Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!

Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.

About: I’ve worked at a pet store for over 2 years, and I’ve been a dog bather for about half a year. I’ve always had pets my whole life but i’ve learned so much about our fur babies in the past few years. It’s something that I can do on weekends nights, and on weekends depending on school and my work schedule. Im pretty open though on most nights! I have a fenced yard with a big german sheppard, and two black cats that roam the house. I am always with my animals to keep them company and keep up there needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I started just walking dogs, and then progressed to watching family/friends dogs while they were on weekend trips/ vacations once I was able to drive. On top of watching other peoples animals, I’ve always had animals of my own, so I’ve been around Dogs/Cats my whole life. I am due in November, and I won’t be working once I have my baby. My schedule is completely open and my Dog is looking for a friend to have a sleepover 🩵 I have 3 acres and lots of room for dogs to run around and play! My dog gets along with any kind of dog, so your fur baby will have a friend the whole time! If you would like your dog crated, I can do that as well.

About: I've administered diabetic medication and pills for years and am very comfortable doing so. I work well with high needs pets, especially those older in age and disabled. I can walk both cats and dogs at their pace and am committed to their cognitive enrichment with toys and games and also to their comfort with gentle words and cuddles. I work part time: Monday-Thursday evenings and Saturday morning-afternoon. My pet care schedule is super open as I am a very laid back person who usually prefers to stay in. Mon-Thur I can be around from early morning until 3, on Saturday I'm available by 4, and I am totally free for the day and night on Friday and Sunday. I always safety check harness and leash before opening the door and I'm extremely careful to keep all exits secured. As someone with a sneaky cat, I know how it is. I'm aware of harmful human foods and products and always keep my things stored away safely.

Molly is absolutely wonderful ! We were getting a new puppy so I started looking on Rover for a sitter to help with letting her out. I set up a meet and greet with Molly the weekend we brought our girl home. She came over and stayed for an hour just talking & playing we knew Molly was the one we could trust with our 8 week old puppy. I have scheduled drop in visits and love getting all the photos of Ahsoka having fun playing….will definitely be booking Molly to keep her for an upcoming vacation!

Julie sent tons of updates and pictures of Remy while we were out of town, and had great communication before/during our booking, which helped ease any anxiety I had. Remy was definitely spoiled with treats and attention and absolutely loved being able to stay in our home instead of a kennel while we were traveling. We will be using Julie for any future bookings if she's available, as Remy was happy and worn out from playing when we got back!

About: When your pet stays with us, they’ll never be short on love, attention, or care. My fiancée and I work together as a team, so your furry family member always has someone nearby to meet their needs. Our home provides a safe, active, and welcoming environment, complete with a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run, cuddle on the couch, stay by your side every minute, or requires medications and specialized care, we’re experienced and comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. Our family includes children who genuinely love animals and enjoy giving pets extra affection, playtime, and companionship. We treat every guest like one of our own, providing personalized care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is in experienced, caring hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your special companion! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a flexible work schedule, and my fiancée is a stay-at-home mom, which means your pet is rarely left alone and always has someone nearby to provide care, attention, and companionship. Our daily routine revolves around spending time with the pets in our home—whether that’s supervised playtime in our fenced backyard, relaxing indoors, feeding, walks, cuddle time, or maintaining their normal routine. The only times one of us typically steps away are for brief school drop-offs, pick-ups, or our children’s sports activities, and those outings are usually short. Because someone is almost always home, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized attention, medication if needed, and plenty of love throughout the day. We strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they’re part of our family during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities. Our home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under supervision. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy plenty of cuddles, or simply find a cozy spot to unwind. For dogs who are crate trained or prefer having their own quiet space, we have additional crates available where they can relax with their favorite blanket or toy. With a two-story home, a finished basement, and multiple living areas, we’re able to accommodate a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being in the middle of the action or needs a calmer environment while they settle in, we can provide a space where they feel safe and comfortable. Every pet is different, and we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so we can provide personalized care throughout their stay. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own vacation while you enjoy yours with complete peace of mind.

About: I’m an animal lover and pet owner just looking to help other pet parents. I can take your dog on runs or hikes if desired, or we can just go for a casual stroll. I’ve dog sat and house sat in the past, so let me give you some peace of mind when you are traveling! Your pets will be loved like one of my own and given the best care possible. I am in between jobs right now so I have lots of flexibilty, even on holidays! No pet is too big or too small and no task too hard! I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, and horses. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate almost any needs at any time of day. Please reach out to me with your specific schedule and I will see what I can do to assist. I do not currently take pets in my home for boarding as I have a dog who prefers to be the center of attention. But I am willing to and comfortable with providing any sort of care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I am more than happy to facilitate outside activities like hikes, parks, or even just socialization outings. If your pet has any special needs at home, I am more than happy to listen and accommodate!

Jaclyn is definitely good with pets and I would highly recommend her services. She instantly bonded with my cat and spend time with him while I was away. She also brought some toys which my kitty enjoyed (and still does). Jaclyn also visited before I left on my trip show I could show her around. She also provided very extensive reports and photos of her visits.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,164 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Defiance. 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 Defiance. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
