“Desiree was amazing in caring for our 3 cats and turtle and provided pictures at every visit (twice daily) to let us know how they were doing. :) We will definitely use her again!”
“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: I have taken care of many kinds breeds for about 10 years now and I have personally had different kinds since I was 10 years old. I’m currently available any day except Sunday because of my religion. I’m usually free on Fridays and Saturdays. During the week will work if need be. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to my schedule I take great care with other peoples pets as if they were my own. I currently have two large dogs, one German Rottweiler and one German Shepherd. They are my fur babies and I try to stay very active with both of them as well as other peoples pets unless they require otherwise
“Adrianna did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She was always on time, very responsive, and incredibly kind. She made sure our cat received his medications on schedule and included photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. When we arrived home, the house was clean and well cared for. Our cats tend to vomit frequently, and I didn’t find a single mess, so it was clear that Adriana did a wonderful job cleaning up after them. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Kierstan was consistent and patient with my shy cat! She checked in every day, sent pictures to help me connect with the cat even while I was gone, and did the sweep I asked to check for any signs of unwellness or any issues that might not have been obvious otherwise. Thank you Kierstan!!!”
About: Hello! I love dogs and all things plants! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life, growing up with at least two in my home and spending my summers in high school pet and house sitting. I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from high energy pets to older dogs needing extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for fish, lizards and other small animals. I’m organized, communicative, and able to handle unexpected situations calmly, so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands! I work part-time and am preparing for grad school. This allows me to have more flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions are followed carefully. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.
About: Hi! I’m Makena, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my 6 year old, River. I’ve cared for dogs for years through friends, family, and my own pets, and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel comfortable. I’m experienced with dogs who have anxiety and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re with me. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is safe and happy! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and can be available for overnights on both weekdays and weekends. Since I’m already home caring for my own dog, I can easily incorporate additional visits and provide reliable, timely care. I’m great at sticking to routines and can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, and check-ins as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress. I’m very attentive when it comes to things like secure doors, leashes, feeding guidelines, and overall environment safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space with care. I also take the time to understand each pet’s personality; whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I am experienced with separation anxiety, leash pulling, and other various behavior concerns. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Cierra was great! She accepted a last minute request to check in on my pups and did an excellent job making sure they were happy and cared for. Very happy with her sitting services!!!”
“We are so thankful for Tatiana being available and taking care of Selene. She came by to meet her before the scheduled date and made our first experience go so smoothly. We had great communication, loved the daily pictures and I just knew Selene was in good hands. If we were staying in houston longer we’d book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“This was our first time having Sebastian look after our dog and two cats. We are so glad to have found him! He is very communicative, prompt, and our pets evidently loved his visits! We enjoyed receiving report cards after each visit, complete with pictures. He shared any concerns he had, shared some funny stories about our pets’ mannerisms (?), and played tug and fetch with our dog. He even spent some quality time with our cats, which is a big deal! (The one who doesn’t really like anyone seemed to really like Sebastian, which we are grateful for!) We are so appreciative of the quality of care and will be booking with Sebastian again. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, and have raised a high energy working breed from a puppy. I know basic obedience training techniques as well. I'm calm, patient, and excited to work with your four-legged friend! I'm currently enrolled in college, but I'm available every day except Wednesday and Thursday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.. during certain periods of the semester I will not be available due to midterms/finals but I will be prompt in letting you know so you can make alternate arrangements. At this time my home cannot accommodate another pet. But I am very conscientious about puppy proofing and ensuring my time with your dog is safe and fun!
About: I grew up in a house that always had at least 3 cats. Currently we have 5 cats, so a bit of a crazy house, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Growing up with many cats has taught me about the uniqueness of each cat’s personality, and that each cat requires care and attention in different ways. I’m a post-grad pre-med student, so currently I’m studying for the MCAT and volunteering. I have a lot of free time throughout the day that I would be able to care for your pets. In my home, I clean the litter-boxes everyday along with the food bowls. I like sweeping the areas so no litter or food crumbs remains around the floors. I also clean my counters multiples times a day since the cats like to chill on them. Any accidents, like throw-up, are cleaned immediately.
“We have used Ethan to watch our two dog a couple of times. He is great always on time. Goes above and beyond to make sure my pups are taken care of when I’m out of town. I will continue to use him. Thank you so much Ethan.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens to cats to dogs, with dogs being my specialty. Once a pet is in my care, they’re treated like family and loved as if they were my own. I believe in feeding quality food, providing plenty of walks, and making sure every pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have two large Border Collies and a small Norwich Terrier, each with their own unique personalities, so I’m very comfortable handling different sizes, energy levels, and attitudes. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be genuinely cared for, loved, and included. My schedule is very flexible, as I’m a stay-at-home mom and also help care for my aging veteran father. I’m available throughout the day and happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Feel free to text me with details about your pet, and let’s connect to see how I can help. I tailor walks and meals to each pet’s vibe, breed, size, energy, and attitude included. Walks are just the right length, and mealtime is always supervised with bowls spaced out (no food thieves on my watch). Lots of love, happy tails, and safe care always.
About: Compassionate animal care 20yrs of experience providing attentive care for dogs of various breeds and temperaments. Proven track record in managing daily routines, administering medications, and maintaining high client satisfaction through reliable communication. Administered oral and topical medications to senior dogs following strict dosage instructions provided by owners. Kennel Sanitation, Record Keeping are some other things I can add upon request. I look forward to the possibility of discussing a meet and greet in person or video call. Thank you for your time and look forward to meeting your fur baby. I am retired and visit my kids in colleges sometimes. I have lots of free time available and would love the opportunity to care for your pet. Schedule today I look forward to hearing from you. I have a fenced yard with cameras and low maintenance grass. I am able to do owners home visits and walks for now. Set up a appointment today.
“We are so thankful for Sarah. She went above and beyond for our pets this trip. Sarah took over after we had another pet sitter for a week (only because Sarah had been on vacation) and the condition she found our house in was awful. Not only did Sarah clean up the previous sitter's disaster, but spent extra time with our animals, even going out to get them extra treats. We now intend to plan our trips around Sarah's schedule because we love how much she loves and cares for our animals. I honestly don't believe there is a better person out there for our pets.”

Arielle was very communicative and assisted us with a last minute booking. She went the extra mile to take care of our dog while we were out. She even checked on her twin e in one day because the weather was bad. We will definitely book for our future vacations. The daily pictures were perfect and reassuring.
Tiffany did an amazing job looking over my cats while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her. She was on time, interacted with the cats, cleaned up when they made an accident even though I told her she didn’t need to and I’d get to it. She is fantastic.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Friendswood is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 October 2026, there are 4,404 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
