“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“She did an amazing job with our dog Buddy! You will get the best photos of your pet just like we did. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry! Thank you so much!”
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
“Kriti has been taking care of my cat for the past year now every time we are travelling. I love the rover cards she sends that are detailed around her feedings and bowel movements. She also plays with her and gets her energy out. She follows all instructions. Finding Kriti has made going on trips and leaving our cat home in the care of Kriti a lot easier. We truly appreciate her.”
About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.
“Brittany is fabulous! She was extremely attentive to our two cats and I felt so great leaving them in her care. She is very knowledgeable about cats and you can see the passion she has for animals. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Holly is very responsible, cat loving, and knowing person. She complied with a schedule. Our two cats accepted her from day one. We recommend Holly, and will call her in the future.”
About: I have always had a natural ability to connect and build trust with every animal I've been lucky enough to have in my life. I'm just as excited to run, jump, and throw with your most energetic pets, as I am to keep a nice, slow pace on the road to a great relationship with your more timid and cautious companions. I'm work remotely and would love nothing more than having a four-legged friend to meet up with at the water cooler throughout the week! Outside of Tuesday afternoons, my current schedule is flexible enough to discuss any other day or time that works best for you and your pet! Whether it's maintaining a strict diet/mealtime while we hang out inside or going for a stroll for some fresh air outside, there is truly nothing I take more seriously than your animal's health and safety. Any household rules or precautions (Certain doors kept closed, loose fence gate-latch, etc.) will be specifically noted and immediately made a priority.
About: Why just walk when you can walk and train? Reinforce positive walking skills, drop in visits, puppy care, cat care, and overnight care. Trust a professional, positive reinforcement trainer with your beloved pets in the comfort of your home. With over a decade of experience in veterinary care as well, Amy adds a keen eye to ensure your pets are safe and healthy while you are away. Working with dogs is my full time career and it’s the best job in the world! I only take clients within a 30 minute radius so I am able to give each pet the time they deserve, allowing me to rotate the pets in my care. I am a highly detailed, perfectionist individual. Keeping your pets and your home safe and cared for is my top priority. Ensuring home security and client protocols are always implemented, along with feeding, water, play, exercise and love are essential!
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“Joanna always does an amazing job. She’s very caring and attentive. This was the third time we had Joanna perform drop in visits for our dog and cat. She’s very detailed and truly cares about the wellbeing for our pets. We will be hiring again. 😀”
“Hannah was extremely responsive and caring towards my cat! I had been worried about my cat since I had recently traveled with her and wasn’t sure how she was going to adjust but Hannah was very communicative and often gave detailed summaries of her visits and lots of photos. I really appreciated it as an anxious pet owner and would recommend Hannah to anyone!”
“This was our second time hiring Roshni and she took amazing care of our cat Lola, followed all our instructions and sent us lots of photos and updates. We’re so grateful she could help us out over the Christmas holiday and we will definitely hire her again for our next trip. Thank you!!”

Brittany took care of my 3 cats as if they were her own. I was concerned about having to travel and leaving my 17 yr old cat that needs daily meds. Brittany followed his schedule and made sure he had his med and supplements every day. My two younger cats also enjoyed her care, company and playtime. Brittany was easy to communicate with, sent pictures of my fur babies daily, and as an extra bonus I found my mail neatly placed on my table. Thank you Brittany! It’s such a relief to know your fur babies are in good hands when you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Harlingen on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,110 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harlingen. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harlingen. On Rover:
- 91% 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 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.
