About: I’ve had the joy of caring for and training dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. From raising and training puppies (including service dog training experience) to caring for senior dogs with medical needs like insulin injections, I’m very comfortable with adapting to new dogs and their needs. Whether your dog is calm, anxious, or a little mischievous, I’d be happy to help get their energy out or help them feel calm when you aren’t able to! Because my current work is building a start-up business, I offer great flexibility for your pet's schedule! I’m available most weekdays starting early in the morning through 6:00 PM, and again in the late evening from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM. Whether your pet needs an early morning walk, mid-day attention, or a late-night check-in before bed, I can easily fit their routine into my day. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. From my experience in all life-stages, medical care (administering medications/injections), and training (obedience/service dog), I am able to handle all temperaments with patience. I maintain strict safety routines: securing doors and gates, following your exact instructions, and double checking your pet's health and needs. I always provide a photo update with visits so you can have full peace of mind!
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for animals, and being around them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with different animals, each with their own personalities, needs, and routines. I understand that caring for a pet takes patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathing when needed, and keeping their spaces clean. I also believe every pet deserves plenty of affection, attention, and opportunities to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and nervous, or needs a little extra care, I’ll do my best to make them feel loved and at ease. I know pets are family, and I would treat yours with the same kindness, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m a dedicated student in my school’s veterinary assistant program, where I gain hands on experience by shadowing professionals in veterinary offices as I work toward becoming a certified veterinary assistant. Outside of school, I’m also a student athlete, participate in band, and am involved in the National Honor Society. I’m proud to be in the top 25% of my class and to have earned A and AB honor roll recognition. Balancing these commitments has taught me time management, responsibility, and dedication. I’ll communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to provide your pet with dependable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and well being are very important to me. Through my school’s veterinary assistant program, I’m gaining experience by shadowing professionals in veterinary offices and learning more about animal health and proper care. I also have experience house sitting for a regular client, which has helped me understand the importance of trust, reliability, and respecting someone else’s home. I follow care instructions carefully, pay attention to animal behavior and needs, and strive to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their pets and home are being treated with care and respect.
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I truly love being able to care for them and make sure they feel safe and happy! I am a dependable person who takes pride in providing the best care possible. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for multiple friends and family members over both short and extended periods of time, and they would be happy to vouch for my reliability and the care I provide. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. From chickens, to cats and dogs and even goldfish, I’ve done it all! I am also using pet sitting as an opportunity to work hard and save money to return to school for my masters degree so I truly appreciate every opportunity and every family who trusts me with their beloved pets! I currently work 4 nights a weeks so I’m free during the day for schedule potty breaks, feedings, or walks from. I am off on weekends and available for short or long visits. I am flexible and I don’t mind adjusting my schedule if needed. I am always on high alert and make sure I have all animals within sight and ear shot. I make sure to ask questions and would like explicit details on how each family would prefer I attend to their pets. Be it feeding and potty schedules, favorite toys, restricted areas and temperaments, I make sure to gather and retain all information necessary to provide the very best care.
“Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!”
“We did a meet and greet and my girl took to Matthew. His calm demeanor I think helped calm her down, a little. Ada is extremely hyper and Matthew was comfortable and patient with her. Matthew was very understanding of Ada's particular needs from her eating and her physical challenges.”

About: Experienced and devoted pet sitter with a heart for all creatures. Proud parent to three cats and a dog, providing exceptional care for every furry friend. I’m a full time student at TJC and I’d love the opportunity to assist pet parents, offering a helping hand and genuine love for animals to ensure their furry companions receive the best care possible. I would love the opportunity to be a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter as a fellow pet parent, providing the same love and care to others' beloved pets as I do to my own, ensuring their well-being and happiness.
About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tyler is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
