“Kyree was great with Titan and very responsive. She even put together the new bowls for him that were delivered while I was gone. Would recommend to anyone looking to find someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Helen was absolutely amazing!! She took fantastic care of our dogs, and made sure we got plenty of pics while we were away :) We will definitely be asking Helen to take care of our babies again!”
“Stacey was absolutely incredible and is now our go to when we need to leave our dog alone. She arrived early and left late making sure he was fully taken care of. Our dog is a new puppy, barely trained with excessive energy. I would love to keep her to ourselves but recommend her for absolutely any dog!”
“Katie watched our two corgis (6 and 8) for over two weeks while we traveled internationally. She took excellent care of them! We couldn't have asked for a better caretaker. She went above and beyond in following some of our more specific requests (like how to water our pickier corgi) and even took some time to brush them as it was shedding season. Thank you again for your care and love for them. We look forward to booking with Katie again in the future on our next trip if she is available. ❤️🥰🙏🏼”
“Geneva was assumed with Pepper and beans. Being very tentative with them when it came to feeding and being let out. Also spending some social time with them. Ill def recommend and hire again for future vacations.!!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including walking, feeding, providing fresh water, giving lots of love and attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following each pet’s routine and any special instructions. My goal is to give every pet the same care and affection I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking Monday through Friday from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. I’m also available on weekends, with flexible hours to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable, loving care for your furry family members. I’ve cared for my own pets for many years and have also looked after dogs for friends and family whenever they’ve needed help. My experience includes walking, feeding, providing fresh water, playtime, giving lots of love and attention, and making sure pets stay comfortable and follow their usual routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and help them feel safe while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and will care for your pet as if they were part of my own family.
“This is our 3rd time using Neysha for house/dog sitting and each and o she absolutely exceeds all expectations. I think our dogs love her and Teddy more than they like us! She always brings extra special treats and toys for our boys and even left us a special treat as well! What an amazing thing to come home to after an early travel day! She treats our home like she would treat her own and always leaves it in better condition than she found it! We absolutely love Neysha and Teddy and will 10000% be using them again soon!!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. All of my friends, family, and neighbors have counted on me to care for their pets whenever they could not be home to do it themselves. I am currently self employed. I set my own schdule. So I will have ample time to give your fur-babies the attention they deserve. I normally schedule at least 45 minutes to an hour per visit. Allowing plenty of time to walk the dogs, love on the dogs or cats, clean litter boxes. And feed the fur-babies
“Jesika did so great with our Buzz! She was very loving and patient with him and constantly kept me updated. She was also very flexible with our travel schedule and considerate of our home.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! My family and I began volunteering with the Houston Humane Society when I was young, and not long after, we started fostering animals—primarily dogs of all ages. Over the years, we’ve fostered more than 60 animals, each with their own personalities and needs. I also rescued a cat and cared for him until he found his forever home. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, and dog walking throughout the week and can be fully attentive to your pet’s needs during that time. I also work remotely part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and consistent companionship for your pets. I’m extremely vigilant, responsible, and respectful when caring for pets in a client’s home. I make it a priority not only to care for the pet, but also to treat the home with the same respect I would expect in my own space. I carefully follow any schedules, routines, and instructions provided to ensure your pet feels comfortable and everything runs as smoothly as possible. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I’m very mindful about making sure both your pet and your home are well cared for.
“We love Reagan! The pooches and the people. She’s great with them. They are happy to see us but they don’t cry and they aren’t nervous and I feel great knowing that while we are gone she is here to tend to them. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Maria looked after our pups for a day and whenever she sent us photo updates, I swear our dogs looked so happy in her company. I could tell they just loved her. Will definitely use her services again if needed! Thank you Maria!”
“Elmer was amazing with my dog and sent frequent videos and photos. He also adjusted his schedule to accommodate a last minute change. I’m using him again next week because of his professionalism.”
“Jordan took good care of Chance he kept my bay for 4 days while I went out of town to take care of some important business…. He left my home just the way it was when I left . Nice guy thank you Jordan”
“Taylor was great! We were worried about leaving our cats for so long, but she kept us in the loop the entire time. One of our cats needs to be medicated twice a day and it seems like she was well taken care of. Very glad to have found Taylor.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manvel
Hannah saved the day for me this past weekend and was able to pet sit for my cat and foster kittens at the last minute. Hannah went above and beyond to make sure that all three kitties were happy and well-taken care of - she even cleaned up when the kittens made their own mess and washed their bowls and plates. She was communicative, flexible, and understanding. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to make sure that their pets are in safe hands.
Kayla took good care of my cat Binx and my puppy Panda and she was super nice. My pets can be a lot to manage since my cat has health issues and my puppy is still small/has a lot of energy, but she was great taking care of them and very communicative. I would recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manvel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manvel on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,694 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manvel. 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 Manvel 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 Manvel 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 Manvel 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 Manvel. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
