“Julie is a wonderful addition to our pups family. She kept us updated throughout our trip with notes and photos clearly showing passion for her love and care of our babies. Our home was neat and tidy upon return as well. I recommend Julie with absolute confidence!!!”
“Ana was so amazing with my babes !!!! She was totally attentive and loving, and kept me updated each day. Totally appreciate her and will most certainly reach out to her next time I need to leave town 😊 Highly recommended !!!!”
“Stephanie was an amazing sitter! She was so communicative, sent tons of photos and absolutely loved on our boys like they were her own. She took them on walks and played with them inside/outside. And I definitely trusted her in our home. We will 100% be booking with Stephanie in the future if she is available!”
“Chelsea was AMAZING! She sent updates everyday with pictures included. Loved on our cats as well as our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter with Chelsea and will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I’ve grown up with so many different pets and breeds. Currently we own a high energy Golden Retriever. I’ve taken care of so many different breeds in addition to rescue mixed breeds. I have experience with Schnauzers, Spitz, Golden Retrievers, Bluetick Coonhounds, Beagles, Dachshunds, Pomeranians, Goldendoodles, Sheepadoodles, Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Labradors, Chesapeakes and so many others. I’ve also cared for cats, birds, hamsters, fish, guinea pigs and more. My husband and I are a care team. I actually teach in CyFair and my husband is home full-time so there is always someone here. My yard is fenced in with tons of toys to play with a Golden Retriever to help socialize your pet. I also can care for pets at their homes if the pet is more comfortable there and if scheduling allows. I think meet and greets are essential to not only make the pet parents feel comfortable to see if it’s a good fit, but I think it’s an even bigger deal for the dog. They can sniff around the environment and get familiar with our dog as well as be familiar with our home during their stay. I am able to accept doggies who have completed a meet and greet first for several reasons. I believe dogs are sweet living beings. I feel pet owners can make the time to research a good fit for their pet. I don’t like the idea of dogs just being dropped off and then feel scared or anxious during their stay. If they don’t have the space to be able to feel comfortable in a space then they might just feel like they are being left there. I understand last minute situations and emergencies, but I personally feel both parties should feel comfortable before committing and signing off on a stay. Some people could just accept every stay without any expectations, but I personally just don’t feel it’s setting up the dog for as successful and comfortable stay as it could be. I am also huge on safety and supervision. There is always someone here and if we are not here all dogs including ours would need to be in a kennel if they are unable to be supervised.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Daniela! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She came by for a meet and greet, and our dogs, Jack and Gus, immediately loved her—it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. Daniela stayed in our home for six nights and arrived promptly after we left for the airport, giving us immediate peace of mind. She sent daily photos and updates, and it was obvious our dogs were getting plenty of love, attention, and companionship while we were away. Knowing they were so well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. Daniela is trustworthy, communicative, and went above and beyond caring for our dogs and home. She even watered our little garden as well. We came home to two very happy pups and are so grateful for her. We will absolutely book Daniela again and highly recommend her!”
“Super Nice & Very Responsible. This young lady is definitely somebody I would recommend to take care of your animals when you’re out of town. She had no problem taking care of my two dogs & also watching over them as if they were her own ! Thank You for your service Jazlynn !”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a love for dogs and cats. Over the past few years, I’ve also gained experience dogsitting for friends and families. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own and always want them to feel loved, comfortable and well cared for! I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, which allows me to make time for pet sitting, walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work with owners to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need while they’re away! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I always do my best to keep their normal routines consistent, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime or simply keeping them company. I’m respectful of each owner’s home and instructions and make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while they’re away. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates so owners know how their pets are doing!
“Lindy took great care of our elderly dog and home while we were away! Great communication and kept us up to date on Remy while we were away! Will definitely use Lindy again in the future!”
“I have been booking house sitters for 7 years and Amanda is by far the best house sitter I have ever had. The communication. The care towards all my animals. The care towards my home. She was phenomenal!!!!!! I will only book through her going forward!”
“Gisselle was AMAZING! We did a meet and greet prior - she was patient and answered all of our questions. Our boy Ace loved her off the bat! Ace was attacked at boarding a couple months back and this was our first time using a house pet sitter and we were nervous. However, we had the best experience. Her communication was consistent - sending texts, photos, and videos of our boy with updates. She was extremely respectful of our home and it was spotless when I arrived home - she even left the light on so it wouldn't be dark! She was amazing and I would recommend her a million times over! We will definitely use her again for house sittings and drop-ins as needed. Gisselle is your girl for all the house sitting needs!!”
“If you’re a short reader: BOOK JOSUÉ YOU WONT REGRET IT. For those who want the details: We have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat. All three of them are truly my children and have never been left with a stranger. After booking a week long cruise with family, we were left to utilize Rover. Who knew after booking Josué, we would not only find someone our pets adored but someone that we adored too! We got daily silly videos and updates, he even stopped by to meet us beforehand to calm my nerves. He took great care of everyone and our home! He even organized my freezer (thanks Josué)! We will continue to book Josué anytime we need any pet sitting, but most importantly he left as a friend! Thank you for being such a sweet kind pet lover Josué! The world needs more light like you. See you soon!”
“Carried was absolutely amazing! Very communicative and my dog Norman loved her. He just got out of the hospital and she took very good care of him and kept me updated on his behaviors. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’m a dog mom myself and have been taking care of dogs (and occasionally cats) since I was a kid. I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own! I currently work part time and mostly from home, so I’ll have plenty of spare time to take care of your pets. My schedule is flexible, varies week to week, and is something I have control over to change as needed. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, or pet sitting in your home. I’m reliable and a dog mom myself, so I’ll treat your babies just like they’re my own.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable person who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely and provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. I work part-time and attend school, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care.

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.

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!

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 .

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.
