About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time veterinary technician, I work with pets every day and have experience recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Large and small breeds • Anxious or shy pets • High-energy dogs • Pets with medical conditions • Pets recovering from hospitalization and surgery (following veterinarian instructions) Whether we're going for a walk, playing, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply spending time together, I make sure every pet receives individualized care and plenty of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My ultimate goal is to attend veterinary school, so getting exposure to helping owners is one of my biggest passions. I treat every pet like they're family while giving you peace of mind that they're in knowledgeable, caring hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work as a veterinary technician and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I'm available after work on weekdays and have greater flexibility on my days off for walks and drop-in visits. I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their usual routine. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care their pet may need. I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and can provide medication administration if needed according to your veterinarian's instructions. I always prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! During each visit, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, compassionate care.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and spent 6 summers working as a competitive dog trainer, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. That experience taught me how to read dogs, understand their individual needs, and build trust with them through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I grew up with dogs in my family and have always loved how naturally friendly, loving, and fun they are to be around. Now that I live in Houston away from my friends, family, and the dogs I grew up with, Rover feels like the perfect way to bring dogs back into my life while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in experienced, caring hands. Whether your dog wants a long walk, some playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a comfortable companion while you’re away, I’d love to spend time with them! I work full-time in Houston, so I’m typically available for dog sitting, walks, and drop-ins during evenings and on weekends. My schedule can vary a bit depending on work, but I’m happy to plan ahead and coordinate around your dog’s routine. I’m especially interested in weekend stays and sitting opportunities, but I also have flexibility for evening walks and drop-ins when I’m in town. I travel occasionally, so I keep my availability calendar updated and will always communicate my schedule clearly in advance. I’m looking forward to filling my free time with some four-legged friends! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My years of competitive dog training taught me how to read body language, recognize when a dog is uncomfortable or overstimulated, and adjust my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication routines to walks, house rules, and anything else that helps your dog feel at home. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, so I’ll communicate consistently, provide updates while you’re away, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Sama was incredibly kind and attentive to my cats. She was also very flexible with my changing schedule and made sure that the cats got the care they needed. She sent me many pictures and videos to keep me updated and help me miss my babies less! I would trust her to watch them again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 6 years and have been helping with neighbors' pups as well. From potty breaks to belly rubs, I can help with your canine needs. I am available on weekdays after 6:30 PM or anytime on weekends! I have a dog and 2 cats at home. I walk my dog 3 times a day, your fur baby is always welcome to join us! If your dog is cat-friendly, I will happily host them at my home. Communication is very important to me, and I will send updates, pictures, or anything you need. I understand leaving your pet is difficult, but I will make them feel at home with love and care.
“Thank you for coming to help last minute. You were very thorough and took photos reassuring us while we were out of town. I appreciate your flexibility!! We will use you again. The dogs were happy and didn’t seem bothered (they were grateful) by the visit!”
“Bailee was so sweet and great with our dog. We also have a cat in the home and though we did not book her for help with the cat, she was so kind and patient with our cat and sent photos of both of them to make us feel great while we were away. She handled changes well and I am so thankful for her professionalism. Thank you again, Bailee.”
“Joni was an amazing pet sitter! She checked in on my cats over Christmas and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, very communicative, and sent lots of great photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats and made sure they were happy and well looked after. I would absolutely book with Joni again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”
“Hannah took great care of my kitten while I was away and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, caring, and attentive! She was also a great communicator!”
“Brianna is simply the best! We’re so lucky we met her and for all the great care she’s given our pup, Bear, throughout 2025. This most recent stay was no exception. She is always on time, provides great communication (& updates!), and, of course, is so kind and patient with Bear. You’re making the right choice working with her!”
“Chloe went so far above and beyond. I am elated to have had the opportunity to meet and work with her. She paid exceptional mind to my cat, plants, house, and even deep cleaned things around the house on multiple occasions. I could not have felt more at ease leaving my cat under her care. I will absolutely be calling her next time I require a sitter. Thanks so so much Chloe!!!”
“Ynes was fantastic! She completed three drop-ins per day over three days and was consistently on time for every visit. She handled my senior dog, Dutchess, with great care and attention, which gave me real peace of mind. What I appreciated most was her communication… she sent multiple pictures daily and kept me updated every step of the way, making me feel completely comfortable while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely use Ynes’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my TT! Timothy was very patient and sweet with my shy shelter dog. Kept her in her regular routine and spent extra time with her when he could.”
“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“LeeAnn was very caring and attentive to my senior cat and her needs, and took the time to get to know her and her personality. Throughout the stay, she sent me updates and pictures which gave me peace of mind that my cat was happy and well-cared for.”
“Avery is super sweet, punctual, polite and outgoing. My dogs took to her immediately. 😄 She's excellent with communication and keeping in contact before, during and after visits. She even sent me a pic of my fur babies running around the backyard having a good time! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for caring for my pups!❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Houston on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,002 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Houston. 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 Houston. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
