“Cari was a life saver and booked my babies a day before! I am so thankful she was able to give them a potty break on such short notice. She did amazing with our two dogs and one foster who can be shy of people. 100% recommend. Thank you Cari!”
“Patten was a God send, since I had to pull last minute shifts with the wife being away for work. Daisy took to her so well and she really made sure to keep Daisy company and not just feed her take her out and leave for the day. She truly cared enough to play with Daisy and make sure that she ate all her food before she would take her out. Again cannot be more grateful how helpful and caring she was to Daisy.”
“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”
“Lauren was great. We went out of town for 2 days and she communicated at every step. We have a new dog who requires medication, on short notice and there were no issues. Will be using her help in the future.”
“I've been with Rover for over a decade and have been on both sides--needing pet care and giving pet care. Deann sets a new standard for care, communication, dependability, knowledge, and being a joy to work with. She was exceptional in every definition. I will be a regular with her!”
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”
“Did a fantastic job maintained contact for any questions that needed to be answered and sent great pictures and took initiative to do some small clean up. Would definitely recommend Emma with my highest respect.”
“Heather continues to do a wonderful job! She is prompt and professional--it's clear that Blue loves her and we know that she is in good hands during the daily check-ins!”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Lindsey is extremely kind, prompt and very meticulous about her work with animals. Our dogs both enjoyed their time with her, especially our boy Max who was treated to a walk to his favorite location in Martinsburg. We are looking forward to future visits with Lindsey, and would definitely recommend her. 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Autumn. Over my life, I have owned and cared for 13 dogs, along with a collection of reptiles, rodents, etc. I currently have a dog and a cat. They are the loves of my life. I also completed my internship at an animal shelter, giving me experience with hundreds of animals. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience working with a wide array of animals. I would love the opportunity to work with your pets! My life revolves around pet care. I have animals with very specific care needs, so I am used to matching my lifestyle with what my pets need. My dog is currently walked 4-5 times a day, with 2 or 3 play sessions interspersed throughout the day. We take him to the park every Saturday and his nails are trimmed every other Sunday. My cat gets 2 or 3 15 minute play sessions during the day, and her litter box is scooped nightly. She is given dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening. The care provided for my clients will revolve around what the client wants and the specific needs of the individuals. Every animal is different, and I strive to provide the care that is requested.
About: I never had a dog of my own growing up, but I always had a blast watching animals for my family and friends! Taking dogs on walks and simply playing with them is so much fun. I love to be able to bond with pets and really get to know them. I’m not a professional dog trainer, however I’ve attempted to crate train and teach other simple tricks to dogs and was successful. I have experience with senior dogs as well as high energy puppies. I am able to adapt to any dogs personality to ensure they have a great time while their owner is away! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I am currently available full time, Monday-Sunday. I make sure to set aside time for walks, feeding, and playtime with the pets I care for. I also ensure they have regular check-ins and any necessary medication or grooming is done on time. I prioritize their needs around my other commitments, and I’m always flexible to adjust my schedule to accommodate their care. I am not currently able to have pets in my home, however I can travel to your home if dog sitting or an overnight stay is needed!
About: Though I've never had my own dog, I have always adored taking care of my loved ones' canine friends! From pitbulls to pugs and everything in-between, I am a reliable and dedicated caretaker for your pups :) I am on a break from full-time employment this summer so I can accommodate many bookings at various times thanks to my expanded availability. I am unable to care for pets in my own home but am willing to go to yours. Once you walk me through the care plan for your specific pet(s), I'm confident that they will be in good hands with me!
About: I have taken several jobs as a pet sitter ranging from lizards to dogs. I have several cats and dogs of my own. I have previously done overnight stays with puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with puppies, shelter babies, cats, etc. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter in my spare time where I have gotten used to all different dog and cat breeds. I have experience giving medication’s to cats and dogs. Over the years I have learned cats and dogs, body language very well and understand animals a lot. I am currently in nursing school at a local college. I have plenty of spare time throughout the day to stop by and check on your babies! I enjoy watching animals in their own humble abode. I find they have an easier time adjusting to a new person rather than a new person and a new home. I spend as much time as possible at the house with the animals so they are not lonely and I follow instructions to a tee.
About: I've taken care of all types of animals. Iguanas, turtles, rats, dogs and cats and more. I've very passionate about animals and ensuring they are cared for properly. I work from home. I have a dog and two cats. They are my work buddies throughout the day. Love walking and taking my dog for walks around town during work breaks. I have a very flexible schedule and can make time for any extra care needed. I have a fenced yard for dogs to play in.
“Leslie did a wonderful job yet again! She always goes above and beyond. We are so glad to have found an awesome sitter in the area, I very strongly recommend Leslie’s pet sitting service!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for my own dog, Harley, an Australian Cattle Dog. I understand the importance of exercise, routine, and safety during walks. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels and always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I’m committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience. I currently work Monday-Friday 7am-4pm. I have a lot of extra time in the evening and weekends. I’m looking forward to spending that time with all the sweet fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Downsville. 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 Downsville. On Rover:

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.
