About: Hi! My name is Dae, I am 28 years old and have been working in animal hospitals since I was in college. I have my bachelors in Pre-Veterinary Medicine/ Animal Science. I am comfortable with all animals. All the hospitals I have worked in had boarding facilities attached to them. I started out in the boarding side and moved my way up to being a vet tech. I am currently enrolled in school to become a licensed tech as well. Please be aware that I may not be able to do drop ins several times a day. I work 10 hour days- 4 days a week. I can house sit. I am also able to drop in for things such as nail trims for your calm cats and dogs if you’d like. I’m currently working full time 4 days a week. I get of work at 6 pm. So I would be more for the low maintenance pets. I could drop by in the morning and in the evening. My schedule changes weekly and I am off every Sunday. I can only care for your pets at your home. I am able to perform any tasks you would like me to since I have experience handling various pets with various needs.
“Peyton is an amazing sitter!! She stepped in last minute for me when my previous sitter canceled after I had already left. I appreciate her communication, photos, and extra treats and love she provided to my two goldens and great pyr. The doggos were very happy to have her watch them from all their facial expressions in the photos. I would definitely look for Peyton next time they need sitting thank you so much!”
About: I’ve always grown up around all different types of animals from dogs and cats to snakes and fish so I have had lots of practice. I have had many family members, family friends and friends of my own ask for help and I’m always so happy to do so!! I am currently taking an online class for college so I am available almost any time and any day. I cannot do Saturday’s because I live with a toddler so I stay home and visit with family on the weekend, but other than that I am free, so why not spend it with cuties!? I always keep up with the animals that are in my care I always make sure I’m paying attention to what they eat, how much they are eating, making sure they have water at all times, I make sure to take them on at least 2-3 walks a day depending on how long they are in my care! I also make sure to provide them some fun and playtime so they are not alone all day or in a kennel cooped up all day either.
“Vicki was an exceptional in-house dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. Left my dogs happy, healthy, and my home spotless. Couldn't ask for a better pet-sitting experience. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was a great communicator before and during her sit at my home. All the pets felt at home with her, and I could relax while I was away knowing they were in great hands. She also took great care of the house, and was very respectful of our space. Will definitely book again!”
About: 20+ years of dog handling and care. Including special medical needs and behavioral issues. From Potty training to obedience training, both puppies and seniors. Certified dog trainer through Petsmart. Dog care and training is what I do full time! I understand the time constraints in the corporate world and will do everything I can to accommodate your scheduling needs. I treat every pet with respect and love. I will follow all guidelines and instructions from the pet parents. I will update the pet parents with pictures.
“Kathleen was fantastic. My home was immaculate when she left. My dog was very well taken care of. She kept me informed several times a day. She sent photos and videos of the dog during the day and night. I highly recommend her and will use her again!”
About: Pet care schedule: Your baby will have 4 outside play sessions a day 6-7am 11-12pm 4-5pm 9-10pm Pet stimulations include: Water sprinkler Balls and squeaky toys Rope and tug toys Lick bowls and mats (upon approval) Teething toys for puppies Puzzles and enrichment play Flying toys (Frisbee and balls) Ball pit Your baby will take 2 walks on leash to monitor pooping and to help burn out energy. Pets are free to roam my home and yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed Pets are allowed to sleep where they are most comfortable If you are requesting a meet and greet, please understand meet and greets must take place at my residence where your baby is being kept, because I must remain present for pets I am sitting ❤️. Pet owners will receive picture or video updates about their fur baby a minimum of twice a day unless there is a special request. A little about me: Animal care runs deeply in my family. I come from generations of farmers and veterinary professionals, including uncle whose pioneering contributions to veterinary medicine were honored by Tuskegee Institute. I was taught from an early age how to care for animals. I enjoy spoiling and treating my fur babies like my own children (because they are lol). I lived on a farm for most of my life and have cared for animals my entire life. I own a mini poodle, named Zoe, who loves playing with other dogs. Zoe and I enjoy dog parks, doggie pools, visiting doggie bakeries to try new treats, playing catch and tug of war, doggie walks, play dates with other dogs, and cuddle time while watching a great movie. My dog is my best friend. Zoe’s health and happiness is important to me, and it is equally important to me to ensure your fur baby is cared for with the same quality of time, effort and love. I believe in being flexible and accommodating for the familes i serve. When caring for your pet, I provide daily updates (photo/video) and stay in close communication so parents can feel comfortable and connected while they are away. When available, i also enjoy sending pups home with special treats. In my care, your pup will enjoy daily walks, up to 4 outdoor play sessions a day, water play (with doggie sprinkler or doggie pool), access to roam a large fenced back yard, the company and friendship of other dogs, daily treats and snacks (at the approval of the owner), doggie day care shows on a movie projector, and all the cuddles and love they need while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby ❤️. Me and my husband alternate being home so your baby will have consistent presence to attend to their needs. In addition, i have cameras in my home that allow me to monitor pet activity 24/7. I believe in keeping pets safe, comfortable and well entertained. As mentioned, fur babies are provided potty breaks every 2-4 hours starting at 6am. Pups are given 3-4 play sessions outside in the fenced yard. Pets are free fed or fed on a schedule at the parent's request. Pets who do not get along with other pets are separated to ensure a safe environment. Pets who are not potty trained are encouraged to arrive with wraps or diapers to help maintain a safe and clean environment. Pet parents are asked to communicate if their baby have any history of aggression, toy possession, or anxiety so that I can ensure the comfort and safety of all pets.
“LOVED! Was the first time I’ve used Courtney or anyone out side of family in years and I felt comfortable since day one and the pictures of my boys smiling throughout the whole stay just made it better! Will absolutely reach out to Courtney for my future needs”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Roxi! She took such incredible care of our furbabies and our flock while we were out of town. Knowing they were in her hands gave us such peace of mind. Roxi cared for our animals and our home as if they were her very own. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s such a special feeling to find someone you can completely trust with the things that mean the most to you. Roxi is truly a wonderful soul, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We came home to happy babies and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Roxi again for our next out-of-town trip and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. ❤️🐾🐔”
“We used Shanna to housesit our two doggos (a senior 85 lb healer mix and a young 15 lb poodle mix). Shanna was so easy to work with and kept us updated with pics and details of their time together. She went above and beyond and it gave us such wonderful peace of mind knowing our pups were in her care. We’ll absolutely be using Shanna again the next time we need to travel out of town for a few days.”
“Jordyn did an amazing job with our 4 German Shepherds! She sent us lots of pictures and was very communicative! The dogs definitely missed her once she left! Definitely recommend her and will book with her again!”
“Ashley took the best care of our three babies (two cats and one dog) while we were out of town. She is super easygoing, sent us plenty of photos and updates, everyone was very happy when we got home and the house was in a spotless condition. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have helped my mother in the past babysitting and taking care of dogs so I am sure I have the ability to do the same on my own. I am currently not working; taking a little break so I have all the time in the world to help out you and your pets! Making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. Take them on many walks, play with their toys, and lots of head rubs and head pats!
“Tory has been such a blessing to our family. She kept in touch while we were gone with fun updates and gave our pets perfect care. We are excited to have her back and value her service. We highly recommend her.”
“Ariel was great with Gemma for the long weekend I was away. She even stayed longer on the last day when my flight was delayed. I hope she will watch Gemma all the time!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for animals and their overall well being. I have been the designated pet sitter and care taker for my family and friends for over 10 years. I enjoy all breeds of dogs and especially enjoy high energy dogs that love to play. When your pets are with me you can trust they will have a scheduled day with however many walks and meals they require. I have a designated play room for pets and will only crate them upon your requests. I currently work from home part time and have more then enough free time to keep your loved ones entertained and comfy. I take all my dogs on morning and afternoon walks during the winter I try to plan accordingly with the weather. You can trust your pet will be safe as I have a designated play area away from anything that could harm them or objects they should chew on. If you prefer I come to your house I ensure the pet is safe by following your care guidelines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home several days a week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddle time throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised play, a designated indoor play area, and a nearby dog park for extra exercise if approved by you. My home is clean, pet friendly, and free of hazards. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and will always let you know if I have any questions or concerns during their stay.

The average cost of House Sitting in Splendora is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $64 per night.

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 Splendora 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 Splendora 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 Splendora 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Splendora. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
