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.
“I was so happy to have Leah stop in and take care of our pups. She met them ahead of time and made sure she understood what we needed done. We hired her at the last minute and she was very flexible. One of our dogs is super scared of everyone and she did great with Leah! I will definitely hire again without hesitation.”
“Excellent. Booked Kellyn for drop in visits for our cat while out of town. She was communicative about when she would be dropping in and followed our instructions on what we needed. Will book again.”
“We had Leila check in on our cats while we were out of town and she is awesome! Very good communication throughout everything and followed all of our instructions to a T. She is awesome! Will definitely book with her again!”
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!
“Maria has been a fantastic sitter for our cat! She sent us photos/videos from every visit, made sure he had some play time, and even managed to apply some eye drops when he needed them. We will definitely be booking Maria again when we next go on vacation!”
“Carole was so kind and personable. She’s very detailed, friendly and asked great questions during our first meeting. I know our dog was in great hands. Carole was able to work with us on short notice and helped keep our older dog busy & entertained on his first solo stay. He was very happy and well cared for.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barker
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!

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.
