“Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!”
“Farah was super competent in taking care of Bean, and very accommodating and helpful as it was my first time booking on Rover and I didn’t really know what I was doing. Highly recommend!!”
“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”
“Nathalie did so amazing house sitting our two dogs and cat! We got tons of pictures throughout the stay, and she went above and beyond in making sure they were all comfortable and on schedule. Will definitely be reaching out again.”
About: Hey there reader! I’ve been taking care of animals what seems to be my entire life now, or at least since I was physically able to! It’s always come naturally to me, almost like a calling. I started dog sitting when I 15 years old and haven’t really stopped since, I’ve volunteered and worked at animal shelters throughout houston as well. I’ve fostered a Pom-Chi, Shepards, Pit-bull’s, Dobermans, no breeds, Bulldogs, and many more. As well as, full on caring for a 17 yr old senior pup, recently rescued a 99ib Dutch shepherd who lives in Alaska with my friend and last but not least my little sidekick Poe - a gray kitty! I can administer medicine, give baths, clip nails, shave paw pads, prove balanced human-grade canine safe meals, and most importantly making sure your buds feel comfortable & loved! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have the time and energy to focus on all the animals that need my care, I’m available throughout the week except I just need a heads up but my schedule is quite flexible. I naturally believe in gentle teaching, animals are far more intelligent than we seem to give them credit for so I like to stimulate their brains with small jobs they’d enjoy or playing games for treats. If your pup is trained I can also take them on hikes or provide fun exercises!
“Oceana is very reliable and attentive to detail. She took great care of our lab and home while we were away! I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting and all your pet care needs.”
“I had such a great experience with Sara! She went above and beyond from the very start—arriving early and keeping Roux happily distracted while I took care of some last-minute trip details. It made my departure so much less stressful.Throughout the stay, she sent thoughtful updates and pictures, which I really appreciated—it was such a comfort to know Roux was in good hands. She was extremely responsible, paid close attention to all the details about Roux’s routines, feedings, and medications, and really listened to everything I shared. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for a pets of my own, including 5 friendly dogs, birds, and a cat! I live in a neighborhood with a one-acre property and a fully fenced yard, so there is plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. Having so many different animals has made me very comfortable with different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, and care needs. I would love to provide a safe, loving environment for your pets whether they are boarding with me or I’m stopping by your home for drop-in visits. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I live on a one-acre property with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and get outside. I have 5 friendly dogs of my own along with my cat so caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable around animals and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: I have had a plethora of pups all my life in a variety of sizes; and everything from teacups to titans. I have also more recently (4yrs) been able to unleash my love for fur babies on kitties too! I also have experience pet and house sitting for many years. I have a teacup poodle named Nugget that loves playing with dogs and cats of all sizes. Though Nugget and I live in an apartment, it is quite large with an open floor plan and plenty of room for the zoomies. It is also a very pet friendly gated complex with plenty of grassy areas to run around and play, and only a few minutes from the dog park! It is also just a block away from an artisan pet bakery and a veterinary hospital. Just across the street from my complex is a beautiful neighborhood with picturesque tree lined sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. Nugget and I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share some pets and cuddles. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to work with you and your pet’s schedule for the best outcome for all. My teacup poodle, Nugget, and I love hosting furry friends. We have lots of treats and toys to share l, with your permission of course. Multiple walks take place each day, anywhere from 15mins to an hour, depending on the weather, and fresh water is always available. Pets are allowed on the furniture and multiple pet beds are available, but I understand if you and your pet prefer their own and/or their crate. The longest time pets would be left alone is 1-2hrs, but this rarely happens as I usually take them with me if the errand allows for it. I am also happy to care for your pup in your own home. Please just let me know what kind of routine you wish me to follow and I’ll be happy to oblige to the best of my ability. Please note, walks during drop-in visits will only be long enough for your heart up to take care of their bodily needs. These visits are for feeding, checking in on your animal, and socialization. If you would like the focus of the visit to be walking your pup, please book a dog walk, as opposed to a drop-in visit. Thank you.
“Provided excellent customer service and looked after my two cats. I can’t thank her enough for assisting me with looking after them. She went above and beyond by making sure the house was well maintained. I highly recommend”
“Mateo is the best! Our senior dog is so comfortable with him and Mateo is so responsive and great at sending updates. Always leaves the house incredibly tidy too. He is our #1 pick when it comes to having someone sit our dog.”
“Highly recommend Odeosa for both pet sitting and housesitting! Odeosa stayed at our house for a long weekend to care for our senior dog, Lily, and she was amazing! Super communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Odeosa took special care to administer our fur baby’s many medications each day, was mindful and patient with the many quirks of a senior dog, and she provided pictures and updates to us throughout (even created a collage of her weekend with Lily!). Lily got plenty of cuddles and time outside, and we came home to a very happy and healthy doggo. So glad we were able to find Odeosa on Rover - she’s now our first choice for a sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellaire
Jennifer took care of my two cats and one dog for 6 days. Our dog is very shy and needs to warm up to people but she won him over very quickly. She walked him as requested and kept everyone fed and happy. She also kept the house tidy upon my return. I recommend her and will use her again in the future.
Melissa is absolutely fantastic. She took great care of our baby and communicated thoroughly. She also asked additional questions throughout her stay, which I really appreciate. I feel like there are always things that one forgets to address in advance and it gives me the feeling that she is really paying attention and cares about our little guy. Sent regular pics and updates. So glad we found a reliable new friend for Mowgli 💖 We will definitely be booking Melissa again.
We had such a great experience with Sarah! I was so happy to see how quickly Maggie took to her and how much love, attention, and snuggles she gave her while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maggie was being so well cared for. Sarah also left our home just as clean and tidy as we left it, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily book her again!
Shirav took care of my cat for a week, and I really loved her help! She made an effort to find the right approach to my cat, and she absolutely succeeded. I’m sure my cat was happy while I was away. She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Excellent service. Sarah is the sweetest. We were traveling through Houston in a motor home and took in an Astros game. We were apprehensive about leaving Cali and Chloe, our two basset hounds alone. Sarah was perfect. If you are traveling and need a pet sitter, we can highly recommend Sarah

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!

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 .
