“Andrew takes such good care of our dogs, I’m pretty sure they like him more than us. Really appreciate the photos and reports, and the concern and attention to detail! Thank you Andrew!”
“Kim was wonderful! My cats immediately warmed to her, and she went above and beyond in visits. I felt so much more at ease travelling knowing she was taking care of my babies.”
“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!”
“Our dog was really happy, and got a walk during the drop in visit. Sent us nice photos and took good care of our guy while we were out. Would definitely hire Jeshael and her partner again.”
“Bethany was great! I appreciated her quick response and flexible schedule, and she did a great job taking care of my cats, including giving medicine. I’ll definitely be using her again for upcoming cat care needs!”
“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”
“My dog is a very nervous dog and Melina is great with her. We did a meet and greet prior to the first visit. She was so patient with Millie and by the end Millie was asking for pets. We will def keep using Melina.”
“Kathleen really helped us out last-minute by stopping by twice to check on our senior dog and help him get outside to go potty while we were gone for 11 hours. We came home to a happy dog and zero accidents in the house. She was communicative and flexible in coordinating timing.”
“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate that you got the bun some carrots and pee pads when we ran out! It also was really cool of you to drop in twice. We always hate leaving our animals, but I felt they were very well taken of.”
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.
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.
“So happy we found Lilly on rover!! She really took the time to make sure our little Aussie was happy while we were away. Trustworthy and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur child, thanks again! ”
“Brae was super communicative and proactive. My cats look similar and she was the first sitter to immediately see the difference and treat them like the individuals they are. She clearly cared for my kitties and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands”
“Caroline was fantastic! Took amazing care of my cat and sent me lots of pics. I was reassured my entire trip knowing she was taking care of my cat. I highly recommend her!!”

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!!
I’d absolutely book Casey again. She took such great care of my cats and made everything super easy. She handled their whole routine perfectly — cleaned the litter boxes just how I asked, washed their food plates, and even ran the dishwasher so everything was fresh when I got home. She also vacuumed around the litter area without me even mentioning it, which was so thoughtful. My cats are pretty finicky and don’t really warm up to everyone, but they really liked her. When she stopped by to return my key, they recognized her right away and went straight over for head-scratches. That told me everything. Casey may be new to Rover, but she’s already a total gem. She’s reliable, kind, and incredibly thoughtful with the little details. I feel completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care — she’s my go‑to sitter from here on out.
We've booked with Ashley before, but this was her first booking with us this year — and she handled quite a bit! She took care of two new kittens, an older cat with asthma who needed an inhaler twice a day, and a six-year-old cat on daily medication. She's genuinely great with our cats, and we always come home to relaxed, happy, and healthy kitties. She communicated clearly and regularly throughout, and sent great photos. We'd absolutely recommend her!

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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Applewood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
