“Kendall was great! She spent a lot of time with my pups which gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. I came home to two happy pups and I would definitely use Kendall again!”
“Jennifer was great! She kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time I was away. She was very friendly and reliable. Seeing her interact with my dog at the meet and greet made it very clear that she enjoys what she does!”
“Deanna was very kind to our little kitties while we were out of the state. Before we left, Juniper showed signs of an upper respiratory illness which required medication. Deanna was willing to learn how to administer the medicine at the proper time and dosage which eased our worries while we were gone. Being that it was our first trip away from our new cat, Silvan, we were happy to see lots of pictures of the cats getting along with each other. She was a considerate guest, cleaned up after herself before departing, and took the time to take our bins to the curb for the weekly trash pick-up. Overall we would recommend her to anyone in need of cat care in the area. Thanks, Deanna!”
“Jill was such a blessing to me when I went out of the country for six days and had to leave my two babies behind. She showed up on time, took her job seriously and sent frequent photos and updates to ease my mind. I work from home so my pups are used to having people around most of the day and Jill was one of the few sitters I talked with who was happy to spend a lot of time with them so they were rarely alone. She kept them, fed, gave my older dog his heart medicine and provided enough love so I came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. And best of all, I was able to enjoy some time away knowing they were in good hands.”
“Tim was great! My dogs can be particular about new people, but you can tell they were very comfortable with him. He communicated very well and spent great time with them. I will be using Tim again!”
“Des is always there when I need her - extremely loving and professional. Onyx trusts her so much and he’s always happy with her! I never have to worry about leaving my boy in her care. She will always be my go-to. If you’re looking for a sitter for your fur baby, she is definitely the one. Thank you Des 💗”
“Lily has watched my dogs twice so far and we will definitely book again! Both of my dogs have had wounds/injuries she has dog sat and she took great care of them!”
“Andrew was an outstanding sitter. He watched Duke and Dutch while I was on a night shift making sure they were walked and fed. My dogs had a great time and enjoyed the company.”
“Ellie did a great job taking care of our older dog and very quickly they got used to each other!! Ellie touched base with me on a daily basis and sent lots of pictures at the end of the day as requested!! We will definitely book Ellie in the future and highly recommend her!!”
“Geneva looked after my cat Crossaint for a full three weeks, staying with her at my home. Never once during the three weeks did I feel like I needed to check in with Geneva or worry about Croissiant! Geneva is FANTASTIC! Super communicative, very reliable and extremely considerate of your needs. Book Geneva without any hesitation - she is AMAZING!”
“This is the second time we used Dani to stay in our apartment and take care of our dogs. She is very responsible and I am confident our boys are in great hands.We already have it planned for Dani to stay again when we are away.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs any size , and personality ! I truly enjoy walking so adding a pup in the mix makes the walk worthwhile!

If you need extra assistance I’m your girl here to help! I have a friendly dog who’s always chill but ready to play! Dog sitting is a bonus way to socialize him! (If the owner allows)
“Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!”
“Jayla was awesome! She picked up our booking on super short notice when our other sitter cancelled on us at the very last minute. She took fantastic care of the dogs and was extremely graceful and responsive when our dog had a health emergency. She left the house even cleaner than she found it. 10/10. Would certainly recommend!”
“Jasmeen did a great job watching after my older dog and they clearly got along great! I returned to a happy and healthy dog and watered plants. I will definitely book again.”
“Gladiola was great! Very communicative, reliable, and great with my cat and dog. I got loads of pictures, regular updates, and both pets were well taken care of. I'd be happy to have her petsit again next time I'm out of town.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southside Place
Natalie was truly amazing! So caring and sweet with my dog and cat. Responsible, on time and so smart!! I will definitely keep calling her and hopefully she’ll always be the one caring for my pets. She gave me so much peace of mind and my pets seemed very happy when I returned!
Ellie is GREAT! She is super communicative, sent lots of pictures and videos, and was very patient with my two dogs for her weekend stay with them. One is a little nervous around people, and Ellie was very sweet with him and got him to open up and trust her. Would recommend to anyone and will def book again!
Baysia gave excellent care to my cat and was able to step in at the last minute when I had to go out of town for the week. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and was very communicative, sending pictures and videos everyday. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets.
Lauren did a great job. She was super attentive to all of our animals and they loved her. Moving forward we can’t imagine using anyone else ever again. Usually when we come home our dogs are restless, this time around it was the exact opposite. She took them out on schedule and played with all of them regularly to keep them stimulated. If you need a sitter who truly loves animals, book Lauren, you won’t regret it.
Shirav took care of my cat for a week, and I really loved her help! She made an effort to find the right approach to my cat, and she absolutely succeeded. I’m sure my cat was happy while I was away. She also sent me lots of photos and videos, which was very reassuring and helpful. I would definitely recommend Shirav as a cat sitter, and I’ll definitely book her again in the future!
Angelica was a dream sitter. She texted every day with updates, some days multiple times, just to set our minds and hearts at ease. We have two dogs with disparate temperaments and needs and she really nailed it with both of them -- keeping our high-energy 1-year-old blue heeler-mix on the move while letting our skittish pug-mix warm up slooowly. In the past I've had sitters who never made any connection or progress with our pug-mix during a 10 day stay away and I was really grateful to Angelica for being patient while still building a bond (not just giving up/being passive). We came home to our house just as we left it and she even picked up some. We are really grateful for her and would absolutely book her again.
We had an amazing experience with Sarah. She took excellent care of our precious pets, making sure they had daily walks and hugs and special treats. In addition, Sarah helped us so much by watering our container plants daily to keep them alive in the Houston heat. On a special note, when I had to undergo an emergency appendectomy while on vacation, Sarah was wonderfully compassionate and reassuring. She provided daily updates with photos and constantly reassured us that there was nothing to worry about at home and to just focus on healing from my health Emergency. We will definitely book Sarah for future trips and would recommend that you do too. Thank you Sarah!
Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Southside Place
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southside Place on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,979 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southside Place. 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 Southside Place 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 Southside Place 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 Southside Place 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
