About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.

About: Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a multitude of pets. From energetic and playful youngsters to wise and delicate seniors. I have gained valuable experience in tending to the needs of beloved animals. Rest assured, I am fully equipped to handle all the responsibilities that come with caring for your cherished pet! I currently work from home and am able to care for your pet as if you were home. The most I would be away is for an hour or so. I am fortunate to possess a dog-friendly haven, perfect for leisurely strolls and a large fenced in yard for play! My home is always clean for myself and my guests, regardless of how many legs.

About: My name is Lauren, and I just recently graduated with my masters degree. I currently have two jobs, but I would love to make a little extra cash so that I can fulfill my dream of moving to Boston! Given my love for animals, I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a great additional source of income. I currently have one sweet baby named Darcy, who is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I have been around both cats and dogs my entire life, as I grew up with them around the house. I have also done pet sitting for neighbors growing up, and I often watched my friends’ emotional support animals at college while they visited home. My current schedule is a bit random depending on the week, but I am always available in the evenings, 7 days a week. Some days I’ll only have one job rather than both, which gives me more availability (those days are usually Sat, Sun, or Mon). My yard is fenced and my dog gets along with others very well! I am also absolutely open to coming to your home to care for your pet if that is your preference.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and. are and have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and a little more care with their routines. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply providing companionship and a comfortable environment. I don’t have experience caring for cats but I have been around cats! I currently work M-F 8-5. I would be able to drop in before and after that and anytime on the weekends. Whether that is walking or checking on the pets. I am attentive to pets in their own homes and respectful of others belongings. I do not offer to care for pets in my home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2019 and gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, kittens, and older dogs. I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and individual care needs. I’ve also raised my own pets, including my current puppy and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and especially comfortable with anxious pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is fairly flexible, with school being my main set commitment. I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and needs. I’ll communicate with you about availability ahead of time and make sure your pet gets the consistent care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and following each pet’s normal routine. For drop-ins and walks, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and other needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and will keep pets supervised throughout my visit. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.

About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.

About: I grew up around dogs (English Setters) and have lived with cats for the last 4 years. I have experience raising both types of pets from 8 weeks or younger through old age. I am happy to help taking care of younger pets as well as older pets both of which may need a lil extra TLC at times. Pets of all types and temperaments are deserving of the best care possible. I’m currently enrolled in a masters program at USF. I am usually some type of pharmaceutical scientist but was let go because of a company rework. I’m taking this time to enjoy life’s small things and get my puppy/cat fix! I have taken care of pets in different environments, from those with a fenced in yard, to apartment pets. I know consistency and communication are key for pet sitting and am happy to keep as close as possible to a pets expected routine and send as many photos and updates as makes you comfortable!

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away

★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely book with her again! ❤️🐾

Camila was excellent with my kitties. I am so pleased with how she took care of feeding them and cleaning the litter boxes. I know I will be booking Camila in the future. I was skeptical about using a service for my kitties. They have never been looked after except by family. I am so grateful to Camila for her attention and care!

My husband and I did a spur of the moment thing and took the kiddos to Sea World. Abigail took good care of my fur babies and kept in touch with messages and photos. It was so nice not to worry and have a good time with my family. I truly appreciate her doing this at the very last minute. I highly recommend her 😊

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Balm

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Balm is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 3,116 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Balm. 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 Balm. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
