“Eva was really great with my sweet piranha. she id a little reactive and nervous with new people, but she immediately took to Eva. We had some communication issues in the beginning, but after some chatting, we were able to resolve everything and she was even able to extend her time with piranha at the end of the booking when my flight was canceled so her flexibility is unmatched. I will 100% book with her again!”
“Madisyn did an awesome job taking care of my pets. She sent me pictures of my pets when I was on vacation, was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond more than once. I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve have 10 years experience with dogs all sizes and temperaments so if you have just the loving dog who loves everyone or may be a little scared or shy with strangers I am your guy! I am currently working part time, so most days I’ll be available all day. Late nights or early morning and everything in between I will be there. I try my best to make the dog at home as much as possible. Stick with the same morning routine, feeding, walks! Same throughout the day as well!
“Sarah, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my pet. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and attentive hands, even for just a few hours. I truly appreciate your warmth, responsibility, and the genuine care you showed. I would gladly trust you again anytime!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a teenager. From 20 year old chihuahuas, nursing day old kittens, and 80lb king German shepherds.. I’ve volunteered at a few animal shelters. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. My work schedule is 7-4, Monday- Friday and have evenings and weekends free. Over the weekends I am available all day and evening. For week days I can visit your furry baby any time after 4! I have a big fenced in yard and have two loving and playful dogs that enjoy making friends. I have 2 cats that are incredibly friendly but also leave my dogs alone. I have crates available and my neighborhood has sidewalks that are perfect for dog walking.
About: I love taking care of dogs and playing with them. I grew up having a dog and now currently own one as well. We often dogsit for parents when they go on trips. I am a teacher in Clear Creek ISD. During the school year, I'm available on weekends and holidays. During the summer, I am available everyday! I will treat the pets like my own. I will feed them, take them on walks, and play with them. I will make sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Maricarmen did a great job taking care of my dog while I went out of town. She sent lots of communication and pictures so I would know Bindy was ok. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to bok again”
“We 100% trust Alyssa to take care of our dog and know he’s in great hands when she’s with him. We always get plenty of pictures and updates on Winston when he’s with her. We love Alyssa, and so does our dog!”
About: With 4+ years of hands-on experience and well-trained lab mix of my son, I know what it takes to care for pets at every stage. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs- and my quiet townhome by the lake gives them a clam, peaceful environment to relax. I work from home full-time, so your pet is never left alone for long stretches. I’m here throughout the day for walks, playtime , feeding, and just keeping them company - this is genuinely part of my daily routine. My place is fully pet-proofed. I have a large patio and outdoor space where dogs can get fresh air. My 45lb lab mix is pet friendly and I always do proper intro before letting pets interact freely. I don’t use a crate but can arrange of if that’s part of the your pet routine or you can bring your own.
About: I have loved and cared for a wide range of pets and personalities, understanding that each one has their own unique needs and routines. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by carefully following instructions and maintaining consistency in their routine. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away, unless requested otherwise. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine. While I work full-time Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, I am able to stay overnight in clients home so pets can stay comfortable and in their familiar space and routine. Depending on the location, I can also stop by during lunch breaks for walks, potty breaks, feedings, medications, and extra attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am very attentive when it comes to following all instructions, routines, and rules provided by pet owners to ensure pets remain comfortable and stress-free while in my care. I understand every pet has different personalities, boundaries, and needs, and I take the time to learn their mannerisms and routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe to them. Whether in my client’s home or during visits, my priority is always creating a calm, comfortable, and happy environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.
“After I had to leave for a family emergency, Michelle was able to watch my dogs within hours, and did such a great job despite my lack of in depth instruction. My boys looked happy in every picture and knowing they were well taken care of gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to be present in my situation. I cannot thank her enough”
“Becky and Joel took such great care of my baby! Having a disabled dog, I get so nervous leaving him. When I met Becky and Joel, I knew they would treat him with all of the care and kindness possible. And they did just that! I am so grateful to have someone I feel confident will love my baby just like I do. I will most definitely be utilizing their services again in the near future!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with extensive dog experience. Fostered dogs before motherhood, currently own a happy pup and feline friend. Filled with empathy and dedication to ensuring your furry friend thrives. I’m currently working part-time and have the flexibility to help with your pet needs. I’m also available on weekends for boarding or walking or whatever you need. I have a fenced yard and a dog that will keep your pet busy. I can also crate your dog if necessary. If you need my services or my home, I will be respectful and responsible.
About: Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! I’ve always had a deep love for animals and taking care of them. Growing up, my family adored Great Danes, so I’ve had plenty of experience with big breeds. By the time I was ten, I was already looking after the family dogs, my own fish tank, and even a leopard gecko! My dream of having a mini zoo at home didn’t fade, and once I moved out, I could finally indulge in my love for cats. Now, we’ve got two Danes, four cats, and a whole flock of chickens. My friends and family know they can count on me to make sure their pets are happy and healthy, so they can rest easy and enjoy their time away. You can too, especially with the detailed notes and photos of your pet that I’ll send you during my visits. I’m not a dog trainer (yet!), but I do know how important it is to be consistent with training. With clear communication, I can make sure the hard work you’ve put into your training stays on track, even when you’re not around! I’m currently working remotely and part-time while undergoing medical treatment. I’m available to give your pets my full attention most of the day. My routine treatment and recovery periods are blocked off, so they won’t interfere with my ability to care for them. I exclusively care for pets within their homes because I can’t accommodate any more pets in my own. I offer either drop-in visits or full house sitting, so you can choose the level of care that best suits your needs. I respect that every pet parent has their preferences, so the more specific you can be with instructions, the better!
“Talia and Andrew swooped in to help last minute with our puppy. At only 8 weeks old, our puppy needed more frequent visits and care, and Talia and Andrew went out of their way to provide just that ensuring Oscar got plenty of time out of his crate, time to play, and time to use the facilities. If I am able, I would happily use their services again and Oscar would love the opportunity to see them again!”
About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout most of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate each pet’s normal routine and can provide frequent outdoor time, enrichment, and lots of affection throughout their stay. I also have plenty of flexibility for drop-off and pick-up times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. If your dog is uncomfortable with cats, I can keep my cat safely separated during their stay. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kemah
Emma was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, thorough, and communicative the entire time. Our dog Banjo loved her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. We booked Emma to stay in our home while my fiancé and I got married, and she made our entire wedding weekend stress free when it came to our sweet boy. She took amazing care of him and kept us updated, which meant everything to us. We will definitely be booking Emma again for any future trips. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾
Sydney is the first person we call for pet care. I think this is our fourth time now. Sydney shows kindness and compassion for our dog family, communicates well and often, makes notes and highlights, and so on. Your animals are in good hands with Sydney.
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing—truly everything you could hope for in a dog and house sitter and more. From the moment we connected, she made us feel at ease with her genuine love for animals. She was perfect with our dogs, giving them so much attention. It was clear they were happy and comfortable in her presence. She kept us consistently updated with messages which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way- whether it was sticking to their routines, making sure the house was in great shape, or just putting in extra effort to ensure everything ran smoothly. You can just tell she truly cares. We couldn’t recommend Elizabeth more highly. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly sweet. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their sitter
Cassandra was wonderful with our four animals and house sitting! Our animals loved her and she took such good care of them and the house. We got pictures and videos and she was very communicative. She also left our house clean and tidy and was very respectful of the space. We would use her again in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kemah on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,092 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kemah. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Kemah 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 Kemah 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.
Tip: 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 Kemah 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kemah. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
