“Allie is great! She looked after our cat for a long holiday weekend and when we came back he was very happy and super cared for. She followed all of our instructions to a tee and was always prompt. Would definitely book her again and recommend her ten-fold!”
“We have utilized Tanya’s services with Rose in the past and once again she was amazing with her. Great communication. Even administered medications for her. Thank you for caring for Rose.”
“Kirsten is absolutely FABULOUS! She communicated with me every step of the way, sent lots of photos, and took extra special care of my dog while providing walking and feeding services. She went above and beyond! Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: When I take care of an animal, I don't just treat them like a pet. I treat them like the best friend they are. Instead of going the extra mile, I walk the extra mile to make sure all the animals I have worked with are taken care of physically and emotionally. I'm also just a college student trying to make a little bit of money on the side to help pay off my debt. Apart from taking care of my own cats in the morning and evening, my schedule is very free and very open to anything that pops up. I do live out pretty far from most towns, but I am willing to drive the distance no matter how far to provide the best quality service possible. I pride myself in being able to read animals pretty well. I am able to adapt to their personal needs and accommodate them however necessary. My 2 cats could not be any different from each other personality-wise, and I don't mind dealing with a hyper-active pet, and chill and relaxed pet, or anything in between. I'm an animal lover at heart, and will do anything to make sure all pets are well taken care of.
“Aaliyah is super! She is great with the dogs. She is exceptionally reliable and a fantastic communicator. She has provided daily drop in visits since January and I highly recommend her.”
About: My name is Haley, I’m 30, living in Boerne. I will do dog walks, feeding, and playing. I will also do grooming and training for an additional fee. I will love your pet like I love my pups. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was 3. I have had 6 dogs and 3 cats total. I’m currently raising my 5th puppy, Toulouse. He will be the fourth dog I’ve trained. I work from home so I have lots of free time and I’m eager to start this new endeavor. Please feel free to message me with any questions you have. I look forward to meeting you and your sweetheart. I am self employed and spend a lot of time if not all my time at home. I would have lots of free time to tend to all your pets needs. I have three dogs of my own to keep your pup happy while visiting. I can crate if needed and long walks are provided when it’s cool. If in your home I would maintain their routine to the best of my ability.
“Samantha, thank you so much for taking excellent care of our kitties and bunny! When we got back, it was clear that everyone had been in the very best hands. :) Everyone else, if you are reading this, you just found the right human for your nonhumans.”
About: Hi! My name is Kelley, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even horses, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and reserved, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your pets and your home. I know how important routines can be for animals, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crating, bedtime routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at ease. I also spent time working at a veterinary office, which gave me additional experience and knowledge in animal care and behavior. While I’m not a vet tech, that experience helped me become more attentive to pets’ needs and more comfortable handling a variety of situations. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and love as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time while earning hours toward my therapy license, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to your pets’ needs throughout the day. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to check in consistently, maintain your pet’s normal routines, and provide dependable care whether that includes walks, feedings, playtime, medications, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and respect for the routines they’re already familiar with. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, crating routines, and any other specific care instructions. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I strive to create a calm, comforting environment and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and always aim to leave things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
“Taylor was great with Sully. I booked with her very last minute. She came over on a Monday to meet Sully and Tuesday she walked him 3 times while I was away all day. She kept me updated and I came home to a very happy dog.”

“Ella was absolutely incredible with our fur babies. Communication was great. She went above and beyond to come meet us and our doggies. I would absolutely recommend her. She is a wonderful young lady.”
“Sherry is great and so helpful. My Saxon is getting used to being with her (4th drop-in visit) and is so relaxed when I get home. Just knowing Sherry can stop by to give Sax a good break and plenty of attention is SO helpful.”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always been around cats or dogs. I even have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own. Each one of them have their different personalities so I know how it’s like to treat each animal with the care they like. My dream in the future is to have my own pet resort at my own house but first I want and need to experience how each animal work’s differently so I can give them the best care they deserve I am currently available on Mondays Wednesday's Fridays and Saturdays. I would love to book anyone 7 days or plus prior before the date they want. I respect people and their animals. I would care for your animals as if they were my own. My care for your loved ones would be me making sure he/she has enough water and food, go the the bathroom regularly, and practice good habits.
About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life, with growing up on a farm and having a zoologist as Mom! With experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and even exotic pets, I provide calm, reliable care you can truly trust. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and comfortable with me. Hi!

About: Very dog friendly house hold, I have 2 of my own. I like going to different parks/trails, dog parks, and especially places with water. I have senior care experience as well (one of mine is 12) so I understand that some days can be easier than others. I also always have a little snack on me! I am all about my pets. We go on long walks, parks, dog parks, and love the beach! I always have time for them and will take them with me even to run a quick errand. Whether I'm in my own home or someone else's, I try to make the pet feel as comfortable as possible. I let them come to me and do things at their pace.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 770 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Welfare. 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 Welfare. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
