“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Kujo. He adored her. I received daily photos and clear communication from her during the stay. We will definitely be back. ❤️”
About: I am 33 years old & a graduate of University of Houston. I live in the southeast part of Houston, Tx. I live in a two story house in a gated community with plenty walking space & that is also pet friendly with my parents & my dogs Chase & Callie! He's a pomeranian mixed with maltese as well as she is & they both are characters. Ive always had dogs from my childhood to now they are just a joy to have. I have dog sat for my friends & I get along well with all types of dogs no matter how big or small. My availability currently is completely open since im home for the summer & waiting to hear back from job opportunities. Most weekends im available unless my calendar says different. If you can't make it to my home, I would be happy to with no problem at all or if you prefer keeping your dog(s) at home to come to your home and help you out. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs throughout my whole childhood up till now. The only reason I can think of why we didn't keep them is either my family moved and one of our dogs was sick. I'm definitely a dog person I have an instant connection whenever I meet one because I love them so much, they are truly woman's best friend. About my yard No backyard but plenty grassy, walking space along the fences and at the parks. My experience administering medication Yes, I have to give my dog his pills when needed. As stated before im completely open. Dogs can go out as much as they need to & walked around the community as well. Play time, dog park or whatever needs to be fulfilled. Pets are allowed wherever in the home, furniture included. Your pets will definitely feel as if they have another home away from home. Whatever you do or dont do at your home is applied in mine.
“Lemuel was great! He came to watch our house and animals for a week and a half, and did a great job. We even have a couple dogs who don’t always get along and need some additional management and he took great care of that ensuring that everyone was happy and healthy while we were gone.”
“We absolutely loved Nadia!! She took amazing care of all 4 of our fur babies! She made sure to update us every step of the way and send us some cute pics! Our fur babies LOVED her! 1000% will rebook with her and would recommend her as a sitter to anyone! We are so thankful for the wonderful care over thanksgiving! Thank you again Nadia!”
About: In my family there are two loving pets. Max (Husky) is a large fluffy love button. Gambit on the other hand is a small protective and playful shih Tzu with the bounciest tail I have ever seen. They both keep me on my toes with active verbal communication, cuddles, and many slobbery kisses. I have an open heart and time schedule for any pup (adults and cats included) in need of a potty break or a good jog around the community. Additionally, I am willing to give baths and conduct vet visits if needed. As a former military personnel I take pride in being able to serve my community and provide safety to both human and furry residents of texas. I hope to meet all the wagging tails I can soon. I am a stay at home mom. Therefore I have all of the extra time for cuddles, walks, runs and so much more of course. My home is not currently set up to take on pets. As I live in an apartment and don’t feel comfortable with doing so just yet.
“Frida cared for my big scaredy-cat Luna in my home for three weeks, and I was very pleased with her performance. She is a very kind and caring pet sitter, and she knows cats. Some sitters think they only need to leave food and clean the litter box, but Frida understood that Luna also needed company. This was the most comfortable I've felt leaving my cat and home in someone's care. I came home to a clean home and safe and healthy kitty cat. I intend to use Frida's services again.”
“Nayeli was extremely thoughtful and attentive in caring for our dog while we were traveling. She sent daily updates with photos- we felt so confident leaving our house and pup in her care!”
About: I’ve had several pets over my entire life, and truly believe a pet makes a home. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and want to expand my care to your fur babies. I am only focused on cat-sitting 🐈⬛!! I have experience taking care of kitties, adult cats, and cats who require medication on a schedule. I am no stranger to a dirty litter box and will make sure that your cats have a clean space to do their business; sicknesses in cats can be caught early in the litter box so i’ll be very attentive to any abnormalities. *My calendar is updated frequently. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to your pet care needs, please reach out for any questions!! I have an open schedule, for weekdays and weekends. I am also available during holiday season. I have online college classes, but they do not require me to show up in person meaning I can be with your pets anytime! All cats are different, and their owners know them best, so I will follow your instructions and take care of your kitties the way you would! I will be respectful of you and your cat's home and will prioritize respecting your kitties' boundaries to hopefully establish a strong connection with them.
“Holy was amazing. She was extremely accommodating and was able to help me out at the last minute. She sent pics the entire time and I could not be happier with this experience. She really made me comfortable leaving the dogs home, where they are most comfortable. 10/10 would highly recommend.”
About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.
“We felt really comfortable leaving our home and pups with Reagan and we will be asking her to stay again! She communicated well, was punctual, and followed the instructions that we left. She sent pictures while we were away and we returned to happy pups and our home just the way we left it 😊”
About: Specialized in very active, medically needy, and or low energy fur friends of all shapes and sizes! Health, wellbeing, and tidiness have been my top priorities for my 15+ years of pet care!

About: Hi, I'm Tracy, a mother to a baby girl and a dog named Buster. Buster is a sweet and energetic dog who loves going for walks three times a day. I'd be happy to provide the same experience for your dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while keeping up with their usual routine. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, patience, and affection. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.
About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.
“Ariella was absolutely fantastic with our dogs and extremely personable throughout this process. She was attentive to their individual needs and quickly built a bond with them. She was proactive in her communication sending photo and text updates daily. We came home to find our dogs and house were incredibly well cared for and the trash was even taken out to the curb. We'll be recommending her to everyone.”
“Taylor was great! We were worried about leaving our cats for so long, but she kept us in the loop the entire time. One of our cats needs to be medicated twice a day and it seems like she was well taken care of. Very glad to have found Taylor.”
About: I’ve loved pets my entire life ! I’m a very trustworthy sitter who makes sure to give pets more TLC while reassuring pet parents along the way! I am currently self employed, so my schedule is very open! I’m also open to specific schedule accommodations and needs that make pet care easy and smooth. I am very accommodating to your pet and what they may need. I offer dog walking, quick check ins, and also overnight/weekend stays as well!
About: I am 32 years old and I have always had at least one dog/cat for as long as I can remember. I have always said yes to strays and brought them in to my home and loved them from the start. I'm a very big animal lover and treat them as my kids. I make sure they get the care and love they deserve. I've done drop in visits multiple times for family members when they go out of town. I'll stop and feed them and walk them. I currently work part time but my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for boarding on the weekends, during the week can be arranged sometimes. We I have a big fenced backyard with a pool that your pup can use & a 7y old Labrador with puppy energy to play with!
“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 😎😎😎”

I would highly recommend Adele! She has housesit our dogs for both a week-long vacation and again for a weekend trip (this time with an additional puppy as well!). My dogs were excited to see her again when she came back the second time. She was very communicative and sent photos from the day every evening. Both times, I came home to happy dogs and a clean house. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely hire her again!
Paris is absolutely wonderful and reliable! She kept Hudson comfortable and happy during our time away from home. She sent lots of pictures of Hudson, and Hudson really enjoyed her time with her. She was very thorough with Hudson’s care and left our home clean, which I’m very grateful for. I will definitely book with Paris again and I highly recommend her for your pet’s care. Thank you so much Paris for everything you have done!
We had an amazing experience with our sitter! She showed up five minutes early, asked tons of thoughtful questions to really understand Penelope’s routine, and even came for a meet-and-greet before the first visit. While we were at my daughter’s cheer competition, she took such great care of Penelope — she taught her “down,” Penelope had no accidents, and she sent me the cutest photo updates throughout the day. I felt completely comfortable and informed the whole time. Penelope adored her, and so did we. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brookside Village is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $67 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 Brookside Village 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 Brookside Village 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 Brookside Village 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
