“Janna and her family were amazing! They took such wonderful care of my cat and showed incredible patience and kindness, especially since it was his very first time being away from home. They made him feel safe and loved, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. I’m so grateful for their care and will absolutely be booking with them again!”

About: I have experience caring for different types of pets and understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and providing plenty of attention. I'm responsible, patient, and dependable, and I will treat your pets like family. I also understand how important it is to follow each owner's instructions and keep them updated while they're away. I'm currently a student at the University of Houston, so my schedule is flexible around my classes. I can work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. I'm happy to provide daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care when arranged in advance. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets have fresh water, food, and a clean environment. I'll keep doors secure, supervise pets during activities, and provide regular updates and pictures so you know your pets are doing well.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life since childhood, and I currently take care of my two dogs and my cat. I love teaching dogs tricks, giving calmer pets cuddles and attention, and running around with active pets! I am a commuter student with mostly online classes, so I have lots of free time. I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays anytime before 6:00 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 6:00 p.m.; and my weekends are available by request, feel free to message me! I will follow your pet’s routine as much as I can for drop-ins. I can handle feeding them, bathroom breaks, litter box scooping for cats, and of course giving them attention! I will attempt to handle their medication if needed, based off instructions and experience required I will be honest about whether or not I can fulfill that requirement. For dog walks, I will keep their pace and secure them on their leash accordingly.

About: I’m an experienced dog trainer with a natural connection to animals and a deep understanding of canine behavior. My family and I give your four‑legged loved ones structure, affection, and constant attention, creating a calm, safe home environment when they need it, and a fun, playful atmosphere when laughter and energy are what help them thrive ⛵️ I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for animals, playing in nature, and welcoming every furry friend who crossed my path. I’ve never purchased a pet as they always seem to find me first 😊 My daughters are the best affection‑giving, playful, and gentle training team! Together, we make sure every pup receives the love, patience, and individualized care they need; whether they’re puppies learning routines, seniors needing comfort, shy pups gaining confidence, or dogs who simply need extra reassurance and calm guidance. We’re comfortable with routines, medications, crate training, potty schedules, and helping pups settle in smoothly during transitions. Our home is gentle, structured, and full of love, perfect for dogs who thrive with consistency, warmth, and a nurturing touch. We welcome all pups sizes and colors ❕️ Pet care is part of our daily rhythm❣️ We naturally build feeding, playtime, walks, and check‑ins into our family routine, and we also include pups in simple daily activities with the kids, always respecting each pet parent’s instructions and comfort level. We keep a calm, structured environment, so whether it’s morning potty breaks, afternoon play, or evening wind‑down time, your pup is included in our schedule with consistent attention and care🤗 Your furry loved ones becomes part of our flow ! I keep a calm, structured environment where your furry loved ones are supervised, safe, and treated like family. I make sure each one feels included and supported, whether they need extra reassurance, confidence‑building, or simply a cozy place to relax. I’m attentive to their emotional needs as much as their physical ones, and I always follow each pet parent’s instructions with care🫶 When caring for furry loved ones in a pet parent’s home, I respect their routines exactly as written and follow instructions closely. I maintain a clean, organized space, keep feeding and medication schedules precise, and follow all household rules. I supervise pups closely, make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment, and send consistent updates so pet parents always know their furry loved ones are safe, comfortable, and happy🌞 I also pay attention to small details, from their favorite resting spot to their unique quirks, so they feel fully supported while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Lina a lifelong dog lover🐾 with 16+ years of hands-on experience in behavior, boarding, and boutique-style care. I’ve created a calm, structured home environment where your dog is treated like family. My space includes a fenced backyard on the water, room to roam, and peaceful nooks for rest and reset. Whether your pup is social or more independent, I tailor each stay to their unique needs, energy, and personality. I’m deeply passionate about what I do. I’ve studied dog behavior and body language for over a decade and understand how to read cues, meet individual needs, and create a safe, low-stress environment. From introverted pups who prefer their space to high-energy dogs who thrive on play,every stay is adjusted with intention. My husband and I maintain an exceptionally clean, safe home. He’s fully hands-on and helps monitor the dogs whenever he’s available, offering added support and love throughout your pup’s visit. We sanitize thoroughly between every stay, use only filtered water, and keep the temperature comfortable year-round. Virtual meet & greets are available upon request (serious inquiries only). I’m happy to show you where your pup will eat, play, sleep and answer any questions to ensure full peace of mind. Please Note: I do not accept dogs with any history of aggression, regardless of size. This is a peaceful, respectful, home-based environment for dogs who thrive in structure, love, and calm. If you’re looking for a sitter who blends professional structure with real heart, I’d love to care for your furry best friend. 🚨 Must-Read: Drop-Off & Pick-Up Timing Policy 🟡 Timeliness is essential to maintaining a peaceful, well-structured environment for every dog in my care. I kindly ask that all drop-offs and pick-ups are made within your scheduled time window. ⏰ Grace Period: A 15–20 minute grace period is allowed. After that, a late fee will be applied. I design each day with intention,and waiting for late pickups takes time away from other dogs’ walks, play, and meals. ✅ If you anticipate being late, please notify me at least 2–3 hours in advance so I can adjust the schedule accordingly. I’m happy to update your booking and send a revised time if needed. 🔁 Please note: repeated late pickups without communication may result in a pause on future bookings. Thank you for respecting the rhythm of the home and helping me maintain a calm, structured flow for all pups. I look forward to caring for your dog with the same presence and love I give every guest. 🐾 Pet Care FAQ Bulletin ❓Do you accept both crated and uncrated dogs? Yes! All dogs are welcome, whether they’re crated or uncrated. Crated dogs will enjoy plenty of love, enrichment, playtime, and one-on-one attention,just like uncrated dogs. The crate simply offers a comfortable, familiar place to rest. It never means your pup will be confined all day. ⸻ ❓Why do some pet parents choose to crate their Dogs? Many dogs actually prefer being crated,it gives them a sense of security, like their own personal den. Some pet parents include crate time as part of their dog’s daily routine, and I’m happy to follow that for consistency and comfort. ⸻ ❓What if my dog doesn’t use a crate? That’s totally fine! I welcome uncrated dogs too, as long as they’re fully potty trained and comfortable being in a home environment. I always aim to mirror your pup’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed. ❓What’s your overall approach to care? 🟡 My care philosophy is rooted in calm, intentional presence. I create a safe, happy, and loving space where your pup can truly feel at home. Whether your dog prefers quiet cuddles or follows me like a little shadow, I gently adjust my energy and environment to meet their unique needs. My goal? To give your dog peace and comfort while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. This isn’t just dog sitting, it’s premium care tailored to your dog’s emotional well-being. ❓Do you take in more than one dog at a time? 🟡 I do, but with thoughtful intention. Sometimes I care for just one dog, and other times I host a small group, depending on the season and my calendar. What matters most is compatibility. I carefully screen each pup to ensure harmony, comfort, and safety for everyone. I don’t accept dogs with any history of aggression regardless of size, so the environment stays peaceful, happy, and secure. This curated approach is what allows me to offer boutique-style, stress-free care for every dog that stays with me. 🟡 I focus on creating a calm, present, hands-on environment, so I don’t offer hourly or ongoing updates throughout the day. If anything urgent arises, I’ll reach out immediately, no delay. That said, I do send thoughtful check-ins and a generous amount of photos so you always feel connected. ❓ What if I want more detailed updates? 🟡 ask me about the Daily Digest For deeper peace of mind, I offer add-on called the (Daily Digest Report Card) a premium upgrade that includes: • Meals & potty notes • Mood & behavior insights • Daily highlight videos & extra photos • Shared through your dog’s private photo gallery Perfect for pet parents who want to feel closer, even while away. Additional premium upgrades like baths and blow dry and more are available. First time using Rover please use my promo code listed below for $20 Dollars off your first booking with me. RICHIT83651, https://www.rover.com/sit/richit83651 I am doing this full now since my other buisness are on auto pilot🚀 I have all the time to pay close attention to your furry 🐕love😻 I was a full time dog breeder and I am a dog trainer so I have more than enough crates (if needed) & experience to make your furry baby feel right at home.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and have volunteered at my local animal shelter from ages nine to fifteen. I only left because of school and the need to get a job. I then worked at a grooming and boarding facility for almost three years. Now I work at an animal clinic as a kennel assistant for our boarding pets. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday with on and off again weekends, but have plenty of free time on the days I work a half day. On the days I work doubles however, I’d only have time to stop by somewhere near work as I only get an hour break. Otherwise, I’m free after 1pm or 6pm on certain days, or before I go in at 1pm. That can be discussed in more detail when required. As someone who has worked with many different boarding pets throughout the years I do believe taking care of pets in your own home will add more comfort to them as well as yourself. It’s easier to care for them on a schedule they are familiar with while in a space they know and love. I always treat them as if they are my own because I know I’d wish the same for my fur babies if I ever had someone watch over them.

I am mainly free in the early mornings and later evenings! As long as I know the schedule ahead of time I am willing to make anything work for you and your furry friend. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency.

Armani was absolutely wonderful. We hired her to provide extra care to our two cats after one of them returned home from an inpatient ER stay shortly before we went out of town. She was extremely diligent and exceeded expectations in both caring for our cats but also ensuring all was well with our home. She was highly professional and communicative, and we felt very reassured having her provide care while we were away. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her care for our cats again in the future.

Alex did a wonderful job caring for my 14 and 15 year old cats. A few days before my trip, one of my cats developed an eye infection that required both eye drops and oral medication, and he was very accommodating and handled it all with care. Both of my cats pee and poop outside the litter box and he cleaned the floor everyday. He was thorough, reliable, and genuinely caring with my cats. I felt very comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dewalt

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dewalt is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 695 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dewalt. 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
