“Amy is always so wonderful to have. Our dogs love her, and she is great at keeping in touch while we are away. Every time she stays, we come home and the house looks exactly as we left it which is awesome. 5 stars for sure”
About: I have taken care of my own animals from a young age. Many friends and family have trusted me to watch and take care of their animals and I absolutely love making sure the pets are loved and cared for while their owners are away! I am currently searching for a full time job so I’m pretty open until I land one. I will still be willing to work around my job when I get one! I want your pet to feel as if their owner isn’t even gone and have someone there who loves them and they feel comfortable around. I know that’s how I would want my animals to be taken care of!
About: I’ve had experience with many animals of different species for many years and can take care of all needs. I was a dog trainer and certified in dog and small animal wellness. I am currently a pet care specialist and do all that I can for all and their pets. I also have a degree in environmental science and pet wellness. I also like to applaud myself for customer service skills and being personable with everyone I meet. I will talk to you like I’ve known you forever and I strive to be someone those can be comfortable around. 😊 As a pet care specialist and pet owner myself, my schedule ranges from 8-9 am for spot cleaning and feeding, then around 12 I do pet checks, and around 5-6 is when I do final checks. For dogs, it follows the same structure with added enrichment and outside time in between. I have one dog and one puppy who spend time mostly outside and come in for breaks and food/snacks. I have a cat who eats twice a day and will occasionally be put in his stroller to go outside and enjoy the fresh air lol. And I have 2 guinea pigs who eat twice a day and will come out of their cage for enrichment and play time.
About: From a young age I loved being around animals, I started out helping my mom since she is a wildlife rehabilitation rescuer. I worked as a Veterinary Technician with small and large animal, and have been working as a receptionist in Veterinary Clinics for 7 years now. Animals bring a happiness to me that is indescribable and if you hire me as your pet sitter I promise that your fur babies will become a part of my family! I will treat them as my own, if you’d like to book please let me know. I like to do meet and greets before I do the job to meet your fur babies, you, and make sure that I have an understanding of the routine to best take care of them while your away! I am currently not working so I am doing pet sitting full time, I can pretty much do any date or time. Just let me know what works best for you. For pet sitting, I would do so in the comfort of your own home and where your pet feels the safest. I do not have a fenced in yard, so to make sure that the pet care is safe I feel it is best to provide it in your home.
About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.
About: I’ve had pets or all sorts since I was a small child. I grew up around cats, dogs, and all sorts of animals. I’m patient and also have experience in wildlife rehab— which means I can easily handle basic triage and medication/supplement application. Geriatric or special needs? My childhood dog was blind and diabetic. Fearful or anxious pet? I get it, I’m patient and understand animals need their space and time to gain your trust. I have a degree in wildlife biology, am a licensed falconer, and worked in retail pet care all through college. Now? I have plenty of pets of my own, reptiles, birds, mammals, and an amphibian too. I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule will hopefully change soon— but for now I’m happy to help take care of your pets as I’m free. Which is often. I’m willing and able to do drop ins on the weekends or late at night with fair warning or advance notice! Not the best early morning person, but I have plenty of my own animals that need am care— so I’m plenty capable of that too. I will care for your pets as I care for my own. Observant and patient, empathetic and gentle. I’m more than comfortable cleaning messes, handling high stress situations, and will do my best to keep your pets loved and comfortable in my care.
“Michelle did an amazing job pet sitting/housesitting while we were gone for about 16 days. She would check in with us and send us pictures and videos and made us feel very reassured while we were gone. Even handled the chaos well when things went wrong with our water pump. Very kind and dependable and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Journey was great! This is the second time that she’s watched my two dogs and she was awesome. She took excellent care of the dogs and the house and she communicated often with pictures of the dogs. They looked happy and comfortable with her which helped me be at ease and enjoy my vacation fully.”
About: I am a full time pet caregiver located in Austin, TX. I have been in this line of work for more than 6 years and I enjoy it so much that I started my own business. If you’re looking for consistent, reliable and affordable pet care in the greater Austin area, then I’m your girl! I am a full time pet caregiver, so this doesn’t fit into my routine, it is my routine! I also walk and/or jog multiple times a day as a preferred form of exercise. Is it a surprise I like to bring a few friends along? I care for every pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s preferences. I’m big on keeping pets comfortable in their own environment, so I follow feeding, walking, medication, playtime and bedtime instructions as closely as possible. I also give plenty of attention, affection and updates, so both you and your fur baby can feel comfortable while you’re away!
“Cher is a 5 star house sitter taking care of my 4 year old golden retriever for 3 weeks while I was out of the country. She strike me as trustworthy, extremely clean, and very cautious when walking and monitoring your dog so you know you are in good hands and can travel in peace :) Cher cleaned up and even sanitized the apartment and her guest room, which is a pleasant surprise above and beyond her dog sitting responsibilities. (She also fixed my paper shredded which was broken for a while!). I also enjoyed the daily updates of my baby with photos and videos. Overall, highly recommended!”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.

The average cost of House Sitting in Clute is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $43 per night.

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 Clute 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 Clute 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 Clute 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 with handling special pet needs in Clute. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
