“She was so wonderful watching our cat, Cheddar and letting us know if packages arrived. She made sure our house was secure and that Cheddar was well loved while we were gone!”

“Samantha is always the best and most reliable!! She is always on time and takes the cutest photos of my boys to send me while she’s there. We’ve used her every time we go away and the pups are always happy and healthy on our return home. Highly recommend!!”

“Bethany was great to communicate with during our time away. She kept us updated on Luna with pictures. Luna seemed incredibly well taken care of and healthy on return. Would definitely recommend anyone to book Bethany.”
“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”

“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 and I’m looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other… I’m not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.

About: Hi I’m Yasmina but you can call me Mina! caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for years. I spent nearly four years working in a veterinary practice, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I continue to pet sit for long-term clients, including my former veterinary employer and another long-term client, caring for their dogs, cats, and even a saltwater aquarium while they’re away. I understand that every pet is different. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets, blind and deaf dogs, reactive dogs, pets that require medications, and animals that need extra patience and individualized care. Safety, routine, and reducing stress are always my top priorities, and I’m happy to work with whatever makes your pet feel most comfortable. Outside of work, animals have always been part of my family. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention and compassion that I give my own. Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routine, medications, allergies, or anything else that helps them feel safe and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! My schedule is very flexible this month (July), allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, or medication, I’m happy to work with your routine to help keep them comfortable while you’re away. I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Whether that means following feeding schedules, administering medications, going on walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet in the way they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to crate pets if requested and always prioritize safety, communication, and respect for your home. I love sending photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well.
“Priya was very attentive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She sent detailed updates with every drop in. She kept an eye on our home for us too. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kadence was a wonderful sitter for my cat! She was great at communicating, timely, and always sent pictures. My cat was delighted to see her and always looking well loved and petted in the photos.”

“Melissa has been caring for our pups for the past few years, and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. She is consistent, reliable, and genuinely caring. While we were away, she made sure our dogs were comfortable, happy, and well looked after every single day. We always come home to relaxed, content pups, which says everything about the quality of care she provides. We’re truly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”

“I was very pleased with the job Dawn did. This was my first time going away in a few years and I also just lost one of my dogs a few weeks ago making harder to leave them. I appreciated the notes and pictures. I have a blind dog and I felt like he was in good hands. I would definitely use Dawn again.”


About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“Chrystal did an amazing job with our kitties! Very attentive and well informed on cat care, our kitties did great with her. We will be rebooking with her in the future :)”

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.
“My husband and I have called on Ashley twice for our mini dachshunds and she has been great both times. We typically have trips pop up for work and she is great with last minute requests. Our older pup Lola loves her which is a huge win for us! She always sends pics and is super communicative with us, we will definitely continue using Ashley moving forward.”

“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”

“Anthony cared for my greyhound and GSD with drop in visits for a whole week and I have nothing but good things to say! Great communication, lots of pictures, and made me feel very comfortable. I will be booking with Anthony again!”

“Diana is an incredibly kind a warm spirit who took fabulous care of our two dogs. A consummate professional and very respectful. I do not hesitate to recommend her for your needs as well and will undoubtedly look to her again for ours. Thank you again Diana!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 949 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Courtenay. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Courtenay. On Rover:

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.
