“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.”
“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs for most of my life and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their dogs while they're away, including feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining their daily routines, and providing companionship. I've also cared for dogs that needed extra attention, closely monitoring their health and keeping their owners updated throughout their stay. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment so you can travel with peace of mind. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I have flexibility to provide attentive care before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and holidays. I make pet care a priority and will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine (if applicable), I'll follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean and safe environment, and treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“We could not be more pleased with Geneva! She did a great job for us and Ted and we intend to use her again. She was very professional, courteous, communicative, and timely. We were impressed!”
“Gabriela was great with our pups! She made sure they were kept fed, calm and with company. We really appreciated her taking them for a walk as well. The house was kept in great condition. Will rebook her in the future. Thanks, Gabriela!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for 7 years, and my love for animals has led me to volunteer at local dog shelters and care for multiple pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and always treat them like my own. I’m very detail-oriented, organized, and committed to following each pet’s routine and any special instructions closely. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing extra love and attention, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am mainly free in the early mornings and later evenings! As long as I know the schedule ahead of time I am willing to make anything work for you and your furry friend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I am detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your pet receives the same love and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I also love providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have been taking care of dogs over 10+ years! From family dogs to working at two pet resorts as well! My experience with dogs range from Pomeranians to pitbulls and cane Corsos! I have watched single dogs to managing packs of dogs as well (5+), and while maintaining a fun and relaxed environment for dogs, but also a safe environment! I will be busy with class in from 11-3:30, but can walk dogs before or after then! I am completely free on the weekends as well! And it varies per day on my availability (depending on the time of my class, I might get out earlier!) In my clients home, I will feed, bathe, and take the dog(s) on walks, following their schedule the owner provides! I will make sure no harmful food or toys are out as well, providing a fun and safe environment for the dog(s)!
“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”
“Gabrielle was amazing to work with! Extremely responsive while booking (on my very short notice I might add) and continually kept us in the loop with photos and videos of our pup while we were gone. She even wiped down all the surfaces in my house, made her bed, set the couch, etc before leaving! I will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“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. ❤️🥰🙏🏼”
“Sara house- and dog-sat for our two dogs during a 2-week trip abroad. It was the longest we've been away from our dogs and we were nervous about leaving them for so long, but Sara was fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She communicated very well throughout the trip and when we returned home the dogs were and happy and healthy and the house was exactly as we'd left it. We'll absolutely use Sara again and recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting or pet care.”
“Paul did a great job with our girls. They were always “smiling” when he sent updates and was very good a communicating. He was happy to do some extra skimming of the leaves from the pond and trash duty as well. Would definitely have him back!”

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!!!
Elmer is amazing. He is wonderful with our girls. Our dogs are so picky when it comes to new people and they loved Elmaer immediately. He is the best pet sitter and house sitter. Our house was cleaner when we came back home. He is amazing and we ate thankful to have found him. Will definetly use Elmer again.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Missouri City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Missouri City on Rover is $43.29 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 3,640 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Missouri City. 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 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 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.

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.
