About: Hello all my name is Danielle and I am here to give love to your fur babies. My husband and I are the loving owners of a 5 year St Bernard, 5 year old Anatolian shepherd, beautiful bird that is a green cheek conure. I have always loved animals and grew up next to a farm so I always was the kid trying to bring every stray kitten into the house. I grew up with many pets. 2 smaller mix breed dogs and 1 huge German shepherd I love them all!. I am available for walks drop in visits and overnights in my home only. I will be more than happy to care for your baby just as those on Rover whom have cared for mine. Send me a message to book! I am available evenings and weekends. I do have a full time job and do this in my free time. With my family support I can help others. My home is spacious and my dogs are very social with other dogs. I have a large back yard that is fully fenced in for more time to play outside. I am able to handle large dogs or any breeds. Happy to walk or sit with them in your home if needed. Ready to give lots of love.

Sandee was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time we had her cat sit and one of our cats and some unexpected medical needs arise and she was wonderful about keeping an eye out and keeping us apprised on how he was doing. She is super personable and did a great job!! Highly recommend!!

About: I don’t have professional experience, but I have had dogs as pets within my circle of friends and family most of my life. I’ve experienced caring for small and big dogs, as well as caring for dogs of all ages. As a passionate animal lover, your pets will be in good hands with me. I currently work part-time as a server. This gives me plenty of time during the day throughout the week to play with and take care of your fur babies! I’m a big animal lover and looking to fill more of my time by doing something I’ll love. I will take care of your pets with TLC in your home environment and during our walks together. Their safety and care is of utmost importance to me. Just let me know any specifics you need from me to help make your pet(s) feel loved and secure.

Dana takes superb care of our cats, including one who is semi-feral and traumatized. We first hired her when we had a diabetic cat who required insulin shots. Dana is a nurse, so she was fine with doing that. She takes time with kitties and sends us wonderful photos.

About: I have been watching our neighbors and family friend’s dogs and doing drop-ins since I was little. My family has also had a dog since I was in highschool. I take him on walks every evening and am responsible for feeding and letting him out when my family is out of town. As well as my sisters dog when she stays with us. I am available throughout the day to do drop-in’s, go on walks or spend time with them at home throughout the day. Aside from a random day I have plans, my schedule is very flexible. I have a dog I take on walks at home and enjoy being outside with. As well as playing/throwing their toys or sitting together at home.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life but my first job years ago in high school was at a veterinary hospital/ boarding. Because I was still in high school I was mainly in the kennels taking care of all the wonderful fur babies while their parents were out of town. Also, after informing the doctors that I was aspiring to become a vet, they allowed me to put on some scrubs and help out occasionally. I quickly realized that I was going to find a different way to care for animals 😂 Since then I have raised my own dogs and cared for animals of friends and family and have worked a few jobs at doggie daycares. I am an early riser because of my job so if your fur baby is too, they will fit right in! I work construction so I will be out for a portion of the day, but my wife works from home so her and our two pups will always be there to keep your baby company and make them feel right at home! At my house, no where is off limits for a furry friend. We can do anything to accommodate your fur babies to make sure they’re comfortable with their stay and you can have peace of mind that they will be happy and safe while you are away!

About: I spend my time taking care of my 3 (yes, 3!) dogs and there's nothing I'd rather do! I also love making new furry friends. I'm fit and active and I will play as long as the dogs will! Please provide as much info as possible about your pet so that I may customize the care I provide. Pet care IS my routine; I am available seven days a week to walk or sit your fuzzy friends. I have flexibility to accept same-day requests if necessary. Safety and exercise are a priority; I like to take multiple walks per day and will always keep dogs on leash and safe while having a fun time.

About: With nearly 20 years of veterinary experience, I provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, or extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule which allows me to make multiple stops a day if needed for your furry friends. 🐾 I have a fenced in yard if needed and ways to separate pets as well. I do have children so if your pet isn’t child friendly we can work out sitting in your own home.

About: I am very loving to all animals, My own girl is a rescue from St. Thomas that I adopted from Pet Search 10/2022. She was abused as a puppy and very anxious and afraid of men mostly and takes times to gain humans trust. I am very patient with her and always keep her safe. I know how to identify if she is not feeling comfortable in a situation and remove her from the situation to make her feel safe. She loves all dogs and children but needs to gain humans trust. I have been around dogs and owned dogs since I was a child. I have done pet sitting for my parents dog , family members and friends dogs including cats. I am just new to Rover, not new to being a furbaby sitter. You can trust me to be very attentive, while your fur baby is in my care they are my number one priority. I can administer oral medications if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and perfect neighborhood for walking. I currently work a full time job as a medical assistant at a doctors office since 2006. I am off early on Fridays and off on the weekends. I have a furbaby of my own that is three years old that I adopted. I am available on friday afternoons after 3 and Saturday and Sundays all day. I can do home visits, walks, or you may come to my home as long as your furbaby is good with another dog. I have experience walking and pet sitting dogs for neighbors, family and friends. I have a big yard for your babies to have lots of playtime and also have a fenced in back yard to keep them safe. I also have a safe neighborhood for walking and there are many trails by my home. My dog also gets along with all other dogs and is very playful. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations including Rabies.

About: I have grown up with pets as a child to the time I came to college. In my childhood and early teen years, my family has owned a cat. In my mid-teen years, my family decided to own a dog! I have also volunteered at an animal shelter while in high school! I work full-time as a caseworker worker and I am looking for a second means of income that I love. I love meeting new people and their pets! I am able to ensure they have food, water and have gone potty before I leave for work, check in with them while on my lunch break and enjoy their company after work! We let my dog roam around in the house most of the time, however if we will be gone for an extended period of time (day trips), we will put her in a crate with a blanket, food, water and a toy to play with along with the television on in the background.

About: A home away from home your pets will be happy to come to. A clean and loving environment for your pets to spend the day or overnights. 8 acres of yard for playtime & walks. All pets are treated like family and given the up most of care. Take the worries off of your mind while you are at work or on vacation knowing that your pet is safe and well cared for. Your pet will never roam alone and always be walked on leashes. I don't want to put them in a fenced-in yard because they can easily jump over it or dig under it and run away. A meet-and-greet can be scheduled if you desire it. Over 25 years of experience will set your mind at ease leaving you're special fur baby at our home. Lots of experience with giving medicine liquid or pills if your pet is on medicine from the vet. 🐾Bathing and full grooming can also be provided upon request during their visits with us. 10 yrs plus grooming experience with all breeds. Great cuts with special care & low pricing.🦮✂️❤️ There's plenty of time when your pet stays with us too give them walks and play time to make them feel at home and comfortable. You can trust me to always take your dog out on a leash and never let them run freely. I provide a safe environment for all the pets I watch.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Houston on Rover is $29.97 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,463 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Houston. 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 Houston 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.

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 Houston 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Houston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Houston. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
