“Just can’t say enough good things about Jamie. She’s been a godsend with our elderly dog Annie. Gentle, compassionate caregiver AND gives lots of exercise and attention to our more active dog Bella. They both love having Jamie come feed and play with them. We know they’re so much happier at home than at a kennel.”

I continue to care for many pets for our friends and family and treat them as our own, providing special love and attention. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart and we understand their need for extra gentleness and care. I will keep your fur baby safe and look forward to meeting them.

I have a fenced yard and/or can crate your fur baby anytime if needed. I will care for and protect your pets as if they are our own.
“Felicia was amazing with my 2 big dogs! She was available for a last minute booking when my sitter plans fell through. She was so sweet and sent picture updates, even got my pups some treats. I felt at ease knowing they were well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”
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.
“We had used the in-home visit service with Besima three times now and she had provided wonderful care for our cat Eddy. Besima is very reliable and thorough in taking care of our cat. We definitely will use her service again in the future.”
“I was so happy to have Leah stop in and take care of our pups. She met them ahead of time and made sure she understood what we needed done. We hired her at the last minute and she was very flexible. One of our dogs is super scared of everyone and she did great with Leah! I will definitely hire again without hesitation.”
“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.”

“Lily was pleasant and thorough at the meet and greet. She took notes and asked questions to ensure that all would go smoothly while we were away. She also spent quality time with our cat, Mocha (aside from feeding and scooping litter box). She followed instructions well and I didn’t have to worry while I was away (overseas). I can tell that Lily takes pride in her work and is trustworthy. I’m happy I found her and will definitely book with her again! Would recommend her to anyone with a dog or a cat. Very catified customer! ??”
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
