“Jessica did a wonderful job during our second booking with her. Her communication was excellent, and she paid great attention to detail throughout our trip. We truly appreciated knowing that our cats were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while we were on vacation. It gave us peace of mind to be away knowing they were in such good hands. We would gladly book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”

“Really great service!! She’s always so kind and responds quickly. She takes time to know your pets and enjoys her time with them. We use her often and are always so grateful for her care.”

About: i've been taking care of fur babies since i was young. Anytime, neighbors, family, and friends needed help caring for their pets, I was there! I will care for your babies as if they're my own. Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.
“Was willing to meet Cléo before booking which I really appreciate! Frequent and consistent updates at the requested times with plenty of photos for my mind and heart's ease. Thank you Jackson! 🥰🐱🐾🧶”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a horse farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve always felt comfortable around animals of all sizes, including big dogs and pets with unique personalities or needs. I have 7+ years of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight stays, and I’ve cared for dogs with all different temperaments and energy levels. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, keeping them comfortable in their routine, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I have a 10 year old cat named Humphrey who is my absolute pride and joy. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friends and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve! I recently graduated college this April and have moved in with my parents in Northlake. I am currently job searching which means my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love making part of my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm presence while you’re away, or someone to keep them company overnight, I’m happy to help. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable, attentive, and present for your furry friends when they need it most. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pets on their normal schedule: following feeding instructions, maintaining their routines, providing walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away! I understand that every animal is different, and I’m always mindful of their boundaries, energy level, and individual personality.
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”


About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads and mats for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”

“Emma provided excellent care of our senior dogs. She was on time for her visits and sent us picture and video updates every time. She is responsive and very personable. We will definitely use her services again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, I bring a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of each pet. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion for animals and my years of hands-on experience. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially in their own home, and I take the time to build trust with each pet, providing them with personalized attention and care. Your pets are more than just animals to me – they’re family, and I treat them with the same love and respect as my own. Pet care is a key part of my daily routine, and I am available to fit into yours! I prioritize the needs of pets around my work and personal life, ensuring they receive attention, care, and love whether it's during the week or on weekends. I am flexible with my availability for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and can accommodate both short-term and longer-term sitting arrangements. Your pets’ care is always my priority, and I am happy to adjust to your schedule as needed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets, whether in my home or in yours. In your home, I ensure that your pets are cared for in their familiar environment, reducing stress and keeping their routine consistent. I follow any special instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a secure, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax. I always prioritize open communication with pet owners, so you can trust that your pets are in good hands. My goal is to give pets the attention, care, and security they need while you’re away.
About: I'm a huge animal lover, and have had everything from cats and dogs to ferrets and fish! I've always watched over other people's animals for as long as I can remember and love every moment of it! From cuddling with a lazy fur baby to going on long runs to let out some energy, I've always been able to match any pets energy! I am a full time college student currently studying at NCTC! I'm usually free for the most part if not in class or the weekends where I get most of my studying and homework out of the way! I'm always willing to abide by any house rules you may have or areas that are off limits or need extra eyes on. I'm more than happy to crate dogs and make sure cats try not to scratch up furniture!
About: I really treat your child (yes pets are children) like my own. I want them to feel at home and happy and safe while you’re away! I work from home, so I can work anywhere! I am in FL for a few weeks and do not have my cat, so I can house sit easily :) My schedule is very flexible for those with needy pets! Whether they need a walk or extra food and snuggle time, I am available! I went the let’s to be as comfortable and as happy as possible! If the dog or cat likes to sleep in my bed, they are welcome! I know what it’s like to have a sitter watch my pet. They are in such good hands!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,578 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ponder. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ponder. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
