“Sasha went above and beyond to take care of our cats while we went on a long trip abroad. She’d bring her own treats and toys to provide extra enrichment. She was also very communicative if she had questions or concerns about our cats. Would love to book her again in the future!”

About: Hello! I'm Alaunah, a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of professional pet-sitting and animal welfare experience! I prioritize safety, well-being, flexibility, and availability for you and your pets' needs! I have experience in administering oral, topical, subcutaneous, and intramuscular medications. Additionally, I am versatile and open to other needs upon request. I have a huge passion for all animals and would love to ease your mind while you are away!

Otherwise, I am available throughout most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I respect, value, and attend to your pets and home. Safety is number one priority while you are away! I frequently check areas are appropriately accessible/nonaccessible for your pets (doors, latches, litterbox access, etc.) Additionally, I provide updates with pictures and videos of your beloved pets.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.

About: Hey there! I’m Danny, a hybrid professional living here in Plano. Since I work from home several days a week, my schedule is super flexible. Your pets will get plenty of attention, regular routine check-ins, and tons of photo updates so you never have to worry while you're away. I live in a quiet apartment that is completely dog-free, which makes it a perfect, low-stress spot for hosting cats or small pets who hate loud barking or busy houses. I’m naturally clean, incredibly organized, and very respectful of boundaries, so you can count on your home staying exactly how you left it during house sittings and drop-in visits. Whether it’s keeping up with precise feeding times, scooping the litter box, or going for fun walks around the neighborhood, I treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! I structure my week so that pet care is never rushed or an afterthought. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can dedicate real, focused time to making sure your cats or dogs are completely comfortable, fed on time, and get plenty of one-on-one attention and play. Whether I'm staying at your place or checking in on your pets, keeping them safe and happy is always my main focus. I naturally have a calm, patient energy, which really helps shyer cats or anxious dogs relax around me. I’m incredibly strict about following your exact notes on feeding times, medications, and general routines so their day feels totally normal while you're away. If I'm watching your cats at my place, my apartment has a nice, quiet setup where they can comfortably explore and unwind without any loud dogs bothering them.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I spent many years as a volunteer at the Animal Shelter where I spent 4 hours a day. I helped get many dogs their forever home as well as raised money to treat HW+ dogs. I also fostered dogs for the Humane Society. I love all dogs, big and small.

I am available to care for your pets in your home so they are familiar and comfortable in their own environment. I will take them on walks, let them out for potty breaks and playtime in the backyard, feed them, and/or simply keep them company and shower them with lots of pets and belly rubs.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats growing up! Friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets while out of town or taking their dogs on walks. I’m here to give you the assistance you need to make you and your pet pal happy!!😊 Im currently working full time M-F but work from home Friday so I have more availability! I am free on the weekends! I usually get off around 4-5 M-F but I’m willing to work earlier if I know in advance your pets feeding times :) For starters I would make sure (if possible) I’m able to meet your pet pal before so they can recognize me. I want to make sure we are both comfortable with eachother. I’d like to know the behavior of your pet as well! Some pets are more shy and reserved so it’s good to know that way I don’t startle your pet. I will make sure to clean out their water bowls so they can have a fresh water, groom if needed and make time to walk, play,and talk with with your pet pal! If there are any accidents(puppies are more likely to do this) I will be sure to clean up as if nothing ever happened. No one wants to come back to a trip with that type of surprise waiting on them😅I will also take your dog (or cat if that’s what he/she likes!) on walks!!

About: I’ve got so many years of pet care experience ranging from dog and cat daycares to shelters and even veterinary offices, I love meeting a new furry friend everyday and learning a new personality along with them Pet care is something that can be done daily for me whether that’s just a quick walk or a bath, or maybe you would like your furry companion to just have some fun with a friend for a bit. All are so important to our babies mental and physical health In my home my baby is treated as one of the family, she has multiple bed throughout the house for when she wants to chill and relax whenever she may please. I occasionally take her to dog parks but not too much since she’s a senior pup but she is such a queen

About: I’m a registered nurse and animal lover with 7 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, playtime, senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and routine oral or topical medications when clear instructions are provided. My nursing background makes me especially detail-oriented about schedules, safety, and noticing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and believe good pet care includes respecting each animal’s personality—whether they want lots of attention or prefer some quiet space. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send photos and real updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up. I work part-time and keep my Rover calendar intentionally flexible, so I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, and other services depending on my schedule. I’m especially happy to care for cats, senior pets, and animals who do best with a calm, predictable routine. My availability varies week to week, and I keep my calendar updated so you can easily see when I’m available I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up. Your pet’s safety and routine come first. My home is calm and currently has no resident pets, so boarded animals do not have to adjust to unfamiliar animals in the home. I follow feeding, medication, crate, sleep, and activity instructions as closely as possible and won’t make changes to your pet’s routine without discussing them with you. For drop-ins and house sitting, I’m careful about doors, locks, leashes, gates, and possible escape risks, and I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I only accept bookings when I’m confident I can safely meet that particular pet’s needs. I’m naturally on a night-shift schedule because of my full-time job, so my response times may be a little different during daytime hours. If I don’t reply right away, I’m likely asleep and will respond as soon as I’m up.

Being around animals is the biggest joy in my life and I would love to help care for yours! About Me: Experienced: I've cared for a wide range of dog breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. Any cats, and sitting for rabbits.

I can sit at your home and will follow your direct instruction, so your pet feels as comfortable as if you yourself were home with them.

About: Hey! I’m a compassionate local pet-sitter with over 3 years of experience who can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’ve gotten the joy of working with an expansive variety of animals over recent years; from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats or even special needs, sick/injured pets, etc. I’m comfortable with any size and breed, and I’ve watched up to 7 pets per home at a time! Additionally, I have a certification in Pet First Aid via the American Red Cross. At all walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, I will put the well-being of your pet first. Whether that means keeping them safe in extreme heat or next to busy streets, tracking and administering medications, or simply giving them a good belly rub, your pet deserves my undivided attention, so that’s what I’m prepared to give. I hope we can chat soon! :) I currently have a pretty flexible schedule as my other job is part-time, so I am able to prioritize you and your pets! I especially love walking dogs in the morning times and on weekends. I care for pets by providing constant attention while in my client’s home. I watch over their body language to understand the pet’s needs. Before the stays, I try to do good research on your specific breed so I will be prepared. Outside of educating myself, I find showing kindness and fostering a true compassion for animal well-being is most important in pet care.

Sebnem was wonderful with my cat! He's a little shy, but warmed up to her right away, so I got plenty of pictures of my cat being pet, eating, and even videos of purring. Sebnem spent good time with him, following my instructions for food, giving him play time, and brushing him well. All in all I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching my cat while I was away.

I met Alicia at a neighborhood garage sale a few months ago where I was thrilled to learn that she is an experienced pet sitter in our neighborhood. My neighbor was planning to cat & housesit for my family last week but had to cancel two days before our trip due to a family emergency. I had never used Rover before but felt at ease as soon as I (promptly) received a response from Alicia to confirm booking. She came in for a visit the next day to meet our 3 cats and receive instructions/key. Alicia was very thorough asking questions getting to know our cats and home, which was very appreciated. We booked 60-min drop-in visits for 7 days, receiving daily pics and videos of our pets getting some lovin’ in as well as a detailed summary of her visit . Upon one visit, Alicia discovered a hall-closet door open and sent me a text. She had photographed exterior doors (showing still locked) & main areas of our house (looking undisturbed) to help us ultimately determine it likely had not been fully shut when we left, allowing the cats to paw it open. It was great to have peace of mind knowing that our home and pets were in good hands. We’ll definitely book Alicia again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Plano

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Plano is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 October 2026, there are 3,778 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Plano. 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 .

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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Plano. 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.

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.
