“Frank was the best with our two kitties! He’s very professional, thorough, and our cats loved playing with him! Will definitely use him for future trips :)”
“Rachel is the best!! I’m always anxious to leave my cat when I’m out of town, especially as a travel nurse who doesn’t know a lot of people in the area but Rachel made me feel so comfortable at our meet-and-greet about leaving my cat, Rosie, in her care. She loves cats and totally understands their weird quirks and how they tend to hide around new people and she was able to get Rosie to come out from hiding on the first day!!! Rachel is very warm and friendly, reliable, flexible, quick to answer messages, and she always kept me updated with pictures and written updates which I so appreciated :) And on top of that, I could tell from the pictures that my cat absolutely adored her and her drop-in visits :) I would 100% recommend Rachel to anyone and everyone!! She gave exceptional care to my cat and I can’t wait to rebook her again :)”
“I cannot be thankful enough for the way Emily has taken care of our pets! She has been super great with communication sending pictures of everyone daily, and having so much fun with them, they all are being taken care of really well, and I see from the pictures how much they like her. This is definitely a 10/10 service!”

“Rachel is a wonderful pet sitter and took great care of our 10 year old cat while we were away for a week. She sent daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease that Leliana was well taken care of. We strongly recommend Rachel and will definitely ask her to look after our cat when we travel again!”
“Eva was a great kitty sitter and also took great care of our house while we were away. We appreciated her sending updates and photos throughout the week. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
About: Local to Columbia County, I am a lifelong pet lover! I have never been without pets in my life, and have taken care of pets for friends and family many times in the past. I am a cat and dog momma, and have also had chickens, turkeys, ducks, and goats in the past. I am no stranger to the hobby farm life, if you are rural and looking for someone to drop in on the critters. I am reliable and will treat your fur-babies like they are my own, whether it be for drop ins or walks! I am a mom of a toddler and teens. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Fitting pet care around my work is easy and fun! I am happy to drive to your home to check on your pets multiple times a day, and I am careful with your home and belongings. I clean up after pets, and am happy to sit and love them when they are missing you! I am definitely happy to send pictures and updates as well, I know how nice it is to see your pets when you are away, just to be sure they are happy and healthy!
About: I have grown up with dogs since before I can even remember. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions and allergies, and dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs. I used to dog sit and do dog walks for several of my neighbors. What I enjoy the most is getting to know each dog individually, learning their behaviors, and giving them the love and attention they deserve! <3 Currently, I am available on all days of the week except Saturday to help take care of your beloved pets. My earliest start time is 11am. I always adhere to the pet owner's instructions for how to best care for their pets. I respect their home and do everything I can to keep their pets safe and comfortable.
About: From middle school to college, my family cared for a sweet rescue pup named Ginger! I cuddled with her as often as I could, played music for her, and took her on walks to chase rabbits. Nowadays I live with an adorable cat aptly named Kitty (who's napping against my leg as I type this)! She's my landlady's pet; I look after Kitty every time I'm alone in the house, and Kitty always brightens up my day. :)) I want to learn more about different pet personalities and how to care for them with the respect they deserve. I keep my eye out for unique behaviors and body language quirks, and I'm always game for playtime to help keep their minds and bodies enriched. If your pet likes music, let me know and I'll bring my flute or cello over to entertain them! As a recent college grad, I've got an early morning part-time retail job and am in the midst of applying for a second daytime gig. I anticipate having some afternoons and evenings free! I treat home visits like a peaceful hike in the woods - leave no trace, and enjoy the company! I don't go poking and prodding around unless instructed to. I DO give lots of head pats and scritches if pets want them! I'm careful to refrain from over- and under-feeding pets, and I'm always open to hearing what I can do to improve in any area of pet care. If you'd like photos or videos of your pet(s) from my visits, I'll happily oblige!
“Robin did a great job taking very good care of our cat. Robin was on time, stayed the full half hour, played with our cat, gave her attention, and made sure she had all she needed each day. Definitely recommend Robin!”
About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a friendly and compassionate animal lover who wants to spread my kindness to the world. I have had a passion for animals ever since I was a little girl, from volunteering at shelters to even fostering rescues and to now adopting my own animals. I have over 10+ years of animal care experience from caring for neighbors pets, house sitting and even simple dog walks. I have a dog of my own, who always keep me on my toes and reminds me to live life more freely. My love for animals continues to grow and I am always up for the challenge of learning new ways of how to help animals in need. My quiet, calm and patient nature is well suited for working with animals of any kind. I can bring a sense of stability and trust to each family in need and I am looking forward to spreading my love and experience to all of those who are delighted to be apart of a team together! I currently am only working part time at the moment so I have extra hours within my week to provide drop in visits or walks when necessary. I always go above and beyond for each animal I care for, reassurance is key when it comes to any kind of relationship especially when it comes to new ones so I will always do my best to ensure the owner and pet are both happy.
“Alissa took such great care of my baby girl Opal! I could tell she missed me but also "approved" of her caretaker in my absence, which says a lot! I particularly appreciated Alissa's thorough notes on how each visit went. Happy to know she would look in on my baby again!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life. From feeding, grooming, play, and more, I’ve taken time to figure out the best approaches to ensure our little living room tigers are cared for. Im currently a graduate student so my schedule is pretty flexible for play dates, feedings, medication delivery or grooming. Mornings and evenings are the best times for me to visit your furry friends. I have a catio on my terrace for outside enrichment, plenty of toys and a mini garden full of lavender and catnip. I also have two well-behaved cats of my own.
About: I have experience in dog walking for dogs of all sorts of ages and sizes! If your dog would love a trail walk, we’re going there! If your dog prefers a sidewalk, we’re staying there! Let’s book a meet and greet! I’m currently working full time in pet care, so im fully available for all of our pets! I typically do about 3-5 dog walks a day at varying times, and if I’m pet sitting then I’m hanging out with them in between or they come along! In my clients home I try to keep a pets schedule and routine as close as I can to their daily life to reduce as much stress as possible.
About: I just recently moved to Oregon from Las Vegas. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from high energy puppies to mellow seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with pets whether we’re out on walks or hanging out at home. I’m big on clear communication, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m new to Oregon and have full availability right now, including weekdays, weekends, and evenings. Happy to be flexible based on your dog or cat’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving meds, or creating a calm space, I do my best to keep things stress free. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and honest check-ins.
About: Hi! I have a diverse background in animal care that will ensure I’m equipped to care for your loved one! I have been volunteering with animals since I was 15 walking and pet sitting but I also volunteered heavily with multiple shelters. I’ve worked at board and cares, rescue shelters, and spent many weekends in high school working adoption events. At these facilities I worked with both dogs and cats, doing enrichment activities, walks, feeding, and was trained in reactive dog handling. In college I began fostering cats ranging from 3 week old kittens that required hand feeding and potty breaks to 8 year old ferals that have never lived inside before! I’m still actively fostering cats. I also volunteer at a cat spay and neuter clinic and a pitbull exclusive rescue running adoption events. And of course I have two little Shih Tzus of my own, 14 and 16 years old so I’m well versed in senior animal care! I’m a full time nursing student here in Portland! I have school in the late mornings-early afternoons Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday leaving my mornings, afternoons, and evenings open to care for your loved ones! I’m fully available Friday-Sunday for drop ins or weekend house sittings! In your home, my top priority is your pets safety. Knowing their routine, their normal habits, and any concerns you may have is important to me so I can ensure their safety while still having fun. I value any information you can provide me on how to care for your loved ones and I’ll be sure to adhere to it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,469 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Burlington. 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.

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.
