“Cannot recommend Michele highly enough! Having moved recently this was the first time I've ever had to use a service and not a relative for pet sitting. I wasn't too sure what to expect but she really went above and beyond IMO for my cats. If I have to travel again I'm definitely booking her. I am very, very happy with level of attention given. Thanks!”

“Sarah proved to be a conscientious and caring sitter - someone who clearly is familiar with and loves animals. While I was away from home she sent me text updates on their care each day and also included a couple of photos of them enjoying her company. She arrived at my home exactly as promised and properly secured my home when she left. I would not hesitate to ask specifically for her help again - an excellent and reassuring experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and loved every second of it. I don’t mind watching dogs of all ages. I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals! I am definitely available to work weekdays and most weekends. My home does not have a yard so I prefer to watch your animals at your house. I don’t mind crating your animals while I’m gone if you need me to. They will definitely get a lot of attention from me because I love giving them pets (if they want it of course).

“Anika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog you’ve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+”

About: My pet-sitting rule? Your dog rules the house. Everyone's like "you shouldn't let the dog on the couch"... your dog could literally take out a loan in my name if he wanted to, I'm not telling him no! Beyond being their biggest fan, I’m super experienced with all kinds of dog care needs. Whether it's managing puppy chaos with consistent training routines or giving senior dogs the extra patience, gentle care, and meds they need, I've got it handled. You'll get constant photo updates and complete peace of mind while you're away! Being a college student basically gives me the ultimate flexible schedule! I’m not stuck in an office all day, so your pet becomes my official study buddy. Between classes, my calendar is totally wide open. That makes it super easy to stick strictly to your pet's routine—whether that's midday potty breaks, morning and evening walks, or sticking to strict meal/medication times. Basically, my routine revolves around studying and hanging out with pets, so yours gets all the love, walks, and focus they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus entirely on safety, routine, and respect for your space. I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while strictly following your guidelines for feeding, meds, and playtime. I take home security seriously, double-checking locks, gates, and windows, and I keep your living space tidy by cleaning up any pet messes or tracking right away. You can count on a spotless home, a happy pet, and plenty of photo updates while you're away!

About: I love animals of all kinds. I’ve worked with dogs and horses my whole life, and I know the importance of a happy pet because if they’re happy, then we’re happy! I am also very experienced with farm animals and I have 15 chickens of my own. I’m a runner and love to walk/run/play with four legged friends. I have my own transportation and I am very flexible. I would be thrilled to love on your furry or feathered companions! I do work full time but have a lot of flexibility since I work from home; which means I can tend to your pets needs almost any time! Just give me a heads up and I’ll be there. I can walk your best friend for you, feed, snuggle, or even run with depending on the dog! My own dog runs with me regularly and is a huge part of my life.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I’m 29 years old, born and raised in Louisiana, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just a job or side hustle. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because they’re family. I know the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and energy levels — from playful puppies and kittens to older pets that need extra patience and gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, playtime, and a calm environment so they feel secure and happy. I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing their babies are in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently working part time so I would have plenty of time for your loved ones. I’m available Monday-Sunday Mornings at 8am to 12pm . Evenings 6:30 to 8pm. I’m able to provide pets with a comfortable indoor space in my spare bedroom, giving them a calm and safe environment while in my care. I also have a spacious backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely on adjustable leashes, allowing them room to move around comfortably and stretch their legs based on their needs and activity level.

Wonderful experience. Kaylee was always prompt and professional, asked me plenty of questions in the beginning to make sure she understood my pet and what we needed. Checked in on time every day and sent me detailed reports. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West River Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West River Oaks is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West River Oaks. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West River Oaks. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 , 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.
