About: We have experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in-between! We have cared for dogs with special needs, behavioral concerns, and anxiety issues. We are ready to help your pup feel loved in our home or yours! We work full-time, but we are around most weekends and evenings. We spend most of our evenings taking care of and spending time with our pets. We call work hours "nap time" in our house since our dogs LOVE to nap, and they would love to have your pup join them! We have a fenced-in yard and a large crate (if needed). Our home has plenty of room, and there's always space for your dog to pile into bed with us for bedtime!

About: Dedicated and compassionate pet care provider with thirteen years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about providing high-quality care to every animal. Although I work full-time, I’m highly organized and efficient with my schedule, which allows me to make time for my passions. I enjoy staying productive and using my evenings and weekends to pursue additional opportunities that align with my interests and skills. I currently offer pet care services in my clients’ homes, ensuring that pets remain in a familiar and comfortable environment while receiving the best care. Whether it’s dog walking, house sitting, or drop-in visits, I adjust my approach to fit each pet’s routine and medical needs. When staying in a client’s home, I provide attentive and loving care, maintaining their pet’s usual schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime. I keep their environment clean, follow any special instructions regarding medication or training, and ensure they receive plenty of attention and affection. For dog walking, I provide structured and engaging walks that suit the dog’s energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a high-energy walk, I adjust to their pace and preferences. I prioritize safety at all times—whether it's secure leashing, monitoring behavior, or following each pet’s unique routine and medical needs. Regardless of the service, I strive to ensure peace of mind through consistent communication and genuine care.

About: I've always loved dogs and loved caring for them. I work from home now and love to spend my free time with your pups! I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, who loves everyone and every dog she meets! I'd love to care for your animal while you are away. I am a wedding and portrait photographer, so during the week I am mostly at home working. I am typically free Monday-Friday to watch your pups or let them out! I also love taking them for walks. I have my own mini dachshund puppy named Fern, so your dog will be taken outside as many times as I take my own (which is a lot!) They can enjoy playing together and I also love taking them for walks to tire them out!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home. I love animals and enjoy taking dogs on walks. Besides my school schedule, I am very free. I have my own car and I live on campus. I am available in morning and evening and in between classes. I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

About: I have experience handling high energy pups, elderly dogs, shy cats, etc. I grew up with two dogs and five cats! I know how important routine is, and I strictly follow all feeding, potty, and leash walking instructions. I offer flexible pet care throughout the week, including early morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available for at-home sitting and overnight care. This means I can stay at your home to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own environment through the night. Message me to coordinate exact times and dates! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up in a lively household with five cats and family dogs, and I currently own two rescue cats. This background allows me to confidently manage multi-pet dynamics, different energy levels, and unique personalities. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, especially during at home sitting and overnight care. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it tidy and double checking that all doors and gates are securely locked. For dogs, they will always remain securely on leash during walks. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, routines, and bedtime habits so your pets feel zero stress. I will always send you detailed photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I've had dogs for most of my life. I've adopted from rescues and love making my pets feel safe and loved. My current dog is a senior male who's very sweet. He gets lonesome so it would be nice to have dog friends visit. I'm patient and kind. We love to go on walks and relax iny gated yard. I work full-time but I'm very close to work and come home every day during lunch to let my dog have some yard time. We go for a walk at night to get outdoors. I have a senior dog and a nice fenced backyard for them to roam around. My dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps with me.

Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! **If looking to book where I need to stay at your home please take it into consideration me coming early in the morning or after work timeframe** I work from home Monday-Friday and weekends I am available.

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Clear Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Clear Lake on Rover is $11.1 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 48 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clear Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clear Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
