“Carrie took such great care of Penelope! I really appreciated her attention-to-detail and excellent communication. She made it a priority to play with her during her visits, which was much appreciated. Carrie is highly experienced, and so I felt relaxed leaving town knowing that my cat was in such good hands.”
About: Howdy! I’m an 11th generation Texan. I already have much experience working with clients. I have worked for WAG! in Austin, TX. I have two older boys in the Colorado River Collegiate College in Bastrop. I now live and run Rumfield Electric LLC with my husband in Bastrop. We are members of The Bastrop Chamber of Commerce. I have 20 years experience with owning my own dogs (2 Pit Bulls & Chihuahua) and have a couple of years work experience at a pet store in Austin caring for fresh and salt water fish, rabbits, rats, and lizards. I also have years of experience with exotic birds, farm ducks, and chickens. I own 2 pit bulls and lab Rot mix. I am a Certified and Registered Pharmacy Tech with the State of Texas with pet med knowledge. My ultimate goal is to help stop dog homelessness. I work part-time for my husband’s electrical company. I'm available everyday except Sunday mornings until 1p. I love to run with your dog if that's what they need. I can feed, replenish water, clean bowls, and give treats or even baths by request. Brush your dog's coat and teeth. Wash and dry beds or towels. Give pet meds. Do some light shopping for the dog or you! Vet trips if needed. I'm basically looking for long time clients. I pay close attention to detail and strive to follow any requests and directions with complete care. I’m always in communication with my clients and I am available for my clients to reach me day or night.
About: Growing up in the country, I have grown up with all sorts of animals (dogs, cat, rabbit, cows, longhorns). However, dogs have been the animal with me throughout my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was 6 and have had 3-10 dogs at a time since then! Needless to say, I'm definitely a dog person. I have experience feeding, walking, and washing dogs, and can do some basic self-taught training (sitting, down, shake). I also have house-sat and pet-sit for some family friends' and my friends' parents on several occasions. My house is full of animal love. I have a 3-year-old Plott hound mix (named Nova), a 4-year-old German Shepard (named Goose), and a 8 month old cat (named Ary). They all have their own special quirks, but are so funny and love running and playing! Nova is very food motivated and loves to run in circles and play in water, Goose is very toy motivated and could play frisbee for hours without a break if we let him, and Ary is the definition of a "lap cat" but loves being our pest control when she see an bug. I hope you give me the chance to give your fur babies some extra love and attention! I'm a full-time social worker! I can provide overnight visits whenever, but walking and drop-ins are only available on weekends and then during school scheduled breaks (my availability will reflect it)! In my home, one of my dogs is crated due to her liking to get in the trash. So, I am easily able to crate your dog if necessary and of course feed, water, play, and walk them as needed! Also, more than willing to send you pictures of your dogs throughout the visit if that's something you want :)
“We liked Ashleigh the moment we met her. She loves and understands cats and is very professional. One of our cats is special needs and she was very conscientious in caring both for him and for our other cat. The peace of mind was a great blessing. We highly recommend Ashleigh’s care.”
“Jeannie was dependable, and loved cats! She met me at my home to pick-up the jeys and see my pets before the scheduled visit. I felt completely confident in trusting her to feed and water my 3 cats. She actually wanted to plan on time to visit with them, but I warned her they weren't going to allow her to even get close to them! On the scheduled feeding day, she was actually able to snap a few pictures of one of them before they slipped out the cat door. Once I returned home, their food and water bowls were still full, so I know she fed and watered them. Thanks Jeannie for taking care of my sweetheart's!”

“Valerie was incredible with my cat while I traveled. She seems to genuinely love animals and provided detailed notes that were so comforting to receive. I highly recommend Valerie.”
“Remington was so fast and responsive to our request even it being last minute. He was communicative when we were gone with photos of our Binx and Bubbles on how they were doing. Super nice person will definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him!”
“Carina was terrific with our very needy, sociable cat. She was utterly reliable and thorough, left great “report cards” and even noticed a small scar on Meeko’s nose. She checked with me to find out if it was new or old—it was old and not a concern, but I so appreciated her observation skills! We will use her again when we travel this fall and can highly recommend her as a wonderful cat sitter.”

“Emily is absolutely amazing! She is a true professional and great communicator who gave extensive updates and photos during the visit.

Finding someone you trust with your pets can feel stressful, and my goal is to make that process easier by providing safe, reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary technician-level experience and skills. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, giving me years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, following detailed instructions, and maintaining their individual routines while their families are away. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and medical needs—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior, anxious, recovering, and special-needs pets requiring additional attention. My veterinary background and technician-level experience include: • Oral and injectable medication administration • Subcutaneous fluid administration • Diabetic and special-needs care • Senior pet care • Post-surgical and recovery care • Monitoring changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health • Caring for pets with anxiety or specialized routines • Following detailed medical and household care instructions • Fear-free handling techniques and low-stress approaches 🐾 Experienced With Nervous, Senior & Special Needs Pets 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding and respecting that. I especially enjoy working with pets who may need a little extra time, patience, or specialized attention. Whether your pet is shy, nervous, anxious, elderly, recovering, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on building trust, maintaining their normal routine, creating a calm environment, and helping them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 • Regular updates and photos • Careful attention to your instructions and routines • Patient, compassionate, and individualized care • Enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention • Knowledgeable care backed by hands-on veterinary experience • Someone who treats your pets like family 🐾 Additional Services I Offer 🐾 • Nail trims • Baths and basic grooming • Ear cleaning • Litter box care • Medication assistance • Poop scooping • Additional care needs upon request I’m also comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including unique pets, exotics, and large animals.

With my Certified Veterinary Assistant background, technician-level experience, years of pet-sitting experience, and genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide both knowledgeable and loving care. Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love doing. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. I currently provide care in your home because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. Staying home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or have special needs. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully review each booking and care plan to make sure I can safely and appropriately meet their needs. I will always follow your care and safety instructions carefully and will never leave pets unattended outdoors. While caring for your pets, I love keeping them happy and engaged with activities appropriate for their personalities and abilities. This may include neighborhood walks, fetch, favorite toys, enrichment activities, lick mats, puzzle toys, training refreshers, or simply spending quality time together. If I need to step away for errands or other responsibilities, I will make sure your pets’ needs and agreed-upon schedule are taken care of. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant with technician-level experience and a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into allowing someone to care for your animals and enter your home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bastrop
Jessica is truly the best cat sitter we could ask for. She consistently goes above and beyond every single time she cares for our cats. Not only does she make sure they are fed, comfortable, and well taken care of, but she also pays attention to all the little details that give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She sends thoughtful updates, keeps us in the loop, and treats our home with so much care and respect. She’s even helped with things like bringing in packages and checking on things around the house, which means so much when you’re traveling. Our cats are very different personalities, and she handles both of them so patiently and lovingly—it’s clear she genuinely cares. Knowing they’re in her hands allows us to fully relax when we’re gone. We trust Jessica completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!
A True Lifesaver We are beyond grateful for Sarah. She stepped in with less than 12 hours’ notice during a true family emergency and absolutely saved us. We live out of state, and our senior citizen parents were in a horrible car accident during Thanksgiving. They suddenly couldn’t care for their 25+ pets, cats, turtles, and fish, and we couldn’t get to them right away. Sarah immediately stepped up and took care of every single animal with so much kindness and thoroughness. She made sure everyone was fed, cleaned, and cared for, and she communicated with us the whole time so we had complete peace of mind. She even offered to bring food over for my father-in-law, who is still on bed rest while his wife remains in the hospital. Her compassion truly went above and beyond anything we expected. Sarah is an absolute angel to our family. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals mean more than we can express. We 100% recommend her and are forever grateful for her help during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bastrop is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 624 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bastrop. 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 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
