“Pon is such a blessing! I have two mini dachshunds, both who are pretty needy, and Pon was so understanding and attentive to their needs. He sent me a picture or two each day while we were gone on our week long vacation. He was very respectful of our home and left it better than he found it. I’m so glad we found Pon for our baby doggy sitter!”

About: I’ve been in a Rover family taking care of dogs and cats of varying age and kind since I was 9! I love playing with your pet(s) and going on walks with them! Hello! I’m currently working part time as I complete grad school. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule to work around your busy one and have plenty of time and availability to love on and care for your pet. My family grew up with our own dogs and we watched many dogs over the years. Now, I love getting to know new furry animals and taking care of them myself! Under my care, your furry family member will receive many walks, pets, and lots of play.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well

About: Hi! My name is Dae, I am 28 years old and have been working in animal hospitals since I was in college. I have my bachelors in Pre-Veterinary Medicine/ Animal Science. I am comfortable with all animals. All the hospitals I have worked in had boarding facilities attached to them. I started out in the boarding side and moved my way up to being a vet tech. I am currently enrolled in school to become a licensed tech as well. Please be aware that I may not be able to do drop ins several times a day. I work 10 hour days- 4 days a week. I can house sit. I am also able to drop in for things such as nail trims for your calm cats and dogs if you’d like. I’m currently working full time 4 days a week. I get of work at 6 pm. So I would be more for the low maintenance pets. I could drop by in the morning and in the evening. My schedule changes weekly and I am off every Sunday. I can only care for your pets at your home. I am able to perform any tasks you would like me to since I have experience handling various pets with various needs.

“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.”

About: My personal experience involves the care of my own two dogs and my fosters over the past four years. My fosters have ranged from puppies to senior dogs, big to small! I’ve cared for over 50 dogs until adoption. I currently have a full-time job in education, but I have time during long holiday breaks, summers, and weekends that I would like to dedicate to pet care. I have experience caring for fosters so I can adjust my care depending on the needs of your pet! I have two dogs of my own and currently fostering and older pittie. I understand the responsibility of caring for your precious fur babies and would work to earn your trust in my care.

About: I’ve always grown up around all different types of animals from dogs and cats to snakes and fish so I have had lots of practice. I have had many family members, family friends and friends of my own ask for help and I’m always so happy to do so!! I am currently taking an online class for college so I am available almost any time and any day. I cannot do Saturday’s because I live with a toddler so I stay home and visit with family on the weekend, but other than that I am free, so why not spend it with cuties!? I always keep up with the animals that are in my care I always make sure I’m paying attention to what they eat, how much they are eating, making sure they have water at all times, I make sure to take them on at least 2-3 walks a day depending on how long they are in my care! I also make sure to provide them some fun and playtime so they are not alone all day or in a kennel cooped up all day either.

About: Hi! I’m a British animal lover who’s recently moved to The Woodlands, and I’d love to help care for your furry family! I’ve grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, so being around animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m also a proud dog mum to two mini dachshunds (my little weiner dogs!), so I know just how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. I regularly volunteer at Montgomery County Animal Shelter, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs and temperaments. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or simply loves a good cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I’ll always take the time to get to know their individual routines, quirks and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, you can count on me to provide loving, reliable care and plenty of updates for your peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family! ❤️🐶🐱 I have a very flexible schedule as I’m not currently working, so I’m available for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, day care or overnight sitting. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and work around what suits you both best! 🐾 I offer loving, reliable pet care in the comfort of your own home, helping your pets feel safe and settled in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific care or medical instructions. Whether your pet is full of energy, a little shy or simply loves company and cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates to give you peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and respect your home as if it were mine. Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to do a meet and greet prior to the booking, discuss their individual needs and routines beforehand to ensure they have the best possible experience! 🐾❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Porter Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Porter Heights is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $88 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 2,825 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Porter Heights. 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 Porter Heights 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 Porter Heights 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 Porter Heights 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 Porter Heights. 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.
