“Tami did an excellent job of caring for my three kitties (especially the one that requires extra feedings) in my home. Tami is conscientious - she sent photos and updated me on how my cats were doing each day. Thank you Tami!”

About: For the last 10 years I have been the go to pet-sitter for my family, friends and neighbors, and I can be for you also! I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all kinds. I have taken care of itty bitty baby kittens and helped raised them up to go into their forever homes. I spent time working at a doggie daycare, where I gained some experience administering medications such as pills and eyedrops/eardrops. I, myself have three cats Roo, Gus and Noelle I am currently doing pet care full-time, and I can work with your schedule. I can be flexible, just let me know when you need me! With my own cats and I strive to take care of them the best I can, they get the best food, the best water, a lot of play and so many cuddles. I will take care of your babies as if they are my own, while also also sticking to your standards and routine.
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!”
“Thank you, Jackie, for all you do for our kitty boys, Frankie and Jack. You make our time away from home much more relaxing, we have no worries and no stress that you will always take care of things for us.”
“Elizabeth was super reliable with watching after my cat for a short trip! She was very communicative in updating me on her plans to drop in, etc. which I greatly appreciated :) will be booking her again!”
“"Over 26 years of shared kitty parenthood, my wife and I have had many cat sitters, but Kam is our absolute favorite. In just one week, she built a bond with our skittish, untrusting 10-year-old Bengal, Jasmine, that we never thought possible. Kam's patience and care transformed Jasmine's behavior—from keeping a safe distance to sitting close, rubbing against her, and even allowing herself to be petted. Thanks to Kam's thoughtful photo updates during each visit, we were able to witness this heartwarming transformation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Jasmine was in such capable, loving hands. Kam is now our go-to kitty sitter for all future trips. Thank you, Kam—you rock!"”
About: Ever since I can remember I loved taking care of pets. When I was in high school I created my own petsitting/dog walking business Happy Paws. I built up a client base in my neighborhood and surrounding areas. I have experience petsitting dogs and cats, as well as caring for animals with medical needs. I can provide daily care as well as overnight care for your pet. For one year I also worked as a kennel assistant at a vets office. As a kennel assistant, I cared for max 12 dogs in the boarding center. While dogs were in boarding I provided daily care, cleaned kennels, and gave baths as needed. I used to have a dog and grew up with 4 cats in my house. I love taking care of all pets and animals (including chickens)! I am currently a recent graduate of Northern Illinois University. I am able to provide care for your pet during the day and overnight. During the weekday I am available dependent on my work schedule. I work split shifts so mid day care may be arranged. My evening availability is open past 6pm, please reach out for more details. My weekend availability is dependent on certain dates set, please reach out for more details. I am unable to provide care for pets inside my own home, but am willing to spend time in your own home to care for your pet. I have experience providing overnight care for dogs. I abide by all guidelines and instructions set in place and am willing to do a meet and greet before I spend time caring for your pet.
About: I have had dogs as pets since a child and love animals of any kind. I have cared for dogs and cats along with dog walking for many years, including puppies and reactive dogs. I have a reactive dog myself and have experience walking and caring for reactive and anxious dogs. I have experience with a prong collar. Your pet will be my main focus and priority and I will love them like my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can make arrangements. I take care of animals like they are my own, they will have all of my focus and attention and love. Drop in visits and walking services available.
“Cayla was FANTASTIC with my cat. She gave her so much love and attention. The follow up messages and photos were so thorough. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver.”
“April was great! She was reliable and consistent, and she provided great pictures and communication about how each visit went. Our kitty stayed happy and healthy in our absence. Would book again!”
“Kaylan has been a godsend for when I go out of town and forget to contact a sitter in a timely manner. She has been able to make strides with Arthur in a short period of time and I appreciate knowing that when I am away, Kaylan and Arthur will play! 😊”
“Stephanie was very attentive and communicated any issues she encountered while cat sitting our two girls. She sent daily pictures and followed the instructions left behind. I will definitely book Stephanie for my upcoming trips.”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
About: I personally have had pets in my home for my entire life, including plenty of cats and dogs! I currently have two loving orange kitties. I was also a dog sitter for a teacher of mine for two years and took care of her two 200lbs Giant Schnauzers. I walked, fed, played with, and housesat for these dogs for many weekends over these two years. I am familiar with working with pets of all ages and needs. Two of my childhood dogs were adopted as seniors with special care needs, and one of my cats currently has a special diet and is very high energy. I will adapt to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and happy! I am currently working part time mostly on night shifts, which leaves with with the day time open to hang out and take care of your pet! Safety is my number one priority, no matter what. I will always double check doors to make sure no one escaped, check that leashes are properly fastened, always keep an eye on what a pet might be chewing on— whatever it takes to keep them safe and happy!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Big Bend
Tami did such a wonderful job attending to my two relatively new kitties - and definitely new to each other - as one was just adopted about 2 months ago. I would recommend Tami and will definitely try to fit into Tami's calendar again, the next time I need cat sitting services. Thanks Tami!! Great Job!! Georgie and Freddie miss you already!!
Tami did an excellent job caring for both my cats who have medical needs. My older cat is a diabetic with severe skin issues requiring multiple medications on an alternating schedule in addition to her twice a day insulin. She did a good job asking questions and making sure Kitten got the medications she needed on the correct schedule. She successfully gave both oral and injection medication and Kitten was in great shape when I got back (which is not always the case after a vacation due to her detailed care needs). There were some minor things that came up but those were mostly me being very particular about some specifics and in the end, were not that important and didn't affect the care of the cats. The house was clean and the cat food and litter box trash taken out, which I appreciated.
Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat, Luna! Luna is shy and has her routines--meds, supplements, foods, treats. Katie patiently managed them all while helping Luna feel as comfortable as possible with us out of the house. I really appreciate Katie's kindness and care!

As of September 2026, there are 1,157 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Big Bend. 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.

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.
