About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. I am a dog mom of 3 and ready to share the love. I house trained my pups and taught them fun tricks. I even make them special treats because they deserve the best. I work full-time M-F however I have access to my home throughout the day, every 2 hours and I am available on the weekends. I also have a significant other that will be around to assist with care when needed. Your fur baby will be in great hands with us. My pets are my children, I care for them with love always. I will provide that same care for your fur baby as well. I have a large yard for your fur babies to do zoomies. I take my dogs to the dog park biweekly and I’d be more than happy to have your pups join. Any instructions or special situations you request for your fur baby will always be followed and never judged or neglected. We are an animal loving home and will treat your fur babies as if they are our own when they are with us.
“Ivi did such a great job watching our pups! She was with them for 2 weeks and sent lots of pictures that they looked very happy and well loved in. She was very responsive any time we reached out and also went above and beyond caring for our home. Thank you Ivi!”
About: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I am available whenever needed. My teenage kids also love to help me with the fur babies I care for. We are all animal lovers. ❤️ I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.
“If you need a rockstar dog sitter, Tory’s it! She watched our two girls over spring break and did an amazing job. She was communicative, paid detailed attention to their schedules, and sent the best pics. It was clear from the pictures and videos that our girls were having a great time and being so well cared for. She also went above and beyond and the house was spotless- couldn’t tell she’d been there!”
“Sophia was great! This was our first experience using Rover, and we felt fully comfortable having her stay at our house with our two large dogs. The dogs were well taken care of and in a good mood when we got back. We would definitely have Sophia back to watch them again!”

About: My name is Melody and I have always loved caring for pets and helping out in the community. I have a small background in pet sitting, totaling about 2 years now. I am not a Baytown native, but I have lived in the area for about 3 years and am getting to know the area more and more each day. I am bilingual, consider myself to be very friendly and love it if I can bring a smile to someone’s day. I look forward to meeting new people and being able to lend a hand by taking good care of your furry friends, big or small. I also work from home M-F so your fur babies will always have someone with them. My boyfriend Moses often helps out with pet care as well and he is wonderful with animals. If you should have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I will be more than happy to provide some answers. I work from home and as a result am able to care for your fur babies constantly. I love relaxing when I’m not working and I’d love to have your fur babies around for company 🙂. I have a fenced yard and can provide your pets some exercise time outside. I also have 2 golden retrievers who are very friendly with other dogs and would love to make some new friends.

I am available full time as I am not working right now. Dogs are amazing animals and I have always wanted to work and do something that involves them. I’m home all day everyday, so I can take care of dogs all day and night! I am outgoing, athletic, and a happy person! I enjoy spending time with dogs and all that comes with them. I sincerely hope you will pick me as your dog sitter, walker, or as your doggie daycare. Thank you for coming to my page!
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
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!
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
“The dogs liked him. He was very attentive. Kept us posted on everything that was going on with daily pictures with updates. Will definitely use him again.”
“Emma was wonderful with my dogs, she took my booking on short notice which was a huge help. She was very punctual, communicated clearly and consistently, and sent pictures, which I really appreciated. My dogs really liked her, and she handled everything with care, efficiency, and responsibility. I have a multi-dog household (4), so it means a lot to find someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and comfortable stepping in--she handed everyone like a pro. I’m very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her. Thank you Emma!”

About: Hey howdy! My name is Delaney and I am a master's student and ballroom dancer here in Houston! I have loved taking care of animals ever since my family welcomed our senior cat into our home when I was 14 years old. She had spent two months in the forest on her own before making her way to my front porch, and the rest is history. I can't wait to meet and take care of your furry friends - they're my favorite study buddies! I am most routinely available on Friday nights and weekends. My schedule throughout the week fluctuates based on my clinical assignments, course schedule, and extracurricular activity meetings. If you are in need of services on weekdays I am happy to discuss them on a case by case basis! I take great care to ensure the spaces and homes I am welcomed into are well kept and that I care for the spaces of clients as if it were my own! My goal is to maintain your pets feeling of safety and security within their home environment. I prefer to have a walkthrough of the space as well before the first at-home sit but understand that this may not always be feasible. Along with information about your pet, it is also helpful to know if there are any off-limits areas in your home or potential safety hazards, so please let me know about these as well! Please also provide me with emergency contact information for you, or your veterinarian should it be needed.
“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McNair
Kyra watched my dog Frankie recently and I was so pleased with everything about her stay at my home. She was so good with Frankie and left my home exactly as she found it. Kyra is very responsible and cared for Frankie like he was her own dog. I will definitely be booking Kyra again. My experience with her was more than I expected. Thank you so much Kyra.
You are definitely the best! This was my first time using the app, and the experience was excellent. Thank you for taking such good care of my pet, for being so attentive, and for being punctual with every pickup and drop-off. Without a doubt, I would choose you again for my future trips.
Josue’s calm and gentle demeanor was perfect for our shy cat, he gave her the space she needed while still making her feel safe and cared for. We loved the daily video updates and felt completely confident Sunshine was in good hands, and would absolutely recommend Josue.

The average cost of House Sitting in McNair is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $52 per night.

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 McNair 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 McNair 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 McNair 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
