About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old while living with my parents, including feeding, playing, and helping with daily care. In the past few months, I have also been taking care of my own cat, Zeno, which has given me consistent hands-on experience with feeding schedules, attention, and daily pet needs. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm available to provide reliable cat care throughout the week. I can work with your cat's regular feeding and care routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll communicate with you during each visit and do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Your cat's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure doors and windows remain secure. I respect your home, keep your cat's routine as consistent as possible, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors would always trust me to feed walk and bathe their dogs whenever they were away. I’m currently working part- time which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am typically always free in the mornings and afternoon while some days I am free all day. Schedule can always be discussed. I am open to provide any care your fur baby might need while you are away and cannot provide that care. That may include walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with them.

Webster, TX, 77598

About: I have helped take care of dogs of all ages since elementary. Nowadays I make fast friends with dogs and love bringing them out on walks. I love high energy breeds and helping them release all the pent up energy so that they sleep like a baby once they get home. Also work well with meeting low energy dogs at their level so that they have fun too. I am currently working full time as a researcher from home so my schedule is very flexible. Getting out of the house to visit pets or go on walks is as essential for my mental health as it is for your fur baby. I am not able to host dogs at this time, but make a priority of keeping the fur babies routine as much as possible when doing house visits and check ins. My goal is to eliminate as much stress as possible for your fur babies.

At this time my home cannot accommodate another pet. But I am very conscientious about puppy proofing and ensuring my time with your dog is safe and fun!

About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked in a veterinary clinic and am comfortable with medication administration, senior pets, puppies, kittens, and pets that may be shy, nervous, or require extra patience. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently live with one friendly dog and one cat. My cat stays in my room and can be kept separate from visiting pets when needed. Visiting dogs have access to a secure wrap-around backyard with cameras and a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed. I also have space available for a kennel if your pet is crate-trained or prefers their own quiet space. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I'll treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, playtime, and attention. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each booking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 20+ years of hands-on pet care. I provide walks that are safe, structured, and tailored to your dog’s personality—whether they’re high-energy and need a steady pace, or more sensitive and do best with a calm, reassuring approach. I pay attention to the details that matter: leash safety, hydration, heat awareness, paw checks, and reading body language so your dog feels secure and understood. I’m patient with shy or anxious dogs, gentle with seniors, and consistent with dogs who thrive on routine. You’ll always know your dog is in good hands. I communicate clearly and treat your pet like family—so you can relax knowing they’re being cared for with love, respect, and reliability. If you’re looking for someone you can trust—who shows up, stays attentive, and truly cares—I’d love to meet you and your pup. My schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and flexible walk times throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as weekend care. Because I keep my schedule balanced, I’m able to give each dog calm, focused attention and unrushed care. Whether your pup needs a consistent routine or occasional help, I work with you to create a schedule that keeps them comfortable and secure. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I use secure leash handling, remain alert to surroundings, and adjust pace and distance based on weather, energy level, and your dog’s needs. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, which helps prevent overstimulation and supports anxious or sensitive pets. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and a trustworthy presence in your home.

About: I’m Ebony and I love caring for dogs. For the past ten years, I’ve been working to provide loving care to pups of all personalities and breeds! Currently, I have a rescue Fox Terrier of my own named Oreo. He’s five years old and my life truly changed after I adopted him from Petsmart. I understand how hard it is to be away from your furry friend and know that leaving your dog with a stranger can often be stressful and scary. I aim to provide honest, trustworthy, and skilled care to every pup and owner I meet. Your dog will be loved and watched carefully. I can also be in constant and consistent contact, sending photos, videos, and text updates to share the fun we’re having. I live in a wonderful, dog-friendly home in the Rodeo Palms neighborhood, where your pup can enjoy toys, treats, and cuddles galore! The area is quiet and is family-heavy, so it’s a safe and fun place to bring puppy friends. There are also lots of dog parks in my neighborhood, so with your permission we’ll hit the outdoors to meet some new friends. You’ll also love that my home has a fenced-in backyard - which makes potty breaks, sunbathing, and play time easy and fun! There is room to run and roam, bark and play, and get to know Oreo a little better. When I’m not pet sitting, I love spending time with Oreo as well as teaching children to read, travelling around the world, and getting my Zumba on! Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of my adventures. I can’t wait to meet you! On a stay with me, I’ll be sure to provide everything your dog needs in order to stay happy and healthy! We’ll stay safe in my fenced in yard and take frequent potty breaks. On a stay with me, I’ll be sure to provide everything your dog needs in order to stay happy and healthy! We’ll stay safe in my fenced in yard!

Stacey is great! She is extremely responsive and reliable. She was available last minute to care for my dogs when I had to go out of town. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals and knows how to interact and care for them. My dogs require some extra steps in their care routine and she made sure that everything was completed for them. We look forward to using her again soon!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Alvin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Alvin is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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 3,676 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Alvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Alvin 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Alvin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alvin. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
