“If I could give Katy 100 stars, I would. She helped us out when our pet sitter bailed out on us at the last minute and I was at the airport just before boarding our flight arranging for a back up sitter. She also helped us with an unexpected errand of being on hand for the Uber courier when we needed help with that. Katy is great about communicating, which is very important to us, and she took very good care of our cats.”

About: Hi! I’m Makenna, an experienced pet care professional with a background in both dog grooming and pet resort care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, feeding, medication, enrichment, and plenty of love and attention. My grooming experience has also given me a strong understanding of canine behavior and handling. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student, but I complete most of my coursework from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. When school starts I will be sure to mark my availability. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. With professional experience in both pet care and dog grooming, I’m confident caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have experience administering medications and following specific care instructions to ensure every pet receives the attention they need. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, as I have two of each myself. I'm responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing my dogs, as well as making sure all of my pets receive the attention and care they need. I am currently employed part-time while in school, but I still have time to care for your animals! I am also completely free on Fridays! You can be assured that your pet will be well cared for and in safe, responsible hands the entire time. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of proper care and attention, and I’m familiar with both what to do and what to avoid to keep pets happy and healthy.

About: I just love critters! I love hanging out with your furry legged friends and would love to take care of yours if at all possible. I do work full time: however, I have my own transportation and can be somewhat flexible on my office hours. I’m used to working crazy hours all day! Can do drop ins as well as overnights, but will need to go into the office during the day. I make sure they’re happy and comfortable, following instructions to a T and spending as much time as possible with them to ensure they’re happy and healthy!

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was barely tall enough to see over a food bowl, and that lifelong hands-on experience shaped me into someone who naturally understands animal behavior, routines, and training. I’ve personally trained my own dogs and have always been deeply involved in their care, from daily structure to behavior shaping and enrichment. Right now I share my home with a cat who keeps life interesting, and I’m very attentive to creating a happy, stable environment for pets. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, and caring for them feels less like a task and more like second nature. 🐾 My schedule is pretty structured around my work hours: I work 4pm–12am, and outside of that I’m home and available for the rest of the day. I keep my routine simple and steady, and I’m usually around in the mornings and early afternoons before heading into work. I’m not someone who’s constantly on the go or juggling a million commitments—my life is more grounded in work, home, and taking care of my pets. That balance gives me a lot of consistency and time to focus on what matters day to day. I take safety and trust seriously when it comes to animals and their environment. In the past, I’ve crate-trained my dogs and learned how to create calm, structured routines that help them feel secure and well-behaved. I’m comfortable setting boundaries in a gentle but consistent way, depending on the needs of each pet. My home is also very pet-safe, especially because my current cat is extremely curious and determined to investigate everything. I’ve adapted my space to keep hazards out of reach and ensure it’s a safe, enriched environment where pets can explore without getting into trouble. I pay close attention to what they can access and how they interact with their surroundings, so safety is always built into the way I live with animals. 🐾

“Marcos took great care of our kitties. His updates were informative, assuring us that everything was taken care of. He even went above and beyond to pick up medicine when we ran out due to poor planning. Additionally, one of our cats is very difficult for her medicine, but Marcos was able to handle her. We were very glad to come home to healthy, only mildly resentful kitties.”

Victoria fell in love with my cats instantly and they warmed up to her so quickly, so I know they were cared for with much love while I was away! Communication was fast, seamless, and much appreciated.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Carps Corner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,214 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carps Corner. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carps Corner. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
