“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!”
“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!”
“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 grown up around, and have always taken care of animals. I have even taken care of the neighbors pets. I believe all pets should be treated like family. I am a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to take care of, play with and love on your fur babies!!! I have 2 dogs I believe your pets safety comes first. I have 2 dogs of mine own and I know how protective I am over them. I promise I will do the same for your pet(s).
“Emily was absolutely amazing with taking care of my pups for the first time. It was both their first Rover experience and they were barking all about it with good things and happy photos. We hope to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Sydney was available last minute for Gunner and sent great photos and gave a detailed summery of their visit. I really appreciate that and sounds like Gunner had a great time with her.”
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!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life and love them with all my heart! After getting my newest puppy in my own home, I’ve been learning dog grooming to provide even better care. I’ll treat your pets like family and ensure they feel loved and happy while you’re away. I know how anxious I feel when I’m away from my pup and always feel grateful when I know he’s in the best hands, I’ve managed to potty train many dogs and I truly enjoy going on long walks with pets because they help me stay active in life and it’s so cute seeing how excited they get to explore the outside world! I do not have a set schedule so my availability changes but I would make sure to update it each time, a month in advance I have a very good read on a pet’s personality and once I understand that, I’m able to get an idea of what they need/want. All animals are unique and have different needs but an example is knowing that my highly energetic dog needs hour long walks so we go out and do that.
About: I’m 49 years old and have had the joy of caring for dogs throughout my life. I regularly babysit my neighbors’ dogs and genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. Because I work from home, I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog attention, companionship, and care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. Their day will include plenty of playtime, activity, outdoor time, and lots of love, with a comfortable balance of fun and relaxation. When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, secure, comfortable, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. I have a small terrier of my own who loves having a friend to play with, so your pup can have a built-in companion if they enjoy socializing with other dogs. I also have a spacious backyard where dogs can safely play and relax, plus a dog park nearby for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll take the time to learn what makes your dog feel at home—from their feeding schedule and favorite activities to their sleeping habits and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the way I would want someone to care for mine. You’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and make sure we’re a great fit!
“Ada is the absolute best. She took to all my animals right away even though she was here mainly for the kittens and their momma. I was out of state when my sister decided she would not do their care as promised, so I was so grateful to find Dad's. She came into my home cold and did great! She was communicative and I appreciates not having to fly home to get them! I highly recommended her and will definitely use her in the future.”
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.
“Jeanette is so warm with my dogs and adapts to each of their personalities. She’s very patient with my shy girl and playful and loving with my dogs that are ready for a new friend. Jeanette made going back to work much less stressful”
“Monic was an amazing cat sitter, and I highly recommend her! She arrived on time for every visit, completed all of the care tasks exactly as requested, and spent quality time playing with our cats, in stead of just stopping by to refill food and water and scoop the litter box. From our very first meet and greet, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals. She was so patient and kind with our cats, and they were comfortable with her right away. It made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands while we were away. She also kept us updated throughout the visits, and coming home to a sweet handwritten note was such a thoughtful touch. It really showed how much she cares about both the pets and their owners. Thank you so much, Monic, for taking such great care of our cats! We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and will definitely reach out the next time we need a sitter.”

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!
I just used Kimberly for the 1st time, and she was great! My very old cat was calm and happy the whole time I was away due to her exceptional care. She sent me a report card everyday with updates and pictures, giving me peace of mind that my old man was content and healthy. Highly recommend and will definitely re-book her!
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!
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!
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 Pet 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 4,861 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 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.
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.
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.
