About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other household pets. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, a consistent routine, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I’m patient with senior pets, attentive to medication schedules and special instructions, and committed to maintaining the routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to pet care, I take pride in keeping a clean, secure, and well-maintained home. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your property. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your pets are doing. As a mature, responsible professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and treating your pets and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I work a four-day week, with two days working remotely and two days in the office, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care. On my remote workdays, I’m home throughout the day for companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks. On office days, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care and attention they need before and after work. My evenings and weekends are generally open, allowing me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting, house sitting, overnight stays, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. Safety, security, and your pet’s well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household routines. I ensure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and maintain a clean, safe environment at all times. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything tidy, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants, and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are being cared for with the same attention and respect I would give my own.
“Rylee watched our two cats while we were gone for the holidays and did a great job watching over them! She was very communicative and sent pictures for each of her visits, I’d definitely recommend her and will rebook her in the future!”
“Hannah was amazing! Followed every quirky instruction for my rambunctious boys. They loved her and I most definitely will be using her permanently. She was so sweet to them and the pictures of their big smiles confirm it🩷”
“Jacob was absolutely phenomenal taking care of our babies! From day one, he went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for, well exercised, and happy while we were away. He was incredibly attentive, detail oriented, and followed every instruction we left regarding their care. What impressed us the most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to him. Even though Jacob was a complete stranger to them at first, they took a liking to him almost immediately. His kind personality, gentle nature, and genuine love for animals made them feel comfortable and safe right away. It was clear from the start that he has a special connection with pets and truly enjoys caring for them. He kept us updated, paid close attention to their needs, and gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Knowing our dogs were in such caring hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Hoping he enjoyed our dogs and continues to be our go to person! We will book with him always .”
“Suzanne was an awesome choice to watch our dogs while we were gone. We have a nervous dog who needs a little extra help and Susanne worked with her and was able to gain her trust before we got back. They were very well cared for while we were gone and will definitely continue to use her for future trips.”
“Alison did a great job taking care of my kitties for an extended weekend trip- she went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and provided photos every visit.”

“Meagan was super sweet and great with our kitties. She gave them fresh water each visit, topped off their food, picked the cat litter, and cleaned up their puke mess. She even swept the loose litter and brought in a package that was delivered! She gave the kitties she could find lots of lovies as well. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve grown up taking care of my own pets, as well as those of neighbors and friends. I’ve had experience feeding them on a schedule, playing with them, and letting them outside regularly. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a lot of free time. I’m usually available most days to take dogs for walks or check on pets. I will take care of your pets and treat them with love and care, ensuring they are happy and well-fed, as well as your home, which I will maintain with respect and cleanliness.

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!
Rylee did a meet-and-greet with my cat on short notice before I needed to go out of town. She was wonderfully caring and attentive from the start. Her love for my fur baby was a comfort that helped me relax to be present where I was. Rylee truly has a heart of gold!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
