“Sebastion's family took wonderful care of our furbabies! They stayed at our home while we were away for our wedding and did not have to worry at all. We were so pleased with our experience and will definitely book again!”
About: Hi! I'm Caroline, a chiropractic student with a flexible schedule who loves spending time with animals. I've always been a huge dog lover, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requests to keep your pet comfortable and happy. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! As a chiropractic doctoral student, my schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, allowing me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention to your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll make every effort to keep them on their normal routine and provide regular updates while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive individualized care. I'm attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe and loved. I'll always treat your home with respect, carefully follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Second time booking Hannah and she was such a trooper for taking on the extra tasks we asked with the cats. Our shy GSD is finally warming up so we will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Kujo. He adored her. I received daily photos and clear communication from her during the stay. We will definitely be back. ❤️”
“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”
“Madeline took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation for spring break! She was great about following the specific food diet and medication regime for one of our dogs. We received many pictures of happy and smiling doggos.”
“We had a great experience with Suvanna. She took care of my two large dogs for more than three days. She followed all the instructions and stuck to my dogs’ schedule. Both of them were really happy with her. I would definitely take her help again next time.”
“From the first interaction through Rover, Eva was timely, professional, friendly, and thorough. She was a great a communicator and very thoughtful with my doggies. I could tell I would very much appreciate how attentive and interactive she was, with my pets as well as giving me updates while I was away. She had the initiative to ask detailed questions about my pets and took notes, offered to bring treats for them and even played with them outside. Since one my dogs has incontinence issues, she even brought items to protect my furniture. Overall, I am very pleased with Eva and encourage anyone to have confidence in booking with her. I look forward to rebooking with her myself.”
“Chi was great! Easy to communicate with, good with our dog, sent lots of videos and photos to keep our minds at ease while we were away. Highly recommend, will definitely contact her again for sitting.”
“This is my first time trusting someone to care for Blu. Amanda exceeded ALL of my expectations. I believe that dogs can sense souls of people that they meet, and Blu ADORED Amanda! She was so gentle and sweet with him. She was attentive to his needs and asked plenty of questions about the care she needed to provide. She sent frequent check-ins and pictures. If you want the best in care for your pup, she is your first choice! 10 stars! Thank you Amanda!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.
About: I have a solid level of experience caring for dogs of various breeds. I like to provide daily walks, feeding, playtime, and in-home care while following each dog’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I am attentive, reliable, and always mindful of safety. My consistent goal is provide dependable, loving care so your furry friend feels happy and well taken care of while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule so that allows my pet care to include walks, drop-ins, and sitting visits. I am able to maintain consistent routines while still being reliable and punctual. This flexibility allows me to give each dog attention they need without feeling rushed. I like to provide custom care for each dog which includes a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and make sure every dog feels at home.
“Ariella was absolutely fantastic with our dogs and extremely personable throughout this process. She was attentive to their individual needs and quickly built a bond with them. She was proactive in her communication sending photo and text updates daily. We came home to find our dogs and house were incredibly well cared for and the trash was even taken out to the curb. We'll be recommending her to everyone.”
“Neysha and her husband Teddy took great care of our fur babies. Lots of pictures and lots of updates while we were away. They got lots of love and attention and we look forward to engaging Neysha again.”
“I’m definitely a repeat client for Stacey. She is the best! She always does the most for my Winnie boy. I’ve had to leave him for long periods of time and short ones. No matter the case she will take care of your pooch just like you would. You can have peace of mind your pet is in the best hands possible.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Our boys love their time with Heather! Always good to have the peace of mind that our pups are well cared for. Excellent communicator and takes the best care of our dogs. She stayed in our house several nights and it is cleaner than when we left!”
“Keirstan watched my 3 dogs for the weekend and I would definitely have her house sit again! She always made sure to keep me updated, sent pictures/videos, took them to the dog park, and made sure they were always comfortable and tucked in for bed. I’m always nervous leaving my dogs but I felt at ease with her staying there and watching them. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Ana was fantastic! She house-sat for me for a week and took such great care of my dog and two cats. She was so patient with my 1 year old pup (who can take a little time to warm up to new people), sent great updates and photos, and even tidied up and swept while I was gone. She’s super easy to communicate with, laid-back, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would absolutely book her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Friendswood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Friendswood on Rover is $35.52 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 2,777 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendswood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
