“Larisa took great care of Loki and Luna my two service dogs. She also worked with my erratic schedule and made everything more comfortable and less complicated for me. I highly recommend her for sitting your pets!!”
“This is the second time we have used Julie. We were very pleased with the communication while we were gone for two weeks. She advised when there were any issues with the dogs. My two Frenchies absolutely love her. I came home to a clean house. We are looking forward to using Julie again.”
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.
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our Great Dane! Managing a giant breed comes with unique needs, and Chris handled everything with total confidence and care. He followed our pup's eating schedule and exercise routine to the T, making sure he got exactly what he needed. Chris also sent us regular photo and video updates while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pup. We would rebook with Chris in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to any pet parent!”
“OMG, Bethany is amazing. First, she read the instructions and asked really good questions. Throughout her stay, she kept me up to date, spoiled my dog with double walks, and even gave Buddy a bath. Buddy was calm and content when I got home. I wish I could go another trip so Bethany could dog sit again.”
“This was my first time having a sitter come in and stay with my dog for a week, and Ariel was the perfect professional for the job. She was timely, a great communicator, and put me totally at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ana did a tremendous job watching over our pups while we were out of town. She constantly kept us updated and shared pics letting us know they were in great hands. Would definitely book again, highly recommended!”

About: I have years of experience working with animals through veterinary clinics, animal rescue, and caring for reptiles and other exotic pets! I’m comfortable giving medications, caring for diabetic pets, and providing extra attention to senior dogs. I also offer nail trims, red light laser therapy, and potty breaks every 3 hours. For pups who get a little nervous, I have ThunderShirts available to help them feel more comfortable! Dogs are welcome on the bed and furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home! I always respect your household rules and do my best to keep their routine the same while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I stay at home, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day! I’m also naturally up multiple times during the night, which allows me to check on pets regularly and provide extra care or potty breaks when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay! 🐾❤️ I treat every pet in my care just like one of my own! Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home.

Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for! 🐾❤️
“I am SO GLAD I found Ericka. She did such an amazing job watching our little homestead and animals for two weeks. She took care of our dogs, chickens, turtle and cat!! Our home was very well taken care of. And my dogs were so comfortable and happy with her. She sent regular updates and messaged any issues right away. THANK YOU ERICKA!! We are so happy we found you, and hope to book you again!”
“Ari did a great job with Arya! She sent regular updates with pictures, took her on plenty of walks, and even reached out asking if it was ok if she brushed her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Sylena was great with Zero! We booked her to stay the whole day with our pup, she was very punctual and communicative throughout the day. Sent us photos and videos and Zero seemed to have a great day with her. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“It felt so easy having you watch my dog. My dog is an insecure dog and Gabi took her on so well. She provided plenty of updates to keep me in the loop. She went above and beyond taking my dog for walks when she normally just goes out back. When I got my dog back I noticed she was better behaved. I will be hiring Gabi again.”
“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!”
“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 consider Maria to be the perfect dog-sitter for my dogs, or any dogs for that matter. It is clear to me that my dogs miss her very much, and I will definitely rebook within a couple of months. Maria is completely trustworthy, capable in all respects, and a true friend for my animals - not to mention a great person as well. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I grew up with dogs and I am a pet owner myself, so I know what it takes to look after them! You can rely on me to take proper care of your own pets. This includes walking, playing, feeding, bathing, and dog-sitting. I am currently an online grad student working from home so I have availability throughout the week and weekends to look after your pet. My schedule is flexible so just reach out to me and we can make something work! If you are interested in boarding, I have a fenced backyard and live in a community with a walking trail and dog park for your pet to get plenty of exercise and entertainment. I live with my partner, so I will have additional help to look after your pet. I also have 2 friendly dogs that can keep your dog company!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 7 years and truly love what I do.

I work at a private school from 8-3 Monday-Friday and can provide care overnight and before and after work. I also have some flexibility from 11am-1pm for mid day breaks depending on location/needs I treat every home with respect and care, just like I do with your pets.

Mary was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs and our home. This was the first time we had someone stay in our house and while I was a bit nervous, Mary quickly put me at ease with lots of photos and updates. She was a great communicator! We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in such kind, caring hands. Highly recommend Mary!
Judy was fantastic with our 2 little guys. They bonded with her at their meet and greet, so we knew they would be in good hands. She took such good care of them while we were gone and communicated throughout our trip. We will definitely use Judy on our next vacation!!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Houston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Houston is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $98 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Houston. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Houston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
