“Very kind, and so flexible and understanding! She is always on time, so accommodating, and my cats are always eager to see her. I love getting update photos from her visit because it is so very obvious the kitties look forward to seeing her.”
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.
“Kelly was professional and dependable. She communicated quickly and followed all requested in structures. I also appreciate how prompt and on time Kelly was. I would definitely use her to watch my pup again!”
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 am completely devoted to my own French Bulldog fur baby I’m his biggest fan! 🐾 So, I understand just how important our fur babies are to us, which is why I want to extend the same love and care I give mine to yours! I have hands-on experience with daily walks, timely feedings, bathing, administering medication, and providing attentive, loving care. Also, I grew up with dogs my entire life which is why I decided to get my own later into adulthood. Currently the go to pet sitter for my family! Every pet has their own unique personality, which I’m very familiar with as a Frenchie mom! 🤣 I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs, personality, and routine. Allow me to care for your fur baby so you can have peace of mind and truly enjoy your time away, knowing they’re in loving hands. And don’t worry, they’ll enjoy their time too! ❤️ I work from home, which allows me to be with your pup all day and I also have a consistent routine for my own frenchie. I’m available for morning walks and drop-in visits before my workday, with additional availability on most weekends. Your pup will have plenty of time outdoor for breaks, walks, and play. I only accept bookings when I know I can give your fur baby the time and attention they deserve! Safety, comfort, and trust are very important to me.

I love sending picture updates so you’ll know your pet is happy and you can have a peace of mind.
“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: I have been looking after dogs and cats for more than fifteen years and love all animals! My church family and neighbors often ask me to housesit for them because I am reliable and go above and beyond for their pets. I have extensive experience with all different dog and cat breeds and sizes, both old and young. I have experience with animals with special needs, like diabetes or anxiety medication. I keep your pets in their routine to minimize any distress and keep you updated about what we are up to. I’m a writer who works remotely. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can keep your pet’s usual routine going while you’re away. Whether that’s walks, overnights, or hanging out with them during the day, I here to make your life easier knowing your pets are safe and looked after. I always follow pet parents’ instructions exactly when it comes to a pet’s routine and safety needs, as well as making sure your home remains secure and your pet has a great time.
About: I've had fur babies over a span of 30 years, from young adulthood to my married life. 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’m retired and available for lots of play time, walks, and cuddles. I’m available for boarding or drop-ins anytime of the week with advance notice. 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.
“Vanessa was amazing! Very thorough in all her details and keeping us informed on how the dogs were doing! I knew from our first meeting I felt 100% comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She was so sweet and our dogs got LOTS of loving while we were gone!”
“Yilin watched our 3 cats for almost 2 weeks. She did a fantastic job. She arrived on time, took mat pictures and videos of our cats, and brought in packages left for us. She played with the cats and kept their litter and food area very clean. She is very friendly and cared for our babies as if they were her own. I would definitely hire Yilin again the next time we have to travel!”
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 love being with different animals especially dogs. I have one of my own and she’s is just precious. I love making sure they are loved and well cared for. I will make sure they are loved and that they have a great time with me I’m very flexible with my schedule. As long as I know when and where to go to take care of your little fur baby. I have a huge yard and extra kennels as well. We love having other dogs here since ours can hang out and play ball together.
About: I will keep families updated, send pictures of their fur babies, and provide great care! I have experience with pets of all backgrounds- including those who face health challenges, and can assure every family that their loved ones are in good hands. Price ranges depending on what you need and how far you live :) I work a very part-time job, but am very open even during the days I do work. A shift usually looks like 12-6pm, or 5-9pm. So, I visit before or after work. If house-sitting then I will go to work from the house, and back to the house! My 2 dogs at home are diabetic/epileptic, so I am familiar with keeping pets in a routine. My dogs are on a strict medication schedule, and I am familiar with giving medicines and foods twice a day. They are let outside whenever they want, get cuddles all the time, exercise and play together a lot. I don’t board animals at my house, due to my dogs and their health.
About: Hi! My name's Caty and I've lived most of my life with at least one pet or another. I've got a senior puggle, a Blue Heeler, a healthy flock of 5 chickens, and an unruly toddler at my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've always loved animals, sometimes more than people. I will cuddle your cuddlers, work your workers, judge with your judgers, and play with your players. Every dog I meet is PUPPY!!! regardless of his/her age. When I lived in the Netherlands, the first Dutch phrase I learned was "mag ik je hond aien?" which means "can I pet your dog?" My husband would frequently lose me to dark alleys swarming with street cats. My love for animals knows no bounds. Please reach out! I'm ready give your pet the love and care they deserve. I am mostly a stay at home mom. My son goes to school two days a week so those are going to be my best days for care at YOUR house, but my husband works from home several days a week, so I can almost always make it work. I teach yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and that's only about 3hrs each day that I'm not available. I have a HUGE fenced in back yard. When I say huge, I mean our lot is a pie slice and it's WAYYY bigger in the back. I'm happy to play fetch or splash around in a kiddie pool or whatever your pet enjoys most. I'm also more than happy to come to your home and be whatever your pet needs in the moment. I have experience with senior dogs as well. If your pet needs medication, we keep a steady supply of pill pockets on hand for when the need arises. You name it, I can probably do it.
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.

Pet 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!
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!
Wonderful! My cat, who is scared of many was not scared of Tsz. She played with her and provided her with just the right meals. She gave my cat such wonderful care. When I got back from my vacation, my account was not stressed out, which was very unusual. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your animal pick Tsz. You will be glad you did.
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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 October 2026, there are 4,858 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
