“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Abigail took care of my 2 aging fur babies for several days. I couldn't be happier when I saw the daily photos of my female cat being social with Abigail!!! My female cat is normally very standoffish with strangers, but not with Abigail. Animals know when a person is good, and they loved her! My fur babies give Abigail 5+ Stars. I will definitely schedule with Abigail again. :)”
“First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.”
“Raquel was amazing! She stepped in on short notice and took great care of Ivy! She was very communicative and went above and beyond in treating her as if she as her own! Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing specialized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have experience in training puppies and providing gentle care for senior pets. I understand that every furry friend is unique, and I strive to create a personalized and loving experience for each one. My goal is to ensure their comfort, happiness, and overall well-being while their owners are away. Being home full time allows me to fully dedicate myself to pet care. It's a part of my daily routine, ensuring that I can give your precious fur babies all the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just cuddling, I'm always there for them! As a pet watcher, I make sure to follow any specific instructions given by the owner, such as feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I strive to create a comfortable and familiar environment for the cats/dogs, reducing any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away.
“Needed someone to feed our cat over the Christmas weekend as our normal arrangement was unable to do so. Skylar made the in his buddy schedule to make sure our cat was fed and even though he didn't have to, still interacted and played with our cat. He was a real life saver!”
“Lindsey is always prompt and professional, plus we can tell she really likes animals! This is her second time taking care of our crew and she is already scheduled again. Thank you!”
“Alexa is amazing!! From first outreach, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She made sure our cats were well cared for and even spent extra time with them, and sent plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
About: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.
“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him. Since Kafka is 19 years old, I really appreciated her care and attention. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“This was the second time Lauren cared for our 3 cats over a holiday week. She is super reliable, conscientious and great caretaker for our cats. I hope she is available for my next trip!”
About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My first pet sitting experiences started with my sister and long time friend, both of whom own two doggos. I like to send updates and pictures about every 2 hours and go on extended walks if your pet enjoys that. I’m also not scared to ask questions to ensure I’m giving your baby the best care possible. Special food instructions and medication with pill pockets have been common. Clients in the NOVA and DC area have emphasized that I’ve given them a peace of mind while they are away! I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker! I have plenty of open slots for walking. Recently I’ve been working with clients that I’ve met in person or through groups on Facebook, which is why you don’t see recent reviews on here. Feel free to follow Soso’s Pet Care on FB! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!
About: As a devoted dog mom to my 12.5-year-old Maltipoo, Theodore, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Having cared for Theodore throughout every stage of his life, I have firsthand experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they may need as they age. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your pet with the same kindness, care, and attention I give my own! Whether you need someone for regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! Send me a message so we can chat about your pet's needs and how I can give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. While I work full time during the week, I make time in my schedule to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members! I'm available for weekend boarding, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week before or after work. Depending on your location, I may also be able to do visits during my lunch break. My own dog, Theodore, is free to roam the living room while I'm at work rather than being confined to a crate - your dog can do the same if you want. I also have an indoor pet camera that allows me to check in on him throughout the day, giving me extra peace of mind when I'm away. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there isn't a fence but there is an onsite dog park. I don't have children, so my home is generally quiet and free from the noise and activity of a busy household, making it especially welcoming for pets who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, including senior dogs. I care for pets by making sure they get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, fresh water every day, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of cuddles and love (if they enjoy them!). I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I currently work part-time about four days a week, usually from 9–3 or 10–3, and my work hours are fairly flexible as well. Outside of those hours, my schedule is pretty flexible and I have plenty of availability for cat sitting, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m also happy to work around your cat’s normal routine and feeding schedule as much as possible. Cats are creatures of routine, so whenever possible, I recommend having them cared for in their own home while their owners are away. Being able to stay in a familiar environment with their usual smells, hiding spots, and routine can help make the experience less stressful for them. When I’m caring for your cat, I try to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, litter, medications, playtime, and anything else that’s part of their normal day. I’m also very careful around doors and entryways, especially with cats who are curious or like to try to sneak outside. I’ll respect your cat’s space and let them decide how much interaction they’re comfortable with rather than forcing attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you can see how they’re doing.
About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.
“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with. She was communicative, kind, and reliable, and I felt comfortable having her stay at my place and care for my cat. I appreciated her update once a day and would definitely recommend her to others.”

Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him. Since Kafka is 19 years old, I really appreciated her care and attention. I highly recommend Nicole!
Michelle was wonderful taking care of Leo and Lucia. She sent detailed updates and photos after each visit, and we really enjoyed reading about her interactions with Leo. She was attentive, thoughtful and even took care of a few things we hadn’t asked her to do. You can tell she genuinely loves cats, and her updates gave us a few good laughs. We’d definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Cassidy took excellent care of my two cats while we were out of town. She followed all care instructions, gave them their medications, helped with packages, and even put the cat furniture back into place after the cleaners came by. We look forward to booking Cassidy again soon!
Abigail took care of my 2 aging fur babies for several days. I couldn't be happier when I saw the daily photos of my female cat being social with Abigail!!! My female cat is normally very standoffish with strangers, but not with Abigail. Animals know when a person is good, and they loved her! My fur babies give Abigail 5+ Stars. I will definitely schedule with Abigail again. :)
Jen was absolutely amazing. She paid so much attention to our kitties, making sure she spent a lot of time with them so they weren't as lonely while we were gone. She was understanding and compassionate when they were acting out and leaving messes on our rugs, she cleaned it and remediated it as well as gave me advice for how to ensure they wouldn't do it again. We are SO grateful for her care and expertise and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make sure their animals are loved and cared for! Thank you, Jen!
Fantastic as always. Being away from our furbabies is always hard but knowing Cliff is watching them is one less stressor off our checklist while we're away from our boys. We know they are well taken care of and loved. Cliff communicates beautifully and sends updates with each check-in with loads of pics and notes. Highly recommend like always! If you want your furbabies well taken care of, choose Cliff! Thanks Cliff!!!
Brooke was consistent, reliable, communicative and caring for our two cats while we traveled for a week. We looked forward to the check in pictures Brooke sent everyday. Brooke — thank you SO much for taking such great care of our two boys while we were away. We could tell they were comfortable and happy with you, and they truly enjoyed your visits!!
Lena was very thoughtful while dropping in on my little guy while I was away for the week. While I was away she even kept an eye on a hygrometer I'd set up just before leaving to make sure the dehumidifier I'd been using didn't over dry the air, and kept actively in communication. My cat felt the love and was 100% stoic when I got home (a good thing! He didn't feel so lonely!) Will be in touch with her again for my next out of town trip!
Victoria is truly the cat whisperer. I cannot recommend her enough. We needed someone to feed them while we were out and my kitties are always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we come home, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. Our cats are also super shy, but with Victoria they come out to say hi. I also really appreciate is her communication. She consistently sends thoughtful updates and pictures, which always brighten my day and reassure me that they’re doing well.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Countryside is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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.

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.

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.
