About: I grew up working at the SPCA for many years as a dog walker and care taker, and I have also had the privilege of growing up with dogs my entire life. Now, I work at a barn with horses, donkeys, cats, and many many dogs! I am very responsible and know how to quickly handle any situation. I am an animal person at heart, and I am specifically good at connecting with dogs. Not only with this be fun for your dog, but also for me, as I enjoy being outdoors, getting exercise, and spending time with animals. Thank you for trusting me with a part of your loving family. I currently work remote so I am able to fit walks or drop ins to my flexible schedule. Stepping away from computer work to spend time with some animals? Sign me up! I have two loving and friendly, but rather big dogs at home, so I am good at handling larger animals that require more attention. I am attentive and will keep your home exactly how you left it.
About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience I've cared for animals of every size, from dogs and cats and everything in between! I truly love and appreciate all animal personalities, whether your pet is an energetic explorer, a shy cuddle bug, or somewhere in between. What sets me apart is my background with special medical needs for both dogs and cats, ensuring your pets receive precise, attentive, and safe care in the comfort of their home. Whether it's a refreshing neighborhood walk, medication management, or simple drop in TLC, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! Because my schedule offers great flexibility, I can easily accommodate midday walks, early morning check-ins, and evening drop-ins. Taking care of animals isn't just an item on my to-do list, it's a highlighted part of my day that I genuinely look forward to, ensuring your pets get consistent, unhurried attention. When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and sticking strictly to their established routines. I start every drop in or walk by securing the home, greeting your pets calmly, and letting them set the pace for interaction - whether that's an energetic game of fetch, a slow neighborhood stroll, or quiet cuddle time. I handle all essential care with meticulous attention to detail, including feeding, freshwater refills, litter box or mess clean up, and administering any required medications. Before leaving, I always double check water bowls, secure all entry points, and send you a thorough update with photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.
“Ryan is the best! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures while we’re away. We always feel safe and comfortable with him watching our fur kids. Thanks Ryan!”
“Ella is our go to. She has watched our two cats multiple times and they love her visits. She handles all their supplements and particular instructions easily. We always appreciate her care and feel better knowing they are in her care when we are away.”
“Brittany was so great! I was nervous about being away from my cat for the first time but she made the experience so relieving. She made sure to give me updates with pictures each visit and was super sweet. Extremely responsive and responsible; I’ll definitely be trusting her with my animals again! 😊”
“Bethany does a great job taking care of our cat. She spends time playing with him and giving him his favorite squeeze treats. She is responsive to messages and sends plenty of pictures and updates on her visits.”
“Heather has watched my pets twice now and I will definitely be keeping her! She takes great care of the furries, leaves me detailed notes and asks questions. Love having her!”
“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!”
“Ginna has been amazing with my new land shark puppy, and being able to start right away and work with our schedule. She has been a life saver helping out with the baby!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Bowie! She was incredibly affectionate and attentive, making sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time I was away. Grace did such a fantastic job that I could travel with total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
“Emma was a wonderful cat sitter! She was really communicative, sent lots of photos, and I really appreciated the day to day check ins she would provide. Our cats certainly began warming up to her and I highly recommend!”
About: Between humane society volunteering and working at shelters I've had years of hands on experience with all types of animals. I love them all! Looking to continue working with animals in a more intimate setting. Pet sitting is my full time occupation! I make loving your pets my highest priority. I’m available last minute for overnight stays and drop-ins! After having taken hands on classes at the humane society I am well prepared for reading animal body language in diverse environments with different types of animals. I always make sure the animals care and comfort is the first priority.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
We have used Amie for several years now, and she has always been dependable, responsible, and you can tell she loves and cares about animals. Recently we were on vacation across the country, and Amie alerted us that our cat was ill and vomiting blood. With our permission, she went above and beyond and took our cat to the Emergency Clinic and stayed there until my sister could arrive. Amie was there every step of the way for us, and we can't thank her enough. She's awesome!
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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Applewood on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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.
