About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. From raising my own dogs through every stage of life—puppies to seniors—I understand the love and attention pets need to thrive. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable, caring hands. My goal is to provide the same dependable, compassionate care I give my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work an early morning schedule from 12:00AM to 8:30AM or sometimes a little later, which allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the rest of the day. For overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs, my husband is also available to provide morning feedings while I’m at work. This ensures your pets receive consistent care and attention, even during early hours. Despite my work schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, compassionate, and exceptional care, treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Although I do not offer boarding services at my home due to the animals I already care for, I provide in-home pet care with the utmost dedication. When staying in your home, I treat it as if it were my own, ensuring your pets are cared for just as I would care for my own. I follow every detail you provide to keep them calm, comfortable, and happy throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that they are in loving, capable hands.
“Shylah was absolutely great with both Hunter and Daisy! She was very patient, dependable, and reliable. I booked her last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. She took great care of the pups, kept me updated with pictures, and had excellent communication throughout. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Sheila again and would highly recommend her!”

“Eden was wonderful, she was available within just a days notice, did a proper meet and greet and the dogs loved her. I got updates and photos during her visit, and I know my dog was so happy to have her company and the play time. I'm also happy to have found a new sitter in my area, for future bookings.”
“This is my 2nd time booking with Natalie, she is always 100% outstanding and takes great care of my cats. She also tried her best to help when we had some special needs. 100% recommended!!”
“Jadyn was absolutely amazing with our pups. She was very flexible, and always showed up on time or even before she was asked to be there. Our elderly dog is pretty specific about who he lets come around him, and it seems like he had a good time with Jadyn!😁Will definitely be using her again, thank you for a wonderful experience Jadyn🫶🏻”
“Kayla was super kind and helped me out last minute. She also was willing to come over and meet the animals while I was there before helping me out. She did show up a little late, which made me nervous since I’m quite a ways away at work. I was hopeful she’d spend the full 30 mins with Tilly to run around the yard and wear her out since she’s just a new pup and is being kenneled all day and give her more time in case she needed to poop, but she did play with her for a short bit.”

“Sergey was fantastic with Bentley! He followed all of my care instructions, kept me updated with photos, and really went the extra mile by spending extra time playing fetch with him, which Bentley absolutely loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. You can tell he has such a soft spot for animals and really knows how to connect with dogs easily. I would definitely book with Sergey again and highly recommend him! Thanks so much!”

She was wonderful with my three dogs and even came on her day off to make sure they were taken care of. She alerted me right away when she noticed my front door was open, which I really appreciated. Very reliable, communicative, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hockley is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 3,870 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hockley. 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 Hockley. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
