“I don’t know how Lily is always available when I need her but I am SO grateful!! My boy is big and wild and she really handles him with patience and care. When I get home, he’s happy and I can always tell that he’s been well taking care of. You won’t regret booking this sweet young lady!”
“We were extremely happy with Katelyn, and the dogs were too! During our meet & greet both dogs went up to her, wagging their tails like she was family. She got them to pose for pictures, which was amazing. They’ve both camera shy and even as an agility trainer I’ve had difficulty getting them to cooperate for family photos. Katelyn went over and above in every way.”
“Helen took such good care of our guys. She went beyond and put on some animal documentaries for them to watch. She sent many pictures, asked questions, and was a great communicator. She obviously loves animals and they trust her, our more skeptical guy, warmed up to her quickly and giving her many leg rubs. Would highly recommend Helen!”
“Marcia was so sweet to the kitties. My boy cats are very shy and both of them were out visiting with her on the very first visit. She followed all of my directions and made sure to spend time with them so they know they are being looked after. Will definitely ask for her service again. Thank you!”
“Karley is by far the best Rover sitter we’ve ever used. She is communicative, honest, kind, and consistent. She sent wonderful pictures and detailed updates for every visit. Would highly recommend!!”
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
“Nancy was extremely accommodating & a pleasure to deal with. We had lots of questions and she graciously answered every one of them without delay. Thank you Nancy for going above & beyond for us.”
“Thank you Maura for taking great care of our new puppy. Puppies are a lot of work and leaving them with someone new requires a lot of trust. After an initial meet and greet we were confident Maura would take good care of our puppy Winnie and we were not disappointed. Would recommend and will definitely try to use Maura when she is available.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has experience with dogs of every stripe! From the gentle giant St. Bernard to the spunky rescue Chihuahua, I've had experience caring for (and loving) dogs of every size, age, & breed. After growing up surrounded by cats & dogs, I adopted my own senior rescue pup, Missy Elliot, about 10 years ago. Missy crossed the rainbow bridge back in April but she created a soft spot in my heart for Senior dogs and I would love nothing more than to spend some time taking your senior on leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff. At the same time, I would also love taking a younger pup to the park & working with them on how to sit! I am currently between positions and so, starting mid-July, my calendar is wide open. I have a few scattered trips in late August, but otherwise I am free. As the mom of a pup myself, I am very attuned to the specific needs of each dog or cat. I do my best to integrate myself into the pet's best schedule and I stay in consistent communication with you to check in. Plus, I try to send at least two pictures/updates a day so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I’m a brand new sitter on the Rover app and I’m excited to be here! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, I was always the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors, and I spent years volunteering at animal shelters. For the past 10 years, my home has been a bustling, happy multi-pet household with four rescue fur babies of my own: two cats and two large dogs (a Doberman and a Greyhound). I no longer have animals in my house and I’d love to transition my love for animals to your household. Your babies will be loved, protected, and cared for with the exact same utmost attention I gave my own. I am familiar with caring for dogs who struggle with anxiety and aggression, having managed these traits with my own sweet Dobie. I work remotely Monday-Friday with open weekends. My daily work schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and walks at any time of the day. I also have a car, so I can get to you easily without issues! My top priority when caring for your pets in their own home is maintaining the safety, structure, and daily routines they depend on. I know that welcoming a new sitter requires a high level of trust, which is why I approach every visit with absolute respect and professionalism. I am highly organized, follow all care instructions exactly as written, and will make sure your pets are showered with the attention and affection they deserve.
“Gabby was a wonderful cat sitter who was timely, flexible and always sent pictures with thorough updates. It was clear the kitties felt very comfortable with her! I will definitely be using Gabby again!”
“Lisa was incredible with our dog who can be reactive and anxious. We did a meet & greet and all went well. We have just returned from a 4 day trip and we are sure our dog is happier and more content than when we left. It appears that Lisa gave her lots of love, walks and even played pet calming music on our TV. I would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that can be tempermental. Lisa is nututring and reliable. We will definietly be return customers.”
“I highly recommend Mary! She dropped in twice a day to take care of our cat and gave pets, playtime, and scooped his litter box every time! Great communication and Mary always dropped in to feed him on time!”
“We are thrilled with Rosa’s care for our dogs. She took on the big task of taking our energetic dogs outside to go potty then spent some time with them inside. We felt a sigh of relief after she sent her report with photos giving our pups an A+ for good behavior. We plan to book Rosa again.”
About: •IF YOU WANT CHEAPER RATES OR A DISCOUNT PLS ASK! I’m open!• I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since 2017, providing pet sitting, dog walking, overnight care, boarding, and drop-in visits for family, friends, neighbors, and clients. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I have experience maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior and health, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they receive personalized care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their families. 🐾❤️ I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, typically only 4 hours per day (either 9 AM–1 PM or 1 PM–5 PM), which allows me to dedicate the majority of my time to pet care. I am available on weekends and am often off several days throughout the week as well. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, drop-in visits, overnight care, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Pet care is a major priority for me, and I make every effort to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I have the flexibility and availability to provide dependable, attentive care. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For dogs, this includes regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, feeding according to their schedule, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection and companionship. For cats, I ensure feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the attention, playtime, or quiet companionship they prefer. I am comfortable administering basic medications as directed by owners and carefully monitoring pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I also help maintain a clean environment by cleaning up accidents, washing food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, and keeping pet areas tidy. If caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I can bring in mail or packages, water plants, follow household routines, and help keep your home secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

Makenna helped us with last minute drop in visits for our cat while we were away for the weekend. She took great care of our cat for us and made sure to send daily updates with pictures. We returned home to a happy and healthy cat. We highly recommend her services.
Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.
Jessica is great. I have two cats and one of them is very shy and the other one is outgoing. They both loved her and I loved that in one of Jessica’s pictures. She actually got a picture of my shy cat rubbing up against her.😻 my cats are very good at judging good people
Sherry took care of our little kitty INCREDIBLY! Our kitty was struggling with a sickness and needed some additional support with wiping her nose and Sherry was more than happy to take care of her needs and she gave us consistent updates on our kitty’s symptoms while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter 😊
I met Michelle before she started watching my girls and I was sure we would get along. She loves animals and it shows immediately. She was great at letting me know how the cats were doing every visit and I loved the pics. Jill is a bit more shy but when she finally came out to meet who was feeding her it was all over for me. Jillie talking to me on a video sold me on Michele forever. I’ll be using her again. Thank you so much

As of July 2026, there are 2,485 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cornelius. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
