“I cannot say enough about Laura. We love our kitty, Dolly, and she in turn is very attached to us. We booked a last-minute vacation and learned that our kitty-sitter had moved out of the area. The minute Laura arrived for a meet and greet I knew I had found the perfect person to care for Dolly. She did everything we asked, and did it well, graciously accepted on-the-fly schedule changes, sent photos and warm, loving messages with each visit. She is absolutely wonderful. We've already asked her to plan for our next two trips.”

About: Hello pet parent! I have lived with, trained, and loved animals since I was a child. I have grown up with multiple dogs, cats, chickens, fish, hamsters, etc… and I would absolutely love to take care of yours! I am a warm, detail oriented, dedicated, and responsible problem solver. I’m also big on communication, updates, and taking pictures of your furry loved one. I take pride in making sure every animal has what they need (and plenty of pets)! Special needs and requests for care are always welcome. I have a lot of experience as many friends, family members, and coworkers have hired me to take care of their beloved pets. All animal inquiries are welcome :) I am currently working full time, with Mondays and Tuesdays off every week. Though my hours are very flexible and I am able to take breaks during the day to check in on your pet! I am happy to stay overnight with a pet, though I am also able to in multiple times a day if preferred. When taking care of a pet, my own or someone else's, they are one of my top priorities! I want to make sure they are the happiest and healthiest they can be, so I tend to go above and beyond when it comes to care. I try to pick the best food possible, make sure they are hydrated, get plenty of fresh air, play, and a few extra toys or outfits are always welcome! I am the oldest of 7 and have a multitude of animal experience under my belt, so I do not get grossed out easily! If there is a mess, I will clean it up with precision and care.

About: I have been house sitting overnight since I was 14. I have experience working with dogs, cats, mice, and flying squirrels. Believe it or not, I have taken care of dogs who were indoor-trained only.I am also an experienced dog walker- not just with my own dogs but with friends' dogs that I've loved as my own. **serious inquiries only** please do not send me a booking request if you're going to ghost me after I respond or if you plan to book with another sitter. You'd be surprised by how often this happens. I abide by the safety precautions at the homes I stay at (fences, ring cameras, etc). When I stay with indoor cats, I take extra precautions when leaving the house to make sure the cats don't escape.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.

“Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

About: I absolutely love going for walks and runs with dogs! Please see updated photos for some of my previous pet clients. Recently took care of a few hairless cats as well as a big dog! I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so messes do not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! Known for my positive and caring energy as a music therapist (who works alongside a pet therapist!) and music teacher, and with a mom with a college degree in animal science, I have a passion for animals in general. She is now dating a farmer and we now have a baby cow named clover who I help take care of occasionally on Sundays. Generally I am available in the middle of the day most days of the week for one-off visits. My boyfriend is a biologist and also has a small dog who I walk frequently in the mornings and at midnight (she’s a night owl like us!) Available to do drop-ins at your home within 45 mins of Montville - please message me at least one week before your trip to solidify the booking! Please be kind, respectful, and professional in your requests - I do not take last minute visits but would love to help you out with your furry friend. Not a veterinarian, just an animal lover with a lot of compassion!! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!

About: Hi I’m Shayla! Animals are truly my whole life. I’m 28 years old and since I was 16, I’ve worked at dog daycares, dog/cat boarding facilities, grooming salons, and I worked as an emergency veterinary technician at a few different hospitals. I have tons of experience and knowledge to give your pets the best care. I have experience with working with animals with behavioral issues, animals of all ages and stages of life, dealing with various medical conditions, administering medications, etc. I’m comfortable with any requests to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible! My schedule has recently become very flexible due to me taking on being a tattoo artist full time, so really the only thing I’ll have to work around is if I have tattoo appointments, which vary weekly. When I care for your pets in your home, i will keep everything clean and organized and respect your space and make your pets as comfortable as possible in their own home!

Fran is the best! She went above and beyond in taking care of our three cats when we were away. One cat was far from cooperative and she adeptly handled a difficult situation. I would highly recommend Fran as she is very responsive and cares for the animals that she is watching. Your mind will be at ease knowing that Fran is keeping an eye on things. :)

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Deep River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,106 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Deep River. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Deep River. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
