About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment. For cats, I ensure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention at their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having a quiet and reliable caretaker, I respect their personality and routine. I am also comfortable following special instructions, administering medications when needed, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life including seniors with medical needs. I currently have an 18-year-old cat who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable with administering meds and handling special routines. While I have not walked or sat much for others professionally yet, I bring decades of hands-on experience with my own pets—treating each one like family. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and attention to detail. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, lots of attention, and flexibility with scheduling. I understand how important it is to keep dogs feeling safe, loved, and well cared for while their people are away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, timely care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, regular check-ins, or extended company, I can usually accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to discuss a schedule that works best for you and your pet’s routine! I care for pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines, keep fresh water available, and provide enrichment through play, affection, and companionship. My goal is always to help pets feel secure and loved while you're away.

“This was our 3rd time having Jem watch the kitties and as always had a great experience. Iris and athena are so weird with new people but Jem has taken the time and effort to make sure they can be comfortable. Even at times they might get a bit upset she handles it so well and understands what their body language is saying.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 10 years, both my own and those of friends and family. My dog, Ace, has been with me since he was just 3 months old and he’s now almost 7 and still my best buddy. Over the years, I’ve also helped several friends with their pets, from single-dog homes to families with up to five dogs. That experience taught me how to manage multiple personalities, energy levels, and routines at once. I treat every dog I meet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give to my own because every pup deserves to feel safe, happy, and at home. I currently run my business full-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule most days. This allows me to provide dependable care and attention for your pets throughout the week. Whether it’s daytime visits, evening drop-ins, or weekend care, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel secure while their owners are away. I follow all client instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to walking routes, and I always keep the environment tidy and hazard-free. Building trust is essential to me, so I communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel at ease every step of the way.

“10/10 EXPERIENCE! 🐾💕 Alake was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish! I genuinely could not have asked for a better sitter for my two girls! She went above and beyond, especially when it came to providing emotional support, patience, and reassurance for my pitty, who has been struggling with some anxiety. And somehow, she even managed to tame my wild child, Piggy, which is an accomplishment all on its own! 😂 What I appreciated most was the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. Being away from my girls can be stressful, but Alake made sure I felt comfortable, reassured, and confident that they were in loving hands. Her communication, compassion, and genuine care were everything I could have hoped for. She didn’t just take care of my dogs; she took care of my peace of mind, too. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her a thousand times over! I will absolutely be booking with her again! 💕🐶”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals, specifically family pets, since I was a young girl! I currently have a kitten of my own named Astra. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. My patience runs deep with shy or nervous pets. However, I do thoroughly enjoy playing with both cats and dogs! If they need to cuddle, go on walks, or just need a little attention, count me in! My experience as a teacher makes me responsible, dependable, and very attentive to routines and instructions. With me, I hope you can feel confident that your pet will be genuinely cared for while you’re away! I work as a teacher during the week, so I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I can also accommodate some weekday evenings depending on the location and my work schedule. On weekends, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet has a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been petsitting since I was 16 multiple pets and individual pets. Volunteering at a local cat rescue for the last 10 years has been one of my most rewarding experiences. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small birds. Dogs and cats of all ages are my favorites from baby to senior. I have experience with administering oral and topical medication, insulin, and sub q fluids for both dogs and cats. I am highly observant and able to monitor for out of the ordinary behavior. I am currently pet sitting full time and my days are open for walks and drop ins at any time you need them the only time I am unavailable is Sunday mornings. I treat your fur babies with the same love and dedication I show my own. When I am in someone else’s home I am always careful to be clean and respectful. I’m happy to uphold regular house rules or indulgences.

Jasmine was phenomenal! She provided wonderfully thorough updates about my cat, letting me know her behavior and sending me a lot of pictures (some of my cat being silly and some nice ones too). I feel very lucky to have hired Jasmine for her excellent service because I booked last second and needed to extend the length of cat sitting. Thank you so much, Jasmine!

Kira has always been such a blessing to have anytime my cats are on their own. I cannot thank her enough for her being able to take care of the cats and additional day while I was stuck dealing with the airlines during this recent cold front event. Thank you again for everything and I cannot recommend her enough.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bowers Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bowers Hill is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 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 1,170 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bowers Hill. 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 Bowers Hill. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
