“Billy was great with our two cats! We live more in the country, and he took the time to come see our house setup before we left. He was very understanding when a few issues arose from our end, and he provided great updates during his visits. We would definitely use him again!”
About: Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. I’ve worked as an animal keeper at The Maryland Zoo, volunteered in herpetology at the National Aquarium, and worked with wildlife conservation organizations internationally. I also care for four dogs, two cats, and 15 other animals at home. My experience includes animal behavior, nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, and specialized care for domestic and exotic species. I offer pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to each animal’s needs, including exercise, feeding, enrichment, and companionship. My schedule includes conservation and wildlife filmmaking projects, allowing me to coordinate pet care around my availability. I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and professionalism I’ve developed throughout my career. Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally.

I also care for four dogs, two cats, and 15 other animals at home. My experience includes animal behavior, nutrition, husbandry, enrichment, and specialized care for domestic and exotic species. Animal care is already a major part of my daily routine. Between caring for our four dogs, two cats, and 15 other animals, I’m accustomed to managing feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, and maintaining clean, healthy environments. I also work with environmental conservation nonprofits and occasionally travel for wildlife projects. My schedule offers flexibility for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I coordinate bookings to ensure every animal receives the attention and care they deserve. I care for other people’s pets with the same attention and consideration I give my own animals. My professional experience in zoological facilities has taught me the importance of preventative care, recognizing changes in behavior, maintaining clean environments, and understanding the individual needs of every animal. Safety always comes first. I take time to understand each pet’s temperament, routines, dietary requirements, and any medical or behavioral considerations before providing care. I believe patience, calm handling, and positive reinforcement are essential to building trust with animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all provided instructions, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets are properly supervised and comfortable. I also prioritize communication and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their animals are doing well.

“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”
“Kayla has been reliable and we love the photos she sent of our Skitty. She was very communicative—letting us know when she arrived, bringing in a package for us, and responding promptly to all of my messages. Her daughter also clearly knows how to meet animals for the first time—she stayed still and let Skitty approach and sniff her hand. For a 4-year-old, that really impressed us and seemed to help Skitty feel comfortable. It was reassuring to know Skitty was in such capable and trustworthy hands”
“Cayden was professional and sweet to my dogs. Great communication and I appreciated her updates before, during, and after her visit. Thanks for making my long work day a little more tolerable for the pups!”
“Kasyn is the best. Our cats love her and I don't feel bad when we have to leave them anymore. She always sends tons of pictures and is great about dealing with our cats special issues. She always leaves the house immaculate and even brought in a big package that was not supposed to be delivered until we returned. We will ll always use her to cat/house sit.”

About: I have taken care of so many dogs and cats over my life time. From my childhood dogs including a German Shepard, a beagle and a chihuahua mix, to a Scottish short hair cat and now 3 little cute cats with me at home. I know what it takes to take care of pets and give the pets what they need I am currently unemployed so I am available at all times. If you need me to check up on your pet many times during the day I can and also take them out for walks! I make sure all the pets are behaving and if there is any trouble I make sure to de escalate and keep the pets calm and collective. I know what it takes to take care of pets in a way that is caring and nurturing.
About: I have more than 10 years of experience in pet care. I really enjoy playing with pets and giving them enough care and attention. I am willing to take them outdoors and indoors to give them the necessary care and happiness. I will be very responsible. For the pets you foster to us, I will take care of them like my own pets. I work from home, so I don't like to go out, but I'm home 24 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to spend with my pets, and I really enjoy playing and communicating with them, so I like to go out in the backyard and play and the outdoors. If they hurt their bodies when they go out to play, I will bandage them in time. If they get stains, I will clean them up in time and help them straighten their hair, because I know that every pet should be in a comfortable environment and a comfortable physical condition to sleep and rest, and I will make sure to do these points

About: Howdy! :) I’m Skylar! I’m a kindergarten teacher and currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education at UT Austin. While completing my online program, I’m spending my time babysitting, pet sitting, and traveling, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Growing up on my uncle’s cattle ranch, I gained hands-on experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller pets, including dogs, cats, and hamsters. My background has given me experience with a wide variety of animals, personalities, and needs. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and experienced in creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’ll bring that same care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to care for yours. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education through UT Austin, and my program is fully online. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I do travel periodically while completing my degree, but I plan my trips around my pet-sitting commitments and only accept bookings when I know I’ll be fully available. I’d love to work with you and find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 🐾 I’m big on communication and will send plenty of photos and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. For walks: I bring my own poop bags, but ask that you provide your pet’s usual collar/harness, leash, and any other equipment they need (such as dog shoes). Before our first walk, we’ll go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any safety expectations — including how they do around other dogs, whether they’re comfortable drinking water while out, and anything else I should know. We can stick to a familiar walking route, visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that, or add games like fetch and playtime when your pup needs more energy burned than a walk alone. For boarding in my home: I have a fenced-in yard, access to a neighborhood dog park, two friendly cats, and a 15-lb fluffy white dog who absolutely loves other animals. I’ll always take your pet’s personality and comfort level into account when deciding how much interaction they have with my pets. For house sitting: I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine — keeping things clean, respecting your space, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I especially love house sitting because I can work on my online master’s program while keeping your pet company, taking plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to feel completely in the loop the whole time! ❤️🐶🐱

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bertram is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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.

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.

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.
