“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Morgan is a wonderful sitter. I hired her to watch my two stranger danger chihuahua mixes. It only took 10 minutes for them to warm up to her! (They are a good judge of character). She sent me lots of pics, her communication was excellent, and she was respectful of my home. I will be booking her again!! Thank you for your good care, Morgan!”
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She watched our two dogs and cat in our home. She was already up to speed on our pets profiles before our meet and greet, and asked a ton of thoughtful questions about their routines and habits. She sent daily updates and pictures - it was such a relief to know our pets were safe and happy while we were out of town! Morgan also went out of her way to be at the house to let in our cleaning service and wheeled our dumpster to the curb when I forgot. Definitely will book Morgan again the next time we go on vacation! 😊”

“Sara was terrific! Last minute on my part and we were able to talk it through and work it out! I would definitely hire Sara again. She is very professional. It turns out she is close to my home, so I am considering taking my dog, to Sara's day care, to become more socialized. Thank you Sara.”
“Danya was AMAZING!!! She treated our dogs like they were her own and was so easy to get ahold of whenever we needed her. We received pictures and updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how much she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be using her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families. I have walked others energetic puppies and my own. I love trying to teach them new tricks and reward good behavior. I can give your pets their medicine or help with special instructions for their care. I have no problem cleaning up after them when they go to the bathroom. I am able to work any hours or days. There are a few times that I might need to go do somethings between care like errands. I have a fenced yard so I get to go outside with my dogs and play with them and I hope to do that with other dogs. I am very good with following directions for others animals.
“Madison took excellent care of my dogs and my home. My elderly dog loved her so much, he almost wanted to go home with her when she left. She walked, fed, and loved them well so that I had no worries while gone, and happy dogs upon my return.”
“Kiaunna did a great job, house / dog sitting for us while we were on vacation. She picked up our mail and even cleaned our home prior to our arrival. I highly recommend her in caring for your pet and home.”

“I’ve had Melissa watch my pups multiple times now and it makes traveling so much easier. She is very attentive to the dogs needs makes sure to give them the stimulation they need. I will continue booking her for when I’m traveling”
About: I have babysat many of my friends pets. I like to take them on walks because not only do they get their exercise I also get mine. I like to play with them and see them be joyful causing me to smile. My parents also own a dog breeding business and as a kid I would help them also so I know quite about dogs (puppies). Hi! I’m a professional caregiver with experience caring for disabled adults and geriatric patients. My work has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attentiveness, and treating every individual with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I’m also currently pursuing my law degree, and while my career goals are important to me, caring for animals brings me a completely different kind of happiness and joy. I genuinely love being around pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also keep their space clean and make sure they receive plenty of companionship and attention. My professional caregiving experience with disabled adults and geriatric patients has taught me to be observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Kayleen is incredible! The dogs instantly took a liking to her. She took the best care of our dogs and our house while we were gone. Her communication was top notch! We cannot wait to continue using her in the future.”

Donna was incredible with our senior dog, Zooey! She sent super frequent updates with adorable pictures, and she took amazing care of our girl! My dog was happy as I clam when we returned from our week-long vacation, so I know she had a lovely week with Donna. I will be booking with her again next time Zooey needs a sitter!
Lily was just fantastic - super responsive and very flexible with my difficult schedule. She is great with my dog and he loves her. She house and dog sat for seven days on very short notice and kept in touch with me the entire time. So grateful for the peace of mind while I was gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Clear Lake 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 Clear Lake 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Clear Lake 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
