“Came home to happy animals. Received daily pics and I must say I was quite pleased with the care of my dog Puddin, cat Misty and my house. Most definitely would use Sebastian again and after I finish this review will be scheduling him again. Fingers crossed he is available.”
“Kyle is the best! Kyle is polite caring loves my dogs I will definitely use him for my next dog sitting,Kyle was great with my Sophie being a senior dog he made sure she was comfortable, carefully carried her to do the potty and Kyle shared video s during each visit which was very comfortable knowing everything was going great and for my small schnauzer Pebbles he spent time playing with Pebbles and my dogs took a liking to Kyle. Thank you🐾🐾”
“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. ❤️”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous at first but Madeline was the best and so reassuring!! She sent me pictures everyday and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was being taken care of :)”
“Maricarmen did a great job taking care of my dog while I went out of town. She sent lots of communication and pictures so I would know Bindy was ok. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to bok again”
“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.”
“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!”
“Matty did a wonderful job caring for my four dogs. She was punctual, responsible, and stayed for the full amount of time we agreed upon. She communicated very well, sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, and asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to each dog’s individual needs. She handled separating them responsibly, made sure everyone had access to foo/water, and was calm and patient enough that even my more sensitive dog, Missy, warmed up to her and became affectionate with her. That meant a great deal to me. My dogs clearly liked her, and I felt confident that they were safe and well cared for while I was away. She was thoughtful, reliable, efficient, and genuinely caring. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my dogs again.”
About: I have experience caring for animals of different species, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also trained a service dog, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding canine behavior. I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and paying attention to changes in their behavior, appetite, and activity. While I’m new to pet sitting professionally, caring for animals is something I’m very comfortable with, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and attention I give my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, drop in visits, and dog walks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will communicate about scheduling to make sure their needs are met. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your instructions, keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, and give your pet the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have always had great experiences with dogs of all shape and size. From puppy liters to great danes. They all enjoy a good ear rub and belly scratch. I also have a family member that runs a boutique petfood/supply store and gives us all the inside info on the best foods and snacks to feed our fur babies. Pets always get the snacks and head scratches in the morning and evening. I always make sure they get attention and exercise they need for the day. I have fenced in yard, 2 crates available, LG and Med. We have NO CATS, I only host 1 family at a time. Only 2 pups at a time, must meet mine at neutral location: city park/dog Park.
“This was my first time using Adele. She was great , my golden retriever loved her . She was very good communication . Will definitely use her again . Sent lots of pictures !”
“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.”
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.
About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).
“After I had to leave for a family emergency, Michelle was able to watch my dogs within hours, and did such a great job despite my lack of in depth instruction. My boys looked happy in every picture and knowing they were well taken care of gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to be present in my situation. I cannot thank her enough”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Keirstan was great with our two dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. Made sure one finished up his meds he'd been on and the other who is a big ball of energy was keep occupied. We received pictures and updates throughout our trip which was nice. The kids loved knowing their dogs were ok. Would absolutely recommend!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,776 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.
