“Kasandra gave great care to my 2 cats during her visit each day. She took great pics of both cats to share with me daily and amazed me that my tuxedo cat came out to her each day since she usually hides from new visitors. I am pleased overall and would choose her again for cat care.”

“Sydney did a wonderful job—it was quite the tall order for her first time taking care of my three cats, one of which requires meds twice daily, for ten days! She was very communicative during my trip, sending updates and photos twice a day. It gave me a great piece of mind knowing they were in such patient and caring hands. Definitely recommend Sydney to others for cat care. I’m so happy to have found her 🙂”

About: Raised with cats and dogs my whole life. I've raised kittens and puppies. I've taken care of senior cats and dogs. I love all kinds! I work full time until 4:30 pm. I am available Sunday to Thursday from 4:30pm to 8pm. With communication I can possibly be more flexible. At this time I do not have a home for pets. I'm looking into other options to expand my business offering for customers. Stay tuned!

About: Hi! I’m Christine, and I’m so happy you’re here! 😊 Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and being a pet sitter is truly something I love. I understand that pets aren’t “just pets” — they’re family — and I treat every dog or cat I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or quiet and cuddly, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I love giving lots of affection, going on walks, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and become your trusted go-to sitter! 🐾💕 Dependable and loving sitter experience. I currrently work from home and happy to care for pet in your home or mine. Daily photo/video updates. Cleaning food bowls and basic pet mess clean up. Plenty of attention, affection, and supervision I have a fenced in yard and two golden doodles who love to play. Skilled in maintaining a clean, safe environment. Reliable and attentive caregiver.

About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on here seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)

About: I really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection

“Elena was fantastic with our kitties. She did all that was asked of her and when we returned home after a week away, our cats were very indifferent to our arrival home which shows us they were well taken care of and given lots of love in our absence. We will definitely be using Elena again to watch our fur babies when needed!”

About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships with neighbors and friends who have trusted me to pet sit for their beloved pets. Whether it’s providing daily walks, administering medication, or just offering some love and attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in reliable hands. I am currently a full time student and working a part time job but your pets will always come first! Their safety and comfort will be my top priority while with them. Since I have class I will typically be unavailable in the late mornings, but early mornings and afternoon/evenings I will be completely available. I take the safety and well-being of your pets seriously, and I ensure that they are always in a secure environment while in the comfort of their own home. I stick to their routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication, to minimize stress and maintain a sense of normalcy. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. From securely closing doors and windows to keeping dangerous items out of reach, I’m committed to preventing any accidents or escapes. You can trust me to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Rachel was really great to work with, She was very thoughtful and even though my cats tend to be a little skittish she was able to interact with them very well. She took care of everything exactly as I asked and was always 100% on time for her visits. I really appreciate her time and attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her to others as well as ask for her services again for our next trip.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Bowmansdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 255 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bowmansdale. 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 Bowmansdale. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
