“We have been using Wendy for a long time now and she always does a great job. We definitely trust her to check on our two cats and administer my cat’s meds while out of town. They love her!”


“Kimberly took amazing care of our baby kitty while we were gone for a week. This was our first time using Rover and I was very weary of leaving him alone with a stranger but he quickly warmed up to Kimberly and she sent photos and videos daily with a summary of how he was doing. I will definitely be using Kimberly the next time we go out of town and aren't able to bring him along.”


About: I have 1 to 1½ years of experience working in veterinary and kennel environments, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands when you’re away. I have two dogs of my own, and I would treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own pets. I know it can be stressful when you’re traveling, working long hours, or simply need an extra set of hands to help care for your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and will soon be attending school part-time as well. Despite my schedule, I have flexibility throughout the week and am fully available on weekends. I understand that pet owners often need reliable care while working, traveling, or managing busy schedules, and I am committed to providing dependable care when you need an extra helping hand Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is very important to me. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and care so they can feel secure while their owners are away. To help build trust and ensure the best experience for everyone, I prefer to meet your dog before the first walk or pet-sitting visit. This allows me to get to know their personality, routine, and comfort level, while also helping your pet become familiar with me. Every dog is different, and taking the time to establish trust beforehand helps create a safe and positive environment for both your pet and myself.
“Cierra was great! She accepted a last minute request to check in on my pups and did an excellent job making sure they were happy and cared for. Very happy with her sitting services!!!”

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!

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.

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.
