“Kristin is the very best surrogate dog mom. She is always prompt, and takes great care of my fur babies! I can travel with peace of mind when she is taking care of my little ones.”
“Neysha responded impeccably to an emergency we had with our dog. She was quick to take her to the vet, communicate with me, and even went so far as to personally make chicken and rice to calm our dog’s stomach after the chaos. Even though I wish I could’ve been there, I couldn’t have asked for a better person taking care of my dog when I couldn’t. She really can handle anything you throw at her,”
“Madeline was so great with our two cats! I have never felt more peace about leaving our cats with someone before. She was thorough, she followed all instructions, and I loved all of the pictures she sent each visit! Her communication was great. Thankful to have found her!”
“Kimberly did a great job cat-sitting for us. We have three cats, one of whom is usually very shy. Even that kitty came out to say hello during Kimberly's visits! Kimberly also helped around the house - including washing the dishes!”
“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!”
“I can't say enough great things about Alexis! She was incredibly patient, kind, and communicative throughout the entire experience. She kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my pups and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and happy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. My pups loved her, and we will most definitely be booking with her again!”
“Holly did a great job cat sitting! She was very responsive and concerned with providing the best care possible, and I felt very safe leaving her to watch over my cat! 10/10 would book again”
“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!”
“Evan was fantastic! Super kind, detailed in her daily assessment of my cat, and left my place just as she found it. My cat really enjoyed his time with her as well!!! Super thankful for Evan!”
“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!”
“I was pleased with the service. I felt she genuinely cared for our fur baby. I will use Jessika again for future times. Our fur baby was happy and that is what we hoped for. I would recommend Jessika and Rover.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy. She was happy and healthy when my husband got home. Appreciate you!!!! Reliable and gets along with a spoiled Dashound. Not an easy task!”
“Dana was very attentive. She even brought in the mail. I could tell from the pics she sent that my kitty was calm and relaxed with her. I will definitely schedule her again!”
About: With a deep passion I have dedicated myself to caring for dogs in various capacities. My experience includes volunteering at local shelters where I provided companionship, exercise, and basic care to dogs in need. I have also honed my skills in managing diverse breeds by taking them on dog dates, ensuring they receive the socialization and mental stimulation they require. Additionally, I have fostered dogs through the app rover program, providing a loving temporary home until they find their forever families. My commitment to their well-being extends beyond basic needs, focusing on creating a nurturing environment that promotes their physical and emotional health. I am currently studying to take my state board exams as an esthetician. I’m just trying to have some money to afford my state board exams. I have a dog name snowball, i’ve had him since I was 7. I have been raised with dogs my whole life. They make me happy and truly grateful. How I care for others & my own dog is with love, care and respect. I will always respect their home and the clients home, by never leaving it a mess if one is made.
“Mia is absolutely great. She is my first sitter and the only one I will use. Her patients with my two pups was great and when I say pups to me they are. However one 136lb CORSO and 56lb PIT TERRIER MIX. She just fit in with them without any issues. Mia. Thank you again. I will be calling you again soon”
“She’s been an amazing cat sitter! She’s always on time, takes great care of my cats and is super attentive. I really appreciate that she keeps me in the loop with regular updates and photos which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she genuinely cares and I always know my cats are in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

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 for Pet Sitting in Alvin on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,815 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
