About: I have nearly three years of hands-on experience working in dog boarding facilities, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and ensuring each dog felt safe and comfortable in my care. I also have five dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is truly a part of my everyday life. I currently work with dogs daily, which has helped me develop strong skills in handling, patience, and understanding dog behavior. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’m currently pursuing college with the goal of becoming a veterinary professional. Because of this, I take pet safety, routine, and well-being very seriously. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to make each walk a positive, stress-free experience. I work full time, but I offer dog walking and drop-in visits on my days off, as well as before and after my work shifts. I’m happy to accommodate early morning or evening walks and will always communicate clearly about my availability to ensure consistent, dependable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions closely. I prioritize safety, clean environments, secure leashes, and constant supervision. I monitor behavior, ensure pets are comfortable, and provide updates for peace of mind.

“Marc did an excellent job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town for 6 days. We had him come over and meet the dogs ahead of time and both dogs took to him very well. Marc was very communicative during this time, and he kept us informed while away from our overly attached pups.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Growing up with cats, dogs, fish, and house rabbits, has made caring for them second nature for me. My services range from daily walks, daily check-ins to extended overnight in-home stays. Most pets experience less anxiety when they are able to stay in their own home. With extended home stays, I provide light housekeeping services with the overnight stays, making it look as if I were never there. It is my pleasure to provide daily updates (sometimes multiple) pictures and videos. I have five years of pet sitting experience with references available upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby. Initial interview is required for all pet sitting jobs. Required with all jobs: care instructions in writing, medications list and dosing information, and veterinarian contact information. I am available for any pet or home sitting for any day of the week, all day. I do have a family dog who is not pet or stranger friendly. So no pet will be brought into my home. I have grown up with animals all my life, making caring for them second nature. Most pets experience less anxiety when they are able to stay in their own home. I also recommend that owners write out their pets care, and vet information, because emergencies happen.
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.
“Rebecca is an awesome sitter that prioritizes the comfort and routines of your animals. She connected w all of our dogs upon meeting them, and it was clear that they trusted her to care for them while we were away. She was great about keeping in touch and sending pics when we were missing our babies! Judging by the pics, they all had a lot of fun :) Def recommend, and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Mia was amazing! Our dogs really enjoyed her company. She was very communicative and responsible. Our dogs have never been cared for in such a careful manner. She took care of our home like it was hers. My wife particularly loved how she left our home better than she found it. I think we might have found our permanent dog sitter! Thanks again Mia!”
“I had to book a sitter for a week long international trip as our usual care fell through. My girl is elderly, on medication and sometimes behaviorally challenging so I was extremely nervous. Delilah was so calm and communicative throughout my entire trip and went the extra mile to ensure Ruby was happy and well taken care of. She even made sure the neighborhood cats and my plants were attended to! Having her ensured I was able to travel worry free, could not recommend her more.”
“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.”

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.
<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 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!

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 .
