About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!
“Claudia was amazing and the communication definitely gave me a peace of mind. Especially it being the first time away from my 2 cats. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Alexandria is amazing! She is communicative and provides detail summaries about the check-ins. I appreciate her detail and constant communication, and was especially comforted knowing my dogs were in good hands!”
“Mr. Zaihyden has been a tremendous help in caring for my dogs. He consistently checks on them, walks them, and makes sure they are fed and well cared for. He is trustworthy, reliable, and dependable, giving me peace of mind whenever I am away. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
“Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Molly! This was my first time using Rover so I wasn't sure how it would go having a new person take care of her doing the drop-in visits, but she loved Ericka! I also really appreciated the notes and photo updates from each check-in. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Hollie took excellent care of my 6 cats! She was very reliable, and easy to contact. On each visit, after taking care of their needs, she petted and talked to the 3 braver and friendlier ones. I had cameras set up, so I told her not to worry about the other 3 though she did briefly see one as he raced by to hide. Hollie was great. I'll definitely ask for her again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Anne took good care of my cat Sully while I was away for the holidays! She was proactive and asked if I’d like him brushed or his nails trimmed, which was so considerate of her. She provided timely updates and was able to take care of small favors I asked from her. Sully seemed to enjoy his time with her. I recommend her as a sitter!”
“Karen is my go-to for pet sitting! Always does great. Very communicative and understands my cat very well and sends cute pictures! Thanks as always!!”
“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!”
“Samuel was proactive in learning all there is to know in taking care of Miko. He did an excellent job taking care of her evidenced by how she happy she looks in her picture updates. I’m grateful for his help and expertise. :)”
“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!!!!”
“Jessica was amazing!!! My puppy is 4 months old and gets shy around new people. She warmed up to Jessica quickly and had my puppy playing fetch 🩷 Jessica’s communication was great and I appreciated any updates. Jessica even warned me about some pecans she saw in my backyard and how dangerous they can be.”
“She was amazing. She definitely gave us comfort while away that Dexter was taken care of. She always provided updates and pictures. She even played with him which is a huge thing because Dexter doesn’t like new people. Thank you very much.”
“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.”
“Sarah did any excellent job taking care of our cats. She was very prompt with her communications and took the time to be flexible with their special needs. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”

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.

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.

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.
