About: I’ve always cared well for my pets - most of which were dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, rats, mice, and when I was young this included whatever wild animals I snuck into the house - snakes, frogs, lizards, worms, ants, spiders, baby birds and bunnies and so on. I still remember my pet's names: Maggie, Romeo, Alice, TJ, Corky, Tommy, Bruce, Annie, Guy, Quito, Slinky, Tilly, Tikka, Raja, and Jet... and some of the wild ones, including "George Cooney" the baby raccoon. I'm also familiar with many different types of products and methods associated with the care of both domestic and wild animals. I spent six weeks volunteering at Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue in AZ. The work included things like cleaning kennels, holding and comforting rescue dogs during medical procedures, walking them, training them, bathing, feeding, and breaking down kennels. During this time I worked to rehabilitate a 95 lb blue pitty named Vinnie. The goal was for him to be a bit more gentle and easy to walk. He spent the first 2 years of his life pulling skateboarders. To him, a leash meant “pull hard.” His training involved daily sessions of at least 45 minutes for about six weeks. By the end he would reliably respond to “heel, sit, paw, down, come, and stay.” He could also lay down and stay put calmly for up to an hour, even off leash if need be. This is what I do for work, so I will try my best to be available whenever you need me to be. Wherever schedule conflicts arise, I try hard to be easy to work with. My pups don't use a crate but in the past I've had pups that preferred it. I let them choose as they grew up. For your pups, I will do as you ask, just as I have for every pet I've ever cared for that did not belong to me... Give me a list, and I will carefully follow your instructions while being a good caretaker, instructor, exerciser, and friend for them. My routines allow me to be flexible with my schedule, which makes it possible to provide for your pet’s needs at the time that’s most convenient for you and for them. I understand that different people and pets have different needs and will care for them the way in which I am instructed. I love the animals in my care and want to make sure they and you are comfortable with the way I’m doing things.
“Mary was so great with my doggie! He had some accidents in his kennel while I was on a trip and she cleaned it up with no problem and even came by sooner and more often. She was extremely respectful with the house and left everything better than it was. She communicated every step of the way, sent pictures, and went above and beyond. I was so relieved knowing my pup was in good hands 😊”

About: I have taking care of animals my whole Life. Now I am looking for dog friends for my senior black lab. Looking forward to getting to know you pup! I am a substitute teacher and student at UHCL. I have a flexible schedule. I also have a dog door for the dogs to come in and out as needed. I feed and give my dog water. I play with him each day and we do evening walks when it is cooler. I love to give my dogs treats for well behaved manners
“Alyssa was responsive and communicative. I am a first time rover user and she took the time to meet my dogs and I beforehand for a meet and greet which really meant a lot to me. Thank you!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover based in Alvin/Santa Fe. I have owned many dogs and cats in my life and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable and safe. I currently offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Cat care You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! As a newly certified elementary school teacher, I have summers off and a schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. During the school year, I’m usually home by 4:30 PM and available evenings, weekends, and school holidays. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. Me, my husband, and our 2 teenage kids live on a one-acre property with lots of open space. While the yard is not fenced, it’s a great environment for supervised outdoor time. We have a friendly, high-energy dog named Zoey, two indoor cats, and two outdoor cats who join us inside during the winter months.
“Jesika was SO amazing with our young puppy!!! She sent adorable pictures and a detailed report each visit. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my puppy was in good hands. Thank you so much and look forward to booking you again!!”
“Holly was an absolute delight and went out of her way to familiarize herself with my cats and their routines. I felt relieved and comforted that she not only attended my cats’ basic needs but also doted on them each time she visited. She kept in excellent communication with me and made my day by sharing adorable, candid pics of my fur babies. Would absolutely use her again.”
About: Many pet sitters provide basic care; I focus on building relationships. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. Whether it's extra playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping their schedule consistent, I go the extra mile to ensure pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part time so I’m available to come by in the mornings before work, afternoons and evening! I’m available on weekends as well! I care for dogs in their own homes by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. From feeding and walks to playtime, belly rubs, and bedtime routines, I make sure they receive the same love and attention they're used to. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs. I also send regular photo updates because I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry family member while you're away.
About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was eight, including my own Labrador. I offer loving, attentive care, with special experience in senior pet attention. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their furry family members. I'm currently working part-time and attending school full-time. However, I'm very flexible and can easily plan time to play with your pups! For drop-in visits, I prioritize the dog's happiness and well-being. I ensure they receive the correct feeding and walking schedule, along with plenty of playtime. I also maintain a secure fenced yard and always use a leash and waste bags during walks.
“Tessa thank you so much for always taking care of Benny. He loves you! We appreciate the updates and cutest pictures you send. For anyone reading this, 100% recommend Tessa. She is THE BEST.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs of all sizes since I was a tiny tot. I have experience with crate training, potty training, and overall skills training. I’m currently in grad school, but the semester is coming to an end, so I’ll have plenty of time over the summer to care for your pup. I keep treats on deck and will make sure that your pup feels safe with me. Building trust is my number one priority and I want to make sure that not only you, but your beloved pup can trust me as well.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alvin stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
