“Santana is a very accommodating, patient, and understanding sitter! We are so grateful she made the drive to take care of our dog while we were visiting Galveston.”
“Annalise was wonderful! She watched out two dogs and cat for us for the weekend and everything went perfect. She is very friendly and did a great job of sending photos and updating us while we were away. She was very respectful to our home and the dogs seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. I e had a bad experience with someone watching our dogs for us when we are away so I was very nervous especially with one of our dogs being very anxious and having separation anxiety. She listened to our concerns and we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Thank you!! We will definitely rebook :)”
About: I have had pets since I was 10 years old 🐶🐱, so I have plenty of experience in providing the care and affection that these household treasures deserve. Every pet has unique needs and a distinct personality that require specific attention and care; throughout my journey of caring for a wide variety of pets, I have learned different care techniques and, above all, I have learned to love them and to understand just how important they are to a home. That is why your pet will be in excellent hands.🐾❤️ A pet is a family member just as important as any other, requiring more than just a few hours of your time each day. Although we may not always have as much time as we would like to spend with them, it is essential to find moments to offer your pet quality time—and, above all, the well-being and affection they deserve. That is why I always try to ensure that my own pets spend at least half the day with me. In my home, pets have access to all areas; however, they also have their own dedicated space designed for their recreation and comfort. They are even given the freedom to make mistakes and get into a bit of mischief. I have learned to arrange the space so that the area designated for them to relieve themselves remains clean and separate from where they eat and play. Guidance is always provided through gentle touch and love, with the understanding that pets are completely innocent—their only intention is to keep us company and share their love with us.

“Sherri was available on short notice and was very quick to respond to my messages. She was very sweet and the dogs loved her from the minute she came to the door. She kept me updated with texts and photos and I came home to two very happy pups!”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Tammy take care of our two dogs for five days, and we couldn’t be happier with her services. After years of holding off on vacations due to our dogs' special needs, Tammy provided us with a newfound sense of freedom. Her ability to administer injectables was a crucial factor for us, and she handled it with professionalism and care. Tammy also went above and beyond by collecting a few Amazon packages that arrived during our absence. What truly set Tammy apart were her daily updates and photos. It was so comforting to see our dogs happy and well-cared for while we were away. We can't wait to work with Tammy again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Tammy, for giving us peace of mind and allowing us to enjoy our vacation worry-free!”

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 Texas City 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 Texas City 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 Texas City 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.
