“Elena was wonderful. She was able to do several drop-in visits during Christmas break, on short notice. She was responsive, thorough, and gave my cats lots of love. Highly recommend!”
“Jerry was amazing with my feline beasts. She has excellent communication, provided me with videos and pics with each visit along with a brief summary of the visit. I am so happy to have found someone who cares for my felines as if they were her own. My cats required medicine and are not the cuddly pair. But Jerri was able to build a connection. I'm so appreciative of how well she took care of my animals and hm.”
“Stephanie is very conscientious has taken good care of my lab for dat time drop ins and check ins with my cat while I was traveling. I know my pets are in good hands with Stephanie!”
About: As a proud parent of a 6-year-old Ragdoll, cats are a central part of my life. I routinely pet-sit for friends during their travels, which has given me extensive experience managing multi-cat households. I understand feline body language, respect their boundaries, and know how to handle everything from energetic play to managing separate feeding schedules and keeping litter boxes pristine. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy kitty who needs time to warm up, they are in safe hands. For the pups, I am all about staying active! I am the go-to hiking and jogging buddy for my friend’s Golden Retriever, so I am well-versed in handling various breeds. My flexible work-from-home schedule blends seamlessly with pet care, allowing me to easily step away for reliable morning cat drop-ins or mid-day dog walks while giving your pets the consistent attention they need. As an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, tennis, and Pilates, I have the natural stamina and energy to match active breeds like Golden Retrievers, Doodles, or Corgis on the trails, yet I deeply cherish the quiet, grounding moments—whether that's practicing a workout with a kitty on the mat or providing patient companionship for a shy cat. Because I love to travel myself, I understand exactly how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I am dedicated to providing the ultimate peace of mind with prompt communication and plenty of happy photo updates. When caring for your cats in the comfort of your own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routines to minimize any stress while you are away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring that everything from meticulous litter box scooping to pristine feeding areas is kept exactly as you like it. I know that cats are creatures of habit who feel safest in their own territory, so I tailor my visits entirely to their unique comfort levels—whether that means engaging an energetic breed with interactive toys, giving gentle chin scratches, or simply offering a quiet, reassuring presence nearby for more independent kitties. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your home is secure and your cats are receiving dedicated, loving care, complete with detailed updates and plenty of photos after every single visit.
“Mina was great with Cloud and Sunshine. She helped on short notice, came by for a meet and greet, and sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay. She's very detail-oriented and checked with me before changing a feeding time. Even Sunshine, who's shy with new people, warmed up to her. I'd happily book her again.”
“Jeselle is an awesome cat sitter! I can tell my 2 cats thoroughly enjoyed their stay with her, as they were not in a hurry to come home when I went to pick them up. Her place has a calming vibe and her cat is also super sweet and chill. Jeselle sent video updates of them which I appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely go to her again for my cats.”
“Xueying took excellent care of our cat, Leia, and we had a wonderful experience with her. She was dependable, attentive, and kept us well informed throughout each visit. She made an extra effort to keep Leia comfortable and engaged, even bringing along toys for them to play with. Leia warmed up to her very quickly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would be happy to have Xueying care for Leia regularly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking
“Alison was amazing with my cat Gabriel. She kept me informed and provided photos while I was away on a 3 week trip. I look forward to having her keep my pet while I'm away.....”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
“Tiana took such great care of my 2 kittens! I would definitely rebook. She is very communicative, responsive, and sent me many pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay with her. I felt confident and comfortable knowing that my kitties were in a safe and happy place! Thank you Tiana!”
About: I’ve always had my own pets including dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs and fish. I’m experienced with house sitting and dog walking for dogs through out my teen and college years. I took a break post college while working at a shelter for women and children and then attorney represented bodily injury claims. I recently resigned my corporate insurance job and have been pursuing my stained glass small business and my passion for animals. I've been volunteering at the shelter as dog walker and started riding horses again. I'm available currently every day of the week and weekends. I live very close to the Fremont Hub. I can feed, walk, brush, love, and provide any special cares for your fur babies! I don’t mind just hanging out with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. I'm currently self-employed as an artist and am available any day of the week and weekends and can be available as well on shore notice! I have a fenced in patio and catio for our 4 cats. They are primarily indoors and go outside supervised. In your own home, I will ensure your pet remains safe and indoors. If you have an indoor pet only, they will remain inside at all times. I will treat your pet as if they're my own pet with love and above and beyond care to ensure they feel safe and trust me.
“Sara and Raymond were great cat sitters. Very attentive, professional, responsive and detail-oriented. I felt my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book them again and highly recommend!”
About: I love dogs but don't have my own, so let me borrow yours! I've dog sat and dog walked all throughout my life. Grew up with active dogs and know how much love and attention they need. I also have experience house and dog sitting and am able to keep the dogs occupied so they keep from getting stressed. I am comfortable taking them for walks and to play with other dogs and can definitely keep them safe and in line!

Mina was great with Cloud and Sunshine. She helped on short notice, came by for a meet and greet, and sent photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay. She's very detail-oriented and checked with me before changing a feeding time. Even Sunshine, who's shy with new people, warmed up to her. I'd happily book her again.
Han is super detailed oriented and took great care of Penfield and Dooby while we were away. She came before we left and took notes on the food, water and litter boxes preference for the two cats. While we were away, she came to take care of the cats, fill them with food and clean the little boxes with no dust outside. She also took a lot of photos and videos for our cats and reported any potential issues. I highly recommend Han as an amazing cat sitter!
Yilian (Grace) was absolutely wonderful during her drop-in visits! She was incredibly accommodating with my last-minute request and happily agreed to check in on my babies. She was kind, attentive, and thorough in following all of my instructions, and she provided excellent updates and documentation throughout her visits. I especially appreciated the photos and videos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how my babies were doing while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again in the future!
Dani is amazing! She took great care of our cats and made sure they had clean water and food whenever she came. Even though one of our kitties was scared, she gave such great love to the one kitty that came out. Thank you so much Dani for taking good care of our boys!
Brianna was very patient and caring with Amber. She kept us updated and sent us pictures every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Amber maintained a healthy weight after our trip, which tells us that she was comfortable and not too stressed while we were gone. We truly appreciate Brianna’s dedication and the wonderful care she gave Amber. Thank you so much!
Jennifer was amazing! She did just a few visits for a short business trip but I felt so confident and able to be fully present for work. Great communication and mature decision-making, and seemed to really enjoy taking care of my boys. I'm booking her for an upcoming vacation already. :)
Mary was an excellent sitter! She came ahead of time for the meet and greet, took care of the cats as expected on every day consistently. It was a relief to know the cats were taken care of, to be able to have her be booked on short notice and I really appreciated her flexibility as well. Would highly recommend!
We were so delighted by the support we got for our two bonded cats! We arrived home to happy cats + a space that was taken better care of than we do ourselves :). We had a longer booking and received lovely reports / photos that were a highlight everyday. I will absolutely book again and recommend to family and friends. Thanks again!
Minjee was wonderful and provided excellent care to my two cats 😸😸 I really appreciated the detailed reports about daily activity and bowel movements, I was able to relax knowing Minjee was keeping a close eye on my beloved cats! Thank you very much Minjee 😸😻😸😻

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carpenter is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit.

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 .

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.
