About: I have 6+ years of pet-sitting experience, veterinary technician training, and professional kennel experience. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, farm animals, medications, injections, and canine CPR. I have a flexible schedule and offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I treat every client’s home with respect and every pet with patience and care. I follow their routine, instructions, medications, and safety needs while providing a calm, comfortable environment.
“Very happy with Sara’s service. She showed up on time and took great care of my 2 Great Danes, she kept me updated as well! Thank you for your help and I hope my big babies were good with you so you can come take care of them next time.”
“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”
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.
“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!”
“Madeline took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation for spring break! She was great about following the specific food diet and medication regime for one of our dogs. We received many pictures of happy and smiling doggos.”
“After I had to leave for a family emergency, Michelle was able to watch my dogs within hours, and did such a great job despite my lack of in depth instruction. My boys looked happy in every picture and knowing they were well taken care of gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to be present in my situation. I cannot thank her enough”
“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
About: I've owned dogs for over 20 years and have pet sat friend's and families pets over the years. I have experience with big and small dogs. I am a stay at home parent so I have all day and night to spend with your pup. They can cuddle up on the couch or go to their kennel and lay if they prefer isolation. We have a pool so if they like to swim we can definitely do that. We go on morning walks and sometime evening walks so your pup would be part of our pack and get some exercise. I will be more than happy to send you pics and updates during the stay. I have a fenced in yard with a pool if your dog likes to swim. I also have a fixed dog friendly dog your pup can play with. They will not be unsupervised during any play activity.

(I make sure to walk early morning or later at night when it’s hot). I am available any day and time. I am a stay at home mom and I do school on my laptop. I am ready to care for your furry friends. I had a dog for8 years that just recently passed away. He was the sweetest dog you will ever meet. We have a fenced in yard and three children.
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.

“My husband and I were traveling to Texas for a wedding and I needed a pet sitter for our 2-1/2 year old dog and 5 month old puppy. I found Wendy on Rover and was impressed by her reviews. They were right on! Wendy arrived on time and sent photos and text updates every hour. Our pups were well taken care of and sleeping soundly next to Wendy on the couch when we returned from the wedding. I would highly recommend Wendy and would not hesitate to book her again if we are in the area. Thanks, Wendy for taking such great care of our pups!!”

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Alvin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.

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.
