“Megan was an excellent sitter. I need help last minute because I had to be in the hospital during the storm for 48 hours straight. Megan made sure my dogs were well cared for with meals, walks, and lots of love/attention. One of my dogs also needed medication and she was able to provide. Would love to have her back!”

About: Growing up I always had dogs and would constantly watch dogs 101 and vet shows. I learned their language to better connect with them especially if they have anxiety. Right now I am raising 3 cats and caring for my elderly dog who has seizures so I know how to handle a situation when it come to it along with schedule medications. My dog also only chooses me to cuddle with during thunderstorms so if your pup has a fear of storms while you're gone you can rest assure I'm making them feel as safe as possible. I have pretty big gaps between my day schedule, between school and work. I have time for morning, afternoon and night visits. I usually get out of work 830 the latest so medication will be able to be given before too late in the night In the client's home I would normally make sure I can see their pet at all times to guarantee no accidents happen on my watch. I also depending on the breed and personality of the dog will walk them or give them enrichment more often as needed.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have four rescue pups of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I regularly dog-sit for friends and family, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m very organized and flexible. I’m willing to work to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout the day and week. I’m available on weekdays, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to adjust when possible to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve house-sat countless times and always treat pets and homes with care and respect. I’m responsible, well-mannered, and attentive to routines and instructions. I frequently volunteer at an animal shelter, which has helped me become comfortable working with all types of pets, temperaments, and energy levels. Pets are also welcome to stay at my home—my dogs are very friendly, and I can safely crate pets if needed or allow them to relax comfortably in my home, based on owner preference.
About: I've cared for pets for many years. I rescued a cat during Hurricane Harvey in Houston and helped nurse it back to health, with the help of the Houston Humane Society. I've cared for the pets of my friends and family. I truly love animals and get along well with all of them. I provide them with a fun and safe environment, filled with love and care. Whether you're in need of a day sitter, or boarding for a short period of time, I'm available with open arms lol! Pet care starts with self care, and I definitely take good care of myself lol! I look forward to each and every new furry friend I'll make, and I hope to bring them as much joy as they bring to me!

“Sophia was a huge help watching our dogs for the second time while we were on our honeymoon. Unfortunately, my dog Blue got sprayed by a skunk while we were gone but Sophia made us feel much more at peace. She immediately notified us of the situation, took Blue to the vet, and bathed her. We were very grateful!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
“If you need a rockstar dog sitter, Tory’s it! She watched our two girls over spring break and did an amazing job. She was communicative, paid detailed attention to their schedules, and sent the best pics. It was clear from the pictures and videos that our girls were having a great time and being so well cared for. She also went above and beyond and the house was spotless- couldn’t tell she’d been there!”

About: I’ve cared for multi-diverse manner dogs for 15+ years. I have experience and certification in behavior therapy. So I understand motivation, reinforcement, and attending to differing array of expressed behaviors, as-well as creating behavior interventions plans to train for appropriate/desired behaviors for clients. I’m a voice actor, so my schedule is as I dictate it to be. I’ve got commitments, however I’ve got loads of freedom to attend to dogs full-time. It’s a true joy. When I render services I’d like you to consider your lovely pet on a holiday surrounded by private security. They will be safe in my fenced neighborhood, I will be present and interactive, and will bring so much fun they’ll be bouncing to come back. All my family and friends love pets and show much affection. My place will be an extension of your family — if you’ll have us.
“Annette was a great house guest and seemed great with our dog. She took her on long walks and spent time with her which we appreciate. Her commination was strong texting us proactively with updates!”
About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.
About: I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood right in front of a waterside park, which means plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and sunshine for your pup. My own sweet older dog, Chop, is very social and well-mannered, so visiting dogs always have a friendly companion by their side. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day with frequent walks, playtime, and snuggles. I truly love animals and care for each one as if they were my own Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I start and end the day with walks by the waterside park right outside my door, and I build in plenty of breaks for outdoor time throughout the day since I work from home. My dog Chop is older and very social, so he loves having other dogs join us for fresh air, sunshine, and play. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I make sure pets feel cared for and included in my routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have access to plenty of outside time at the waterside park right across the street, daily walks, and a safe, comfortable space to relax inside. My dog Chop is very social and gentle, so visiting dogs always have a built-in buddy. Because I work from home, I can give pets consistent attention, whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or regular potty breaks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to any special instructions for training, medication, or comfort. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and relaxed in the environment where they feel most secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 453 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Double Bayou. 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 Double Bayou 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 Double Bayou 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 Double Bayou 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.

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.
