About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I am in college. I have a class on monday in person for about 2 hours but besides that all my other classes are online so I am always free. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.

“Colin was phenomenal at taking care of our pup! He left detailed notes that gave us great updates and peace of mind that our dog was well cared for. Colin took our dog out for a walk, even when not necessary, to give her extra attention and stimulation. We came back to one happy dog and safe home!”

About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.

About: What sets me apart is my background in both veterinary medicine and animal behavior. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary settings with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including anxious, senior, and high-energy animals. As a Zoology student at Oregon State University, I’m especially passionate about understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel comfortable, enriched, and safe while in my care. I also have experience handling medications, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing patient, individualized care for every pet. I am also very active and am always looking for a running partner who would like some good exercise and fun! I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time at the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, but I have a lot of weekend availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, pet sitting, drop-in check-ins, and general pet care, and I’m happy to work with each family’s schedule and routine! I love staying active and creating a good balance between playtime, exercise, and cuddle time. My current house doesn’t allow animals, but I have reliable transportation and would be happy to take your pet on walks, hikes, or to explore new parks if that’s something they enjoy. I’m active enough to keep up with high-energy dogs or cats, while also being patient and calm with pets who prefer a slower pace and plenty of downtime.

About: I have compassion and am understanding for animals that is hard to put in to words. I carry empathy towards all living things. I have had several dogs of my own and know how much it means to have someone you can rely on to care for them when you’re away. I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.

About: Very similarly to my history with cats, I've never known a life without at least one pup in my life! Although I don't have my own dog at the moment because I have no space for pups to play, and I know they need to be able to get energy out, and an apartment isn't the best place for that, my Mom still has two dogs that I care for often. As she did with cats, my Mom bred Lhasa Apsos on several occasions, and of course, those doggies were nothing less than completely pampered(as they should be)! I've helped with everything from bathing dogs of all sizes, to walking dogs, to actually helping with delivering puppies! I've had so many breeds of dogs, each with their own personality! I've had Lhasa Apsos, Australian Shepards, Mastiffs, a Saint Bernard, Golden Retrievers, Labradoodles, Greyhounds, and more! My Mom currently has 2 Labradoodles, and I've watched/dog sat them on several occasions. I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pup(s), and help you in any way I can! If you're in need of a dogsitter, please feel free to reach out! Have a fabulous day! I don't have many times during the week where I'm not available! I will be busy on Thursday mornings until 11:30 for the next several weeks, but aside from that, I'm very flexible and can work with what you need for your schedule. I will be able to care for dogs in your home as you need me to. I can care for cats in my apartment if needed, and if you're comfortable with your cat(s) being around my kitties. No matter what, I will be able to come to you and your cat(s)/dogs(s) and help out!

About: I've been around animals my whole life, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, turtles, and birds growing up, and now goats, chickens, and a cat of my own. My sister, an animal behaviorist, taught me to communicate with animals through trust rather than dominance-based methods. I treat every pet like family, so you can relax knowing yours is loved, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away." As a freelance video editor, I work from home full-time, which means I'm around throughout the day to check in, play, and give walks, not just squeezed in before or after work. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust for feeding times, potty breaks, or any specific routine your pet needs. I work from home, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, I'm just a room away most of the day. I treat every home and pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own, keeping to their normal routine and environment as closely as possible.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Carus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carus is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,449 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carus. 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
