home, which gives me the ultimate flexibility to prioritize your pet’s schedule. I am available for midday walks and last-minute check-ins. Because I’m local, I can spend more time focusing on your pet and less time commuting. My schedule is designed around the needs of the dogs I care for. I focus my availability during peak mid-day hours (11 AM – 2 PM) to ensure your pup gets their exercise and potty break while you’re at work. Because I have experience with medical monitoring and medication schedules, I am very disciplined with timing—if your dog needs medicine at a specific hour, I make that the anchor of my daily routine. On weekends, I enjoy taking longer adventure walks to local spots like Memorial Park for pups who need a bit more stimulation! Safety and comfort are my top priorities.I follow your dog's established routine to the letter. This includes precise feeding, fresh water, and a secure walk in familiar surroundings. If your pet requires medication, I handle administration with the same care and accuracy I used when caring for my sister's dog—ensuring they stay on track and stress-free.

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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alief is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $91 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alief. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
