“Really great and professional service. Received quick responses and good pictures to make me feel like my fur babies are well tacked care of. Came home to a clean house with some happy cats!”
“Thank you very much for all your help! I can’t thank you enough for looking after my two cats while I was out of town. I highly recommend your services to any pet owner! I will be continue to use your services going forward.”
“Lauren was great. She helped me out with my last minute request and kept my place very clean when she came to visit. I will definitely be using her again over any of the other sitters I have tried on this app. Truly went out of her way to communicate each time she was around my place, glad I chose someone new this time. I will no doubt be sticking with Lauren.”
“Mallory was great with my cat. This was my first time using Rover, and I was so nervous to leave my cat in the care of someone I didn’t know. I loved that she reached out to meet my cat beforehand and become familiar with her and her routines. She was very responsive and followed all care instructions.”
“I will always vouch for Andrea! She is amazing with our dog and treats him like family. She was a breeze to work with. Once we need her services again we will definitely rebook. Thank you again Andrea!”
“Repeat customer here! Rylee is flexible and communicative, and I feel super comfortable leaving my cat in her care. I can tell he’s thrilled to see her in the pics that she sends! Thanks Rylee!”
“Meagan is great!! She made friends and hung out with my kitties. Always made sure litter was clean and food and water were filled. Her report cards were thorough (hilarious) and she included plenty of photos. We appreciate her!! This is the second time we’ve used her and I’ll book her again next time!!”
“After our previous Rover sitter relocated, my partner and I were pleasantly surprised and very relieved to find Suzanne. She already had such extensive experience and so many glowing reviews, we were quite confident in seeing if Suzanne could become our new fav sitter…and she is! ? We have 2 middle-aged cats, who have some co-habitation struggles, and one is on a special diet. Suzanne followed all of our directions precisely, and helped quell our self-conscious, “new sitter” anxieties. She was very gentle and patient with our kitties, and is an all-around personable and thoughtful individual ? I’d recommend her to any of my animal-loving, pet guardian friends and family. Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Wendy was very attentive and loving with our indoor kitty and outdoor kitty. She communicated with us when she was going to be late one day and asked if that was okay. Our kitties took a liking to her and they are very discerning - so it’s clear she is a true cat lover!”
“We couldn’t have been happier with the care Lauren provided for our cat Percy while we were away. Knowing he was in good hands made our trip much more enjoyable. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for cat, and we’re so grateful for her help.”
“Very responsive and attentive to my cat while I was gone! Kept me informed the whole way through and would let me know about the visit in detail. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“Mya was so wonderful and very professional! She updated me throughout my cat’s stay with pictures and videos. This was my first time using her and I’m so glad I did because now I have someone trustworthy and reliable to watch my fur babies! Would recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Diane and the care she provided our 2 cats. She arrived promptly and on time for each visit, kept us updated on how the cats were doing, and even spent more time with them than she had to. We were able to enjoy our vacation thanks to her. Highly recommended!”
“Taylor Jon was great with my cats he sent pictures and responded to every message. I told him my older cat gets anxious when I leave he made sure to give her extra attention. He cleaned up after them which was nice after traveling. I would book again with Taylor he was great with my cats and my house looked good when I came home.”
About: I’d genuinely rather be surrounded by dogs than by people. I more than enjoy being around animals and caring for them has always been a love of mine. I personally haven’t had a dog of my own for a few years and it’s rather sad not to have a pet around to take on adventures, enjoy hikes and eat all of the food you drop on the floor.I have dog sat/house sat for various families throughout the years and I enjoyed every part of it. I would love to continue dog sitting and walking pups. I can’t wait to get to know your pets and figure out what works best for the both of you so that your pet is as happy as can be ! I do work from home a few times a week and I have a somewhat flexible schedule at work and for sure I am available after work! I think it is very important that the pets I’m looking after are able to stick to their routine and how things they would normally have when they are with their parents and I would love to know their routines and make sure that they have just as much playtime or walking time as they would normally have.

This was my second time having Rylee check in on Cherry while I was out of town, and she was wonderful again! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that my cat is being well cared for while I’m away. Rylee is kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and I always love the pictures she takes of Cherry during her visits. 🥰 I would definitely recommend Rylee and will happily use her again!
Heather is amazing! She has watched our kitties for us a couple of times now and we are grateful to have someone trustworthy when we are out of town. Our kitties are pretty shy, so it has been amazing having someone who can meet our kitties where they are at and create a comfortable environment for them while we are gone. I highly recommend Heather and we will be using her every time moving forward! ⭐️🐾🤩
Taylor Jon was great with my cats he sent pictures and responded to every message. I told him my older cat gets anxious when I leave he made sure to give her extra attention. He cleaned up after them which was nice after traveling. I would book again with Taylor he was great with my cats and my house looked good when I came home.
Adelaide did a WONDERFUL job taking care of my sweet Mila!! She was responsive, communicated proactively and promptly, and sent the cutest pictures of my kitty while I was away. I will 100% be using her again in the future!!! Thank you Adelaide again for taking such good care of girl!!!🤍
Jill was an amazing match for our cats & took such wonderful, loving care of them. The daily updates and photos were timely and thorough. Our “scared” kitty was downright friendly to her because of Jill’s calming nature with animals. Most definitely recommend!
Kenna was great! She was very responsive and even offered a meet and greet to make sure she and my cat got along. She provided pictures and updates after every visit, and I really appreciate her showing up every day to make sure my cat’s food and water were fresh. Reliable and caring — would definitely recommend!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in River Oaks on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,606 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across River Oaks. 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.

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.
