“Sydney was available last minute for Gunner and sent great photos and gave a detailed summery of their visit. I really appreciate that and sounds like Gunner had a great time with her.”
“Jackson took exceptional care of my dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, he treated them with genuine love and kindness. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and happy around him - they absolutely loved him. He carefully followed every instruction I left, paid attention to the little details, and was always punctual and dependable. Knowing my dogs were in such caring and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind throughout the trip. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously, I wholeheartedly recommend Jackson. I am incredibly thankful for everything he did, and I would trust him with my dogs again without hesitation. Thank you, Jackson, for caring for my furry family members as if they were your own!”
“First time leaving my dog at home while we went on a trip. Gina took exceptional care of her, our guinea pigs, and fish. Very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. Will rebook with Gina and her daughter in the future!”
About: I have been a rescuer of pets (dogs, mostly) for the entirety of my life! Dogs, cats, chickens, birds, fish, rabbits, ducks, goats, lambs to name a few. I cannot imagine my life without pets! I would be honored if you trusted me with your fur-babies. I am about to retire, and am looking forward to doing something I've always dreamed of. I am looking forward making your time away easier for you both! I love animals. This should be a grand time! In the morning and evening it will be feed and play time. I will spend time petting and talking to your pet and send you pics and updates, daily or more..
“Jamie did a great job! She took great care of all our pets while we were out of town. Her notes are detailed and she kept us up to date about our girls. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I will keep families updated, send pictures of their fur babies, and provide great care! I have experience with pets of all backgrounds- including those who face health challenges, and can assure every family that their loved ones are in good hands. Price ranges depending on what you need and how far you live :) I work a very part-time job, but am very open even during the days I do work. A shift usually looks like 12-6pm, or 5-9pm. So, I visit before or after work. If house-sitting then I will go to work from the house, and back to the house! My 2 dogs at home are diabetic/epileptic, so I am familiar with keeping pets in a routine. My dogs are on a strict medication schedule, and I am familiar with giving medicines and foods twice a day. They are let outside whenever they want, get cuddles all the time, exercise and play together a lot. I don’t board animals at my house, due to my dogs and their health.
“Amy was absolutely wonderful checking in on our golden doodle for 4 days! We had a last minute booking and she was accommodating, quick to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet immediately! Hazel adored her, she sent great pictures and we loved that we could trust everything would be great when we got home!!! Highly recommend Amy!!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life! We had a family dog when I was growing up and I would house/ pet sit for my neighbors when they would go out of town. I currently have three fur babies. A 2 year old Cane Corso/ Stafford Terrier named Moose, a 2 year old pit bull mix named Oakley and a cat named Romeo! Having three animals under one roof has been quite the experience but I’ve loved every moment of the chaos. Since I currently work from home full time I’m available Monday- Sunday most weeks and my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Working from home allows me to keep a close eye on your baby and adhere to whatever potty break or play schedule you have set.
About: I have 1 dog and 1 cat at home. I used to volunteer at animal shelter and am currently helping animal rescue agency for fostering dogs. I don’t keep too many pets at home so the pets will get my individual attentions and plenty of rooms to play. My dog also loves paw friends coming over. I’m have experience with caring puppies, from weeks to months. I grow up with dogs and very familiar with their behaviors. I am very patient with them and love to have them around. And I do this sitter simply out of my personal hobby, me and my dog will have more fun with more animals around. I work from home, so I will keep them inside the house, and give them frequent water and potty breaks. I have an huge backyard that dogs can roam around. And my dog loves to play with other dogs, so I will give them enough time to play. And they will have my individual attention since I don’t keep too many dogs the same time. I will take them for a walk during the day if they are easy on leash. I have a very huge backyard they can run around, at home we have dog chews, snacks, dog couches and toys to play. They will be monitored and enjoy their time at my place.
“Jaci was amazing! So sweet to talk with and very attentive with any requests. It was my first time leaving my boy at home for an extended time and I felt confident leaving him in her hands. All of the photos and videos sent back were so cute and was a highlight every day to see<3”
“Leah is the BEST!! She took such good care of my kitties, even administered meds for one of them, and kept the litter box and eating areas so clean!! Will use her every time I can!! ❤️”
About: I'm a stay at home mom of 3 amazing & beautiful kiddos! I love animals and I can cuddle them just as much as I cuddle my kids! We have one dog and her name is Lucy. She’s a rescued greyhound! I have been looking for a little side job to do while doing my other job as a stay at home mom. Dog walking seems like it would be a great fit! Dog walks fit perfectly into my day! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and love helping pups stay active, happy, and healthy. I focus on dog walking only, making sure each pup gets a lot of exercise, fresh air, potty breaks, and plenty of tail-wagging fun and attention.
“I have never had anyone watch my two girls besides family before, so I was extremely hesitant and nervous about having anyone else watch them. Karen was great! We met before I completed the booking, and she got to meet the girls. Karen helped ease my nerves with her communication for during and after the visits. I am very happy with the service she provided. I would highly recommend Karen if you are looking for someone to care for your fur babies. Karen, thank you again! I was able to enjoy my time away without having to worry about my babies.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was a small child. I am very good with dogs and know how to manage even the jumpers, growlers, and hissers. I’ve always had an innate ability to bond with animals. I’m very punctual and detailed oriented. I truly care for animals and their owners. I’ve cleaned up pee, torn up dog beds so owners would not have to come home to it, and gave lots of love and belly rubs. I work Monday through Friday but my hours vary. I’m available at lunch I am able to take flexible lunch breaks. I’m home most weekends because I’m taking online classes, so walks are a nice break for me. I’m available every afternoon for the most part. I do not have any pets of my own. I have a few fish. I have a condo and two dog parks in walking distance, countless parks and an off leash dog park I like to go to. I’m a smoke free home.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young! Dogs, cats, fish, & rabbits. You name it! With a family that traveled a lot they relied on me heavily to take care of our fur friends while they were gone. I first started Rover in San Diego and now I’m here in Houston! I’m a dog mom myself to my German Shepard named Rocky who is 5 now! While being in San Diego I had the privilege of working at a Top Rated Dog Daycare for almost 5 years before making my move to Texas! While working there I was able to expand my knowledge deeper on dog behaviors and dog handling. With of course knowledge on feedings, medication administration, dog walking, bathing, etc! I currently have my own business where I work from home on my phone which gives me the ability to be very flexible! My only obligation is I go to Church on Sundays! I’m currently accepting dog sitting in my own home now that I live in an apartment again! I also can dog sit in homes, but acceptance may vary depending on if I can arrange someone to watch my dog or if bringing my dog to your home is allowed! Aside from that, I will abide by whatever rules and schedules owners have set out for their furry pets!
About: I am a pet lover. I can take care of your dog and provide playtime during the day. I am graduated from Veterinary Medicine School at the UCLA - Venezuela and I have 16 years experience with pets and farm animals. Also, I can administer medication and first aid in case of any emergency. I think any pet is an important part of the family and they deserve full attention and a comfortable atmosphere. I live in a comfortable house with easy access from I-10 and they can go out to my big backyard anytime during the day since I work from home. All my boarding pets are welcome by my family, my 2 kids (7 and 17) and my husband are pets lovers as well so, your pet will be in good hands. They are cage free around the house and they are allowed in beds. I board up to 4 dogs at a time. I have a fenced yard and front and back doors both have extra security to avoid the small kids easily open. Also, I live in a quiet neighborhood. I will send pictures during the stay. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your furry friend. A typical day starts around 6:30 - 7am with potty time followed by breakfast. Next, they can take a sunbathing during 20 minutes and play outside for a while. During the day, they can watch tv or play either inside or outside. Potty breaks are every 2-4 hours or when needed, 1 treat a day. Then, afternoon walk, dinner and bed routine around 8 - 9pm. I have a fenced yard and they are never unsupervised when they are outside. I have cameras outside and inside the house and I keep their collars and name tags at all times.
“Bianca is EXCELLENT!! She is trustworthy and consistent. We have used her twice now, once for a very extended period of time, and once for a short trip. We will continue to book her every time we need a dog sitter!”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Katy is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Katy
Allison dropped in on Kobe for multiple days while I was commuting in and out of town for a work event. She responded quickly and was flexible. She followed directions and gave great updates and photos during the check-ins. We would definitely use her again in the future!
We were so lucky to have found Marisol as a back up to our other Rover sitter. We have used her twice and have her scheduled for two more visits. She read and followed the instructions in our dogs profile and even brought in a package for us! Our dog was happy when I arrived home from work!
This was our first time using Rover in years, and Bailey made the whole experience seamless. She was so kind, attentive, and communicative — keeping us updated quickly and often. We loved all the photos and updates she sent, which really put us at ease while we were away. Our pups absolutely adored her, and she followed every instruction with care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Thank you, Bailey! 😊
Anaya was great to work with. Very happy with picking her for my one pup while I was gone. Faith was very well taken care of, I was kept up to date and she worked with my schedule with zero complaints. From all the pictures its easy to tell faith was extremely happy with her car taker and I %100 reccomend for anyone needing a reassuring/attentive sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Katy stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Katy choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Katy with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
