“Kelly is fantastic. She is dependable, and listens to instructions well. I have 2 cats, 1 is people shy, and they both warmed up to Kelly. I will definitely be calling her again. I have also recommended her to my family. Great personality, and perfect for my two boys”

I am working on getting my home approved, but for now only at client’s home. I will be making schedule available to first come first serve.

“Faith was phenomenal!! We were gone for over 12 days for our wedding and she house sat and cat sat for our kitty. We felt so comfortable being away to enjoy our wedding knowing Charlie was in good hands with Faith looking after him!! She sent pictures daily and she played with him, brushed him, kept him company and made sure he had with water and food. She kept our house nice and clean and was the perfect pet sitter. Highly recommend!! So happy he was well taken care of.”

“Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!”

“Haylee was great and very understanding of my situation with my dog who can be wary of new people. She took the time to get to know my dog and went at her pace. Haylee was also very receptive to my instructions for interacting with my dog (for everyone's comfort and safety!) and her routines. Next time we need a sitter, I will definitely get in touch with Haylee.”

About: I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet with the same love and respect I’d give my own. I have two of my own doggies! I always adapt to your pets individual needs. I’m patient, gentle, and never in a rush. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate same-day bookings or last-minute requests. Whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins, I’ll do my best to work around your need just send me a message! I totally get how important it is to know your pet is safe and in good hands. I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out during a dropin. I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.

About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’m an Animal Science graduate from Cal Poly with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. During college, I worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My experience has taught me that caring for a dog is about more than just walks, meals, and playtime—it’s about understanding them. I’m very familiar with dog body language and behavior and pay close attention to the little things that tell me how a pup is feeling. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or somewhere in between, I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Communication is a huge priority for me. If your pup gets injured, has an upset stomach, vomits, has diarrhea, starts acting differently, or simply seems a little “off,” I’ll let you know as soon as possible. You’ll never be left wondering how your pup is doing while they’re in my care! And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, I’ll provide daily report cards so you can keep up with all the fun, cuddles, walks, and adventures your pup had that day. 🐶💕 My goal is to give your pup the same patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member! I currently work from home, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule can vary from day to day, but I’m generally able to work pet care into my routine and make sure your pup’s needs always come first. If I do need to step out for a little while -whether I’m grocery shopping, running an errand, meeting a friend -you can still feel confident knowing your pup is safe and cared for. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and settled before I leave and will always plan around their feeding, potty, medication, and exercise needs. I’m happy to discuss your pup’s specific routine and schedule ahead of time so we can find what works best for everyone! I live in an apartment with my two dogs and two cats, so my home is already a pet-friendly environment. My dogs are very well socialized and have experience being around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. They have never been ones to instigate a fight, but I always prioritize safety and comfort when introducing animals. When caring for your pup, I’ll keep interactions with my own pets limited at first and will have my pets in a separate space when needed so your dog can settle in and feel comfortable without being overwhelmed. If you’re comfortable with it and your pup seems like a good match, I’d also be more than happy to gradually introduce them to my dogs after they’ve had some time to settle in. I do live in an apartment, but I have access to a fenced-in yard where I regularly take my own dogs to potty, stretch their legs, and get some outdoor playtime. I’m happy to give your pup plenty of opportunities to get outside as well, depending on their routine and needs.

Samantha was absolutely great! Responsible on time and took wonderful care of my Shelby. My cat is not very social she took the time and he felt comfortable. I will for sure have Samantha check in on my Shelby every time we travel😻

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bannister

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
