“Did a great job taking care of my pups and was able to book last minute. Only thing I would have asked for her to differently is call me when my not so easy dog was to anxious to go outside and had multiple accidents in our apartment. But that is my fault for not specifying.”
“I have been booking house sitters for 7 years and Amanda is by far the best house sitter I have ever had. The communication. The care towards all my animals. The care towards my home. She was phenomenal!!!!!! I will only book through her going forward!”
“Camryn is a wonderful sitter and super sweet. I know I don’t have to worry about my dogs or my home when they are in her care, which means the world to me! I feel very blessed to have found a sitter I can trust with my fur children. Thank you, Camryn, for being amazing!”
“Gabriel was awesome! From first meet and greet, my dog was his biggest fan. Gabriel always sent updates, was very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to using him in the future!!”

I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or giving them plenty of affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I’m committed to providing reliable care while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and making sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for in a clean and secure environment. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
“Sophia was great! This was our first experience using Rover, and we felt fully comfortable having her stay at our house with our two large dogs. The dogs were well taken care of and in a good mood when we got back. We would definitely have Sophia back to watch them again!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of multitude of dogs and cats during my childhood until now. I’ve always had dogs since I could remember. Now I have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and a leopard gecko! I love having animals around and I truly enjoy taking care of them! I always make sure to ask questions to ensure that I take the best care of a pet. I am very patient when it comes to pets and I will do everything I can to take care of them! I am very flexible as I am nearing the end of school! I will work with your schedule & make sure your pet gets the care they need. I will make sure to follow all rules that are given. I will also ask any questions to ensure that we are on the same page for what is expected. I will also send updates and many pictures and videos to you! I will also make sure your pet is comfortable with me, I don’t want them to be stressed. That being said I will do everything I can to make them feel my love and care!!!
About: I’ve always had animals in the home. I absolutely adore them and love spending time with them. I have experience giving medications to dogs and specific feeding routines. I do work 8-3:30 most days besides weekends so I can be with the animals a lot and work a consistent schedule that allows me to be with the animals on a certain routine. I have a fenced in yard, with lots of shade. Lots of space in the backyard and inside of the home for the animals to explore.
“Ashley did an amazing job with my little best pal. He is full of anxiety but Ashley connected beautifully with him, was respectful of our home, and very thoughtful. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
About: Hi there, I'm Krystal, a genuine animal lover! I have an American Pit bull terrier about to be 8 years old and leopard gecko. I have a large yard and home with plenty of space for outdoor play, a few parks and a bayou nearby to take your fur baby out on a nice walk. I would prefer all pets to be house trained but its okay if they're pad trained. I work during the daytime and rotate care shifts with my hubs when I'm away so your fur baby will always have a set of eyes on them at all times. We are a team with pet sitting so your baby will always be in good hands! For overnight care, I'll be able to stay and care for your pet in your home as well while you're away. Any special requests can be accommodated. Do not be afraid to ask questions during a booking! Let me know when I can care for your pet! I’m always glad to help and be a care giver! I work part-time and have open availability. Dog parks visits are a favorite! Potty breaks are frequently given and walks as well unless otherwise discussed. Please keep in mind, due to extreme heat temperatures, your pet may be walked earlier/later than usual to prevent health concerns. I do offer a medium crate and separate eating/drinking tray for your fur baby! Shampoos and brushing available upon request during their stay and can be given if they do get dirty during their stay or outdoor/playtime.
About: I’ve have 10 years experience with dogs all sizes and temperaments so if you have just the loving dog who loves everyone or may be a little scared or shy with strangers I am your guy! I am currently working part time, so most days I’ll be available all day. Late nights or early morning and everything in between I will be there. I try my best to make the dog at home as much as possible. Stick with the same morning routine, feeding, walks! Same throughout the day as well!
“I’m selective to say the least when finding care for our fur babies, especially now that our 12-yr old pup has various health issues. Our baby girl requires insulin shots x2/day and needs to relieve herself every couple of hours. Did I mention she’s not a fan of said shots and stubborn to boot? And this is where Tory comes in to ease every worry and the crazy guilt we had about leaving her. She was an utter rockstar; I couldn’t have put together a more perfect dog sitter from scratch. Tory followed their routine to a T, and she provided consistent updates and pics. Her communication and quick responses were superb, bar none. And while 100% not expected at all, she cleaned the bed sheets and towels making our return home even less stressful. I want to keep her on retainer 😂 In all seriousness, she was a blessing and just what the doctor ordered for us to have a relaxing vacation while knowing our girls were well taken care of. We can’t give Tory enough praise ♥️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. I am a dog mom of 3 and ready to share the love. I house trained my pups and taught them fun tricks. I even make them special treats because they deserve the best. I work full-time M-F however I have access to my home throughout the day, every 2 hours and I am available on the weekends. I also have a significant other that will be around to assist with care when needed. Your fur baby will be in great hands with us. My pets are my children, I care for them with love always. I will provide that same care for your fur baby as well. I have a large yard for your fur babies to do zoomies. I take my dogs to the dog park biweekly and I’d be more than happy to have your pups join. Any instructions or special situations you request for your fur baby will always be followed and never judged or neglected. We are an animal loving home and will treat your fur babies as if they are our own when they are with us.
“From the first interaction through Rover, Eva was timely, professional, friendly, and thorough. She was a great a communicator and very thoughtful with my doggies. I could tell I would very much appreciate how attentive and interactive she was, with my pets as well as giving me updates while I was away. She had the initiative to ask detailed questions about my pets and took notes, offered to bring treats for them and even played with them outside. Since one my dogs has incontinence issues, she even brought items to protect my furniture. Overall, I am very pleased with Eva and encourage anyone to have confidence in booking with her. I look forward to rebooking with her myself.”

Kyra was the best dog sitter for Shiloh and Cam! She took such wonderful care of them and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were loved, well cared for, and happy. Kyra was reliable, communicative, went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. Thank you, Kyra!

FAQs for House Sitting - Baytown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Baytown on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,510 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baytown. 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 Baytown 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 Baytown 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 Baytown 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.
