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.
About: I helped raise and train a Corgi, lived and cared for dogs as big as Malamute's and German Shepards to as small as long haired Dachshunds and Papillons. I'm in between jobs at the moment so I have plenty of time in my week to take care of your pets. Available for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I treat any space like it is my own and every pet like they are mine. A good pet setter leaves your home looking better than you had left it and your pet just as happy as you left them.

About: Hi! I'm Beth and I absolutely love animals. I have grown up owning dogs in my family and have been a professional pet sitter for the last 15 plus years. I have taken care of dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles/tortoise, and fish, some pets with medical needs such as shots or extra medications, and young foster puppies who needed extra care. As an in-home house/pet sitter, you get the added benefit of having someone trustworthy in your home making sure your belongings and home are taken care of while you are out on business, vacation, or family emergencies. I am more than happy to grant you that peace of mind. I have taken care of dogs from 7lb yorkies to 140lb rottweilers, I love them all! I'd love to be your trusted source for pet sitting. I am currently working part-time and ready to spend my extra time caring for your beloved family pets. I have reliable transportation and plenty of time available to dedicate to your family. I care for pets in their homes to increase their feeling of safety and security. I am happy to continue the schedule you already maintain with them, feeding at specific times, medications if needed and discussed, and playing with them and their favorite toys or activities.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 25 years and used to have two Yorkies and a Maltipoo — they were my babies! I naturally connect with dogs and treat every one as family. Friends often call me their dogs’ favorite pet grandma because I spoil them with love, gentle cuddles, and lots of attention. I create a calm, safe, and happy space where each pup feels understood, cared for, and truly at home. I recently moved from Ukraine to be closer to my kids and grandkids. I’m available throughout the whole week and have a very flexible schedule. Caring for dogs brings me joy, so I’m happy to spend quality time with your furry friends whenever you need — weekdays or weekends.h I have open front and back yards where I can safely walk your furry babies or take them for a relaxing stroll to the closest park. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved — just like they’re part of my own family.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover, and when my daughter decided she wanted to become a veterinarian, that love grew to include animals of all kinds. Whether your pet stays in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or joins me for a walk, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I provide a loving, comfortable environment and give each pet the attention they deserve. I also respect your home during visits and clean up after your pet. Keeping you informed matters to me, so I’ll communicate important updates or concerns promptly. My goal is to give you peace of mind and real value for your hard-earned money. Love is my language. Let me talk to your pets! I work from home, so your pet will have regular company and attention throughout the day. My routine allows time for feeding, potty breaks, play, and rest. I occasionally step out for errands, generally for no more than one to two hours. Before booking, we’ll make sure my availability fits your pet’s needs. I provide a loving home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of toys, and comfortable spaces to relax. New arrivals have time to explore and settle in at their own pace. I follow your pet’s agreed care instructions and can accommodate an established crate routine with clean, comfortable bedding. Soothing bedtime music is also an option to help them settle down.
“We love Gina taking care of our fur babies! Her summary of every visit is so comforting and great to read when we're away. She is very communicative and attentive to our pets & home.”
About: Animals are a huge part of my life, and I will treat your pet like they are my own. My priorities are keeping them safe, well cared for, and given lots of attention. As a retired firefighter, I have been tasked with helping others and will do the same for your pet! I will pick up and deliver for your pet for a $10 fee. After 10+ years of fire fighting, taking care of pets has become my full time job. 100% of my focus is on caring for your pet and ensuring they are safe and well cared for in your absence. My home is very pet-friendly. I have a backyard/deck where I can sit with your animals as they enjoy the outdoors. My yard is fenced and well-secured. I have plenty of toys/balls that I can provide your pet with exercise and stimulation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Barker is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,724 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barker. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
