About: I have always had a big heart for animals of all kinds. My first job was walking my neighbor's dog when I was about 12. I grew up with a cat named Skiggy, and I got my dog Maisy when I was 14. I have never met a pet I didn't get along with, and I love playing with and caring for all pets! I am currently in grad school, so my schedule is a little irregular. During the week, I am available for morning and evening visits, and daytime visits on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On weekends, I am pretty flexible! Safety and trust are my utmost priority when caring for your pets. You are the expert on your pets, so I will follow your instructions on how best to care for them. If something unexpected happens, I will use my best judgment to make a decision and communicate with you.
“Valerie did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats! She made an effort to meet them prior to the week of me being gone, and asked very good questions at that time. Throughout the week, she was communicative and sent lots of pictures of the cats. Would absolutely have her watch them again!”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving our cat with her. Alexis is very professional, kind and knows what she is doing. I will definitely use her again. It was our cats first time being left and around other cats.”
“My cat, Sake, loved her! Delilah boarded him while I was out of the country for a week and Sake had so much fun and personal play time. I really appreciated the fact that there are no other pets in her home, so Sake didn't feel threatened by the presence of other cats.”
“I had an emergency situation and had to find a sitter. Annitha was an awesome! She was very easy to communicate with and she seemed to have got along really well with the kitties in a couple of short visits. She even cut their nails and brushed them! We definitely recommend!”
“Baysia was amazing! Mooch is normally shy of strangers at first but he was all over her begging for pets and playing. I’m so grateful that my furry son was well cared for while I’m away.”
“Sonia is awesome!! Totally recommend. She sends constant updates when she visits and takes great care of my cat even on long trips! He gets so excited to see Sonia when she comes in!! Great sitter!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and fish, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. As an adult, I have continued living with pets, especially cats, and I have experience raising a kitten from just two months old. I am attentive to animals’ needs and good at noticing small changes in their behavior. I also pay close attention to cleanliness and hygiene to ensure pets have a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, care, and affection. I'm working as full-time (9-5) Mo-Fri with 2 days of WFH per week. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I'm happy to coordinate visits around your cat's usual feeding schedule, playtime, and other daily routines. I understand cats thrive on consistency, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and keep their owners updated regularly. Having lived with and cared for three cats, I understand how important it is to respect each cat's personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I prioritize a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior. I treat every client's home with respect and make sure their cat receives patient, attentive care. I'm also happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you're away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Carolina took fantastic care of our two cats, Chico and Kiba! From the moment she met them, it was clear how much she truly cares about animals. She was punctual, reliable, and sent regular updates and daily photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Chico and Kiba were both relaxed and content when we returned. Carolina treated them like her own, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
I was leaving the country and decided kinda last minute so I needed a cat sitter for drop in visits over 12 days or so. Amber responded quickly and was able to do drop in visits on my 2 cats on short notice. She got along with the cats great and Bingo warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely hire her again! Thanks Amber!
Ynes was absolutely wonderful! I needed someone to care for my two cats on short notice, and she was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire booking. She kept me updated with messages and photos, made sure the cats were well taken care of, and even went above and beyond handling some unexpected messes. I came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. I really appreciate her care and professionalism and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
This is our second time booking Violet to take care of our cat, and we couldn't be happier. She is incredibly attentive to detail and makes communication so easy, always sending us pictures while we're away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their cats 😸
This is my second time booking Rebecca and she's truly the best! She's really great with my cats and it's a relief to not constantly worry about them while we were away on vacation. Even my one cat who is very shy seems to have warmed up to her this time around. I feel like Rebecca really goes out of her way to make sure my babies are cared for, even cleaning out their litter boxes. She sends lots of pictures and communicative if she has any questions. I'll continue to book with Rebecca for as long as she'll have us.
Chloe did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town! She was reliable, attentive, and made me feel comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. I really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Houston is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 November 2026, there are 826 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Houston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
