About: I’ve had several pets over my entire life, and truly believe a pet makes a home. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and want to expand my care to your fur babies. I am only focused on cat-sitting 🐈‍⬛!! I have experience taking care of kitties, adult cats, and cats who require medication on a schedule. I am no stranger to a dirty litter box and will make sure that your cats have a clean space to do their business; sicknesses in cats can be caught early in the litter box so i’ll be very attentive to any abnormalities. *My calendar is updated frequently. My schedule is flexible and can be adjusted to your pet care needs, please reach out for any questions!! I have an open schedule, for weekdays and weekends. I am also available during holiday season. I have online college classes, but they do not require me to show up in person meaning I can be with your pets anytime! All cats are different, and their owners know them best, so I will follow your instructions and take care of your kitties the way you would! I will be respectful of you and your cat's home and will prioritize respecting your kitties' boundaries to hopefully establish a strong connection with them.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors by walking, feeding, bathing, and spending quality time with their dogs. Recently, I’ve been pet sitting more consistently for friends, building strong trust with both pets and their owners. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety, so I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s unique needs. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pup and I’m generally available Monday-Saturday from 8 am-8 pm. I respect your dog’s needs first and foremost but especially your personal boundaries as the homeowner. I’ve babysat in many client’s houses before and know the importance of respecting the environment. Please let me know your rules and requirements and I’m happy to adhere by them as I care for your pup!

About: Hi! I’m Emily, I have worked with animals for 6 years. I had worked at an animal shelter as a trainer, moving on to a board and train facility. Afterwards, I dabbled into pet grooming and now I am a vet tech! I wanted to share that I'm currently working from home. I'm available every day during the week, and I try to balance my work with an active lifestyle. It's important for me to stay engaged and maintain a healthy routine while caring for animals and pets. I currently reside in a welcoming motel that offers a safe and spacious outdoor area where dogs can enjoy some fresh air on a leash. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, so I also take my time to visit sniff spots if needed. Inside my room, I create a stress-free atmosphere that’s quite roomy, with my two dogs who are crate trained, ready to provide a calming presence for other dogs that might feel a bit anxious around others. My goal is to ensure that every dog feels secure and at ease during their stay.

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.

About: I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked in a veterinary clinic and am comfortable with medication administration, senior pets, puppies, kittens, and pets that may be shy, nervous, or require extra patience. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently live with one friendly dog and one cat. My cat stays in my room and can be kept separate from visiting pets when needed. Visiting dogs have access to a secure wrap-around backyard with cameras and a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed. I also have space available for a kennel if your pet is crate-trained or prefers their own quiet space. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I'll treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, playtime, and attention. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding, and I provide regular updates and photos throughout each booking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: I genuinely treat every dog like my best friend. Full of the upmost love, care, and fun. Your pup isn’t just a pet, they’re family! As a college student with online classes, I love spending my free time with dogs. I have two beautiful huskies of my own back home, so caring for new pups brings me joy every day. I provide personalized care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I feed, walk, and play with dogs according to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I also many send updates, photos, and videos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - South Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Houston is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,410 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Houston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 88% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
