“Sonia is absolutely amazing. She was so attentive during the meet & greet, taking notes & everything. She took lots of photos fr& kept me updated. My pets loved her (she sat my dog & cat). I cannot recommend her highly enough. 5/5 stars!!”
“Had a great experience connecting with Joy for some weekend drop in visits for my senior chihuahua. She left detailed notes and great photos of her visits and followed all instructions perfectly. 💗”
“Valerie was incredible with my cat while I traveled. She seems to genuinely love animals and provided detailed notes that were so comforting to receive. I highly recommend Valerie.”
“Regan did an amazing job caring for my two cats for a week. She sent thoughtful updates with great photos and even got my shy cat to come out and say hi! She offered a meet-and-greet beforehand and was super responsive. 10/10 definitely would love to have her cat sit again.”
“Amelia has been so great with my 10 week old puppy! She communicates any potty mishaps or new behavior. Gets him to potty even though he doesn't like being outside in the hottest part of the day, when I have her come. Thank you!”
“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”
“Simone D is the best with my two large energetic pups!! She takes amazing care and documents everything. I try to book her whenever I can because my pups adore her and I never have to worry about them.”
“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!”
“Julia did a wonderful job keeping my cat company while I was away for 2 weeks! She was very communicative and provided check-in pictures daily. Also super convenient that she lives in my complex so highly recommend if you live in east downtown Austin!”
“Leslie was amazing! She followed my instructions to the letter and took care of my wonderful kitty 🐈⬛ I was nervous to book with her as she doesn't have a lot of reviews but I always believe in giving people chances to prove themselves. I'm definitely booking with her in the future!”
“Lilian did a fantastic job with our dog Thor! She was super sweet and always sent us the cutest pictures of them together when she would go let him out! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Zoe was very responsible and took such good care of our 2 cats. she responded quickly after every message and made everything super easy for us. we definitely recommend Zoe for any pet sitting needs:)”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog owner myself. Raising and caring for my own dog, Chunk, has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I have experience with regular walking routines, feeding schedules, and providing plenty of playtime. Whether your dog is high-energy or a laid-back senior, I know how to tailor my approach to keep them happy, healthy, and entirely comfortable while you are away. My daily routine is highly flexible, allowing me to easily incorporate pet care into my schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits throughout the week. Because I manage my own professional workload from home, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine and ensure they get the attention they need exactly when they need it. I currently live in a cozy, pet-friendly studio apartment that is perfect for dogs who need a calm and secure environment. When staying at your home or providing services, I treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure all doors and gates are fully secured. My priority is always your pet's safety, so on walks, I stay highly aware of my surroundings, avoid off-leash areas unless explicitly instructed, and keep a close eye on their comfort in the Texas heat.
About: 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and horses, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. ❤️ I take reliability seriously. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. I understand that plans can change and that life gets busy, but your pet’s care should never be something you have to worry about. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry friend is receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also a proud cat parent to a wonderful Bengal cat who is incredibly sweet and has a great personality. 🐱 Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply a dependable person to look after them, I’d love the opportunity to help! 🏡 For overnight stays at my home: Please note that your dog or cat must be comfortable around another cat, as my Bengal will be sharing the space. I’m happy to chat beforehand about your pet’s personality and needs to make sure it’s a comfortable and happy fit for everyone. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my priority. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱💕 I am employed with a full time job and go into the Downtown office Monday through Friday. Depending on where you are located, I am able to make visits during lunch. I am very respectful of someone’s home and will respect your home as I do my own and how I would like a visitor to be in my own home.

Kiersten is the best! This is the second time she has watched my cats, and they are clearly so comfortable with her. My boy cat made some messes and she helped clean them up which I appreciate SO much. The communication is great, I love all of the pics and videos! Thanks for everything!!!
Katie was amazing with my cat while I was on vacation! My cat absolutely loved her, and I felt so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. Katie visited twice a day, made sure she had fresh food and water, cleaned her litter box, played with her, and gave her plenty of attention and love. She also sent me updated photos every day, which I really appreciated and helped give me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely hire Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Joan was awesome. Was great to have someone so reliable to drop in and check on my cat. She brushed him, vacuumed, and left my trash outside which was very appreciated and above and beyond what I asked! And I could tell from her updates that my cat liked her!!
Sonia was an amazing pet sitter for our cat Dottie! She was extremely communicative, left wonderful notes, cute pictures, and just a pleasant person all-around to get to know! This was our first time using Rover and she far exceeded our expectations. We felt extremely at ease knowing Dottie was in her care and will 100% be using her as a drop in sitter in the future. Thank you so much Sonia!
Regan did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty Damien while we were away. He is old and we were worried to leave him alone for so long and she did a great job sending updates and photos to assure us he was safe and taken care of. In addition there was an issue with the key we had made for her to access the house and she was very flexible with meeting a locksmith to get a new one made while we were out of state. I really appreciate the extra time and effort she put in regarding this. Definitely would use her again to take care of our baby. Thank you!
Natalie was amazing with my cat!! She was easy to communicate with, followed all my instructions and is very trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her. I could tell she really cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make things easier for me!! Highly recommend her!!
Rebecca was great! She watched our kitty while my wife and I were gone for our wedding week. Rebecca eased my anxiety of being away from Scarlett by being on time, consistently playing with her, and ensuring me her food and water were always refilled. Would definitely recommend Rebecca to watch your animal!
Riley was incredibly communicative and showed up at the exact same time every day, so I always knew right when to expect an update. That reliability gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, the kitties absolutely loved her and were so happy in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Leslie was amazing! She followed my instructions to the letter and took care of my wonderful kitty 🐈⬛ I was nervous to book with her as she doesn't have a lot of reviews but I always believe in giving people chances to prove themselves. I'm definitely booking with her in the future!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Austin on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 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.
