“Helen was so kind to our dogs, they loved her upon meeting her! She’s very communicative and cared for them as requested.

I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone watching Hercules for me! My dog gets very anxious when I got out of town and usually is sick by the time I got back but that didn’t happen at all with Sebastian! My dog was just as happy and healthy as he was when I left and I was gone for over a week. I would highly highly recommend Sebastian to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. In 2020, I adopted an anxious and reactive 1 year old dog, and spent a lot of time learning dog behavior and how to bond with my dog using positive reinforcement techniques. Outside of personal experience, I have been pet sitting for close friends and family for the last 8 years. Fun fact: In the last year, I have also been raising my own chicken flock! I love constantly learning different things about different animals and their needs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability to do drop-ins and playtime. With ample notice, house sitting can also be worked on with your schedule. I highly prefer a meet and greet so I can know your routine with your pets. I would like to be able replicate that routine to reduce as much stress and anxiety as possible for your pets. In the summer time, I am very vigilant about watching out for overheating and fatigue. I value open communication and will always update you when there is something that seems unusual with your pet or home care. For house sitting, I will only be in or use things in my designated areas and will double check house security at all times.
“We are grateful for Kimberly’s patience and care she had for Daphne. Daphne is a sweet girl with arthritis and some dementia. Kimberly was the perfect caregiver for her. We knew Daphne was in good hands. Thank you, Kimberly”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Manvel is $45
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
