“Esmeralda has been a great help caring for our three cats while we are away. I appreciate her communication and all her efforts to ensure our babies are well cared for in our absence. Looking forward to have her return as one of our preferred sitters.”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve raised newborn cats and bottle fed them. I love caring for animals and would love to engage with them with games, toys and snacks! I’m currently a student at university, part time. Therefore, I have plenty of time to take care of pets in the mornings and afternoons. I’m available during weekends as well. I have 2 cats who are friendly to other animals. I will pay attention to your furry friend and keep an eye on them at all times. While also playing with them and keeping them entertained.
“This was our 3rd time having Mateo watch our two cats, and it won't be our last! Mateo is very thorough with instructions and very sweet to our boys while we are away. He always sends great photos/videos during his visits and never hesitates to ask if he has a question. I recommend Mateo to anyone needed a pet sitter!”
“Noel was great with Lolita. During my absence there was a major ant invasion and he was kind enough to take care of the issue. Lola love him! He was very punctual with the schedule, responsible, patient and kind.”
“Bailee was wonderful! She took great care of my two kitties and was always easily accessible. She provided updates, including photos, consistently which made me feel like I wasn't too far from my furry babies.”
“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!”
“Cameron provides detailed updates and pictures after each visit. My cat looked like she was having a great time playing with her. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Ximena did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my boys! She truly treated them like they were her own! She went above and beyond to ensure that they felt loved and cared for. She was very communicative and pro-active which was great for an anxious dog mom, like me!”
“Anastasia did a great job dropping in to check on my cat Bojangles while I was out of town. Good with communication and sent photos. Would book her to watch him again!”
“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!”
“Jacquelyn was wonderful! We reached out to her at the last minute and her timely responses made us feel super comfortable boarding a last min flight knowing Caesar would been in good hands. She took plenty of pics and left us a sweet note about their time. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Katy was amazing with our two Dobermans. She did drop ins for them and was prompt and spent a lot of the time outside with them so they could play. She spent extra time with them so they could have more time to be out and play. We will be having her back!”

This is the first time that we have booked Sarah and couldn’t have been more pleased. She was incredible with our cats. As to be expected I was stressed leaving my babies but my stress quickly went down with the daily updates and photos. I could tell that they were loved and taken care of very well. I am already planning on booking her again. She is awesome. She definitely exceeded my expectations.
This was the first time being away from my cat without him being in the care of family members while I traveled. I was very nervous, but Hannah was communicative and sent pictures to ensure me that all was well. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur baby, Hannah!

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
- 98% 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 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.
