“Candice is excellent; she takes great care of our 17-yr old cat with all his food and water needs and sends detailed updates with great pictures of each visit plus everything is always clean when we return. Always glad and less worry when we have had her several times and are never disappointed.”
“Catherine was great. She took such good care of our inside cat Abby and our outside cats as well. She was super responsive. It was good knowing she was caring for our animals while we were away - gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Catherine.”
“Rene did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Max! She was always on time, fed him and gave him his medication, and lots of attention. Everything was neat and tidy when we returned as well. We will definitely be booking with Rene again in the future!”
“Kenneth was great! You can tell he loves animals. He took care of our three year old cat, Winston. Winston is a bit shy but came out for pets with Kenneth each visit. It was so good to see!”
“Lynette has sat for us two times and has done an excellent job of taking care of our boys while we were away. Our dogs love her. We feel comfortable having her in our home to care for our dogs.”
“Susan has been absolutely fantastic as a dog walker! She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her, which gave me great peace of mind. She always provides updates after walks and goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is happy and well cared for.”
About: I grew up with dogs, hamsters and fish so have experience since childhood taking care of pets. More recently I have my own cat and have helped friend/ family take care of their cats, dogs and guinea pigs while away. My full time job is a teacher. I am available after 4pm on weekdays. I am very flexible and open on weekends to help care for your pets. If asked to care for a pet I will follow all requests and treat your pet and home with respect and care. I want to earn you and the pets trust so we can hopefully work together in the future.
“Samantha! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs Harry Stanley and De Niro received! Our dog care taker went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and well taken care of while we were away for our wedding. Samantha was incredibly punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive to our boys’ needs. Knowing they were in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind on our special day and throughout our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — she truly made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog care taker!”
“Sandra was awesome. She sent me updates and pictures after every visit. She treated Cleo as she was her own pet. She was a wonderful caretaker. Definitely will have her take care of Cleo again. Thank you, Sandra!”
About: I’ve cared for my own fur babies for the past 15 years—from playful puppy days to their sweet golden years—and I’ve loved every stage. Now that I’m recently retired, I spend lots of time with my two pups, Piney and Blossom, but I still have plenty of love, energy, and attention to share. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying active, and I’d be thrilled to share that with your four‑legged family member. I have hands-on experience with puppy training as well as providing extra support and gentle care for senior dogs. All of our dogs joined our family as puppies, and several required daily medication. Our oldest, Pogo, had heart issues as a pup, and I cared for her throughout her life—managing her medication and making sure she had every comfort she needed as she aged. I truly believe animals give unconditional love and are the best mood boosters at the end of a long day. I’d be honored to share that same love and care with your furry family member. I’m retired, up early every day, and stay active by walking and playing with my two dogs. I’m looking to share that same energy, attention, and love with additional pups who would enjoy extra companionship and outdoor time. My yard is fully fenced, and I always clean up right away after potty breaks to keep the space safe and tidy. At home, I keep fresh water available on both floors so my pups can stay hydrated wherever they choose to relax. For senior dogs or those who need a little extra help, I have a ramp and dog steps so they can comfortably get onto the couch or bed and feel right at home. I will provide the same services and dedication to your home and dog(s)
“Jasmin was an absolute dream. Pippin is usually shy, but he was social and cuddling with her from day 1! The updates were perfect and detailed- we felt so comfortable from the beginning. Thank you so much Jasmin!! We will certainly be booking again :)”
“Gillian helped a lot checking in on our cats while we were away. We do recommend her as a visiting pet sitter, and will for sure consider her help again next time we’re off for vacation.”
“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”
“Jessica did a great job with our three cats! She sent us lots of photos, played with our two kittens, and we came home to a clean house and happy kitties. Definitely recommend!”
“Alyssa is truly the Best! Mia, my English Bulldog, has the attitude of a teenage girl, and isnt a morning pupper, Im positive some days she just doesnt want to move from her fluffy bed! Alyssa is amazing with her!”

Rene was amazing with our sometimes cranky gal! She sent us regular updates and pictures, kept everything clean and tidy, and even went back to check on her one day when she didn’t appear to say hi like normal. We would definitely recommend her to others for watching their cats!
Jasmin has been the best sitter we’ve had for our drop-in visits. She is incredibly accommodating, even with last-minute reservations, and always makes the process stress-free. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pets are in good hands. We truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the care she gives every visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable!
We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!
Kenneth extended his visits to my sisters shy old cat Myshkin during a very difficult time when she was still in the hospital and having her house renovated at the same time. During all the chaos Kenneth also replaced and paid for cat food and medicine that had been discarded by the workers in error. Kenneth is an extraordinary pet sitter.
Cassandra was very kind and gracious during our meet and greet. She is very knowledgeable about cats and their peculiar behaviors. She kept me updated with Matilda's daily eating habits and water intake. I was well at ease having Cassandra care for my sweet baby. I will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 7,515 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boyds. 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 with handling special pet needs in Boyds. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
