“Beverly did a great job! Very communicative and professional. This was my first time on Rover so I had a lot of questions and she was very forthcoming in helping to understand and in ensuring that my time away was stress free and my cats were in good hands. Great job!”

“Marian did an amazing job caring for my cat. Nera is an indoor/outdoor cat, but she prefers outdoors mostly. Also, she usually hides from strangers, so she did not put in an appearance for the first two days that Marian checked in on her. Still, Marian sent photos showing she had restocked food and water. On the third day, Nera came inside, and Marian gave her lots of attention and again sent lots of photos. The next day she even brought a toy for Nera, and got down on hands and knees to coax Nera from beneath the bed for food and playtime. Marian gave exceptional service, and I will definitely book with her again!.”

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.

“Kristin is awesome! I booked check ins for Christmas day and the morning after. I'm so happy she could check on my two cats. She had mentioned to me at the meet and greet that this was her busiest Christmas week yet with a lot of bookings. I have worked in retail for a few years now and Christmas week can be so overwhelming, especially with now that I travel for family while having pets at home. I am so appreciative that she was able to show them care and attention even with one of the craziest weeks of the year. I had booked her in advance but even then I was worried and anxious about this. My job had me scheduled christmas eve, and then I was taking a midnight train to Florida that night. Plus this would be the first night that my cats were alone together without me. I'm just so happy that Kristin could check on them, they were happy and comfortable seeing her while I was gone. I am really thankful for her and she's a great sitter.”

About: (My legal name is Lauren, but I go by Alex, Rover won’t let me change it - so if you see my reviews and they all say Alex that is why) I have been caring for other’s pets for many years and have repeat clients because I treat their animal as if they are my own! I work full time during the week but have plenty of time after work/on the weekends to be fully invested in the well being of your pet. I have the sweetest puppy (almost a year old) at home who loves to play with other dogs. She is up to date on all her vaccinations, as we take her to off leash dog parks/daycare on a regular basis that require those records. I also have an 8 year old cat at home who keeps to herself.

About: I am a 20 year old college student at UofSC majoring in biology on a pre-vet track. I love animals and have been surrounded by them since I was little. I have experience with all ages of animals and can cater to their needs according. I have taken care of a variety of animals in the past including cats, dogs, hamsters, ferrets, and snakes. I love all animals so please feel free to reach out to me, I love gaining new experience with taking care of different breeds/species and it will definitely serve useful in my future career as a vet! I'm a dog mom of 3 so a majority of my day is helping take care of them. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and I make sure to provide them with enrichment throughout the day. Sadly now that I am back at school I don't get to see my fur babies as often anymore which is part of the reason I love being able to watch other people's animals. I do currently have a snake named cornflake who keeps me company in my apartment! I treat my animals like they are my children, and when I am watching a clients pet I make sure to treat them the same way. I make sure to follow a clients normal schedule with their pet(s) to try and reduce stress and I make sure to communicate any questions/concerns I might have. My priority is to cater to the animals individual needs including how much time they enjoy being outside, if they enjoy walks, if there is any training they do, their bathroom schedule, etc.

About: We specialize in dog walks, home visits for potty breaks and playtime, and cat litter changes. We both grew up around cats and dogs, so we're comfortable and confident with pets of all kinds. We both work from home, giving us flexibility to fit visits around your pet's schedule reliably. We're a recently married couple who both work remotely, which means there's almost always someone available to fit in a walk or a visit. Our schedule is flexible day to day, so we can be reliable and consistent with your pet's routine — whether that's a midday walk, a potty break, or a litter change. We're comfortable working around specific times your pet is used to. We're tidy and respectful of your space when we come by for a visit. We grew up with both dogs and cats, so we're comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and just keeping pets company. We stick to the routine your pet is used to, handle things like litter changes carefully, and always leave your home exactly as we found it. We're happy to send photo updates so you can check in while you're away.

About: I’m a local professional who is happy to work with you to meet your pets needs! I love animals, and strive to bring your beloved pets (and you!) the best experience I can while you’re away. My experience with different species is as follows: Cats: I’ve owned and fostered cats from a young age, and am largely comfortable handling most services for them. I have experience with socializing semi-feral cats, providing medication (no vaccinations, IVs, etc. please), even basic trick training! It’s my pleasure to make sure your cat is attended to, and will go above and beyond to meet your cats needs. My rescue, Doodle, is my pride and joy and I aim to provide the same level of care I hope someone would for them. Dogs: I have experience with all types of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitt Bulls to Pointers. I have several clients that are in the process of puppy training and manners training and can accommodate this during stays. I love every minute of my time with dogs and treat each client as if they were my own! Farm Animals: I’ve ridden and helped provide care for horses from the age of 4. I’m comfortable feeding, mucking, watering, helping with turn-in and out, etc. I have previous experience as a working student. Experience caring for pig, goats, cows, ducks, ducklings, chicks, and chickens. Able to provide care for other species as well, with instruction. Reptiles: I’ve personally owned and cared for a bearded dragon, and assisted in the care for axolotls, geckos, and small snakes. I am unable to feed live mice. Have an animal I haven’t listed yet? I’m still available! With experience from cats to turtles to fish to horses, I’m confident I’ll be able to meet your needs. It would be my pleasure to walk, visit, and care for your furry/scaly/best friend. I work full time in the area, but Rover because of my love for supporting animals and their families! I’m able to support both sits and drop ins, with drop ins outside of 8-5 during the week (with some flexibility over lunch hours), and sits through the week so long as your animal is capable of being alone up to 5 hours. Friday evening through Sunday I am available to provide constant care for your pet! Respect for your property is of utmost importance when caring for your animals. I will leave your place in a better condition as when I arrived, and have references that will attest to this. I am fine with property surveillance inside and outside as long as cameras are disclosed.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

Jennifer is an excellent cat sitter! She has made a friend of my shy cat, and she is very thoughtful about my cat’s care. For example, when the weather was possibly going to be rainy, she offered to go and let the cat inside if it started to rain. Jennifer writes thorough reports about her visits with Kit Cat and takes fun photos (and videos!). I feel fortunate to have found Jennifer.

My now-husband and I had to go out of town to get married and this was the first time that we had to rely on someone that we weren't close with to watch our kitties. It was imperative that we found someone that would make an effort to get them to warm up to them and that's exactly what Emma did. She was very communicative, always gave our kitties treats and really made an effort with them. It paid off, because even though they were super shy at the beginning of her time with them and hiding in closets, by her last drop in, they were coming out and allowing for her to pet them. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and really put us at ease. We will be using her again in the future!! 10/10!!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Arthurtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Arthurtown is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arthurtown. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
