“Emily was AMAZING!!! This was our first vacation in a long time where I never once worried about how the cats were while we were gone because I knew they were in great hands. Emily was super thorough in both the actual caring for the cats, but also took the time to write through summaries of how the cats were and what was done during the visit along with so many great quality photos that brought smiles to our faces while we were away. Not only were the basics like food, water, and litter taken care of, but she also used any extra time to play and give them plenty of love. We know who we will be using any time we go out of town!”

“Jessica did an extraordinary job of taking care of my cat! She spent a lot of extra time sitting with him and playing with him while I was away. She also leaves incredibly informative Rover cards and pays attention to every detailed instruction. I will absolutely ask Jessica to care for my cat the next time I am out of town!”

“Meaghan was amazing - I made a scheduling mistake with my initial booking and Meaghan was responsive and incredibly helpful when she discovered it. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home. I was a first-time Rover user with this booking and I'll be looking for Meaghan every time now.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around animals and truly believe they are family, not just pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and at different stages of life, including my senior dog Jacob (11). Having an older dog has taught me to be patient, notice the little things, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for as they get older. I’ve also worked with my dog Atlas, who has had some behavioral challenges. Helping him over the years has taught me that every animal is different and that trust, consistency, and patience go a long way. I enjoy taking the time to understand each pet and what helps them feel safe and happy. Since I have a multi-pet household with dogs, cats, and birds, I’m comfortable with different routines and different types of care. I know every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I truly care about the animals I look after. I don’t just show up to feed them—I want to build a connection with them, make them feel comfortable, and give them the same care and love I would want someone to give my own pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Every day, I feed my three dogs, two cats, and two parakeets, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend time playing with and caring for them. My dogs get regular walks and outdoor time, and I love taking them on hikes whenever I can. My cats get plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment, and I make sure their litter boxes stay clean. I also care for my parakeets by cleaning their cage, refreshing their food and water, and giving them time to interact and explore. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, adding your pet to my routine feels. I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. I care for every pet like they are my own because I truly believe pets are family. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy. At home, I care for my three dogs, Jacob (11), Luna (7), and Atlas (8), my two cats, Stinky (5) and Kiwi (6), and my two parakeets, Suki and Dewy. My dogs get lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures like walks and hikes. Luna has had some behavioral challenges, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal learns and grows at their own pace. Seeing how much she has improved over the years has shown me how important love and patience are when caring for pets. My cats, Stinky and Kiwi, have completely different personalities, and that’s one of the things I love most about cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them entertained, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they have a comfortable and happy environment. I also have experience caring for my parakeets, Suki and Dewy. I’m comfortable with feeding them, cleaning their cage, changing their water, and making sure they get attention and enrichment. While I haven’t owned larger birds, I’m always willing to learn and make sure I understand each pet’s needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll respect their routine and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets because I know how much they mean to your family.

About: My experience begins with caring for my own pets and my family's pets. I owned 2 female Lionhead rabbits as a child who I still reminisce about to this day. During this time I also afforded the opportunity to care for a close friend's male Holland Lop rabbit! In addition to this, my parents had their own chickens that I adored; I cleaned their coop, fed them daily, and would pet them for hours. My experience with dogs is quite extensive: I've washed, walked, and administered medication for elderly dogs as well as young ones, cared for ones with anxiety, played with energetic farm dogs for hours, walked strong ones who pull at the sight of any person & animal, and walked ones who can't get close to other people & animals. My experience with cats include feral, semi feral, and house cats. I've repeatedly given overnight care for 7 semi-feral cats who's daily feeding schedule was strict & specific, one of whom required medication. In that same house was an elderly dog who had his own, separate, regimented, feeding & walking times (and demanded lots of love that I was happy to give!) Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle as someone who enjoys spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether that means multiple daily visits, overnight stays, or extended drop-in sessions. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, understanding that pets thrive on routine and consistency! I'm happy to accommodate early morning or late evening visits, and I always provide photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and well-cared for. My availability is generally open throughout the week, and I'm comfortable committing to both short-term and longer-term bookings. I build my schedule around your pet's needs, not the other way around. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. In your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect: cleaning up after myself, securing doors and gates, following your specific instructions carefully, and maintaining your pet's established routines to minimize stress and uphold any training that has already been given to your pet(s). I'm attentive to potential hazards and ensure pets are supervised appropriately based on their temperament and needs. I follow all feeding guidelines precisely, administer medications as directed, and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health that might need attention. Due to my training as a Registered Behavioral Therapist for human, I keep detailed notes and communicate openly with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos. Whether caring for pets in your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment where animals feel comfortable and safe. For pets staying in my home (if applicable), I ensure a pet-proofed space with separate areas for different animals if needed, and I never leave pets unsupervised in potentially stressful situations. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my first concern.

About: In 3rd grade I got my first dog as a birthday present and since then I have never been able to keep myself separated from animals. I am pursuing a biology degree with a possible pre med or pre vet track at Mizzou and hope to end up working with animals in the future.I have been taking care of my own dog and she is now 13 so I have experience with senior dogs and young dogs, I also took care of my grandmas dogs so I have experience with all breeds and sizes. I have a very flexible schedule working only during the weekdays and I am free most mornings and afternoons. Additionally I consistently have access to my car for transportation. I always make sure the pet is getting exactly what they need whether it be food, water, a walk, or adequate attention for their needs.

“Absolutely above and beyond! We booked last minute as our neighborhood sitter had to travel. Rosa was so attentive and communicative and always kept us updated. She sent amazing photos and gave great report cards. I feel like we got a bargain as she did SO much more than we were expecting and even helped us out in areas we had been ignoring ourselves (like cat vomit under the bed). She is truly a star of this app and we can’t wait to work with her again!”

I am very patient and understanding, so please just communicate anything you need and I will work with you! I am currently staying in a dorm and am unfortunately unable to board pets. I am able to provide your pet with any kind of care in-home that you need, whether that is administering medicine, puppy care, training practice, basic necessities and, of course, play time! I am also available for house cleaning and general chores as requested.

I don’t mind staying overnight if desired!

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I’ve had both cats and dogs since I was a kid, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, ages, and needs. I currently have a five year old Carolina Dog who I adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks old. Raising her from a puppy has given me hands on experience with puppy care, training, patience, and all the little things that come with helping a young dog grow into a happy, well adjusted companion. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away I'm currently working a part time job at home with a very flexible schedule. I have open availability during the week as well as some weekend availability. I’ll mainly care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I’ll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and medications, while making sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of attention. I want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have looked after pets of many family members and friends for most of my life, including older pets that require medications and certain accommodations. I consider myself very patient and attentive to pets' needs. I work freelance with flexible hours, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I am able to focus solely on my client's pet(s). I am happy to bring the attention and comfort to your pets that they need. That includes walking dogs frequently, playing often, maintaining diet and clean drinking water, picking up poos, and cleaning up messes! I am also happy to accommodate on overnight stays pets who may want to sleep in the bed or require night/early morning care.

About: I've been working with horses since I was 8 years old, along with all the furry creatures around them! I love all animals and make fast friends with most. I have experience in maintaining feeding and medication routines, house sitting (including multiple pets), play sessions, long walks (on the beach or otherwise), bath time, and keeping anxious pets company. I currently have a very flexible schedule as I pursue my modeling and acting career! I'm available until 5pm on weekdays and am flexible on weekends. I have two cats at home, so I do not offer boarding or daycare services at my home. I am more than happy to take care of your sweet babies in the comfort of your own home and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention!

About: I’m a caring and reliable animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals. Most of my experience is with cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and basic daily care. I also have experience caring for smaller animals, including rabbits, goldfish and other animals found in my pictures. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, feeding, or simply someone trustworthy to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! 🐾 I work four 10-hour shifts per week as a nurse, with two of those shifts being remote, which gives me added flexibility to provide care and attention throughout the day. I also have weekends and holidays off, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality time with your pet! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual personality, routine, preferences, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and potty routines as closely as possible and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Blands

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Blands is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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 2,624 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Blands. 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 Blands. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
