“Neysha and Teddy are absolutely the most amazing house/dog sitters we have ever had. They are two of the sweetest and most caring people you will ever meet. Neysha stayed with our home during a hurricane and a power outage and did it all while remaining the most calm and collective person. She gave our dog, Odin, the most amazing treats and toys and took the most amazing care of him during our vacation. We will 100% have them back and I’m sure Odin is counting down the days till they bring him more toys!”
“Maricarmen did a great job taking care of my dog while I went out of town. She sent lots of communication and pictures so I would know Bindy was ok. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to bok again”
“E-Irma did a great job of watching and house sitting for my two dogs while I was out of town. She provided me regular updates and pictures of my two dogs enjoying her company. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and I will look to use her again on my next trip.”
“Paige is awesome!!! My fur baby was not the least bit stressed when I got home like she is when I have had to kennel her. I got regular updates and my house was taken excellent care of. Being able to leave my little old lady in the care of someone who is kind and loving means so much to me ❤️”
“Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!”
“Becky and Joel took such great care of my baby! Having a disabled dog, I get so nervous leaving him. When I met Becky and Joel, I knew they would treat him with all of the care and kindness possible. And they did just that! I am so grateful to have someone I feel confident will love my baby just like I do. I will most definitely be utilizing their services again in the near future!”
“Jesika was the perfect fit! She was pleasant and accommodating from the initial meeting. She was attentive to detail and kept our furry creature happy and in a familiar schedule. Her communication was so appreciated. Jesika kept us informed about our pup’s day to day with photos and short narratives. We returned from our trip to a content pet and the house in order.”

“Kimberly was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She sent photos and lectures the house in perfect condition. Not only that but we hired her literally at the last minute and she made time to come do the walk through so we could all meet one another. We will absolutely book her again.”
“Keirstan is truly amazing! One of my dogs had just had surgery and needed daily vet visits for bandage changes. She handled it all without hesitation. She also took such great care of my other dog, who gets very anxious during bad weather. Keirstan was so calm and comforting with both of them. She went above and beyond every single day, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have experience caring for animals of different species, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also trained a service dog, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding canine behavior. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and paying attention to changes in their behavior, appetite, and activity. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop in visits, and dog walks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will communicate about scheduling to make sure their needs are met. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and give your pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alvin
Kimberly was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She sent photos and lectures the house in perfect condition. Not only that but we hired her literally at the last minute and she made time to come do the walk through so we could all meet one another. We will absolutely book her again.
Neysha is quite literally the only person, apart from my husband and I, who I trust to care for our elderly cat, Lily. She also does an amazing job caring for our other fuzzy babies (of which there are many 😂). But ultimately she cares for the things that are the most precious to us, and they adore her.
E-Irma did a great job of watching and house sitting for my two dogs while I was out of town. She provided me regular updates and pictures of my two dogs enjoying her company. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and I will look to use her again on my next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alvin on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,377 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Alvin 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 Alvin 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alvin. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
