Adia was great with our two (2) fur boys. She’s very professional and communicated with us and sent pics with each visit, while we were out/town. Adia came once a day for 12 days and spent time with them, doing what they like doing, especially hanging on the front porch. She cleaned up the mess that they made from time-2-time and even did her best at wiping up our lil boy dog’s mark with urine (uhg🙄), when he did it! He knows better!! 🤦‍♀️ I would hire Adia again if I ever need another dog sitter in the future. Thank you . 🥰

Was able to come by at the last minute to help let my dog out when I had to attend a series of all-day events in town. Immediately responsive and so sweet to my little River!

I can’t thank Claire enough for the wonderful care she provided for my cat! She was incredibly reliable, always keeping in touch with us throughout the week. Claire went above and beyond by sending several photos with each visit, which really put my mind at ease. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for animals and took great care of my kitty. Highly recommend her services!

Mimi did an absolutely incredible job during drop in visits to our house. It was the first time our dog had been left home alone, and it went wonderfully!!! Mimi provided lots of photos and followed the provided instructions. Very very friendly and put our mind at ease while being away for the weekend. Highly recommend Mimi and will definitely be using her again! A+++++ We have cameras in the home and could see how happy our girls were to see Mimi every time. Thank you!!!

Kate came for drop in visits with our 2 tiny toy poodles. Our girls can be timid but I knew right away after meeting her that she knew how to manage these two. She and her husband took their time getting to know the girls and it was obvious the girls were comfortable! Kate made regular visits and was great about communicating, which put my mind at ease. If I sent a text or called there was always an immediate response. Kate also sent lots of pictures. We just got home from our time away and the girls are happy and healthy. We will most certainly be contacting Kate again. I highly recommend her sitting services!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats of all kinds for 6 years now. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and extend love to their pets. I enjoy meeting new pets and adapting to their needs. I work a full time job myself but adjust so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I know how important it is to show care and love to all pets any time of the day! I have a fenced yard and one dog that’s not even close to harmful. I also have two cats that live a life of their own and cause no bother to anyone. Anything that is requested can certainly be met.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire adulthood. Animals are angels on earth and truly part of what makes life so special. I don’t trust just anyone with my own fur baby, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to care for them when you need to travel or work extended hours. My entire family has dogs and I occasionally pet sit for relatives or friends who need it, so I figured I could do that more consistently to help others as well. I am between jobs and exploring what comes next, so I’m available all the time to love and care for your pups while you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard that pups can run around in. I am liberal with giving treats, but will absolutely respect and follow what your dog’s feeding and treat needs are. I love engaging with pups and learning their personalities, so they won’t be ignored in any way while they are with me. Senior dogs are welcome.

About: Ive pet sit since I was 14, both paid and unpaid, and I love it! I have experience with difficult dogs/cats (multiple high energy pups in one home) and a moody pet does not scare me off. Currently, 30 hours, of my week (~5hrs a day) is spent at my job at a cafe. Outside of that I can fit your fur baby into my schedule before or after work or on my off days! I never work late and my schedule is very flexible Being able to read the body language of your pup/kitty is a crucial skill that I have a lot of experience in. Being in your home, I know Im in their space

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs extra patience, a playful kitten, or a shy cat, I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to administer medications if needed and follow any special care instructions. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I make it a priority to be on time, stick to your pet’s routine, and give them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences you provide. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows, and leaving everything just as I found it. During each visit, I’ll send photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for dogs for years, starting with pet sitting for my best friend's dogs and later helping my sister care for pets in our community. My experience grew even further when I worked for a year at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also worked at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable knowledge about both dogs' and cats' health, behavior, and daily care needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own- providing plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and safe, reliable care while you're away. I am currently seeking a summer job before returning to college for the upcoming academic year. I am motivated to gain valuable work experience, develop professional skills, and earn income to help support my educational expenses. I am dependable, eager to learn, and available to work every day throughout the summer season, including weekends if needed. I am looking for an opportunity where I can contribute positively while building experience that will benefit me both personally and professionally. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give pets plenty of affection and attention, monster their well-being, and maintain clean and secure environment.

About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m very familiar with all the ups and downs that come with pet care. On top of that, I have experience working as a veterinary assistant where I was in charge of boarding, walking, bathing, and cleaning after all types of animals! I currently work full-time Tuesday through Friday. However, I am completely free on those afternoons and from Friday afternoon through Monday. So if you need an afternoon dog walker or a sitter for a weekend get away, I’m the person for you! I am very open to caring for pets in the way that you would like me to. I’m comfortable with following a strict schedule or making one up for you! I assure that updates such as pictures, videos, and texts will come as often as requested.

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

About: Hey there! I’m Sarah. I'm so excited to be here on Rover! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. My mom was a rescue manager, so naturally, her love for furbabies poured over to me, as well.  I grew up helping my mom with our furfamily, fosters, and I even went with her when she was pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. I wanted to be as much help as I could to my mom and them. Tho my mom doesn’t pet sit anymore, she is still my go to and may come with me from time to time to help. In mentioning my mom, she drinks coffee out of a mug that reads, "I WILL SAVE THEM ALL." I love that mug! We have a furfamily of 5 dogs and 2 cats. I love them all so much and am grateful for each of them. They make me smile from ear to ear on a daily basis. I also work full-time 3 to 1130 Thursday-Monsay. I could work on my off days, which is Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but that has to be midday visits/walks Available Thursday-Monday 7 AM to 3 PM. Of note, I will always do my very best to give plenty of notice for days I will not be available (ie. Holidays and personal time off, etc.). I offer drop-in services only. I am excited to have this opportunity to be there for you. I understand how important it is to be able to trust who takes care of your furbabies. I will indeed take care of your furbabies as if they were a part of my family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 527 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ama. 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 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.
