“Aimee is amazing! She takes such great care of our pets and always keeps us updated so we can relax while we’re away. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I am a long time pet owner with hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone else's care. I currently have two pets of my own and I am very attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs. I have experience with daily care tasks such as feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, brushing, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra patients, including senior pets, shy cats, and animals who prefer calm, consistent care. I approach pet sittign the way I would want someone to care for my own pets. What sets me apart is my calm, dependable approach and strong focus on trust. I'm organized, communicative, and respectful of both pets and homes. I currently work full time during the day Monday-Friday. I offer pet sitting services such as check ins before and after work on weekdays. I also will consider overnight house/pet sitting in the local area through the week. I am willing to do overnight house/pet sitting at greater distances on Friday and Saturday nights. I don't rush visits, and I take time to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I'm especially mindful of routines and instructions, and I provide updates so owners feel reassured while they're away. I work best with clients who value reliability, clear expectations, and thoughtful care over a one-size-fits-all approach.
“Corin was great! She stopped by the house two times per day for a week to feed and walk our two dogs. She was always on time, left detailed reports and stayed in close communication. She even made time to visit before the booking for a meet and greet. I would definitely rebook and recommend for anyone else in need of services!”
“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!”

I would love to look after your little ones and give them lots of love and attention! My work schedule fluctuates, but shoot me a text to see if I am available! I can take same day bookings on occasion as well. :) I am working part-time, but eventually hoping to work a little more. My schedule does fluctuate, but don't hesitate to reach out!

“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’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 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.

I will work around your schedule because I know how important our babies mean to us. I have experience in caring for special needs animals, for example, my baby Winston who is now 4 years old has had eye removal surgery and I have cared for him throughout and after surgery. At the moment; this is my Full-time job, so that gives me flexibility to work around your schedule and your needs.

“Sydney is truly the best at what she does! If my dogs were leaving this review they’d tell you that she is an extended member of our family and you would think they’ve known her all of their lives. 20 out of 10”
“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 have been around animal care since I was born. I have six dogs of my own, ranging from a Husky all the way down to a Maltese. I have a real passion for animals and love to take care of them. I often help out with neighbors and friends to pet sit while out of town or for a quick potty break if needed. I’m currently starting my Master’s program in August with university of west Georgia. Outside of my classes, I have free time that does not always allow for a full time job, but just enough for pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and daily routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes on all walks unless you’ve instructed otherwise in a secure area, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind.
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 surrounded by animals my whole life. Throughout college and after, I have had two dogs and two cats of my own. One of my past job experiences is as a vet tech so I have a bit of handling/caring for all types of animals. I currently have a senior doggie so I am able to provide senior dog (or cat) care if needed as I know having older dogs requires more patience and understanding (which should be regardless of any age) due to it being hard to get up and move around than the younger babies. I will go over and beyond to make sure your fur baby (or babies) are comfortable with me as they normally are with you! I am in my 2nd year of medical school and currently studying at home for a couple exams so can easily make time to care for your baby as a drop in or while staying in my home with my dog, Pixie. I have a fenced in yard and large single family home which I have one room that is completely empty that could be ”the fur baby(ies) room” if need be. I can also bring my study stuff over to spend the day studying and playing with your baby in their own safe environment, but will need to run home occasionally to take care of my own dog, Pixie.

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 August 2026, there are 515 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.

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.
