Top rated Abilene cat sitters

“Jessica was super great! She watched our cat (who’s never left our house) while we were on vacation and we couldn’t be happier. I advised her that my vet may need some personal space and she committed an entire room just for her complete with cat tree! She sent frequent photos and videos and my cat was treated like royalty for the weekend. I would recommend her if you’re looking for a place to leave someone special!”


“Our original cat sitter moved and we were nervous as to whether we’d find someone else that our cat Sasha would love as much. Hannah stepped right in filled the role beautifully. Sasha loves her! Hannah is super trustworthy and has great skills and love for your pet.”


“Adelina takes the BEST pictures of our cats when we’re away. She captures their personalities and makes us laugh! Thank you, Adelina for taking such good care of our fur babies!”


“Cece is amazing! She is prompt. She checked in every day at exactly the time she said she would be there. One day she was delayed and was quick to communicate. She sent pictures every day. Her love and kindness really made our cats feel at comfortable. We are going out of town again in a few weeks and I’ve already booked her to watch over our three cats again. Cece Is absolutely amazing! Highly, highly recommend!”


“Kelsey followed all our detailed instructions for a very spoiled cat and seemed to have enough patience to deal with him. She was punctual and dependable. I would be very happy to use her again.”


“Rosalia from day one of request had great communication and was so thankful for availability for last minute need. Came and checked on our cat and tried to get her to play even though our cat is very reluctant to. Definitely will use again hopefully.”


About: Hi! I’m Katy:) I have been a sitter for 3 years but I have had a passion for fur babies all my life. I am a Junior in college pursuing an Animal Science degree. I started training my pup back in 2021, and have gained knowledge that is very helpful when taking care of animals young/old and trying to give them the best care possible. I do have classes but not for more than 3 hours a day spread out so I can do overnights and drop ins/walks as needed! Safety is always my top priority!! I make sure to follow any and all specific instructions left by the owner to assure the health and security of all pets and owners homes. I treat every home and pet with respect and ultimately provide loving, attentive care while giving owners peace of mind that their pet and home are in good hands.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, having owned multiple pets and provided care for family and friends’ dogs. My experience includes walking, training, and feeding, ensuring each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. “I have ample free time and am deeply dedicated to providing your fur babies with the best care, attention, and experience possible, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy every day.” I have a large fenced-in yard, a spacious dog room, and three friendly fur babies. Your pets will enjoy plenty of toys, interactive activities, and various enrichment opportunities to keep them happy and engaged.

She definitely stayed longer on her visits with my cat just so he could get some human interaction and exercise. She was beyond professional! I will be booking with her again in the future.”

“Kelsey gives me peace of mind that my two dogs are well cared for. She has given them their medication and has been helpful by picking up canned dog food to mix the meds in. From the photos and videos sent, Nala and Petal love Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey!”

Emma B.
“Emma B. is one of the most dedicated and caring animal lovers I've had the pleasure of meeting. I remember her going out of her way to help me catch and return a dog that was loose on campus in the middle of the night, simply because she saw an animal in need. She chose to drive over on a school night, stand in the cold, contact animal shelters, and even considered taking in the lost dog just to make sure he’d be safe. In the time I’ve known her, Emma has assisted with handling injured cats, transporting animals to vet appointments, and has volunteered at our local animal shelter so often that she now works there. She is incredible in a crisis and treats every animal as if it were her own. Of the few people I would trust with my pets, Emma is absolutely on my list.”

Over 140 pet parents in Abilene have booked cat sitting
Abilene cat parents share their Rover experiences
I'm very glad to have booked wirh Shyla. She is wonderful and kind; we did a meeting day before the services and our dog and cat loved her since they met her. We booked drop-in visits and communicating with her while we were gone was easy and pleasant. She kept us updated every day, it gave us peace of mind to know our pets where in good hands and safe. We also have a pair of parakeets and she was happy to care for them as well, that was a relief since there's not an option on this app to include small animals. I 100% recommend her. Is not easy to let strangers into your home while you are gone, I never felt worried about her being here, on the contrary, I was happy every time I would see the notification about her starting a visit to see my pets. Thank you Shyla!

Abbie was professional, reliable, and very caring towards our fur babies. She did 3 drop-ins a day for an hour each time and made sure each of our pets got TLC. She was flexible and her response time was always prompt. We will most definitely be using Abbie in the future!
