We got in touch with Riley after our previously booked sitter had a last minute calendar change and was no longer available. From the get go, Riley was very responsive and attentive. We felt not only our pups were in good hands but our home was too! In addition to multiple daily updates and pictures, she took out the trash, vacuumed and mopped the floors all before we got home! We were so surprised and impressed as we have never had a sitter go the extra mile like that before. We will definitely be using Riley again in the future and will recommend her to anyone else looking for a reputable, responsible and caring pet/home sitter! Thank you, Riley! Spanner and Tiller send their cuddles!

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.

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: Hi! I'm Brizza, a 24-year-old Animal Science student at Sam Houston State University with 9 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I'm currently based in League City for the summer and look forward to caring for pets in the surrounding area. I've worked as both a veterinary assistant and technician. My experience allows me to recognize abnormal behavior early, administer oral medications and injections, monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort, and provide compassionate, attentive care. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, lots of playtime, or simply someone who understands their unique personality, I'm happy to help. I currently volunteer with a wildlife rehabilitator to continue expanding my knowledge while building experience for veterinary school. I'm comfortable caring dogs, cats, and other small mammals, including seniors and pets with medical needs. Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'm dependable, responsible, and committed to keeping both you and your pet comfortable through regular updates, photos, and communication while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special medical needs, I'd be honored to provide the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! As a full-time Animal Science student, I have a flexible schedule this summer and am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week in the League City area. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority to give every pet plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I'll happily follow your pet's normal routine—including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and bedtime routines—to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With nearly a decade of veterinary experience, I'm trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior that may indicate illness, pain, or stress and can administer oral medications and injections when needed. I practice calm, low-stress handling and tailor my approach to each pet's personality, whether they're energetic, anxious, shy, or senior. I will treat your home with the same respect I would my own, carefully follow all care instructions, keep your pet's environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

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! 🐾❤️

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 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. You can trust that I'll treat your home with respect, keep your pets safe, and communicate with you so you always have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of pets for family members and friends for over 5 years now. It started when a friend had an emergency out of town and needed help. It was a pleasure to sit in and feed, play, and send goofy pictures of my friend’s dog to provide ease and comfort during a hard time. I work full time and that means my cats are fed on a routine. They require a special diet that requires portioned meals and time to play. I have an active pet cam that I am able to use to talk to them when I am not home to provide comfort and time dispensers for treats. I will abide by your routine and follow directive on when to feed, when to walk, and when to provide or administer medication. Only you know your companion best and in order to provide safety and structure, as your care-taker it would be a privilege to honor your schedule and routine.

About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I have had multiple pets in my life. Right now I have a 4 year old cat and a 1 year old dog. I am currently home all the time. Only if I’m shopping for different things like grocery or pet food and toys. We usually wake up at 6 and then it’s breakfast time then we go for walks. I have a fenced in small yard but big enough to run around and play in. I have to animals. I have a dog and a cat. My babies enjoy watching their tv shows. They both have different interests and favorite so they usually take both the tvs in my house.

FAQs for House Sitting - Phelps

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 343 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.
