“Danielle was amazing! She took care of my 2 older kitties one of which has to take medicine 2 times a day! She came morning and night to administer her meds, cleaned the liter box and made sure all was picked up! Would definitely recommend and would be sure to use Danielle again!”
“Heather was amazing with Rip & Diesel. I couldn’t ask for a better house / dog sitter. It was a last minute booking and Heather came through for me. I will rebook for sure with Heather.”
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
About: What sets me apart is my extensive veterinary experience. I've had animals my entire life and have been a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) since 2011. I currently work full-time as a Practice Manager in a busy veterinary hospital, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, injections, insulin, eye and ear medications, and caring for senior pets, puppies, and those with special medical needs. I can recognize early signs of illness or injury and know when a situation requires veterinary attention, giving pet parents extra peace of mind. Above all, I treat every pet like they're my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where your furry family member feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a Practice Manager at a veterinary hospital, so caring for animals is what I do every day. Before and after work, as well as during evenings and weekends, I dedicate time to providing personalized care, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's normal routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration, and any special care instructions. During every visit, I make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and companionship while also monitoring their health and well-being. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with years of experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, compassionate hands while you're away.
“We have 2 dogs. 6 month old puppy and 4 year old. Susan helped train them. She walked them and had them outside playing every day. They were treated like royalty! She’s wonderful to communicate with. You can tell she is very experienced with dogs. We felt like we won the lottery.”
“Zoe was great with our Golden Retriever! She took such great care of our girl and gave her lots of attention. Zoe also helped her feel secure during the bad storms we got a week ago. I highly recommend Zoe to care for anyone looking for reliable pet sitter!”
“Kevin was wonderful! We received multiple updates throughout our trip and fun pictures of a happy pup. Echo got to go on walks, play in his back yard and snuggle. Additionally, our house was spotless when we returned. We were thrilled to return to both a well-kept doggo and home!”
About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.
About: I have lived in a home with a dog or cat since I was 3 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats over the last 7 years, whether that be visiting their home during the day, staying in their home overnight, or bringing the pet to my own home. I love animals and am always respectful of people’s homes, care instructions, and boundaries. I currently work from home part time as a freelance video editor, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to fit animal care into my schedule and am very dependable. I have visited and even stayed overnight at many people’s homes to care for their pets. I’m always very respectful of people’s spaces, their care instructions, and their boundaries.
About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
“Alex was an awesome sitter! Communication very easy and lots of pic updates. She kept Van busy with walks and enrichment time. Will use Alex again and highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and grew up taking care of them as well as my family friends dogs. I have a love for those fluffy fur-balls and always will. I am currently working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of ur furry friends. I can be there almost any time you need! I can feed your dogs and put them out as often as you need. I am good at following any and all rules given by the homeowner.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have taken care of all different kinds of dogs. My grandfather trained police dogs so I am used to taking care of all style of dogs. I’m currently on working on the side so I have a very free schedule to offer services at all times. I’m home most of the day and I can choose my own schedule to work around providing pet care. My wife and I live in a gated community that is very dog friendly. There is a dog park in the middle of the complex. We have a very friendly corgi for your fur babies to play with. We allow dogs on the furniture and to sleep wherever they want to.
“I have nothing but great things to say about Jake and Aireanna. From our first meeting to after our trip they have been very responsive and great with our dogs. We were very worried about leaving our dogs with new people for our trip, especially our older dog because she was on medication and can be very picky about who stays in the house. Jake and Aireanna were great with her and great on updating us about her health/medication.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Sarah was INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend! She was very easy to work with, sent lots of updates and photos, took amazing care of our pup, and dealt with all of his quirks without issue! She gave a daily update with walks, eating, highlights, any issues which was a very easy way to see their day in a glance. Our fridge died while she was house sitting and she was very communicative to help diagnose what happened, and even moved our food into bins in the snowy backyard. She truly went above and beyond! She left our house clean and our dog happy and tired (from all his walking and attention).
Danielle was great! We have 2 dogs. One is a senior and one just 2. The 2 year old pup had been with us only 3 weeks and had come to us with a difficult past. Danielle was so patient and willing to work with both our girls giving them each the attention and coaching they needed. We'll definitely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Friendswood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Friendswood on Rover is $45.29 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Friendswood. 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 Friendswood 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 Friendswood 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 Friendswood 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.
