“Stephanie took great care of my cats while I was away. She was able to follow all instructions I left about picking up and dropping off the keys and fob, and gave me plenty of daily updates. I’d greatly recommend her services!”
“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“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.!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful. Our boys love their time with Heather! Always good to have the peace of mind that our pups are well cared for. Excellent communicator and takes the best care of our dogs. She stayed in our house several nights and it is cleaner than when we left!”
“This is my first time trusting someone to care for Blu. Amanda exceeded ALL of my expectations. I believe that dogs can sense souls of people that they meet, and Blu ADORED Amanda! She was so gentle and sweet with him. She was attentive to his needs and asked plenty of questions about the care she needed to provide. She sent frequent check-ins and pictures. If you want the best in care for your pup, she is your first choice! 10 stars! Thank you Amanda!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Elmer! From the moment we connected, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos of my cat and dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he take wonderful care of my pets, but he also went above and beyond by looking after my home. When I returned, the house was even better than when I left it—clean, organized, and clearly treated with care. Elmer is truly one of a kind: trustworthy, responsible, and 100% reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He’s the best!”
“Jenny is amazing with are pups. She takes great care of them and treats them as her own. She is our go to! We love the way she loves our dogs and we always feel safe whenever we have to travel because we know she will take care of them😊”
“Neysha is quite literally the only person, apart from my husband and I, who I trust to care for our elderly cat, Lily. She also does an amazing job caring for our other fuzzy babies (of which there are many 😂). But ultimately she cares for the things that are the most precious to us, and they adore her.”
“Emma was wonderful with my dogs, she took my booking on short notice which was a huge help. She was very punctual, communicated clearly and consistently, and sent pictures, which I really appreciated. My dogs really liked her, and she handled everything with care, efficiency, and responsibility. I have a multi-dog household (4), so it means a lot to find someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and comfortable stepping in--she handed everyone like a pro. I’m very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her. Thank you Emma!”
“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 always been an animal lover! My family and I began volunteering with the Houston Humane Society when I was young, and not long after, we started fostering animals—primarily dogs of all ages. Over the years, we’ve fostered more than 60 animals, each with their own personalities and needs. I also rescued a cat and cared for him until he found his forever home. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walking throughout the week and can be fully attentive to your pet’s needs during that time. I also work remotely part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and consistent companionship for your pets. I’m extremely vigilant, responsible, and respectful when caring for pets in a client’s home. I make it a priority not only to care for the pet, but also to treat the home with the same respect I would expect in my own space. I carefully follow any schedules, routines, and instructions provided to ensure your pet feels comfortable and everything runs as smoothly as possible. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I’m very mindful about making sure both your pet and your home are well cared for.
“Ariel was fantastic! We were a little worried with one of our pups having recently gotten stitches, but it didn't impact Ariel at all. It was clear she took care of both our pups and the house. (I think our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it!) Ariel was VERY respectful, communicative, and I would not hesitate to recommend! We've already rebooked her for our next trip!”
“Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼”
“Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!”
“Stacey was absolutely incredible and is now our go to when we need to leave our dog alone. She arrived early and left late making sure he was fully taken care of. Our dog is a new puppy, barely trained with excessive energy. I would love to keep her to ourselves but recommend her for absolutely any dog!”
“Let is very responsive and communicative. She is a considerate dog sitter and house sitter. We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. Our shy senior dog has to go out often and takes meds but he was well taken care of. Let is very kind and we would absolutely use her services again.”

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!
Bryiel is an excellent sitter! We have two dogs, one of which is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin. I searched for someone with experience and the willingness to meet this need. Our other dog is a rambuntious young pit. Bryiel came over a few weeks early to meet the dogs and discuss the arrangements. They fit in well together. I was very anxious about leaving them with someone for an entire week, but Bryiel always responded to my questions and regularly sent pictures, videos and texts about the dogs. We returned home to two happy, healthy dogs. What more could you ask for? If you are looking for a caring, responsible, knowledgeable person to watch your dog (I can't speak for other pets), I wholeheartedly recommend Bryiel. I would not hesitate to use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brookside Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brookside Village on Rover is $33.3 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 3,384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brookside Village. 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 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 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
