About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I was raised with a Yellow Lab, Beagle, and German Shepherd, which gave me a strong foundation in dog behavior, exercise needs, and daily care. I currently have a 8-year-old Siberian Husky, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs, long walks, and structured routines. I also care for a 5-year-old rabbit, giving me experience with smaller pets and their unique needs. In addition, I regularly walk and help care for my friends’ dogs while they’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, patience, and attentive care. I currently work as a Physician Assistant- so I have an atypical schedule leaving me with availability on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays to care for your pets. I can provide walks, drop in visits, and feeding. I also have ability stay for extended hours if you are traveling or going away a for a long weekend. I currently work as a physician assistant so I have an atypical work schedule. I am available weekends(after 2pm), Mondays, and Tuesdays. Perfect for drop ins or walks when traveling, taking a long weekend, or going into the office I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding and walking schedules and other care preferences exactly as provided. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. I keep the home tidy, ensure fresh water is always available, and monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos to owners so they feel comfortable and connected while they’re away
“Kristen was a delight from the start. She is so sweet and kind. She took care of my cat for a weekend, not only feeding him, but she also administered medication, cleaned the litter box and spent some time with him. I would totally recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a cat sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I will be out of town 😁”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Barnum Island
What a wonderful experience when Lisa P came to our home to watch our three cats. Lisa was extremely professional ! I have 2 shy cats and 1 friendly cat who greeted Lisa every day! Lisa left a video and pictures every time she came to our house I you could tell how much she loves cats! I would highly recommend Lisa as someone who could take care of your cat/cats. You would be lucky to have her come to your home!
I highly recommend Marissa! She was so sweet and accommodating, and took excellent care of my senior kitty, Jonathan, who requires topical and injectable medications. It gave me peace of mind, leaving him in the capable hands of a LVT! I would definitely use Marissa again, and will recommend her to all family/friends who require pet care, especially for senior animals that require medications and extra TLC!
My second time hiring Kristen, she is great with my cat and he is a high-maintenance guy 🤣 she is so patient and caring 💜 and I appreciate her also spending time to hangout with him while I'm gone and so grateful she has no problems administering necessary medications. Will definitely continue to hire Kristen in the future and highly recommend her!
Stephanie took great care of my two cats, Oreo and Nala, while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and made sure their routines were kept consistent, which I really appreciated. Oreo is a social butterfly and enjoyed her company right away. What impressed me most was seeing my shy girl Nala slowly come out of her shell. By the last couple of visits she was rubbing against Stephanie and even allowing pets, which is a big deal for her. That alone speaks volumes to me. Stephanie also shared photos during the visits and kept things running smoothly while I was gone. I’m grateful that I was able to relax on my trip knowing my cats were being looked after, and came home to two happy kitties. Thank you again, Stephanie! 🐱
I have to say I was so nervous leaving my boys !! But then I met Janelle and my cats adored her … She took care of all their needs and made sure they were well looked after sending me messages and pictures it was a great experience and will use her in the future .. Timmy and Acey thank you !!
Angela was the best cat sitter we could have ever found. From the moment I requested to book, she was communicative and friendly. She came by the same day for a meet and greet and was so friendly to our little Laszlo. My boyfriend and I knew instantly that we would hire her. This is our first pet together and he’s a little baby so we were really worried to leave him for such a long time. Angela reassured us and made us feel comfortable way before our trip. We booked Angela for a daily drop in and she provided Laszlo with food, water and a litter box change. She gave Laszlo lots of cuddles and play time & provided us with live updates and photos. She also watered our plants and made sure to check in if we needed anything else. She instantly fell in love with Laszlo and gave him such great care and attention. It’s unfortunate that she lives in Brazil 8 months out of the year but we will 100% be using her again when she comes back. Angela is also a really outgoing person so I think I have just found a new friend! 100000/10. Best cat sitter ever!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 11,486 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Barnum Island. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barnum Island. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
