“I checked on our kitties every day through our Ring Camera, and they looked as content as can be. Ms. Olivia provided photos and video every day; I greatly appreciate her professionalism and attention to instruction; I'd certainly hire again 😺”
“Adaline was fantastic for us! She went above and beyond what was expected. She had a quick response and took care of us on very short notice. She was sweet caring to our animals and we had no issues whatsoever. She did a great job documenting everything during her visits and sent lot of pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“I had never left my furbabies in anyone's care. When they first met Christina they clicked with her and her with them. That instantly put my mind at ease. Christina was patient with my hyper Boston terrier and loving with my timid Chiweenie and giving them the individual care they needed. All her updates included pictures and details about her visit. Will definitely be calling Christina again so my furbabies can gets a visit from their new friend. 💜”
“This was our first time with Lilianais, and she did not disappoint! She was punctual and courteous in communication with us about our kitties while we were away from home. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
About: I love animals and working with them, I am a vet tech and have worked with animals for 14 years and have had and cared for animals my whole life. I have worked with everything from new puppies and kitten that need to be bottle fed to older animals that need meds and insulin injections. I work full time as a vet tech but I am home every night and enjoy spending my free time with animals and my kids love to help out. I have a fenced in yard and love to take the dogs for walks down to the park. I have a xl bully that gets along with everyone and loves to play. A cat that keeps to himself. And chickens that free range in the yard but can be put up if your pets aren't friendly with them.
About: I have over a year of professional experience caring for dogs and cats as a pet sitter and dog walker with The Purrfect Paw in Waco. I’m experienced with following detailed care instructions, feeding routines, walks, playtime, medications, and providing attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and understand how important it is to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I always follow each owner’s care instructions closely and make keeping pets safe and comfortable my priority. From my professional pet-sitting experience, I’m used to caring for pets in their own homes, respecting their routines, keeping doors and gates secure, and making sure their space is left clean and tidy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care.

“I highly recommend Krysta! She calmed a 5 yo 115 lb goldendoodle who had never been left in our home alone…even thought of turning on the television for her. Krysta followed all instructions, watered plants, rolled out trash cans & sent a lot of pics. We would definitely book with her again.”
About: Experienced in pet care since a very young age with three years in boarding and grooming and current veterinary clinic experience going on 2 years. Skilled in medication administration, handling nervous or challenging pets, senior and special-needs care, and providing safe, reliable, and active pet care. Pet sitting is a part-time side job alongside my full-time career at a veterinary clinic. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and frequent check-ins to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. A typical day with my own pets includes plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and downtime. I make sure they get the activity they need through walks and play while also giving them plenty of attention and opportunities to relax. I treat my pets like family, and I’ll bring that same level of care, patience, and love to yours.
About: Experienced pet sitter of 5+ years of dogs of all ages/sizes. I am reliable and easy to reach out to while providing safe and attentive care of your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 331 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across The Grove. 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 The Grove. On Rover:
- 98% 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.
