About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“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: Since I was a little girl I been around dogs. My brothers dad had a Rottweiler so growing up Tyson was always around us. As I got older either friends or family members had pets. Weather it was cats, guinea pigs, hamsters or fishes you name it. I love being around animals it’s so therapeutic and joyful to me. I am available for dog walking Monday-Friday hours btw 8am-8pm. Pet sitting at least a week in advance sometimes last minute is ok with me. I make sure they are fed have they water are taken out for the day twice maybe even three times of the day. If it’s nice out we can go to the park play run around hey active. If we are indoor I can still play and interact with your pet to make sure they are happy.
“This was our first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous about having a stranger come to our home and take proper care of our animals, but Aide did a great job watching our pets while we were on vacation. She was easy to communicate with when I wanted to check in and quick to answer. I would gladly recommend her and use her again in the future.”
“Allison was amazing with our girls Milli and Maxi. She was responsive with all her replies, our special requests and we felt at ease with Allison taling care of our girls at home. The babies always had big smiles and were always very relaxed. Thanks for all the updates and a great job all around. The girls look forward to her next visit.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for basically my whole life. There has never been a time in my life where I wasn’t surrounded by dogs! I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I can help you at any time of the day any day of the week! I have a fenced off yard and 3 friendly dogs including 2 Shih Tzu’s and a Pomeranian. I have multiple crates if needed and let them out and in when needed.
“This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m truly so impressed. My dog unexpectedly had surgery, and I needed to hire someone to watch him when I attended a wedding to ensure he didn’t scratch/lick his wounds as he is a little MacGyver and manages to get out of every cone known to man. Insert Britteny saving the day! She was willing to help with a last minute request, and she was SO attentive to Benny. She sent me so many pictures which eased my anxiety so much, and gave Benny his pain and antibiotic medication regimen without any hiccups. She graciously accepted every request I had, and went above and beyond. The proof was really the fact that in many of the pictures, Benny is curled up cuddling Britteny. I would absolutely recommend Britteny for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Both Benny and I can’t wait to ask for her help again soon.”
“Milton did a FANTASTIC job watching our dogs! Him being here made us feel much more comfortable with us being away. I would recommend Milton to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dogs. 😊”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising group play, ensuring a safe and clean environment, feeding, administering basic care, and closely monitoring each dog’s behavior and well-being. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. In addition to my daycare experience, I also provide housesitting services for some of my regular clients, giving their pets personalized, one-on-one care in a familiar environment. I’m comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, recognizing body language and signs of stress, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate boarding requests at any time, as long as there’s clear communication and some flexibility around my school schedule. I appreciate advance notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. For dog walking, I’m currently available after 2:00 PM each day until May 7. After that date, I’ll have open availability, as long as bookings are made ahead of time. When I’m house sitting, my goal is to keep your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just being outside. I also spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone—this includes attention, affection, and sticking to any routines they’re used to. I’m very attentive to their behavior and will let you know right away if anything seems off. I respect your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Ryan did a great job taking care of my cat and dog. We have never used a pet sitter before and were very pleased with the care that my animals got. We’ll definitely use the service again!”
“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.”
“Journey was great! This is the second time that she’s watched my two dogs and she was awesome. She took excellent care of the dogs and the house and she communicated often with pictures of the dogs. They looked happy and comfortable with her which helped me be at ease and enjoy my vacation fully.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the job that was done for me. From start to finish she was reliable and paid great attention to detail and took exceptional care of my pet. I always leave and return stress free knowing Tamanda is here. Thank you…”
About: I treat your home pets with care as I would like to be treated. Over 12 years of experience caregiving to both neighbors and friends I am currently working part time and have extra time to help out where I can. Any day of the week can work with me. You deserve safety and trusting environment and your pet deserves attention and care at any given time under all circumstances and different paths and lifestyles.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have been caring for animals my entire life. My family dog, Misty, is 14 years old, and I've cared for her since she was a puppy. Over the years, I trained her, took her on daily walks, fed her, and cared for her through every stage of her life. Caring for Misty for the past 14 years has given me firsthand experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. As Misty has gotten older, she was diagnosed with AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia), which has required careful medication management, close monitoring, and a specialized diet. Through this experience, I've become comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention.I truly understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, love, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same level of care and affection that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in caring hands while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday, but I have a one-hour lunch break that allows me to return home for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and quality time with your pet. From Friday through Sunday, I have a much more flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care based on your pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, playtime and mental stimulation, feeding, medication, or simply lots of love and companionship, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and well cared for. I am also available for boarding Friday through Sunday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I tailor my care to each pet's routine and individual needs. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. If needed, I can also administer medications and provide updates with photos so you have peace of mind. For house sitting, I strive to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by caring for them in the comfort of their own home. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide companionship, walks, feeding, medication (if needed), and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. For boarding, your pet will stay in a safe, clean, and loving home where they'll receive lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervised care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will always keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages so you can feel confident they're in good hands.

“Cher is a 5 star house sitter taking care of my 4 year old golden retriever for 3 weeks while I was out of the country. She strike me as trustworthy, extremely clean, and very cautious when walking and monitoring your dog so you know you are in good hands and can travel in peace :) Cher cleaned up and even sanitized the apartment and her guest room, which is a pleasant surprise above and beyond her dog sitting responsibilities. (She also fixed my paper shredded which was broken for a while!). I also enjoyed the daily updates of my baby with photos and videos. Overall, highly recommended!”

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 Needville 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 Needville 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 Needville 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
