Grace was amazing, She genuinely loves animals and it felt stress free leaving our fur babies with her. She knew how to take care of them and I know they loved her too! She was constantly in touch with us giving updates and taking pictures. I appreciated it so much and will 100% book again with her

Thank you. Yes, I will rebook you again if I ever need you, thank you again for taking care of queen so well.

Jenni was WONDERFUL! On her second visit she asked if she could bring her dog for a playdate with her boyfriend and she sent photos and videos of happy, tail wagging pups playing ball together! I'm going to hire Jenni to come more regularly, hopefully with her pup! I will definitely use her for boarding because now my guy will be right at home with them all!

As a pet owner, you simply want someone you can trust to give your pet the best care and create safety while you're away and we found that in Claudia! We needed a sitter to drop in on our cat Nala while we were away and Claudia was amazing from start to finish. She was on time and kept us informed throughout her time with Nala. Nala was so comfortable and happy with Claudia and we appreciated having someone we can trust! I highly recommend Claudia for any of your pet needs, we will definitely re-book her in the future. Thanks for everything!

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My shifts are short consistent, allowing me to have a concrete schedule to work around to best meet the needs of all dogs and cats. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.

Betty has been fantastic. She loves dogs, and we are always confident Sasha is in good hands. She is flexible and accommodating of our schedule even with last minute changes and communicates proactively. She always sends pictures and gives a nice summary of what she did with Sasha and how she was doing. We would definitely recommend Betty for anyone looking for drop-ins or walks for their dog!

Erikah is an amazing sitter this is our second time that she has watched our pet for about a week both times. She treats our dog like her own, she responds quick and was even able to alter some of the times when we needed. We leave knowing she puts her best foot forward in caring for our pet with her fabulous communication, being prompltly on time, and her love for animals.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, big and small! I’ve bathed, feed, played with, and let dogs outside! Cuddles are a must! I attend Western Kentucky University but am home for the summer. I currently work part time at Brusters Ice Cream! My schedule changes weekly however I don’t work everyday meaning there is plenty of time for stopping by throughout the day! I will update clients on schedule changes to fit their needs and make sure all pets are taken care of properly. Most shifts are at night so I can stop by for feedings and bathroom breaks before work and after! Care begins with attention. Following clients instructions as every dogs and cats needs are different. Proper safety, comfort, and routine is important! Whether backyards aren’t fenced in or animals are fed at a specific time clients instructions are always important to follow!

About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

Claudia was on time and so nice at our initial meet and greet 2 weeks before needing her to pet sit our 21 year old cat and 6 1/2 year old dog. She was professional and incredibly loving with our fur babies, and had no problem administering medication to our cat. She was on time every time for every drop-in visit (9 total) and she sent many pictures and details of each visit. Highly recommend Claudia!

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with lots of messages and wonderful pictures throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, while my other needs heart medication applied to the inside of her ear. She handled both with confidence and care and treated my cats like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Chris was wonderful caring for our kitty while we were away. She was prompt and friendly, and we could see the love shown to our fur baby because she provided cute pictures and detailed updates. She also went out of her way to clean up a fur ball and help take care of our mail and trash. We will definitely use Chris again and highly recommend!

Maria was very attentive and helpful while I was away I was worried about Possums eye and contemplating a vet visit. She gave eye drops and plenty of updates, and when I returned home his eye was good as new! Thanks to Maria Possum and Sloth think food time means play time which makes me happy to know they enjoyed their time with her! Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,259 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Brookside. 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 Brookside. On Rover:

  • 94% 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 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.
