“Emily was very responsive and professional. She followed my directions for caring for my bunnies and did a great job at the drop in visits. Showed up timely each day. Would recommend! Thank you Emily.”
“Wow! Patricia was amazing. She sent updates and cute photos of Bownita promptly upon each visit. These were a great reassurance. Bownita has anxiety issues and often doesn't eat or poop when her schedule was disrupted. However, Patricia had her eating and doing her "business" regularly. She even gave Bownita her eye medicine, cuddles, and playtime. I'm very impressed with Patricia's work and would have her visit Bownita anytime.”
“Olivia was great! She managed to get Mooch interested in some cuddles and very kindly cleaned up hairballs and tracked litter so I came home to a clean house and a healthy kitty.”
“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Bianca was great! She was responsible and flexible to my needs. She sent updates of the visits and communicated well. I will be using her again for future drop ins!”
“Joe has been taking great care of my dog, August. He is very thorough with his visits, leaving my pup happy and well-exercised along with a good note and some pictures so I know my dog is happy! Joe is very reliable, and my dog is noticeably happier after his visits. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!”
“Baysia was an excellent communicator who kept me updated with detailed check-ins and photos. She seemed so sweet with my pups and it was clear they were comfortable with her. She was also incredibly flexible on short notice, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“We’re so happy we found Nathalie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our kitten, but Nathalie made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She went above and beyond to take care of him, making sure he was fed, helping us clean his eyes, and giving him lots of care and attention. She also shared so many photos and videos with us, which meant a lot and made us feel connected to him while we were away. It was so sweet to see him doing well and know he was in such caring hands. We’re truly grateful to Nathalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets. We would love to book with her again! :)”
“Heaven is great!!! My kitty always looks content when I come home. She also takes great action shots of Phoebe lol. She’s a great sitter for my baby and I don’t use any other sitter anymore after going with Heaven.”

“We love and appreciate Mr. Darren so much! Stella had some tummy issues this week and he was nice enough to clean up the mess inside during his visit with Stella Wella.”
“Kayla was great with my cat and keeping me updated on her meals because I was worried that she wasn't eating enough. She sent lots of cute photos and I felt like my cat was in good hands!”
“Whitney was fantastic! My kitty warmed up to her quickly because she has a way with cats. She kept his litter box fresh and his tummy full. She played with him and made sure he had everything he needed. Plus, I got photos every day! I'm so glad I booked her and you should too!”
About: I was born and raised in Houston and have been sitting for family, friends, and other clients since I was a teenager. I’m used to working with a broad spectrum of dog breeds + dogs of all ages (not a stranger to doggy diapers and suspenders). I grew up with a pug named Chestnut who passed last year and he had such a big personality and spirit, and was a big part of my childhood. He is always in my heart and when I sit for other dogs, I give them all my love and care for them to the best of my ability 🤍! I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and their body language signaling. It is important for their health, comfort, and safety. I graduated from Texas A&M last year and I am working and saving for continuing my education. I work Monday-Thursday 9-5 and Fridays from 9-2 but outside of that I have plenty of time for your dogs needs and play time :) My days usually begin at 7:00 am. In my free time I do yoga/meditate, play guitar, and make art! I need to be briefed on a dog’s routine and usual behaviors before pet sitting at a client’s house. I like to have initial meetings while the owner is present to establish a relationship with the dog in a comfortable environment for them. During drop-ins and house sitting days, I am only responsible for the dog and no other individuals in the house. I am not a babysitter for clients that have not explicitly reached out to me for that reason. I am also not responsible for 24-hour surveillance of your property during house-sitting as I would be living there as if it was my house. I am always respectful of my surroundings and leave the house like I found it.
“Melika is so sweet and easy going! She loved on my cats so well. I felt confident leaving my cats in her care. She was very easy to contact and stay in touch with while we were out of town. I would definitely ask her to watch my cats again!”
“Rochelle was great! I had to leave out of town last minute and needed someone to let my pups out to the bathroom in the middle of the day. The dogs seemed to really like her. I'm grateful for the pictures she sent of them. :) Would definitely recommend and would use her again.”
About: Hi! 🐶💕 I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them! I enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique personality, whether they love walks, playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and administering medication. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your fur baby like family and give them all the love and care they deserve! 🐾 By day, I’m an engineer, and I’m fortunate to work from home often, which gives me added flexibility in my schedule! 🐾 I’m also a cat mom, so pet care is already part of my everyday life. I love making time for feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my availability carefully to ensure every pet receives the care, consistency, and love they deserve. 💕 I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment! 🐾 I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special needs and administering medication as instructed. I’m happy to follow your specific care instructions, provide updates and photos, and keep your home tidy. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring, reliable hands! 💕
“Patricia made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby in her care! I loved the photos and summary of how my pup was doing while I was away for work. Patricia is awesome, thank you!”
“When Lindsey came to meet the dogs for the first time, they seemed comfortable and relaxed with her. She sent pictures daily and took good care of our kids. We appreciated her care and would recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 3 years and have a golden retriever of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a former Division I college athlete, I love staying active and enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing outside, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, some playtime, or extra company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I’m currently a graduate student at Rice University, which gives me flexibility throughout the week to care for pets. I enjoy staying active and already make time every day to walk, exercise, and spend time with my own golden retriever. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits with tons of flexibility in my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for. Me and my Golden go for daily walks around different parks and the neighborhood by us. We’d love to add your dog(s) to our walks! I also would never bring my own pet into your home for drop in visits, as I understand some dogs do not like others in their homes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southside Place
Emmaline quickly jumped in to help us out without much notice. She was prompt with her responses and took time to set up a meet and greet with short notice. She arrived timely each day in order to help out with our sweet pup and left daily pictures and comments on what she did each visit. Both our pub and asphalt comfortable with Emmaline and will be definitely using her again!
Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter and was generous in her time and affection with our two cats and dog. Even the more timid ones came out to catch a pet. She did a good job keeping them fed and the house clean, and always sent over prompt updates after each of her visits to make sure we knew she stopped by.
We really enjoyed having Yuriko look after our cats while we were on vacation. She showed great care and kept us updated with lots of photos. She was attentive to detail, and took great care to follow our instructions and make sure everything was taken care of. She also watered our plants. When we returned, everything was just as we had left it. We would gladly have her visit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.
Whitney was fantastic! My kitty warmed up to her quickly because she has a way with cats. She kept his litter box fresh and his tummy full. She played with him and made sure he had everything he needed. Plus, I got photos every day! I'm so glad I booked her and you should too!
This is the second time I've booked Natalie, and the communications were very easy - just like last time. But this time I asked her to make sure our cat had taken her meds. She got it done with no problems. And when we got home, or cat had plenty of water and food and seemed to be less anxious than previous trips out of town .
We’re so happy we found Nathalie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our kitten, but Nathalie made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She went above and beyond to take care of him, making sure he was fed, helping us clean his eyes, and giving him lots of care and attention. She also shared so many photos and videos with us, which meant a lot and made us feel connected to him while we were away. It was so sweet to see him doing well and know he was in such caring hands. We’re truly grateful to Nathalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets. We would love to book with her again! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Southside Place is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 6,478 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Southside Place. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southside Place. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
