About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.

I have used Ruth several times and could not be happier with the services she provides. Ruth demonstrates a high level of professionalism, punctuality, and attentiveness to my dog, Frankie. Ruth has excellent communication skills and replies to my messages promptly with pictures of her visit with Frankie. There have been several occasions when I've needed last minute dog walks or visits due to a work emergency, and Ruth always is able to jump in and help me out with last minute notice. Most importantly, my dog Frankie absolutely LOVES her! I highly recommend Ruth for all your animal needs!

Bradley did an awesome job with our 3, 50+ lb dogs! He came over for a meet and greet because our pack can be a little protective and they warmed up to him immediately! Our female even laid by his feet most of the time which surprised us! We always got updates right on time with pictures of each pup and he even brought our mail inside off the porch one day. We were very happy to have found Bradley right in our neighborhood especially when our original dog plans fell through less than 24 hours before we left for vacation!

About: I have taken care of all of my families pets for most of my life. I also used to help my godmother with her pet sitting/walking business and through this learned the ins and outs of pet sitting and what different owners require! I currently work a part time job where I am given the schedule for the next week the week before, but I have 14 days to schedule off of work. So, my schedule is open as long as I am given well enough notice to be able to call off of work! My experience with my personal animals is that I feed, wash, and provide my pets with the care they need. My personal animals are in a fenced yard, but I frequently walk them around my neighborhood. With my cats I provide similar care, taking care of their litter and grooming and food needs.

About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog. I work part-time/variable schedule and my roommate works full-time from home so there is almost always someone home. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days of the week consistently for caring for your pet. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pup to play. My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.

Yesenia & Michael did a great job caring for our dog and out horse when we went on vacation! They even helped out by giving our cat her medication when she came up with a last minute sickness. They kept us updated with reports and pictures so that we could relax and have have a worry free vacation knowing our babies were taken care of. We will definitely use them again!

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience. All dogs must be bathed before sitting, and your home must be clean and sanitary including any bedding, sheets, towels I may be using, and all surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them and your home to be cleaned up and sanitary while I am in your home, just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe, taken care of, and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be supplied upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies or any cleaning supplies. I also will not pet sit at your home if there are any people/family members there. I pet sit alone and I do not require or need assistance due to my experience. Upon arrival, if I find any of my rules stated not up to standard, I most likely will reach out to rover for help if I am not comfortable staying in an unclean environment. Thank you for your understanding! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.

About: Hello, ROVER FAMILY!! It is a complete honor to give you a brief story about my pet experience that led to my ROVER account being created and listed. I grew up in Virginia and my family had both cats and dogs. I attended pet visits with my grandmother, where the family pet recieved shots and nutrition check ups. I worked along side with my grandfather, while walking, feeding and bathing them as well. I also cared after my pet boxer, Sasha, as she gave birth to 2 litters. My brother and I took turns walking, playing and interacting with our childhood pets, and we enjoyed outdoor time around them. I understand how important rendering the best care to your pets can mean to you. Their safety, their eating lifestyle, and their health is an important key factor, and It is how they live longer!! My daughter is now home for summer break, and that means that I am free for more ROVER bookings than in a regular school year. PET CARE will be given in the homes of PET PARENTS only. I will follow guidlines and rules as needed, that will be provided by the owner.

Isabella did a great job taking care of our senior cat. She communicated right away when Punkin was too stressed and anxious to give her medicine. She suggested another way which worked well. The communication every day through Rover eased my mind about leaving Punkin by herself. We will definitely be using Isabella again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bartow on Rover is $35.52 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,188 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bartow. 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 Bartow. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
