“Kristen is a great pet sitter. She did exactly as my husband and I asked for our fur babies and she was prompt with her visits and posted lots of pictures and updates. We did a meet and greet introduction with our pets and Kristen before we went on vacation and it seemed like a good match. After the vacation we are just convinced we will not be using a boarding service away from home again because of the super job performed by Kristen. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again and in fact already have!!”
“This was my first time using Jeremy to watch my two dogs and he was fantastic! Jeremy was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. One of my dogs can be a little nervous around new people, but Jeremy did well with him! I will definitely use Jeremy again for future dog sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals, both personally and professionally for more than 30 years. I’ve worked closely with trainers, vets and clients to learn and properly care for a variety of animals and their humans. I am partial to large breeds, but will cuddle and play with all paw sizes. I’m completely comfortable with giving meds, going to vet appointments, special needs, etc. I’m a reliable pet/ house sitter, as I treat both as they’re my own. After many years of opening restaurants, traveling as a consultant and managing an exclusive resort clubhouse, my primary job is now organizing homes/ offices and often people’s lives. From pets to meal preparation, holiday shopping and home decor, I can help make your life easier! Recommendations available upon request. My full time job is currently on hold, so I have open availability at the moment. Let me help make your life easier and your pets happy I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as it’s far less stressful for them. I treat all pets and homes as if they are my own
“Kimberly is so fantastic! I almost don’t want to say how good she is so no one else steals her! She took all the time it needed to get to know our very particular German Shepherd and now I’m pretty sure our dog likes her more than me! She took her for walks, brushed her, played fetch and gave her lots of love! She was also very sweet to our two cats. Highly recommend Kimberly for anyone who wants their fur babies well taken care of! She truly does treat them like they’re her own. Thank you Kimberly!!”
“Paige is a very nice person and so is her husband. From what I have experienced, she truly does love taking care of animals. My little lady took to her right away. I initially had hired Paige to house/pet sit for me but unfortunately had to cancel and she was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. I was also impressed with how prepared she was to ask all the right questions to prepare for the job. I have used her since and was nice to feel comfortable leaving my girl in her care. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alvin on Rover is $20 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,854 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alvin. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
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.
