“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”
“I liked her a lot, and I knew she had a regular job, but I wished I had found someone to hang with my cat and not just sleep there. She only could spend a couple of full days . I repeat, I knew that going in, and because the previous person I had arranged through Rover bailed on me in the last few weeks, I was just thankful I had found Ashle!”

I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for about 8 years now, mostly in emergency and specialty surgery. I have experience from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I currently work relief in emergency so I do have flexibility in my schedule. Let me know your needs and your pets needs.

I’m currently working part time at an emergency animal hospital in Austin. My shifts are picked up as relief shifts so my availability is flexible. Let me know what your pets normal day looks like! Earning trust and going at the animals pace to warm up to each other. I’d love to know where they love to be pet or their favorite toys and/or activities.
“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful to her and her daughter for showering my kitty with love and playtime while I was away. Kayla truly went above and beyond what I could have expected from a house and pet sitter. When I returned home, everything was spotless - she even washed the sheets, took out the trash, and handled other/extra details. I loved getting regular updates and photos of my kitty, which gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. If I weren’t moving soon, I’d absolutely ask Kayla to house sit for me again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Kayla! You were truly the best!”
“Cayden was professional and sweet to my dogs. Great communication and I appreciated her updates before, during, and after her visit. Thanks for making my long work day a little more tolerable for the pups!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,917 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smithwick. 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
