About: I've taken care of a few of my friend's and family's dogs over the past few years. I have only had cats growing up, but I love dogs and would love to spend more time with them! I'm currently a student, so I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to care for pets. I would spend ample time with them, as I am missing my animals from home immensely. I cannot board currently due to my housing restrictions, but I will take care of your pets with the attention I would give to my own.

About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs! I’m now living in Galveston while attending UTMB, and as a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m currently a full-time nursing student at UTMB with classes on Monday and Thursday. I’m living on the island and available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends. By learning about a specific pet and their needs you can know exactly what they want. My Golden Retriever knows everyday that he is going to get a walk and go to the dog park a couple times as well as get very spoiled. I would like to do the same thing with your animals while building a relationship with each one.

About: I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending my time around sweet dogs and other animals! I already enjoy going on walks, so I’d love to have your pup along for some company. Whether they love playing fetch, getting belly rubs, exploring on a walk, or going for a light jog, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I have experience overnight sitting for both big and small dogs and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, medications, and following any special instructions you leave for me. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll make sure yours gets plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I’m also a cat lover, so I’m happy to help with cat sitting and drop-ins too! 🐾 I’m flexible, attentive, and quick to respond, so feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am a student with no other priorities! I would love to develop a consistent and personal routine you and your pet can rely on! Safety and secured animals and property are extremely important to my service to you as a pet sitter. I will make sure you and your pet feel safe and secured when I come to assist you guys!

About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.

About: Hi! We're Ashley and Chantelle, a dependable animal-loving couple who treats every pet like family. One of the biggest benefits of booking with us is that Ashley works from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We're also proud pet parents to three dogs of our own—Mylo, who is 8 years old, and Rose, who is 4 and Astro who is 3. Caring for them every day has given us firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the love and attention dogs need to thrive. We enjoy staying active and providing walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, we'll follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. We believe in reliable communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. We believe pets are family. Unless requested by the owner, dogs are not kenneled and are free to relax, play, and enjoy our home just like our own dogs, Mylo, Rose and Astro. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Ashley works from home, so pets are supervised and cared for throughout the day with plenty of attention, potty breaks, companionship, feeding, walks, and playtime. After Chantelle gets off work, we continue walks, play, and care together, making sure pets receive consistent love, structure, and attention throughout the day. We prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, pet-friendly environment. At our home, we have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play. Pets in our care are treated like family and are never left unattended during outdoor time. We maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. Dog daycare is also available in our home with plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day.

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).

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old while living with my parents, including feeding, playing, and helping with daily care. In the past few months, I have also been taking care of my own cat, Zeno, which has given me consistent hands-on experience with feeding schedules, attention, and daily pet needs. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm available to provide reliable cat care throughout the week. I can work with your cat's regular feeding and care routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll communicate with you during each visit and do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Your cat's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, keep litter boxes clean, and make sure doors and windows remain secure. I respect your home, keep your cat's routine as consistent as possible, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can feel safe and cared for while you're away.

About: Hello! If you're looking for a sitter to come to your house, a dog walker, or just someone to check in on your baby, look no further. I have 3 years of experience in the veterinary field as a receptionist and over a decade of experience in caring for my own dogs! I love animals and am attentive, dependent, and knowledgeable. I can care for babies of any age and have experience handling and giving oral medications. I just moved to Texas in the beginning of September and am currently unemployed, so I can be there to give your baby round the clock care and attention! When watching your baby in your home, I will be there to make sure they get appropriate exercise and plenty of snuggles! I am able to stay overnight as needed or can pop in to check on them throughout the day, whichever works best for you. When requesting for me to stay overnight in your home, please be aware that I own a very friendly dachshund who will need to join me!

We have been using Cathy for years now. We trust her, she is very reliable, and our cats are always safe and sound when we return. She has often gone above and beyond to take care of unexpected things that have occurred while we were away. We really cannot recommend her enough.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Galveston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Galveston is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 710 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Galveston. 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 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 Galveston. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
