“Jennifer was great with my kitties! She fed and played with them, took care of the litter box, and took great photos for updates. She's an awesome cat sitter and I won't hesitate to book her again!”
“I don't think I would ever find a more caring person to take care of my pets while I am away from home She is truly concerned about their comfort and every need She does as she is asked and goes beyond what is needed I will always use her if she is available when I need any further care of my furry babies And they seem to be comfortable with her coming to see them”
“Carla was exceptional with my 2 cats for drop in visits. She is very thorough and communicative. One of my cats takes oral medication and she was able to successfully administer it every day! The cats looked very happy and content in every photo update she provided.”
“So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.”
“This is the second time Chrystal has watched our cats for multiple days at a time and I couldn't feel more at ease. She is attentive and communicative. She will be my first choice next time as well! Thanks Chrystal🐾”
“Katie did a great job taking care of my shy cat and getting her to come out a bit. She left my apartment very clean and bagged up any dirty litter to stop smells which I appreciated. Thank you!”
“Faced with a long, tough road trip on very short notice, i contacted Catsitter Hollingsworth who did a magnificent job taking care of the cat. All instructions were followed to the letter.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services. I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule as well. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“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.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years now. I’ve done a wide variety of jobs. I have worked on a long term schedule, stayed overnight, and handled last minute care situations. Every single time I have met both the fur baby and owner with care, compassion, and trust. I have always loved caring for pets and love to tune in with each of their personalities! From hyperactive pups to our elderly babies who just want to watch tv together. It’s amazing to bring out the personality in each one and give them the opportunity to be in charge! If they want to walk, we walk, if they want to play, we play, if they want to chill all day, we chill! I can ensure that while you’re out, your pet will be taken care of and loved so you can remain stress free. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to work with you and your pet. I love getting out of the house and would love to spend the day with your fur buddy! I currently have one large dog and one cat in my home. I plan to only work within the clients home. I believe it’s best to keep pets in their safe space so they can remain stress free while you remain stress free as well. I’m accustomed to house sitting, house care, and staying overnight if needed. I can assure you that I will abide by the campsite rule and always leave things better than how I found them!
About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients! I believe my skills make me a great option for all your pet care needs. I will never turn down dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.
About: My mother is a verterinarian so I grew up around her veterinary clinic assisting her with tasks. This has helped me really understand our pets and their needs. They will be taken care of and in good hands! Please note: I’m currently accepting bookings in the Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Cocoa, and Merritt Island areas only. Feel free to message me with any questions! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my schedule. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, making sure they receive timely walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep them on their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep fresh water available, make sure they’re fed on schedule, provide exercise and playtime appropriate for their energy level, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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: 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.
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 971 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 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 .

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
