“Katie pet sit for my 2 dogs Lucky and Remi over the Labor Day weekend. Katie came to my house prior to pet sitting to meet Lucky and Remi. Remi usually has to warm up to you but she went right up to Katie I knew right them my babies would be in good hands, because Remi does not just go up to strangers or people she's not familiar with. Katie kept me informed the whole weekend and even sent me pictures. I would definitely recommend her..”
“We had a wonderful experience with Liliana! She was so great and truly went above and beyond in every way! She communicated, made me feel at ease about leaving my fur babies, and was the perfect house sitter! I’m so happy to have found her!”
About: I've had all manner of pets during my life, being the primary caretaker of cats and dogs in the home since a very young age, dogs and cats being my favorite due to their playful nature. Now that my kids are getting older and wanting more pets in our home (we have 1 cat), I'd like to teach them responsibility and pet care by petsitting and walking dogs. Plus with all their energy and love, kids make the perfect friend for energetic dogs that love to play. My cat would also love a playmate, as he grew up with a big dog and misses having a friend! I currently work from home, so I could use the company and breaks to go outside and take walks just as much as your furry best friend! I have a large yard perfect for playing fetch and a big house so pups won't feel cramped. My kids are full of energy and would love a an energetic dog to play with or even an old dog to pour lots of love into with petting and belly rubs in abundance.
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn’t have a multitude of pets. I grew up with a family that loves the outdoors and everything in it. Something special about my care is that I’ve had years of experience in rehabbing injured animals. Because of this I’ve learned that patience and attentiveness are so important to a happy healthy pet. I’m devoted to meeting your pet halfway- or wherever I’m needed- in order to help you in any way I can! I work part time Monday-Friday and by 9AM I have the rest of the day to myself! My schedule would be most ideal for a family who needs help during the day or any time from 9:30AM-7PM. I look forward to working something out with you. I appreciate thorough instruction to insure that I am handling things exactly the way you imagine and prefer. Aside from caring for your pet I also like to lightly clean if needed/wanted to give you a little less to deal with.
About: Caring for people's babies is my ultimate dream job! From their cuteness to their unique personalities, I fall in love with every baby that comes my way. I've always had pets. Mostly dogs but I adore cats as well. Snuggling, playing or teaching- I'm never happier than when I'm around animals. I know leaving your babies for any reason can cause you some worry. Let me help to ease your mind. Your pets will always be in good hands with me and they will always be treated as my own. I will walk them for some exercise, come by to feed them or simply just to play! You can count on me to know that when you're not with them, your baby is not only being cared for but also loved. I currently work Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I can certainly come by to walk or feed your babies if you're working late. I can take care of your babies any weekend. If I could do this full time, I would. I will feed your babies on the schedule you provide. Unfortunately, my babies are older and don't particularly like other animals but I'd be glad to watch yours in your home and that way you know your home is protected as well. I can also provide a reference!
“Damarilys did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs for the two days/nights she was with them. Her response time to messages I sent both before and during her sitting time was more than satisfactory. She also sent multiple pictures to of both dogs during her time with them. I’d definitely use her again if we’re going out of town. Amy”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all ages from bottle feeding pets to giving injections to senior pets. I look forward to meeting your SETX pets! I currently work part time so I have lots of available extra time to go spend time with animals. I’m super flexible with my schedule and am available most every day. I love taking pups out to the local parks, or exercising your pet in the back yard. I sadly cannot keep any dogs in my house.
About: I've been having animals my whole life, and I currently have a 14 year old kitty.I also sit for family, friends, co-workers and neighbors !!! I'm currently unemployed, so I can sit for you fur babies anytime you need me to, I'd love to treat your pets my like family I will be sitting in the comfort of their own home. Whatever they need I'm there, with whatever the parent approves of, of course 😉
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.
About: Spending time with your animals is a joy for me, I take pride in working to establish a trusting relationship with them. Our property is fully fenced with squirrels and birds to chase, galore! I work from home so the animals get plenty of attention and outside breaks throughout the day. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, responsive and respectful.. that's me! Over the last 35 years I've owned all kinds of animals and dog breeds of all ages and sizes; anxious rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, epileptic, diabetic dogs, & i've even gained experience walking dogs at shelters. I've always loved to include my dogs hiking, camping and to the beach. We've bred and birthed 2 litters of the worlds cutest dachshunds! Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. I start each day tending to the animals about 7am; waters refilled, potty breaks etc.. I make sure we spend time playing outside several times throughout the day. I work from home so they get plenty of attention. Usually I work in a long indoor nap in the height of the days heat. Rover dogs always have their own room (or guest house if you prefer/require) to sleep in at our house, we won't crate them unless they aren't able to roam-free safely, or if you request it. I do not allow rover dogs upstairs, or in our bedroom at night. Safety & the well being of the animals is always the most important! Introductions to my dogs will be made at the owners request, & animals comfort level. We have a fully fenced yard with a minimum of 4ft high chain link. There is also a fully fenced 10x10x6' kennel if you have a dog that can REALLY jump, they would still be able to spend time in the yard off-leash. There are separately fence portions of my yard if you prefer your animal be kept separate for any reason. If you need help with pick up, drop off, or bathing just say so! If you wonder about leaving your dog here just message me with any questions or come see the space. I know the anxiety of trusting someone with your best bud and I aim to help relieve that. Please for the safety & comfort of ALL animals we require that dogs being boarded are up to date on rabies and vaccinations including flea. Please let me know if your dog requires medication, special attention, is scared of storms.. etc. Please let me know if you DO NOT want your dogs to play with ours for whatever reason it will not hurt my feelings. We have some chickens (in a run), and there are horses on the property next to ours FYI, they are very used to dogs. We are on a dead end so there is little traffic and no kids living here. If you prefer I can even accommodate housing your animal completely separately, in our very peaceful guest apartment, that has worked well for some special need babies.
“Melissa is absolutely amazing. I have been living here in Beaumont alone and didn't know what I'd do if I needed help w my two puppies and I took a chance and she will be a regular part of our furry family care. She's professional, fun, experienced, flexible, pleasant...I can't say enough good things about Melissa. We will be repeat customers for a long time. Book w Melissa. You won't ever have to worry about your beloved companions...and that's saying alot because I haven't ever entrusted my pups in anyone's care. You'll love Melissa and your pups will too.”
About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: My mom has relied on me to feed, care, walk, and bathe our dogs growing up. My grandma has also relied on me to Watch overheard puppies as she left for vacation vacations. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I am currently working part time, I am available every weekday until 4 PM when I would go to work. While at work, I have three family members that can care for your pets while I am gone. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I am more than happy to kennel, my friendly golden retriever and orange kitten whenever.
“Tessa cared for our three dogs over a 4day period. She was able to add my son’s dog to our little pack last minute as his sitter was unavailable. She is prompt and professional. One of my dogs is on daily medications, she was very thorough with his medications and made sure to give me updates. She is sensitive to their needs and spends time with them each visit. I was very happy with her services and will continue to work with her in the future. I highly recommend Tessa for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I currently have owned/trained an abundance of different animals. I’ve been around and have experience with dogs ranging from Siberian huskies to Golden Retrievers. I’ve even owned two different handicapped dogs throughout my life. I’ll be able to handle any fur baby coming my way. ♥️ I am currently working part time and not at all past 3:15pm nor do I work weekends. So your babies have my full attention weekends and nights. I have a privacy fenced in yard and two inside cats that keep to themselves. None of our cats care or mind other pets. Your pet will be safe and loved.

Katie was fantastic. She was super patient with Frankie which he really needs. She kept me updated while I was away including sending pictures. She kept my house nice and tidy. She even washed my bedding / towels before I returned which was so nice! I would definitely recommend Katie to others and would definitely book with her again.

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 Groves 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 Groves 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 Groves 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
