“Tiffany was very friendly, flexible, and excellent with her communication! She sent updates and pictures - which I love! She was very attentive to our dogs and so grateful to have her watch our pups!”
“Meghan was great! She came in clutch last minute when my normal sitter was out of town and responded within minutes of my request. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, sent great updates with plenty of pictures and notes, and took wonderful care of my babies. I’ll definitely use her services again in the future if my normal sitter is unavailable ❤️”
“LeChelle is patient and kind even with our difficult cat. She’s communicative about daily activities and any questions. Great sitter and we’d definitely book her again!”
“Norma was able to help us out in a pinch when we made last minute plans to be out all day on a holiday weekend. She responded very quickly. Gave our 2 dogs a potty break and stayed with them for a 1/2 hr so we had no problems when we returned home. Would definitely use again!”
“We used Rover for the first time and we were definitely skeptical at first. However, we got very lucky with Molly. She always kept us informed about everything and was asking questions so she could make sure she was doing everything as well as possible. It was very clear she truly cared about our cats and was willing to do whatever was needed. We would definitely choose her in the future and recommend her to others. (she also took great pictures)”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was eight, including my own Labrador. I offer loving, attentive care, with special experience in senior pet attention. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their furry family members. I'm currently working part-time and attending school full-time. However, I'm very flexible and can easily plan time to play with your pups! For drop-in visits, I prioritize the dog's happiness and well-being. I ensure they receive the correct feeding and walking schedule, along with plenty of playtime. I also maintain a secure fenced yard and always use a leash and waste bags during walks.
“We ask Desiree for a day of drop-ins fairly last minute as our usual sitter was unavailable & she happily obliged. She was punctual & took great care of our Cooper. Would & will likely ask for her again when needed.”
About: I've casually babysat dogs and cats for family and friends for over 30 years. We joined Rover in 2016. Met some lifelong friends and pets throughout this process. We offer our services to the Friendswood community and surrounding areas. We're Texas raised girls with a good southern hospitality attitude and big hearts for all animals. I work from home and my daughter is home with me during the day to help care for Millie and friends. My work is very flexible. I usually work Sun - Thur from 7am - 3:30pm. We have a reliable fenced in yard to protect pets from getting out. If needed, we can easily crate your pet inside. Please note: we do have a swimming pool but are with pets at all time while playing out back. We provide plenty of walks in our pet friendly - gated neighborhood.
“Mariah did a fantastic job dropping in to check on my cat. She is an excellent communicator and went out of her way to provide the best service possible! I will absolutely re-book in the future, thanks again Mariah!”
About: What makes me different is the care and experience I bring to pups at every stage of life. I’ve helped care for newborn puppies and their mom, making sure the little ones were safe, loved, and thriving. I’m comfortable giving oral medications to both big and small dogs, and I have training in caring for seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it’s a wiggly puppy or a sweet older pup, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is something I truly enjoy working into my week. Right now, I’m in pharmacy tech clinicals during the day, but my afternoons and weekends are completely open for caring for pets. That means I can give plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and snuggles after my classes, and I’m available all day on weekends for longer stays or extra love. In my home, dogs are treated like family. My own pups (three small dogs and one big dog) are free roam, and I keep the environment safe, cozy, and supervised so everyone feels comfortable. I make sure there’s plenty of playtime, cuddles, and rest, and I always pay attention to each dog’s personality and needs.
“Adrianna did a GREAT job with my pets while we were on vacation!!! She watched my three ferrets, cat, three lizards, and frogs and each of them were taken great care of! She had great communication which was so appreciated since I can be a bit of a worrisome pet parent😅! I was 1000% reassured that my pets were in great hands when any lizard parents worst nightmare happened! Our slightly chunky cat, Louie, jumped on top of our lizards enclosure and broke the top! Leaving the top exposed, causing our lizard, Gustavo, to escape. Adrianna texted me as soon as she arrived for the check in and noticed what had happened. She let me know that she found Gustavo basking on the windowsill and took a pic of her holding him and putting him back in <3. We had just moved into the home right before leaving on vacation so all of our tools were packed up in unknown locations in the garage - but Adrianna immediately offered that her father could drop off a staple gun so she could stay and keep an eye on our lizard to make sure he didn’t escape again! Before I knew it she texted me that it was all fixed! I was so happy and thankful that she was able to get the issue solved so easily and ensure my pet was safe :,) Next time I go out of town I 100% hope she is available for rebooking :) 10/10!!!!!”
“Katie was so caring and professional. It was easy to work with her and she was understanding and flexible with our situation being we were traveling. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Kind and loving care is what I wanted for my fur babies and Madeline delivered in abundance! I will not hesitate to seek services from Madeline in the future. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have taking care of animals my whole Life. Now I am looking for dog friends for my senior black lab. Looking forward to getting to know you pup! I am a substitute teacher and student at UHCL. I have a flexible schedule. I also have a dog door for the dogs to come in and out as needed. I feed and give my dog water. I play with him each day and we do evening walks when it is cooler. I love to give my dogs treats for well behaved manners

Really amazing ! Could tell she truly loves taking care of animals. Followed instructions precisely. Great communication before and during, and plenty of pictures. I have an older pet, so it especially made my vacation stress free, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely use Jacqueline again !
Meghan was great! She came in clutch last minute when my normal sitter was out of town and responded within minutes of my request. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, sent great updates with plenty of pictures and notes, and took wonderful care of my babies. I’ll definitely use her services again in the future if my normal sitter is unavailable ❤️
Jackie did an amazing job caring for our cats, Artemis and Aphrodite, over New Year’s weekend. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about them. The detailed Rover cards were great, she brought in packages for us, and she even emptied the litter on her last night—such a thoughtful touch. Aphrodite warmed up to her immediately, and we really appreciated her flexibility with short notice. We’ll definitely be booking her again and recommending her to others!
Jason was quick to respond when we needed a last minute drop in for our pups. He was so great and attentive to our dog’s needs. He was also very respective to our home. Our yard was muddy and he made sure to clean our pups up before taking them back in. Will definitely use Jason again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Friendswood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Friendswood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Friendswood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendswood. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
