About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, especially dogs. I’ve been around them since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve helped take care of family pets, neighbors’ dogs, and friends’ pups—feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine. Your pet will be treated like family with patience, kindness, and lots of care. As a fellow pet parent, I always want to provide the best care possible. My rates reflect the time, love, and attention I give each pet, along with the platform’s service fees I work from home, so pets get to be part of my daily routine—aka my favorite coworkers! I take plenty of breaks for belly rubs, walks, treats, and playtime. Since I’m around all day, your pet gets lots of attention and very little alone time. My flexible schedule makes it easy to keep them happy, entertained, and feeling right at home. I like to take the time to make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. I provide a clean, pet-friendly space and a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get their energy out while staying secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including scheduled feedings, fresh water, and any needed medications. Whether we’re inside relaxing or outside adventuring, I keep a close eye on them to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and well cared for.
“Chloe was great with our cat, Satchmo. She did drop-in visits for his meals and a little bit of socializing. She sent pics every day and updated us. We feel like we can trust her coming in and out of our house. Great experience.”
“Cheryl was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better person to sit with my baby while being out of town! She gave me daily updates to let me know how my kitty was doing! I would highly recommend Cheryl!! Thanks again!”
About: This is the first time I have been on rover but I have pet sit for others in my past (about a year and a half ago) for over 20 dogs and I have never received a complaint. I love animals and I believe that they feel emotions to and get lonely when their family has to go places without them so I try to treat all of them with genuine care. I am currently working part time so I will have to be flexible with my schedule but I mostly work mornings (10am-2pm) other than that I am free and open to your needs I don’t have a big open house or a fenced in yard so I won’t be providing this service, thank you for understanding.
About: I am a stay at home mom and passionate dog person. I had a senior dog of my own, currently have a puppy, and I've volunteered with my local Humane Society on a consistent basis for over 18 months. I would love to help you out and love on your furry friend while you are at work, or away on vacation. I have been caring for my own dogs and family dogs for 20+ years, and pet sitting for friends and family since 2008. I have extensive experience administering medication to dogs. A previous client of mine had an elderly dog who needed daily insulin shots, and my own dog had to take medicine every day as well. Any questions? Shoot me a message! I have the flexibility to work with your schedule. However day time works best if your pup needs long walks. 9-3 are my ideal hours since I have childcare. In the client's home, I am happy to do whatever is needed to make a pup feel comfortable and loved while their family is away. I have had a very picky senior dog, with silly quirks and demands, so I am willing to follow any unique directions for your pooch. I can sit and read with them so they don't feel lonely or we can run around and play. I'm here to make them happy. I know when I'm away from my pets I love to see pictures of them and how they're doing. I miss their little faces! I can send you pictures, videos, whatever you need to make things a little easier while you're away. At this time, I can only accept dogs in my home for care if they are socialized to other dogs, cats, and children.
About: I am training to be a dog trainer so I could help train you dogs/cats. I don't have any dogs of my own right now but I would love to help others people and their pets. I would love to take care of pets. I will only stay at your house with your pet if you need me to or would like me to. I can walk them as long as it isn't too hot or too cold for them. When pet sitting I could help teach you pets how to do new tricks.

Cheryl was excellent for us doing drop-ins over 4 days for 4 cats. She was timely, professional, respectful, and kind. Cheryl took excellent care of our cats and home as well as accommodating special requests. She took care of my babies like they were her own and sent plenty of photo updates. We felt at ease knowing Cheryl was taking care of our home. She has incredible communication and is so reliable. We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Cheryl!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Derby on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 192 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Derby. 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.

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.
