About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I could walk! I’ve trained my own puppy and taken care of senior dogs. I have patience and love for animals that sets me apart! I am currently a teacher looking for a summer job, which means my schedule is very open throughout the summer months! I am available for daytime visits, walks, feedings, and pet care throughout the week. While I prefer weekdays, I am flexible and may be available on weekends when needed. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who will treat your home, dog, or cat with the same care, respect, and love that I would give my own pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
About: I have cared for animals the majority of my life. In a personal as well as professional capacity. Previously, I worked for a dog daycare/boarding facility in northern Virginia which allowed me to work with dogs of different sizes and temperament. I have volunteered on and off over the years at various shelters and ranches. I currently have a certificate of completion to be a Veterinary Assistant and am looking forward to continuing my education in animal care. I work full time from home which allows me the freedom to care for my own fur babies without issue. My evenings and weekends leave me open to care for your fur babies! I have a large non-fenced backyard with a 100’ dog lead. I do supervise while my dog is on the lead to ensure their safety.
About: For the past 4 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking for multiple families and have 3 dogs of my own and 3 cats. I have two boxers and a great dane, and I am a true animal lover and would be thrilled to be able to take care of your fur babies! I am a very available, I do work night shift 2-3 nights a week 7pm-7:30 am. I am usually up early as well and open to any times. At other people’s homes I make sure to follow whatever rules are given, and I respect boundaries that are given as well. Along with that, I always keep watch on animals that I am walking and or sitting.
“Katie was everything we could ask for our 2 cats. I’m very particular with my instructions as they can be difficult and she made sure to follow everything to the T. I loved that she provided detailed feedback and pictures every time. Will definitely work with her in the future!”
About: My apartment complex has a side yard with plenty of space throughout it. I have a couple dog parks nearby, a courtyard and neighborhoods within a few feet that are all dog friendly. I usually let the dogs roam freely in the apartment. I am currently working remotely so taking frequent breaks wouldn’t be a issue. I am able to show the dogs lots of attention throughout the day. I have experience working with special needs dogs, older dogs and puppies. My expertise allows me to care for each dog as if it were my own. My schedule is extremely flexible, giving me more time for your pups! I am available for boarding during the week and some weekends. I can stop pass and do walks and feeding for your pups during the week at anytime. I have a gated yard and my own friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also have 3 dog parks nearby to take the dogs to walk and play.

“What can we say! Lucy was a last minute find as we lost our other sitter. She went out of her way to meet up and put us at ease. Our two senior dogs absolutely love her. She's extremely personable and responsible, asking all the right questions and making sure we were in constant contact throughout. She sent pictures too that allowed us to see how well the pups were doing. We plan to use her again and recommend her to other family. While the dogs were excited to see us, they clearly miss her. Thank you Lucy!”
“Brandi was an excellent sitter for our dog for 8 visits while our family was on vacation. Our pup Hamlin enjoyed her visits and company each day. Thank you again and will recommend you to any other customer needing any dog sitting. 😁”
About: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for cats throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I can provide consistent feeding, litter cleaning, and playtime based on your cat’s normal routine. Because I focus on cat-only care, I maintain a calm and quiet environment without the stress of dogs. I’m also able to check in frequently, monitor behavior, and give extra attention to shy or senior cats that may need more patience. I provide a safe, quiet, and cat-friendly environment designed to reduce stress. Cats are kept indoors at all times, with secure doors and windows. I keep litter boxes clean, provide fresh water, and follow your feeding instructions carefully. I also separate cats when needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable, especially for shy or first-time guests. I take time to build trust with each cat and never force interaction. I monitor eating, behavior, and overall comfort, and I’ll send regular updates and photos. If caring for cats in a client’s home, I respect your space, follow all instructions closely, and make sure your cat’s routine stays consistent.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 868 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Deerfield Township. 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.
