“5+++ We think Courtney is fantastic. She takes excellent care of our seven animals. Our two cats, two dogs and four exotics all have special instructions which she follows to the letter. She sends photos and summaries every morning and night when she visits. We will always have Courtney as our first choice for our animal care when we are away.”
About: Having provided hands on care for animals starting at age 13, I bring over five years of personal experience and one of learning to every visit. My passion for animal welfare has led me to actively study veterinary medicine and earn professional credentials in both Elanco Fundamentals of Animal Science and Elanco Veterinary Medical Applications. This background allows me to understand small animal health, attentive care for pets of all ages, read subtle body language, and spot minor changes in well being before they become big issues. Whether that means managing high energy puppies or giving gentle, patient attention to senior dogs. When your pet is with me, they aren't just getting a walk they're getting knowledgeable, family level care. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy doing alongside my full time work. By setting aside two full days a week specifically for pet sitting and dog walking, I can focus completely on your small pets and provide calm, reliable care without feeling rushed. I provide care exclusively in your home so your small pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. During every visit, I prioritize safety by keeping spaces secure, strictly following house rules and your established routine, giving your pet calm, dedicated attention.
“Will always leave a fabulous review for Amy because she is absolutely incredible! Our dog adores her, and we won’t take a trip without making sure Amy is free first to watch her!! She gives us so much peace of mind, has great communication with us the entire time, and is so so good with animals!!”
About: I’m a professional pet groomer with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I provide loving, attentive care, including walks, daycare, feeding, playtime, nail trims, bathing, brushing, and professional grooming. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same care I give my own pets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. My professional experience working with pets allows me to provide responsible, loving, and personalized care. I adapt to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I am available Monday through Friday after 2:00 p.m., as well as on weekends. To me, every pet deserves the same love and attention they would receive at home. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment, along with a fully fenced yard. I have professional experience caring for and handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. Each pet receives personalized attention, supervision, and plenty of love. I can also follow their routines, special instructions, and rest needs to help them feel comfortable and right at home..
“Ariel is great! Super sweet with our senior dog and took great care of him during daily check ins. He got a lot of pets, scritches and brushing. We would absolutely use Ariel 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..
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and rabbits since I was young. I have experience with providing oral medications, insulin shots, and kitten care for cats of all ages. Before relocating to Katy, TX this year I had a small clientele I would frequently cat & dog sit for including occasional overnights. I would be more than willing to provide testimonials if requested! I currently work Monday-Friday 8-5 as a front desk receptionist. I am enrolled in Dental Assisting school and have a five hour lab on Saturday afternoons. A typical day for me would be Morning 7am & Evening 6pm drop-ins for your cat. Overnights and house sits I would be present at the home at all times aside from my 8-5 work day. I have two cats that I adore completely that are indoor only & I do have a fully covered catio for them to enjoy the nice weather! I have experience with both hyperactive and shy dogs and feel comfortable with crating, walking, feeding, etc.
About: Hi, this is Monika! I'm a DevOps Engineer by profession and a pet lover by passion. I work from home full-time, which means your furry friend won't be left alone-ever. During any Rover booking, I don't plan outings or time away. Your pet will have my full attention, care, and companionship all day long. I’m a proud pet parent. My two Shih Tzus are my whole world, and I know exactly how much your furry family means to you. That’s why when you trust me with your pup, I treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and genuine care. I work 100% remotely, which means your dog will get my full attention throughout the day. No rushing out the door. No leaving them alone for hours. Just all-day playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and cozy companionship. I have a big, secure backyard where they can safely stretch their legs, sniff around, or enjoy a little sun—and if your pup loves walks, I’m happy to take them out for some fresh air and tail-wagging adventure. One thing I want you to know upfront—dogs are never crated here unless they’re already trained and prefer it that way. And they’ll never be left outside other than potty breaks. In fact, they’ll sleep right next to me, just like my own pups do—safe, warm, and snuggled up. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, even for a short while. That’s why I send regular photo and message updates, so you always know how they’re doing. You’ll see the joy on their faces, the comfort in their eyes, and feel at ease knowing they’re in a space filled with love and care. Many pet parents who’ve left their pups with me say it feels like a doggy resort—calm, clean, and full of affection. I keep my home spotless, not just because it matters to me, but because your pet deserves a safe, cozy, and hygienic environment. Here’s the thing—this isn’t just a side gig for me. It’s my passion. Every dog I welcome into my home becomes part of my heart. The time, energy, and love I give far exceed what you’ll ever see on a price tag. Because to me, this isn’t about money. It’s about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home—even when they’re away from you. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to care for your pup like family. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I work remotely full-time as a DevOps Engineer. I’m home all day, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present for the pets I care for—whether that’s letting them out for potty breaks, giving belly rubs between meetings, or taking them for a walk when they need a break (just like I do!). My mornings usually start with feeding and playtime, followed by some outside time in my secure backyard. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to check in with the pets—some cuddle time, a little fetch, or just hanging out together. Evenings are relaxed and cozy, with dinner, walks (if needed), and winding down together. At night, the pets sleep with me, so they’re never alone and always feel safe and loved. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, my schedule is built to keep your pet happy, engaged, and cared for around the clock. I don’t take on anything else when I have a booking—your pet becomes my full priority At my home, pets have full access to a clean, cozy, and safe space. I keep a consistent routine of feeding, walks, play, and downtime, and I'm always home, so they get my full attention.when I'm caring for your pet, I pour my heart into making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“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!”
“Katelyn was responsive and great with the pups. She did well to communicate and was able to be flexible with us when our schedule had changed. She was a great sitter for our pups!”
“Katie was fantastic! She was so kind and attentive to our cats, was very conscientious about cleaning the litter box and giving them fresh water. From all the photos she sent us, it was clear the cats enjoyed her company. We will definitely ask for Katie again and will recommend her to our friends and family.”
“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!”
“Sandy is the best!! She truly loves our dog Lulu and Lulu loves her! That gives us peace of mind when we are on vacation that Lulu is in such great hands! We have been lucky enough to have had Sandy every time we needed her for Lulu! She goes the extra mile, even by leaving us, cute picture, keychains, and refrigerator magnets of our sweet dog!”
“Kelly accepted our request on very short notice and took excellent care of our Golden Doodle. I am extremely grateful and think she did a great job. I would definitely hire her again if the opportunity comes up!”
“Madeline was amazing! They gave great updates, sent adorable pictures, and took such good care of Tank. I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Anaya did an amazing job watching our pets for the week! She took excellent care of all of them, including our cat, Bear, who has strict dietary needs and requires extra attention. We were relieved to come home and find him, along with the other pets, looking happy, healthy, and well cared for. She also kept our house clean and treated it with respect, so walking through the front door after a week away felt great. It's obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We had complete peace of mind while we were gone, and we wouldn't hesitate to book Anaya again. Highly recommend!”

Katie was amazing with our baby, no issues at all with communications and we felt at ease while being away with the regular updates and pictures! Our cat is very sweet, but particular about some things hehe, and Katie made her feel calm and safe. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for someone kind and responsible with your pet and home (:

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! 😊

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Katy on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Katy. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
