“Kat is very professional, miles away you can see that she is kind and loves all animals. She took very good care of the fury bunch at my house. I recommend her without a doubt.”
About: I previously worked as a veterinary technician at Texas A&M’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals in the Small Animal ICU. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including senior and special-needs pets, and I have experience administering both oral and injectable medications. I also have experience providing ongoing in-home pet care for private clients, including caring for multiple pets at once. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and getting to know their individual personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of attention that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. 🐾 Pet sitting is currently my primary work, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day and evening, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Whether they need a quick potty break, a walk, feeding and medication, or some extra playtime and company, I’d love to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. With my previous veterinary technician experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different medical, behavioral, and individual needs. I follow your instructions and routines closely and pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that may seem unusual. I’m also happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your babies are being well cared for while you’re away!
“Kimberly was a fantastic sitter! It was our first time leaving Kato over night so we had some nerves going into it, but Kimberly did a great job helping us feel more comfortable with her timely and kind communication and updates. We are so grateful and would definitely book her again. Thank you!!”
“Wendy was THE absolute best!! She was very kind and accommodating!! I had complications happen with my move and at the last minute, she didn’t hesitate to keep my babies an extra day!! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Wendy!! And, while I don’t often have a need, any time I do, she’s who I will go to 💕”

“Vickie always does an amazing job! We’ve hired her for all of our vacations and work trips and trust that the house will be safe and our babies will be well taken care of.”
“Jada was an absolutely dream to work with. This is the longest we have been away from our cat and Jada took such good care of him. He trusted her right away and loved having her come over. She sent amazing pictures that made us feel at ease being so far away from our cat. We will definitely book again.”
“Lesly is the absolute sweetest! She was so wonderful to help me out last minute when my plans changed multiple times. She came and met my cats and spent an hour getting to know them before I boarded them with her. She was so flexible with my hectic schedule and took care of them like they were here own. She was available to me at all times and kept me posted with updates everyday and sent me lots of pictures. She did her best to make sure my babies were comfortable despite them being nervous being in a new place. I can’t say enough good things and I look forward to using her in the future :)”
“Thank you Austin & Courtland for taking such good care of my frenchies while I was out of town. I was very impressed by your communication and updates on caring for the little pups. I know they appreciated the snuggles, treats, and extra playtime outside with you.”
“Kylie made herself available for a last minute request and took care of everything I asked her to do. She was communicative and kept me informed during her drop in unprompted. I would definitely use her again in the future”
“Kaitlin was great! She agreed to watch my cats for three days even with Freya being a little under the weather, which I really appreciated. She followed their feeding schedule, was so kind and caring with them, and kept me updated while I was away. I especially loved that she asked me to let her know how Freya is doing after I got home—it really showed that she genuinely cared about her. I felt really comfortable having my cats in her care and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life ever since i was born. i treat my own 3 as if they are my actual babies (i mean they are!) I am so excited to be taking care of your baby soon. I am home from my first class around 11:30 am, my second around 5 pm and can get to you pretty quick depending on how far you live. feed them on schedule, provide fresh water, give exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and offer comfort and attention. Always follow the client’s specific instructions.
“Rose was amazing when I had her take care of my pets! She showed up at our exact scheduled times and went above and beyond to make sure my dog and cat were comfortable and taken care of. She sent me pictures after every visit and even left a goody bag with treats on her last visit.”
“Vicki is fantastic! This is the second time that she's pet sat for me, and I'm so thankful that she was able to do so over a major holiday. She not only attended to my cat's needs, she also took the time to shower him with love and attention. It's obvious that he adores her! I feel so much better about going out of town knowing that he is in safe hands.”
“We only needed them temporarily but they did a great job taking care of our fur baby and making sure he had plenty of attention and exercise in the middle of the day.”

Aziza took great care of my cat! She followed all the instructions I left her. She was very sweet with him and spent a lot of time playing with him and brushing him. She sent plenty of photos and updates throughout her visits, which I really appreciated. It was her first time caring for him, so I was very happy to see him so comfortable! I will definitely be requesting her services again!

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.

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 .
