“Kejda was great and so good with our puppy! I felt comfortable and trusted her with her and Roxie had a great time. 10/10 would recommend & have her watch our animals again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10. I’ve always treated pets like family and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and patience. I’m also comfortable caring for energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m comfortable building my day around a pet’s individual routine and making sure they don’t feel rushed or overlooked. Whether that means a morning walk, midday check-in, some playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. I keep a clean and calm environment, follow their normal feeding and bathroom routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their individual comfort level. Whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer to relax and stay close to me, I want them to feel like they’re in a home where they’re genuinely cared for.

“Briona did a great job with a drop in visit for our dog! She sent a bunch of pictures and remembered our dog care instructions from her prior visit. We came home to a happy dog :)”

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: A forever-friend of animals and pets of all sizes. Experienced, friendly, reliable and flexible. Looking forward to meeting your pets and providing care and companionship for your loved ones. I am pursuing a degree part-time and have a flexible work schedule. I am centrally located in Middletown, CT and am willing to drive within about an hour of there to provide care. I like connecting with you and your pet before sitting to develop rapport and to get an understanding of their routines. I like to mirror the way you provide a safe environment for them within your home. This offers a sense of consistency and calm in what may sometimes feel like a stress-inducing situation for your animal. Their safety and health are the priority while they are under my care.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.
“Jenny is super communicative and really great at paying attention to small care details like medication. She’s really great with my cat Fiona, who absolutely is a creature with boundaries. Will have her back any time!”

“Veronica did a great job taking care of our cat Cheese! We came back to a healthy happy kitty and knowing we had someone we could trust gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”


“This was our second time using Rover for our Ragdoll boys, and the first time using our pet sitter, Patricia. Rover is a great way to find caring, reliable and safe sitters. Patricia was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our boys. She came every day promptly and sent us pics and 'messages' from them, even on Christmas day! We also needed a last minute day add-on, and she graciously accepted. We would definitely use Patricia again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Patricia & Rover! 😻”

“I cannot recommend Isabella enough as a petsitter. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat's needs were met. She's a sweet and caring pet sitter. She's trustworthy and reliable. Our cat needed to take medication and Bella was very receptive and quick to learn what she needed to do in order for our cat to be well. She also helped with any other small favors and tasks we requested. Her communication about her visits was excellent, she made us feel like we left our cat in the best possible hands. Our cat tends to be very shy but he immediately opened up to Bella, if you need someone to look after your cats look no further, they will be in the best hands with Isabella.”

“Shannon did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained and gave very attentive care to him. She was prompt and reliable the entire time. And my cat loved to have her around! Will definitely book her again!”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own—Venus, Ivy, and Floki. Floki is a Maine Coon, giving me experience caring for larger felines with big personalities! I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that means playtime, cuddles, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I love hiking, thrifting, scary movies, and spending time with friends and family. I am currently a counseling intern, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 One of the benefits of being a graduate counseling intern is having a flexible schedule! I currently have full-day availability Friday through Monday and additional flexibility Tuesday through Thursday, allowing me to be available when your pets need care, attention, and companionship. My schedule makes it easy to provide consistent visits and reliable care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while respecting your pet’s routine and individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm presence around, I am committed to creating a safe and positive experience. I will care for your pets with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“We are so incredibly happy we found Yareisy to care for our kitty Bodhi! Being away from him is always hard, especially since he needs medication twice a day, can get spicy at times and is still grieving months after losing his brother. We really appreciated receiving plenty of photos and detailed updates every day while we were away. We came home to the sweetest personalized card and a little cat-themed gift, which was such a thoughtful surprise!😻 It truly made us smile and shows the type of person she is. We are definitely booking her again for future stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, thoughtful cat sitter. Thank you so much Yareisy! Wish we found you sooner. You’re a gem🫶🏼”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs! As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary. I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.
“Isabel was amazing, she was consistent and was great at communicating. Isabel goes above and beyond checking on your beloved pet, she even tidys up, sweeps etc in which was not required to do. I so appreciated the wonderful care and attention she gave my Seamus.”

“Julianna took the best of care of my shy cat, Nina. She was responsible, dependable, and loving. Nina did not hide when Julianna came in, she embraced and welcomed her with love. This was an enormous relief given I was out of the country. Julianna removed all worry and anxiety.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,332 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Durham. 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 .
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 , 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
