“Allison was wonderful! I will definitely use her services in the future. I loved getting pictures of my babies while I was away too because I miss them tons when I’m gone.”
“Kate was able to come last minute for a drop in visit and was truly a life saver! She played with our 2.5 year old yellow lab, followed our instructions well, and our dog was well cared for. We super appreciate you looking after our pup!”
“Thanks for the awesome report card Jeanette, it made me laugh out loud! Percy can be stubborn so I appreciate your extra effort to take care of him :) we appreciate your visit and helping out on such short notice. Have an awesome day!”
“Trula has been a blessing for Percy and I! I work long shifts so having Trula available to dropin on Percy for his bathroom breaks and some scratches/loves has been amazing and we are so grateful! I appreciate the pictures and videos Trula sends during her visits and the report cards after are very helpful and informative. Trula is great at communicating what Percy needs or what she needs to better care for him. Long story short, if you're looking for someone to care for your pet and she's available, pick Trula!!!”
About: I’m a mature lady with a can do attitude. We have had dogs and cats (and a variety of other critters) in our home through the decades. Nothing better than bringing your dog along for that countryside hike/trail walk. At one with nature. I do have the attitude that I’m the boss on the walk and our dogs are part of the pack. I like it best when our dogs have opportunity to be off leash. Not that will happen with your dog unless we find a dedicated off leash park and permission from you. I offer dog walking and pet visits in your home and boarding at my home BOARDING. I require to use a crate at times I’m gone as I live with my disabled adult daughter and care staff. I don’t mind the weather unless it is exceptionally hot or cold for your pet. I’ve got all weather gear! I am available most weekdays from 8am-ish (depending on travel time). I can do some weekend walks depending on length of notice. (my other job is a carer to a person with disabilities) I have a fenced in yard). Crating is an option should any fur baby feel the need to 'get away'. (Our own dog passed over the rainbow bridge in May) I require a meet and greet with new clients prior to accepting a new client. I just want to make sure we’re a good fit all around. This is best done 48-72 hours prior to any booking. A boarding client gets at least two walks a day as well as plenty of yard time if they desire. We have a good sized fenced yard. If I’m gone, your dog will be crated for a short while in a comfy spot. I consider crates as a sanctuary/ a place of safety for your fur baby. I am returning to Rover after some medical issues that needed my full attention. I am now easing back into care services. I am available for the odd walk. I am NOT available for regular daily/weekly scheduled walks. Dog care is part of my regular activities which include yoga, tai chi, volunteer work and care for my adult daughter. Pets in my care enjoy plenty of outdoor time and typically two walks in the daylight hours. They may accompany me on my own appointments when they are pet friendly. I prefer only one pet at a time, but will consider two from same family.
“Heather is amazing! She gave us strong peace of mind during our vacation as we knew our sweet Luther was in good hands. Heather was attentive and followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our cat had lots of play time and got attention while we were away. On top of that, Heather was so communicative and responded quickly to our messages. Def hiring Heather again!!”
“I have asked for Erich’s help watching my cat Yoko several times now, he is fantastic! Really great communication and is willing to help on short notice. Most importantly he takes great care of Yoko. Truly one of the best rover sitters I’ve ever used.”
“I would rebook with Kat. She took good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. She followed our overly complicated feeding instructions and sent pictures of them eating and a few of them hanging out. One of the weekend days she definitely fed them all breakfast closer to lunchtime, but I still felt like they were in good hands, and in her defense I had expressed some flexibility in their feeding time. She also went out of her way to set our cat camera back up after the cats knocked it over so we could continue spying on one of their favorite hangout spots. Cats were happy and healthy when I got back.”
About: I love animals, they just fill my heart! I have had a cat and two dogs of my own and also grew up always having animals! My first puppy was Fenway. I got him at 9 weeks and did all of the training and loving with my pup! Dylan was 3 when we adopted him and he was the best 110lb lap dog! Being able to give your pets love and exercise when you’re in need will fill my heart! I am a substitute teacher and a mom. I am looking for work this summer and ongoing with your furry babies! I love going on walks and playing with animals. I am available to house sit with your animals if you are needing to be away, while keeping them company and caring for them! Making sure your pet is comfortable and safe is #1! Depending on the age and ability of the dog depends on our walks and play time! I follow your instructions for your dog because you know them best! Cats get lots of snuggles, if they like that, as well as play time!
“Christina did a great job with my cats. She was responsible, on time, and got cute pictures of them, even though they hide a lot. I hired her during a stressful time, and she was compassionate and friendly to me and my family.”
About: Hi my name is Moira, I am 31 years old, and I am from London, England. I have taken care of dogs my whole life, but unfortunately my boxer stayed with the family in England. I work part time so try to enjoy being outside as much as I can and what better way to do that than with a furry friend! I like to keep active with dogs and love forming a good bond. I stick to schedules very efficiently and love communicating with the owners to make sure your pup gets its full experience. I have dog sat for many friends in Houston and have walked many dogs for them and for other dog walking companies. I hope to take care of your fur babies and show them lots of love!

About: Hello, my name is Terra and I am excited to be able to help you out with your fur baby! I have prior experience as a professional dog Walker throughout high school as well as having my own dogs for seven years. I work at one of the local children's hospitals so I have rotating shift availability but I am dedicated to making your family a priority. I am a passionate advocate of animal rights and have the utmost compassion for our furry friends. I am college educated and graduated from Portland State University in 2015. I have experience with giant breeds, cats and tiny guys. I have my own car and license so I can book at short notice if needed. I am a current foster for ODR. I am free three weekends out of the month as well as Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays since I work a rotation in the hospital my schedule isn't always the same. I do my best to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and at ease in their own home. My goal is to make it feel like you never left by providing all of their creature comforts and treating them just as you would. Going for regular walks and potty breaks as well as engaging and entertaining your pet is a priority.
About: I'm a positive reinforcement–based dog trainer. If you're working on training with your dog, I'm happy to reinforce those skills while you're away to help maintain the progress you've made. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, as well as dogs that may need a little extra patience or understanding. Every dog is different, and I think their care should reflect that. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which makes it easy to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of times for either one-time visits or something more regular. My goal is to stick to your dog's normal schedule and routines as closely as possible. Just let me know what that looks like, and I'll make it happen. When I'm in your home, I follow the Scout motto: "Leave it better than you found it." I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all sizes all my life. I can take your pals for walks, jogs, runs or even hikes! While always keeping safety in mind. I currently have a completely open schedule to walk and hangout with your furry friends. I do have a dog of my own that I also take out for walks throughout the day. I will always be respectful of your home when talking your dog or dogs out. And will keep not only mine but your dogs safety as a top priority. I am more than happy to cater to your dogs needs.

Another successful vacation knowing our cat was in good hands with Jeanette. We can't recommend her enough. She is always quick to communicate and I love the updates she sends about about our cat while we're gone. If you need a trustworthy and caring sitter, she's the one!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,561 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Barlow. 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 Barlow. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
