I can confidently recommend Ella to Rover customers. I know you will feel lucky to have found her too!”

About: I have been my friends and some families go to house and pet sitter for a very long time. While I mostly have experience with cats and dogs I like to take care of all pets. I like to take pictures to catch the funny moments. While I am in school this give good flexibility for dropins/walking and overnight stays letting me easily fit into you and your pets schedule. While I can't take care of your pet in my home, I can do house sitting and dropins/walks. I am familiar with complex nutrition requirements for different animals as well.
“Sage is a wonderful sitter. She watched my cats for 10 days—every day I received a wonderful story about what she did with them. I can tell they were in good hands.”
“So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!”
“Mallory took amazing care of my older cat Dobby! He adored her and our home was very tidy upon return. Mallory was very communicative and dependable. We would absolutely book again.”
“Courtney was wonderful! She took great care of each of our two cats, who have very different personalities, giving them each plenty of attention. The updates she provided after each check-in were very thoughtful, and we loved viewing the photos. We would love to have her take care of our kitties again!”
“Josh was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, responsible and reliable. Great communicator with humans and animals alike (lots of fun photos while we were away). He looked after our two cats for 4 days and we couldn't have been happier. When we returned home our cats were calm, well-fed and happy - food dishes were washed and litter box area was tidy. Josh will be my first choice from now on when we have to leave our cats next time.”
“Bailey did a wonderful job with our shy kitty. I do believe she is a cat whisperer! She is very reliable , courteous and kept me very well informed. I will definitely use her again to care for my kitty!”
About: I live in the heart of Essex Junction and am always out walking with my dogs! I love dogs of all sizes and age :) I'd love to come check in on your pets when you travel, let them out during the workday if you can't be around, and walk them during my free time! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to accept same-day bookings if something urgent comes up. I'd love to let your pets outside, give them some extra attention inside if they just need a little love while you're away, and I'm also happy to let pets stay with me assuming they are friendly with other dogs (I have one 8lb dog and one 60lb hound who is very gentle). I'm also happy to check in on cats or any other animals you have in your home (we also have a gecko in our house!). I work full time from home, so I am always home with my dogs. I let them out and feed them first thing in the morning, and try to get them out for a long walk in the middle of the day when the weather is nice (my little one refuses to get her paws wet or muddy). The more time in the sun, the better! I have a partially fenced in yard but leash dogs if I'm watching a family member's dog who isn't used to the area. I always have eyes on my little one so she doesn't sneak through the gaps in the fence. Anyone who trusts me with their pet's care can rest assured their safety is my top priority - I'm something of a helicopter dog mom
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of animals with different needs, personalities, and routines. I also work at a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with animal care, including administering medications. My veterinary experience helps me provide attentive, knowledgeable care for puppies, seniors, and pets requiring extra support. I work during the week, but I love spending my weekends caring for pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule and gives me the opportunity to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while providing pets with loving, attentive care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Before starting, I like to meet the pet and visit the client’s home to learn their schedule, habits, feeding instructions, and preferences. I then make a specific plan to fit their routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.

Taite took such good care of our kitties! We had such peace of mind knowing Taite was looking after them while we were away. She was responsive and communicative. Our very skittish cat was so comfortable with her, even letting her pet him. Thanks for helping him get out of his shell.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Essex Junction on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
