“First time meeting Nelson and he was great! The babies loved him and were instantly comfortable. Which says a lot for my senior dog! He was personable, sent consistent updates, and always responded. He’s great!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover that has been surrounded by dogs my whole life. Me and my wife share 2 pups! Kobe and Kona! My sweet girl Kona is 13 years old is the kind of dog that needs a bit more love and patience than most, so i’m great with paying close attention to a dogs behavior and getting to know what exactly makes them tick. With Kona being a senior dog with allergies and hip problems, I understand the slower care a senior dog needs. Kobe on the other hand is a silly boy that wants belly scratches from everyone. He is 1 years old and is still an energetic puppy! Getting to know your fur baby in a personal sense on its own time/terms gives me the confidence I need to believe that I will be a great dog walker and caregiver for your fur baby! I’m currently not working a full time job so I have a lot of time to care for your fur baby as needed! Mostly available for walks and sitting in the afternoon and evenings. I live in a larger 2 bedroom apartment with a big dog park and lots of walking and grassy areas surrounding me! I have 2 dogs, my senior dog sleeps the days away as she has hip problems and cannot run like she used to, and my puppy loves to play and share his toys and treats with all of his fur friends! Your dog will be given the most love and attention its heart desires! I live with my wife but she will not be caring for your fur baby.
“Elmer was amazing! Our regular sitter wasn’t able to watch our dogs and finding someone new to trust is always a little stressful, but he made the whole process very easy. He was personable, sent daily photos and videos where our dogs looked so happy, and we came back to a clean house. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Would definitely use him again”
“Gabby was awesome! She was so patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy boy and a clean house! Will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”
About: I have pet sit my family and friends many times, I also do animal rescue and fostering for both cats and dogs which has given me a lot of experience and knowledge with animals Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I work part-time and only work half days. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide reliable care, accommodate various schedules, and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need throughout the day. Always ensure when a pet is with me they have a space and comfortable space, treating them as if they were my own pets and building a bond with the pet to gain trust
About: Dogs have been a part of my entire life. I've been sitting for friends and family over the last 6 years and have really enjoyed it. I am currently unemployed and available. I don't have much on my schedule and can devote all my time and attention to a dog sitting job. I will care for them just like my own. Will follow the routine and rules for the pets. Happy to have them sleep with me in the bed, etc.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all age, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m attentive to routines, great with details, and always on time. What sets me apart is consistency and genuine care. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and fell in love with their unique personalities. Friends and family always knew they could count on me to treat their pets like my own. Now I bring that same care to every client. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, meal, or overnight stay, you can count on me for reliable, loving care and clear communication. My schedule is very flexible, so your pet always gets the time and attention they need. I plan my day around my clients needs to keep their routine consistent. Whether it’s walks, overnight says, or drop-ins, I manage my time to support each client with the individualized care you deserve. Since I work from home, I’m nearby and available throughout the day. You can count on me to be responsive, reliable, and fully present with your dogs or cats. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress-free.

I always ask about routines, preferences (both for you and your pets), and special needs to make sure your pet gets personalized care. Safety, comfort, and clear communication are my #1 priorities.
“Jairo was great with ours dogs! He kept us updated, communicated well. We really appreciated the notes he left about each of them during his stay with them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!”
“My husband and I absolutely loved having Larisa care for our puppy! She kept us updated with so many sweet pictures while we were away, which meant so much to us. She made our pup feel so comfortable and loved that she actually missed Larisa when she left! We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would happily have her house sit for us again.❤️”
About: Animals have always been my passion I’ve delivered pups & always had a dog since I was a kid which I currently have 2 now. From Friday to Monday, I’m available for pet care services between 8 AM and 6 PM. I also offer boarding, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pets while you’re away, ensuring they receive personalized attention, care, and plenty of love throughout their stay. Whether in my home or a client's, I ensure pets' safety and happiness. I follow their routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. A clean, comfy environment with fresh water and toys is key.

About: I currently work as a pet sitter with dogs and cats of all sorts of personalities. This experience has honed my ability to accurately interpret animal body language and proactively adjust my approach to meet the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. I provide different services for them such as strictly dog walking, pet taxi, enrichment, potty breaks, and overnight stays! I have a dog myself that has recently undergone leg surgery. I have experience administering medications, and everything it requires to help him and other dogs recover. I have also sought out dog training for my own dog, and have learned a lot about tips and tricks. I pet sit as of right now, with flexible clients, with lots of free time in between clients. Most of my clients travel for work, therefore my schedule is sporadic. I deliver tailored pet care services structured entirely around your specific instructions and your pet's established routine. By mirroring your exact approach to your pet's daily life, I ensure a seamless, stress-free transition that maintains their comfort, safety, and happiness while you are away. Whether it is active engagement, companionship, routine feeding, or medication administration. Ultimately, my continuous aspiration is to deliver the absolute best service to your pet and complete peace of mind to you.
“Can’t say enough good about Jennifer. Her communication was impeccable, she left the house as good as we left it, and our golden was in great care. Will certainly be reaching out to have her watch our home again soon.”

Trejure was absolutely amazing with our dogs! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was dependable, caring, and took great care of them. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our pups. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will definitely be using Trejure again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Ari was absolutely wonderful with our pets! We have five dogs and a cat, including three dogs who were taking medication during her stay, and she did an amazing job administering everything as instructed. One of our dogs is especially picky and incredibly smart when it comes to medication. She knows immediately when there’s a pill hidden in her food, and giving her medication can be a nightmare. Ari went above and beyond by researching different ways to administer it and even asked for my approval before trying a new method. I really appreciated how attentive, proactive, and thoughtful she was. Our pets seemed to really love her, and she took great care of our home while house sitting as well. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our senior pets were in such caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Ari, for taking such great care of our pets and our home! ❤️ We will definitely be booking with you again!
Lesly was so sweet and amazing. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable. Rysy was smiling and playing and that makes me feel so happy knowing she cared for him so well. It really means the world to me that she was so thoughtful and considerate with sending me updates and photos. Thank you. Highly recommend!!!
Stephanie has been my dog sitter several times, and I could not be more pleased with the care and love my dog receives from her! I was out of town for almost 3 weeks and knew I could rely on her for the best possible care of Jules. She will continue to be my no. 1 choice for dog sitting!

The average cost of House Sitting in Missouri City is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 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 Missouri City 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 Missouri City 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 Missouri City 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.
