“This is thw first time I used Cali. She was prompt. She sent pictures. Babies were happy and healthy when I got home. Ahe even went above and beyond and did some housework for me!”
“We had such a great experience! We were spending the day at Lake Conroe and needed someone we could trust with our little doggies so we could get out and enjoy some activities without worrying about them. She did an amazing job, kept us updated, and most importantly made us feel completely comfortable knowing our babies were being taken care of. That peace of mind meant a lot to us and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our day. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their pets. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guys! 🐾❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Wendi! 🤍 Caring for animals isn’t just my job ,it’s something I genuinely love. I work with pets every day, so I’m experienced in handling all kinds of personalities and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just have a calm companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Pet care is a part of my everyday life! I work with animals daily, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow their routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. If they stay in my home, I have a clean space, friendly dogs, a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run, and a way to separate pets when needed to keep everyone happy and comfortable. 🐾
“Hannah was an absolute rockstar cat sitter this past week. I’ve never had an overnight sitter and was unsure what to expect. Plus, my cat Christine can be a bit of a brat. Hannah was cool, calm, and collected when the brat decided she wanted to spend two days outside. Hannah made sure to give me updates each day and eventually Christine decided she was done with the heat and outside adventures. It was so nice to return home and not have to worry about the house or the cat. Hannah was also very patient with the fact that my house was being painted and there were painters outside almost every day. Thank you so much Hannah! You are amazing!”
“Victoria was amazing with our fur babies and they really seemed to like her! Great communication. Highly recommend! We will definitely use her for our pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Tammy is just incredible. She’s stayed with our pup a number of times now and is just so dependable, professional, flexible, and responsive. We trust her entirely in our house and with our dog.”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of pretty much any animal under the sun for all my life. I’ve had many people entrust me to care for their furry (or scaly!) babies while they were away, and I’ve loved every experience. i’m currently a college student, so I usually have time during the day to check in on your pets when I don’t have classes! Let me know how many times a day you’d like me to come see your pets and I will do my best to make it happen! I will make sure your pets get plenty of play time to get their energy out! I also know anxiety can be high among animals when their owners are gone, so I’ll be sure to shower them with affection too.
“We got in touch with Riley after our previously booked sitter had a last minute calendar change and was no longer available. From the get go, Riley was very responsive and attentive. We felt not only our pups were in good hands but our home was too! In addition to multiple daily updates and pictures, she took out the trash, vacuumed and mopped the floors all before we got home! We were so surprised and impressed as we have never had a sitter go the extra mile like that before. We will definitely be using Riley again in the future and will recommend her to anyone else looking for a reputable, responsible and caring pet/home sitter! Thank you, Riley! Spanner and Tiller send their cuddles!”
About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals and tend to gravitate toward the pets in any room I’m in! I grew up with both cats and dogs and have always considered them part of the family. I currently walk my own dogs daily and have experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’ve done check ins for family members and close friends, as well as pet sitting jobs for neighbors and friends. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. Your pets aren't just pets, they're family, and I’ll treat them that way! 🐶🐱 I'm currently working part time, but most of my shifts only take up half the day, which allows me plenty of free time ready to be spent with your fur babies!! I am accustomed to doing stay-over pet sitting jobs and know how to be respectful of the home. I will only go in the rooms necessary to the job and keep mostly to main living areas unless specified otherwise. I also know that all pets have different routines/eating habits and am willing to learn the best way to take of your pets!
“Odalis is absolutely amazing and I will be using her every time I need. She sent so many pictures, literally over 40 in a week. She updated me without asking, loved on them, played with them and my frenchie loved her so much he slept with her! Highly recommend her . 100/10 🤍🐶”
“My anxious dogs were so calm when we came home after 6 days gone. They used to be traumatized and get sick whenever we kenneled. Gina was amazing with them. They had lots of meds they were taking, and we had recently moved from several states away. I could tell that they were very comfortable with her! She kept in regular contact sending fun pics and videos of our boys. Came home to a spotless house and well taken care of dogs!!”
About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs from my own, family and friends', fosters, animal shelters... the list goes on. I love animals. I have an apple head chihuahua (7 years old) and 2 GSD-Malinois puppies that are 5 months old. I'm the sitter that sends consistent pictures, updates, and pays 24/7 attention to your babies. I want to be the person that puts you at ease, as I know how it feels to be worried about leaving your babies. Hoping to find furry friends for my puppies too! EVERY. DAY. My older chihuahua is very low maintenance, but my GSD-Malinois puppies are extremely needy. We're very active, outside every 2 hours at least, tennis balls, tug-o-war, treat training, dog walks, and hug and kisses time. Depends on the age, but, first and foremost, is check the floor and keep my belongings out of reach. Give the pets space and time to adjust, offer some treats, and follow your pet's lead- both in my home or yours. Everything revolves around the baby.
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
About: Hi! I’m Alana. I’m based in the Conroe/Willis area, but I’m currently a sophomore at UTSA pursuing my master’s degree in Psychology, so I’m also available in the San Antonio area! I keep my calendar updated regularly, but feel free to message me anytime with questions or availability inquiries. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Pets hold such a special place in my heart, not only because they’re adorable, but because of the unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives. Pet sitting is more than just a job to me, it’s something I truly care about. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication routines, or cozy cuddle time, I’m here to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always played an active role in their care. I have a 14 year old cat named Tootie, whom I’ve had since I was 4 years old, and I now care for her full time to ensure she stays comfortable and well loved. I also help care for our 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever, Lucy, who has separation anxiety and arthritis, as well as our energetic 7-year-old Golden Retriever, Dino. Caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs has given me hands on experience with administering medications, maintaining routines, exercise, emotional support, and senior pet care. I’ve also pet sat for both dogs and cats outside of my home, and I always approach every experience with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals of all ages. As a pet parent to a senior dog with separation anxiety, a senior cat, and a high energy golden retriever, pet care is already an essential part of my everyday life. My mornings start with the 1st meal of the day, making sure water bowls are filled, they have gone outside & have done their business, & structured walks and individual attention giving my golden retriever the active start he needs, while making sure my senior pets have a calm, predictable routine that suits their pace. Throughout the day, I ensure everyone gets what they need, their dinner, their playtime in the pool, medication, & quiet snuggles. This experience makes me highly adjusted to different energy levels, medical needs, and emotional cues, and it’s made pet care second nature in both my daily and weekly routines. It also means I’m never far from a leash, a toy, or a comforting word because I truly love and live this life every day! As a dedicated and responsible pet sitter, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress free environment for your pet while you're away! I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, or simply cuddling on the couch. I make sure that your pet receives the care and attention they need, any special instructions you provide, from medical needs to behavioral needs. Your pet’s well being is my top priority, and I’m committed to giving them the same level of care and affection I would give to my own. As a girl that can’t imagine life without my 3 pets, you can trust me to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and secure, while keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can rest easy while you’re away!
About: I've grown up in a big family, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. Between my siblings' pets, I've spent years helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they're happy and comfortable! I'm dependable, attentive, and will care for your pets and home as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I am currently a private nanny with a M-F 8am-4pm schedule, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your pet and or home. A typical day for me starts at 6 am so playtime and breakfast are always fun! Dependent on your pet and their routine, things are always subject to change, but I can ensure that your and their needs will be met. I know that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big decision. Your pet's safety will always be my top priority. I'm attentive to the little details, whether that's making sure gates and doors are securely closed, double-checking locks, following feeding and medication instructions exactly, or keeping a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I'll care for them with the same caution and love I'd want for my own. You can trust that I'll treat your home with respect, keep your pets safe, and communicate with you so you always have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I grew up in a household full of love for animals, and that passion was passed down to me. I’ve raised many dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pet as part of the family — loved, cared for, and spoiled with affection. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels happy and safe while you’re away. I’m a mom raising three boys, so caring for others is just part of my day — pets included! I have a flexible schedule and can fit walks, visits, or overnight stays into my routine easily. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. At my home, pets have plenty of space to explore and play! I have a huge, partially fenced yard, and we live off a quiet dirt road with a pond and private walking trails. We can go leashed or unleashed, whatever your pet prefers. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to take walks, play, or just enjoy fresh air with your pets. If I’m caring for them at your home, I always follow your rules and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I had both cats and dogs my entire like and I’m comfortable caring for both energetic young pets and senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or more frequent attention. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or training routines to help pets feel comfortable while their parent is away. I am currently a student at Sam Houston State University, studying Kinesiology (Pre-PT), so my schedule can be a little hectic. My availability is not always completely accurate, but if you get in contact with me we can work something out! I am super laid back and love to just spend time laying around, but I can also get up and moving if your pet is high energy.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Waverly
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Waverly on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Waverly. 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 New Waverly 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 New Waverly 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 New Waverly 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Waverly. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
