“Debra has watched my cats multiple times now, including when my oldest one was sick; she took good care of him until I could get back home. She's very attentive and puts their needs first, I have peace of mind leaving knowing that she will take care of them.”
“Morgan was wonderful. She had to deal with more then 10 dogs and we left her a huge cash tip. She called me when she had concerns and made sure everyone was in their place. She is very caring and looks out for them! I would recommend her!”
“Michael was so great in keeping us up to date on how our dogs were doing. We got a lot of pictures. He also did some check in appointments with our cats. We always feel comfortable leaving our pets in his care.”
“We cannot say enough good things about the care and love Alexis gave our pets. One dog can be a bit cranky and the other too overly excited. We were a little nervous for them to meet her, but they took to one another like long list best friends. Her communication and updates and pictures were more than we could’ve asked for. After day two of being out of town, we felt so at ease knowing they were in good and loving hands. Alexis has become our go to for all our care needs. Plus, the pups will need to see their new bestie as often as possible.”
“I can’t recommend Zoe enough! She took incredible care of Millie and Sadie, while I was away. From regular updates and photos to taking them for a walk. It’s such a relief to know I can trust someone so reliable, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals. Thank you so much – we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Emma is absolutely fantastic! She is so warm and friendly, my two kitties fell in love with her right away! She is super communicative and I loved all the pictures she sent of our girls! I will definitely be rebooking with her, highly recommend Emma!”
“Kristen was super communicative with us and attentive to our 3 beloved dog’s needs. We felt at ease while away traveling, knowing they were being taken care of … she regularly updated us:)”
“This is my 2nd time using Lexe and very happy with her! She was very good at sending pictures and following instructions was even thoughtful enough to bring my delivered packages in to my house while we were out of town! Will definitely use again!”
“Kimberly did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our dog and cat. Our dog was anxious, shy, and a little uncooperative the first few visits, but Kimberly was patient and after a couple of visits, our dog was excited to see her. Even our cat, who usually runs and hides when someone comes over, was staying out and letting Kimberly pet her. We will definitely be reaching out to Kimberly for future drop-in visits. She gave us peace of mind that our critters were in good hands.”
About: I know what it's like to leave your pets at home when having to work long hours and/or travel on business. I want to share my love for animals and my desire to help others that have to leave their pets due to work requirements or are taking a much needed vacation. Having a dependable person that you can trust coming into your home and taking care of your pet can be a tough decision but rest assured...I'm the one for you. I'm retired and have very flexible hours. I am available Monday thru Friday and on the weekends. I would love to take of your pet. I am able to provide love and companionship to your pet(s) while you are away from home. My goal is to provide you the peace you need to be productive at work or to truly enjoy your vacation.
“Very professional and took great care of my cats. She made sure they were well fed and played with them. Our pets were less stressed out knowing we had a caring person to look after them while we were away..I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants a great pet sitter.”
“Joy was a complete Godsend during my recent vacation when I unexpectantly became hospitalized out of state. She was amazing in that she continued to care for my pets making certain that they were safe and well taken care of. Prompt checks-ins and photos gave me peace of mind during an uncertain time. She even did extra's along the way. Will definitely be using her again when in need of a pet sitter!”
“Dianne is such a dog lover and takes such great care of my three pups, even tending to their special needs like allergies and anxiety. She also keeps me updated with pictures, videos or any other events at my house (even on major holidays). She has watched them at least three times and I will always book Dianne if she is available.”
“Amina did an awesome job with the cats!!! She took time to play with them. She has a very calm presence because one of our cats is definitely not a peoples person. She got him to come to her and let her pet him.”

Debra was amazing and I cannot have booked a better person to see after my girl. Luci and I felt comfortable with Debra immediately, and I truly felt like I had left her with a family member. This improved my mood and the overall quality of my trip significantly. 10s across the board. Thank you for everything, Debra ❤️
Jeannie was absolutely incredible! She took such great care of our sweet Creasy and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She had great communication, was attentive & caring, and kept us updated throughout our time away. We could tell Creasy was happy and well cared for when we got back. We’re so thankful we found Jeannie! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
I’m glad we found Zoe to take care of Mimi after our very recent relocation. I was very afraid to leave her alone too soon but Zoe made an incredible job taking care of Mimi. She sent pictures and played with her as well. We met Zoe before we left so I could explain to her our routine with Mimi and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely reach out to Zoe again.
I highly recommend Shelby, our dog was very happy in her care! She took care of Togo while we were traveling, and after every visit she gave us a detailed update and photos of our sweet boy. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Thanks for everything Shelby!
Morgan has taken care of my cats for the third time now, and I couldn’t be happier! She’s always reliable, caring, and great with both of them. Her daughter is also so respectful of animals and loves playing with my cats, which is so sweet. I always feel comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands!
Claudia was very responsive and communicated well before and during the period we were out of town. She was dependable and did each requesed visit around the times we had agreed upon. Our pups were well cared for and were very happy to see her. We will use Claudia again.
Maria did a fantastic job with our senior cat. He isn't most cooperative with medication but she made sure he got all his pills morning and evening. She sent pictures, videos, and updates with each visit and spent extra time with our cat. Would recommend Maria!
We’ve been using Carlie for a long time now, and she is our favorite! She’s so thorough, leaves detailed comments, and always plays with our cat and watches birds with him. Her & her son always treat our home with respect, they even got us a wedding gift! We don’t know what we’d do without her :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in The Woodlands on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,170 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across The Woodlands. 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 The Woodlands 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 The Woodlands. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
