“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.”
“Brandon was communicative and knowledgeable about dogs needs. I appreciate him taking the time before his stay so he could meet Mabel and get to know her! He took her on lots of walks and she got lots of love while we were gone.”
“This was the first time I’d booked a house sitter to look after my anxious cat while on vacation. Nicole was so communicative and sent pictures every day as I requested. I came home to a spotless apartment and a very happy, relaxed cat! I’d rebook with her in a heartbeat. Thanks Nicole!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Olivia! Before our trip, she was very flexible and willing to meet with us a few times to make sure she was a good fit for Rio and that everyone felt comfortable. She was also very proactive about communicating her work schedule and setting clear expectations for when she would be home with Rio. While we were away, Olivia kept us updated on how Rio was doing and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated! She also took great care of our home, and we came back to everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, it looked like Rio had a great time with her! Olivia exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely love to have her stay with Rio again for our next trip.”

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

About: My name is Kaitlyn & our family has a laid back 65lb pup named Lily(7) and a friendly high energy pup named Tater. We would love to welcome your dog to stay with us while your away! I foster dogs while they are looking for fur-ever homes so we are no stranger to other pups spending time here and showing them patience and love while they get acclimated. I have experience fostering nine 6 week old puppies, 3 year old dogs, Caring for elderly dogs with additional needs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Our dogs eat raw food and I am very familiar with nutrition, supplementing, and holistic health so I am prepared to either help your dog stick to their raw diet, any other diet you've chosen for them, or giving medications/supplements as needed. We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard on a 1.5 acre lot so you can be assured they are getting plenty of exercise while your away as well! I only work 2 days in the office and we like to spend a lot of our free time outside. We love hiking + have hiked throughout MN, SD, CO, UT, FL, and lots of places in between. We have lots of trails left to cover, and would love your pup to join us! I currently work 2 days a week, and my husband has flexible hours. We balance our schedules to ensure your dogs needs are met. If they are not barkers, they are also welcome to come with me to my office! We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard - we always supervise time in the yard, and every gate is locked with a padlock that only my husband & I have the code for. We also have a dog room and kennel run so if your dog wants extra unsupervised time outside, they are welcome to use the doggy door to access the 10x10 dog run. We kennel our dogs overnight while we can't keep an eye on them. We have plenty so no need to bring your own :)
“Amber did a great job taking care of Joe and Riley when I was gone for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and kept me up to date. I could tell when I got home that they were happy and the house was left exactly as I left it. Will definitely book with Amber again!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellaire
Reilly was very communicative. She sent updates and pictures which were awesome to have when we were away. Our puppers really took to her and seemed to really enjoy her company. I would recommend her to anyone that wants their babies week taken care of when they are away.
Téa makes us feel so much better about leaving our pups behind while we are away. She is very thoughtful about sending us updates and is super responsive with her communication. I can tell she really prioritizes our dogs’ needs by the level of care she gives and the amount she goes above and beyond for them!
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 November 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
