“Starla was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She took such loving care of them, was punctual and incredibly communicative, and kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout my trip. I had complete peace of mind knowing my babies were in such good hands. Thank you, Starla, for taking such great care of them! We are so grateful and highly recommend her!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently care for three pets of my own-as well as chickens, goats, and rabbits- so l'm no stranger to a full house of furry (and feathered) friends! I've also trained dogs before, including puppies, and l'm comfortable handling a wide range of pet personalities and needs. What really sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals—I'm great at giving pawsome love, belly rubs, and treats (with permission, of course)! Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some chill company, your pets will be in great hands with me! I'm available for pawsome adventures, cuddles, and care any time after 12 PM— five days a week! On the weekends I’m free! Whether your pup needs a morning walk, your kitty wants some midday playtime, or your bunny just wants a snack and a snuggle, I'm here to help. Early riser? So am I! Let's make your pet's day tail-waggingly awesome. How do you care for pets in your home and/or in your client's home? Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, I always treat them like family! I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible meals, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that make them feel safe and happy. In my home, pets will have a cozy, clean, and pet-friendly space to relax or play— and when I start offering boarding, they'll have instant playmates! I have one dog and one cat who are both super friendly and love to play pretty much 24/7. They can't wait to make new furry friends! When I'm in your home, I make sure your pet feels secure and cared for in their own environment. I stick to their routine, keep everything tidy, and give lots of love and attention— plus photo updates, so you don't miss a moment!
About: What sets me apart? Don't know really.. but I love to sing to your fur babies. As for senior dogs, I can administer any medications they are on. I enjoy massaging pets to sleep! Currently, I work part-time from home and can care for your pets daily, nightly or weekly if necessary with a couple of days of notice. I have a fenced yard and a large crate if your fur baby is crate-trained. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will have my undivided attention.
“Milton is very friendly and he took good care of my 2 German Shepherds. He was on time and made sure to send me pictures and update me about how they were doing every single time. I definitely recommend him.”
About: I have always had pets in my home, from a baby to kid to teen to adult. I will ensure your pets are loved and taken care of as if they were my own. I enjoy all breeds of dogs. I hope I get to love on your pets when you are not able to! I am a full time teacher and coach off on summer vacation until the end of July. I am available to watch your pet pretty much any time of day and night. I have a fully fenced yard and also have crates in my home if needed. I am comfortable using crates as I have crate trained all of my dogs.
“Jeanette is a dang rockstar! She did such a good job at house and pet sitting for us! We have a medium size dog that’s a rescue and needs lots of love and attention, and a somewhat feral cat, and Jeanette didn’t miss a beat with either of them! Sent lots of pictures, asked questions when needed, kept the house clean, and even washed the blankets she used! I highly recommend using Jeanette if you need someone to house and/or pet sit. She is a great fit for our needs. Thank you Jeanette!”
“Mona went above and beyond watching our pup Luna! She made sure to keep me updated and Luna busy! She is a very sweet and thoughtful person. Mona will be our trusted caregiver for Luna when we need a sitter! Thanks again!”

There is also a park & walking trail across the street from my apartment. I live 13 minutes from the Sugar Land Pawm Springs Dog Park that I love to take dogs to! I am a nurturing person at heart so cuddling and loving on dogs and other animals that enjoy affection utterly brings my heart joy. I just want to make animals feel safe, comfortable and loved <3
“I had a great experience with Gaby (Shannon)! This was my first time using Rover and having a house sitter for Belford, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She made the whole process easy and reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, Gaby went above and beyond by washing the bed sheets—even though it wasn’t required—which was such a thoughtful touch. My home was left in great condition, making coming back even better. I’d absolutely book with Gaby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.
About: Hello There! I’ve been a loving dog owner since the age of 7. My parents got me a Pomeranian named Chloe and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I have two small pups of my own right now (a Shih-Poo and a Boston Terrier), so I’m used to big personalities in small bodies, lots of energy, and all the little quirks that come with small breeds. I also did a puppy training program with my Poodle-mix, which taught me a lot about building routines, positive reinforcement, and just understanding puppy behavior in general. So whether your dog is still in that wild puppy stage or they just need some extra patience, I have PLENTY of experience. I’m gentle, attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will always be safe, cared for, and paid attention to with me. I send updates, I pay attention to the little things, and I make sure your baby feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m very relaxed, and my dogs have full freedom to roam around their home — and I will make sure guest get that same comfort and freedom while still being safe and supervised. I work from home, so my babies go out every 2 hours for potty breaks, plus a good walk before or after my shift. Your dog will fall into that same routine with me - breaks, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. When time permits, I love taking them to the on-site dog park (only when the dogs are alone though) Your fur baby’s safety is my top priority. My home is clean, calm, and fully dog-friendly. I supervise all play, keep doors secured, and make sure every dog is comfortable, safe, and understood. I treat every dog with patience and respect. I’m gentle, responsible, and I pay attention special attention to their individual personalities to make sure they are comfortable. My babies have free roam in a safe environment, and any dog in my care gets that same comfort while still being watched, loved, and protected. “You can trust that your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll always be in a space designed for their safety and peace of mind.
About: I treat your home pets with care as I would like to be treated. Over 12 years of experience caregiving to both neighbors and friends I am currently working part time and have extra time to help out where I can. Any day of the week can work with me. You deserve safety and trusting environment and your pet deserves attention and care at any given time under all circumstances and different paths and lifestyles.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fairchilds
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fairchilds. 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 Fairchilds 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 Fairchilds 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 Fairchilds 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.
