Cathy took great care of my cats! She was amazing with them. They immediately felt comfortable with her which doesn’t always happen with my cats. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. 100% recommend!

Amy is wonderful! She did drop in visits for my two dogs while I was on vacation for 2 weeks. I could tell my dogs liked having her around from the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely be requesting her pet services in the future!

About: Hi! I’m Eliza, I recently finished grad school at VCU and am doing some freelance creative work currently, so I have a very flexible and available schedule to help with your pets! I've loved animals my whole life and have grown up with dogs. When I was younger, I helped raise and train one of our dogs from puppyhood, where I learned how to care for a dog's daily needs. Four years ago, I adopted my first cat, and caring for her has given me plenty of experience with feline care as well. Whether it's walking dogs, dropping in for feedings, playing with energetic pets, scooping litter and refreshing water, or just keeping pets company, I'll care for your animals as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I am post grad school and currently doing freelance work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am very free in the afternoons typically. I will take extreme care in caution when in people’s homes. As someone who has used this as well for my own cat, I understand the fear with letting people in your home. I can assure you I will treat your home with the same respect I would want my own.

Alyssa was a great pet sitter! She took care of my indoor cat for two weeks. She met him beforehand and he warmed up to her quickly. She listened to and followed all instructions. Alyssa was also very easy to work with and responsive to messages. She shared great pictures of him daily, which we really appreciated. She played with him, brushed him, and feed him (and cleaned up one spit up). She clearly has a great connection to pets and I highly recommend her.

You are not going to find a better dog sitter/walker than Amanda. The boys absolutely adore her and she is sooo good with them. She is incredibly flexible and accommodating of my chaotic life when it comes to scheduling. In fact, she has saved my butt on multiple occasions. Additionally, she proactively goes above and beyond. During this most recent visit, I warned her that I had run out of poop bags so she needed to watch her step. Amanda, being the caring puppy sitter that she is, surveyed the whole yard and picked up all of the stray puppy piles. I dare you to find another pet sitter willing to do that! Anyways, she's great!

We had a wonderful experience using Mary for our indoor/outdoor cat’s first experience with a pet sitter. Mary was very flexible adjusting visits when our cat was too nervous to go outside the first few days, and our cat loved Mary by the end of the week!

Harlee is a fantastic pet sitter! She watched our two cats for 10 days. She came twice a day to administer medication for our senior cat and was always great about arriving on time and sending photo updates. Her care for our cats brought us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. She even watered my bonsai plant (thank you!). We wouldn't hesitate to book Harlee again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dumbarton on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,217 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dumbarton. 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 Dumbarton. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
