“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”
“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!”
“Suzi took great, loving care of our dogs while we were away! One of our dogs is a very anxious rescue who is not a fan of new people. During our meet-n-greet, Suzi let him drive the contact between them, which by his choice was minimal. During the first check-in, she sent a picture of him with his head in her lap! She sent sweet photos of both dogs having fun and enjoying their time with her. Great experience and we definitely will be requesting repeat service!”
“Heather is an absolute gem! She takes exceptional care of our kitties whenever we’re away. She consistently goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her. Thank you Heather!”
“Jynna was timely, sent many pics of my dog, and followed our care instructions! We don’t use Rover often so it was very reassuring. We will use Jynna again in the future!!”
“Ana is always reliable - I book her services for drop-in visits and she always does a fantastic job, I dont trust anyone else! Consider switching to her as your go-to sitter she is the best.”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, providing pet-sitting services for multiple families and volunteering to walk dogs at my local animal shelter. My nursing background brings added attentiveness, ensuring every pet feels safe and well cared for in my presence. You can trust that your furry family member will receive the highest level of care, attention, and affection. Whether it’s dog walks, check-ins, or extended pet sitting, I can adjust my routine to ensure your pet gets the attention and activity they need. Let’s work together to set a schedule that keeps your pet happy and well-cared-for! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make their comfort and safety my top priority. I maintain a calm and familiar environment by following each pet's established routines and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m attentive to their cues to ensure they feel secure while you're away. As a registered nurse, I’m used to handling responsibilities with a high level of care and reliability, so you can trust that your pet’s well-being is in experienced hands.
“Adelaide was fantastic! My dog is normally nervous around new people but she warmed up to Adelaide right away. Adelaide was very responsive, made sure to keep us updated throughout the duration of our trip, and always uploaded photos from her visits with our pup. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job watching our two dogs! I felt very at ease having her over at our home. I trusted she would take care of them and be attentive to them while we were out town for a long weekend. I would definitely have her back to watch them again!”
“Meagan is outstanding with a wonderful sense of humor. I loved her updates and photos. I never once worried about my Duke. I know he was well taken care of and loved.”
“Makae was a lifesaver when she was able to take care of my dog last minute. I was nervous because I hadn't used Rover before but she made me feel at ease by sending daily texts and photos of my happy pup. She's such a calm and positive presence and I will definitely trust her to take care of Maya again!”
“Carol is the best!!! She’s a 10 out of 10. I will use her every time I can that she is available. She’s a great communicator and is amazing with my animals. If she’s available, book her. You’re welcome.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,616 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in River Oaks. On Rover:
- 92% 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 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.
