“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”
“Jessica was an amazing kitty sitter. Our cat couldn’t wait for her to arrive as she greeted him each time with petting and attention! Jessica sent us pics of how Mini D was doing and kept us in the loop of his shananigans! Definitely will use her again:-)”
“Dee was a fantastic sitter for my two kitties!! Very happy to have booked her for them, she was attentive, great at communicating, and sent lots of updates and photos!! 10/10 recommend!!!!”
“Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.”
About: I have lived with and been around dogs my entire life. While I don't have as much experience with cats, I love them just the same! My biggest priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy under my care. I currently work full time on weekdays and am free after 4:30pm, and free most weekends. I'm happy to assist with your pets any way I can! I live in a fairly small apartment (about 540 sqft) but I ensure pets under my care are completely comfortable. By default, I let pets roam the apartment freely but I have no problem accommodating crating as well.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carrollwood
This was our second time booking Tina and she did another outstanding job checking in on our cat Hazel. She was more than accommodating with our cat’s medication schedule and takes some of the best action photos I’ve ever seen of any cat. Communication and responsiveness were also top notch, would 100% recommend!!
Morgan was amazing and I already plan on booking her again! She did hourly check-ins on my cat while I was traveling, and my cat is somewhat of a sassy girl, and takes a while to warm up to people. Seeing their relationship progress through the photos was so cute, and after a couple days she was snuggling Morgan and in her lap - which does NOT happen easily! I came back to a kitty who I knew was well taken care of, and my place was in perfect condition, with a nice note from Morgan. 100% recommend her!
Anessa is by far the most amazing sitter I’ve ever had. My cat Nunu warmed up to Anessa instantly by her calm demeanor. Anessa was incredibly patient and respectful of his boundaries. Instead of forcing interaction, she simply stood still and let him come to her on his own terms.She took such great care of him, followed all of my instructions carefully, made sure he was fed, and spent time playing with him. I also really appreciated all of the pictures and updates she sent throughout the visits. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and being well cared for. You can truly tell that Anessa understands animals and genuinely cares about them. She went above and beyond to make sure my shy little guy felt safe and loved. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter!
Alyssa is great. My pets take to her very well. She really engages and interacts with my fur babies and ensures she’s mindful to accommodate any requested needs for either of my cats. She’s punctual reliable and communicates well. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with her!
Jordan was amazing as always! She took great care of our new puppy and our cat who she has cared for before. She is great at communicating and takes amazing pictures to let us know everything is going well. I can’t recommend her enough, we can tell our pets love her too!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carrollwood is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
