“Regulo exceeds all expectations. He answered the call last minute while I was out of town and my original dog sitter no called no showed with my dogs. I came home to stress free dogs who were taken care of, thank you for giving me a peace of mind.”
About: I have seven years of experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older dogs who prefer a slower pace.

Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my daily schedule to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need.

About: I am full time stay at home mom. I do have 3 fur babies. I have 1 male dog & 2 cats who are fixed & utd on shots. I do also have a fenced in yard that I believe is decent in size. I would love to care for your fur babies, go on walks, or have play dates as well. I do require you to have a kennel for the safety of everyone & due to some past experiences of damage & accidents. Animals don’t always act the same around all people & other animals. I do also charge an extra fee of $50 for “excessive” excrements & urine of your animal inside of my house for the cost of cleaning products & inconvenience to my family. If you have any questions feel free to message me any time. I’m almost always available & look forward to caring for your little fur babies like my own! ☺️ Use code “KENZYW92410” to get $20 off your FIRST booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/kenzyw92410
“Kylie did a wonderful job dropping in on our cats during our week long trip! We met beforehand and she made sure we were comfortable. She really paid careful attention to detail—disposed all litter and food cans so I didn’t come home to a stinky mess. Swept up scattered litter, and even took care of the trash bins. Over the years we’ve had friends and family members, and sometimes paid neighbor kids to watch our cats while we’re gone. This is by far the best experience for all! Thank you so so much!! We will definitely be booking other visits with you in the future.”
About: I grew up always having a dog, or three, in the house. This means I have many years experience of getting along with, and taking care of various small to medium breeds. Feeding, playing, petting, walking, and cleaning up after them. I have also sat for friends who went out of town, caring for dogs as well as cats. I just moved back into town and, aside from helping my parents with their two dogs, my summer schedule is wide open. I would love to fill the time by meeting you and caring for your precious pet(s)! I am quiet-natured and good at building trust with new furry friends. I am intentional and thorough when it comes to pet care as well as maintaining the home environment. I also love to send pictures to keep your mind at ease while your pets are in my care.
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hockley on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,929 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hockley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hockley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 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.
