“Kylie took great care of my cat and provided timely updates with cute cat pics! She is very friendly and kind to pets and pet parents. Will definitely avail her services again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! She took great care of our dogs, Dobby and Peluza, while we were away. Communication was excellent, and she was very attentive to their needs. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was also very understanding and flexible when our plans changed. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would happily book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Larisa went above and beyond! I booked with her pretty last minute, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay and even took my dogs to the dog park, which was such a thoughtful extra and not something I had asked or expected her to do. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be booking with Larisa again!”
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around so many. Dogs, cats, ducks, turtles, birds, etc. I have a 17 year old dog and a 2 year old cat and I love them both more than anything. I would love to get to know and take care of your pet! I work full-time with a hybrid schedule, so I have full availability on weekends and Fridays. Monday through Thursday, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve! Your pets’ safety and well-being will always be my top priorities! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. ❤️
“She was wonderful! She arrived on time, kept me updated, and sent pictures during her visit. It was clear that she showed genuine affection and care for my dog. I also appreciated her communication and the kind way she expressed how much she enjoyed caring for him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to look after their furry family member!”
“I am so glad I chose Judy. She has so much patience with fur babies. I had a last minute requirement and didn’t find anyone who could come at the time I needed Leo to be fed. She and her mom spent their time to take care of Leo as per the instructions to the dot. I’d definitely recommend them and book them again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve always treated my own pups like my babies. I’m comfortable with medications, medical treatments, and special-needs care, and I’m definitely no stranger to the unexpected! My previous dogs gave me lots of experience with reactive dogs and dogs with health issues, which taught me to be patient, observant, and flexible with every dog’s individual needs. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m also known to share tips or advice from my own experiences if it’s helpful! Both my husband and I work fully remote from home, so there is almost always someone around! Our home is very dog-friendly, and my office is basically a dog’s dream room—with plenty of comfy spaces to relax and a big window for watching the world go by. We’re able to step away from our desks throughout the day for walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, or even some work time outside. We have a fully fenced in brick patio home with a secure gate and added reinforcement for smaller pups. Our yard has plenty of room to sniff and explore, and our home is already very dog-proofed, it’s their house, we just live here. Dogs are welcome on the couch, bed, and all the cozy spots! We also have a large crate if your pup prefers one. If they’re nervous or need some space, I can easily separate them in another room with a gate. My own dogs are very used to being around other dogs and are friendly and adaptable with new furry friends.
“Ariel was wonderful. I could tell by the way she talked that she absolutely loves animals and I felt totally at ease leaving my horde with her for a week. She came twice a day to check on everyone and I got text updates. I will definitely be booking with her for my next vacation.”
About: I adopted my dog in 2014 and have been his primary caretaker since he was a puppy. He is now a senior dog, and I know how important it is to make sure his medications are taken daily and that he is watched constantly for his safety and care. I have a genuine love for pets and understand that each one is precious. I am responsible, attentive, and committed to providing proper care, including feeding, companionship, and exercise. My goal is to prioritize your pet’s wellbeing while they are in my care and to create a safe and happy environment for them. I’m working full time and would appreciate being notified ahead of time. Otherwise, I am home for the most part. If I do need to step out of the house during a stay, I have multiple family members who have previously helped me with taking care of pets. My weekends can be free, if given notice ahead of time! The safety of pets is my number one priority. A mistake can happen at any time and that is why I always make sure to pay attention to the pet and their surroundings. I watch my senior dog often as he has a disease that causes increased thirst and urination, while also making time to take him on walks so he can enjoy the outside environment.
About: I've worked for a dog training business for 6 years now and am currently working towards being a veterinarian. I love all animals, but have extensive experience in caring for dogs, cats, rats, birds, and frogs. I'm very passionate about treating all animals with respect, including their boundaries. I've volunteered for vet clinics and know basic first aid for all animals listed. If you have an animal I'm unfamiliar with I ask for a week prior so I can research to ensure the safety and comfort of your companion. My college is online and self paced, so I'm fully available and eagar to give your companion my undivided attention. I've cared for puppies, elderly, anxious, and aggressive animals up to 2 weeks with no complications. Every companion is different so I care for everyone differently. I always try to play with them but some just rather be alone, or aren't comfortable with me and that's okay. I know basic first aid and can give medication or physical therapy if directed. I will send a picture or video, along with updates, at least once a day to ensure the safety of your companion. You can always request more if you'd like.
“İ just wanted to inform anyone who is needing a rover, Nicole is amazing. She knew what she was doing. One of my cats is not friendly at all, and Nicole was able to soothe the environment when my cat was a little fiesty, days of seeing their interactions, i saw my cat loved her and was showing her tummy, which is important. İ trust Nicole and would love to have her again for future trips. 100% recommend. Being overseas, her communication and skills are top notch.”
“Loved her! It was my first time using Rover and Cecilia was a gem! She was very professional, on time and understanding. I booked her for four days for drop in visits. I got detailed information about my cat. Definitely will book her again for my little kitty again! Thank you Cecilia!”
“What a relief to have Jamey to watch over our little ones while we were away, especially with the daily shots needed. Was very helpful guiding us on our first booking and daily updates. Thank you!”
“Cheronai did a great job taking care of my three cats while I was away for three days. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up we always had multiple dogs, and I was always a part of the training and care giving. As an adult, I have raised two dogs, a wonderful rescue mutt and an XL Bully, both of which we recently lost to old age. I have a great deal of experience with elderly pets and administering medicines, but I am also great with the young ones! I look forward to be given the opportunity to show your pups the love and care that I gave mine for the last 16 years! I am currently between jobs as I have chosen to leave the classroom after 10 years. So at the moment, I can offer pet care frequently and am happy to do so, especially with the void of recently losing two of my fur babies. We cannot open our home to pet care, one of our cats does not handle other pets in her environment, but I am happy to provide your fur babies with whatever specific needs they require in their home. My husband and I love to travel and have had our fair share of questionable experiences using this app, and I want to ensure you that your babies will be completely safe and cared for exactly how I would want mine cared for.

Atara was a 10/10 sitter! She was very flexible with our last minute request. She asked all the right questions before caring for our senior dog who requires a little extra love. She updated us throughout the time we were gone. Will use her again! And highly recommend (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Houston is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $40 per visit. 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 6,247 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
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.
