“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”
“Emma I’d a thoughtful and caring cat sitter! Our cats are all high maintenance and have distinct needs and Emma has exceeded expectations in caring for them. Her updates clearly tell me what’s going on and she always sends so many pictures I know my babies are in good hands. I would recommend Emma to care for your pets every time!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Allison is an absolute gem. She took care of our cat like her own and bonded with her and sent us the cutest pictures and updates. She also went above and beyond in taking care of other small things here and there outside of directly taking care of the cat. Highly recommend her!
Dara provided excellent care for my senior cat. Dara showed up on time every day, played a little with my cat, and made sure her food and water were well supplied. She also sent great pics, so I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away. Her communication was great, and I would not hesitate to use here again when I must leave town.
Gabby was a semi-last minute booking and she really pulled through and showed up. She kept my two cats happy and socialized. Gabby went the extra mile returning keys and communicated openly. I would recommend her service if you want someone friendly, willing, and flexible.
I could not have been happier to have faith watch my two cats when i was out of town!! I reached out on only a few days notice and she responded immediately and was so friendly and eager to help. Super easy to schedule the meet and greet and shes a genuinely lovely person who clearly loves animals! She was amazing at responding to me, sending me pics of my boys, and most importantly just doing everything she could to make sure they were looked after when i was gone. Great experience and i will definitely be reaching back out. Thanks faith!!
We had a really great initial visit and I was confident that Jay would be great. She was even better than expected! She was great at adapting to small issues with my cats’ behavior and keeping me up to date about the details and with cute pictures! Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Houston on Rover is $21.4 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 2,957 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.
