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.
“Matty did a wonderful job caring for my four dogs. She was punctual, responsible, and stayed for the full amount of time we agreed upon. She communicated very well, sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, and asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to each dog’s individual needs. She handled separating them responsibly, made sure everyone had access to foo/water, and was calm and patient enough that even my more sensitive dog, Missy, warmed up to her and became affectionate with her. That meant a great deal to me. My dogs clearly liked her, and I felt confident that they were safe and well cared for while I was away. She was thoughtful, reliable, efficient, and genuinely caring. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my dogs again.”
“Faith was fantastic with our 3 bullies! They took to her immediately. I could tell from the pictures that they felt right at home with her. She was excellent at giving the boys their meds and keeping track of it. She would also let me know of anything that seemed out of the norm asap. I give her 5 stars! It’s hard to find someone who understands and is willing to cater to my wild and spoiled boys, but Faith managed it with flying colors!”

I have a large yard and home with plenty of space for outdoor play, a few parks and a bayou nearby to take your fur baby out on a nice walk.

I work part-time and have open availability. Dog parks visits are a favorite! Potty breaks are frequently given and walks as well unless otherwise discussed.

I do offer a medium crate and separate eating/drinking tray for your fur baby! Shampoos and brushing available upon request during their stay and can be given if they do get dirty during their stay or outdoor/playtime.
“Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼”
About: 🐾 From active pups in need of structure and training to gentle older pets in need of extra patience, I have expertise taking care of dogs of all ages. Whether it's engaging games, soothing cuddles, or adhering to unique routines like medication or food requirements, I'm excellent at interpreting a dog's body language and making them feel safe and loved. I prioritize open communication and regular updates to provide you peace of mind while you're away because I understand how crucial it is to trust someone with your cherished family member. My schedule is completely open for any and all needs that your pets may require :) I genuinely love spending time with animals, so I make sure my schedule allows plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to help with little extras, like bringing in mail or watering plants, to make things easier while you’re away. I always send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe and happy.
About: A brief summary of my experience, for over 10 years I have been a pet sitter and house sitter. Helping family, friends, recommended to neighbors, and coworkers. I have looked after tiny Yorkies to great danes of all ages. My care for pets have extended to a day to a whole month. At this time I work from home full time, but I am available to step away to do check ins as well as stay overnight if needed. I highly value keeping pet parents updated and informed. Communication, texts, and photos will be sent along their daily activity updates. I love to give each pet the acquired attention and care they need.
“Lindy took great care of our elderly dog and home while we were away! Great communication and kept us up to date on Remy while we were away! Will definitely use Lindy again in the future!”
“Shirlette made me feel so comfortable when she was watching our dogs and cats! She communicates well, sent lots of cute pictures and went the extra mile teaching a stubborn puppy to walk better on the leash. I look forward to leaving the fur babies with her on my next trip!”
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time ever leaving Pete with someone I didn’t personally know, so I was definitely nervous. Emilee immediately made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. I was out of state for 5 days and she sent constant updates, which gave me so much peace of mind the entire trip. I just got back and Pete is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience I would absolutely book with Emilee again and highly recommend her to anyone!”

FAQs for House Sitting - South Houston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Houston on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,404 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Houston. 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 South Houston 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 South Houston 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 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!
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 South Houston. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
