“Marcelina is amazing! She watched two of my puppies. One a larger breed that has epilepsy and I’m usually afraid to leave because I don’t know if someone will make him feel as comfortable as I do. Giving him his meds on time and feeding him properly is very important. And she treated him exactly as I would! My smaller puppy she was also able to watch at the same time! She sent pictures and made me feel so comfortable. I appreciate her so much. Most of us know how hard it is to find someone we can trust while we’re away. I was to be gone for two nights while she watched my fur babies! Book her she’s wonderful!”
“Michaela was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She communicated very well and sent many updates. The house was even cleaner than when I left it. I would recommend Michaela to any friend.”
“Abigail treated our pet as if they were her own and kept us updated with pictures and videos. She was extremely punctual and communicated any issues that arose. We give Abigail five stars and we'll definitely be using her again.”
About: At the young age of 10 I started gaining experience in dog sitting, daycare, and taking animals on walks. I know the importance of communicating with pet parents as well my experience of ensuring animal safety, going to the vet, and specific diets. My sister has a pet business and I worked with her for a long time to gain more knowledge and experience hands on. I have a lot of experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs including grooming or pet-handling. Currently I am in school for drone operations and have a good amount of time to watch, love on, and enjoy taking care of your fur baby💗 For my clients no matter the service I provide photo and video updates, knowing how it feels to leave my furbaby with another person than me or my fiancé. I also keep my phone nearby so that I am able to quickly respond to any text or calls I may receive.
“Samantha did a wonderful job with our crew of 2 Aussies, a Husky, and a rabbit. A high energy bunch for anyone. Not only did she make sure their basic needs of food, water, & potty time were taken care of, She also made friends with them, played with them, loved & cuddled them, and sent us updates & photos each day. We have already requested to have Samantha back for our next trip away.”
“Jenna was excellent and we would definitely have her back to care for our animals. Her communication was top notch! Jenna went above and beyond when our dog got sick on the last day and she had to clean up quite a mess. Not only did she take a crate outside to wash, she also washed two of our three dogs as well. Highly recommend !”
“Amanda was great I appreciate her communication updates throughout the time her watching my cat Marassa. She sent regular photos without me asking and followed all my instructions. I’d definitely use her again”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since i was 9. I have always loved dogs and the different personalities that they have. I have been a reliable person to trust to check in, feed, play, take on walks, and just dog sit for everyone. I am currently job searching so i will be working this full time. I am usually always available. I do go to church on sunday morning but besides that I am available! I have a fenced in yard and on dog. He is super friendly. He loves to go for walks and make new friends at the dog park.
“Overall, I am VERY happy with Kahealani. She kept us updated throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and even handled an issue with the neighbors dog who learned (or maybe it was our dogs who learned) to operate the latch on the gate between our yards and decided to come over for a swim. We have not had the best luck finding a pet sitter, but I am pretty sure we found someone in Kahaelani that took care of our babies in a way that made us feel happy. For the first time in a while, we did not have to worry about our puppies while we were gone, we knew they were in GREAT hands. I will be sending her name to a couple of my neighbors who are looking for a sitter for their dogs. She was GREAT and I cannot wait to use her services again, and I know my puppies can't wait!!!”
“Allison was amazing with our girls Milli and Maxi. She was responsive with all her replies, our special requests and we felt at ease with Allison taling care of our girls at home. The babies always had big smiles and were always very relaxed. Thanks for all the updates and a great job all around. The girls look forward to her next visit.”
“She was very accommodating. I was away for work and she was able to coordinate with ease and pick up my dog. She was available for pick up and drop off and made planning very easy. When I returned from my trip to get my dog, she was packed and ready to go. I would recommend Kenzy to others looking for someone to watch their dog(s)!”
“This was our first time using Tuongvi and her partner, Reinaldi and it will not be our last! They stayed at our house with our three dogs for six nights and we couldn’t have been more at ease. Tuongvi is very responsive and sent a ton of picture updates. One of our dogs is newly diabetic and it was our first time leaving him with someone else to handle insulin injections. Another one of our dogs is dog aggressive and they followed all our specific instructions. We came home to a clean house and happy pups and some really cute Polaroid pictures of the dogs. Thank you both so much for taking amazing care again! We can’t wait to have you back in July!”
“Terra was great and took such good care of my cat while I was away. She sent frequent daily updates with pictures which was so appreciated. I will definitely contact Terra for a future stay!”
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hockley on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,321 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hockley. 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 Hockley 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 Hockley 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.
Tip: 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 Hockley 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 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.

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.
