“Risi was the best sitter I’ve ever experienced! She went over & beyond for my cat and my cat LOVED her. Will definitely be using her in the future & recommending her to others!”
“Monic was an amazing cat sitter, and I highly recommend her! She arrived on time for every visit, completed all of the care tasks exactly as requested, and spent quality time playing with our cats, in stead of just stopping by to refill food and water and scoop the litter box. From our very first meet and greet, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals. She was so patient and kind with our cats, and they were comfortable with her right away. It made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands while we were away. She also kept us updated throughout the visits, and coming home to a sweet handwritten note was such a thoughtful touch. It really showed how much she cares about both the pets and their owners. Thank you so much, Monic, for taking such great care of our cats! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and will definitely reach out the next time we need a sitter.”
“I hired Carole to take care of my beloved cats while I was away on a two‑week trip, and she was absolutely amazing. When I came home, my cats were happy, healthy, and incredibly well cared for. It was clear they received a lot of love and attention every single day. Carole did an excellent job with my cats during my time away. Her dedication and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. I am extremely grateful for everything she did. Without a doubt, Carole will be my go‑to person every time I need to travel and leave my babies in someone’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Karina did a wonderful job taking care of our cats again, they were happy, well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Lakesha was so nice. I hadn't updated my address so she went to the wrong place (my huge mistake!!). She was kind enough to drop in to my actual address almost immediately after I realized the error. Would love to have her help us out again. :)”
“Mari was great, she took the time to let my shy cats get use to her presence. She sent me detailed reports from every visit and helped with everything I asked. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.
“Our kitten was very well taken care of by Olha while we were away! She gave us peace of mind and was was very consistent with communication. We enjoyed the pictures and videos! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“"Highly recommend! Hannah was absolutely wonderful with my cat during my recent two-week out of town trip. She sent daily photo updates of Lulu. Will definitely be booking Hannah again!”
“Kara did a great job caring for our 3 cats twice a day. She spent time playing with them and would send pictures and videos each day. She was prompt, easy to work with, communicative and cared about the cats. I highly recommend Kara.”
“With the holiday rush, we forgot to book a cat sitter until the last minute, but we were lucky enough to get Maria! She was very responsive and professional, and she took great care of our two cats.”
“Leah is the BEST!! She took such good care of my kitties, even administered meds for one of them, and kept the litter box and eating areas so clean!! Will use her every time I can!! ❤️”
About: I have had pets since I was born! I have been taking care of them since I was able to! I love all pets and will care for them like my own! Currently working part time at a gym! I am able to check on your fur babies before and after my shifts! Or anytime day or night or both! I will travel to your home to take your dogs on walks and to go potty! I will play with them and their favorite toy! I will also cuddle and care for them like my own!
“Lexy was prompt, responsive, and communicated well. She took great care of our cat! We appreciated the pictures she took and the daily updates. We will definitely have Lexy look after our cat again. Thank you, Lexy!”
“We were so lucky to have found Marisol as a back up to our other Rover sitter. We have used her twice and have her scheduled for two more visits. She read and followed the instructions in our dogs profile and even brought in a package for us! Our dog was happy when I arrived home from work!”
About: Hi. I’m a caring and dependable pet lover in the Green Trails area in Katy who enjoys spending time with both cats and dogs. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Ihave over 20 years experience with cats and over 13 years with dogs. For my feline guests , I have a dedicated room just for cats, giving them a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I only board one cat family at a time so your cat won’t have to share a space with unfamiliar cats. Our home is full of cat lovers. With two night owls and two early birds, someone is usually awake and around at all hours, so your kitty will have plenty of company and attention. I have two cats of my own, and we also care for a sweet stray who has adopted us.Sadly our 13 year old dog recently passed so we are all cats here for now. I understand every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, play time, companionship, care while following your instructions as closely as possible. Whether you need someone to care for your cat in my home, check in on them while you’re away, spend time with your dog or take them for a walk, I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members ! I’m a homemaker with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home much of the day and already spend my time caring for my two cats Carchase and Siren and our stray cat Uma . This allows me to give visiting pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual schedule and needs. I follow each pet’s routine and care instructions closely and always make sure they are safe and secure. For boarding I provide a clean cozy comfortable space for one cat family at a time. I love walking dogs and I am happy to be able to drop in on them and kitties in their homes.

Maria is the absolute best and sweetest sitter! She always went above and beyond for my baby. This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my kitty alone for so long and I am so lucky to have had Maria take care of my baby. She always left detailed check in notes and made sure that my cat was well taken care of. I will be booking her again in the future 💕💕💕

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
