About: I take care of (actively) 4 dogs. My parents 2 pit bulls, a rescue we have who lives outside (also a pit), and my Pit curr mix. I’ve handled small dogs (dachshunds, Yorkies, chihuahuas, French bulldogs, English bulldogs) and big dogs (pits, pit crosses, muts, German shepards, golden retrievers) I’ve trained all the dogs in my care (sit, stay, no, go, come, shake, lay down, their names) I have been attacked by dogs before (unfortunately) so I know how to handle situations if that occurs (preferably for everyone’s benefit it doesn’t) I used to help my mother in her house cleaning business so I’m not uncomfortable cleaning up various pet messes if I need to as well. I work remote and I take care of my animals when I’m home. Feeding our flock of chickens and the outside dog, letting out all the ones inside, food water, playing with everyone. They take up most of my time honestly.. Preferably I don’t have ur pet in my home, I have too many animals in my care actively that that is not a great option for me or ur pet. However I am comfortable coming to ur home to take care of pets and go on walks. Preferably I drop by, feed and take out, maybe play then I go home to do my own chores. I wouldn’t be able to stay overnight but I can visit as often as needed usually.

“I left my 3 cats at home for the first time and was super nervous. Em kept me updated the whole weekend and sent photos. She even went out of her way to help resolve a problem. My shy cats also took a liking after a few days which made me feel better. I will definitely ask Em to look after my cats again for my future trips!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I want to help you with whatever you need, and make things easier and comfortable. I am able to follow specific instructions, and do whatever is needed to welcome the pet into my home or at make them comfortable at yours. I am currently looking for work opportunities, so I am home often/most of the day, so I will be able to play and hang with your animals for a bit, or be with them often if they are at mine. I take care of my animals everyday so it is not a big deal to add an extra. I have a fenced in back yard to let the dogs run free and three dogs and a cat at home. They will have at least one play partner to hang with them (the other two are a bit more reserved, but are good with others) or if you would like them separated, that is also okay. I am also able to walk the dogs if they need more exercise than just running around. I am willing to come to you if that is preferred and let your pets out or walk them. I do have a spare cage that can be used for your pet if you forget yours.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’ve fostered animals through the Humane Society, administered basic medications, followed feeding routines closely, and prioritize patience, safety, and affection. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible on weekends, plan my schedule around pet needs, and make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed. I prioritize a calm, clean, and safe environment at all times. In a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, keep doors secured, and respect the pet’s routine. I always monitor pets closely, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate updates so owners feel confident and at ease.

About: Many years of pet care experience by caring for my own dogs and cats and those of friends and family. I have cared for indoor and outdoor cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, and hamsters. I have cared for 3 litters of kittens and a litter of puppies too. I am a senior looking forward to retirement. I am responsible and trustworthy. I am currently working full-time weekdays but do have time after work and on weekends to care for your pets. I will also be retiring within the next year and am looking forward to having more time to devote to my passions. I would enter your home and immediately take your pup for a good walk and play time, then maybe a good brushing. I would make sure your fur babies all have fresh water and fresh food complete with any meds that might be needed. If any litter boxes need cleaning, I will happily take care of that and refill it. I can sit and play with them or just snuggle them for a bit before I am sure all is well and secure before I leave. If you rather have me stay in your home overnight, I am willing to do that also. Just let me know what you need. I want you to be secure in knowing your babies are well taken care of while you are gone.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes, from puppies until they cross the rainbow bridge. I love enriching my dogs’ lives and would do the same for yours :) I’m currently a student at UF studying Behavioral Psychology and would love to apply my knowledge in the field to assist with any behavioral needs! I’m currently working part-time and will be available many times a week, almost all afternoons/evenings and a few mornings. The longest I would be away is 8 hours. In my home, I currently care for two cats. I have harness trained one and we go for frequent walks, while my other kitty stays home with enriching activities like lick mats, puzzles, and more. My older cat has a few chronic health issues which I administer medication orally and optically for. To care for pets in your home, I would love to set up enrichment games, plan walks out, and offer amateur training experience! Every pet has different needs of course, so my care is specialized to your special one’s needs.

About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life, starting with my own cat who is now 11 years old. I’m very experienced with daily cat care, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and understanding their behavior. In addition, I’ve helped care for my family members’ dogs, handling walks, feeding, and general care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always follow their routine closely.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and co-workers. Taking them for walks, providing them with attention, and giving them medicine. I am very reliable. I follow the exact instructions that are given. I am home for most of the day. Which means I am available throughout the day to walk, play or just hang with your pet. If you would like me to feed them at a certain time I can do that as well. My dog usually eats at 5am and 5pm. I have a yard for dogs where I can walk dogs outside and where they will be safe. I have a dog of my own, who loves other animals. She also loves playing tug of war. If you need me to go by your home, whatever your instructions are I will follow.

“Will and his wife were wonderful hosts to my cat, who was diagnosed with some medical issues and needed special attention. They kindly accommodated my requests and instructions, and gave her medications on time. They were incredibly kind, attentive and clearly very loving to her during her stay! The photos and videos Will sent clearly showed how relaxed my cat was during her stay (which is not usually the case when boarded) and that they made her feel at home. Communication was also excellent, with constant updates throughout her stay. Will definitely re-book with them!!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Archer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Archer is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $11 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.

As of November 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Archer. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Archer. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
