About: I have worked with and trained dogs since I was 12 years old. I have particular experience with German Shepherds, Pitbull mixes, Border Collie, Australian Shepherds, Labradors, and Rottweilers. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs and lots of dogs with behavioral and aggression issues. I have worked with super high energy dogs such as Huskies, Border Collies , and calmer bigger breeds, like Cane Corsos and mastiffs. I am currently a full time college student so my schedule is pretty open because this is my only job(although I don’t really consider it a job I love it) so I can pet sit on weekdays weekends mornings and nights and I am available to do quick drop ins, dog walks , and overnight stays. I cannot board dogs or cats at my own house but I can board reptiles. Since I have several animals of my own, I would be caring for animals in other people’s homes I can do overnight stays,I can do drop ins, I can do dog walks, and I can also drop by and clean litter or anything you really need. I also have lots of experience with different reptiles so reach out to me if you have questions regarding reptile care/boarding.

“Madeline was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. One of our cats requires medication, and she handled that with care and confidence, which gave us great peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by spending time outside with our cats so they could safely enjoy their courtyard time—something they really love. It meant so much to know they were getting that extra attention while we were away. We had two very happy, well-cared-for kitties. I would absolutely book Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”

About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.

I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was taking such good care of my fur-babies. I will be using her again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Today, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and I’ve also cared for larger animals like horses, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I spent five years working at a high-end, high-occupancy pet resort, where I cared for a large volume of dogs and cats in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care even in high-pressure situations. I genuinely love what I do, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets. I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I show up with patience, reliability, and real care every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, you’ve found the right person. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but my love for animals is what inspires me to offer pet care for weekend trips and getaways! However, I have a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for early morning or late evening walks and check-ins on specific days during the weekdays. I care for both your pet and your home with a lot of respect and attention to detail. I’m big on cleanliness and keeping things in order, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also understand that accidents happen, and I’m always prepared to quickly clean up things like potty accidents or throw-up to keep your home clean and your pet comfortable. For walks, I’m extremely vigilant and safety-focused. I pay close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and your pet’s behavior at all times. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is secure, structured, and stress-free.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.

About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I mostly work with the cats but I have helped with the dogs as well. I also have watched my sister’s senior dog many times. I am currently in an animal science class learning more about animals. I have a pretty open schedule currently. Most of my weekends are free and during the week I can easily work stuff around to fit your needs. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the only days I am not free. I have two cats that are very spoiled. I have watched my sister’s dog at my house and they did get along. I have a fenced in yard. I will of course follow any and all instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: I'm a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate and aspiring veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical histories. My background spans several areas of veterinary medicine—I've had hands-on clinical experience in oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, alongside extensive involvement in community veterinary clinics, student-run programs, and animal shelters. Years of working directly with animals across a variety of settings have given me invaluable firsthand insight into their behavior and body language, including how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each animal's comfort level. Beyond the scrubs and textbooks, I'm simply someone who loves meeting new pets, learning their personalities, and finding ways make their days a little brighter until their favorite person returns. If I'm not working with animals, there's a good chance I'm looking for them elsewhere—usually birdwatching, hiking, or wandering around the Sacramento Zoo with a pair of binoculars! My current schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and on weekends. I know that life doesn't always go according to plan, so I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, unexpected schedule changes, or urgent pet-care needs whenever possible. Whether you need a regular helping hand or someone to step in on short notice, I'd love to help! My veterinary and animal-handling experience has taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and recognizing even subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort level. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines, following instructions carefully, and minimizing unnecessary stress, and entering every home with respect and care. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate individualized exercise and enrichment needs, from leisurely walks to more active outings with prior approval. I take safety seriously and will always consider each pet's health, temperament, and physical abilities before planning activities. I'll also keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Counsman

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Counsman. 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 Counsman. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
