“Geni did a great job caring for my cat. She fed and played with him She is accountable, good with following directions, great with communicating and sending pics. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Emily did a great job looking after my skittish cat, and on very short notice. My kitty even seems to be happy to see her! Very caring and professional. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Kristen is truly the best! She accepted my last-minute request, came over beforehand to take detailed notes, and gave my sweet old cat so much love and cuddles over the 3 days. Buckley is 19, so leaving her is hard—and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in Kristins care. She was thoughtful, caring, and wonderful. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Catherine was an absolute rock star sitter. She knows exactly what she’s doing and I could not have been at more ease while I was out of town. Definitely book with her!”
“I -sincerely- appreciate their service. They were respectful of the space and most importantly, my fur babies, and went above and beyond the requested visit duties, simply spending some time with them while I was out of town. Would have absolutely no reservations booking them again!”
“Alexis was so caring with our 2 attention craving felines. Our reluctant furry guy immediately bonded with Alexis instead of his usual hiding for strangers. Alexis was super with her visits, care, and feedback. We certainly will book her again the next time we make a trip. We heartily recommend Alexis!”
“Alex was amazing with our cats! She was very patient when she met them for the first time during the meet and greet. She was greeted at the door by the kitties and they stayed with her the whole time. She took so many photos and gave us an excellent summary of the visit. Next time we need pet care, we will be calling her.”
“Thanks Karley for taking care of the boys! I had accidentally mixed up the service dates on Rover and Karley was quick to verify and correct that - saved me a lot of anxiety.”
“3rd time having Rezvan watch my two boy cats. She did a great job taking care of them while I was gone. I really appreciate all the photos and videos she shares of the boys while I am gone. It is reassuring to see that the boys are still getting affection and having someone play with them while I am not there.”
About: I own a dog myself and so Ive learned to crate and potty train her. As much as I love her I do understand every dog needs to learn respect to others. I am currently working full time with a set schedule for a while and it does change from time to time. But i do work 3-11pm 4 days and Sunday i work 7am-3pm. My dog is crate trained, so if needed she can be put away. I do have a spacious apartment, my cat tends to be shy around others. So he would run off, but as mentioned before with my dog, my cat can be out away also.
“Madison was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Monkey! We were out of town for almost two weeks, and Madison checked in on Monkey, fed her, and hung out with her. Madison kept us updated with great photos and videos that put us at ease that our girl was safe and happy. Madison sent photos of monkey eating and playing with toys, and we loved getting a video of Monkey watching a bird show on our TV! Thank you to Madison for going above and beyond, even cleaning the litter box and taking out the wet food trash when we didn’t have to ask. We are so grateful for your help keeping our sweet girl safe while we were away. Thank you!”
“Miki was absolutely wonderful doing drop ins for my two cats. She played with them so much and gave them their food and did their litter box and gave them treats. She was dependable and communicated well and gave me a very in-depth card at the end of her visits. I will definitely use her again in the future. I know my cats were happy with her.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“I had a great experience with Oline while I was out of town. She came by ahead of time to meet Goose, and it was immediately clear how warm and comfortable she is around animals. Goose usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he gravitated toward her right away—which said a lot to me. Oline kept in great communication throughout my trip and sent plenty of thoughtful photo updates. It was clear Goose felt relaxed and safe with her, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Oline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”

Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!

Brendan was amazing. He was timely with his check-ins, administered my cats insulin without issue and even went above and beyond one day when my power was out and he couldnt get in. I will 100% be booking with him again for any future cat sitting needs I have. Thanks again!!
This is our third time booking with Jasi and yet again, she was exceptional! I had miscalculated my days during booking and needed more visits, Jasi did not hesitate to jump in and cover while we were away. As always, she was thorough, loving to our kitties and assured me they were well taken care of while we were away! We will absolutely book with her again!
We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her 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.
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 Richardson. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
