About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I truly love animals. If you were to put your trust in me to watch your furry friend. I would love on them as if they were my very own. I use to board the pups at my home but since I've moved to a smaller home I am unable to board in my home but I have no problem coming to yours and watching your fur babies. I know the responsibility of taking care of someone's home and their babies. I will treat both as my own. If asked I will take the pups around the neighborhood for walks this helps if both to get some exercise. Send me a message I can't wait to meet you guys
“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.❤️”
“Stephanie was really amazing with our senior dog. He was very well cared for and clearly had a wonderful time while we were away. We would definitely have Stephanie watch our dog again!”
“Ariel was great with Gemma for the long weekend I was away. She even stayed longer on the last day when my flight was delayed. I hope she will watch Gemma all the time!”
“Daniela did a great job with our dog!! She sent updates and pictures through out the stay. She spent lots of time at our house like we had requested and left our house very clean! We’ve had some bad experiences using people on Rover but Daniela was a breath of fresh air! We will definitely use her again!”
“Shirlette made me feel so comfortable when she was watching our dogs and cats! She communicates well, sent lots of cute pictures and went the extra mile teaching a stubborn puppy to walk better on the leash. I look forward to leaving the fur babies with her on my next trip!”
About: Hi My Name is Deyanira and i am a Special Ed. Life Skills Aide for already 10 yrs. So i have learn to care for pets as my own as i do in my class. Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life so i promise to treat them like family.

Also the dog park in 10 minutes away from my house Also in your home i will always respect your home rules ans any other rules you would like as well. Any concerns or problems don't hesitate to contact me.
About: I’m extremely experienced with all breeds due to my father breeding cane corsos and American bull dogs. Since I’ve relocated to Houston I have 2 dogs and my daughter loves all animals so this will give her the bonding time to play and gives you your time away as well. I am always home. So they won’t miss out on any attention, I am a full time student (online) so it really gives me the freedom to pet sit. I’m very attentive so I’ll give your fur babies exactly what they want whether it’s a walk, potty break or cuddles. If your dog has any special way of doing things I’ll be sure to follow your rules.
“Lindy took great care of our cat and home! She did a wonderful job with a tricky oral medication administration, and made sure he had lots of love and attention while we were away. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!”
“Lana is absolutely fantastic!!! We have multiple pets and Lana took care of them spectacularly!! Lana updated us and sent pictures regularly. Our pups were very happy under Lana's care!! Not only did she take care of everyone above and beyond, she also left the house very clean and in great shape! Lana, thank you, until next time! :)”
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
“Benjamin and Carrie did a great job taking care of my critters. My senior cat is on multiple medications which are given throughout the day, and they handled that process with ease. They also kept to my early morning walk schedule for my dog and made sure she got to see her friends (both people and other dogs) every morning. Coming home to a clean house was great - and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend them, and will use them again when I take trips in the future.”
“Asia was a wonderful sitter. I had super high anxiety before leaving for 2 weeks as my regular sitter was unavailable. Asia kindly put up with my constant checking in the first couple days while I was adjusting to being gone. She’s great in dealing with highly anxious pet parents and even better with the pets themselves. I would highly recommend her and use her again!”
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.
“Jayla was awesome! She picked up our booking on super short notice when our other sitter cancelled on us at the very last minute. She took fantastic care of the dogs and was extremely graceful and responsive when our dog had a health emergency. She left the house even cleaner than she found it. 10/10. Would certainly recommend!”
“Christopher did an excellent job caring for Cici. He stepped in to take over from another sitter who could not sit for Cici during the a weekday. Christopher is a genuinely nice young man and gave us the peace of mind while we were out of town.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mount Houston is $45

What an excellent pet sitter! She took wonderful care of both of my pups, sent picture updates throughout their stay, and was incredibly accommodating with scheduling. I truly enjoyed the entire experience and felt completely comfortable knowing my pups were in great hands. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future and highly recommend her!

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 Mount Houston 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 Mount Houston 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mount Houston 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.
