“Selina was fantastic!! I've always had family watch my cat, so I was very nervous at first about having someone new watch him. She came over for a meet and greet and my cat who NEVER likes to greet new people came right up to her!! She was always on time and took AMAZING care of my furbaby. She gave him treats, plenty of pets, and would send me daily reports on him with a detailed note of how he was doing, which made me feel so much more relaxed. My fiancé and I were all the way in Florida getting married, which is already a stressful ordeal, but knowing my cat was in great hands with Selina took a huge weight off of my shoulders. I would absolutely use her again to take care of my cat!!”

“We booked with Sarah over 10 times now because she is awesome! We can tell she really cares about our pets and shows them lotsss of love! We have also given her complicated care/feeding instructions and she followed them perfectly. When we’ve had to suddenly change our booking she is always very understanding and does whatever she can to help. We recommend her highly and will continue to book her!”

“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”

About: I have always had animals growing up. Raising cats to be 17 years old, and currently raising my 9 month old boxer which is very fun and rewarding. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies or let them stay with me and give them all of the attention If you board with me I have a big crate that my dog does not use but I’m more than willing to let your animals roam free. I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.

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.

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.

“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”

About: . I’ve been around, loved, cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also had a toy poodle who was my baby for 12 years before she passed away last October. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone affordable who you can truly trust to be patient, gentle, and loving with your pet. I’m hoping to be that person for someone else. I genuinely miss having that companionship in my life, so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for law school, which gives me a very flexible schedule.

About: I've grown up around animals my entire life, caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. My experience includes overnight pet sitting, boarding, feeding, walking, and caring for dogs that require medication according to their owner's instructions.

I believe clear communication builds trust, so I'm happy to provide updates and photos to help owners feel comfortable while they're away.
About: After a box of puppies left outside my house 15 years ago, I decided I wanted to change my career from accounting to the caring of animals. I started very small volunteering in a couple Humane Societies and followed it with my education and work to become an Elite Certified Fear Free Technician. My dedication and love for animals with an approach with the least fear, anxiety and stress is what I feel makes me succeed doing what I love. As a veterinary technician, I also offer administration of any kind of medications and treatments your pet's veterinarian prescribed. I can help you with large animals too. I an owner of 2 miniature donkeys I know how hard is to find someone to feed them. I do rodents and birds. Please, just let me know how I can help you. I am a Veterinary technician and I combine relieving nurses at different clinics, independent veterinarians, house call nurse services, boarding, grooming and pet sitting. I manage my schedule depending on my patients and clients need. Safety is my number one priority. I make sure your pets have safe boardings and walks. When board at my house, they get to be like one of my own. They can be in my couch, play with my dog Kraft and sleep with one of us in the house (if allowed by owners). When I pet sit them at their home, I try to make them feels that they are not alone, playing, socializing and giving them lots of love and patience.

About: I’ve had pets or all sorts since I was a small child. I grew up around cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals. I’m patient and also have experience in wildlife rehab— which means I can easily handle basic triage and medication/supplement application. Geriatric or special needs? My childhood dog was blind and diabetic. Fearful or anxious pet? I get it, I’m patient and understand animals need their space and time to gain your trust. I have a degree in wildlife biology, am a licensed falconer, and worked in retail pet care all through college. Now? I have plenty of pets of my own, reptiles, birds, mammals, and an amphibian too. I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule will hopefully change soon— but for now I’m happy to help take care of your pets as I’m free. Which is often. I’m willing and able to do drop ins on the weekends or late at night with fair warning or advance notice! Not the best early morning person, but I have plenty of my own animals that need am care— so I’m plenty capable of that too. I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Observant and patient, empathetic and gentle. I’m more than comfortable cleaning messes, handling high stress situations, and will do my best to keep your pets loved and comfortable in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alvin
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Alvin is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 3,670 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
