“Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Luke contacted us every day with wonderful and detailed updates on all four of our dogs. Our home was clean and the bed stripped when we returned home which was wonderful. If our crazy dogs didn't scare Luke and Rachel away, we will definitely have them stay with our zoo again!”
“Norah was very attentive and wanted to make sure she was giving our pets the best care while we were gone. She was so friendly, organized and thorough in understanding any needs our pets had.”
About: I’ve always connected with animals, dogs in particular have truly been the best friends of my life. Their love, curiosity, and genuine spirit is a magnet to me. I am patient and kind, and have good intentions, dogs pick up on that and trust me quickly. I work full time as a handyman, and have a passion for the outdoors, and animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to help others with their pet care needs. I’m happy to come to your home and help with any pet care needs. I currently rent, so unfortunately I’m not able to have animals at my home.
“Emma did an AWESOME job! She kept us updated with pictures and our cat who never trusts anyone was totally content and happy with Emma and hung out with her all weekend. One of our dogs has to take medication and Emma was very professional and had all the medical stuff under control. Emma did a fantastic job and we will absolutely ask her to watch our two dogs and cat again!”
“Jaci did a great job house/pet sitting! When I returned home, my house was clean and my cat was happy! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Anna was fantastic. This was our first time having anyone stay with Griffin and it all went so well. He’s got separation anxiety, so we needed to figure out how to make things easier on him and Anna was a wonderful solution! She was engaged and comfortable with him right away, and he’s a big dog, so that was good to see. She also sent period reports and photos, so we knew things were going well. We’re excited to have her back and have already booked our next Rover gig with her.”
“This was our first time using Keely, but it won’t be our last! She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. The dogs seemed to really like her. She provided good updates and photos. House was like we left it when we returned. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Rylan was great! She really helped us out when we needed someone last minute, replying quickly and being flexible! She took great care of Frankie, following our recommendations and sending updates throughout the day.”
“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!”
“Lisa was great and the pets were so happy! She sent tons of pictures and updates and I knew they were being well cared for which meant I could relax and enjoy my trip. Would definitely recommend Lisa and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!”
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
“AMAZING!! Alicja is the most wonderful, caring person! This was our first time using a sitter in our home for our dogs. Alicja gave them so much attention, lots of activity morning and night, and plenty of snuggles. She sent photos and videos every day and kept us updated on everything that was happening. Can’t say enough about how secure we felt in the care they were receiving while we were gone. Highly recommend Alicja! We will definitely use her in the future and recommend to friends.”
“Shawnda house sat for our two dogs and left our puppies happy and home spotless. She was an incredible care taker. 10/10 would recommend to anyone searching for someone to stay with their fur babies.”
About: I have had pets in my life since childhood! I grew up in a busy home full of different animals (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, bunnies, birds, etc.) and have cared for animals of all different ages and abilities. I also have experience volunteering at an animal clinic. I work hybrid so am available every day except tuesday’s and wednesdays during the day. I am available any night overnight and on weekends too. I adjust my care based on the fur babies need. If they are more active, I am able to do walks often, but if they are older, I am happy to lounge around! I am used to working on a feeding schedule so strict feeding/medicine schedules are no concern for me.
“Ava is a go to for us! She takes such great care of our 2 labs, Lola and Daisy. Ava shares photos and communicates well. She takes care of things at the house when needed. We really appreciate Ava being our go to.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bellaire is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellaire
This was our first time using Rover and Erin was wonderful! She took great care of our boy Jax, as he can get very anxious being left alone but he warmed up to her quickly! She was very communicative with updates and pictures, which helped reassure us that Jax was being well taken care of. We would definitely have Erin watch Jax and house sit again!
Kaitlin was amazing. She took care of our two French Bulldogs and was very attentive and communicative, incredibly professional, and you can tell she really cares about animals. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.
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!
Ella did amazing with our dogs this weekend. One of them unexpectedly became afraid to go in our back yard the week we were supposed to go to a wedding. Worst timing. Ella was patient and understanding and so gracious with a situation which was certainly more than she (or we) bargained for as this has not been typical behavior with him. Add on top of this, he can be difficult to push past any nervousness if you aren’t his people. Absolutely would recommend and we would not hesitate to ask her to watch the creatures again if she ever agreed to come back once we have this fear of the back yard figured out 😅

FAQs for House Sitting - Bellaire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bellaire on Rover is $49.95 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 3,373 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bellaire. 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 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.
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 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 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.

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.
