About: I have owned some sort of pet, mostly dogs my whole life. I am currently caring for 2 of my own little ones and want to care for more. I have volunteered at local dog shelters when I was in high school and have dog sat for people in my everyday life. I believe pets should be treated and cared for like family and that’s what I intend to do! This will allow me to work and do something I love at the same time, I am a college student and I’m just trying to stable myself financially. I hope you will give me a chance to show you how well I can love, play with and care for your furry family members without trouble! I have experience with blind and deaf dogs and care for the stray cats on the streets because I cannot own one of my own at the moment. My schedule is super flexible as of now! I have a pretty open schedule and I am willing to arrange a set schedule as well. I do have a fenced yard that isn’t very large but a small safe neighborhood. I do have 2 dogs in the house at the moment, two little ones.
“Remy was so good on checking my boy Zeus twice a day while we were gone for the weekend. We definitively plan to use her in the future and hope that we can work our way to daycare days and boarding possibly. Thank you so much Remy!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Houston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 South 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in South Houston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
