About: Hello Community, my name is Bridget I'm a Kansas State Alum with a degree in Animal Science. I'm a full time Veterinary Assistant and a big-time animal lover. I love caring for pets and meeting the variety of personalities they have to offer. I enjoy strolling in the park and taking fur babies on car rides. I love finding ways to help my community and caring for your fur babies like my own. Pet care is my current side job alongside my full-time job as a veterinary assistant. I am finding new ways to help my community while saving up for my veterinary school journey. I can care for your pets in your home by helping with everyday tasks such as feeding, walking 15-30 mins, and grooming if necessary. Trimming nails or cleaning ears if deemed necessary.

About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my life. I grew up around farm animals and have owned and cared for dogs ranging in size from a Toy Poodle to a Great Dane. I also raised a puppy through the Leader Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising program in Michigan and have experience training dogs in both obedience and agility. I previously worked as a veterinary assistant at two veterinary clinics, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with a wide variety of personalities, ages and needs. I especially love learning about canine behavior and training and am always reading and continuing to learn. I’m currently working with my daughter as she learns about showing dogs with the goal of becoming an AKC Junior Handler. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine, and I prioritize safety, communication and making pets feel comfortable while their people are away. I’m happy to provide photos and updates during every visit. I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to provide walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, making me a great fit for pets who need a midday walk, potty break, meal, medication, playtime or companionship while their owners are at work or away. I also offer evening and weekend availability when my schedule allows and am happy to discuss recurring weekly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my first priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s normal routine, temperament, handling preferences and any special instructions before providing care. During visits, I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes and other potential safety concerns and will always follow your care instructions closely. My previous experience working as a veterinary assistant has made me particularly observant of changes in an animal’s behavior or well-being. I also understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home and will treat your home, privacy and belongings with respect. I provide dependable communication and am happy to send photos and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 40 years. I work from home, so I am always available for your precious pets! I also have a half an acre, fully gated yard-for plenty of space to roam! I am great with dogs, and also the Purrfect Cat Sitter! I work from home, so that allows me the flexibility to have extra daytime snuggles. I have always been great with animals, so a Sitter spot on Rover is totally a perfect fit for me! My home is gated around the half acre perimeter, and very pet friendly. If away with a client in their home- I make sure the animals have ample space to get to know me on their terms, as often they might be sad to be in the care of someone other than their #1's. I believe their comfort and safety is most important, so I strive to be their favorite substitute!

About: Hi, my name is Kathleen, and I am an experienced pet care handler. I have cared for dogs and cats of all various sizes and behaviors. A few examples of dogs I've worked with are corgis, pitbulls, and great pyrenees. I can handle most breeds and have worked with shy dogs, protective dogs, and highly energetic dogs. For the last 3 years, I have also volunteered as a dog walker for an animal shelter. I feel comfortable around most types of dogs and cats, and I would love to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently have 2 cats of my own while living in KC for Grad school. I am mature, energetic, reliable, dependable, and, most importantly, sensitive to the unique needs of our furry babies. I'm currently in grad school and looking to fit this into my schedule. I'm available most mornings, 6 am to 8 am, and in the afternoon, after 4:30 pm for dog walking. I do have lunch breaks where I can do a drop-in and check on your furry baby. I am available weekends for walking, drop-in, or house sitting. I want to assure animals in my care will feel comfortable, loved, and safe. During visits and/or walks, I will always have my attention focused on your pet and will immediately remove them from any dangerous situation right away. I want them to be happy going on walks and getting to spend time out in nature.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and grew up working on a farm, so I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and understand the responsibility that comes with proper animal care. I currently own two Persian cats myself, so I’m familiar with higher-maintenance grooming needs, sensitive pets, and paying close attention to an animal’s comfort, behavior, and routine. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, and other animals of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets and anxious animals that need extra patience. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured that their pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I’m able to work around feeding schedules, playtime, walks, check-ins, and giving pets companionship so they stay comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very routine-oriented and understand how important consistency is for animals, especially cats and pets that may need extra patience or attention. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. During visits, I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, medications, routines, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I also value communication and will provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: As a proud dog mom to a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs!

Having two large dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much it means to see your babies happy while you’re away! I work in marketing and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a dog mom to two pups of my own, walks, playtime, and plenty of love are already part of my everyday life. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as weekends, depending on availability. I know how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, so I’ll always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite humans are away! Since I offer care in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while respecting their boundaries.

“Lindsay did a fantastic job looking after my two kitties, one of which needs insulin shots twice a day! Her communication was impeccable, which gave me peace of mind during my long 20 day absence. She was also quick to reach out for instruction & helpful in suggesting solutions when a couple of issues came up around the home that needed attention. Lindsay is reliable, friendly & trustworthy. I recommend her 100% & will definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Nathan is terrific! His care for my Pastis went above and beyond. My return home included being greeted by a well cared for fur angel, and a walk into a totally clean home. Litter was swept up, trash was taken out, dishes were cleaned. Nathan checked in at agreed upon times with pictures and assurances that all was well. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for his professionalism and personal care for my furry companion. This first visit will turn into more. Two thumbs up!”

About: I love all animals as long as they have 4 legs. I will take care of your babies as you have done. I will always keep you in contact with how your babies are doing and send you pictures anytime you need them. I have a flexible available schedule. I just ask for a notice as soon as possible so that I can be available for you. I love animals I love dogs and cats. I am currently going to school which is all online this makes my schedule open. I have baby gates around my house so that if my dogs start becoming very mean towards the cats, the cats have a place to run. I always make sure to stay calm with the dogs in any situation. I personally turn music on and it's mainly calm sleepy music like Enya or sleep jazz music on YouTube.

Thanks so much to Amanda for taking such good care of my two little ones while I was away at MD Anderson this week. It meant a great deal to me to know they were in such caring and capable hands during a stressful time. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved when I got home. My family and I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the care she gave our sweeties.

We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Edwardsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Edwardsville is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $23 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 400 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Edwardsville. 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 Edwardsville. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
