“Bridget was fantastic! She was always very responsive and kept us updated with the cats throughout our trip. She also gave us the sense that she really cared for our cats well being and gave them lots of attention.”

About: I’ve never met a dog I can’t befriend (with a little time and maybe some treats) and have experience owning and caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats! I currently own a very sweet 125lb couch potato of a Great Dane named Moose who I’ve been training since he was 20wks. I believe in force free training, have experience with a number of tools (leashes, collars, harnesses, leads, etc.), and am comfortable working with all types of breeds and sizes. I treat each and every animal I care for as if they were my own and will ensure you can leave your pet at home with peace of mind. I would be honored to care for your pet and look forward to connecting! I’m currently self-employed and work from home so I am almost always available to drop-in for a visit or walk! I can also wake early, or stay up late, whatever works best for you. Trust is essential. I understand what it means to put your pet in the care of someone you haven’t met and will do everything I possibly can to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy with my care.

About: I have experience with working dogs, companion dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other animals. I have done training with dogs from basic obedience up to recreational agility, I am an active person who is more than happy to provide physical and mental energy to your dogs, and I am very educated on mental stimulation/enrichment to help your animals thrive. I do not get squeamish around insects/invertebrates, so I have no problem feeding your animals or taking care of your colonies. If your pet has care needs that aren't standard (or if you are very specific about the way your pet is cared for), leave me a note or step by step in texts. I am more than happy to help you and your pets with any of their care needs. While I do work, I have a flexible schedule that allots me time to work with you and your pets! I am always happy to discuss scheduling with you. In a clients home, I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to care for the pet. Walks on a routine schedule set by the client, feeding at set times, with several opportunities for play/enrichment as set by the client. I have no issues cleaning litter boxes or handling animal waste. Ensuring that your pets don't have any stressful scheduling changes is one of my top priorities.

About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I’ve cared for animals through 4-H and pet sitting alongside my mom, and I’m now starting my own pet care business. I love all animals—furry, scaly, and feathery! From cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, and small animals, I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ll treat your animals like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! Pet care has always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 After working full-time at a dog kennel, I decided to follow my passion and start my own pet care business. Now, I’m able to make caring for animals a part of my everyday life! My days and weeks are filled with caring for pets, giving them love and attention, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their families are away. I love that my work allows me to meet new animals and build special bonds with each one. 💕 I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own! 🏡💕 I’m happy to bring in mail, keep things tidy, follow any house routines, and make sure everything is safe and secure. I don’t mind sleeping over and staying with your pets, especially if they’re more comfortable having someone around. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while making sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for! 🐾

Katherine was great. All my instructions were followed and I got my cute daily pictures! She kept in contact if her schedule varied and the kitties were fine when I got home. It's nice to not have to worry when you have a great, responsible person caring for your kids!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Rio Grande

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rio Grande is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio Grande. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rio Grande. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
