“Mandy did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my cat Pixie! 🐱 From the start, she was reliable, attentive, and clearly really cared about making Pixie feel comfortable and loved while I was away. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond she didn’t just handle the basics, she even deep cleaned the litter box when she changed the litter, which I truly appreciated. That kind of extra effort means a lot. I came home to a happy cat and everything in great shape. I would 100% recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 💛”

“We've hired Ken for house sitting our cat. He was very responsive and communicated everything with us. Since we were out of the country during this horrific heat wave, he was kind enough to water our yards for us. Ken sent us pictures and videos of our pet daily. I highly recommend Ken's services.”

About: I’ve taken care of all animals at a vet for 2 years! I love all animals and breeds. I help my mom take care of her 8 animals. Four dogs and four cats. I bathe, take care of their nails and walk them and love them. I’m currently on a hybrid work schedule so I have a lot of flexible time to take care of pets and show them the attention and love they need. Right now I am looking for a home but I can watch or walk animals to take care of their needs as needed soon hopefully to keep them as well as guests.

About: From Chinchillas to Chow chows, I have cared for them all both professionally and personally for over the last decade. Whether I need to administer medication or comfort during a thunderstorm storm, I’m happy to help your furry family member while you’re away. I work part-time right now and have a lot of extra time in between semesters at school. If your pet is comfortable with other dogs, I can also provide boarding at my home. I have a very sweet female dog at home who really enjoys company, dog or cat. If you would like your pet to stay at my home I have a shady and securely fenced yard as well. Your pet will also have their own space as my laundry room has been converted into a kennel area if they prefer their own space. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I have reliable transportation to make multiple visits daily, or if you prefer your pet to have constant company in home, extended stays are an option at your convenience and comfort level.

About: With five years of hands-on experience caring for family and neighborhood pets, I offer reliable and loving care. I am skilled at keeping animals happy, well-fed, and exercised while you are away. I treat every pet with the highest level of respect and specialized attention. I am highly available for pet care throughout the entire week and weekends, with the sole exception of Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM when I am away at my job. Outside of that short window and basic daily errands like grocery shopping, I am home and fully flexible to follow any schedule or routine your pet needs. Your pet will stay in a safe home featuring a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run. We also live in a community full of nature and walking trails. We are a pet-free home, but my four children have tons of love to give and look forward to playing with your fur babies. Owners will just need to provide their own crate, food, and necessary care materials.

“Kasyn was absolutely amazing. One of our cats is kind of shy but he warmed up to her quickly. Our cats are restricted to wet food only for dietary reasons so they have to be fed multiple times a day. Their dishes were always clean (better than I usually keep them 😀). She took excellent care of them and the house and went above and beyond by taking out the trash and washing the bedding before she left. We got tons of updates and pictures and our cats were so much happier and content when we got back from this vacation. We will definitely be having her house/cat sit in the future.”

About: I grew up with pets in my home and love animals of all kinds. I have experience pet setting/house sitting for cats and dogs of all sizes. I enjoy walking dogs because I love being active and outdoors! I have no problem at all cleaning up after your dog if he gets sick, or goes to the bathroom! I'm okay giving medications as needed. I'm great with feeding and giving water. I have experience pet sitting for quiet, calm dogs and rowdy, playful and sometimes very loud dogs. I'm also great with cats and other animals as needed! I will treat your pet and your home with great respect! I am currently not working so I've got all the time in the world to come and pet sit for you! I'm happy to come at whatever time of day works best. I follow the directions that I've been given for pet care exactly as stated. I will provide food and water to your pet and take them outside for walks as needed. I also love to just play with and cuddle animals as the animal is comfortable with me. I am also comfortable changing litter boxes for cats as needed.

About: Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for my sister’s Rat Terrier and Chihuahuas, from feeding and walking them to giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or their own home, I make sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and following their owner’s instructions.

About: Hello, I have had pets since I was 5 years old. My first ever pup just passed at an age of 16 years. I understand the circumstances that come with an older pup just as much as a baby pup, which I currently have. Something that will set me apart from other sitters is that I have a very open schedule and can accommodate to everyone’s needs. I am thankful and grateful to take care of pups if given the opportunity. I am currently unemployed I have all the time in the world to be able to walk, feed, and take care of your precious pups! I have a very open space, extremely attentive, will make sure the pups are in care and get their needs met before anything else so you have a peace of mind!

Finding someone you trust with your pets can feel stressful, and my goal is to make that process easier by providing safe, reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary technician-level experience and skills. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, giving me years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, following detailed instructions, and maintaining their individual routines while their families are away. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and medical needs—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior, anxious, recovering, and special-needs pets requiring additional attention. My veterinary background and technician-level experience include: • Oral and injectable medication administration • Subcutaneous fluid administration • Diabetic and special-needs care • Senior pet care • Post-surgical and recovery care • Monitoring changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health • Caring for pets with anxiety or specialized routines • Following detailed medical and household care instructions • Fear-free handling techniques and low-stress approaches 🐾 Experienced With Nervous, Senior & Special Needs Pets 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding and respecting that. I especially enjoy working with pets who may need a little extra time, patience, or specialized attention. Whether your pet is shy, nervous, anxious, elderly, recovering, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on building trust, maintaining their normal routine, creating a calm environment, and helping them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 • Regular updates and photos • Careful attention to your instructions and routines • Patient, compassionate, and individualized care • Enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention • Knowledgeable care backed by hands-on veterinary experience • Someone who treats your pets like family 🐾 Additional Services I Offer 🐾 • Nail trims • Baths and basic grooming • Ear cleaning • Litter box care • Medication assistance • Poop scooping • Additional care needs upon request I’m also comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including unique pets, exotics, and large animals. Whether your family includes furry, feathered, scaled, or other special companions, I’m happy to discuss their needs. 🐾 Why Choose Me? 🐾 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate. With my Certified Veterinary Assistant background, technician-level experience, years of pet-sitting experience, and genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide both knowledgeable and loving care. Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love doing. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. I currently provide care in your home because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. Staying home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or have special needs. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully review each booking and care plan to make sure I can safely and appropriately meet their needs. I will always follow your care and safety instructions carefully and will never leave pets unattended outdoors. While caring for your pets, I love keeping them happy and engaged with activities appropriate for their personalities and abilities. This may include neighborhood walks, fetch, favorite toys, enrichment activities, lick mats, puzzle toys, training refreshers, or simply spending quality time together. If I need to step away for errands or other responsibilities, I will make sure your pets’ needs and agreed-upon schedule are taken care of. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant with technician-level experience and a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into allowing someone to care for your animals and enter your home. I treat your home with respect and your pets with patience, compassion, and love. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing they are in knowledgeable and caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have more than 10 years of experience in pet care. I really enjoy playing with pets and giving them enough care and attention. I am willing to take them outdoors and indoors to give them the necessary care and happiness. I will be very responsible. For the pets you foster to us, I will take care of them like my own pets. I work from home, so I don't like to go out, but I'm home 24 hours a day, so I have plenty of time to spend with my pets, and I really enjoy playing and communicating with them, so I like to go out in the backyard and play and the outdoors. If they hurt their bodies when they go out to play, I will bandage them in time. If they get stains, I will clean them up in time and help them straighten their hair, because I know that every pet should be in a comfortable environment and a comfortable physical condition to sleep and rest, and I will make sure to do these points

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lago Vista

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lago Vista is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 1,029 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lago Vista. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lago Vista. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.

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.
