“Geneva was great! She came to meet my dogs beforehand and they loved her! They were so well behaved when she would come to feed them and let them out to potty! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
About: In my family there are two loving pets. Max (Husky) is a large fluffy love button. Gambit on the other hand is a small protective and playful shih Tzu with the bounciest tail I have ever seen. They both keep me on my toes with active verbal communication, cuddles, and many slobbery kisses. I have an open heart and time schedule for any pup (adults and cats included) in need of a potty break or a good jog around the community. Additionally, I am willing to give baths and conduct vet visits if needed. As a former military personnel I take pride in being able to serve my community and provide safety to both human and furry residents of texas. I hope to meet all the wagging tails I can soon. I am a stay at home mom. Therefore I have all of the extra time for cuddles, walks, runs and so much more of course. My home is not currently set up to take on pets. As I live in an apartment and don’t feel comfortable with doing so just yet.
“Ainsley was amazing with our 2 dogs and very respectful of our apartment while sitting for the weekend. Absolutely trustworthy and caring. I would recommend her to anyone I know!”
“Helen was great while my partner and I were out of town. She sent tons of photos and videos, and the animals looked totally comfortable—even our nervous cat seemed to enjoy her, which is saying something! When we got home, everyone was happy and the apartment looked untouched, like she hadn’t even been there. We’ve never had a pet sitter before, but we were able to actually enjoy our trip knowing Helen was here.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and have experience with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and following specific care instructions or routines. I am in both the Texas City and Pearland area. I work part-time, so I have a super flexible schedule. I love staying active and spending time with dogs, and I’m able to fit them in anytime to make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I always prioritize safety, follow routines closely, and can crate, separate pets, or adjust care based on your dog’s needs.
“Ashley was wonderful with my dog. My dog is a bit older and Ashley did a great job ensuring that she got plenty of exercise, food, and cuddles. I will certainly book with her again.”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Trystan was able to cat and home sit for us while we were out of country for an extended period of time. She was friendly, very flexible and easy to work with, which was greatly appreciated. Trystan had consistent communication with us which is so important when trusting someone with your fur baby. Our cat seemed to truly enjoy her time with Trystan and our fur baby was not stressed when we came back!”
“This was my first time using Adele. She was great , my golden retriever loved her . She was very good communication . Will definitely use her again . Sent lots of pictures !”

About: Hi, I am a pre nursing major. I am currently in nursing school. I have been raised around dogs since I was 10. I have a dog of my own . I also watch my mom’s dogs when she is away as well, she has 3 dogs herself . I have helped my mom and sister breed their dogs and take care of them.

I have a dog myself, so I take her out first thing in the morning and I also feed her. She is very loving. I have a friendly pet. I have a dog named Ivy.

Whether in my home or a client's, I ensure pets' safety and happiness. I follow their routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. A clean, comfy environment with fresh water and toys is key. Regular walks, playtime, and monitoring for distress are essential for their well-being.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have grown up with dogs as well so I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand the importance of following your dog’s routine, respecting any special instructions, and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the patience, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m very flexible and can work around my part time job we can communicate what will work for the both of us! Feel free to send me a message! Weekends I’m always free for sure ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep fresh water available, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, treat it with respect, and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Almeda
Loved Tracy from start to finish. She showed up on time for the meet and greet, used common sense, communicated (even when my responses were delayed), followed most instructions, and kept the house clean. Only criticism would be to spend a little more time playing and just being there with the pup during drop-ins but it was my fault for not fully communicating. She has found a loyal client in me and I have already been referring Tracy.
We booked Mateo to stay at our house with our dogs while we were out of town for a week. He did a great job taking care of our dogs and left our house just as we had left it. He was very communicative and sent frequent updates. I would have him watch our dogs again.
Kyndall was what we've been looking for. Very sweet yound lady with a passion for animals and their well being. My 11 year old Canary Mastiff is a grouch and very standoff'ish when it comes to new people around him. He almost immediately warmed up to Kyndall. She sent plenty of pics of either him playing with her or just lounging around. She is definitely my go to moving forward. I'd recommend Kyndall 11 out of 10 times!
Nicole was incredible! She was reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. We felt very much at ease while being out of town for almost a week. Our dogs were happy and content, and our house well cared for. Nicole really went above and beyond expectation. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Almeda
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Almeda is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 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 3,592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Almeda. 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 Almeda 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 Almeda 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 Almeda 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 Almeda. 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.
