“Destiny was an outstanding daily drop-in visitor for our two kitties! She sent lots of photos, shared daily updates, and asked questions about their habits and preferences. I am so glad we booked with Destiny, and I will definitely call her again.”
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”

“Absolutely! Here's a polished version that keeps it warm, genuine, and enthusiastic: As always, Sam is amazing! She is incredibly attentive and truly goes above and beyond in caring for my pets. She is always punctual with her check-ins, stays on top of everything, and provides detailed updates that give me complete peace of mind while I'm away. Her communication is excellent, and I always appreciate the thorough feedback and photos she shares after each drop-in. I know my pets are in great hands whenever Sam is caring for them. She is reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. I would choose Sam again and again for my pet care needs, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. ❤️🐾”

“Karla was amazing! She took care of our two cats, our playful 9-month-old kitten and 18-year-old senior cat, while we were in Europe for three weeks. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. We were kept updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and gave each of them the attention they needed. Knowing they were in such good hands made our trip so much less stressful. We’re thrilled to have found her and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommended!”
“Rubi is very kind and respectful. She is very good with my 2 pups and they really enjoy her. She takes her responsibilities seriously and sends plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her. I have already rebooked her😀”
“Marcy took wonderful care of our cat and rabbit while we were out of town. She figured out their personalities and the two boys really took to her. Her updates were great. We’d be happy to book with her again anytime!”
About: Whether you would like your pup taken on a walk, your guinea pig visited with, or your cat needs a trip to the vet, I’m your gal. Living on a farm since my childhood and now owning one myself has given me more than ample experience with a wide variety of animals to include, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, cattle, pigs, alpacas, llamas, cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, chickens, guinea hens, peacocks, and even exotics like kangaroos and camels. My services include, but are not limited to: Dog walks, cat visits, feeding, administration of medication, holding horses for the farrier, paddock and stall cleaning, transportation to and from the vet or groomer, plant watering, mail pick-up. Any services not listed that you need customized to the care of your pet can be arranged. I have great flexibility to meet your scheduling needs based on my bookings. For holidays I recommend reserving services in advance. I do schedule 24/7 at any hour if I have not been previously scheduled. I treat every animal as if it is my own pet taking extra precautions to ensure their safety and eliminate any cause for a dangerous situation to arise.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Rio Hondo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rio Hondo. 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 Hondo. On Rover:
- 85% 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 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.
