Esmeralda was a great communicator and sent pictures of my fur babies to me at each drop in. My cats normally hide but they came out for her instantly. That’s a good sign. :) I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Alejandra took great care of my pups when I had to go out of town and couldn't take them. She stayed with them for the full time, cleaned up after them and administered meds for my senior dog. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

Star was awesome with our dog. Our dog is a little quirky and Star has no qualms about being with her and loving her. Star was punctual and did everything we asked. It was relaxing knowing she was with Tina.

About: I grew up in Cameroon in a home where animals were always part of daily life. Throughout my childhood, my family cared for multiple pets at a time, including dogs and cats, and I also spent time around many other animals through regular visits to our family farm. Being around animals from a young age taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to understand different pet personalities and comfort levels. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and well looked after. As a nursing student, I’m also very detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable following routines and instructions carefully. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, and I always aim to provide dependable and compassionate care. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I am also available for drop-in visits in the mornings and afternoons, depending on the booking, and I can accommodate many same-day requests based on availability. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each visit includes feeding, playtime, and attentive care. I also aim to provide timely updates and clear communication so pet owners feel comfortable and informed while their pets are in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and safety preferences. I always make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home and provide updates so owners feel informed and reassured. I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and maintaining a clean and calm environment. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I worked at a pet rescue for 2 1/2 years, as well as taking care of my two adorable kitties, bearded dragon, hamster, tarantula, and three fish tanks. At the rescue I took care of cats, dogs, horses, and a mule doing basic care like feeding and cleaning up after them as well as giving lots of love and attention. I also have experience giving medications and baths to both cats and dogs. I work full-time at Petco as an Animal Care Supervisor! I do work 5 days a week, full 8-9 hour days. I can get off as late as 9pm. I would of course be with your baby all night and any time I'm not at work! I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, walks, medications, litter or yard clean-up, and of course, quality time! I also respect the client’s home, ensuring it's left clean and secure after each visit.

About: Hi there, I'm Krystal, a genuine animal lover! I have an American Pit bull terrier about to be 8 years old and leopard gecko. I have a large yard and home with plenty of space for outdoor play, a few parks and a bayou nearby to take your fur baby out on a nice walk. I would prefer all pets to be house trained but its okay if they're pad trained. I work during the daytime and rotate care shifts with my hubs when I'm away so your fur baby will always have a set of eyes on them at all times. We are a team with pet sitting so your baby will always be in good hands! For overnight care, I'll be able to stay and care for your pet in your home as well while you're away. Any special requests can be accommodated. Do not be afraid to ask questions during a booking! Let me know when I can care for your pet! I’m always glad to help and be a care giver! I work part-time and have open availability. Dog parks visits are a favorite! Potty breaks are frequently given and walks as well unless otherwise discussed. Please keep in mind, due to extreme heat temperatures, your pet may be walked earlier/later than usual to prevent health concerns. I do offer a medium crate and separate eating/drinking tray for your fur baby! Shampoos and brushing available upon request during their stay and can be given if they do get dirty during their stay or outdoor/playtime.

About: I have always loved animals. Not just pets. I’m vegan and animals mean more to me than anything in this world. I have always been around dogs, cats, raccoons, opossums, cows, you name it. I have three dogs of my own and two cats. I am gentle and sure to take great care of all of my furry friends :) I work online from home, so I have a VERY open schedule. This just interested me because it’s a chance to meet new, sweet fur-babies since I cannot afford to have ten dogs of my own. I have two dogs. However, if needed they can be separated from other dogs. I have a nice sized yard for room to play. I also have a pool for my friends who like swimming!

Thanks for taking such good care of Darwin. Hopefully the 20% tip covers your extra time of having to get a leash from the dollar store. If not , let me know.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is my calm approach, reliability, and ability to handle both energetic pups and gentle seniors. I treat every dog like family and make sure owners feel confident and updated every step of the way. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me dedicate quality time to pets throughout the week. I’m available on weekdays and between classes, so I can make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. I can crate pets if needed or based on owner preference. My priority is making sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Houston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Houston on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,475 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Houston. 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 South Houston. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
