About: I’m a Texas A&M University Animal Science graduate with hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic. Through my veterinary experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs and have developed skills in safe animal handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to provide individualized, patient, and compassionate care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I’m committed to keeping them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and attentive care for both pets and their owners. I work a consistent weekday schedule, with Wednesdays off, so I primarily offer pet care before or after work and during my lunch break, with greater availability on weekends and days off. I plan my bookings carefully to ensure I have enough time to provide each pet with attentive, unhurried care. I’m dependable and communicative, and I’ll work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of safe animal handling, paying attention to changes in behavior, and following each pet’s individual care instructions. When caring for pets in their home, I respect your space and follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've loved animals all of my life and have experience caring for a variety of pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual routine. I am comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away, and I will treat your furry family member with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets. I am a full-time student, but 5 out of 6 of my classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible and can accommodate client needs. I have a class on Tuesday and Thursdays in the afternoon, but otherwise I am free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I will take the time to learn their personality and ensure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I will also treat your home with respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I'm an experienced, CPR certified, animal caregiver and the biggest animal lover you will meet. For the past 10 years I've worked as the main Team Lead at a leading doggy day care and boarding facility. Before that I worked at a vet clinic where I learned to administer medications. Now it's time to get back into one on one care. I'm able to do standard house chores as well. I fostered and found homes for animals my entire life. Extensive experience with cats, all breeds of dogs from German Shepherds, pitties and Pyrenees to toy poodles and chihuahuas. I also have experience with fish, rats, snakes & Guinea pigs. Many of my fosters have varying health problems including, blindness, heart worms, skin issues, severe food allergies and epilepsy. I understand the special care an animal with illness needs. I am reliable, always on time, friendly, caring and hard working. I believe pets are members of the family & will provide your fur babies & home with the utmost care and respect. I’m currently in college Tuesdays and Thursdays. Im a human health and science major. My future goal is working with dogs who help people with special needs. I am a Pet CPR certified caregiver. When I worked at the vet clinic and the decade at the boarding facility, I was the person the shyest dogs came to. I let dogs and cats come to me and gain their trust by simply loving them as close to unconditional as they love us. Each dog and cat are different and between talking to the pet parent and getting a feel from the fur babies themselves, I care for them like they’re my own.
“This is the second time Makayla has watched my beans for drop in visits. She does an excellent job of keeping me in the loop with what is happening at home; additionally she is always punctual so I never had to worry about if bean has care or not. I always look forward to Makayla’s photos/rovercards at the end of each visit as she takes wonderful photos and gives additional little updates on how the visits go on top of the rover app updates. Makayla is great with following instructions on all my cat’s needs. Both my husband and I find her to be very trustworthy as we have left bean in Makayla’s care twice with no issues of her coming and going into the house. I can tell bean absolutely adores Makayla and because of her wonderful service I would definitely recommend her services to others and continue to use her services as well.”

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rio Medina is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.

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.

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.
