About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I've always been very sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of animals, and prioritize their well being above all. I've cared for pets from newborn to senior pets with specialized needs. I look forward to meeting your dog, taking he or she on walks, and providing great care. For boarding, I do have a 2-night minimum. My apologies, but I can't take aggressive breeds or aggressive-natured dogs. I have a small 20-pound Corgi/Basenji mix (in the picture), and I want to make sure the dogs I board can get along well with other dogs. I am a part-time community college English Instructor by night, so I am available in the middle of the day and early afternoon to care for your pet when you might be stuck at work. I have a big secured back yard for a dog to be in along with my own small corgi/basenji mix. I also have a smaller side yard for the dogs to be secured separately outside if need be. My own dog is an indoor/outdoor dog so your dog would be able to be in and out and hang out with my dog (if compatible). I like to give the dogs periodic walks to keep them happy.

About: I have taken care of many pets throughout my life. Growing up I ran a dog walking and pet sitting service. I raised money with Paws for a Cause and was always helping or working with animals. I had two large dogs growing up, a German Shepard and a fat Golden Lab. I have had my fair share of experience with medications and prescriptions for both dogs and cats. I am currently now a mother to 2 cats, Sushi and Rice, although I have taken care of many more in my lifetime. I created a stray cat coop for more then 12+ cats to have shelter and food in my neighborhood. My experience with pet sitting ranges from puppies to taking care of 2 seperate cat gangs, that had to stay seperated by a door! 😆 I have experience with fostering and have recently adopted one of the dogs we fostered! I have always enjoyed taking care of animals and would love to help your family out like Rover has for me many times before. Hello! I am currently a student in Dental Hygiene school. I am looking to help out families and their pets nearby. My family has used Rover plenty of times and it has always been such a nice relief knowing that even on long work days, our pets are getting the care they need. I am in school late morning to early afternoon Monday-Friday. I am very careful with others pets. I would break into a million pieces of something ever happened to my babies and I would treat your baby the same. You can trust me to always be safe when opening and closing the front door. All animals will be secured leashed before the door opens again. I will respect your home and do all I was asked to do. Most importantly, I will ensure your pet is safe, happy, and gets the care they need!

About: Hey there! I’m Brittany, I offer pet sitting, boarding, walks, drop-ins and housesitting. Pet CPR and first aid certified, insured and bonded. From kittens and puppies to seniors and pets with complex medical needs, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care so you can be away with complete peace of mind. I’m not your average pet sitter, juggling a dozen cats and dogs. I only care for pets from no more than two families at once, but usually just one, so your pet gets my full attention and becomes part of our extended family. Think concierge-style care, calm, personal, and tailored to your pet. I’m a proud dog mommy to my 10 year old Chihuahua, Wolfgang, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Medical and special-needs experience: Cats: kitten care, diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), kidney disease and kidney failure, thyroid disease, and anxiety Dogs: puppies, seniors, seizures and epilepsy, IVDD, IMHA, arthritis, separation anxiety, and allergies My vocational nursing training and pet CPR and first aid certification, shape how I care for pets. I follow feeding schedules and medication instructions precisely, and I know what to watch for: changes in appetite, energy, or behavior that can signal a problem. If anything seems off, I contact you right away. I’m reliable and punctual, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet with the kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’d love to meet yours! I care for pets from no more than two families at any given time, and usually just one. That’s intentional. It lets me plan each day around your pet’s routine instead of fitting them in between other bookings. I’m available every day of the week for boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. Meals, medications, walks, and rest happen at the times your pet is used to, so their days feel familiar even while you’re away. Your dog stays in my house with a fenced yard, in a calm residential area with walking trails nearby. It’s a small, quiet home, best for small and medium dogs with a calm to moderate energy level. I unfortunately do not accept aggressive or reactive dogs, which keeps every guest and my senior Chihuahua safe and relaxed. I keep doors and gates secure, always use a leash outdoors, and follow your routine, whether that means crating or joining us on the couch.

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own. I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs starting at the age of 12. I bathed, fed, loved on, and walked them. Can’t wait to gain your trust in taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and this is a way for me to get back into the job force. I’ll be available anytime. I love animals and can’t wait to gain your trust. I’m offering to stay at the client’s house that way there dog(s) can be in a familiar environment and not have to worry about adapting to a change in scenery. I believe that will decrease any risk of stress added to your pets.

About: I have owned dogs the majority of my life from big to small. I have had 2 cats in my life for the past 9 years as well. I am very knowledgeable in training and taking care of animals as its a big passion of mine to connect with animals, a long term goal is to become a Marine Biologist! I enjoy spending time with animals and learning more about them. I work part time at Chuze Fitness for about 3-4 days a week. I go to the gym about 3-4 times a week for 2 hours for each session. I enjoy exploring foods a lot and going to the movies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I feed my dogs and cats twice a day. I usually take my dogs out on an hour walk a day when it’s not too hot for them. I try and take my dogs to the dog park 2-3 times a month for some friendly exposure. My cats are indoor cats so they just play around with their cat tree and sleep as they don’t enjoy being outside.

Audra took such wonderful care of our two senior cats while we were away! She arrived at the agreed times, sent photos and thoughtful updates after each visit, and was always responsive to our messages. She handled their medication routine with care, cleaned up their many messes, and left everything looking great when we returned. Audra was so incredibly sweet with our boys! She spent extra time giving them love and attention and even offered to help with other things she noticed. It was clear how comfortable they became with her when our shyer boy even started requesting belly rubs! We’re so glad we found Audra and will be booking her again soon.

She provided a written note with fun pictures for every visit. We looked forward to the updates, which helped alleviate stress of our travel. She handled a couple requests that came up and was very responsive throughout. We arrived back to happy, well cared for pets and a tidy home! We highly recommend Heather, and absolutely will re-book in the future.

Jaime was such a heaven sent! She was so accommodating to my requests (even a last minute request to drop in a day extra) and sent our family so many photos of our animals! She responded super quickly to my texts and gave me such peace of mind. Prior to booking she came and did an initial visit to meet our animals so they would be comfortable with her presence. Our animals, with all their quirks, took to her so quickly and looked full of joy when she was visiting. She even helped with obedience training for our dog so her schedule wasn’t interrupted! Our family will definitely be rebooking Jaime on our next trip so we know our animals are safe, provided for, and loved while we are away. Thank you so so much Ms. Jaime!!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Boal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Boal is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $38 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 November 2026, there are 1,107 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boal. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boal. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
