About: Hello! I’ve always had dogs in my life since childhood. Let me know what you need! :) I’m pretty flexible and available on the weekends. I’m off on the weekends and Friday afternoons. So let me know if that fits what you need and we can plan it. Thank you! I have a fenced in yard and have no other pets at the moment. I’m also available to come to you on the weekends or Friday afternoons.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 2 years of experience working at a dog hotel and another 2 years at an animal hospital, where I cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or just relax, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and quality care while you’re away. I work morning shifts, so I’m available before work and most afternoons and evenings. I also typically have every other day off, giving me full-day availability. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can often accommodate last-minute requests when possible! My work schedule is consistent, and I’ll always communicate my availability in advance to ensure your pets receive reliable, attentive care. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. With 2 years of experience working at a dog hotel and 2 years at an animal hospital, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I respect each home as if it were my own and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication with pet parents. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, and my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I’ve had animals all my life from cats to dogs to ferrets. I truly am an animal lover. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter training and walking dogs. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I am pretty available. During the school year I am available on weeknights and weekends but can be flexible. I live in an apartment with a beautiful walking trail right next to it. I put the animals needs first and will do whatever I need to.
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 will provide a loving environment for your pet. My daughter and I live in an apartment with nearby parks perfect for walking a dog and fetching balls. We love playing and taking care of your dog. I’ll feed your dog on schedule and adminster any medication if required. My 10 year old daughter loves animals especially dogs and enjoys playing with them and helping me with the care of the animal. We will make your dog feel at home. I will provide a place for your dog to sleep or you can bring a kennel or a bed, whatever you desire. Also I will brush and groom your pet. Your pet will be safe in my home and in my care. Overall, your pet will be loved and will feel very happy in my home in your absence.
“Aleena followed the cats care instructions to a tee 👌🏽. My cats probably like her more than me 😅. She was so sweet to them. I was grateful to find someone like her to watch over them during my trip. Will book again!”
“Stephanie was great! She understood how shy my cat was and did her best to make him comfortable and hang out! She was great with communication and got all the tasks I asked done! Thanks again Stephanie!”
“Reyna was awesome! This was the first time I left my babies with someone other than family and she was great. My dog can be stubborn and my cats are a nightmare to feed and she did an awesome job! Would not hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Camryn is wonderful! She is patient, loving, and very knowledgeable about cats. She took the time to understand their individual personalities and needs, and I truly appreciated her gentle and caring approach. Her knowledge and professionalism gave me confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend Camryn to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about cats and understands their behavior!”
“Metzli has been taking care of our three large dogs for several years. She’s just the best! The dogs love her, she some how gets the best picture updates, and she’s always reliable.”

About: I have taken care of my own dog and 3 cats for multiple years. I pet sat for my friend's pets and my mom’s boss’s cats. I don’t just take care of the animals but I love to try to bond with them. I am calm and know the signs of pets for their emotions besides the basic ones most people know. I go to high school so I can usually take longer care of your pets after school (2:35). If mornings are needed, I can only do as late as 7:30 am. I can do any time on weekends and over summer. I stay in the guest spaces of the household that I am allowed in (living room, kitchen, backyard, etc). I play with the pets to make sure they’re not emotionally neglected. I make sure they’re fed and medications are taken care of. I stay for the amount of time an owner would like me to stay or however long it takes to make sure their pet is properly taken care of.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Katy
Stephanie took wonderful care of my pets! She was caring, responsible, and attentive to their needs. I felt comfortable knowing they were in such good hands while I was away. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Jenna was absolutely amazing with Hammi! She was so caring, attentive, and reliable during the drop-in visits, and we could tell from all the pictures and updates that Hammi was really comfortable and happy with her. 🐶❤️ It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the time, care, and love she gave him. We would definitely recommend Jenna and would love to have her look after Hammi again!
We had such a great experience with her watching our two dogs! She was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and clearly cared for them like they were her own. She went above and beyond for our dogs in every way, including advocating for Cash and making sure his best interests were always the priority when dealing with a third party. That meant so much to us and really showed how seriously she takes the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pets. Both of our dogs came home happy, healthy, and very clearly well-loved. She kept us updated, was responsive whenever we needed her, and handled everything with so much care and attention. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, caring, and willing to go the extra mile for your pets, I can’t recommend her enough!
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!
We had a great experience with Madeline! She took wonderful care of our three dogs and made the whole process stress free. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept us updated regularly and was always quick to respond. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands.
Ashlyn is the best ever! Our dog, Zelda, immediately fell in love with her and she is generally a very shy puppy. She takes the perfect photos of our baby and makes sure that all Zelda’s needs are met. I highly recommend Ashlyn! She is very professional and i’m glad that we have her to give our Zelda some love!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Katy is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 4,731 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Katy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Katy. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
