“My dogs were a little shy the first day but seemed to be excited to see Brooke the second day. She sent several pics/videos so I could see how they were. I would definitely use Brooke again if we needed a pet sitter!”
“10/10, definitely recommend Miranda! She is kind, updates frequently during the visit, treats your dog as her own and is loving and caring to fur babies! The best and cutest photos! Would book her again! Thank you again for being so sweet to my boy, spoiling him with treats/attention and taking good care of him. ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around many of my own pets as well as other peoples that I’ve cared for throughout my neighborhood. I’m not a party person nor do I have many friends. I love animals and always have. I love going on walks and just sitting outside for an hour throwing a ball. I like animals that think they’re a lap dog even if they’re bigger than me. I am a part time employee at Cocos Mexican restaurant. I can sit any day throughout the week Sunday-Saturday. Sitting does not affect my routine at all, I plan my weeks to fit sitting for pets I like to make sure that animals are fed and happy. I believe that if I want to eat and drink during the day, then surely my pet does too. I enjoy the sunlight and I’ll sit outside with your pet until they’re ready to come in. I’m not a party person nor do I like to be around a lot of people. I like my area to be clean so I can assure that when you return the house will be just as you left it if not cleaner.
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
“I will NEVER have another sitter other than Susan! She is an incredible person who took care of our MeowMeow as if he was her own. She sent lots of videos and pictures so I always knew what was going on. She is so personable and just an all around amazing choice.”
“It's a Blessing to have someone we trust to take care of our Critters. Cailey is trustworthy with our home and Babies. We can tell by the pictures that our Critters are comfortable with her. Thank you Cailey!”
“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!”
“Sarah was so amazing and patient with our 3 dogs and took great care of them while we were out of town. Over 200lbs of dogs can be intimidating, but she was a true professional and handled them flawlessly! We will absolutely be using her again!”
About: I love all animals of course! I personally have two cats and big dog myself. I have had animals of all kinds growing up and love all like they’re my own! I can’t wait to become your animals best friend😊 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their routine, constant supervision, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’ll also respect your home, follow any special instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Charlotte was absolutely amazing with our animals. They had lots of outside time and looked like they had a great time with her. Definitely will put her at the top of the list if we need a sitter again!”
“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”
About: I have been house sitting for 16 years and have loved animals my whole life. I follow pacific instructions that the owner have. I play with the dogs, cuddle with the dogs, and get very attached to all the ones I watch. I treat them as they are my own. My friends I house sit for trust me very much and fight over me when they go on Vacation at the same time. House sitting is my hobby, and I am very passionate about it because I love dogs so much. I do work Full- Time at Pathfinders during the week and have some doctors appointments, but I make sure the dogs are taking care of between my schedule. I always work them in. :)
About: I've spent my entire life around dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has always had at least one dog in the household-right now we have four-so I've experienced almost every stage of canine care. I raised my own goldendoodle, Paisle, through an extremely energetic puppy phase, and I've also cared for senior dogs, including our family cocker spaniel who faced health issues and became sensitive in his later years. I am comfortable handling both large dogs and small breeds. This lifelong, hands-on experience helps me understand each dog's unique needs and provide patient, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for multiple dogs at home. I keep a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and individual attention, so adding another pet into my routine feels natural. I’m also a full-time student, but during the summer I’m not busy with classes, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. Whether it’s daily care or weekly check-ins, I’m organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each dog’s needs and routine. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or preferred walking routes. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I’m patient with dogs who are shy, high-energy, or adjusting to a new space. I also keep communication open with frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that helps your dog feel as secure with me as they do with you.
About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

Brooke was excellent. She took the time to pet our kitties and to give them lots of love. She sent multiple pics and videos to us which we really appreciated!! She left our home very neat. Overall we had peace of mind knowing Brooke was taking care of the “kids”.
Shannon is amazing. She’s so sweet and good with my kitties. They are a tough crowd and she managed to get them to play. Shannon was so flexible. I needed to get her base access and she always showed up on time and communicated with me. Your pets will be in great hands with Shannon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Austin on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Austin. 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.
