Eva was wonderful! We had a relatively last minute request and I’m so thankful to have found her! She is incredibly professional, scheduling a FaceTime call ahead of time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure we’re on the same page. During the stay, she was so sweet and took great care of our fur baby. She is also extremely commutative, sharing thorough daily updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her and already looking forward to working with her again!

About: Hi! I’m Ayva, your pet’s future best friend! I’m a lover of all animals with years of experience caring for furry friends. I currently care for my own German Shepherd who has unique dietary requirements. This has taught me the importance of paying attention to feeding instructions, medication, exercise, and recognizing if something is not right. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of updates and photos so you have better peace of mind. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or simply relaxing and cuddling, I’m more than pleased to match their energy and keep them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I understand how worrying it can be to leave your pet behind in the hands of someone else. My goals are to minimize your worry and stress by providing exceptional care and in-detail updates, and to provide your pet with a comfortable, safe environment while you are away. I’m currently employed part time, though I am more than willing to work around my schedule to fit your pet’s needs and timeline. My schedule tends to be flexible, especially on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication (if needed), and other care instructions, and I will make sure your home is left just as I found it. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’ll ensure gates, doors, and leashes are secure before going outside, monitor your pet for any changes in their behavior or health, and provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection based on their needs. I will also send you regular photo and video updates so you can be as stress-free as possible while you are away.

About: I’ve have 10 years experience with dogs all sizes and temperaments so if you have just the loving dog who loves everyone or may be a little scared or shy with strangers I am your guy! I am currently working part time, so most days I’ll be available all day. Late nights or early morning and everything in between I will be there. I try my best to make the dog at home as much as possible. Stick with the same morning routine, feeding, walks! Same throughout the day as well!

About: I've had pets my entire life. I take care of large and small dogs and a cat here and there for friends, neighbors and referrals for 2 weeks or less, but I can do longer. Most of my care is due the pet owner going on a vacation. It got started bc I do house sitting and some of them had dogs. That is when I learned that I like dogs more than people most of the time and I mean that in a nice way. I flush every toilet at least every other day and run every sink at least long enough to refresh the p traps. Toilets get flushed, plants watered, I can mow the lawn too. I've handled emergencies before when it was 20 degrees and can shut off water gas power. When you come back to your house it'll be in perfect condition. I may charge more than others but I do a lot more and you can have a lot more trust in me. I'm not new to this. I'm just new to Rover. I take care of my own dogs AKC Doberman Pincher and our loved ditch rescue, got cats, a Rhode Island Red hen and a unclipped Conjure parakeet too. If you need the extras while your gone, let's figure this out bc I do real house sitting and I love pets! I am retired from the Security and Safety industries. I have been doing this for friends untill I started getting referrals, but I still have a lot of time left over so I spend it with my big dogs. I love taking care of animals bc they are so appreciative and love back unconditionally. I have selected a relatively small circumference of serviceable homes, so this means you're probably living pretty close to me. I can visit your home 2, 3 or even four times a day. If you really need me to spend the night I can do it. I update my calendar daily and look forward to taking care of my friends and neighbors pets every single day. I like to take care of the pets at your house. I just don't think my big dogs want to share their home. And I think most animals probably would have less stress being at a familiar place, after all there's no place like home. But I can take them for walks if you need me to. I will feed them exactly as you require and if you run out of food I can back you up. Since I am literally safety certified as a technician and a supervisor, I can ensure you that your pet will not be put in harm's way. As a former licensed security operator owner, I have decades of proven honor and dedication to my customers and their homes and belongings. But most importantly I dig dogs and cats so put that first. I honestly would rather meet or talk on the phone first before you pay for anything please. Details matter.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.

About: Your dog will get lots of love and attention from me! I’m available for check-ins and walks with your dog in Kemah/Clear Lake Shores. We will have fun taking walks, playing outside, or cuddling! My family has shared our homes and our lives with Jack Russells, Labs, and beagles since I was a little kid. For the last 5 years, I've been a dog mom to a Chocolate Lab. Penny is a very energetic, fun girl! I know how dogs become part of your family, and I'll treat your dog as such! I’ve been a Rover pet sitter for ten years, in Virginia, Montana, and now Texas. I have experience taking care of pets as well as livestock, and administering medications. I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have! I typically assist my clients with pet care and walks in the morning (around 7 a.m.) noon and evenings (5-8 p.m.) on weekdays. My weekends are more flexible. When I visit your home, I will check in with you upon arrival, with a photo and text message. I will also document any services I provide (feeding, walks, etc.) I will follow instructions provided for feeding, watering, potty breaks, walks, and treats.

About: I have loved and cared for a wide range of pets and personalities, understanding that each one has their own unique needs and routines. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by carefully following instructions and maintaining consistency in their routine. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away, unless requested otherwise. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine. While I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, I am able to stay overnight in clients home so pets can stay comfortable and in their familiar space and routine. Depending on the location, I can also stop by during lunch breaks for walks, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and extra attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am very attentive when it comes to following all instructions, routines, and rules provided by pet owners to ensure pets remain comfortable and stress-free while in my care. I understand every pet has different personalities, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to learn their mannerisms and routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe to them. Whether in my client’s home or during visits, my priority is always creating a calm, comfortable, and happy environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and taking care of them. Growing up, my family adored Great Danes, so I’ve had plenty of experience with big breeds. By the time I was ten, I was already looking after the family dogs, my own fish tank, and even a leopard gecko! My dream of having a mini zoo at home didn’t fade, and once I moved out, I could finally indulge in my love for cats. Now, we’ve got two Danes, four cats, and a whole flock of chickens. My friends and family know they can count on me to make sure their pets are happy and healthy, so they can rest easy and enjoy their time away. You can too, especially with the detailed notes and photos of your pet that I’ll send you during my visits. I’m not a dog trainer (yet!), but I do know how important it is to be consistent with training. With clear communication, I can make sure the hard work you’ve put into your training stays on track, even when you’re not around! I’m currently working remotely and part-time while undergoing medical treatment. I’m available to give your pets my full attention most of the day. My routine treatment and recovery periods are blocked off, so they won’t interfere with my ability to care for them. I exclusively care for pets within their homes because I can’t accommodate any more pets in my own. I offer either drop-in visits or full house sitting, so you can choose the level of care that best suits your needs. I respect that every pet parent has their preferences, so the more specific you can be with instructions, the better!

About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently a law student with a flexible weekly schedule. I’m fully available Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and boarding. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible to help keep their routine consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around cats. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!

Chi Chi is the best!! She stayed at our house for 5 days over the holidays with our dog Storm and for the first time ever Storm was calm, happy, and not shaking when we got back. She sent plenty of photos and videos and kept Storm on track with all of his medications. She also took him on multiple long walks each day, which our dog needs to stay fit. She also left the house super clean and tidy!!

About: I and my family have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was a kid. I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits and others. I have handled small jobs like taking my sisters friend's energetic husky on walks through their neighborhood. I have done things like take care of my neighbors dog and their rabbit while they were away for a week. I kept a family friends deaf dog Mickey at my house for about a month so I have some experience taking care of special needs dogs. I really love dogs and enjoy taking them on walks. I am a recent college graduate so I have a lot of free time to take care of animals. I am usually busy at noon to one on most weekdays with long term client. I take care of them. feed them on schedule, take them out when needed, walk them so they can stay healthy and give them attention to keep them happy. I also try to get to know each dog since they all have their own personalities and prefferences.

About: I've always been an animal person, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have both dogs and cats of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. I've trained my dogs basic commands and fun tricks, understand how to work with different personalities, and never mind taking a little extra time for pets who need patience. Whether your pet wants to play, go on a long walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you're away—just like I would for my own pets. As a college student living at home, pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets by making sure they are fed, have fresh water, get exercise and attention, and are comfortable throughout the day. I also help monitor their health and well-being, clean up after them, and spend quality time with them. Since I'm balancing school, I'm used to planning my schedule to ensure my pets' needs are consistently met. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, provide exercise and playtime based on their needs, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also monitor their behavior for any changes or signs of discomfort and keep the owner updated with messages and photos. I understand that every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, or other care preferences.

About: Currently no pets at home, but owned two large German Shepherds over 20 years, and lost my 12yr old German Shepherd last year. So I'm used to large aggressive breeds, puppies and older dogs. I'm ok with crate trained or dogs who are house trained. I work Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, but live 1 mile away from work, so I'm used to coming home at lunch to take a walk and potty break. Mostly home on the weekends. I can work from home on Fridays if needed to support a long weekend house sitting. I have large fenced yard, with all grass and used to throwing a ball for hours at a time. Tree lined streets for shaded walks. No other pets, kids or adults in the home.

She was perfect with our dogs, giving them so much attention. It was clear they were happy and comfortable in her presence.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clear Lake Shores

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Clear Lake Shores on Rover is $27.75 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 2,167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clear Lake Shores. 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 Clear Lake Shores 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 Shores 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 Clear Lake Shores 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.

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.
