“This is the second time we used Dani to stay in our apartment and take care of our dogs. She is very responsible and I am confident our boys are in great hands.We already have it planned for Dani to stay again when we are away.”
“Jennifer was INCREDIBLE with my fur babies. Lots of communication, which I love. Tons of pictures. This was a short trip we went on so it was a good introduction of our babes to a stranger staying with them. Jennifer has already asked to come back and see them. They are such a fun loving group. We would definitely use Jennifer again in the future 😎😎😎”
“Jayla was excellent with Patience. She was attentive and responsible. Patience had to take medication and due to that medicine, he had to relieve himself more than usual. Of course, this created more work for her. I really appreciated her diligence. I would definitely use her again in the future. Pat A.”
“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.”
“Tony is an amazing pet sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He took care of my 2 pups and had me at a complete peace of mind while on vacation. He was extremely caring for them, very communicative, gave me daily updates with photos, and he kept my place so clean! 5/5 pet service.”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Kendall! She came over beforehand and met both of our dogs and was immediately beloved (even by our shy pup). She spent the whole day with them and made sure to update us periodically and send some pictures. We came home to a totally spotless house. Can’t wait until next time! Otto and Tex love her already!”
“Look no further!! Markierra was absolutely amazing! She took very good care of Chancelor, my grieving 3-year-old Shih tzu as we had just lost my Cocker spaniel Amari, his big brother who was almost 16 years old. My 3-year-old Chancelor had never been alone by himself and was very clinging and sometimes anxious. She was always very attentive to him and took him out a lot to play and walk in the street which he absolutely loves. She was very good with him during this sensitive time in our lives. That meant a lot as I was concerned to leave him so soon after our loss. She also took a lot of pictures and was very Communicative, during my time away which is very important to me. She even did something that no other sitter has ever done and that was to wash the linen off the last day. I was super duper pleased and so was Chancelor!! You will be too!”
“Sara house- and dog-sat for our two dogs during a 2-week trip abroad. It was the longest we've been away from our dogs and we were nervous about leaving them for so long, but Sara was fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She communicated very well throughout the trip and when we returned home the dogs were and happy and healthy and the house was exactly as we'd left it. We'll absolutely use Sara again and recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting or pet care.”
“Diamond was punctual, communicative, friendly, and caring with our dogs. Everything was left clean, and they seemed to be very happy with her. We highly recommend her service. She she lots of pictures and seemed to love them like her own!”
“Farah was amazing with my 3 big dogs. She was actually able to walk them every day! They have big personalities but she did a great job keeping them calm. She also provided tons of updates so I always knew they were doing ok.”
“Gladiola was great! Very communicative, reliable, and great with my cat and dog. I got loads of pictures, regular updates, and both pets were well taken care of. I'd be happy to have her petsit again next time I'm out of town.”
“We could not be more pleased with Geneva! She did a great job for us and Ted and we intend to use her again. She was very professional, courteous, communicative, and timely. We were impressed!”
“I have never had such a great cat sitter in my life! She spent so much time with my pets, spent the night, and left my place spotless! Priya is extremely communicative and intelligent. She also managed a handoff of my dog with his boarding rover sitter while my flight was delayed. She’s the best!”
About: I’ve had pet care experience since I was 10! Since then, I have had numerous experiences with pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I currently have my sweet calico, who is pictured first! I additionally had a dog and two cats in my apartment via one of my roommates for the past 2 years! I adore spending time with dogs & cats whether that’s sitting on the couch or exercising outdoors. I am currently a Commercial Real Estate Agent at Keller Williams Memorial which takes up a few hours of certain days, so other than that I am completely free for your pet and its needs!! I work well with just about everything! Whether all you have is the basics for your pet or they require or simply enjoy something extravagant, I am completely excited to care for them.
“We had an amazing experience with Sarah. She took excellent care of our precious pets, making sure they had daily walks and hugs and special treats. In addition, Sarah helped us so much by watering our container plants daily to keep them alive in the Houston heat. On a special note, when I had to undergo an emergency appendectomy while on vacation, Sarah was wonderfully compassionate and reassuring. She provided daily updates with photos and constantly reassured us that there was nothing to worry about at home and to just focus on healing from my health Emergency. We will definitely book Sarah for future trips and would recommend that you do too. Thank you Sarah!”
“Stephanie was so wonderful with my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures and let me know everything she was doing. It’s so appreciated when you leave your babies at home with someone new. She also left my home probably cleaner than I left it which was very sweet and thoughtful. I would definitely use Stephanie again.”

Ruth did a fantastic job dog-sitting our two dogs and taking care of house while we were out of town for several days. She did a great job communicating and sending updates. We knew the dogs were in great hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely look to have her stay at our home for future trip!

Kathleen is great. We had her watch Caesar for 3 weeks during an international trip; after doing a meet and greet with her, we were confident he would be in good hands. We returned to a happy, healthy boy. She was both independent and communicative throughout the stay - sending pics as well. We also came back to a home perhaps cleaner than we left it. She went above and beyond; it was clear our space was cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out to her first next time we need a sitter!
Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!
Jill was fantastic, she took great care of my dog! So happy to have found her, she will be my go-to sitter for the future! Thank you, Jill, for your excellent care and communication. It means the world to be able to relax and know that my senior dog is in trustworthy hands while away.
Marlene was wonderful! I highly recommend booking with her! She took care of everything in my home while I was away and my kitties loved her. I am always a little anxious about leaving my babies but she is very trustworthy and handled it all. I really appreciated the sweet photos and updates, and came home to a clean house - she even did the laundry which was not at all expected! We love Marlene and will absolutely book with her again!! Thank you so much!
grant was hands down the most incredible pet sitter i've ever tried ever! he was so good at communicating quickly especially with me being in the virgin islands where service is only available in certain areas. not once while i was on vacation did i have to worry about my pup because i knew he was in good hands. grant even last minute excepted to watching my pup for 2 more days due to a flight delay. grant is who i will use anytime i need a sitter. my concierge was even telling me that zeus looked so happy while in his care PLEASE make sure to take the opportunity and book if he has open availability, you will not be disappointed
Naomi always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are well cared for while we are away. She provides structured routines, lots of love, sends plenty of updates and videos! She is also very well rounded in her knowledge and handling of all types of dog temperaments and needs; our two pups have very different care requirements (ie one with medical needs and one is a young dog with a lot of energy) and she always does a fantastic job with them both! I would highly recommend her! (-:
Daniela was such a blessing! From day one she was very responsive and professional. I made her come to my house twice for meet and greet because i have two Dobermans and i needed them to get familiarized with her before my trip. She accomodated my last minute changes and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My dogs are very high maintenance and extremely velcro so i was worried it would be too much for Daniela but nope! Got so many pictures and updates that i didnt worry about my doggos (or my house) while i was on vacation. She went above and beyond and left the house even cleaner than how i left it. Even gave freyja a bath. Not ever booking with anyone else other than her :) happy with my first ever rover experience and very thankful i found her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bellaire on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,005 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.

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
