“This is our 3rd time having Kelly sit for our pups and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of my pups and my house and I never have any worries while I am away.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and am ready to care for all you’re furry babies!! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages. I am a college student so I am pretty flexible with my hours! I’m done with school by 2 everyday and I am available always on weekends! I really care about all kinds of animals and I would consider myself to be over attentive. Bowls will never be empty and your pet will never not be loved on!!
About: My dog was my best friend, and I cared for her since I was 9 years old. She passed in early 2024. I'm 24 now, and still just as enthusiastic about caring for dogs. Though it's far too soon for me to get another dog of my own, being around other people's pets helps to fill the gap, so I've since taken up work as a kennel technician. I'll take care of your furry friends as if they're my own! I will be available to walk your dog during the weekdays! I currently work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible! I know first-hand how time consuming a pet can be, so I'd love to take advantage of my current free time and help out as much as I can. I am willing to take your dog on a 30-60 minute walk depending on need, cleaning up after them along the way. I am also willing to work on leash training if necessary. You can trust that you will have a very happy dog afterward!
About: As a pet sitter, my dedication to providing exceptional care sets me apart. I have extensive experience in: Puppy Training: I can handle basic obedience training, housebreaking, and socialization to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved adult. Senior Pet Care: I am well-versed in the special needs of senior pets, including administering medication, monitoring health conditions, and providing gentle, attentive care. Behavioral Management: I can manage pets with anxiety or behavioral issues, creating a calm and safe environment for them. Health and Wellness: I am knowledgeable about pet nutrition, exercise requirements, and can identify early signs of health issues. Customized Care Plans: I tailor my care approach to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. My commitment to understanding and meeting each pet’s individual needs ensures they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Pet care is a significant part of my daily and weekly routine. I ensure a structured schedule that prioritizes the well-being of the pets in my care. My typical routine includes: Morning Routine: Early morning walks or playtime to ensure pets start their day with exercise and stimulation. Feeding breakfast and fresh water, along with administering any morning medications. Quick grooming session to check for any issues and ensure they look and feel their best. Midday Check-ins: Midday walks or outdoor playtime to break up the day and provide additional exercise. Midday meals or snacks if required, and a fresh water check. Brief health check to ensure pets are comfortable and healthy. Afternoon Routine: Another round of exercise or play, focusing on activities that engage their mind and body. Feeding dinner and fresh water, along with administering any evening medications. Spend quality time with the pets, offering affection and companionship. Evening Routine: Evening walks or relaxation time to wind down the day. Final health check and grooming if necessary. Ensure they are comfortable and settled for the night. Weekly Tasks: More extensive grooming sessions, including baths and nail trims. Thorough cleaning of pet areas, including bedding, toys, and feeding areas. Monitor and replenish supplies like food, medications, and grooming products. By integrating pet care into my routine, I ensure each pet receives consistent, attentive, and loving care throughout the day and week. In-Home Pet Care: Safety Measures: Conduct a thorough home inspection to identify and eliminate any hazards. Secure all doors, windows, and fences to prevent escapes. Keep toxic substances out of reach, including cleaning supplies and certain plants. Use pet-safe cleaning products to maintain a healthy environment. Trust Building: Arrange a meet-and-greet to establish a rapport with the pet and understand their needs. Communicate regularly with pet owners, providing updates and photos. Respect the owner’s home by following specific instructions and maintaining cleanliness. Environment: Create a comfortable and safe space for the pet with their bed, toys, and favorite items. Ensure access to fresh water and food, following dietary guidelines provided by the owner. Provide ample exercise and mental stimulation tailored to the pet's age, breed, and energy level. Client’s Home Pet Care: Safety Measures: Conduct an initial assessment of the home environment for potential hazards. Follow security protocols to ensure the home is safely locked and secure during visits. Administer medications and handle health concerns with utmost care. Trust Building: Schedule a meet-and-greet to get acquainted with the pet and discuss care routines
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Growing up I had three dogs, one being a labrador, a golden retriever and a plot hound for 16 years. My three dogs I had since they were puppies till they were seniors one was 21 years old. One was 11 and one was 16 when they passed. Now I have two pit terriers that I have had for three years now. I grew up, always taking care of them. And taking care of my friends and neighbors dogs all throughout the years if they went out of town on a vacation or if they were just gone for the weekend I would visit and take care of them for the time being. I have taken care of a bunch of cats as well, because my friends and family have many. I have a lot of experience with taking dogs on walks especially big dogs. My three dogs were almost all 70 to 80 pounds and I would take all three of them on walks at the same time. I really enjoy being around animals and being able to take care of them. As of right now I am not working so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate almost every day of the week. Time or day that you need depending on your schedule, just let me know and we can definitely work something out. Right now I do live at an apartment which does not allow animals. So the space is not animal friendly at the moment. But I am working on finding a more friendly space.
“I met Melissa in January when my girl had CCL surgery. She is super sweet, thoughtful and great with my high maintenance pups. She is careful to seek all the information and ask questions so she can understand your pets needs. Super fabulous”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 63 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Batesville. 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 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 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.
