“Kathleen was able to quickly respond to an absent sitter situation and help out my mind at ease and enjoy my daughter’s graduation hundreds of miles away! Thank you!”
“Bryce was awesome. I left out of town for 2 days, he dropped in to check on my pup a few times a day and he was so respectful and kind to my pup. My pup loved going on walks with him. He was very responsive and followed directions very carefully.”
“My dogs felt comfortable enough to eat their dinner with Bethany and thats HUGE for one of my dogs. She followed directions and gave them love before leaving. Would highly recommend Bethany 💜”
About: Hey there! For the past several years, I’ve been the unofficial co-Rover helping my girlfriend with her Rover business. I've enjoyed getting to meet all the cats and dogs so much that I finally decided it was time to step out of the shadows and start my own profile, and I'm excited to get started! I have hands-on experience with pets of all ages, from high-energy puppies to senior animals who need a gentle hand or medication. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, which is why I pride myself on being reliable, highly communicative, and quick to respond. I'm a lifelong pet person - I've raised both dogs and cats for over two decades. I currently have two of my own (a dog named Bobby Boucher and a cat named Goose), but I'd love to help take care of your furry family members, too! Willing to take on pet care full time, open schedule for hosting and drop ins as well. This includes overnight care or any specialized service per request. It's important not only to take care of pets, but to make them feel at home and nurtured. this includes not only the specialized care per owner on the type of food, bathroom, and medical routines necessary to properly implement them into a different space, but also a sufficient amount of play and activity, which is something I strive to give every pet I watch.
“I’m so grateful for Megan. She was able to watch my pup with short notice. She was very kind and kept me up to date how my guy was doing. I could tell he was in great care with Megan. She let me know before she was leaving and I would love to work with her again! 11/10 stars!”
“Melina was great at helping us with our three cats while we were away on a two week trip. She was timely and sent pictures with updates every day. She also coordinated with my sister in law who was house sitting when one of the cats was too shy to eat.”
“so sweet and easy to communicate with!! she got along so well with my kitties and was super helpful with a last minute booking. sent us a great message about her visits and plenty of pictures!”
“Kim was friendly and enthusiastic and I feel like she genuinely made "friends" with my dog, she took as good care of her as I do myself! Thorough reports, responsive, and trustworthy.”
“Thompson was very communicative, so helpful and understanding. She took great photos, wrote nice notes and was able to quickly befriend our standoffish cat. We will be hiring her again in the future!”
About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
“Andrew did an amazing dog taking care of my pup George while I was away on a day trip. I came home to a happy, well-fed, and worn out pup! I would certainly recommend Andrew and use him again should the need arise.”
About: I have 15 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
“Our cat was well taken care of during our 8-day trip. They were reliable, communicated as needed, and everything went smoothly. We’d book with them again.”
“Looking forward to asking Donald to watch my cat again! Donald is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. My very shy cat was very comfortable around him.”
“Mishel goes above and beyond in her communication which is so nice, especially when you are new to this! She asked for lots of details and instructions and was so sweet with my pup. Thank you Mishel!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
Stephanie is great! Would definitely ask her to watch my bengal cats again! She was very communicative, especially since one cat was finicky about her food while I was gone. Sent tons of photos, which I appreciate, and I didn’t have to worry about my cats at all!
Brittany was great with my two cats during a recent trip. Her daily updates and pics put my mind at ease, and the cats seemed happy when I got home showing they received plenty of love and playtime Brittany will be the first person I check with next time I need a sitter
We had a great experience with our Kim! Our cat needs a daily inhaler, and she made sure he received it every day, which was such a relief and truly a lifesaver for him. She is very reliable, caring, and kept us updated while we were away. We will always continue to book with her!
Jasmin is great! We’ll be having her stay with our dog and cat while we’re away for a week, so after our meet and greet we’ve had her stop in for some walks. She’s been communicative and professional, and super loving and kind to the animals! Our sweet and nervous dog warmed up to her very quickly :)
We’ve had many Rovers do drop-in visits for our 2 cats and Makenna was by far the best! The litter box was thoroughly cleaned better than any other Rover in the past and our very shy cat warmed up to her to the point of purring!! When we returned our cats were calm and happy. We will definitely book her again!!

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

As of July 2026, there are 6,692 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Applewood. 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.
