I am currently in between jobs and have a lot of free time to walk, play with, and care for your dogs and cats during the week! I also have availability during weekends! I am dependable, calm and caring when it comes to your pets! When pet sitting for friends and family, I always work to keep their fur babies on their schedule and regular routine.
“Emma is a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She spent quality time with our dogs who both have special care instructions. She is also an amazing pet photographer! Would highly recommend.”
About: Ive had all kinds of pets my entire life-everything from dogs and cats to hamsters and guinea pigs to lizards and snakes. I love all animals! While I dont have a lot of experience pet sitting, I'm always ready for a challenge. My second ever pet sitting client had 6 dogs! I understand the important of routine for our furry babies and I do my best to follow their regular routine, including meds or other special instructions necessary for their comfort! I am also willing to help with other pets if needed- including rodents, reptiles, and amphibians! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work full time but am able to do drop ins before and after work! My schedule is flexible when I need it to be so mid-day drop ins may be an option if you are near my place of employment. I take special care to follow instructions on how to keep your pets comfy, safe, and secure! I also prefer to meet the pets and owners before I sit so that the pet has an opportunity to meet me with their comfort person around!
About: As I've grown up I have taken care of my three family's pets (two dogs and one cat). Additionally, I've also occasionally assisted my neighbors in taking care of the pets as well. I am very comfortable in working with new pets and will work my best to provide them with the care that each one of them needs. I am a full-time student at Miami University. I am in class generally between 9am to 3pm on weekdays, I will work with you to find the best care that will fit your pet's needs as well as my schedule. I am willing to stay overnight at client's houses so that your pets feel more comfortable. Otherwise, I am willing to check in on your pets throughout the day so that they are not left alone for long periods of time. I will work with you to determine what is best for your needs and your pets.
“Edina was communicative and considerate when watching my two cats over the holiday. I appreciated the quick messages and pics which let me know my kids were important to the sitter. As a pet parent with a special need for oral meds to be administered around feedings, I know my cat is not the easiest job. I would most definitely hire Edina again in the future.”
“Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!”
About: Ive been around pets my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owners instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe abs comfortable while they're in my care I currently work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays, ( sometimes they don’t schedule me all days) and I attend college during the week. My school schedule is fairly flexible with no more than two classes per day, usually lasting around 2 hours each. This gives me plenty of time between classes and work to care for pets, provide walks, drop in visits, and spend time with pets staying with me. I'm also available for boarding and overnight care. On weekdays, drop-off and pickup times may need to be arranged around my class schedule, but I'm happy to work with owners to find a time that works for both of us. My days off from work are Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, so I have even more flexibility on those days. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and bathroom breaks based on their normal routine. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while there away from home. In a clients home, I follow the owners instructions closely and try to keep the pets routine as normal as possible. I'm respectful of the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet gets the care, attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they need. I'm also happy to send updates and photos do owners know how their pet is doing.
“Britany has been so reliable and does a great job with our cats. She spends time with them playing and makes them feel comfortable while we are away. I would suggest anyone in the area use Britany for your pet needs.”

I'm flexible when it comes to schedules an am always willing to work with you so you an your pet get the best service provided.

In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,236 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Collinsville. 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 .

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.
