About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

Just reach out to me for a booking :) I don’t have room to care for your pet inside my home but i’m happy to come to yours to take care of your babies

“Not only is Jade Marie extremely respectful, she was responsive to my partner and I while we were away for a week-long vacation. She made a personal connection with our two cats by playing with them and also kept their area clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Jade Marie to other pet owners seeking help!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.

“Elisandro has a special way with cats. He not only understands them and treats them beautifully, he knows a lot about different breeds. He is a cat (& dog) owner himself. He remembered every detail of my cats' care that we went over, he is immediate in answering all texts, he is right on schedule every day. He is very well spoken, friendly, trustworthy and respectful to human beings as well! My cats let me know that they loved him when I got back home from being away. I will always ask Elisandro when I go out of town, and I highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve taken care of all sized dogs since I can remember. Friends and family usually have relied on me to walk, feed, and love their pets. A typical day/overnight consists of a lot of attention/play time, outside walks and potty breaks, and making sure meals are eaten. I have a very open schedule and flexible schedule. I am looking to take care of your pet and give them my full attention in order for you to feel they are safe. While taking care of your pet, I like to give updates with photos so you know your pet is being taken care of! Having your pet in my home I will make sure they are comfortable, safe, and watched over.

About: With over 15 years of experience in the pet care industry, caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my passion. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and I also have experience caring for cats, reptiles, rodents, and other exotic pets. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I currently care for multiple animals of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide loving, dependable care while you’re away. In addition to my professional experience, I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have experience with dog training, allowing me to confidently work with dogs that have different temperaments and training needs. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, cuddles, medication, or extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also bilingual, making it easy to communicate with a wider range of pet parents. My goal is to provide personalized, reliable care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your furry, feathered, or scaly family members happy and healthy. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work remotely, which means I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship for your pet. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I also have reliable transportation and can provide pick-up and drop-off services for your convenience. For active pups, I also offer adventure hikes and structured pack walks (with compatible dogs) if that’s something you’re interested in. Whether your pet prefers an active outing or a relaxing day at home, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. My home is a spacious two-story house with a finished basement, which allows me to comfortably separate pets if needed for feeding, decompression, introductions, or if a dog simply prefers their own space. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I’ll provide patient, individualized care to help them feel safe and at home. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and never leave pets unattended in the yard. Fresh water is always available, and I closely monitor all playtime and interactions. For multi-pet households, I prioritize slow introductions and only allow dogs to interact if they are comfortable and compatible. (If allowed) I’m experienced working with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats and other small animals, and I’m comfortable administering medications if needed. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

It was a pleasure having Meghan take care of my cats while I was traveling. She graciously met with us for a meet & greet before the booking. She sent me detailed notes and lots of cute photos after each visit. The house was left in perfect condition and the cats were happy and healthy when I returned. Your pets are in good hands with her!

This is the first time I have left my boys in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Ashley was not only quick to respond (which is important to me) , but also left me with such peace of mind. She sent me pictures and went the extra step to make sure I felt comfortable. I highly recommend her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Highland Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Highland Lakes is $9 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $9 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 October 2026, there are 1,518 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highland Lakes. 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 .

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
