“Geneva looked after my cat Crossaint for a full three weeks, staying with her at my home. Never once during the three weeks did I feel like I needed to check in with Geneva or worry about Croissiant! Geneva is FANTASTIC! Super communicative, very reliable and extremely considerate of your needs. Book Geneva without any hesitation - she is AMAZING!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I couldn’t imagine life without them - my two Great Danes and a Doberman even have their own room at home. I’m experienced in rare conditions and healthcare, administering of medication, senior and puppy care. I’m currently as of 9/17 not working and no commitments. I’m available to come just about any time of day. Feeding, walks, outside play time, it’s a 24 hour operation and I don’t restrict myself to take care of animals. If I’m coming to spend time with your pets, I’m coming to spend time with your pets. I’ll bring treats if permitted and I’m used to special needs diets and restrictions so my time is your time when I’m with your baby. I’m a huge fan of communication and updates.
“Excellent dogsitter! I'm normally anxious when leaving my furbaby and Zariah was superb at following instructions, keeping me updated, making decisions, and making me feel comfortable.”
“We have never left our dogs with a sitter but we were visiting our new grandbaby and one of my dogs was just too much! Sophia was the perfect fit for us! We have a senior dog, an 80 pound golden puppy who is a lot and a low maintenance cat. She took great care of them all and I know they were happy to be in their own house and not in a tiny hotel room. Her communication was fantastic and we felt very at ease. We I’ll book her again”
“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: I have taken care of my dog for 11 years and I treated her like my own daughter until she passed away lately. I have also taken care of my cat for 7 years. I picked him and his siblings up at the side of the street. I gave his siblings to my relatives and I kept one without the tail. He became my baby cat ever since. I'm currently working at home, so I have a plenty of time to play with your pups and kitten! I can work from 8-9am till 3-4pm. I can well take care of your dogs or cats all the time at your home. To make sure of them not getting hurt, not hungry, not thirsty, or not messy around.
“Elmer was amazing! Our regular sitter wasn’t able to watch our dogs and finding someone new to trust is always a little stressful, but he made the whole process very easy. He was personable, sent daily photos and videos where our dogs looked so happy, and we came back to a clean house. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Would definitely use him again”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years through pet sitting as well as caring for my own dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds. I understand how important routines, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention are when their owner is away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also active and enjoy walks and playtime, so higher-energy dogs are always welcome! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and can accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also comfortable with crates when needed and can keep pets separated when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I have a fenced back yard as well
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for 7 years, and my love for animals has led me to volunteer at local dog shelters and care for multiple pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and always treat them like my own. I’m very detail-oriented, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing extra love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am mainly free in the early mornings and later evenings! As long as I know the schedule ahead of time I am willing to make anything work for you and your furry friend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions.

I also love providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“My dogs love love Sara! I was able to actually relax on my vacation knowing they were in great hands. She was so accommodating with the picture sending and my dog mom anxieties. I will definitely be booking her anytime I go on a trip!”
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.
“My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗”
“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.”
“We love Reagan! The pooches and the people. She’s great with them. They are happy to see us but they don’t cry and they aren’t nervous and I feel great knowing that while we are gone she is here to tend to them. ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and have volunteered at my local animal shelter from ages nine to fifteen. I only left because of school and the need to get a job. I then worked at a grooming and boarding facility for almost three years. Now I work at an animal clinic as a kennel assistant for our boarding pets. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday with on and off again weekends, but have plenty of free time on the days I work a half day. On the days I work doubles however, I’d only have time to stop by somewhere near work as I only get an hour break. Otherwise, I’m free after 1pm or 6pm on certain days, or before I go in at 1pm. That can be discussed in more detail when required. As someone who has worked with many different boarding pets throughout the years I do believe taking care of pets in your own home will add more comfort to them as well as yourself. It’s easier to care for them on a schedule they are familiar with while in a space they know and love. I always treat them as if they are my own because I know I’d wish the same for my fur babies if I ever had someone watch over them.
“Lemuel was great! He came to watch our house and animals for a week and a half, and did a great job. We even have a couple dogs who don’t always get along and need some additional management and he took great care of that ensuring that everyone was happy and healthy while we were gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all of my life. My children grew up in a home with 4 dogs and 2 cats. Now that the children are grown and gone it’s just Ziggy and I. Ziggy is a 5 pound 5 year old Morkie. I’ve cared for friends and neighbors pets. Our home is very inviting and pet friendly. We walk daily and play out in the yard for a good time. I live in a community that is gated with a guard 24/7, with very little traffic. I’m home 24/7, your pet will have round the clock care and attention. I’m in a 55 plus community, where we have daily doggie mingles. Multiple walks throughout our community, pet friendly cartoons, toys and daily activities including walks and playtime. Your pet can enjoy a screened patio, sunbathing in the green well maintained yard, relax on the patio, walks on a leash, chilling in out hammock, or sitting with treats watching doggie cartoons.
About: I currently work as a pet sitter with dogs and cats of all sorts of personalities. This experience has honed my ability to accurately interpret animal body language and proactively adjust my approach to meet the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. I provide different services for them such as strictly dog walking, pet taxi, enrichment, potty breaks, and overnight stays! I have a dog myself that has recently undergone leg surgery. I have experience administering medications, and everything it requires to help him and other dogs recover. I have also sought out dog training for my own dog, and have learned a lot about tips and tricks. I pet sit as of right now, with flexible clients, with lots of free time in between clients. Most of my clients travel for work, therefore my schedule is sporadic. I deliver tailored pet care services structured entirely around your specific instructions and your pet's established routine. By mirroring your exact approach to your pet's daily life, I ensure a seamless, stress-free transition that maintains their comfort, safety, and happiness while you are away. Whether it is active engagement, companionship, routine feeding, or medication administration. Ultimately, my continuous aspiration is to deliver the absolute best service to your pet and complete peace of mind to you.
“Amanda took excellent care of my beagle guy while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos! It gave me real peace of mind. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely book them again if I ever travel back to Houston.”

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.
Excellent service. Sarah is the sweetest. We were traveling through Houston in a motor home and took in an Astros game. We were apprehensive about leaving Cali and Chloe, our two basset hounds alone. Sarah was perfect. If you are traveling and need a pet sitter, we can highly recommend Sarah
We cannot say enough amazing things about Ines! She watched both of our dogs and took absolutely immaculate care of our home while we were away. Communication was fantastic—we loved getting updates and the personalized daily photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Beyond just standard pet sitting, Ines went above and beyond by helping train our 1-year-old French Bulldog pup during her stay! It is so rare to find a sitter who is not only incredibly responsible with your home, but also possesses the genuine skill and patience to work on puppy training. We came home to very happy, well-behaved pups and a spotless house. We will absolutely be booking Ines 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!

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.
<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 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.
