“Austin is FANTASTIC! He came highly recommended and I can absolutely see why. He was so incredibly kind when he met my animals, I knew they would be in great hands. He took the best pictures and videos and spent a lot of time playing with the kitties. ☺️”
“Bria is excellent with shy and skittish dogs. My girls did not run and hide when she came by, which is highly unusual. I had no qualms about leaving my babies with Bria and if she is available next time, I’ll hire her again!”
About: I have experience caring for different types of pets and understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and providing plenty of attention. I'm responsible, patient, and dependable, and I will treat your pets like family. I also understand how important it is to follow each owner's instructions and keep them updated while they're away. I'm currently a student at the University of Houston, so my schedule is flexible around my classes. I can work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. I'm happy to provide daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care when arranged in advance. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets have fresh water, food, and a clean environment. I'll keep doors secure, supervise pets during activities, and provide regular updates and pictures so you know your pets are doing well.
About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.

“This was our first time to use Wendy and she is wonderful. She is so sweet with our cats. She sent several great pictures and went beyond to put our mail and packages on the porch. She's a keeper.”
“Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!”

“Frida cared for my big scaredy-cat Luna in my home for three weeks, and I was very pleased with her performance. She is a very kind and caring pet sitter, and she knows cats. Some sitters think they only need to leave food and clean the litter box, but Frida understood that Luna also needed company. This was the most comfortable I've felt leaving my cat and home in someone's care. I came home to a clean home and safe and healthy kitty cat. I intend to use Frida's services again.”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Iowa Colony is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $21 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.

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.

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.
