“Sara was amazing with the boys. And so patient. My great Pyrenees can get pretty loud. She gave him his space and let him get used to her. She made multiple trips to meet them before the actual visits. This is my first trip leaving them. Sara sent pictures and kept me updated. Absolutely will use again.”

About: I am a dog-lover and dog rescue mom who genuinely loves and cares for all animals. Recently laid off and ready to help your family with dog walking and drop in needs! I am currently looking for work so I have plenty of time throughout the day to drop in and/or walk your dog. I have a lot of flexibility right now! I have a fenced in yard and a really energetic and friendly rescue dog. She would love to play with your dog and get their energy out!

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was 15. In my circle, I am the trusted pet caretaker! When caring for pets I have administered medication’s in all forms, i.e. a liquid via mouth, a tablet via mouth or in food. One of my favorite things when caring for animals is getting to watch them be unique and goofy in their own way! I am no stranger to taking them on walks, taking them to parks, picking up after in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, taking care of puppies/kittens or senior pets! I’ve done it all! My dad will tell you I should’ve been a veterinarian. *IMPORTANT NOTE* When I am housesitting, I never bring my own animals. I am currently in between careers and I am doing odd jobs in the meantime. I am able to self schedule everything I am doing as of late. However, your pet needs to be cared for I am more than willing to accommodate! I am a firm believer that the most comfortable place for an animal is a place. They already know. Taking care of an animal in its own home for an extended period of time reduces the stress for that pet. They get to keep up with their normal routine and don’t have to worry about fighting for attention from other pets. allowing them to stay in their own home means they have my full undivided attention!

“Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. My mom worked in a veterinary office, so I was fortunate to learn from an early age how to properly care for and understand different pets. I also have experience training puppies and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! 🐾 I’m currently in college and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM–3 PM. I also work part-time with a flexible, changing schedule, which leaves me with plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to work around my schedule and prioritize making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have a sweet, spoiled dog of my own who goes almost everywhere with me and absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs! I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass where pets can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’ll make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. 🐾

About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.

About: I’ve had several pets over my entire life, and truly believe a pet makes a home. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and want to expand my care to your fur babies. I am only focused on cat-sitting 🐈‍⬛!! I have experience taking care of kitties, adult cats, and cats who require medication on a schedule. I am no stranger to a dirty litter box and will make sure that your cats have a clean space to do their business; sicknesses in cats can be caught early in the litter box so i’ll be very attentive to any abnormalities. *My calendar is updated frequently. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to your pet care needs, please reach out for any questions!! I have an open schedule, for weekdays and weekends. I am also available during holiday season. I have online college classes, but they do not require me to show up in person meaning I can be with your pets anytime! All cats are different, and their owners know them best, so I will follow your instructions and take care of your kitties the way you would! I will be respectful of you and your cat's home and will prioritize respecting your kitties' boundaries to hopefully establish a strong connection with them.

About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked in a veterinary clinic and am comfortable with medication administration, senior pets, puppies, kittens, and pets that may be shy, nervous, or require extra patience. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently live with one friendly dog and one cat. My cat stays in my room and can be kept separate from visiting pets when needed. Visiting dogs have access to a secure wrap-around backyard with cameras and a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed. I also have space available for a kennel if your pet is crate-trained or prefers their own quiet space. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I'll treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, playtime, and attention. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each booking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I currently work part time during the week. I’m available for mornings walks before 10 am and afternoon care starting at 4:30 pm until 10 pm unless otherwise discussed! Walks, play time and even relaxation are key to the dogs enjoyment around a new person. I strive to leave every visit with your furry friend feeling happy, loved and cared for.

About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and I'm currently in college so I have a lot of free time. I have 4 dogs(2 frenchies, a staffy, and a malinois) at the moment but they are extremely friendly and well trained. I'm in college but it's online so I have plenty of time to show attention and care for pets. I have a few appointments through the week, but my schedule is pretty clear otherwise! I am able to give dogs the care they need and I can follow detailed care instructions so please do not hold back on what your pet needs. My dogs run around in the backyard. I play fetch, tug of war, and give lots of treats. I give them mental enrichment toys such as a snoop as well as heavy duty chew toys(bully level).

About: I know most people will talk about their experiences and how long they've loved/owned pets and animals, so instead of telling you about my own, I will tell you something that I understand and that every pet owner wants to hear from a pet caregiver: They are more than animals who you play with, take on walks, feed or pet/give them belly rubs.. they're your family. As members of your family, it is my duty as a caregiver to make sure they are properly looked after, and more importantly: Loved and Respected. Both you and your family member will get your time and efforts worth, that is my vow as one who truly loves cats and dogs I'm looking for work right now, but I found about this and figured it'd be best to keep myself out there and making sure I ain't wasting away, especially when I get to help out folks and their family members 🙏 My schedule can change, but I'll be free most days from mornings to nights, and if staying at night is needed I can always couch crash if needed.. I'll bring my own blanket though lol As members of your family, I make sure they get not only properly fed and walked with, but that they get the attention, entertainment and discipline that you want from them! Whether they be dogs or cats, I know to give them space when I'm new and let them get used to my presence and scent. If they're skittish, I make sure to wear socks and not reach out to pet them, so that the footsteps don't spook em too often and that they don't think I'm chasing them 😅. I'm used to both auto feeders, wet food and custom made pet meals, so if you have a unique way to properly feed your pets I'll make sure to adhere to the procedure as well 🙂‍↕️. Same with their activities, I won't do anything you wouldn't want them to do, only things that you AND your family member approve of!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Ashley! She has done so well with Cooper. He can be quite a challenging dog, but he loves when she visits him and he behaves better for her than he does for us! She is so knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and we call her The Cooper Whisperer! She is excellent with communication, also, providing real time pictures, as well as status updates!

Such a blessing to have Jacqueline hang out and take care of our pups. She was the best communicator and went above and beyond for us. You can tell she loves animals and immediately gave so much love and attention to ours. She followed our instructions perfectly and even did extra when we had unexpected packages. So grateful for her time and help.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Friendswood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Friendswood is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 4,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Friendswood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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!

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.

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Friendswood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
