Very appreciative of her and taking care of the 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She sent updates played with them and the dogs seemed comfortable and happy with her being around. Home was taken care of as well and we appreciated the communication and feedback from her while we were away. Very kind and trustworthy. If you need any services for your dog she would be the one to reach out to.

This was our first time leaving our fur babies with someone we didn’t know, and I was a little worried that our sheepadoodle who is a little skittish and doesn’t take to everyone. Oliver and Amy came by to meet my girls, and Lola went right up to them with no hesitation. I immediately knew my dogs were in great hands. We’ll definitely use them again and will recommend them to our friends and neighbors. Thank you, Oliver, for taking such good care of the girls while we were away — the pictures you sent showed they were happy and well-loved, especially Lola. 😁

About: I have taken care of my three dogs multiple times throughout the nine years. I’ve fed my dogs I babysat my dogs when my mom was out of town. I gave the medicine whenever they were needed and I played with them as much as I can. I currently do not have a job however I do have gymnastics from three till seven. The summer schedule is different. Around 9 am till 1:30 pm. I have three friendly dogs. One is a Boston terrier a boy, The second one is a girl English bulldog, and finally a boy poodle. All three are very friendly and lots of fun to play with. My fluffy puppies would always love to have your fluffy friend around!

About: At the young age of 10 I started gaining experience in dog sitting, daycare, and taking animals on walks. I know the importance of communicating with pet parents as well my experience of ensuring animal safety, going to the vet, and specific diets. My sister has a pet business and I worked with her for a long time to gain more knowledge and experience hands on. I have a lot of experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs including grooming or pet-handling. Currently I am in school for drone operations and have a good amount of time to watch, love on, and enjoy taking care of your fur baby💗 For my clients no matter the service I provide photo and video updates, knowing how it feels to leave my furbaby with another person than me or my fiancé. I also keep my phone nearby so that I am able to quickly respond to any text or calls I may receive.

Leah was great with our two dogs and senior cat. She sent multiple photos throughout the stay of the dogs with her on the couch which showed us they liked and trusted her. She kept to a schedule each day of coming and going which was an added, unexpected bonus that I’m sure helped them. Her communication pre- and during the sit was prompt, friendly, and professional which was truly appreciated and she went above and beyond in how clean she left our home. We may try to plan our next trip around Leah’s availability as we felt our pets were in great hands!

About: Hi! I’m Karina, and I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 10 years old, including overnight stays, and since then I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. One of my biggest experiences was independently caring for a privately owned dog rescue with over 20 dogs. From energetic young dogs, like a 9-month-old German Shepherd–Husky mix, to a blind senior small breed dog, I learned that every dog has their own unique needs, personality, and routine. I also worked at a dog grooming salon, where I gained even more experience handling dogs and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free from start to finish. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have open and flexible availability for pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, bedtime routines, and any special preferences your pet may have. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized while you’re away. Throughout each stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for you to return home to a relaxed pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in middle school for friends and family. And the past few years I’ve taken care of a family’s 3 dogs while they where on vacation who trusted me very much. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals including dogs, cats and Guinea pigs. As well as, raised my own 12 goats a lamb multiple dogs and horses. I love all animals and am willing and eager to continue that love. I am currently a student at Texas tech in my junior year!

I do work a restaurant job and get my schedule weekly but it is pretty much the same every week so I am also able to work around that schedule :) I have 2 dogs and a cat at my house and love carrying for them they are the best part of my day! I want to bring that same level of care i give to my animals to yours! I will make sure your furry friend is happy and well taken care of while you are away, I’ve never met a animal I didn’t love!

About: I am a highly experienced animal caregiver with a lifetime of hands-on experience managing large, multi-pet households and farm dogs. I am well-versed in the daily routines of dogs and cats of all ages, from maintaining clean environments to managing complex group dynamics and behavioral interactions. Having grown up caring for a large pack, I am confident in my ability to handle any situation with a calm, steady hand and provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m currently unemployed over the summer. I’m planning on going back to school for the fall and going into the police academy in February when I turn 20.5 I have a fenced in back yard so my animals go outside there. I’ve also lived in an apartment in college station with my own dog so I know how to walk and handle dogs in an apartment setting as well.

About: I've loved and mothered as many animals as would let me for as long as I can remember. I've been the owner of multiple dogs and cats, always helping others with their pets as well. Always the caretaker & growing up around animals & vet techs, I've rescued baby kittens, puppies and birds anytime I found them. I would (with the help of adults) find fosters, professionals or forever homes depending on the need. Animals & nature are my core peace. Living with my grandmother over the years, she always had mutitudes of pets and wildlife and I loved to be involved. I've had one on one interactions throughout my life with a multitude of animals well beyond dogs and cats (such as apider monkeys, marsupials, elephants, baby baboons, ferrets and snakes) & have found I love them all! As pets I've had I've had cats, dogs, fish, mice, guinea pigs and even helped foster back to health an injured golden owl as a child. All in all, I find joy in interacting with virtually all animals and would love the opportunity to assist in giving love and care to others pets! I'm a married 52 year old woman with a husband, 20 year old and 3 cats at home. (While surprisingly my husband is a 'cat' person, I love all pets!) I was recently became unemployed as well as being the managing/primary caretaker for my husband & his cancer battle of 7 years, missing much work for his medical appointments & transplants. This change however allows me more flexibility and independence to manage schedules and in short time to further my education. Helping with animals gives me a wanted and needed purpose beyond my home, allows time with animals, a source of joy & a calm for me and with less 'work' stress. I would love to meet you & your pets, get to know them and assist with their care any way I can! I will accommodate as requested for pet care and routines agreed upon. I know that all pets enjoy routine and it helps to keep them calm and happy when that is kept as best as possible. I try to keep a calm volume even with excitement in the tone. Animals pick up on what we put out from moods to tones and they always read body language. In due respect, so do I. Being aware of temperatures, whether they may need shoes for foot protection, a jacket for warmth or to be held when it's thundering - being aware of an animals reactions to their surroundings and people is of the upmost importance, whether outside on a walk or inside the home. My goal is to always provide a calming and fun experience for pets, making them feel safe, secure, taken care of and loved, while putting the owner at ease that their baby is in experienced, responsible and loving hands.

About: i’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for both. I understand their daily needs, routines, and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving attention and companionship, I treat every pet like my own and do my best to keep them happy while their owner is away. i’m currently a college student home for the summer, and I just got back from study abroad so I don’t have time to get a job while I’m home. I have always had a passion for caring for animals so I am dedicating all of my time to care for them. my mom travels for work a lot, and when she’s away, I care for all of the animals of the house. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a little girl and I genuinely love taking care of them. I am very trustworthy and dependable, and your pets health and safety is my number one priority.

We hired Jennifer to provide pet and house sitting during a recent business trip to Florida, and she exceeded our expectations. From the start, she conducted a thorough meet-and-greet, taking notes as we reviewed our pets’ routines and walked through the home. This attention to detail gave us immediate confidence, especially since our instructions are quite detailed. Jennifer followed all care instructions carefully, maintaining consistent feeding schedules and administering Archie’s medication after each meal. She also ensured appropriate coverage throughout the day and stayed overnight as agreed, so our pets were never left alone for extended periods. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the trip, which we truly appreciated. During a period of heavy rain, she made a special effort to be present after learning that Oliver is afraid of thunder. Overall, Jennifer provided reliable, attentive care for both our pets and home. We would highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again.

This was our first time using Rover and we chose Natalie because of her great reviews, her # of repeat customers, and her proximity to us. We loved her! Our pets got to stay home for the first time while we traveled for an entire week, instead of being in a boarding facility. She connected with our pets quickly and sent us daily updates and pictures. We feel so much better about this experience than boarding them. Will definitely use Natalie again. She was so good with them.

Kahealani is the best pet sitter I’ve ever hired (and I’ve hired a lot). I booked extremely last minute, and she responded right away and accepted the job without hesitation. Throughout our trip, she communicated clearly and consistently, sending multiple photos and updates that gave me complete peace of mind. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals, and she was amazing with my babies. I always knew they were in great hands. The highlight, though, was coming home to a house that was actually in better shape than when I left. Walking into happy animals and not having to clean up afterward was such a gift. If you are reading this and are considering hiring Kahealani, do it. I promise that you will not regret it.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cypress

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Cypress on Rover is $45.33 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cypress. 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 Cypress 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 Cypress 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 Cypress 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cypress. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
