About: I started sitting through my partner on here with her for the last 2 years. I have finally moved onto making my own profile here. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actually get to know them. Every animal has its own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand that so they feel comfortable and safe, not just supervised. With my background in healthcare, I’m naturally attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels .. things a lot of people might miss. That means your pet isn’t just cared for, they’re genuinely looked after. I also keep communication solid. You’ll get real updates, photos, and check-ins so you’re never wondering how things are going unless you choose not to have that. No guessing, no stress. I currently work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet attention. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 or also before 10am , and I can adjust when needed to fit your pet’s routine I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I pay attention to behavior and make sure they’re always supervised, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Chloe was amazing, we received the sweetest pictures. Mingo is very shy but felt very comfortable with Chloe immediately. I highly recommend using Chloe to love on your pets or babies ♥️, when you must be away.”
“Rochelle is amazing and so helpful, kind, and understanding. So relieved and grateful that we met, and I feel completely at ease that she will be here with my girls while I’m away.”
“Callie was super sweet to Charlie and very responsive while we were away! I felt super comfortable leaving him in her care and knew he was going to be okay, would def use her services again!”

About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.

About: I’ve cared for pets almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities.

I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure every pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, basic training, or simply keeping your pet company, I always treat animals like they’re my own. I’m reliable, calm, and very detail-oriented, which helps pets settle in quickly. I take the time to understand each animal’s temperament so they feel comfortable and supported. I’m experienced with puppy basics like crate training, leash manners, and reinforcing good habits. I’m also confident with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra monitoring. Communication is a big priority for me—I send plenty of updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Much appreciated. She took the time to walk my doggies and give them the attention they needed. She is reliable and I was able to book with her on a short notice. Would book again.”
“Sam was very responsive and put my mind at ease while I was away for the weekend. This was my first time using Rover, so I didn’t know what to expect. I left a pretty lengthy schedule/directions and she followed them perfectly. I can tell through her updates that she’s intuitive and observant which I appreciate, since my two dogs couldn’t be more different from one another! Definitely will be using her again if our schedules line up — thank you so much, Sam!!”

I can easily crate your dog if needed and always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Akupu
I cant overstate how important my cats are to me and I've been lucky to have friends care for them previously so i was very apprehensive when I had to find another option for my July trip which meant entrusting them to someone who didn't know how protective of them I am. I am so happy to have found Shane and was thrilled with his services. I felt reassured when he immediately suggested a meet and greet and became very comfortable as he asked all the right questions. Shane was very responsive before and during my trip and provided daily pictures. It says good things about Shane that he was able to do that as my cats hide when any stranger comes to the house and it was clear that many (not all lol they are cats after all) of my cats became comfortable enough to hang out when Shane was there. I will definitely book Shane again if the need arises. Thank you Shane.
Lawrence is absolutely amazing! We’ve trusted him with our pets twice now, and he’ll continue to be our first choice whenever we need a sitter. Our babies adore him, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such caring, capable hands. He keeps us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 683 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Akupu. 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.

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.
