“Ms Aimee is wonderful. Our pets enjoy her being there and she spends time w them at each visit She does an awesome job and is great communicating w me about them”
“Dana was amazing from the time of our meet and greet and even better on the dates she took care of of our fur buddy, Cody. Dana was super friendly, pleasant, and punctual— I could set my clock by her and we felt so relieved, comfortable and confident in our choice. I don’t want to brag on her too much, as I am sure she would be too busy for us😉. We will definitely use her again and we look forward to it! Thanks Dana!”
“Madison was very flexible and helped us out last minute by providing care for our elderly dog and two kitties while we were out of town for the day. Highly recommend Madison!”
“Madison was amazing with our boys! She played with them and sent us pictures throughout the visits. They loved her so much and we would 100% rebook with Madison every single time!”
About: I have over 5 years of professional animal care experience and well over 10 in personal animal care experience ranging from raising and training litters of puppies to assisting with horses. I have had animals all my life and was raised to put their care before my own. For the last 5 years I have worked in vet clinics while in school at UGA pursuing a degree in animal biological sciences. While working in those vet clinics I have worked as both a boarder and a vet tech at a fear free clinic dealing with both calm and more aggressive animals. My duties in these positions were watering, feeding, walking, and administering medication for pets ranging from 6 months old to elderly. I am very well versed in all types of animals and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me! I am a teacher and am entering summer break so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! While I cannot house sit due to having a dog of my own I am more than happy to take time to visit your fur baby when necessary while my dog plays with my family pets at home! I provide a safe, calm, and reliable experience for pets during walks and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like my own and follow all my clients instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe. Safety is very important to me, so I always use secure leash practices, pay close attention to my surrounding during walks, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners are sure their pets are in good hands.
“Charity is highly responsible. She ensured my cat was visited and fed every day within the timeline I preferred. It is a great relief to not have to worry about anything while away. She ensured my cat was well taken care of. Thank you Charity!”
About: I’m a student at UWG, sadly I couldn’t take my dogs with me but I’m hoping rover opens up an opportunity for me to still be around animals! I have pet sit multiple times before for friends but have never signed up for an app, I’m excited to get started! I’m currently in school, but only for around 4 hours a day so I am very flexible and have plenty of time to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I will walk them through whatever routine is told to me, and be sure to play with them often. I will make sure all of the doors are locked when entering and leaving the house, and make sure all belongings stay safe.
About: I have owned dogs for as long as i can remember and have done pet sitting for anything from dogs and cats to pigs and horses. I have worked in animal rescues and in doggy day cares, i have plenty of experience walking dogs, playing with and exercising the animals, and administering medications. I also have plenty of experience with dogs over 100lbs and with dogs that are reactive. I am currently working full time as a caregiver, but I will make sure I have plenty of time to be with your pets and make sure they get plenty of cuddle and play time. I will be able to sit outside with your dogs while they're in a fenced in yard, or if walks are needed for potty breaks i can make sure collars or harnesses are well fit and avoid letting people and other animals approach your pup on a walk. I will avoid opening windows fully, or opening windows at all if there are no screens, and keep all doors locked.
About: I’ve taken of dogs for years, not only providing feeding and taking out for walks in to go potty but giving lots of love along the way I just spent the last five years professionally caring for animals, I am currently available 5-6 days a week morning, afternoon , evening and nights not only to provide bad needs but an extra level of care not everyone will give! Dogs, cats and horses are my passion and caring for them is a job I take seriously! In my home, I provide feeding (must come with food) giving water, playing and talking outside for walks and potty breaks! (Must be leash and potty trained). In clients home if they have a fenced in yard your pup will have supervised outside time to play and pee and walks included if requested, all pets will be given personal attention along with other basic needs!
“Katherine was awesome as always! She took care of my 2 cats and our chickens. She was super thorough, sent me lots of pics, and left detailed notes each day. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello my name is Gabi and I have been around at least one family dog my whole life usually 2-3! I love animals and stay very active by running at least 3 times a week and walking at least once a day. My home has plenty of room for the dogs to play and an unfenced but large backyard! I live in walking distance to the green belt with lots of trails to walk and the lake for dogs to swim. I work in Carrollton some days I am home all day some days I have to run check on projects. Either way after 4 I can spend the rest of the evening with the dogs! i can't wait to meet your furry friends! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I mostly work from home but have to go check on job sites occasionally. I can’t wait to get to know your dogs! I have a spacious home with an unfenced back yard for them to play in! Dogs are always allowed to sleep in the bed and on the couch! I live very close to the green belt with lots of trails!
About: I have been caring for dogs of all sizes, genders, types, and colors since day one. Whether it is a family member, friend, or a new acquaintance, I am always ready and willing to love on a good puppers. I love every dog I meet and enjoy experiencing each and every different personality that comes along. While I am not at a place in life to have my own dog, I want to take every opportunity to feed my pupper fever. I am part time with a lot of flexibility in my days. I have some commitments that are generally consisteng but I am able to arrange my schedule if I know about needs before the weeks starts. I will respect any needs of your personal space and make sure to clean up if there are any accidents or problems. I like to know where any cleaning supplies are so that I can do this properly.
“Rebecca was very kind, tentative, and patient with my pets. She had to orally give my cat meds 2x a day and nailed it! You can totally trust her to get the job done I would totally recommend and rebook her.”
“For me using Rover for the first time, I was pretty nervous about having someone else watch my dog. However, Colleen made it very easy to communicate and setup a good system for my dog. With her having a half hour per visit, I can tell she filled that time productively, and gave Maggie the positive energy she needed while I was gone. Colleen also sends photos confirming that Maggie ate or walked, and that allowed me to still see Maggie in action. I’m very happy with her service and how easy she was able to pull it off for Maggie.”

Paul did a wonderful job looking after my two fur babies. Even if they weren't very sociable with him! His daily reports and his pictures of them ( when he could actually find them) were very reassuring while I was away. I appreciate the peace of mind Paul gave me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 519 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Abilene. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abilene. On Rover:

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.
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.
