“It was my first time using Rover and actually first time leaving my dog in the hands of a stranger. Natalie was so awesome and took such good care of our doberman Murphy. She maintain great communication throughout and even with the couple hiccups we ran into like our door pad not working, she worked with me on a solution. She was so patient and understanding. I highly recommend her!”
“Kelly was fantastic and professional as always. I feel so lucky to be able to leave my fur babies in her care and have absolute confidence that they will be in great hands until I come back.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. She lifted the anxiety of leaving my cat home alone while on our trip. Her attentive care, knowledge and experience with a variety of pets, and love for animals translated into the best sitter. I feel very lucky to find someone I can trust— highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always grown up with rescue animals in my home anywhere from 2-15 pets in the house at once! My Love for animals is bred into my blood I have a great WFH job so my hours are pretty open to help you and your fur babies out Let me know if you’d like to do a meet and greet to see if the fit is right :) I have a WFH job which allows major flexibility in my schedule so much I feel guilty for being home Let me help you and me out! I care for my animals with love and attention I do often have healthy homemade treats lots of snuggles (unless they’re not a fan) we play with our toys a lot and walks (when is not blazing hot)
About: Doggy day care! This is ideal for me, if your fur babies love to play I have one energetic medium sized pup that can play all day! I also have two seniors that like to just cuddle and play every now and then. I have a very flexible full-time job and do have at least 3 days off a week, these days alternate and I could meet the same schedule you are looking for. I usually take my dogs on a walk around the neighborhood, take them to the dog park, or just let them tire each other out. Depending on your dogs size, I will split up the daily walk. For example, if your dog is more on the large side, I will walk him/her only to give you peace of mind and avoid any incidents. Doggy boarding I am open to different size dogs, I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds. However, the dog must be crate trained. The dog will be out and playing during the day but when it is time for bed time they will be placed in a indoor crate. Doggy-visits and doggy walking I am available for doggy walking and doggy visits in Rosenberg, Richmond, Sugar land, and Stafford. I am also available for select areas of Katy. A little about me I absolutely love ALL animals, sadly I am allergic to cats so I will not board cats however I will do drop-in visits for cats since I sadly can not have one of my own. I have three dogs of my own, they are all fixed. Mia (12) she is a gentle giant senior, she will play from time to time but mostly enjoys sleeping and strolls around the neighborhood. Theo (11) small with a huge personality, he is playful and loves sun bathing. Pixel (6) Medium with sooo much energy, very friendly, loves to play and RUN! I usually take Mia and Theo for a walk, return them to the house, and then take Pixel for a run. I am able to accommodate your fur babies needs as well and will always confirm with the pets owner what they enjoy, what they dislike, etc. Please feel free to ask me any questions! I work full-time near my home. I go home for lunch and again after work at 4pm. This gives me the flexibility to walk to the dogs a couple times a day and use my doggy camera to send them treats as well. I have a fenced yard, dog gate, and crates in my home to utilize when needed. This is mostly used when the dogs are not familiar with each other.
“Joanna was amazing to work with! From the moment we met, I trusted her to come in my home and care for my sweet puppy. She is experienced and knows what she is doing, and I felt very comfortable with her. She is prompt, easy to communicate with and really cared for my dog. She will be my first phone call in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Paul enough! Watching my older pug, Baillee, with special needs was no easy task, but Paul was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, attentive, and followed every detail of her care perfectly. Getting daily photos and sweet updates put my mind at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pug! If you need a sitter who truly loves and understands senior dogs, look no further!"”
“Alex was AWESOME watching Chance and Cooper for the first time. I will definitely be using him again in the near future. He was very communicative, assertive to their needs and kept me informed about everything. Overall such a great guy!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them! As the proud owner of two cats and a Husky, I know that every pet has their own unique personality and deserves lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and love making time for pets! Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or lots of attention while you’re away, I’ll be there to provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, so I know how to care for seniors as well as special needs pets. I can also administer medications as needed. I work early mornings until 3pm, so I am available late afternoon and all evening to care for your babies. I’m available all day Friday and Saturday. I would prefer to care for your pet at your home. But I’m willing to make exceptions for small dogs to have them stay in my home. They would be crated while I am away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I provided dedicated senior care for my chocolate Labrador, Copper, who lived to the incredible age of 18. Today, I have two pit bull mixes that join me on hiking adventures throughout the year, and I even harness-trained my kitten for outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like family and understand that each has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether they're energetic or need a little extra care, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently a wedding photographer in off season and have pretty good availability during the week for pet sitting. I typically work weekends but with enough notice and special occasions I'm flexible. I have one high energy dog and one older dog. So daily walks are a must. Sometimes separate and sometimes together. Our walks are typically 1 to 2 miles. I have two friendly dogs at home but I do have smaller home and a husband with allergies. So in my own home would probably be a case by case basis. As for other people's home's I'm flexible and respectful of house rules.
“Katie and Robert did an amazing job with our babies. Made sure to check in every day and provided us updates. They were patient with Charlie as he is a shy dog. I know Charlie and the kitties would be happy to see them again for a future sittings.”
“Sophia was very attentive, kept me updated during my trip, and she was always flexible if I gave her updated instructions. She genuinely cared for my cat, and I will definitely rebook in the future ?”
“Galilea was a great sitter for our three cats while we were away on vacation! She sent us daily updates and did a great job caring for them. We'd certainly book with her again!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life, but currently own no dogs. Both my dogs died in 2025 at the age of 15 1/2. Have owned Rottweilers, beagles, Swiss Mountain dogs, redbone coonhounds, dachshunds, also small dogs. I am in good health, and responsible. I am retired from the Sugar Land Police Department. We have a large kennel, large fenced yard, large dog pool, food and water dishes and toys. We never let dogs outside without watching them. I know that dogs are more comfortable staying at home, especially older dogs, but because most people dont want strangers in their homes i usually board at my home. It would be my pleasure to care for your pet(s) in your absence. Dogs will get lots of love and attention while we watch them, and i will stay with dogs at all times when they are outside. If your dog has a favorite toy he likes to play with, i will provide exercise. Dogs can be taken to the Sugar Land Dog Park for an additional fee due to the time involved. Because I am retired, i will have plenty of time to spend with your pets and would love to spoil them just as i spoiled my own dogs. I am retired and do not have any routine responsibilities that would keep me from giving pets my full attention while under my care. Most of our dogs have been 80 to 110 pound dogs. I have a fenced yard and currently have no dogs.. Dogs will be kept in the house unless not housebroken and taken outside for potty breaks and exercise.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sugar Land is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugar Land
I would 100% recommend Kaitlyn B. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. She was very personable and easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. A bonus that made me smile was her daily updates that showed she was paying close attn to our dogs- she really captured each of their personalities and habits. I hope she is available next time we go out of town!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! Mad was a great communicator throughout the entire time she watched them, sending updates and photos that put our minds completely at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable and caring for their fur babies!
JaQuia was absolutely amazing with my dog! From start to finish, her communication was excellent, keeping me updated and giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she has a genuine passion for dogs and truly cares about their well-being. My dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend JaQuia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and caring sitter through Rover. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾
I cannot recommend Paul enough! Watching my older pug, Baillee, with special needs was no easy task, but Paul was absolutely fantastic.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sugar Land on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,596 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sugar Land. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sugar Land stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Sugar Land. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
