“Keliann was absolutely fantastic while petsitting for us! She was very thorough and professional during our meet-and-greet and did great as well when following our senior pups very specific feeding instructions! Our pups both immediately took to her and we just know they all had a very fun time together, plus our very finicky cat even started to warm up a little bit to her! She gave us frequent updates and photos on all three fur-babies and left our house spic and span! She even took out the trash and did some extra cleaning that we didn’t expect her to do! Definitely will be using her for petsitting again in the future and 10/10 would highly recommend her services!”

“Holly was an amazing sitter! We were initially a little nervous because our dogs have very distinct personalities and needs—especially our two senior pups—but Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. She sent consistent updates with a full set of pictures at every visit that we grew to look forward to while we were away, which reassured us that everyone was doing great. The dogs were clearly getting plenty of time to eat, play, and just be themselves, and they warmed up to her right away—which doesn’t always happen! Holly was friendly, easy to work with, and followed all of our care instructions to a T. She also left the house exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. We’ll absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter!”

“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: I've been a pet owner for half my life. I could not imagine life without a furr baby. They bring joy to my life. They are part of my family. I work from home so it makes it easy to attend to the needs of taking care of your pet. I can work on a flexible schedule. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space. I have one small shihtzu who would enjoy the company. They are free to roam in the house as well.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for cats. I grew up caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’ve continued to help care for family dogs as an adult. I’m comfortable with small breeds, large breeds, and everything in between. I wasn’t allowed to have cats growing up, so I fed strays whenever I could. As soon as I lived on my own, I adopted two cats who became my whole world. They’re the reason I understand feline behavior, body language, and the slow, gentle process of building trust with shy or sensitive cats. I’m also an occasional travel nanny, and one of my ongoing responsibilities is caring for a client’s three cats. Handling feeding routines, litter maintenance, administering medication when needed, and giving them plenty of affection and playtime. I’ve also fostered cats, including a mama with a litter of four and another litter of three kittens. Bottle-feeding, socializing, monitoring health, supporting new moms, and keeping young kittens safe taught me how to read feline needs on a deeper level. Those experiences gave me a calm, confident approach with cats who are timid, young, or need a little extra reassurance. Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve cared for bearded dragons and other small pets, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple types of animals at once. My focus is always on gentle communication, patience, and keeping your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Your pets will be cared for with the same love and attentiveness I would give my own. Whether you need drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your animals feel secure, happy, and well-loved. I’d love to meet your fur (or scaly!) family. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am also available to care for your pets on weekends. I have a very small yard, but plenty of space in my home for your pets to roam and spread out if needed. I can accommodate for any pet needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years through pet sitting as well as caring for my own dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds. I understand how important routines, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention are when their owner is away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also active and enjoy walks and playtime, so higher-energy dogs are always welcome! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have two dogs of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend care and can accommodate different routines depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and house rules. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also comfortable with crates when needed and can keep pets separated when appropriate. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I have a fenced back yard as well

About: With a Yorkie and Pomeranian in my family, I have been well equipped to take care of any pup! I love these furry guys and understand how important it is to have quality time away with quality care equipped for our little guys. I am currently a student at the University of Houston and am incorporating pet care into my schedule. I truly make time to make sure my clients pets are cared for. My Mondays-Friday afternoons are relatively free but please reach out and I can be flexible! In my own home, we have a free space for our dogs but keep any dangerous food or objects out of site as they have very sensitive stomachs. Remaining attentive with my little guys is very important as they get into trouble when they are not in sight. I am receptive & understanding to any requests needed for any home or service.

About: I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood right in front of a waterside park, which means plenty of outdoor time, fresh air, and sunshine for your pup. My own sweet older dog, Chop, is very social and well-mannered, so visiting dogs always have a friendly companion by their side. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day with frequent walks, playtime, and snuggles. I truly love animals and care for each one as if they were my own Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. I start and end the day with walks by the waterside park right outside my door, and I build in plenty of breaks for outdoor time throughout the day since I work from home. My dog Chop is older and very social, so he loves having other dogs join us for fresh air, sunshine, and play. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening snuggles, I make sure pets feel cared for and included in my routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have access to plenty of outside time at the waterside park right across the street, daily walks, and a safe, comfortable space to relax inside. My dog Chop is very social and gentle, so visiting dogs always have a built-in buddy. Because I work from home, I can give pets consistent attention, whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or regular potty breaks. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, from feeding schedules and walks to any special instructions for training, medication, or comfort. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and relaxed in the environment where they feel most secure.

About: Hi! I’m Regina — a lifelong dog person (and former lawyer/tech executive) who understands what it’s like to travel and need care you can truly trust. I used to worry about whether my dogs were being fed well, getting enough exercise, and feeling safe and loved — so that’s exactly what I prioritize for every dog I board. I’m based in Sienna with a large, secure yard that’s especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs who need easy outdoor access. For active pups, we get outside for real walks and adventure time — I’m a runner and love long walks, so dogs in my care get more than quick potty breaks. I also build in enrichment and calm downtime (yes, I’ll play music for dogs) so they feel settled while you’re away. I’m safety-first, detail-oriented, and communicative, and I’ll send regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is flourishing. Crate comfort: I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained, and I’m also happy to board dogs who aren’t — I’ll follow your routine and preferences. Optional add-on: Drop-off and pick-up are available for an additional fee. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently on sabbatical and prioritize daycare and overnight boarding. My days already include multiple outdoor breaks and longer walks, plus plenty of calm downtime at home, so dogs get a consistent rhythm of exercise, enrichment, meals, and rest. I use set drop-off and pick-up windows to keep care structured, safe, and predictable for every dog. I care for pets in my home only, where I can keep the environment calm, consistent, and closely supervised. I follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and any medications, and I build each day around regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and real walks (not just quick bathroom trips). I have a small yard for easy access—especially helpful for older or mobility-limited dogs—and I also prioritize enrichment and downtime so dogs feel settled. I have crates available for crate-trained dogs, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who aren’t crate trained as well. I’ll send updates so you always know how your dog is doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Lake Jackson 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 Lake Jackson 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lake Jackson 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 , 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
