“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”
About: Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a professional dog walker that’s completed over 2,500 walks and Pack Lead here in Houston, where I train and coach other walkers and make sure every visit meets a high standard of care. Before pet care, I spent 18 years in customer service, so going above and beyond for the people (and pups) I work with comes naturally to me. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll work around your routine and your dog’s routine. I’ll treat your dog like family and your home like my own. I walk dogs full time during the week, so I’m available weekday late afternoons and evenings and all weekend. Evenings are great for an after-work walk, a potty break, or a dinner visit when you’re running late, and on weekends I can do walks, drop-ins, or extra care while you’re out. Booking early helps me hold your preferred time, and I’ll confirm every visit ahead of time so you never have to wonder. For regular clients I keep a steady routine, because dogs feel safest when they know what to expect. Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind come first for me. I check leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk, keep a secure hold the whole time, and watch for hazards like heat, traffic, other dogs, and anything on the ground they shouldn’t eat. I follow your instructions exactly, from feeding and meds to house rules, and I’ll lock up and leave your home the way I found it. Your home is private, so I only let someone in after I’ve confirmed with you that it’s okay. As a Pack Lead I train other walkers on these same safety standards, so careful, consistent care is something I do every day. You’ll get updates and photos after each visit, and if anything comes up I’ll contact you right away
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
“Chelsea did SOOOOO good with my high energy dog Murphy! She stayed with him for the weekend. The house was perfectly clean, Murphy well taken care of, and she was super responsive and sent tons of pics. I’d give her 10 stars if I could, and will be using her again in the future”
About: I love dogs and enjoy getting outside and staying active! I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pup like my own. I’ll make sure your dog gets a great walk, plenty of attention, and lots of love along the way! 🐾 I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits anytime after 3 PM during the week and weekends. I’m also available for house sitting on Fridays and Saturdays. I work my pet care schedule around my daily routine to make sure each pet gets dependable, attentive care and plenty of love. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their pets’ needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure on walks, and make sure they have fresh water, attention, and plenty of love. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and send updates and photos so you know how your fur baby is doing. I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring, trustworthy hands!
“Ana did a tremendous job watching over our pups while we were out of town. She constantly kept us updated and shared pics letting us know they were in great hands. Would definitely book again, highly recommended!”
About: I grew up always having a family dog in our house. My cousins would also have pets and, later on, My Grandparents would have pets too. It never felt right without the pitter patter of paws following you wherever you go. As I got older, I was given more responsibilities taking care of our pets. When my family goes somewhere, I'll be in charge of taking care of the dog and the house. I would even go with my cousin, when she would be pet sitting, and help her out while having fun. I would never refuse to see a cutie pie. Now I'm pet sitting for family friends too. I work from home, so it is very easy for me to get up and go. If you need me to even stay over to care for your babies, I'm open to that as well! Once I get there, I would love to have a chat with you about your home and your pet's need. Notes are recommended to give to me about important things. If not, I'll write them down for myself. Of course I will respect your belongings and follow your house rules. If I'm staying for a while, I will bring my own food, I will just need some fridge space for it. I will also clean up the spaces I use before I leave.
About: I've been a foster to cats for about 2 years and have been a volunteer at cat rescues. I have also experience with dogs (as a dog owner) and as a sitter. Please free to ask any questions! Im currently working part time during Tuesday to Saturday from 9-2pm but have any time before and after that available for any pet sitting request. Will also be fully available on Sundays and Mondays I have my own vehicle for any special requests regarding your pets and I love detailed directions in order to serve your pet the best way possible
“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”
“Jairo took excellent care of our senior dogs over the weekend. Managed their food and meds and sent updates throughout. Will use him again!! Thank you Jairo!!”
“The dogs liked him. He was very attentive. Kept us posted on everything that was going on with daily pictures with updates. Will definitely use him again.”
“Sophia was great! This was our first experience using Rover, and we felt fully comfortable having her stay at our house with our two large dogs. The dogs were well taken care of and in a good mood when we got back. We would definitely have Sophia back to watch them again!”
About: My name is Melody and I have always loved caring for pets and helping out in the community. I have a small background in pet sitting, totaling about 2 years now. I am not a Baytown native, but I have lived in the area for about 3 years and am getting to know the area more and more each day. I am bilingual, consider myself to be very friendly and love it if I can bring a smile to someone’s day. I look forward to meeting new people and being able to lend a hand by taking good care of your furry friends, big or small. I also work from home M-F so your fur babies will always have someone with them. My boyfriend Moses often helps out with pet care as well and he is wonderful with animals. If you should have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to provide some answers. I work from home and as a result am able to care for your fur babies constantly. I love relaxing when I’m not working and I’d love to have your fur babies around for company 🙂. I have a fenced yard and can provide your pets some exercise time outside. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly with other dogs and would love to make some new friends.
About: Im Fabian and Im an animal lover by heart. I have my own dog, a chihuahua named Baby. A sitter just watches your pet, I interact with them. Your pet needs someone who is not only going to feed and clean after them, they need some interaction as well. Dogs are like humans, they need to be active and be entertained, something to keep they mind off the face that you're not there, I could be that distraction. I don’t work on the weekends, I’m a home body. I will have all the time to play, Care and interact with your fur babies I have a fenced yard and two fur babies of my own to keep your pet company, or I can crate if need be, you let me know!
“If you’re a short reader: BOOK JOSUÉ YOU WONT REGRET IT. For those who want the details: We have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat. All three of them are truly my children and have never been left with a stranger. After booking a week long cruise with family, we were left to utilize Rover. Who knew after booking Josué, we would not only find someone our pets adored but someone that we adored too! We got daily silly videos and updates, he even stopped by to meet us beforehand to calm my nerves. He took great care of everyone and our home! He even organized my freezer (thanks Josué)! We will continue to book Josué anytime we need any pet sitting, but most importantly he left as a friend! Thank you for being such a sweet kind pet lover Josué! The world needs more light like you. See you soon!”
About: I have had my own pup for 10 years, I love to walk him and give him lots of love! I would treat your pet no different than i would treat my very own furbaby. I don’t mind giving baths and taking walks. I make sure they are fed and have fresh water as well as lots of love and attention. I don’t have other pets besides dogs but I am willing to follow instructions and do what an owner asks of me to meet the needs of their pet whatever it may be to make it happy and keep it healthy and safe. My main goal would be to make sure the pet was happy and comfortable while their owner was away and i believe I can do that for you!
About: 30+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from Chihuahuas to Malamutes. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors needing extra patience and care. I’ve volunteered at veterinary offices and trained under a professional dog trainer, so I understand dog behavior, basic health needs, and safe handling. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their routine. Reliable, attentive, and experienced—you can trust your dog is in good hands. Currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for care. I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the week after 4pm, with open availability for boarding, extended stays, and weekend care. I’m happy to accommodate both regular weekly schedules and last-minute needs whenever possible—your dog’s routine and happiness come first. Safe, two-story home with a fully fenced yard in a quiet, low-traffic Lake Houston community. Nearby trails and dog parks for plenty of exercise. I prioritize supervision, secure spaces, and a calm environment so your pup feels safe and at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crosby
Paige was great! We love a lot of photos when we’re on trips and she was sure to send us a bunch. As far as preparedness I’d say she was the most prepared sitter we’ve had. She had a sheet for us to fill out with all of our preferences which I thought was so smart! Very respectful of our home. 10/10

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 Crosby 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 Crosby 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 Crosby 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
