“Sophia was great! She arrived for the meet and greet and visit promptly and seemed to care a lot that our kitty was getting everything she needed. She communicated with us well and answered any questions we had.”
“This was our first time using someone we didn’t know to take care of our cat while we were out of town, and it was a great experience. Our cat warmed up to Ellie immediately at the meet and greet, and it was so nice to get picture updates while we were away!”
“Leslie was great and was extremely prompt. Our cat believes strongly in stranger danger but it's obvious that Leslie was amazing as it only took a few hours for Hotdog to forgive us for leaving. We will absolutely rebook Leslie in the future.”
“Asia was amazing! She was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates throughout their time together. I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I started walking dogs around the age of 16 part time, I transitioned into full time with a company in Crofton Md. I spent over 5 years there before opening up my very own company, I am Red Cross CPR certified in animal aide, I have been trained professionally in diabetic cats and dogs, and professionally trained to handle aggressive dogs. I’ve taken dog handling and dog behavioral classes. And also walked dogs in New York City for a company and also on my own for 3 years. Not only do I THOROUGHLY take care of animals but I treat them like my very own. Every animal is a family member and should be treated and respected as such. Plus who doesn’t think animals are Absolutley adorable? I am a stay at home dog and cat mom! My schedule is open and flexible to focus on your loved ones, it gives me plenty of time to spend cuddling, walking, playing, and keeping your pets mind off the fact they miss you. The moment your pet comes into my care, I treat it as my very own, and yes that includes spoiling them!!! I am very cautious about open doors , leashes and etc. I never let animals in my own house be by themselves. An eye should always be watching same as children
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s a part of my everyday life. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, and I have pets of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs playtime or a senior cat who just wants a calm, cozy space, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. As an adult student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I love having that extra time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve — whether that means daily walks, play sessions, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and available when pet parents need someone they can count on. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel right at home. I stick to their usual routines — feeding times, walks, medication if needed — and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pets on a familiar schedule. I take time to bond with each pet, provide updates to the owners, and make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, love, and full attention to their needs.
“Alexandra is awesome! She made my trip away from home stress free and took great care of my two cats for me while I was gone. She has excellent communication skills and works to make sure you are reassured while away!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs- all sizes and ages. I helped my father train dogs for his business. I also have a service dog at home who is trained and got certified. I have my own cat baby who I’ve had since we were both young. I currently do work part time as a customer experience associate but my hours are very set normally and can be flexible with proper notice. Before being left alone with your pets I would like to do an in home visit to meet everyone and go over routines and where everything goes.
“Kelly took great care of my two cats (drop in visits) while I was gone for a week. She followed the care instructions that I left and sent me pictures every day. I will use her again and recommend her to orhers.”
About: I've always helped take care of the animals in the household since I was little. My family used to breed our dogs so I have experience with raising puppies from birth to when they leave for their forever homes. I have looked after other family members pets as well. I am a college student so I can work around my class schedule to spend as much time needed with you beloved pets and make sure they are taken care of! Making sure your pets are comfortable and that their daily routines stay continued is very important. Trusting me with your lovely pets is a great accomplishment for me and very exciting.

My family and friends always rely on me for my help. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work with animals daily and have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I build pet care into my routine by making time for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home! 🐾 I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and opportunities to relax. I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. I love making sure every pet gets one-on-one attention, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, getting extra cuddles, or simply lounging around. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness and treat every pet as if they were my own. ❤️
About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.
About: Love all animals in general, I have cats, chickens, turkeys, pigeons and lifelong dog lover, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like family while providing safe walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you are away. I work a rotating 24-hours-on, 48-hours-off schedule as first responder. This gives me two full days between shifts for pet care, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time. My availability varies weekly, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly before accepting a booking. Pets staying with me will have a clean, comfortable, climate-controlled finished basement with plenty of room to rest and play. I will provide regular attention, exercise, feeding, bathroom breaks, and supervision while following each owner’s instructions. Safety and responsibility are always priorities, and I will send regular photos and updates.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Applegate
Kristy was responsive, compassionate, and took the time to notice and appreciate each of our animals’ needs and personalities. Everyone seemed happy and satisfied when we got home in the evening which gave us such peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her time and availability! Would highly recommend to other pet parents.
Connie is always excellent. She did two visits to my cats this time. She provided a detailed description of what she did while visiting them each day and sent best pictures! I am so glad I found Connie on Rover! She has been a huge help to us when we travel!!!!
Kim is an amazing petsitter! My family and I got our two cats a year and a half ago. We were pretty anxious about leaving them for a week for a family vacation abroad. I was even more anxious as this would be the first time ever that we would leave them for an extended period of time. Kim did a great job of sending me daily photos of my cats and little notes each day of how they were doing which was so important to me. I deeply appreciated Kim’s intentional and loving care towards my beloved pets and will definitely rebook her if I have any future trips. Thank you!
This is our second time asking Delores to watch our cat Poe and we will continue to ask her in the future! She is amazing, very communicative, and really cares about the animals she is watching. She also went above and beyond and took in our packages and took out our trash while we were gone. We really really appreciate her!
Erika is amazing! She was very quick to respond to my short notice request and took incredible care of my cat, Mia. She brought treats and played with Mia every day of her booking. She did so well that Mia was absolutely in a great mood (and health) when I returned from my trip. A big feat with a 14 year old cat! Thank you!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Applegate is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
