Kendra was a blessing! Our boys can be challenging, but she was so patient with them. She worked with us to ensure we were comfortable leaving out of state on a trip. She also made sure to communicate check ins, and take pictures so we could see our babies. Thank you!

I was so nervous to leave MG alone but Rover has some great people and we are very blessed to have found out about this service. I was also especially nervous because MG is a rescue that I rescued myself and so not much information is known. So im still navigating and understanding her personality. She did so good with Valleri and im so happy that it went good. I also feel relieved MG has been able to go outside for a while and eat and drink. Thanks so much for all you do!!

Amy was fantastic! We would trust Amy with our furry little ones every time! Amy was always right on time. Her messages included the bad (💩 on floor) along with all of the good. We received a message after every visit including pictures of the dogs. The care she showed our dogs allowed us to enjoy our time away.

Ashley did an outstanding job with our elderly dog and young cat. She provided lots of updates (with photos of our happy pets getting love!) and we felt that they received excellent care. 10/10 Would book again!

About: ​I have been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, learning from a young age exactly what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your fur baby needs a high-energy walk, a strict feeding schedule followed, or just some dedicated cuddle time, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm incredibly attentive to their body language and daily routines to ensure they feel right at home. Im currently working a part time job at the hospital so I have plenty of time for your furry friends!! Im available at any time!! I live in an apartment with two of my own fur babies. I have a huge yard out front and back and live in a nice community area good for walking dogs. My apartment is very spacious for any animals coming over and my cats are very friendly and adapted to all types of animals.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up with dogs, I quickly became in tune with their needs and can form a bond quickly! I go above and beyond to make every dog I meet feel loved and welcomed. I grew up with cats, dogs, and horses. I’m currently home with my little boy for the summer so my availability is virtually wide open! I’ll be able to provide walks, pets, and so much more. I have an outdoor kennel with a nice house in it if needed. Otherwise, I can provide a crate inside in a calm environment. My 2 dogs are around to play with your dog as well! If you’re worried about my dogs and your dog getting along, I can separate them-no problem.

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

Kaylee did an excellent job caring for my kitties, Hank and Abbey. She was very detailed and thorough in her updates, sent lots of pictures, and they were very well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Kaylee to anyone, and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

September - June my schedule is more limited but I am available after 4 PM and weekends. I am trustworthy and focus on animal and owner satisfaction. I strive to make our experience together a happy one. I will take wonderful care of your pet.

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with a Passion for Pet Care I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and understand the love and commitment they deserve. My two beloved dogs lived long, happy lives—15 and 17 years—before passing in the past two years. Living on 3 acres in the country, I love taking peaceful walks along our dirt road, making it the perfect setting for dogs who enjoy fresh air and space to explore. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra TLC, I’ll treat them like my own with plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working full time M-F but I do work close enough to home to be able to swing home over lunch for quick walks/potty breaks! A Safe, Loving, and Stress-Free Experience for Your Pet Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I provide a trustworthy and nurturing environment where your pet will feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care, whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime, or extra snuggles. Living in the country on a few acres, I offer plenty of space for safe outdoor adventures, fresh air, and exercise. I always prioritize safety—whether through secure leashes on walks, attentive supervision, or a calm and familiar routine to ease any anxiety. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family, with love, patience, and respect.

Jessica was amazing with communication and sending updates, and was also very understanding when we had something unexpected pop up and weren't sure if we would need pet sitting or not. We did after all and everything went very smoothly including our meet and greet. We would absolutely book with Jessica again. Thanks for taking great care of our two cats and for the great updates/pics!

About: I'm a zookeeper at a zoo plus I have cats, dogs,guinea pigs, rabbit, hedgehogs and bearded dragon that I take care of. I adore animals and treat them like a member of the family. Animals give us unconditional love in which all of them deserve to be treated with the same respect and love. I want to provide the best possible care to each animal.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rice

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rice on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 76 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rice. 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 Rice. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
