“Rickey was attentive and great with my dog! He was communicative, asked any questions he needed if something wasn’t clear, and Bobbi Jo was well cared for when we got back!”
“Thank you! I saw your question on the tricks. I would love to teach her how to shake. I have tried a few times but it hasn’t caught on. Open to other ideas too. I am also open to ordering any toys you think would be good for her. I got one of those dog feeder snuffle mats but not something you can use when you just drop in!”
“Julia was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She was so communicative and spent extra time with my kitties. I have an elder cat and she did an amazing job administering her meds. Will definitely be hiring her again. 10/10 recommend for other cat parents!”
“Amanda is a great communicator, keeping me updated each day. My cats didn't seem too excited to see me so I know she did a great job of keeping them well-fed and happy. Will use Amanda again!”
“Sierra watched my cat Sinatra again and did such a fantastic job! She was very communicative. Sinatra loves when Sierra watches her! I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful cat sitter!”
“Brittany is incredibly responsive and attentive. She always took great pictures and left detailed summaries of her stays with my two cats. I would definitely hire her services again.”
“Thank you Katie! Chickens aren’t easy or always fun to wrangle! We appreciate your consistency and creativity getting them cooped each night and making sure they were safe. We also appreciate how communicative you were during our trip.”
“I booked with Jillian on pretty short notice, and she was great! All instructions for taking care of Frankie were followed, she administered her medication and spent ample time with her during drop ins. Frankie is a really anxious dog so it was nice to come home to her as calm as if I never left!”
“Alyxandria was absolutely wonderful. She did a wonderful job keeping me updated and took the cutest photos of my pup. I am excited to have someone so caring to call on next time I need a sitter!”
“Rico had a great time with Anna. He was well looked after and Anna followed all our guidelines such as not greeting other dogs on the walk. Rico is looking forward to seeing her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Austin
We were so happy we chose Allie to watch our cat! We had her check in for 30 minutes daily for 10 days. Allie was a great communicator and made us so happy with her updates and photos! We looked forward to the check ins every day. She made a wonderful daily routine for our cat that made us feel so much better about leaving him for an extended time. I would highly recommend Allie for your cat sitting needs and I will definitely be using Allie again in the future.
Michelle was an amazing pet sitter! She did drop-in visits for my pets and was incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about their well-being, and she kept me updated with excellent communication throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pets absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Austin on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 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.

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.
