“Monica did an amazing job caring for our cat, Maisie, during daily check-ins while we were on vacation. She was attentive, compassionate, and highly responsive. Whenever something was off, like Maisie not eating or skipping the litter box, Monica let me know right away. She even took the time to look for Maisie when she was hiding to make sure she was safe. Monica made sure everything was secure (including locking the door), and she always responded to messages promptly. Maisie has anxiety and was clearly distressed without her humans, but Monica showed such empathy and patience. Her care and communication truly put my mind at ease and made me feel confident using Rover. I would absolutely rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Monica, for taking such great care of our girl!🐱”
“Dee has watched our cats on two different occasions now and is great, and super flexible to help out! The cats love her! I will use her regularly when I need a sitter.”
About: My husband and I have owned dogs and cats our whole lives and I have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My husband and I are both approved rover pet care takers so one or both of us may be the one to help! I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. We are always happy with last minute bookings, so feel free to reach out! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Highly recommend Amber. She took such good care of our cats. She even noticed a package at our front door and placed it on our kitchen counter. She checked the litter boxes, cleaned them every visit. You can tell Amber cares a great deal about animals. She always kept in communication with. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you Amber.”
“Great communication, daily updates and lots of pictures of our kitty while we were away for the week 😸 Keerie was so sweet and it was great to know our boy was in good hands while we were missing him on vacation! Will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. At the age of ten I made a neighborhood business of walking and bathing dogs. Mainly puppies for the elderly in the neighborhood. I mainly have cared for dogs with anxiety and PTSD. My first experience with PTSD in animals was my Louie. He was a rescue from a Korean meat market. At first it was hard but it’s all about attention to detail and patience. Everyday it makes me soooo happy that he trusts me, that when I walk in the door he’s happy and jumps on me and we always run to the couch to cuddle. And just seeing him traumatized to what he is now makes my heart happy. I’m currently working 7-330 rotating weekends so I will always be available after 330. And every other weekends along with my two days off during the week. I ensure that they are well fed and have clean water. Make sure they are able to use the bathroom without having to wait a long time. Additionally I make sure the bathroom facilities are clean because they deserve the best respect we do. I give ample affection and attention to ensure they will never be lonely, keeping in mind when they are stressed and anxious by paying attention to behavioral signs.
“Dave was fantastic! He was quick to respond from my initial inquiry. The meet and greet was a success as I could tell my pup loved him right away. Dave was communicative, on time, and followed all instructions. He was tidy and respectful of my home. I felt so at ease knowing my puppy was in good hands and having fun and the photos showing how happy Corbin was were the highlight of my day. Thank you Dave for being so wonderful and taking such great care of Corbin. I know he'll miss you. Hope to book with you again and will absolutely suggest you to friends and family!”
“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently have a hybrid work schedule and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
“What a beautiful wonderful pet setter my 8 month old German Shepherd Gracie absolutely loved her. And so do I!!!! she not only showed much love and attention. She also did some training with her She is so knowledged about dogs! Can't wait to have her again!!”
About: I have been a lover of animals for as long as I can remember. From horses, to kitties, to dogs and rabbits, I’ve watched and cared for them all. I love meeting new critters! I have a very flexible schedule working retail and picking up substitute teaching so I can work with you to make sure your pets get the car they need when they need it! I have a sweet baby boy cat who has not had problems with other animals, but can play or leave alone if needed. We have a large house with plenty of room. A nice backyard as well to run and play! If I am at your home, I will follow any directions you have to make sure that your pets get the same care that you would give them!
“Lindsay was really wonderful with our cars, one younger with a lot of energy and one older with a bit of attitude. She spent time with each of them and made them feel special when she visited while tending to their needs. The updates and pictures were welcome each visit and gave us piece of mind knowing such a caring was watching our for kids. We highly recommend Lindsay for your pet care needs, she is amazing and very loving with her fur friends.”
“Tasha did check ins with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave him lots of love, freshened up his food and water, and sent me updates at each check in. She was a great help!”
“Dailie was great! She was able to help us out on short notice for a couple of drop ins and we were very pleased with her services. Punctual, courteous, and caring of our dog. Would hire again!”
About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.
“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”
About: I understand proper feedings for dogs, giving meds, and administration of first aid. I'm able to take the dog(s) on walks, supervise potty/play in backyard, and basic/intermediate grooming. I will play with them and give them the full attention needed to keep them happy and healthy. I’ve owned multiple dogs and cared for cats of relatives all my life. I've owned dogs, birds, ferrets, fish, reptiles, and more. My experience is professional and independent, from doggy daycares/boarding/grooming facilities to having clients that are family/friends. I do have a part-time job at the moment with a non-consistent schedule but would work pet care into my schedule on Rover and be honest about my availability with clients for both our benefits! I know all pet owners have their own preferences so I make sure to follow all the rules even if you don’t want your furball on your couch. I want to ensure my clients are comfortable with me caring for their pets in their own home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Akron
This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with our experience with Zoey! She was very communicative, trustworthy and kind to our kitties. She sent photos everyday, even of our super scaredy cat who hid in tight spots during visits. She made sure everyone was doing well and gave pets to the ones who came out of hiding for attention. Zoey is our first pick for our next pet sitting service need!
Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Akron on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
