“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing job!!! Our dogs took to her right away on the first meeting and that was all I needed. She took wonderful care of our dogs and home. Updates and pictures throughout our time away. I really can't say enough good things. Having Rayven come and stay with our dogs made it possible for us to travel without worry. We are lucky to have found her.”
“I consider Maria to be the perfect dog-sitter for my dogs, or any dogs for that matter. It is clear to me that my dogs miss her very much, and I will definitely rebook within a couple of months. Maria is completely trustworthy, capable in all respects, and a true friend for my animals - not to mention a great person as well. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Can't say enough about Tuongvi! Excellent service! She's our sitter of choice and she should be yours! I'm not much for long reviews. Let me just say I doubt there's any better sitter out there!”
“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.”
“Kaitlyn did a fantastic job. We had an older dog and a very hyper puppy and she was so good with both. She sent updates and pictures. We would use her again in a second.”
“Darrius did an amazing job watching our house and our dogs for a week while we were out of the country. He was very reliable and trustworthy. He sent us checkins and pictures daily. Our dogs were happy and clean when we came home. He even dealt with our pool and brought our packages inside. We will definitely be using him again!”
“This is my first time trusting someone to care for Blu. Amanda exceeded ALL of my expectations. I believe that dogs can sense souls of people that they meet, and Blu ADORED Amanda! She was so gentle and sweet with him. She was attentive to his needs and asked plenty of questions about the care she needed to provide. She sent frequent check-ins and pictures. If you want the best in care for your pup, she is your first choice! 10 stars! Thank you Amanda!”
“Where do I begin? Sherine was nothing short of amazing! She was super friendly and attentive to all our needs. She updated us frequently and always let us know if she had any questions. She took great care of our two Yorkies, showing them lots of love & attention! Before she left, she did a good job cleaning up that we didn’t even ask for! You want to leave your pups in great care with no worries, then book Sherine.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Elmer! From the moment we connected, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos of my cat and dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did he take wonderful care of my pets, but he also went above and beyond by looking after my home. When I returned, the house was even better than when I left it—clean, organized, and clearly treated with care. Elmer is truly one of a kind: trustworthy, responsible, and 100% reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He’s the best!”
“Great experience with Katie. Dogs loved her, very professional and kept our minds at ease while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house for two nights and could not have gone smoother.”
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“Tony is an amazing pet sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone. He took care of my 2 pups and had me at a complete peace of mind while on vacation. He was extremely caring for them, very communicative, gave me daily updates with photos, and he kept my place so clean! 5/5 pet service.”
“Jenny was amazing! She had great communication with us the whole time. We knew our pups were well taken care of by their demeanor when we returned. They were so calm. We have already rebooked her!”
“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 have had a cat since I was 10 and A dog since 12. I have experience with my cat giving birth to kittens and raising them. I also have adopted a cat who was FIV +. My first word as a kid was dog lol and I absolutely adore all dogs. I am active and live walking/ running almost as much as the athletic dogs but I am also always down to chill with a senior dog or little dog who needs a different kind of attention to feel loved. I have taken care of several senior dogs with arthritis or blindness and understand the importance of intentional care. I would love to help make your furry friends feel loved while you’re away. I work part time at night so I am free all day and nights when Im not working. Taking care of your pet is my priority I’m happy to care for pets in their home, whether that means stopping by for playtime, feeding, walks, or simply giving them some company while you’re away. I also offer walks and fun outings to help keep pets active and happy! I’m not currently offering overnight stays, but I’m happy to provide dependable daytime care. I also have a friendly cat of my own and would be happy to host a cat in my home if they are comfortable and friendly around other cats. 🐾🤍
“Lana took the best care of our two pups while we were away! She provided updates with sweet pictures of our dogs. Lana was quick to respond. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home and our house was just as we left it! We will definitely be using Lana again in the future to look after our dogs. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to watch after their fur babies!”
“Did a great job making my dogs comfortable. I have 2 big dogs and it was not a problem for Gabriel. Gabriel followed instructions, kept me updated, and went above & beyond. Will definitely book 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!!!
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 $42.56 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,667 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.
