About: I grew up with dogs. I started walking/pet sitting at a young age. I have been a vet tech for 6 years now. So I am very familiar with the care of our precious fur babies. I work 3, 12 hour shifts a week. So on my off days I have a lot of time on my hands for drop in visits or walks! Living in Texas it is extremely hot outside. My own pups have long fur. They are only allowed for walks early in the morning or in the evening. As a vet tech, I’ve seen plenty of heat strokes. I want my babies and yours to be safe. We spend a lot of time inside, playing, food puzzles to keep them busy!
About: I have been an animal person since I was a child. Had all sorts of pets from cats, dogs, fish, birds, and even reptiles (Except snakes!) I currently work from home and my job doesn't require me to sit down on the computer for long periods of time. I have all the time taking care and watching over your fur babies! I have a single level home with fence all around the yard. Fenced backyard without any obstacles that may harm your pets. Cats stays indoor always.
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life, and I currently have three cats! I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge, where I cared for 30+ cats at a time. I’ve also volunteered with animals and have experience caring for pets with many different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love taking the time to understand each pet and make them feel comfortable! I’m currently planning to start college online, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I’m able to offer plenty of one-on-one attention, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and consistency they’re used to! I have lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs, including 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge and years of pet sitting for family, friends, and others. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and patience while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!
About: Hello pet lovers! I am glad to be a part of the Rover Family. I can’t wait to get a chance to meet more pets along my journey here. I am a 47 year old energetic fun and friendly individual. I love animals no doubt!! I have several at home including cats, dogs, chickens, cows, lambs, etc. I take care of all of them in which I spoil. They all get their own special attention along with exercise and treats. I’m a big fan of exercise and health and don’t believe it’s only people that need this type of service. I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer as well and love to see an animal walking with their owners. I praise people for exercising their animals because these precious babies are also prone to heart disease and other chronic health problems. Please help me help u make your animal happy + healthy! I choose my pricing compared to others based on the quality of service that I will provide to your animal. I assure you that they will be in the best hands and well taken care of under my watch. Thank you for your time and looking forward to meeting you and your pet. Warm regards, Andrea W. Monday - Friday. I am very flexible and can work around your schedule if it’s necessary. Times can also vary. Having a verbal conversation on the phone works best. It’s hard to compare myself to anyone else on this site however, I know my own work ethic and know what I’m capable and worthy of.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with my parrot I’ve had since I was 8, along with growing up with cats and a dog. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, becoming someone they trust to care for their pets like my own. I have experience with cats, dogs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with a good understanding of pet behavior. I also provide updates and follow all care instructions to make sure both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that I manage myself. On weekdays, I’m typically available after 5 PM, and on weekends after 6–7 PM. I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays. I always make time to prioritize the pets in my care and can accommodate consistent routines, drop-ins, walks, or extended visits as needed. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to best fit your pet’s schedule and needs. I create a calm, safe, and loving space where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. At home, I have one cat who is very well cared for and enjoys a relaxed, free-roaming environment. When caring for your pet, I treat them like my own—keeping their routine consistent, following your instructions closely, and making sure they feel secure and stress free. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
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.
“Carole is one of the best Rovers. Takes such good care of our girls. We have hired her many times and will continue to hire her! Highly recommended. Our biggest fear is that she gets too busy and can’t help us :)”
About: I have grown up a dog lover and when my daughter decided she wanted to be a vet, I became more than a dog lover but an overall, animal lover. I will take care of your animal as if it is my own and be sure to communicate relevant and important information to you as soon as possible. I provide a loving home if you animal(s) need overall care and am respectful of homes if you just need drop in service. It is also important to me to clean up after pets and if only doing dog walking services, to make sure they have had a good walk and a bit of exercise. I want you to receive value for your hard earned money.Love is my language, let me talk to your pets! We love pets! I am currently working from home so your pets will not be left unattended except for an occasional errand run and even then it will be no more than 1-2 hours, if that. I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys and love to give your beloved pet. We can also crate animals as needed and can play soothing bedtime music at night for their comfort.

About: I’ve cared for cats for over two years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m new to Rover but very responsible, patient, and eager to give your pets the same love and attention I’d give my own. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m a fast learner and confident handling both cats and dogs, always making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a student but I have M-F off so my schedule stays organized and reliable. I am available for pet sitting, house sitting, walks, or drop-in visits. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care during my available hours. I treat every client’s home and pet with respect and care. I make sure pets stay on their routine, get plenty of love and attention, and I send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease. My goal is to make your time away stress free , for both you and your pet.
“I appreciated Paulin's quick action and availability to visit my dog at such short notice. She had great communication, professionalism, and sweetness towards my dog. Looking forward to booking Paulin again.”


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.

About: I genuinely feel immense joy around fur babies!! I’ve helped take care of a few dogs for friends and I have a cat I own and take care of at home. I have experience in walking, feeding and pet sitting. Very communicative providing updates to owners with pictures to keep them informed. 19 years of experience with cats and 2 years of experience with dogs. My schedule is pretty open! Worked for my previous company for 11+ years and currently working on my own business, but my calendar on the app is updated. I will communicate with owners regarding availability if messages are recieved, very responsive. I listen to the owner and what the pets needs are to ensure that I’m 100% available to the well being and care of the pet. I’m always attentive, ask any important questions and check to make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable around me.
“Kylie did a wonderful job dropping in on our cats during our week long trip! We met beforehand and she made sure we were comfortable. She really paid careful attention to detail—disposed all litter and food cans so I didn’t come home to a stinky mess. Swept up scattered litter, and even took care of the trash bins. Over the years we’ve had friends and family members, and sometimes paid neighbor kids to watch our cats while we’re gone. This is by far the best experience for all! Thank you so so much!! We will definitely be booking other visits with you in the future.”


About: Caring for animals isn't just something I do it's something I truly love. It all started with my first job as a dog bather, where I learned how to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. That passion grew into earning my Veterinary Assistant license in high school, followed by two years of hands on experience as a Kennel Technician first at a boarding facility, then at a veterinary clinic caring for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Let's set up a meet and greet so I can start spoiling your pet! 🐶🐱 I’m currently freelancing, which means I have plenty of availability for daily walks, drop-in visits, and home care the perfect way for your pet to get all the attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away! 🐾 I'll keep your dog or cat's routine steady with feeding, playtime, and lots of love, while your home stays clean and cozy. I'll send photos and videos along the way, so you always have a little smile waiting for you. 🐾📸💕
About: As a former doggy daycare worker and someone who has taken care of two cats all of my life and two golden retrievers for the last 3 years, I’m the perfect fit to become your pet’s new bestie! With experience in giving medication to animals, and plenty of play time and walking experience, I’m fully equipped to handle any new task that comes my way. I can’t wait to meet your dog (or cat!) At the moment I work two jobs. I work at a medical rehabilitation facility on Saturday/Sunday 8-5 every weekend, with an hour in between (where I would be able to check in on your pup!) I also work around 12-5 Mon-Thurs, but these days are more flexible. Ideally, I’d prefer bookings with pups who are able to be at home by themselves for a few hours during the day! I will treat your home and pet supplies with the utmost respect. As your pet’s caretaker, whether it be to give them some playtime, cuddles, or just food or a walk, I promise to value your space like it’s my own.
About: Animals are a huge part of my life, and I will treat your pet like they are my own. My priorities are keeping them safe, well cared for, and given lots of attention. As a retired firefighter, I have been tasked with helping others and will do the same for your pet! I will pick up and deliver for your pet for a $10 fee. After 10+ years of fire fighting, taking care of pets has become my full time job. 100% of my focus is on caring for your pet and ensuring they are safe and well cared for in your absence. My home is very pet-friendly. I have a backyard/deck where I can sit with your animals as they enjoy the outdoors. My yard is fenced and well-secured. I have plenty of toys/balls that I can provide your pet with exercise and stimulation.

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!

She took wonderful care of our dog Mambo! We usually have had family care for our elderly dog while we are gone. They have been unable to lately and so we decided to find a sitter. We were very nervous as he has arthritis and is just a nervous dog sometimes. We felt so comfortable and happy on our trip knowing he was in good hands! He was comfortable in our own home, and she came to the house as scheduled for the full time. She sent us detailed messages with photos. We are very happy and plan to rebook. Thank you!!! 😊

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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Katy is $21 per visit as of October 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 of October 2026, there are 4,726 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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

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 , 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.
