About: I've grown up with dogs (Vizslas) my whole life. I have experience in K-9 training and showing, as well as dog sitting (of all breeds and sizes) over the years. I'm a full-time student at Otterbein, so I am looking to dog-walk around my class and sports schedule throughout the week. My availability may vary depending on the week. I am comfortable and confident walking in neighborhoods. I am willing to travel by personal, reliable transportation. I am experienced with kennels, backyard use, and leash walking.
“Destany is THE BEST! She has provided outstanding care for my two cats on multiple bookings. Her love of my pets shows in how happy they are when I return. I can tell from her daily pics my babies are treated with love snd great care.”
“Regan was amazing! She was great at communicating and super reliable. She did awesome with our cat Fiona and sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. We will definitely be reaching back out for help in the future. Thanks so much Regan!”
“Emma was very helpful with a last minute request for drop in visits for our parrot. We appreciated her responsiveness and understanding of caring for an exotic animal. She went out of her way to help with a meet and greet and being flexible on the trip dates. We would happily hire and refer her to other pet owners.”
“I would use Ben again in a heartbeat. Responsible, good to my cat, goes the extra mile. From the video he sent me, it was obvious that my cat was comfortable around him.”
“I was absolutely satisfied with the drop-in visits Lauren did for 10 days with my 2 cats! When she visited for meet and greet, the cats immediately took to her and so I felt very comfortable leaving for such an extended time. Lauren sent me copious amounts of pics of which I looked forward to seeing everyday. She did a fantastic job taking care of my little ESA's and they enjoyed her company so much I think they forgot about me-haha. I also want to mention that Lauren did all this while dealing with a fever and illness one day, and a raging snowstorm the next. She went above and beyond, which is why not only do I recommend her well-deserved star status sitting, but I will be booking with her for future drop-ins when I am out of town. Thank you Lauren!”
About: I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I can usually arrange for your requested days and times to be placed in my calendar. Your schedule is important to me. I will make a short visit a few days before your reservation starts to meet you and your cat(s). I will also get a key or code for entry into your home.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 4. I have taken care of anything from senior yorkies to training service puppies. I am comfortable with any size, age, or gender, or breed. Just truly an animal lover at the core! I am currently a full-time worker at Abbott. I am gone 8AM-4PM M-F but am more than open any other time during the week and all weekend! I live in multi-floored apartment with green area for all kinds of dogs. I have more than enough room for roaming and crating. Dogs are allowed on my furniture but can be prevented from doing so if needed.
About: I have 12 years of combined experience as a volunteer dog caretaker, as well as a former staff member, at a local non-profit animal shelter. My work with the shelter has allowed me to provide care for many animals and help match them with the best adopters. I am also Fear Free certified and understand the importance of helping animals feel at ease. Most of all, as a dog mom myself, I understand the need for a reliable, punctual, and kind caregiver for all of our pets. I am currently volunteering at my local animal shelter and caring for my own senior dog Cuddles at home. Most of my days are free and I am hoping to provide pet services as a part time job. I will follow instructions given by my client in regards to the care of their pet in their home. When walking dogs, the appropriate harness and leash will always be used and care will be taken to ensure the dog's comfort and safety at all times. I believe that it is very important for dogs to be given the time stop and sniff at their leisure and not be rushed, as the walk is for their enrichment and enjoyment.
About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go. I work full time as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic where I work with animals 5 days a week and find work on the side house and cat sitting for family, friends, and mutual. As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away. I’m a type A, an Aquarius and an ENFJ As mentioned I do work full time at a Vet clinic. I get 2 weekends and 2 weekdays off a month. My schedule is typically either 7:15am-4:30pm with a break from 12-1pm or 10:30am-7:30pm with a break from 1-2pm. I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
About: I have had a pet of my own. I’ve learned to bathe walk feed and care for an animal like it’s my own. I will put your pet of any kind before me and myself. I will make sure to communicate. you can count on me. I have to take care of my fish. I don’t have dogs anymore, but I have to find time throughout the day to feed my fish and clean my fishes tank. I have really good time management. I’ve done a lot of sports in the past and have had to deal with homework too I have no other pets other than fish. I have food. I have money that I can buy food if I need to if they have a specific diet and I can provide anything you need to keep your pet safe and healthy and happy.
“We were familiar with Ben from our time at a doggie daycare and my dog loved him! Seeing him on Rover was awesome and we immediately scheduled a meeting. Our dogs loved him and we know they are in great hands!”
“Kayla is kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She provides helpful updates and asks good questions, which makes being away easier. We have booked with her several times without hesitation.”
About: Growing up with a variety of pets, I’ve learned to take care of animals ranging from cats & dogs to tortoises, big and small, and young to old. My family and friends have entrusted me with their pet’s care on many occasions while they are away. I love sending my clients pictures of their pets while they are away to keep them updated and have them see their furry little friend. Care under my supervision always ensures your pets are in good hands! I am a full-time law student which typically allows me have some flexibility and open weekends and afternoons. My husband, Eddy, will also typically help out from time to time. I will have a lot of time to be able to care and play with your animals! I am reliable and trustworthy and have the best interest at heart for your pet. I find caring for other’s pets as a great way to help out and destress! When visiting my client’s home I always greet the pets and ensure they are comfortable. I look around and clean up any accidents and let them out for a quick potty break. Depending on the service, I will then either take them out for a walk or stay in the home and stimulate them with some play time. Play time can consist of a game of fetch, running, tug of war, and my favorite, hide-and-seek. For walks, I allow dogs to take all the time they need to get acquainted with the area and sniff out new smells. Allowing them extra time to look and sniff around boosts their mood and stimulates their minds. For either service, it is extremely important for me to always have the pet’s best interest in mind and provide a service that is focused on their needs at that time.

Theresa was great with my 2 kitties. She was so sweet when she came over for the meet and greet, I can see why she has a lot of repeat business. She went above and beyond while sitting by helping me out with a package I received and also watering some plants. She also sent me plenty of photos of my fur babies which is really important to me. I will definitely use her again when I am out of town.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle took such wonderful care of Hazel and Earl, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We loved the daily updates, thoughtful notes, and cute photos that really showed how happy and comfortable our cats were. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Africa is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 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.
