About: I have experience with taking care of dogs and cats. When my neighbor is out of town or when my grandmother had a dog, I have full responsibility of taking care of their pets. This includes feeding them their respective food, taking them outside to either play with them or go for a walk, taking them outside to take care of their potty business, and even run races with the dogs to see how fast they can go! I am always in a energetic mood when I'm around pets and am more than happy to provide my service to them. I make sure that I follow specific instructions carefully and precisely in order to satisfy my clients and to ensure high efficiency for the pets. Throughout the year, my work schedule is very flexible, allowing me time to spend with your furry friends! I am available Monday-Friday after 5 PM and Saturday and Sunday after 1 PM. Please let me know if there is anything else you are curious to know! My pets are all indoor pets. I pride myself in making sure that my pets and the client’s pets are in a safe and secured environment while allowing for lots of fun and leisure time! When I’m out walking outside, I make sure to always have any pets on a leash to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi, I'm Gary! With over 30 years of dedicated experience in animal rescue, rehabilitation, and caregiving, your pets will be in highly capable and loving hands. My approach centers on a simple truth: pets are family, and every single one is a unique individual who deserves personalized care, respect, and patience. My extensive background in animal welfare grew in stages. I started decades ago with local strays and rescues, learning the foundations of animal behavior and ensuring our community cats and neighbors pets were safe and healthy. By 1997, I started volunteering with the Inland Valley Humane Society. Later, I volunteered with the Yolo County SPCA while attending UC Davis, learning from top veterinary professionals from the top veterinary school in the nation. Upon graduation, I volunteered with multiple animal welfare groups elsewhere in the state, synthesizing this institutional knowledge helping numerous rescue groups in the Inland Empire socializing dogs and cats, managing several cat colonies, and assisting fosters and pet owners with specialized support for sick and injured wards. While I am not a veterinarian and can never diagnose ailments, I am exceptionally experienced in the rehabilitation and recovery process. Through it all, I have become uniquely qualified to ensure your pets' safety and well-being. I have worked with animals from about every point on the socialization continuum --- all of them with very unique personality quirks. Every animal is an individual. And, while broad themes can be drawn, understanding and catering to individuaistic needs divides true caregiving from generalized maintenance. Even the most experienced rescuer and caregiver must remain humble and adaptible. Like people, no two are the same. I look forward to meeting your delightful pets and helping you with your pet care needs. The type of care they deserve! I am not altogether sure what this prompt is asking because animal care isn't necessarily something that always conveniently fits into one's schedule. I've done hour long socialization visits, companionship visits, all the way to all-nighters providing fluids and medications to parvo afflicted puppy liters. An animal's well-being and quality of life are the only components we must consider. Whether that's a bit of exercise, a clean water bowl with nutrious food, a nervous pet with separation anxiety, socialization needs, or treatment and rehabilitation, they all have to be considered as fundimental to a pet's welfare. My experience has exposed me to just about everything I can think of. I will be teaching soon, hopefully for the Fort Worth ISD or some other local public school district, but work has never been a constraint. Pet welfare is a 24/7 affair when the lives and well-being of our family members are at stake. Boarding outside of their familiar territory is not the most ideal situation for an animal. However, I have several crates, x pens, toys, portable catteries, etc. with which to provide them a sense of comfort and security, so long as we fill that space with things for which they can find a sense of familiarity. But, again, I prefer to not remove a pet from the territory where they feel most comfortable whenever possible. Not only are they separated from their guardian, they would then be in a new environment, with new scents, new sights, new social dynamics, new animals, etc. It's not the most comfortable situation for them to put it mildly. For creatures that derive their security from routine and familiarity, one change can be overwhelming; but multiple changes can send them spiraling. And traumatizing a pet is the very antithesis of caregiving, in my opinion. However, after a few visits and they get to know and trust their caregiver, these dynamics can change dramatically. But, the key is always make their visit as seamless and comforting as possible. With that stated, routine is the most reassuring agent. The times they eat, exercise, sleep, take medications, treats, etc, whatever their schedule is, adhering to it as strictly as you can is crucial. That's how a caregiver maintains tranquility in a period of potential high anxiety for pets.

About: I have worked at a pet resort for multiple years, in which I monitor group play with a variety of temperaments, administer medication and care for dogs and cats on a daily basis. I’ve also had multiple dogs and cats throughout childhood, teenage, and in my adult years. I have experience with pets of all personalities and strive to learn more about each animal to be able to accommodate them to ensure they are most comfortable. I work 4 days a week, so I am able to pet sit/walk throughout the day mostly on weekends and Mondays, however my weekday off day could flex to Friday availability as well. I have 2 friendly dogs, one medium and one small with a fully fenced in backyard to keep your pet company! But they could easily be in our room for those that are picky with their friends. I also have 2 indoors cats but they could be sequestered for pets that may not enjoy feline company. I also have experience with crate training and potty training if applicable to your pup! I have the utmost respect for my client’s homes and their pet’s already established routines- no matter how extensive!

I’m a very reliable, responsible, and respectful person, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home! I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel happy and secure.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I’m always mindful and respectful of their space. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in caring and trustworthy hands!

Ashley stepped in to care for my cat when my regular sitter wasn’t available during the July 4th holiday, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. She was incredibly detail-oriented and communicative throughout each visit. During every check-in, Ashley kept me informed of how my cat was doing, let me know if there were any concerns, sent wonderful photos, and completed the Rover visit report with thoughtful updates. That level of communication gave me real peace of mind and is something I haven’t experienced with previous sitters. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter who will treat your pet with love and keep you well informed while you’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fort Worth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fort Worth is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 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 708 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Worth. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Worth. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
