“Lindsay did such a great job watching our kitties while we were away! The hardest part of traveling for us is always leaving our cats behind. Usually we have a friend come to watch them but no one was available this time. Lindsay’s reviews made her an obvious choice. She stopped by a few days beforehand to meet the cats, see the layout of the house, and learn their hiding spots. She did her best to make both of our shy cats comfortable in their own ways. She was even offering to do extra work like fill the water fountains or clean the litter box to make sure our kitties were cared for in our absence. We will definitely book her again if we need someone in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie, but I also go by Steph. I have 4 years dog grooming experience and I also have 5 years experience working at an emergency vet facility in the Washington, PA area. I accept any and all dogs for walking and boarding at your home. I have experience as well with dogs who need daily medications and treatment. That does not scare me! I am very partial to English Bulldogs, Boxers, Frenchies, Mastiffs, and Huskies! All breeds I have, or have had experience with. I look forward to meeting your four legged family member and treating them with the all the care and love they deserve! I am currently waiting to start school in September and am available 24/7 or whenever needed. After that I will be working 40 hours a week and will he available in the evenings at that time. I have a HUGE fenced in yard of my own, and three crazy dogs I care for daily as well. I would offer to sit dogs in my home, but my English Bulldog is very territorial and protective. It's best to watch your furry loved one at your home.

“We had a fantastic experience with Sara (AKA Rosie) while we were away for five days in South Carolina. She was incredibly reliable, completing every single scheduled drop-in (3 times per day) without missing a beat. What truly sets her apart is how much quality time she spends with the dogs—not just letting them out quickly, but actually sitting with them, playing, and giving them space to run and explore in our large yard. Our doorbell would notify us when she showed up at the house and she was always out in the yard with the dogs while they explored. She followed all care instructions, including administering their daily joint supplements, and kept me constantly updated with detailed reports and at least 10 photos per visit—which meant I was getting about 30 pictures a day of my dogs being happy, active, and well cared for. That level of visibility gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly proactive: when one of my dogs ran off to a less visible part of the yard, she immediately notified me and took steps to make sure he was safe (he was probably sniffing groundhog holes and choosing not to listen because he loves the yard). I also appreciated her sharing a funny moment when my dogs calmly sniffed a wild bunny—they weren’t aggressive, just curious, and it was comforting to know she filled me in on notable happenings while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with our pets again—she’s professional, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a real love for animals. Highly recommend!”

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.

About: I grew up around many different types of dogs. I’ve raised my two dogs (Sirius and Archer, Aussie mixes) from puppies, and trained them both myself. They are both about 70 pounds, but I also had a French Mastiff, so large breeds aren’t an issue as long as they are properly trained. I currently work mostly afternoons and evenings, so providing care between 7AM and 1PM during weekdays is ideal. I don’t work every day, so if there’s another day or time you need, let me know, and I’ll check my availability. I’m happy to come to your home to play with, feed, and walk your pup(s)! My boys are pretty high energy, so I’m very used to having to entertain them.

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’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 helped my mom raise and train two Norwegian Elkhound puppies who are four years old now. They are my world and I visit them as much as I can. I work 3-4 days a week, I'm off Tuesday's, Wednesdays and every other weekend. I am new to this so shoot me a message if you want to set up an appointment. I am experienced with dogs who eat anything they can, so I would make sure your animals don't get into anything they aren't supposed to eat.

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Houston. 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 Houston. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
