“Did a great job making my dogs comfortable. I have 2 big dogs and it was not a problem for Gabriel. Gabriel followed instructions, kept me updated, and went above & beyond. Will definitely book again!”

“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!”

About: I've taken care of all types of animals from huge ones like horses to teeny tiny ones like parrots. I love all types of animals!! :) I am a full time college student and have a full time job so mostly just brief visits that last no longer than a few hours. I love cuddling and playing with animals, and I will make sure to attend to their every need. If there are special instructions I will make sure to carry those out to my best ability.

“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a proud dog mom to three mini schnauzers, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies who need structure and play, and senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and quality time with pets, so I can give them consistent attention and care. I truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I stick to each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I currently have three cats of my own, including one that I rescued and bottle-fed from just two weeks old. Raising a kitten from such a young age taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and understanding the unique needs of animals at different stages of life. I grew up around both large and small dogs and am comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided dog and cat sitting services for friends, family, and pet owners, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their routines and feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats as well. I have cared for ferrets, sugar gliders, fish, and turtles, giving me confidence in following specialized care instructions and meeting the needs of a variety of animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or simply a caring and dependable presence, I am committed to providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets I currently work a full-time schedule four days per week from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am off on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which allows me to provide flexible availability for pet care during those days. On my workdays, I am typically available for morning drop-in visits before 7:00 AM and evening visits after 6:00 PM. On my days off, I have full availability for drop-in visits, extended care, overnight stays, and more flexible scheduling to best meet your pet’s needs. I am committed to working with pet owners to find a schedule that ensures consistent, reliable care and keeps pets comfortable and supported while their owners are away. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I believe this helps reduce stress and anxiety, especially for cats and other animals that are sensitive to change. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for both the pet and the home. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as provided and take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, personality, and boundaries. I make sure doors, windows, and any potential escape points are secure during each visit, and I carefully monitor pets during playtime and interaction. I also keep the home tidy by cleaning litter boxes, food areas, and any pet-related messes as needed. During overnight stays or extended care, I maintain a calm and consistent presence to help pets feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while treating every pet and home with the same level of respect and responsibility as I would my own.

“My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗”


About: I’ve spent over 7 years pet sitting, but honestly, I’ve been a pet person my whole life. Having raised multiple pets of my own, I know they aren’t just 'animals', they’re family members with their own quirks and personalities. I’m an active person who loves staying fit, so I’m always happy to take your dogs on long walks to keep them healthy and tuckered out. I am also very mindful when it comes to the details; whether it’s a strict medication schedule or a specific way their food needs to be prepared, I’ve handled it all before and take those responsibilities seriously. Beyond the basics, I have a really soft spot for pets who might be a little anxious or stressed when their humans are away. I’m naturally gentle and patient, so I’m happy to take things at their pace until they feel safe and comfortable. I also make it a point to keep your home tidy and send you plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (or how many naps!) your best friend is having while you’re gone I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which honestly works out perfectly for pet sitting. It gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets during the day. I’m usually wide open for boarding on the weekends and available every weekday after 2pm for walks or drop-ins. Your pet definitely won't be lacking for attention or playtime while they're with me! When I’m staying in a client’s home, I’m a big 'leave it better than I found it' kind of person. I take the trust you’re putting in me seriously, so I’m super diligent about double-checking locks, following alarm codes, and respecting your space. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly the same so they don't get stressed; plus, I’ll make sure the house stays tidy and secure while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Channelview
Alett was an awesome pet sitter! She spent a ton of time throughout the day with our senior dog, and I was happy to receive the update pictures/videos while we were away. Alett was responsive to our messages and asked questions before the booking to make sure she would provide the correct care for our dog, it was nice to know that our dog was cared for in the comfort of our own home. Will definitely be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Channelview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 3,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Channelview. 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 Channelview 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 Channelview 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 Channelview 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.

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.
