“We just used Jennifer to drop in & check on our cats while we had a weekend getaway. Everything seemed to go well & we were very comfortable with Jennifer’s care of our fur babies.”
About: I understand your pets are your babies and they need to be treated as such! I’m ready to do any task so matter how small or silly it may seem with my full heart and I can’t wait to meet everyone’s fur babies!! I also have extensive training and research in animal behavior and how to react to it and occasionally work at a doggy daycare. And I have grown up around animals and know how to handle reptiles, birds, rabbits, and other common pets. Pets are always welcome in my weekly routine! I’m a university student and I have classes 2 days during the week so I have plenty of time to take care of your babies! I also take care of the pets of my family and friends whenever they’re away and have boarded and does a home stay! I would approach the pet calmly using a calm voice and positive reinforcement to provide a loving relationship with them. I would also do everything I could to make them more comfortable, whether it be doing something silly that’s in their daily routine or give them extra special attention. I will always try my best to help them feel safe and taken care of!
“Caroline was wonderful! Our kitty doesn’t warm up to everyone but Caroline must be a cat whisperer because he loved her! She was excellent with the check ins, following all our instructions, and sending great pics and videos! Highly recommend her services.”
“AMAZING!! It was my first time using Rover due to an emergency housing situation, I was so lucky to have found him! Super quick and responsive and took care of my sweet boy so well with so many updates! He was so kind and attentive to my cat, truly an amazing person!

“Jaclyn was amazing! cats were well taken care of. followed instructions i had left. played and loved on them. sent videos and photos of them. clear communication. administers eye drops and oral liquid medications. thank you!”
“My wife and I used Rover for the first time and booked Aspyn. I can say with full confidence that Aspyn went above and beyond to take care of our dogs. She kept us updated on her arrival and shared daily photos to let us know how they were doing. Great communication and respect of our home. Highly recommend Aspyn to take care your animals!”
About: I’ve had pets for years and have grown up with animals. Ever since I was born I was joined by a grumpy maincoon and once I turned 8 I got a siberian husky. Now, years later, I have taken care of many babies, both mine and belonging to others. Along with this I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic so I know how to deal with stressed animals who simply need patience. I am available to walk your babies or come by and feed them while you are on a much needed vacation on any day that’s not Wednesday after 2 pm. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, birds, rats, and many more I understand that animals all have different personalities and often times need an abundance of patience. I know each pet routine varies depending on their breed, needs, likes, and dislikes. I have worked with animals with medical issues so I am experienced in administering shots, giving pills, or any other medications that may be necessary for the safety and comfort of your fur baby.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services. I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule as well. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”

“It was our first time trying out Rover for care for our senior cat, second cat, and 2 Guinea pigs and we’re very happy we went with Pamela! Pamela was very reliable and a natural with our pets. She was professional and communicative and we had full confidence our pets would do well in her hands. We will be coming back for Pamela for future pet sitting needs for sure and recommend her to anyone else looking for quality care for their pets.”
“What a pleasure to have Emily drop-in to care for our cat! She gave us updates and photos every visit. Even if our finicky pet was hiding, Emily made the effort to find her and take a photo. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: Reliable and outgoing, I love animals of all sizes and shapes. From volunteering at shelters, to helping friends walk their dogs or caring for cats. I currently have a full time job, although I am available during the week days after 6pm and all weekend to play and care for your loved pets! I follow instructions very well and am detailed oriented. I like to send picture updates for extended care, or even after a one time daily walk! I’d like to make the most comfortable, easy and fun experience for owners and their pets.
About: I love dogs more than I love actual people. About 3 years ago I started working at a doggy daycare and I had the best experience. Apart from that I've had dogs since I was born. I know how to give professional baths and some types of haircuts. I used to train dogs but I haven't had much experience. I take care of my own pets all day. When I move I won't have a job so if I need to stay with your dog all day I can accommodate that I have a lot of experience handling all types of dogs including reactive. So I can change the way I work to give your dog what they need
About: I have taken care of all size dogs. Often pet sitting for friends and family I have owned 3dogs 2 birds. I am big dog person. However cats love me sometimes without me trying! But when I’m pet sitting I spend time making sure they get good food exercise and loving! I can work any schedule weekends nights or midday etc, into my routine especially during summer. If you have a question or request just ask! I always create safe areas for pets often making sure to close any unnecessary areas or areas with valuables. When outside I check fences and entry ways before allowing the pets out. If walking I keep a shorter leash making sure they remain safe.
About: Hi there, nice to meet you! I have experience with a lot animals. I had my soul dog, a chihuahua mix, since I was 9 years old until I was 22 last year and he lived until 14 years old. I take care of my sibling's and friend's pets as well. My brother has two bunnies - Vale and Haddie. My sister has two guinea pigs - Chichi and Chori. I'd love to get another dog or cat in the future, but for now I will take care of your pets as my own! I'm currently working freelance from my home, so I'm available almost any day/ time of the week to watch your pets. I love to get my steps in daily, so I'm available for walks any time. My home is a very safe environment for your pet. Currently I don't have any pets living in my home. We have a fenced in yard as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,218 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Christmas. 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 Christmas. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
