“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!”
“Luke did an amazing job communicating while we were out of town. My girl is very shy and anxious so he spent a good bit of time with her when we did our meet and greet. I was very appreciative! I will absolutely use Luke again!”
“My husband and I absolutely loved having Larisa care for our puppy! She kept us updated with so many sweet pictures while we were away, which meant so much to us. She made our pup feel so comfortable and loved that she actually missed Larisa when she left! We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would happily have her house sit for us again.❤️”
“Jairo took great care of my girls and my home. He was a great communicator, sent picture updates, took them on lots of fun walks and made sure they were happy and tucked in at night. It was very nice coming home to happy dogs and and a clean home, and made my trip much more enjoyable having peace of mind with regular updates.”
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”
“Can't say enough about Tuongvi! Excellent service! She's our sitter of choice and she should be yours! I'm not much for long reviews. Let me just say I doubt there's any better sitter out there!”

“Sandy did an amazing job. She took such good care of our 2 golden retrievers. She loved them while we were gone and kept us up to date on how they were doing with frequent text messages and pics. I just can't say enough about how good and reliable she is. We will use her anytime to decide to go away.”

About: I have taken care of my three dogs multiple times throughout the nine years. I’ve fed my dogs I babysat my dogs when my mom was out of town. I gave the medicine whenever they were needed and I played with them as much as I can. I currently do not have a job however I do have gymnastics from three till seven. The summer schedule is different. Around 9 am till 1:30 pm. I have three friendly dogs. One is a Boston terrier a boy, The second one is a girl English bulldog, and finally a boy poodle. All three are very friendly and lots of fun to play with. My fluffy puppies would always love to have your fluffy friend around!

I'm currently working 6a.m to 230p.m, M-F. I'll be avaliable after work for walks and in home visits. While im working from home message me anytime to take of your beloved pet. If I am working that day, just let me know and I can make arrangements for your pet. 🙂. My job gives me the option to flex my schedule. I'll treat your pets as if they were part of my family!

I do the same routine when dog sitting and dog walking. When walking my dog or yours I'm alway vilagte of my surrounding, for other dogs humans or other animals. FULLY SODDED BACKYARD!
“Nefta was absolutely incredible! I cannot recommend her enough. During her stay, it rained and our dogs got very dirty… she cleaned them up, our house was clean and she even washed and folded the towels she used. She sent lots of photos and updates during our time away. She took the stress out of leaving our boys for a week away on holiday! We will be using Nefta’s services again! Thank you for all you do!”
About: I work at a dog boarding & training facility. I have been the trainer there for 5 years now. I personally have 4 Belgian Malinois & 1 German Shepherd. I’m currently working full time as a dog trainer at a dog boarding facility but I am available any day after 3pm & anytime during the weekends! I always make sure dogs are secure when taking them on walks whether that be their harness or making sure the collar is tight enough that it doesn’t slip off.
“Ana was so amazing with my babes !!!! She was totally attentive and loving, and kept me updated each day. Totally appreciate her and will most certainly reach out to her next time I need to leave town 😊 Highly recommended !!!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets with unique needs and personalities. My sister’s Bichon Frise, Stormy, has taught me how to handle grooming, daily walks, and maintaining a loving environment for smaller, high-energy breeds. My boyfriend’s cat, Kilowa, has given me experience in managing independent and playful pets, ensuring he’s well-fed, entertained, and his litter box is always clean. I’ve also cared for his Husky, Silver, who requires plenty of exercise, long walks, and patience for her energetic personality. These experiences have shaped me into a dedicated and adaptable pet caregiver who always prioritizes the well-being of the animals I care for I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to attend your animals needs. I have more time to also be at your care as well. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and comfortable space tailored to each pet’s needs, including cozy resting areas, and constant supervision. I maintain their daily routines, from feeding schedules to exercise, ensuring they feel at home and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow detailed care instructions to replicate the pet’s normal environment. I treat every pet with love and attention as if they were my own.

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.
<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 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 , 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.
