“Emily was an absolute star! She took excellent care of our cat, Simon, while we were away — feeding him, refreshing his water, playing with him, and most impressively, expertly giving him his oral medication! She also left our home so clean and well-kept! We recommend Emily to anyone and everyone!”

“Shannon came exactly as scheduled and was very thorough with her visit reports. She was flexible with our dog's sometimes fussy personality and made sure her needs were met. Shannon gets our highest recommendation!”
“Elissa was amazing and easy to work with. Our dog took to her so well in our meet and greet which really set the tone. She took appropriate time during her drop ins and provided great pictures and updates!! We will definitely book again!”

“Blake was awesome! Such a nice human and was very responsive, responsible, punctual and reliable during his time with Scarlett. He had recurring visits with her for a week before moving away otherwise we would have continued care with him!”

About: Growing up, animals weren’t just pets in our home — they were family. I’ve spent my whole life caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rats, snakes, lizards, pigs, and backyard birds like turkeys, chickens, ducks, and quail. My mom worked as a wildlife rehabilitator, so from a young age I helped nurse injured and orphaned wild animals back to health — including squirrels, rabbits, beavers, opossums, raccoons, and turtles. That experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive with animals of all temperaments and needs. Our family currently has two dogs and I have my own pet rats, so I’m an active, hands-on pet owner every single day. Sadly, I lost my own beloved dog last year, and that experience only deepened my understanding of just how much our pets mean to us. Whether your pup needs a fun, energetic walk or a calm, caring sitter while you’re away, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. Your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands! 🐾 I’m currently a student so my schedule allows me to work on evenings, weekends and holidays. Once summer is here, I will be completely free! In Your Home When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any specific rules or preferences you have for your pet. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I make sure to give plenty of love, playtime, and attention while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your fur baby is doing! Dog Walking Every dog is different, so I tailor each walk to your pup’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether they love a brisk adventure or prefer a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, we’ll have a great time! I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always keep safety a top priority. After the walk, you’ll receive an update so you know your pup had a wonderful time.
About: I grew up in Texas with two dogs and two cats. And I’ve had my currently dog, Theo, since he was 5 weeks old. And I also have experience with an elderly dog with diabetes needs. I am in grad school as well as a research assistant. I make my own hours making my schedule flexible. I’m excited to meet new pets. I will keep your space clean and allow your pet the most comfortable experience I can I am in grad school and a research assistant. I have class MWF 9-10 am. Then TTh 11-12:15 &2-3:15. I create my own hours for research. So otherwise I am normally flexible on time! I love going on walks with dogs, time/distance depending on breed and age. Every dog is different but playtime and enrichment are very important in our home so I’ll do what I can to incorporate that in their lives as well! Same with cats, depending on comfortability!
About: I grew up with pet dogs. I've since become a "cat lady" but continue to love dogs. Out on neighborhood walks I have to stop and pet every dog and cat I meet! There's nothing like a bright dog face and and a wagging tail or a cat purring and rubbing against my legs! I'm recently retired and have lots of time to spend taking care of your pets. I'm available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings, and holidays. I'm flexible and open to hearing about your pet sitting scheduling needs. I grew up with dogs, but now I'm a cat lady who loves and pampers my little boy, Mr. Kitty. I prepare special food for him, give him lots of attention, and take him for long walks in his cat stroller. I'm an energetic and responsible recently retired hospice nurse. I'll pamper your pets and give them the greatest care. I'll also treat your space with respect and maintain a clean environment in your home.
“Amanda was great with my dogs and helped me out tremendously so I could go on vacation. She was very friendly and provided updates and communication promptly and often!”


“Holly was phenomenal. Very responsive, great updates and pictures of our dogs. She came over to meet the dogs and get a feel for their routine and temperament before handing her the reins for the weekend. My wife and I would use holly again and recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”
“Could not get our dogs boarded for the 4th of July weekend; they really freak out over fireworks! Was so pleased with Ashleigh and Jacob!! The girls were much happier staying at home,and were so well taken care of! I highly recommend this couple and will definitely book again when needed!! ?”
“Morgan is a saint!!! my kitty loves her and she is amazing with him! i always know he’s in safe hands with her and when i had an emergency come up and had to extend my booking she completely put my mind at ease!”

“Madelynn was amazing with my kitties, and gave them loads of love and attention. She sent great pics & kept me updated the entire time! I felt so much more comfortable with her there. She was warm & friendly, wanting to introduce herself beforehand, and gave some information about herself, which made the whole process that much better!”

“Becca is amazing!! My dog is super shy and usually slow to make friends, but he immediately took to her! She was so kind and calm with him, and really paid attention to and respected how he might be feeling. She‘a also extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! Diego and I look forward to booking her again!”

“Zaina was great with my 2 little dogs. They loved her immediately. She was good to let me know how they were doing. She showed a lot of patience to the one who is losing vision and was able to calm him. So thankful! I would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little and have always had a huge love for pets. I grew up helping feed, water, and care for animals while making sure they were always happy, safe, and well cared for. I also have my own dog, Charlie Brown, who absolutely loves cuddles and treats, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter in my home town where I helped clean kennels, feed animals, spend time playing with them, and help make sure they felt loved while waiting to find their forever homes. I’m passionate about giving pets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and feel safe in their environment. I’ll follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, or special care requests to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family — with lots of patience, affection, and attention.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Appleby on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 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.
