About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a certified pet specialist I have been around animals my whole life I’m a college graduate who makes it my duty to make sure any animal in my care is WELL taken care of…I have been doing pet sitting for over 4 years i have phenomenal reviews and will take GREAT care of your pet while you are away!!! I currently have plenty free time for your fur babies while I’m mostly at home even during holidays and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! When a pet is in my care they will have play time , plenty walks and exercise ,plenty treats and most of all plenty love. I speak with each pet parent to know what their pet likes and dislikes and always make sure I’m a great fit for your pet!!
“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!”
“Tanita did a great job watching my pets (large dog and a cat) while we were out. The house was in even better shape after she and her daughter left. Really appreciate the care she took, including walking our dog in the hot summer heat.”
“Larisa was wonderful! She took great care of our pet and kept us updated throughout the stay. She sent pictures every day and stayed in communication with us, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy pet and would absolutely hire her again!”
“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our cats again, they were happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Gabby watched our girls for a week while we were out of town. She made them feel comfortable and loved until we came back home. Thank you so much for giving such amazing updates and caring for our girls🥰 We would happily book her again!”
“She was amazing!! She communicated thoroughly throughout the entire weekend and even cleaned our house while we were gone. Our pets loved her. We’ve already booked her again for next weekend!”
“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!”
“Ziaya was amazing! She took excellent care of my two dogs and made us feel completely at ease leaving her in our home. Highly recommend her services! She took them on multiple walks and gave us updates along the way. She’s the best!”
About: I have cared for and raised a myriad of domestic and wild animals in my 36 years of life. I worked at Petland pet store for 3 years. I worked at a vet clinic in Sugar Land for 2 years. I was a volunteer at the Houston SPCA Wildlife Center for 1 year. Animals I have had as pets: Dogs, cats, parrot, parakeets, chinchilla, gerbils, hamsters, rats, mice, tarantulas, scorpions, frogs, lizards, non-venemous snakes, pot belly pig, ducks. Animals I have raised: Puppies, kittens, rabbits, squirrels, ducks, a woodpecker, possums. I am currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I'm available for pet-sitting, boarding, house-sitting, dog walks, and daily check-ins on weekdays and weekends. I live in a spacious, 2 bedroom apartment that has two fenced dog parks. There is also a park & walking trail across the street from my apartment. I live 13 minutes from the Sugar Land Pawm Springs Dog Park that I love to take dogs to! I am a nurturing person at heart so cuddling and loving on dogs and other animals that enjoy affection utterly brings my heart joy. I just want to make animals feel safe, comfortable and loved <3
“Jennifer was amazing with our two boys!!! She came and had a meet and greet the day before and answered any and all questions we had…our boys were well taken care of while we were gone!!!! She sent us daily updates with pictures of them loving their time with their new friend. We will definitely use her again if the opportunity arises!!!!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since childhood and genuinely love building trust with every dog I meet. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and especially good with shy, sensitive, or high-energy dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. As a dog owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs — whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I spend most of my time at home, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Daily walks, attention, playtime, cuddles, and a calm environment are all part of our routine. My dog and I love long walks, and I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean, loving environment with lots of supervised walks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, and I always adapt to their needs and routines to help them feel secure and stress-free.
“Sorry I’m a little late in giving this review…..life got in the way….Lisa was absolutely wonderful with our Lab, Koa. We will definitely request her over and over whenever we have the opportunity to travel again. Thank you so much Rover for providing us with such a wonderful young lady”
“I had a week long stay for my pet, and Gabrielle was well prepared to take care of him to make sure he had a good time. Great communication and was very attentive to my pet! Would recommend Gabrielle.”
About: While you’re away, I become your pet’s stand-in best friend. I make sure tails keep wagging, whiskers keep twitching, and every cuddle is just as good as home. I work from home, so I’m home most of the time and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day with feedings, potty breaks & playtime. Townhome living with a gated, fenced-in space. One friendly Shih Tzu fur baby who loves company. Pets enjoy free roam of the home and are always given attentive care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alief
Hailee was great! She understood the challenges that come with having a senior dog and gave my boy all the attention he deserved! She made sure to come meet him before we left and sent multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. The house was clean and locked up properly when we arrived home. Would book again!
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 $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $89 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 November 2026, there are 3,599 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alief. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
