“Real talk, Cameron is awesome! He watches our furry beats twice a day and is very attentive and tastes great care of them. I greatly appreciate his reliability, totally rock solid. He's also very polite, a great communicator, and provided a good amount of detail regarding the care our pets received. Last, but definitely not least, he's been amazing at continuously sending not just pictures, but amazing pictures of our furbabies, evidently he has quite the eye as well. An all around very solid and exceptional experience.”
About: Dog and cat owner for over 18 years. I also have had hermet crabs and an axolotl - love all animals! They all have a unique personality and it's so fun to get to know them. Just a girl who was not able to have animals as a child so I have an entire adulthood to make up for that surrounding myself with the best creatures out there - animals! We can learn so much as people from animals and showing how we care for animals reflects who we are. I currently am a mom at home with kids in school so I have availability during the day and am flexible for evenings as well. I have a dog, 2 cats and an axolotl. It's important animals feel safe with me so I let them take the lead and I engage with them when they show they are ready. I'm happy to do what you as the client feel comfortable with and need for your fur babies to feel safe and comfortable.
“Mary did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our dog, Lucky, and our cat, Titus, while we were out of town. She was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about animals. Lucky got plenty of walks and attention, and both pets were happy and well cared for when we returned. Mary went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and many more pets my entire life. I consider pets as part of the family and love them so much! I have been involved in animal rescue and rehabilitation since I was 10 years old. I have multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and other pets. I have even cared for medically complicated dogs and cats. I have experiencing with animals that have had diabetes, heart disease, muscular skeletal disease, and many more ailments. I am very comfortable with administering medication. Currently my dog has epilepsy so I understand and empathize with the extra love and care required when treating medical conditions. I love animals more than anything, and love to care for them. My schedule is open during weekdays. Sometimes I am able to be available on weekends with enough of a notice. Please just let me know! I have a fenced in backyard and have multiple leashes, poop bags and other pet care tools of my own, that I always keep on hand.
“Blake and Kayla took great care of our puppy, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking to book drop-in visits. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future!”
About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. The pictures in my bio are all dogs I’ve worked with, mostly on my property and a few field trips I’ve taken my dogs/fosters on. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings. All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to care for pets in your home. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have plenty off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
“Samantha took great care of our puppy, and we’d recommend her to anyone looking to book drop in visits. She was on time and shared detailed updates and photos. We look forward to having her back!”
“I found Miranda last minute and she really helped me out watching my new puppy. She gave him lots of love and always sent me a detailed report of how her visit went. I highly recommend her.”
“Kristen was great! Her care of our fur baby was meticulous & she updated us every day with photos. Our home was also respected by her as we noticed almost no difference from when we left it. We are happy to have found such a responsible sitter & hope she is available for our next trip. Five stars in every department!!”
“Sarah took amazing care of our 2 kitties while we were camping for 5 days! She updated us daily with photos and let us know how they were doing every time. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
“Angela took excellent care of my cats! She was very communicative and professional. She sent lovely photos of them all and took time to give them each attention. I would highly recommend her for cat sitting and will be booking her again in the future!”
About: Hello! I think it's obvious that anyone who works for Rover is an animal lover but just in case, i'll reiterate: I love critters of all types and I understand the importance of having someone you trust to watch your fur baby. As a mama to an 8 year old pitty mix, 6 year old weiner dog and senior kitty cat,I want to know that whomever is taking care of them loves animals and is excited to be doing so and I want to extend that feeling to all of you. I can provide daily walks/runs with your dog(s) or take care of whatever their energy needs are. I work from home and can be there all the snuggles and potty breaks they need. Thank you for trusting me with the care of your fur baby! I work from home so can spend maximum time with your critters, whether that's house sitting at your place or watching them at mine. If house sitting, there would be times I would leave for various reasons but can default to whatever time frame your pet is used to social time and potty breaks. I am very attentive to critter behavior and value anything you have to tell me about how you keep your dog/cat safe, exercised, loved, and healthy. When I'm away I love getting pictures of my animals and check ins about how they are doing and would love to provide that for you if you'd likw.
“Cortney helped me out in a pinch and am so grateful for her ability to check on my girl while I was at work and send photos too. Easy to communicate with and updated me with all the information I would want to know. Thank you Courtney!”
About: I grew up in a veterinary family, then worked in a busy veterinary practice as an assistant for 10 years. My four legged dependents include two rescue dogs and two older cats. I’m well versed in the level of commitment and routine it takes to care for animals well. I currently work in a hybrid role that has me working from home several days a week. I have a small, pet friendly home with a well fenced yard. Dogs go out for frequent potty breaks and have plenty of couch time. I currently work full time, mostly from home. Im in office usually 4-6 hours Tuesday- Thursdays. I have plenty of time to offer drop in care or we can accommodate dogs for day care on the Friday-Monday schedule. I’m attentive to your pets routines and their need for comfort while their people are away. I’m happy to share photos or updates while in my care.
About: I’ve been walking dogs in my neighborhood since 2018 and have experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For the past 3 years, I’ve also been cat sitting for a close friend, helping with feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and making sure their cats feel comfortable while they’re away. As a pet parent to two cats of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your furry family members. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday from 7:45 AM to 5:00 PM and Fridays from 7:45 AM to 12:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available to provide the care and attention your pet needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship. I’m also fully available on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I understand how important it is to have a reliable sitter, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule while making sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of all temperaments and learned how to safely handle excited or nervous pets, including getting them indoors or into crates when needed. I will always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own animals. You can trust that your furry family member will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Raised all manner of pets, including: terrier mix, red-eared slider, leopard gecko, jumping spider, fish, and a crazy rescue dog. Dog/cat and house sat for weeks combined, not afraid of feisty cats and have potty/walk trained my own dog. My part time job is only Thursday-Sat, 9-6. Essentially, I’m free all day Sunday through Wednesday and after work on the weekends! I’ve watched some very particular animals—whatever you need me to do isn’t too specific or weird! Every animal has their quirks. Feeding, cleaning up messes, playing, senior care, I do it all!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cathcart is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 10,800 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cathcart. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cathcart. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
