About: I've taken care of dogs & cats since I was 5 years old. I was responsible for the care of our family pets including a pig, goat & chickens. Friends and family have asked me to help with their pets when out of town, etc. I am comfortable administering oral medication to dogs & cats. I'm retired, so will have lots of availability to love and care for your pets. I am available day and night. If there are any conflicts I will do my best to work with your schedule. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I will be very careful coming in and out of an owner's home and follow any guidelines given.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, caring for pets of all kinds for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime to staying with pets for weeks at a time while their families are away. I’m a huge animal lover (I always joke that I love dogs more than people 😂), and I have two of my own babies! I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time hairstylist with the flexibility to create my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I’m consistently available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can schedule breaks throughout my workday when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays, so your pets can have plenty of company and care while you’re away! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates for a little extra peace of mind! I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all kinds for about 5 years. I have 3 cats, 1 dog, and 3 birds. I have watched/ taken care of family members and neighbors animals. I work full time 7a-7p 3 days a week. Usually Sunday-Tuesday occasionally Wednesdays. So I am available towards the end of the week and some Sundays! I am able to come to your home and care for your pets however you need. Feeding, walking, lovins, or just an occasional check in to make sure they are okay.
“Jennifer is a blessing. She is the only person I ever want to hire to watch my dudes! They freaking love her and she takes such good care of them every time. Every time I get home they are like hey nice to have you back but umm don't you need to take another trip? Jennifer I'm sure would watch us.”
“Kelly was awesome! I can't even say enough good things about her! She stayed with our 3 basset hounds while we went out of town for a week. She is great at communicating and kept in touch with pictures and videos while we were gone. She took great care of our home and dogs while we were on vacation, and took away our worry of having to leave our babies. We arrived home to happy pets and a clean home! We will definitely be using her for our future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had had family dogs and taken care of others dogs off and on. Willing to work around your dogs needs! If you have any concerns don’t hesitate to reach out. I do work part-time and go to college full-time. I pet sit in my free time to pay for tuition. I will be graduating with my associates this fall. I have a fenced in back yard. My neighborhood has sidewalks and safe pathways. This also includes a dog park. There are no cats or dogs inside my current home.
“Many thanks to Paula. She took great care of our pets. Our dog had his walks, and our reclusive cat came out to be petted. The house looked great also. We would happily recommend her to care for your fur babies and your home. Thank you so much!”
“Kayla took amazing care of my two dogs. She was super responsive to messages and any questions I had about how the girls were doing. She also took great care of my house, leaving it in amazing condition. Would definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I spent a few years working at an animal hospital. I am able to administer both oral medication and insulin. I had a diabetic dog myself and gave him insulin shots twice a day for four years. I am also very good with cats and know how to take care of chickens. Animals are my passion. My life revolves around animals. Taking care of my animals is basically what my life is about. I am big in to animal activism; animals are my life. They will be treated like family! I know how to take care of animals properly and keep them safe. I always feed dogs separately and watch them when they go outside.
“House and dog sitting. Olivia is kind and friendly. Pets were loved and cared for. Pictures and updates were provided. Needs some improvement on following instructions and home care.”
“Jaden was amazing. Took great care of my furbabies which gave me peace of mind. She answered all my questions and sent me updates throughout her stay. Definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a lifelong pet person and the full-time caregiver for our own crew of four dogs and three cats — including two seniors (10 and 11), a French Bulldog, a very busy puppy, and a Bengal cat. Caring for animals isn't a side gig for me; it's my every day. I give medications on schedule, follow feeding routines to the letter, do vet runs when needed, and I've handled post-surgery care at home — cone duty, wound checks, keeping a healing dog calm and comfortable. I know French Bulldogs and other flat-faced breeds need extra care in Texas heat, and I know senior pets need patience, routine, and a soft voice. When I house sit, your home is treated with respect and your pets keep their normal routine in their own space — usually less stressful for them than boarding. You'll get photo updates every day, because I know exactly how much it helps to see your babies doing fine while you're away. I'm based in Arlington and especially love holiday stays and longer sits. Message me — I reply fast, and I'm happy to answer questions or set up a meet-and-greet. Hi everyone Im Melanie,, I'm new here trying to get established. First and foremost I love animals always have and they are special and I cherish all of them. I believe each one is unique and special. I am former military so I am detail oriented discipline but yet also kind and caring I'm new here trying to get establish as well. You may ask me any information you would like to know about me at ring questions you have I'll be happy to answer My rates are flexible the ones you see on here are not set in stone I am definitely willing to negotiate. Especially for first-time clients. I'm willing to do overnights long-term or short-term drop-ins walks or anything else you might need around the house as well. I'm relatively flexible with a schedule. As long as I'm giving the details of times and dates that are needed and what is expected of me. I more than happy did you overnights extended stays or just check-ins every now and then. Long-term short-term it doesn't matter as long as we're both on the same page it's great. I would treat all in any animals and pets that are in my care like they are my own. In my own house I make sure my pets are loved cared for safe drive warm and happy. I'm also very great with any special needs you might have with a particular pet such as anxiety medication or any disability they may have.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brazos Bend
Katherine sat with our 3 Pembroke Welsh Corgis for 6 days in September 2026. She stayed at our home in Pecan Plantation. She was great with communication and sent daily pictures of the dogs. We have puppy to senior and she could easily handle them all. The dogs didn’t skip a beat during our absence. I believe she was a calm confident presence for them. And she left our house in great shape.
We were so fortunate to find Robyn! Our pet family took up with her while we were on vacation. Robyn was a blessing to find. We needed someone with whom our pet family felt comfortable with, and someone who had the flexibility to be at our home a considerable amount of time. Robyn meet and exceeded all of our criteria and expectations. We enjoyed receiving updates and pictures and the overall feeling that everything was taken care of. I will most definitely hire Robyn again as well as recommend her to others. Thank you Robin!

The average cost of House Sitting in Brazos Bend is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 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.

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 Brazos Bend 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 Brazos Bend 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 Brazos Bend 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.
