“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.

About: Currently no pets at home, but owned two large German Shepherds over 20 years, and lost my 12yr old German Shepherd last year. So I'm used to large aggressive breeds, puppies and older dogs. I'm ok with crate trained or dogs who are house trained. I work Mon-Fri 8am-4pm, but live 1 mile away from work, so I'm used to coming home at lunch to take a walk and potty break. Mostly home on the weekends. I can work from home on Fridays if needed to support a long weekend house sitting. I have large fenced yard, with all grass and used to throwing a ball for hours at a time. Tree lined streets for shaded walks. No other pets, kids or adults in the home.

“This was our first appointment with Iahnna. She was watching our dog and a visiting dog. In the short time we were gone, Iahnna had loved on both and taken both out for a little walk and potty break. The dogs enjoyed her attention, and I appreciated the communication, pics and reel.”

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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kemah
Iahnna is so good with our old girl Delilah. She sits with, and calms Delilah after we leave. Today in the heat of the day Iahnna was outside with Delilah, as she (Delilah) sat on the hot driveway to soothe her aches and pains. Iahnna goes above and beyond expectations.
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
Evalyn was absolutely amazing! We came in from out of town with a pup and she was able to help us out by watching him for us while we did tourist things! She kept in contact with me the whole time and sent pictures. We will definitely be using her again when we comeback into town! 10/10 Recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Kemah is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $121 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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!

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.

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.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
