“This was our first time booking with Joel and he did an amazing job watching our senior lab dog and staying at our house. He also fed our bearded dragon for us which was appreciated! He was great at communicating and left everything so clean and spotless! We could tell our dog was well cared for 🥰”
“Camille and Jordan took great care of Cal, sent plenty of pictures, and did everything asked. Easy to enjoy the weekend away knowing the dog is in good hands.”
“Kaitlin did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She communicated well and was on time with the house sitting commitments. Thanks again & definitely recommend to others.”
“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide array of dogs, ranging in size and age. I also have experience working with dogs with disabilities and senior pups I coach youth students how to play a variety of sports for a couple different school districts. I provide dog services on a daily basis whether it walks or just playing with them. I do my best to get down the pups routine so they feel at home, even when their family is away. I’m respectful of boundaries toward both the family and the dog
“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Katy did a wonderful job caring for all of our animals and home during an extended trip! She took meticulous notes and cared for each pet as an individual. Absolutely will use again and highly recommend.”
“Alicja is everything you could hope for in a dogsitter! She is extremely knowledgeable, clearly cares for animals, and communicates frequently. I was worried about leaving our dog behind while we went on vacation because she has some behavior issues (leash reactivity & fence jumping), but Alicja knew how to handle her and even worked on some of her bad habits. We received updates, pictures and videos the whole time. We also loved that she was able to let her go potty during the day and stay overnight in our home. I can't recommend Alicja enough and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Leann did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs, one of which we adopted just 3 days before our trip and she was more than willing to take on a second dog! She helped him acclimate to our home and other dog and even taught him how to sit for us! She kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures and our house was very tidy when we came home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jamie and Brooke were absolutely incredible and the best house / pet sitters we have ever had!! They even went above and beyond and did the laundry for our towels!! They were perfect in every way! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous to say the least. But Jamie and Brooke eased our concerns immediately. And after difficulty with our flights and a family emergency, they stepped up and provided last-minute house / pet sitting for our pups, Frankie and Diego. Frankie and Diego absolutely loved Jamie and Brooke! They were so sweet and brought them pup-cups from Starbucks, and filled their kongs with peanut butter (their favorite). They gave us updates every time they were coming to and leaving the house, and let us know when they would be returning. We received daily pictures and videos that absolutely brightened our day. Jamie and Brooke are wonderful in every way, and I truly cannot recommend them enough to take care of your loved fur babies. Thank you again Jamie and Brooke! Frankie and Diego look forward for seeing you next time!!”
“Kari (and Maggie) are WONDERFUL, we felt so comfortable with having them watch our 2 pups at our house. She sent lots of photos and updates which helped us be able to enjoy our trip even more without worrying about them. Already planning the next time!”
“Arianna was an amazing dog sitter for our pup while we were out of town! She took buster on her daily runs and facilitated little adventures for him everyday. She is so thoughtful & would definitely recommend as a dog/house sitter!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets. I provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, overnight care, and personalized attention. Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. I keep my schedule flexible so I can dedicate time to walks, drop-ins, sitting, and providing consistent, dependable care for each pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions and routines closely, keep pets supervised and secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable.
“Beth was a fantastic sitter for our slightly wild but very loving pit-mix, Roxie. And our unusually friendly cat, Vegetable. She was extremely communicative and thoughtful sending us lots of nice pictures while we were out of town. Thank you Beth for taking such good care of Roxie and Vegetable (and our house!). I think Roxie is already looking forward to spending more time with you soon!”
“Sarah was PERFECT! Our dog can be very shy with new people and she moved at her pace and made her feel comfortable. Within a few hours they were best friends! She sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout the weekend. Additionally, Sarah went above and beyond to leave the apartment clean. You would have never known she was even there! We would absolutely book Sarah again and can’t thank her enough!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey and like you I absolutely love animals. I have been a pet sitter for over six years. In total I have 10 years total of caring for animals in a few other capacities. I have experience with reactive dogs and giving animals their medicine. During the week I’m busiest midday so won’t be available 10-2. However I’ll have flexibility before and after that timeframe. Weekends may vary but feel free to inquire. For overnights I can do Fridays and Saturdays for a 10-12 hour timeframe. The pet sitting services that I offer are for at the clients home. Any care given may vary depending on what the clients needs for their pet or pets.
“Sergio was a fantastic dog sitter for our 2 pups! He was communicative, nice and left our house spotless! We were so thankful to have him over the Thanksgiving holiday. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter to love on your pets. We would use his services again in a heartbeat.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellaire
Joel is amazing! We are grateful that we connected with him. Joel is an excellent communicator, while away we had daily updates with pictures. Upon return, our dogs were happy and I could tell they had been very well cared for. And, our home was probably left better than we left it! Evidence of a kind and conscientious soul. Thank you, Joel! You are the best!
Kaitlin did another fantastic job caring for our two French Bulldogs. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. She was dependable, communicative, and gave them plenty of attention. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Courtney was absolutely awesome with Bubba. We got pictures every day. She took him for many walks and we could tell he was well loved while we were out of town. She left the house clean and picked up. We will definitely be hiring Courtney again!! She is the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bellaire is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Bellaire 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 Bellaire 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 Bellaire 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.
