“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!”
“Riley is awesome!! She took such good care of my two pups while we were traveling for the holidays. She sent lots of updates with pictures. They got lots of cuddles and attention. I appreciated that Riley treated them like her own. Will definitely be using Riley in the future and would recommend to my friends in the area!!”
About: I’ve worked at a humane society as an animal care technician, I cleaned kennels, walked dogs, socialized with dogs and cats, fed and provided water, and gave medication prescribed to dogs. I also dog sat for my mom’s friend for a full week, I fed them and filled their water bowls and gave them daily attention with multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I’m currently a college student and schedule wise I am available on weekends and for Monday and Friday I’m available after 11:00am and for the rest of the weekdays I’m available after 2:30pm I don’t have any pets of my own but when I am at my parents house I take care of the dogs by feeding them and filling water bowls, I also spend time with them by play tug of war. So if you need someone who will show your pet affection, you can count on me
About: I have been responsible for caring for animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been something I truly enjoy. I volunteered at an animal shelter when I was just 12 years old, and growing up, my family always had dogs, horses, and livestock. I learned early on that animals depend on us for their care, safety, exercise, and companionship. As an adult, we have had several family pets, all of whom remained part of our family for their entire lives. One of our dogs was a diabetic Chesapeake Retriever who required daily insulin, which taught me the importance of being consistent, attentive, and comfortable with special care needs. I currently live at a lake house situated on three lots, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. I have two rescue dogs of my own—a Lab mix who has been with us for ten years and a one-year-old Mountain Cur mix. My home has two floors with separate entrances, which allows me to safely and easily separate dogs if they need their own space or don’t get along. I enjoy taking my dogs on leash walks down to the lake and around the neighborhood, and I am always careful to clean up after them. I have also cared for my grand-dog in Queens, so I am very familiar with the responsibilities that come with caring for someone else’s beloved pet, including keeping their space clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I don’t see caring for dogs as simply a responsibility—I genuinely love spending time with them. I enjoy playing with dogs, giving them attention and affection, taking them for walks, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I understand that leaving a pet with someone is a big decision, and I would treat every dog entrusted to me as I would my own. I am retired so my availability is wide open. I have plenty of room both inside and outside for your pet. I live with an adult son so my dogs are cared for if i commit to sitting at your home. I have three lots so plenty of room for dogs to play. It is not fenced so I will always be with your dog whenever outside. I live in a rural neighborhood so I can walk dogs on a leash throughout the neighborhood including down to the lake.
“Cali was amazing! Our pets love her. We will 100% be using her as our sitter whenever we go out of town. She communicated through the booking, sent pictures of our babes while we were aware and treated our home with respect. I highly recommend booking with Cali!”
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds, including high-energy dogs, seniors, and even puppies. I am comfortable administering oral medications and topical treatments when needed. Your dog's health, safety, and comfort always come first. I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel relaxed and happy while you're away. We'll enjoy playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of pets. I'm confident maintaining existing training and reinforcing good habits along the way. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your dog's well-being, I'd love to help care for your four-legged family! I currently work full-time, with typical 8-5 hours, however my schedule is flexible which allows me to be flexible to your dogs needs. If I am staying at your home, my routine will be molded to fit the needs of your pet, including when I wake up, being home with your pup when I am not at work, walks, and more. Your pet is my priority! I will follow all your instructions, and assure that the care of your pet(s) and your property is excellent.
“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: 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.
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’ve done check ins for family members and close friends, as well as pet sitting jobs for neighbors and friends.

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!

About: Growing up, we always had a Labrador and a cat, and as an adult, I have grown to love them even more. I am incredibly interested in learning about and understanding all kinds of breeds. Having my own pets, caring for family and friends, and volunteering over the years have all contributed to my pet-care experience. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and cared for. As soon as I meet your dog or cat, I will introduce myself and become friends with them. According to feeding schedules, I'll make sure they have plenty of food and drink, play with them either inside or outside, and get them very, really sleepy so they won't be worried while you're gone.
“We were so happy with Haidyn and will certainly be using her again! She was quick to reply and easy to coordinate with, reliable and kind. She house sat our energetic foster dog as well as our many cats while we were out of the country and we came home to happy animals and a clean home! She was very knowledgeable about animals and did her research on our dog's needs prior to meeting. We greatly appreciated her passion and love for animals, knowing ours were being so well taken care of while we were gone.”
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Phelps. 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 Phelps 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 Phelps 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 Phelps 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 Phelps. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
