“So thankful for Sarah! This was my first time needing someone I didn’t know to take my babies out while I’m gone, and I’m so glad it was by her. She was prompt, available last minute which I am so thankful for, and great with communication and response! I have a recently adopted pup I don’t know a whole lot about yet and she handled him wonderfully, as well as my other baby. Knowing she was coming gave me such peace of mind. I absolutely recommend her!”

“Used Lynne while I was away. She was very responsive. She looked after my cat. Feed her her treats. She brought in my packages that where left on my front porch from Amazon. She kept me up to date on her visits. Lynne is reliable and has a very sweet personality. If I wasn't moving, I would use her again. I do recommend using Lynne for your furbabies.”

About: Raised in Oklahoma surrounded by horses, chickens, goats, and dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. My six years as a postal letter carrier added another layer to that experience, giving me a strong, practical read on dog behavior and body language out on the daily route. Now living in The Villages, I bring that lifelong familiarity to every sit. I’m comfortable with the full spectrum of pets—from giant Mastiffs to tiny Maltese, alongside cats, birds, and farm livestock. Though new to the Rover platform, I am an experienced, full-time sitter with a proven track record of 28 five-star reviews from past clients on Trusted Housesitters. Working remotely full-time means I’m right there where your pets need me most. They get steady, around-the-clock companionship, regular outdoor breaks, and total consistency with their usual feeding and exercise schedules. Whether you have an energetic dog that needs active routine or a senior pet that prefers a calm, watchful presence, I offer dependable, level-headed care that keeps your animals safe and your property thoroughly respected. Because my wife and I both work remotely full-time, our schedule is extremely flexible. Someone is almost always present in the home, meaning your pets receive constant companionship, frequent pot-breaks, timely feedings, and zero disruption to their normal daily routine. We easily integrate walks, play sessions, and attention throughout the day while we work. We treat your home and pets with total respect, cleanliness, and security. During sits in your home, we follow all security protocols, maintain strict leash safety during outdoor walks, and adhere closely to your feeding, crate, or medication routines. We send regular updates and photos so you can travel with complete peace of mind, knowing your pets and property are in mature, experienced hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Citra is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 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.

As of October 2026, there are 552 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Citra. 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 .

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.
