“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”
“Olivia was amazing! She came by to feed our senior cat who only eats wet food. We also have other cats that can make things tricky since they always want that food too, but she followed our instructions perfectly and handled it with no problem. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy come into our home and care for our pets. We’ll definitely be booking with Olivia again!”
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”
“I don't know if she is just brand new to Rover because i dont see many reviews but Sara did wonderful with my 2 dogs. Ive had 4 other rover sitters watch my dogs and Sara definitely surpassed the rest. Very descriptive reports, timely visits, very helpful, and understanding of my pets needs. Highly recommend her.”
“I really appreciated the updates and how well he tended to my cat. I definitely will have him sit Miko again next time. His experience combined with the ease of communication gave me peace of mind that Miko was in good hands.”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Alex is absolutely phenomenal and goes above and beyond to care for Furbabies. She’s kept me informed, played with them, addressed their unique personalities and attended to them to make them feel more comfortable when I was away and updated me with photos and a detailed summary of the visit. This is my second time I’ve been privileged the have Alex as our sitter for several days at a time and I highly recommend her care. She even gave me suggestions of things to do when I mentioned I am trying to increase activity for them. Thanks, Alex, my cats adore you! I appreciate you so much! (She also made sure my house was locked and alarm was on— kept me up-to-date about that too.)”
“Belam was great with our two large dogs! We met in advance and walked through the house and yard with Belam. She was sweet with the dogs and they really liked her. She arrived on time, brought in our newspaper, and sent really cute photos. We will definitely use Belam in the future!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and it could not have been better! Jessica is so communicative and trustworthy. She was super accommodating for a last minute booking and did a wonderful job with my pets. Her updates were so detailed and well-done, I wasn’t worried once during my trip and was able to relax knowing my pets were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!”
“Sarah took such great care of our cat Phoebe! Daily I received texts and pictures. I definitely would use Sarah’s services again if I need a responsible caregiver for our animals.”
“I highly recommend Violeta! She was excellent, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire time she cared for my dog. I received regular updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I had questions, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, loved, and comfortable while I was away. Her professionalism, dependability, and genuine care for animals truly stand out. I would not hesitate to book with Violeta again and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Karen is an absolute treasure! She took care of our two bulldogs over Christmas, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Karen went above and beyond in every way - she kept us updated with pictures of our pups throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She also helped us out by bringing in packages, which was incredibly thoughtful. The sweetest touch was coming home to find a Christmas card she’d left for us with a pup that looked just like one of ours. It’s clear that Karen genuinely cares about the dogs in her care and treats them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter.”
“The Best Dog Sitter Ever! This was our very first time using a sitter, and we will never go back to boarding! Ericka went above and beyond every single time she cared for our pups. They were so happy and comfortable, we could tell they were being loved just like they are at home. Ericka was amazing with communication! She sent tons of pictures and videos, kept us updated after every visit, and always made us feel at ease while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible; when our flights were delayed and we had to add two last-minute visits, she responded right away and didn’t hesitate to help. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. Ericka is the real deal! We’re beyond grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Anne was very attentive of our pets, made sure they had their needs met. She went beyond what was asked, at short notice and we our very thankful to her. Thank you Anne and Rover for your help. Chad”
About: My parents bred/showed dogs all my life so I grew up with dogs in all stages of life around and also have experience training and showing. I have a 3 yr old Staffy who does agility and diving. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with your pet. Im not currently working as I am disabled but am looking for something to help me be more active. I'll have plenty of time to hang with your pet. Im available pretty much any time with some notice. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will respect your home and am big on following whatever directions you have for me for their care.
“April is the best pet sitter you could ask for. Professional, prompt and she pampers my pets. I think my pets look forward to me being out of town just so they can see her!”
“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

We love Ericka! She is the only person we trust with our 4cats! She goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken cared of and played with, leaves awesome pictures, and gives us thoughtful updates every single time. Love her and I would recommend her services to anyone!
Hollie always goes above and beyond, even when she doesn't have to. I booked a last minute check in visit for my cats, but unfortunately my smartlock was uncooperative such that Hollie couldn't get in. She did her best to cancel the day's visit and refund me. Luckily, I was able to fix the lock for her to go the following day and as usual my cats were so glad to see her! Always grateful for Hollie. I have a true gem to watch my kitties and don't know what I would do without her.
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
Olivia is the best. She did an amazing job looking after our little kitten Jasper while we were away. We were very nervous to leave him home alone for an entire week, but Olivia took excellent care of him, and made us feel like he was right there with us the entire time. She really bonded with him, played with him, made sure all his necessities were met, and did all the things he needed to feel safe, secure and loved ❤️. We recommend her to anyone who needs a cat or dog sitter and we will not hesitate to have her back again.
Karen was absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She cared for my anxious cat and really took her time to accommodate to her feeding schedule and encourage plenty of playtime. This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone for a week and Karen easily exceeded my expectations and calmed my nerves! She took her time to understand my cat and her quirks and even went out of her way to buy her treats. She also constantly updated me and sent many videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. I will most definitely be rebooking again with her in the future. My cat is safe, healthy, and happy, and it’s all thanks to Karen!😄
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Balcones Heights on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,393 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Balcones Heights. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Balcones Heights. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
