“Our furkids were happy to have her care for them. They were safe, fed, everything clean. She was a blessing for our family over Easter Holiday! We are grateful for her. Will definitely use her again! We recommend her immensely!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs — whether that’s slow strolls, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m dependable, communicative, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. My goal is to build trust with both you and your furry family member. I am currently working very part time on the weekends, while also expecting a new baby boy here in November! I am free all day every weekday! While weekends are up for debate! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet on their usual routine and make sure they feel safe and secure in their familiar environment. I keep a calm, positive energy to help pets feel at ease and never rush through walks or visits. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority — whether that’s keeping them hydrated, cleaning up after them, or making sure they’re never left unsupervised outside. I also stay in touch with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi! I've had pets for as long as I can remember, I volunteer for the spca as well. I would love to help you out. I'm available at all times during the weekends and I'm mostly available during the week days after 4:30pm no later than 7:00 but feel free to message me about any special time requests I've been taking care of dogs, cats, birds, goats and even sometimes wild animals. I've grown up taking care of animals I've pet sit for family and friends many times and I love it
About: I’m studying to be an engineer and my dad has a joke that i’m coming back as a veterinarian which says a lot. Unconditional love is what dogs have and the only thing you can do with it is to give some right back to them. I love going on walks and runs even without dogs, so it’s a perfect match. I’m also pretty good at tug of war, i might let your dog win a few times. I’m currently a student at A&M Kingsville with a lot of free time between classes and i’m very flexible as far as my schedule goes. I’m always eat at home and can unsure your dog gets a meal too. I do have a medium sized crate along with some treats of my own. In my apartment complex there is a fenced in doggy area as well as a bunch of yard throughout. As stated though, i love going on walks and letting them explore the campus, and other people love giving out pets and scratches.
About: My name is Kristy I'm a major animal lover. I've volunteered at the Pasadena animal control and the houston humane society, numerous doggy daycares/boarding facilities and a vet clinic. I've always had a strong passion for working with animals. I have plenty of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas and pugs to malamutes and mastiffs. I love working will all breeds and would love to come into your home and give them the much needed love and attention while you are away. I also have many years of experience with pets with scales and arachnids. I am currently taking colleges classes, moatly online so i am almost always free.I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much and have a blessed day! I am currently a college student who takes classes, mostly online so most of my time is free. I have 2 school aged boys so during the school year, I may be unavailable around morning drop off and afternoon pick up times. I have a fully fenced 1.5 acre backyard with two gates that remain locked. I also have home cameras inside. Between myself, my husband and our children, your babies will be supervised 24/7.
“Was great with handling my dog when she was nervous and had never met Chase. Wouldnt feel more comfortable with anyone else watching my dog after that and I will be using Chase in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from puppy age to senior age. With my experience I’ve learned how to properly care for all ages & personalities. My current job I work only on weekends. During the weekdays I am home and have plenty of time to give your animal the attention and care needed. I have one female chihuahua weenie dog and one male schnauzer. Both are rescue dogs. They are crate trained and very friendly. I also have a good size backyard for a lot of playtime.
“Bre was freaking AWESOME. I had a last minute out of town trip, and Bre responded so quickly and was so willing to do whatever to help make my time away smooth. I would 100% trust her with my babies again and look forward to having her look out for them when I’m away. 100% recommend Bre she will take great care of your babies & was awesome about sending pics and communicating when she arrived/left. Thanks so much Bre!! ??”
“Jayleene was a huge relief for us going on vacation and leaving our cats. She updated us both visits when she got there. We have one cat that doesn’t really care to be social and our other one is the social butterfly. Her son came along and in the photos, he looked so happy and Mikasa was being so sweet with him. Thank you so much. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Breana took great care of our two cats while we were gone. She knew how to work with the cats, giving them attention, and attending to their needs. We really appreciate all her help as we hate to leave our sweet boys, and felt comforted to have her care for them!”
“Corey has been amazing with our puppy. We have a very young dog learning to potty train and Corey has been great, these last two weeks. Very communicative and willing to work with our schedules”
About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as I’ve always owned them. They truly are my best friend. I love them and they deserve the best care! I’m currently doing mostly just side gigs which gives me a lot of availability to be free through the week! I plan to do it as much as possible! They are treated just as humans are! Growing up they went on all of our trips with us and were always treated very well! It’s a blast having them!
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs (a maltese and a shih tzu), I also have my own 3 year old toy poodle. In high school, I walked neighbors dogs and family friends dogs of all sizes and remained reliable because I know how much we care for our fur babies. I also have experience bathing and preparing raw diet meals for dogs. If Applicable: I trained my puppy and also supported my shih tzu in his senior care, let's chat and figure out if I can meet your special need! I am currently working this job only to devote my time to our animals. I am a student but I am only out of my house for 2-4 hours at max when attending class. While I am away my pup and yours can keep each other company until I return! My apartment features a large fenced potty/play area for both of our fur babies to get lots of energy and fun time in the sun. In my house pets are family, so we cuddle on the couch together and they are a priority. Looking forward to puppy kisses, cuddles, and lots of love from me and Koko (my pup) to give to yours!
“Bria is excellent with shy and skittish dogs. My girls did not run and hide when she came by, which is highly unusual. I had no qualms about leaving my babies with Bria and if she is available next time, I’ll hire her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 112 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Van Vleck. 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 Van Vleck 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
