“We booked Alexis for drop in visits for our 13 year old cat Chloe for a week. This is the first time we’ve booked outside of family or friends so we were a little nervous. After meeting Alexis I immediately felt comfortable. Her daily updates with pictures were great! And looking at the pictures, I could tell Chloe was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Alexis again,”

“Cat review! ? Lauren was fabulous! We have an anxious cat with special dietary needs. Lauren was very attentative and stayed over night to keep him company. She sent photos every day with updates and was always responsive. If you're looking for someone who understands cats, look no further. We will absolutely use Lauren the next time we are out of town.”

“We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!”

“Brenda is a trustworthy and genuine pet sitter! She came through for me on short notice and made time to care for my cat around her own work schedule. She checked in daily, kept me updated when she arrived, and sent photos, which really put me at ease. She didn’t just drop by—she spent quality time playing with him, too. Even during a bad storm, Brenda made sure he had extra food and water in case the power went out and the autofeeder failed. As someone who’s usually skeptical about letting others into my home, I can honestly say I’d highly recommend Brenda. She's reliable, caring, and went above and beyond.”

About: **My Dog Care Experience 🐶🐾** Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs began in second grade when I got my first dog, and that love has continued to grow ever since. I’m now the proud pet parent of my own dog of 7 years, who is very loved, spoiled, and pampered! I know firsthand that dogs are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for and watching multiple dogs at a time. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and timely care while making sure each dog receives the attention they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or sticking to a specific routine, I understand how important consistency and individualized care are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know that leaving your furry family member with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting endless belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’m happy to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible! Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️🐕 **Pet Care That Fits My Schedule 🐾** I currently have a busy weekday schedule, but I’m happy to dedicate my available time to caring for your furry family members! I’m available on weekends, Tuesdays after 6:00 PM, and Fridays after 5:00 PM. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for both of us. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while ensuring your pet’s routine and comfort remain a priority! I provide attentive, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other agreed-upon care needs. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family! I have my own dog of seven years who is very loved and pampered, and I treat every pet in my care with that same level of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication with pet parents, including updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make sure every pet receives reliable, individualized care and plenty of love while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for years and am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. Families rely on me to maintain feeding schedules, reinforce basic training, manage high-energy play, and provide attentive senior support. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication so owners feel fully confident their pets and homes are in responsible hands. I work from home, which allows me significant flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I service areas within approximately 20 minutes of 15237 and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I do have a standing commitment at the barn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and once over the weekend, but I build pet care schedules around that to ensure animals are never left longer than agreed upon. Communication and planning are always prioritized. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-safe environment whether I’m in a client’s home or hosting in mine. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and behavioral guidelines carefully. I studied basic veterinary care, so I am comfortable monitoring health changes, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and clear communication.

About: I’m your cat’s favorite drop-in human. I’ll take care of the essentials (food, water, scoop), stick to your routine, and give your cat the kind of attention they want: playtime, affection, or calm company. Every visit includes photo/video updates and a short, unique summary. I am currently working remotely, and out and about a lot on my way to one of my many activities. I am available for flexible drop-in visit windows throughout the day or week, depending on what's needed. I primarily provide drop-in visits but am open to an overnight once a healthy and happy relationship is established. I do not provide boarding at my residence.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my entire life, along with horses, reptiles, and birds. I spent several years working for a pet care business, worked in customer care for a holistic pet store, have house-sat through Rover, and have boarded animals for friends. I recently lived with 3 German Shepherds, a Husky, and a two cats. I can handle animals of all energy levels. I am always taking care of animals! I have a dog of my own and often look after my friends’ and family’s pets. I have a flexible schedule so I always try to be there when people need me. Always cautious, ready to respect what an animal expects and needs, and more than happy to give them all the love and play, play, play

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and over the years I've had the chance to care for both dogs and cats for family. I've watched my girlfriend's family's three senior cats (now 15, 14, and 21 years old) several times while they've been out of town, making sure they're fed, have fresh water, and keeping their litter boxes clean. Caring for a 21-year-old cat has taught me how important patience and consistency are with senior pets. I've also cared for my brothers' dogs—a 5-year-old Siberian Husky and a 7-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix—sometimes for several days at a time. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm comfortable with high-energy dogs as well as older cats and always treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently a full-time student finishing my last semester of college while working part time as a digital forensics intern. During the summer, my internship is Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and I'm available for pet care anytime after my internship each day. Once the fall semester begins, my internship is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 4:00 p.m. I'm also available most evenings and weekends, so I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around you and your pet's needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and boundaries, so I never force attention or affection if they are not comfortable. I believe pets should be able to approach and interact on their own terms. I make sure their needs are met through feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of patience. I always follow the owner's instructions and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for years and regularly watch friends’ pups. I’m genuinely loving, attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like family! I work from home the majority of the week, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m also always out exploring with my own dog, so I’d love to bring your pup along for walks and adventures when appropriate! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! Our home has two friendly cats, our own dog, and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. The yard is always used on a lead. I will treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home!

Katelyn took the time to come meet my fur babies ahead of time to make sure they took to her (spoiler: they did!). Even the shy one made peace with her. She kept me up-to-date with photos and comments all along, and spent some time playing with them every day. This was my first time using Rover, and Katelyn made an excellent first impression!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Emsworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Emsworth is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 416 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Emsworth. 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 Emsworth. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 86% 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.
