Elliana was amazing! She took the time to come meet with us and our cat, Luci, before we went out of town. Every day during her drop by visits we got updates with photos! Definitely recommend!!

We had a rocky start with the dog but Olivia stuck it out. She was always on time and left very detailed notes and pictures of Rocco. I would refer her to anyone. Next time we need a sitter Olivia is the one.

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

Christina is truly caring and patient with our cat Spaghettio. She was so kind and made even such a shy cat warm up to her right away. She replies right away and always has your pets interest in mind. I highly recommend Christina!

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.

About: I love my friend’s and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. I am ready to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. My work schedule grants me availability to help pet owners during busy vacation times and holiday seasons. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.

Maya did an amazing job with our anxious pup. We unexpectedly had new neighbors move in above us the day before our trip. Maya did a great job at communicating how peanut was doing with the adjustment during the visits and provided lots of great photos as well.

Stephanie was kind, caring and professional. She took such great care of our Great Dane while we were out of town, we could never thank her enough. She was prompt and always spent the allotted time with our pup. Stephanie also always checked in and out and provided us with detailed updates. I would recommend her to anyone and will probably request her services again in the future!

About: I love making sure animals feel comfortable and welcomed. I have dog sat for my family for many years. I grew up having animals all around me and I love them to death and could not picture life without them. Helping out is something I love to do for people and making things as easy as possible for everyone involved. Give me the chance to love your animal when it’s convenient for you and I promise they will come home to you just as you left them and they will be super loved while in my care. Pets are like family members and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I am very patient with shy animals and I’m passionate as well. I’d love to have the opportunity to work with your animals. I do this a a side job to earn money to help support my family. I have taken care of animals all my life seen as I grew up with them. So technically I do this daily but as far as customers pups I do it as needed. I never let a dog outside without a lease unless the yard is fenced. In my home the doors that lead to outside are always locked! I have my pups that would love to play and tire out your kiddo. If parents prefers the dog can be kenneled, and as always we will send pupdates to ease the parents minds!

She took great care of my 5 cats! She was able to administer medications and monitor one of my cat’s respiratory rates, which gave me peace of mind while away! Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 424 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across De Soto. 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 De Soto. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
