“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.”
About: Hi! I'm T. I'm a lifelong animal lover. I was born here in Brevard and taught school here for nearly 3 decades. Now I walk dogs and housesit pets! I have always been great with kids and animals. I love meeting new pets and families. I hope you book an appointment soon! Can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 😊🐱❤️🐶 I have an open schedule. Meeting new clients and walking pets is the best part of every day. I get fresh air and sunshine too. It’s good for both of us. ☀️🐶 The only day I’m not available is primary election day August 18! ❤️❤️❤️🐱🐶🚸👩🏫🏫 I am pet-free for the first time ever. But not for long I'm sure. Check back here for updates. I can pick up, drop off, house-sit, and soon train.
“Brook is great! She took great care of our dog with extra love and care as she is recouping an injury. Brook clearly genuinely loves animals. We are in town visiting and we're very comfortable with Brook coming in to help out. In fact, we booked her for another day of check-in.”
About: I've had pets my entire life and have always loved and respected all types of animals. I grew up with dogs and a few hamsters, but 14 years ago I adopted a kitten off of Craigslist and it was the best decision ever. I've volunteered at a few shelters and sanctuaries for cats over the years so I'm not afraid of getting dirty. My last roommate had 3 cats and my current roommate has a pitbull. My cat Moochi tolerates their presence lol. I also love most rodents. I've watched my friend's ferret a few times over the years and he's so fun. I currently work part-time as a house and commercial cleaner and one of my favorite parts of the job is meeting people's pets and spending time with them in between cleaning. That's actually what gave me the idea to try out Rover! I travel all over Brevard and have a lot of free time to fill. I am happy to come to the clients home to visit their pets. I have been alone in many clients homes before for cleaning and have never had issues or complaints.
About: I have years of experience taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends pets. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine care for every pet I look after. I treat each animal like my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, and specific needs. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training like potty routines and leash manners, as well as providing gentle, patient care for older pets who may need a slower pace or extra attention. I’m also very observant when it comes to behavior and health, and I always keep owners updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule, so caring for your pet fits easily into my day. I’m able to plan my time around feedings, walks, and visits, making sure pets stay on their normal routine and feel comfortable. Because of this flexibility, I can give each pet plenty of attention and not rush through my time with them. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by giving them attention, patience, and companionship. I also keep the home clean and tidy—refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, and maintaining litter boxes or outdoor areas. I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: i have been a full time pet sitter for 8 years. i have taken care of all pets big and small, young or old i will be there for your babies! i do pet sitting full time and often have open availability. i am comfortable with all pets and will follow any detailed instructions to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible! i have a fenced in yard and all of my dogs are friendly. food and water is always available and there is a dog park near my house if you are comfortable with me taking your baby there!
About: I’ve had a dog since I was in high school, and over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I understand that every pet has their own personality. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others are happiest having their own space, and I’m comfortable with both. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and as happy as possible while you’re away. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies with someone else, so I’ll send plenty of updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have a little extra peace of mind. I also have a pet camera available, so if your pet is staying with me, you’ll have the option to check in and see them live while they’re in my care. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being well taken care of. 🐾💕 I currently work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so my weekends are my most flexible! I’m available for evening care during the week and have much more availability for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and make sure I can give them the time and attention they need. 🐾💕 I have two 8-month-old bunnies of my own who are very loved and definitely a little spoiled! 🐰💕 If I’m caring for your pet in my home, my bunnies will be moved from the living room into my guest room, where they’ll stay completely separate from your pet. This gives everyone their own safe, comfortable space to relax without any direct interaction. Your pet will have plenty of room to get comfortable, along with lots of love, attention, cuddles (if they want them!), playtime, and maybe a treat or two. I’m big on making animals feel at home and keeping their normal routine whenever possible. When I leave for work, I even like to leave the TV on so they have some background noise and don’t feel like the house is completely quiet. Most importantly, I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, treats, medications, routines, boundaries, and anything else that helps your fur baby feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 969 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.

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.
