“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. This is the second time we have booked and she takes the best care of my 3 cats. She is patient with their shyness and has been the only pet sitter to make a breakthrough with Gracie and Amore! Chase has found his new best friend even following her around. I feel confident and at ease when I’m traveling knowing she is taking great care of them. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking again.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi and how grateful we are to have found someone we trust with our little Baby Kitty, Bee, who is truly our whole world. Leaving Bee is so hard for us so knowing she was with someone who generally care about her and wanted her to feel loved meant more than I can say. Kelsi sent us a ton of adorable pictures and videos, and wrote us updates every evening, which was incredibly reassuring and made us feel so much better about being away from our precious little girl. It was so obvious that Bee was happy, spoiled (in the best ways), and very loved while we were gone, which completely melts our heart. Kelsi even left us the cutest little drawing of Bee with her final note for us to have when we got back. It was such a sweet, thoughtful touch. We are beyond happy to have found someone we can trust with our sweet little Baby Bee and will 1000% be requesting her every single time we need to sit, and I 1000% recommend her to you!”

About: I have had dogs and cats for all my life, and have cared for them for others for over 12 years. From kittens/puppies to seniors, I can care for them all! I will be your fur baby’s new best friend (other than you of course! 😁) in no time! I currently work on my own flexible schedule, so it is easy for me to fit your needs in! Just let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to accommodate! I will be as attentive to your fur baby’s as you need me to be. I will play with them, walk them and make sure they are getting food, water and treats (if those are okay!). I can also provide crating up to one large breed dog, and have spare leashes and brushes. I have two kitty backpacks if I ever need to transfer them without a leash. I know dog and cats CPR, and have several veterinary connections nearby for quick service if that is ever needed.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I was raised with dogs, birds, and fish. When I moved out on my own I had bunnies and two rescue dogs. We had our rescue dogs until the end of their lives at 13 and 14 years old. My children are elementary - middle school age and are great with animals. We miss having a pet around the house, but with our travel schedule it's simply not responsible to have a pet full time. We would love to open our home to your pets while you are away. We have experience with puppies, rescues, and seniors. We have a steady home routine, and pet care fits naturally into it. Being home throughout the day allows us to offer regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet supervision. We approach care thoughtfully and make sure each pet feels secure and part of our household rhythm. Our home is kept clean and organized, and we’re intentional about safety. We limit the number of pets we accept so each one receives attentive, individualized care. Whether a pet is social and active or more reserved, we adjust our approach to match their personality while maintaining consistent routines to help them feel secure. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, and have a backyard.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

About: I started regularly cat sitting for my dad’s coworker when I was 14. It was the first job I ever got paid for! Since then I have continued to enjoy taking care of the cats of my friends and family members. While I definitely prefer cats, I have taken care of my sister’s dog (dachshund/rat terrier/chihuahua mix) dozens of times, have pet sat a friend’s Alaskan Malamute, and used to provide afternoon/evening care (food, walks, play time) for and frequently pet sit the best golden retriever I’ve ever met (RIP River). Pet sitting is a part-time gig for me. I am typically available on week nights and often during weekends to provide drop-in visits for cat care. I will follow whatever rules and instructions I am given. My priority is making sure that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well taken care of.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ashwoods

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,207 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ashwoods. 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 Ashwoods. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
