About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that animals just seem to love me, and I know how to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for a senior dog, so I’m experienced with giving medication and making sure pets get the extra care they need. Taking care of pets fits right into my daily routine because I’m almost always available to care for your fluffy buddies. I’m usually free and flexible especially with having school and work outside of Rover, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve! When I care for pets in my client’s home, they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get outside for potty breaks after meals. My goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and cared for just like they would be with you.
“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!”
About: I have had a dog since I was born and I've never been without at least one in my life. I currently have 3 dogs and they are part of my family... we include them in our lives and love to play, walk and talk with them! They have gotten older over the years so 2 of them need special care. Two are blind and have diabetes but we give them shots and it keeps them healthy. I am happy to give your four-legged family member any extra care needed! I comfortable with any breed of dog at any age since I've been around pretty much everything... Chihuahuas, Cockapoo, Schnauzers, English Mastiff...I love them all! I can be available for walks and to check in on your fur-baby while you're away! If your pet needs a ride I am also willing to provide transportation home, or to the spa! Update: Beloved Oliver and Lola are now in puppy heaven. My time is devoted to puppies in need now! Winston recently was laid to rest after 9 years as a devoted companion.
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and find joy in ensuring they live their best lives. I haven’t found one that I don’t like or doesn’t like me! In my home or under my care I promise your pet will receive the best treatment. I’m currently working part time therefore I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as they need! I am open to boarding over the weekends and I’m flexible in my schedule! I live in an apartment complex that has a wonderful dog park on site! I do not have animals in my home, so if your pet does not do well with other animals or needs more one-on-one attention then I’m your girl!
About: I have 6+ years of pet-sitting experience, veterinary technician training, and professional kennel experience. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, farm animals, medications, injections, and canine CPR. I have a flexible schedule and offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I treat every client’s home with respect and every pet with patience and care. I follow their routine, instructions, medications, and safety needs while providing a calm, comfortable environment.
“After I had to leave for a family emergency, Michelle was able to watch my dogs within hours, and did such a great job despite my lack of in depth instruction. My boys looked happy in every picture and knowing they were well taken care of gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to be present in my situation. I cannot thank her enough”
About: I have worked with many rescues for the past 15 years. Reliable, trustworthy, and treat all animals as if they are my own. I believe they are family and not just pets. I have spent 15 years working with dogs, and horses. I love animals and believe that they are family. I spend most of my day working with dogs and horses. I believe that interaction is important for the pets health and well-being. Owners being away can be stressful for your pet. It is important to make them feel secure. When an owner leaves there pet, they do not know when and if they will return. It is important to keep their stress levels down and provide compassion and love to them while their owners are away.

“Chi was great! She was always on time and responsive. I really appreciated that she was thinking ahead and asking questions. The dog seemed happy too! We’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Keirstan was amazing. She gave us regular updates on our two dogs and cat. And she was super flexible when our plans suddenly changed. It was great knowing our home and pets were in such good hands!”
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 taken care of cats and dogs multiple times for friends and family, I’ve even taken care of lost dogs and helped find their owners During the week I try to do walks or check-ins on pets in the League City/Clear Lake areas but on weekends I’m more flexible for house sitting and drop-ins! My weekend schedule is mostly flexible to address any pet needs! And it you’d like me to do some extra to make your pet comfortable (dog parks, playtime) I can help with that!
About: . I’ve been around, loved, cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also had a toy poodle who was my baby for 12 years before she passed away last October. I know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone affordable who you can truly trust to be patient, gentle, and loving with your pet. I’m hoping to be that person for someone else. I genuinely miss having that companionship in my life, so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention while they’re with me. I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would want someone to give my own. I’m a recent college graduate currently studying for law school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day, every day. I will follow your directions to a T and be every vigilant when it comes to your animals just how I would like someone to care for mine.
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.
“I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. She came and helped somewhat last minute, yet took the time to visit before and get to know our pup. We trust her so much and our dog loves her too!”
About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.
“Tracy was incredible! I had her sit for my high-maintenance chihuahua puppy in my home multiple times and if it were possible, I’d have her sit for my puppy exclusively and regularly. Tracy was attentive to Scottie’s (my puppy) needs, she communicates incredibly well and she just really cares about pets and treating them with care, love, and respect (while also keeping them safe)! As if all of that wasn’t good enough, she followed my specialized instructions to the finest detail and she’s also just very kind and pleasant to be around. I highly recommend her (though it’s definitely more tempting to keep her for myself ☺️)”
“Teri is simply the best! She’s been such a great part of my pups life as their favorite pet sitter. She’s a dog mom too so she knows how hard it is to leave your fur babies but she makes it so easy for me. I don’t know what I’d do without her. My girls just love it when she’s there and I feel so comfortable leaving them in such great hands.”
About: I have taken care of many kinds breeds for about 10 years now and I have personally had different kinds since I was 10 years old. I’m currently available any day except Sunday because of my religion. I’m usually free on Fridays and Saturdays. During the week will work if need be. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to my schedule I take great care with other peoples pets as if they were my own. I currently have two large dogs, one German Rottweiler and one German Shepherd. They are my fur babies and I try to stay very active with both of them as well as other peoples pets unless they require otherwise

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dickinson
Michelle was an absolute blessing for our family! ❤️ She stepped in on very short notice when we unexpectedly needed someone to care for Xena and Roxy, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was respectful, kind, attentive to the pups, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. Knowing they were in good hands gave us one less thing to worry about during a difficult time. We truly appreciate her flexibility, compassion, and care, and would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Finn took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat! He made sure to update us daily and sent pictures. His past experience with veterinary services was an added bonus; he offered to trim their nails (both cat and dog), was able to keep an eye out for any problems, and had a familiarity and insight into dog and cat behavior. He noticed our dog's limp right away and was very comfortable giving them their pills. Overall, our animals were very happy and he gave them lots of love and cuddles! We would use him again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend him.
I wound up having to scramble at the last minute to find someone to sit with Kane for 5 days while I was out of town. The person I had contacted previously to sit wound up having something come up at the last minute. Patricia was a godsend and I couldn't have been happier. Kane was well taken care of and happy when I got home. Patricia will always be my go to now in the future if I need a SITTER.

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 Dickinson 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 Dickinson 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 Dickinson 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 , 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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
