“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!”
“Desiree was amazing in caring for our 3 cats and turtle and provided pictures at every visit (twice daily) to let us know how they were doing. :) We will definitely use her again!”
“Hannah took great care of our cats. She provided pictures and comments for the visits and was very responsive in our communications. Definitely would recommend as a sitter and will consider using her services again.”
About: I cared for my German Shepherd for three years, raising him from four months old with daily training, exercise, and affection. I also fostered a six-month-old cat for six months, providing patient, loving care and enjoying every moment. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and full availability for the next month, ready to provide reliable, and great care every day of the week! I provide attentive, loving care by following each pet’s routine, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, playtime, and comfort—treating every pet like family whether in my home or theirs. 🐾
“Anahi was great with my cats, taking care of them over the long holiday weekend. I appreciate the daily updates so I can enjoy my time away knowing they are safe and cared for.”
“Stephanie took great care of my cats during a recent trip! I appreciated her looking into their profiles before we even met, asking questions when needed, and figuring out a different way to medicate one of the kitties when he gave her a hard time at first. Timely drop-ins and cute photos also helped! My partner and I came home to the apartment looking exactly like we’d left it and chill, well-cared-for kitties who’d been lacking nothing but their humans.”
“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: Hello! My name is Mariana, and I am a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter who loves animals of all kinds. I have experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I developed strong skills in supervising pets, maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment activities, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own. I am dependable, attentive to detail, and dedicated to keeping pet owners updated with regular communication and photos. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet parents while ensuring their furry family members receive the highest level of care. I’m currently in college part time and take online classes so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies and give them their needs! I have a fenced yard in my home as well as two friendly dogs. both of my dogs have crates and i can crate any puppy if needed.
About: Hi! I'm Elisa. After several years of international travel and pet sitting, I'm now based back in Houston, where I work remotely as a consultant and help care for pets in my local community. Over the years, I've cared for pets and homes throughout the U.S., Australia, Portugal, Mexico, and the U.K. Some of those sits were completed alongside a partner through TrustedHousesitters, while many were completed independently. Today, all Rover bookings are with just me. A few things about me: 🐾 Over 6 years of pet sitting experience ⭐ 15+ completed house sits total 🏡 8 TrustedHousesitters sits with 100% 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews 🌎 International pet sitting experience across 5 countries 💻 Remote consultant, allowing me to spend more time at home with pets 🐶🐱Experience with dogs & cats of all ages, from puppies to seniors 💊 Comfortable administering oral medications and following special diets Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, walks, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I want you to return to happy pets and a home exactly as you left it. I work remotely, so pet sitting fits naturally into my day. That's actually how I spent several years pet sitting internationally. During the week, I'm usually working from your home, giving pets plenty of companionship throughout the day. I may occasionally step out for lunch or coffee but otherwise I'm home most of the time. My schedule is also flexible enough to accommodate weekends. I know every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I follow your care instructions closely, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, and let pets get to know me at their own pace. Whether that's treats, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their space, I want them to feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing.

I understand how important it is for my safety and for the pet’s safety to respect their space, pace, and disposition.

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 .

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.
