About: Hey! I’m Karissa. I’m a proud girl dog mom to two amazing pups—Chayse and Shadow. Because I know how much peace of mind matters when you're away, I wanted to open up my home to give other local dogs a safe, fun, and loving environment. I work a hybrid schedule, which means I'm home full-time on Mondays and Fridays, and available for weekend sleepovers (Friday through Monday). I have a fully fenced backyard for endless fetch sessions, and my downstairs area is completely set up as a dog-friendly zone with cool flooring, toys, and a secure layout. And for those hot Houston days, I have a sprinkler and splash pool. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I require a mandatory meet-and-greet in our secure, fully fenced backyard before any booking is accepted. My dogs are fully vaccinated, and I only accept social, dog-friendly pups. I also have a crate available if your dog needs a structured nap or bedtime routine.
“Sandra was so great and took such wonderful care of our three big dogs and our home! She is so kind and caring, and our fur babies just loved her. She kept us updated with texts and pics during our week-long trip. We arrived back home to happy pups and a clean home! We couldn't have asked for more, and we look forward to having Sandra help us again in the future!”
“The dogs liked him. He was very attentive. Kept us posted on everything that was going on with daily pictures with updates. Will definitely use him again.”
“Sofia provided a great care for our puppy while we were at work. Sofia, It was so nice to meet you and work with you. Thank you so much, looks like baby Atlas has a new friend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was sixteen. With five cats at home and a senior dog at my house, I also enjoy working with all kinds of dogs and cats at animal shelters and doggy daycares! I am always excited to look after your fur baby and make sure they are happy and comfortable! I’m currently working part-time at a doggy daycare, and I am always willing to work with your schedule to take care of your pets! Whether it’s a morning/afternoon walk or a daily pet sitting session, your pets’ needs are my top priority. I provide care in your own home, where your pets are comfortable in a familiar environment. I understand that each animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, and give them all the attention and playtime so that they feel safe and cared for!
About: I've had animals my entire life: dogs and cats both. I used to work at a pet store and learned a lot from my time there. I currently live in a house with two dogs (one small and one large) and a cat. I have ample experience with all breed types and dogs of all sizes, as well as animals with special needs. I work full time at a bookstore and can commit to dog walking in afternoons and mornings, as well as check ins! I am also open to pet sitting options in the future. I work at a bookstore close to full time (around 35 hours a week.) I am available in the mornings before I leave (before 8) as well as in the afternoons after 4! I do not work weekends, so I can commit to more long term hours and visits then. I do well to listen to all instructions given to me and never make any decisions before consulting with you. I kennel my own dog, and have him on a schedule that works best for him. I know that all animals are different and do my best to ensure your baby is well taken care of and isn't given any unnecessary stress.
About: I’ve been a vet tech for 2 years now and have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m experienced in working with Dogs and Cats and enjoy being around them and loving all like my own! I’m currently full time at a vet clinic, however available any time Wednesdays, Saturday, Sunday or anytime after 6pm for Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday. In my clients' homes, I maintain the pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration if needed, and lots of companionship to help them feel secure and stress-free. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive hands-on experience, having lovingly raised five Chihuahuas through their senior years. My home features a spacious, fully fenced backyard in a quiet, gated neighborhood—perfect for safe play and daily exercise. Since we currently have no resident pets, your dog will enjoy my complete, uninterrupted focus and care!" I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always at home and have lots of time available. I love taking care of pets and spending my time with them I have a fenced backyard and also has an extra protection at the bottom so the dogs won’t be able to get out. I also live in a private gated neighborhood where not a lot of cars drive by.

“Shannon was incredible. I don’t know where to start. She sent me photos and videos of my pup the whole time and loved on her. It felt so nice to know that my dog was being treated with such love and care. Shannon not only took amazing care of my dog, but my home as well. She folded towels that I didn’t have time to get to, she put dishes away from the dishwasher so as to not leave dishes in the sink, and she stripped the bed before leaving. Cannot recommend her enough!! I will absolutely be using her again when we need a sitter!”
“She was great. She checked in through the day, sent photos and videos each day, she communicated very well and I appreciate her time with them and taking care of our home as well for the week we were gone. Respectful of your home and dogs snd would recommend her to anyone. Appreciate her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Houston
Mary did a wonderful job taking care of Puff, including following all of our extensive instructions for our picky little dude. We came home to a happy dog and an amazingly clean house. Although Mary had to leave early for a family emergency, that happens to all of us and I am sure it was a one-time thing. We have already re-booked with her!
Kylie was absolutely amazing with my two dogs this weekend! From the moment I left, she gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond by sending pictures every single time she arrived and left, along with updates that reassured me my babies were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals, and she treated my dogs as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands allowed me to truly enjoy my time away without worrying. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pets. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my babies Kylie! I will absolutely be booking with you again!
We booked Diana for an overnight house sitting for our two dogs while we went out of town and she was amazing!! Took great care of our two dogs, sent regular updates, and even watered some of our plants for us. I could tell my dogs loved her and would recommend her to anyone!
Sophia is amazing! She was very communicative throughout her stay and took very good care of two dogs. She was able to get our boy, Orbit to eat as he usually goes on a food strike when things are out his routine. Sofia is absolutely trustworthy and reliable. We look forward to booking her again soon!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Houston is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 North 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 North 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.
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 North 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.
