“John was great very communicative, attentive, and punctual with Bella. This was my first experience using a sitter outside of my family, and I must say I was really happy to have found him. He made the entire process comfortable and stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend him as a sitter.”
“She’s awesome! Took such good care of Kobe and Teddy and even left the place super tidy. You can tell she really loves dogs. Gave us peace of mind and made sure we were updated all the time”
“She took great care of our dogs and cat while we were gone. She updated us frequently throughout her time with our pets and was very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”
“Julie did an amazing job. I am a new rover customer and my experience with Julie was incredible. She took time to let us know of our expectations with her service. My dog Samantha was well taken care of and I received daily updates and pictures. Definitely recommend Julie and will use her in future services. House was well taken care of as well. A+++”
“Aimee did a fantastic job with our boys. Her communication was exceptional and we got pictures and video. We would highly recommend booking with Aimee and we will definitely be booking again.”
“Larisa was EXCEPTIONAL! She stayed at my home with my dogs (3 of them). She played outside with them everyday and was in constant contact with me. My dogs are very spoiled and usually take days to warm up to someone. They were her best friends within hours of me leaving. She really went above and beyond. They were sad to see her leave and waited at the door to see if she would come back. I will definitely be using Larisa again. My only issue is my dogs love her too much 😂 especially my border collie who got more playtime in the 5 days I was gone than see normally does in a month! Very attentive and loving pet sitter.”
“I left my puppy for the weekend for the first time so I was a bit nervous on how she’d do, but she did great! The sitter was good at updating and sending photos and making sure I knew Peppa was fine! She looked very happy in all the photos she sent :) I 10/10 recommend and I’ll 100% use her service in the future again”
“Having Judy and Betty here to watch my babies gave us great peace of mind. We haven't been on vacation in ages because we were worried about leaving our fur babies. We will definitely be using them again in the future! And my puppies love them!”
“Terri was awesome! I have to high energy pups and she absolutely wore them out! She swam with them and kept them on their toes with training. We will definitely be using her 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!”
“Mya is truly an amazing person. We had a last minute family trip come up and luckily, I came across her profile just days before. I felt so at peace leaving my home and furbabies with her, she did such an amazing job. Mya has our trust and can’t wait to use her again the future. -The Ang’s”
“Cecilia was amazing with my girls! I was skeptical about having someone I didn’t know watching my girls, or stay in my home while I was away. When I met Cecilia in person, my worries immediately disappeared. Cecilia exceeded my expectations. I was able to relax while away and not worry about my girls. I was greeted every morning and throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girls, and she took wonderful care of my home. I will definitely be utilizing Cecilia’s services again!!”
“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.”
“Jairo was great with ours dogs! He kept us updated, communicated well. We really appreciated the notes he left about each of them during his stay with them. It gives us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!”

“Thi and her husband were amazing! As someone who’s used a lot of dogsitters in the past (including friends) they are the best yet. When i got home i could tell my dog connected with her immensley! My dog greeted me but after she settled down, she wanted to be by Thi’a side! More importantly i got home to an amazing clean house! I think she left my house better than she found it. She was extremely prompt with my questions when I booked her. I highly recommend her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Houston
We could not be happier with the care Tuxie received. Throughout the entire stay Olivia provided frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She took the time to learn Tuxie’s personality, routines, and quirks, and it was obvious he felt comfortable, happy, and loved in her care. What impressed us most was her attentiveness and judgment. Whether it was monitoring his toys for safety, reinforcing his training, keeping him active and engaged, or simply making sure he was having fun, she consistently went above and beyond. Tuxie looked relaxed, confident, and completely at home. Finding someone you trust with your dog is not easy, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, communicative, and truly exceptional sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our little Tuxie. 🖤🐾
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!
Mary is amazing! We are so grateful to have found her. Our pets are family and we have had a longtime pet/house sitter we loved who has moved out of the area. We were a bit anxious about finding a new pet/house sitter but Mary put our fears at ease. Right off the bat Mary was professional and made the process seamless. She is everything we were hoping for. She was very nurturing and considerate with our dogs and house. Honestly I don't want to write this review as we want Mary all to ourselves but the right thing to do is share the love.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Houston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Houston on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,845 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 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.

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.
