“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: I've grown up with cats and dogs, and currently have 2 cats of my own. I've assisted in petsitting or petwalking jobs on the side for the past few years. I'm currently working part-time on my own schedule, so have a wide variety of time to schedule walks, sitting, etc for pets. I can do weekdays or weekends. Evenings are usually busier for me, but I am able to work around any specific needs! I can take your pet on walks, feed them, play with them, and provide very basic care. Walks and stop-by visits are my most common requests.
“Many thanks to Tanya for a great job caring for Phoebe and Silas. Tanya was very easy to work with giving her instructions and her attitude was great wanting the best for the cats. I look forward to working with her again knowing she will do a great job allowing me not to worry about anything.”
“Tom is great. He always does a great job and is super friendly. He has been a lifesaver for us. We were in a pinch and found out we needed to leave town and he was so accommodating and we truly appreciate him. Highly recommend.”
“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”
“Ella was a fantastic pet sitter. She followed all the instructions and went above and beyond making sure that my cat was taken care of while we were away. I highly highly recommend her!! 😊”
“They took excellent care of our 16 yo Chihuahua and 8 yo cat! They were very thorough, always refilled food/water, gave treats, played with them, made sure they had potty time, and even brought in packages left outside. Definitely recommend booking these two if you want peace of mind your pets will be well cared for.”
“Ariel did such a fantastic job taking care of all 3 of my fur babies while we were on vacation. She sent thorough updates to us every time she came by. She sent so many pictures too and they always looked well cared for! She was super communicative and remembered all the instructions we discussed. She also cared for my over-anxious small dog with great care-and he can be challenging! I will definitely use her services again-it was so relaxing to feel like my babies were well cared for and cozy at home while we were gone!”
“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: I believe what sets me apart is my experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and staying calm in stressful situations. I’m also very reliable and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely while keeping owners updated, so they always feel at ease. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, play with them, and make sure they’re well taken care of! I’ll be able to keep them company throughout the day and give them plenty of love and exercise. I will always make sure a pet is comfortable in my home. I may live in an apartment, but I will make sure your furry friend goes on as many walks as they want.
“I highly recommend Georgia! She has been excellent in taking care of my Weimaraner, Leo. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Leo absolutely enjoys his time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she works with. I’m very grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate.”
“Dean was great and made sure Ember was taken care of. He even cleaned up some messes Ember made which I appreciate a lot. Ember acted like she she already knew him and loved having him around.”
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.
“Christine is amazing! She is punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was able to accommodate my last-minute request while I was in town visiting family and unexpectedly needed someone to care for my dog. I’m always nervous about leaving my dogs with someone new, but Christine immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated him like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Soleil did a wonderful job caring for my dogs! From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and knows how to make them feel comfortable. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home, which says a lot about the quality of care they received. They had clearly enjoyed playing with Soleil and got plenty of attention and exercise while I was away. She kept me updated with photos when she dropped by to play with them, which gave me peace of mind, and left everything just as I had it. I would absolutely recommend Soleil to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 779 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
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
