“We were extremely pleased with Ashley. She took exceptional care of our fur babies, (2 cats), while we were on vacation. She was there when she said she would be, took pictures for us to see how they were doing while we were away and kept their food and bathroom areas neat, clean and tidy! She also offered to get our mail which was a huge help. She is professional and both our cats took to her right away. We highly recommend her for watching your fur babies, too!”

“Kristi was absolutely great with our cat while we were away. She dropped in twice a day to feed him and check in on him. Sent us pictures and made sure to let us know how Buckwheat was doing. He liked her instantly! We will definitely reach out to Kristi for future drop in visits.”

“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”

About: I was an owner of a 8yr old Cane Corso who has now passed away from bone cancer. She has had 2 litters whom I cared for. 7 puppies each litter for 8 weeks was such an amazing experience! We have 4 sons and she was always attached to our 3rd son’s hip. We also rescued a beautiful cat, Misaki, who is now 1 1/2. My youngest son begged us for her and she has claimed me. She is the most sweetest thing and loves to cuddle. She follows me everywhere which we should have named her Shadow. If I could bring all the animals into my home I truly would! Myself and my youngest boys ages 16 & 15 would love to care for your animals as we would our own! We now have Briahs grandson Deuce is now 1 1/2 and is huge and a ball of fun! I’m currently a homeschool mom for I’m very flexible. I work part time but I’m available at anytime. I will make sure your babies are well taken care of! I am available three times a day for services and anytime you need your babies needs met. If they need play time we can do that or even just a belly rub after dinner :)

I have a wide open yard with fully green grass, a 3 story house and live in a neighborhood with side walks and dog parks.

“Nia is a fantastic pet-sitter! We were gone for a few days and needed someone to stop by 2x/day especially for our diabetic kitty--Nia gave detailed updates via text, called when necessary, and took photos every visit. So wonderful to have such peace of mind with a knowledgable pet-sitter! Definitely on my shortlist of people to rebook in the future :)”

About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.

“We were very satisfied with our first boarding experience. Smokey acclimated the sitter much faster than anticipated. He enjoyed his stay and bonded with the sitter in less than one week. We will definitely use her services again when we travel. This was a long trip (17 days) during the 2025 holiday season.”

About: Haven't had a pet in almost 10 years so I might be a little rusty but I have over 15 years experience with a medium/big dog (chow chow) and as well as a little dog (pekingese), Feral cat (bombay) trained to love and be loved and to be happy & friendly. As an trustworthy and friendly sitter and animal lover especially dogs, cats next. I have plenty room to still learn more and experience more, the patience I have with fur babies is because they're pretty much like our children. Smoke free, cage free unless trained and requires to be in a crate, walks every 4 -6 hours during the day until the early night and sometimes late night, unless pet has special requirements to take more walks it can be provided. And plenty of space and play time. Backyard is unfenced plenty of run around in the back area of the location area, plenty of nearby parks, basement is currently semi unfinished with no furniture with plenty of roam around room, with potential for setup area to cool off, eat, lay and relax, as well as play with access to the back area. If fur baby has separation, anxiety issue will try to help dog with that please notify if dog needs extra attention. ALSO KNOW AN EXCELLENT DOG TRAINER WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THIS CAN SEND YOU THE INFORMATION TO MAKE YOUR FUR BABY THE PERFECT GUEST IN SOMEONE'S HOME AND YOURS! (ISPEAKDOG) I'm currently working full/ part time with a flexible schedule on the road, and kina awkward sleep schedule where im up most of the time and random times but i able to keep up with a set schedule. so I do have flexibility with dog walks, play time, feed time, and down time will preferable be of course at night where I maybe either sleep or out working for a few hours but not interrupting fur baby resting hours unless special attention is needed also do have a back up person on site incase of emergencies. I currently have no pets again as of yet other than fish ... but provide a clean, spacious unfinished basement with windows is where animal will typically lounge at, unless it's one or two small little dogs that have anxiety mishaps. dogs may have the option to roam the house, but not beds they will have their own blanket or doggy bed to relax on. also available is a backyard entrance to let dogs out to use the rest room unfenced backyard so if you have a dog that is a runner or a trackstar a proper leash or harness with extensions is needed to let the fur baby roam and run without getting lost so fur babies will be able to play in the large back field area. PLEASE NOTE If you know your fur babies do not get along with others please let me know so i can try to keep them separate or get them use to the pack even with a watchful eye they are like kids they are likely to get in a fight and im not responsible for them incidents I promote safety, peace, playfulness and award good behavior, A space for eat, lay,and play, and time and energy for walks, and exercise and care!

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and providing pets with plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and select weekday pet-sitting opportunities. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Academy Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 5,264 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Academy Hill. 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 Academy Hill. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
