Stephanie continues to be a reliable, wonderful-to-work with sitter for our cats! When a family emergency came up, she graciously made herself available to check in on them throughout the weekend and was even proactive about adjusting the apartment’s heat so that the cats wouldn’t be cold. As always, thank you for showing Penny and Cyrus such exceptional care!

Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!

About: I’ve been raising animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is open and flexible, so I’m able to provide care whenever you need it, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute requests. I have one dog of my own and a spacious, treated, and securely fenced yard that provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet to enjoy.

Allie was really great with our little toy Australian Shepherd pups. They warmed right up to her when she first met them. She was really great working with us too. He kept us informed with texts and pics. Love her energy and enthusiasm with our furry lil’ family members. I would definitely hire here again and highly recommend her to others.

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.

About: I've have dogs and cats my whole life. I've had big dogs and small dogs and cats of all affection levels! At my previous job, I learned pet care is my passion. I want you (the owner) to have a great trip knowing you are leaving part of your family with someone who genuinely cares for them. I recently left a private pet sitting company due to a move so I can dedicate most of my day to your pets and work with your schedule. I pride myself on following feeding, potty, medicine, and all other instructions as accurately as I can! I understand that schedule changes in a pets routine can greatly affect them and want to minimize any and all anxieties for y'all.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, going to neighbors’ houses and helping my mom with her Rover pet sitting. I graduated in 2024 as a certified veterinary technician, and started working at the clinic I completed my year long internship at. I love all animals and can’t wait to help you find the perfect sitter for your pet’s needs! I currently hold a full time position at an animal hospital. I interact with patients daily and am in charge of patient husbandry and clinical care. I have a fenced yard for your angels with plenty of room for zoomies, and copious space inside for hanging out or playing. Nightly cuddles available on request, or pets can be housed in a kennel in a separate room based on owner and pet preference.

I want to make sure all dogs feel comfortable and safe in their environment and routine

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is my calm approach, reliability, and ability to handle both energetic pups and gentle seniors. I treat every dog like family and make sure owners feel confident and updated every step of the way. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me dedicate quality time to pets throughout the week. I’m available on weekdays and between classes, so I can make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I can crate pets if needed or based on owner preference. My priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs whether it’s going on walks or dog sitting. I even have my own dog that I’ve had for 8 years now. I do have a full time job but I have free time for Friday-Sunday even during the week after work. If it’s Monday-Thursday I can do it after 6pm I don’t mind dog sitting at your home if needed. I wouldn’t be able to bring them to my home since I live in an apartment.

About: Hi! I’m Darlene. A little into my personal life: -I’m 30 years old. -SHSU Alumna 🧡💙🤍 -Vet Tech for 6 years -I have two dogs: Marley, my senior boy. He’s 16 years old and doesn’t seem to have much thoughts lol but he’s still trucking along. It’s his world, we’re just living in it. Yumi, my 6 year old girl. We like to call her the sweetest, most beautiful bby in the entire world. She’s a sweet heart and is a proud member of the lamb chop cult. Both of my dogs are adopted from shelters. 🐾💛 -My hobbies are reading, watching horror movies, playing my ninendo switch, and spending time with my husband/dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies. 🐾 I currently work full-time as a vet tech. I usually work 4x10’s and I’m off on the weekends. I like to be as transparent as possible with you, and I do my best to try and leave for lunch and give your babies a potty break, but it’s not always a guarantee, given the nature of my job. I really try not to disrupt their routine while you’re away and I will love on them and care for them like they’re my own. Every dog/cat deserves that & I’m very big on cuddles and sending photos with updates!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in South Houston on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,325 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 .

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Houston. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
