“Madison was wonderful and took such good care of my kitty. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. She was always punctual and my cat took a liking to her (he’s usually really shy). Thank you Madison!”
“I’m so glad we went with Lizeth! She dropped in and checked on our two cats while we were away for a weekend trip. It was a last minute ask, and she pulled through! Even coming the day before to meet our littles. She has 4 cats of her own and I could tell she was comfortable with ours. Would recommend working with her and would hire again. ☺️”
About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs since I was 10, especially pit bulls. I have hands-on experience helping with dog births and caring for puppies. I have three dogs of my own: a micro French Bulldog, a Chihuahua, and a Pit Bull. I’ve also worked at Taurus Academy, which gave me additional experience around dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs patience, love, and proper care. I’m comfortable around different breeds and want every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have flexibility in my schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care routines to fit your pet’s needs. I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of supervision, patience, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m also happy to discuss any special needs or safety concerns before providing care.
“Luciana did such an amazing job with cat! I was nervous leaving him for the first time with a sitter but ended up relaxing/enjoying the whole trip because Luciana did such a great job. She’s a great communicator and cares about your pet too! Will be booking her again!”
“Amber was recommended to us by friends and we are very glad for that! Amber was able to accommodate a last minute booking and took great care of our 3 cats. They seemed very relaxed when we returned. She even cleaned out the litter even though I had said she didn’t need to worry about it! It was a nice surprise. Thank you, Amber!”
“Fantastic job, very accommodating, kind and communicative, providing good updates and took great care of my two cats! Will reach out again when I need boarding again!”
“Where to start! I felt so at ease with Carly watching my little fur babies. You can tell she has a loving heart towards people and animals. My kitties loved her. Wouldn’t stop raving about her when we got back— haha. Always was diligent about sending me updates and photos, and seems like they got plenty of play time. Will absolutely be utilizing her services again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
About: Pet sitting has been part of my full time job in the past, so I take it very seriously. I was a nanny/personal assistant to a family for over 6 years, which included taking care of a 90 lb golden retriever (who I raised from a puppy) and 2 tabby cats! I also have a cat of my own and have had cats since I was 5 years old. I have a flexible work schedule so I can come to play or feed your pets most times of the day. I have a very flexible schedule that I make on my own so I can make most times and days of the week, including weekends. I will make sure to follow all of your safety requirements in your home. I have amazing references off of rover if needed since I just started rover.
“Mariana was an absolutely wonderful catsitter! She knew my cat was high maintenance but was excited for the challenge. Kept regular communication with me throughout and I was able to see how well they bonded and it put me at complete ease! Would highly recommend”
“Willow did an incredible job taking care of my sweet cat , Mittens! My plants were watered and cared for as well. Thanks so much, Willow, for all the photos and detailed reports of your visits! It made being away a little easier. I would definitely rebook with Willow in the future!”
About: i have always gravitated towards animals and have spent my life going up around them for example, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, etc. and I have grown to be the happiest i can be around them i’m currently a college student with my classes, only taking up a few hours in the morning so I have plenty of time to devote myself to anything that I like I live on my own. It will put my full attention to care for any pet that is in my home. my home is also pet safe as there are no cords or safety hazards laying around.
“Stefanie was amazing! Had my original sitter cancel last minute and she swooped in and saved the day. Although she was already sitting multiple pets, she made time and space for my cat. It was my cat’s first time being sat by a stranger so he was extremely shy but she was so understanding, accommodating, and patient with him. By the end of my cats stay, he was so comfortable and happy to be with her. Throughout his stay, Stefanie also sent multiple pictures and updates to ease my nerves about my cat. Will definitely be booking with Stefanie again and would recommend her to anyone. Truly someone who loves your pets!”

Amarantha had amazing communication with us throughout the entire drop in session, sent us lots of pictures and even got my cat to play with a certain toy that he NEVER plays with. She put a lot of care and love into my animals and we will definitely be reaching out to her again :)
Soren always goes above and beyond when watching our cat (and cats when we had two). He is attentive to their needs and gives us updates on how they are doing. He notes any changes in their behavior and is willing to be flexible in finding the best way to make them comfortable. Soren has been our go-to sitter for a few years now and we always feel confident leaving pets in his care. He is responsive to messages, so if you have any issues/questions, or need to make changes to the booking, it's easy to hammer everything out quickly. My little diva of a cat has even warmed up to him, and that is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
Kaleigh is my go to cat sitter! My kitty Mousse loves having her around. She always takes great care of mousse, getting him fresh water, cleaning out his litter box, to even hanging out with him a little bit longer just to give him loves. So happy I can rely on her to always be there for mousse!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,614 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Garfield. 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
