“Amanda took excellent care of my beagle guy while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos! It gave me real peace of mind. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely book them again if I ever travel back to Houston.”
“My second time booking with Desdrianneja and I felt so comfortable leaving Onyx in her care again! She did not disappoint and communicated with me every day. Onyx loves her and I appreciate her professionalism and kindness towards not only my precious boy, but me as well. Thank you Desdrianneja 💗💗”
“We highly recommend Sara and will definitely be hiring her again! She did an amazing job walking our large, leash reactive dogs and handled them with no issues. I noticed on her profile that she has two children, and I let her know she was welcome to bring them along if she wanted to. She sent us so many adorable photos and videos from each visit, and our dogs were happily cuddled up with her kids. It was clear that Sara and her children are wonderful with dogs, and we felt completely comfortable with them around ours. Sara was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated throughout the visits. After the first day, I hardly even checked my phone because I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We truly only have positive things to say. Thank you again, Sara! We’ll definitely be booking with you again! ❤️”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting. I can help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you leave. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up around all kinds of dogs and cats, including Rhodesian Ridgebacks, small dogs, and everything in between. I have a German Shepherd named Kenya, plus cats and kittens, so taking care of animals is something I’m used to. My schedule is pretty open, so I have some flexibility with availability. I’m not the type to rush in and out. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my German Shepherd, Kenya, along with my cats and kittens, so I’m used to daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning, and giving each animal plenty of attention. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.I keep up with their usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest schedule while giving them plenty of attention along the way. I also pay attention to the little things—how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what they’re used to at home. Most importantly, I respect the pet parent’s instructions and treat every animal as an individual.
“Ani was awesome with our two dogs! She’s friendly and meshed well with them. We really appreciated her watching after them while we were out of town and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Outstanding sitter! Followed all instructions meticulously, including our senior dog's medication schedule. Sent daily photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Kept both dogs happy, loved, and well cared for. Left our home completely clean, tidy, and respected. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful pet and house sitter!”
“Daniela is great!! This was our 2nd time to hire Daniela to stay with our dogs while we were away and I knew they were in great hands. She arrived on time and was communicative. We look forward to booking Daniela again in the future.”

“We had such a great experience with Sarah! I was so happy to see how quickly Maggie took to her and how much love, attention, and snuggles she gave her while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Maggie was being so well cared for. Sarah also left our home just as clean and tidy as we left it, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Sarah and would happily book her again!”
About: I have always had pets in my life . Now I share two dogs with my grandfather and I help him take care of them as well. There’s a park behind my apartment complex and it’s perfect for them to run around. I want to be able to sit other people animals in need and whenever . I am currently working as full time medical assistant working Monday-Friday 740am-6pm but I get an hour lunch and work 10 mins away from my job . I have a big living and bedroom . There is dog area in my apartment complex for them to use the restroom outside with doggie bags and we can always walk to the park which is outside of my window . It’s perfect for them to run around and be free for a bit .
“Jayla was excellent with Patience. She was attentive and responsible. Patience had to take medication and due to that medicine, he had to relieve himself more than usual. Of course, this created more work for her. I really appreciated her diligence. I would definitely use her again in the future. Pat A.”
About: I’ve taken care of dog ever since I was 10. My dream job was to open a hotel for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and that’s still the goal .

I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care and work around their individual routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first. I provide a clean, comfortable, and secure environment, keep a close eye on pets in my care, and follow their normal routines and their parents’ instructions. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
“Koryn was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and our house while we were away. She sent us regular updates on how the dogs were doing, which we really appreciated! We came home to happy pups and a clean house. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!”

About: I am 33 years old & a graduate of University of Houston. I live in the southeast part of Houston, Tx. I live in a two story house in a gated community with plenty walking space & that is also pet friendly with my parents & my dogs Chase & Callie! He's a pomeranian mixed with maltese as well as she is & they both are characters. Ive always had dogs from my childhood to now they are just a joy to have. I have dog sat for my friends & I get along well with all types of dogs no matter how big or small. My availability currently is completely open since im home for the summer & waiting to hear back from job opportunities. Most weekends im available unless my calendar says different. If you can't make it to my home, I would be happy to with no problem at all or if you prefer keeping your dog(s) at home to come to your home and help you out. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs throughout my whole childhood up till now. The only reason I can think of why we didn't keep them is either my family moved and one of our dogs was sick. I'm definitely a dog person I have an instant connection whenever I meet one because I love them so much, they are truly woman's best friend. About my yard No backyard but plenty grassy, walking space along the fences and at the parks. My experience administering medication Yes, I have to give my dog his pills when needed. As stated before im completely open. Dogs can go out as much as they need to & walked around the community as well. Play time, dog park or whatever needs to be fulfilled. Pets are allowed wherever in the home, furniture included. Your pets will definitely feel as if they have another home away from home. Whatever you do or dont do at your home is applied in mine.

About: I’ve been caring for pets through house sitting (several platforms) and personal referrals for over 3 years, including dogs and cats with a variety of needs and personalities including medication distribution. I’m experienced with overnight stays, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and providing a calm, consistent environment while owners are away. I also work remotely, so I’m able to be present in the home for extended periods, giving pets more attention, supervision, and stability compared to sitters who are in and out throughout the day. Most of my experience has come from repeat sits and trusted referrals, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home for extended periods throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and companionship without long gaps. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings when needed. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort, and I keep spaces clean and secure at all times. Since I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can provide regular updates for peace of mind.

Erin was amazing with our anxious girl! We were leaving behind our pup with separation anxiety for the first time in 4 years, and she made the whole process stress free, for me and our dog. Faye warmed up to Erin immediately in the meet and greet, and I knew we had made a good choice! I got regular updates and pictures the entire time we were gone, Erin made sure she got her medication daily, and she got lots of snuggle time! Erin not only took great care of Faye, but our house as well. I came back after a week to the house in perfect order. As an anxious pet parent with an equally anxious pup, I don't trust my pets with very many people. But Erin has earned that trust and I would suggest her to anyone!! I will be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Galena Park is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $34 per night. 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 3,598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Galena Park. 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 Galena Park 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 Galena Park 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Galena Park 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 , 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 .
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 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.
