“Alona really gave me peace of mind when I was out of town and she was taking care of my little boy! Her reports and pictures were very soothing to know that he was in good hands! I thank her so much!”

“June is, once again, the best when it comes to taking care of our animals! She’s incredibly communicative, sends the BEST photo updates, and always gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. She’s also very flexible with scheduling and extremely knowledgeable. Her experience and problem solving skills really stand out she’s proactive, quick to notice anything that seems off, and always communicates any concerns right away. If an issue ever comes up, she’s already thinking through solutions to make sure your pet stays healthy and comfortable. We trust June completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares for your pets as if they were her own, she’s the one to book.”

“Cortney was great. On time and did everything she said she and then some. Loved all of our cats and took fantastic care of them. Great communication and very proactive.”

“Sofi was amazing as usual! We enjoyed our holiday and time away, knowing that our dogs were in good hands. She is great about communicating to make sure we stay informed while we are gone. Our dogs love her! She will continue to be our go to dog sitter whenever we leave town!”

About: Hello my name is Katherine - I go by Katy I’ve been privately pet sitting on and off for almost two decades. I am currently taking a break from my career and have plenty of time on my hands to do what I love, which is care for animals I enjoy walking small dogs, big dogs, strong pullers, slow walkers, avid sniffers, all of them. I am adult & child/infant CPR certified by the Red Cross and am confident I could provide care to a pet in critical condition while remaining calm if needed. I have a bachelors degree in teaching and learning from U of H. I know that doesn’t matter here for the cats and dogs — just worth mentioning. My rates are open to discussion let’s book a walk or a drop in visit; I look forward to hearing from you! I am available to visit clients homes during the working day (weekdays and weekends) to provide walks or potty breaks to pets. We can discuss what you and your pets need and make it work! I follow the clients’ instructions to care for their pets with the same kindness, love, and care I provide my own pets while respecting your wishes.
“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!”

“We were so happy Ana was able to bond with our dogs. One is particularly difficult, but she did such a great job! Appreciated all the photos and updates and extra care during stressful fireworks. Will definitely have Ana again!”

“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 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.”
“Karina was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough. Princess is an extremely shy dog who rarely trusts new people, and it is not easy at all to win her over. In the past, many sitters have struggled with her, and some have even given up, so finding someone like Karina has been a huge relief for me. Karina was incredibly patient, calm, and clearly very experienced with dogs. She truly went above and beyond to earn Princess’s trust at Princess’s own pace. It takes someone with real skill, understanding, and confidence around dogs to handle Princess the right way, and Karina did exactly that. Knowing Princess was in such capable and caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. I am so grateful that I found Karina, and she will absolutely be the first person I reach out to whenever I need help going forward. I look forward to working with her regularly because it is truly hard to find someone this dependable, skilled, and caring. If you have a shy, nervous, or challenging dog, I would recommend Karina without hesitation. She is outstanding.”

“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!”


About: I’ve always loved caring for my family’s and friends dogs! Being their designated sitter for any travel they did, I have plenty of experience with all size dogs! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend loving on your pups! I’ll be able to do walks and drop ins on a regular basis. I’m comfortable crating your dog if needed and happy to play with them. I have experience taking care of dogs with health complications so I’m comfortable giving medication if needed. If your dog is reactive I’m open to talking about it so we can see if we’re a match!
“We had Leila check in on our cats while we were out of town and she is awesome! Very good communication throughout everything and followed all of our instructions to a T. She is awesome! Will definitely book with her again!”

About: Dogs are wonderful companions with so much love to give. They truly become part of the family, and each one has a unique personality that makes them special! Whether your dog is staying in our home, enjoying a walk, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always the same—to provide loving, dependable care so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. For boarding guests, a typical day is active, playful, and full of attention. Our children absolutely love the furry friends who stay with us, so it's important that your pup is comfortable around kids, too. While you're away, your dog won't simply be boarded—they'll become part of our family's daily routine. Whether we're heading to the park, going for a walk, or spending time together at home, your pup will be right there with us. If you've booked dog walks or in-home pet care, you can rest assured your pet will receive the same thoughtful attention. I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, affection, and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for until you're back home. To help every guest feel comfortable, I do have a few house rules for boarding. Dogs are not allowed on the couches or beds, but they certainly won't miss out on affection! We happily spend plenty of time on the floor giving belly rubs, cuddles, and lap time whenever they want extra love. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog will be welcomed, cared for, and treated like one of our own. After caring for many dogs, I've learned that keeping things simple and maintaining excellent hygiene creates the best experience for everyone. Before your dog's stay, please consider the following: Bring your dog's leash and harness. Pack enough food for the entire stay, along with their food bowl. Please bring plenty of poop bags. We enjoy frequent walks, and all that exercise often means more potty breaks than usual! When it comes to toys, blankets, and other personal belongings, less is often better. Dogs sharing a home can sometimes become protective of their favorite items, so packing lightly helps create a calmer and safer environment for everyone. If possible, please bathe your dog before boarding. Freshly bathed dogs are more comfortable for themselves and the other guests. Also, keep in mind that blankets, beds, and toys can hold odors if they haven't been washed recently. Thank you for taking the time to review these guidelines. I truly appreciate your help in making every pet's experience safe, clean, and enjoyable. Whether your companion is staying with us, enjoying a walk, or being cared for at home, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Safe travels! Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. In my home, pets become part of the household and are cared for just like my own—following our natural rhythm of meals, walks, playtime, rest, and evening wind-down with consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. For check-ins and home visits, I plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring timely visits for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I make sure each visit is unrushed and focused, maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority. I provide a loving, family environment with daily walks, supervised play in our fenced dog park, and a secure gated indoor area when needed. For check-ins and home visits, I ensure timely, attentive care with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship to keep your pet comfortable and on routine while you’re away.
“The dogs and I love Jennifer! Thanks so much for coming and taking great care of our dogs. We have had such an amazing experience with Jennifer and can’t wait to have her back again.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal pet care, helping family and friends, and being around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, loving, and dependable, and I truly enjoy making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and of course, plenty of belly rubs. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get love, attention, and a little extra spoiling while their owner is away. Since I work from home, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets attention throughout the day, whether that means walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m available for care during the week and on weekends, and I love being able to make pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I live in a great, pet-friendly community with a big backyard, a nearby park, and walking trails for safe walks and outdoor time. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for based on their normal routine and personality. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll treat them with patience, love, and respect. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep owners updated and make sure they feel confident that their pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Katy
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!

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! 😊

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.
