About: **I do rover in Gig Harbor and Austin, depending where I’m at (WFH perk!)** Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 12 years. I have cared for two wonderful dogs of my own—a small dog named Gunner and a Chocolate Lab named Jeter—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve become comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, potty breaks, medication, or simply someone nearby to keep them company, I can be there. For house sitting, I can bring my work setup with me so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while still receiving lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Because I work from home, I’m able to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day, providing regular walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of supervision. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a calm companion to relax with, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and lots of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Amber was extremely caring and flexible even after a mistake on our end with our address being labeled incorrectly. She astounded us by being over and above in her care for Bill. We felt very grateful that she was able to care for him over the holiday weekend.

Thank you once again for the wonderful care of our cat and dog. I love that we come home to them missing us, but in a happy way. Nick is reliable, communicates well, and does the work to win over our pets every time he cares for them. The walks and snuggles help our little guy with his anxiety. I highly recommend Nick and will book him again when we travel.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hays on Rover is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $26 per visit. 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 .

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
