“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.”
“Tatyana did a drop in visit for us and was great. We have a high energy puppy and she was calm and kind. She sent pics of the visit which we loved. I will use her again.”
“As always, Emma was great with the cats. Her daily cards and updates are very valuable and help me know that my cats are being well cared for. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that the cats are safe and secured as requested.”
“Christina was amazing with our babies. Two of our kitties are very shy, but they came to visit her right off the bat. She was very communicative and respectful and even went above and beyond with some light chores. We will definitely book Christina again.”
“Ariana stepped in at one-day's notice to care for my cat during my 10-day vacation - she was also more than willing to help water my plants while we were away. She took such amazing care of my cat and was so communicative while we were away. I am so grateful for Ariana!”
“Filipa was thorough and excellent with our cats! Sent daily updates and videos after drop in visits, was flexible when we needed to add an extra day, and overall was one of the best Rover pet sitters we have had. It’s always nice to know your pets are being well cared for, and I appreciate Filipa’s attentiveness. Thank you!!”
“Mateo was wonderful! I scheduled for him to meet our dog prior to the first visit and it was a smooth transition. Mateo was attentive and asked important questions. When Mateo came to check on our dog, he was very communicative and provide photos. We look forward to booking Mateo soon again.”
“Brittaney took care of our fur baby pretty much all week. She was very quick to response to our last minute requests. She is very reliable and I definitely recommend”

“Trinity is awesome!! She took great care of my two antisocial pups. She was patient and allowed my dogs to warm up to her. I came back to a clean home and happy dogs! ? Would definitely rebook!”
“Sana was very sweet to our kitties and played with our kitten when she came to check on them. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to make your cats feel less alone!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Houston
Hannah was so great watching our cat, Bubbies! She was great at communicating how he was doing each day and sharing pictures. Our cat had some recent health scares so I was nervous to leave him but Hannah total set me at ease. Definitely would rebook with Hannah!
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!
Gari, where have you been lo these many years? We needed your dependability, efficiency, groundedness and genuine caring for our pets a long time ago! But you came along at just the right moment and set our minds at ease while we were away for almost 2 weeks. Gari collected mail and sent daily personal texts and updates through Rover. They won over our shy indoor cats with gentle attentiveness and vibed with our outdoor cats to gain their trust. We hope Gari will be available for our next extended vacation. We think they and our kitties will take up right where they left off. Thank you again, Gari!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Houston on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 78 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
