“Emily was wonderful with our pup as always! Our other pet sitter canceled on us the day before our travels and Emily stepped up to help with drop-in last minute. She is always so communicative and provides great updates while we're away. It's a relief to know that she's taking care of him.”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Monique and family were great! Always on time as requested. They didn't just come to the house and feed our 5 dogs they actually took time with our dogs. Definitely recommend them to anybody!”
“Indiana was fantastic. I needed a sitter last minute and so thankful Indiana was available. I could trust her with my two fur babies and in my home. She took pictures during her visits so I could see they were happy and well cared for when I was away. Your fur babies are in good hands!”
“Jessica has dropped by on my pupsters on two separate occasions, and I would trust her anytime I need some help. She always provides adorable updates and is communicative. The pups have a great time with her. I will book Jessica everytime if she's available!”
“Kayce communicated very well with me and took such good care of Tucker! She was prompt and on time with her visits and ensured to keep him busy the entire time she was there. I received many pictures that helped reassure me he was in great hands! We will definitely have Kayce come back in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your fur baby company. Being able to care for them doesn’t feel like a job—it feels like spending time with some of the most pure and loving souls. I am currently full time military but I have no problem making time for the fur babies specially on the weekends! I am willing to work with you if you can work with me. I currently have no pets but I care for animals in your home as well as make sure your home is the way you left it and with your fur baby/babies there and happy.
About: Growing up I always wanted a dog and so one day my father actually brought a friend's dog home for a week stay but we soon found out we would get to keep him. He was a Jack Russell/Terrier Mix and his name was Mumuz. Unfortunately due to old age and many more health complications my parents decided to let him rest in peace. Not too soon before that I decided to adopt a dog of my own. Chief is his name and he's a handsome black lab who's just a sweet gentleman. He's my child and he's the best decision I ever made. So over the years I've learned to take care of dogs mostly and I did cat sit for my neighbor's cat,April, and I would administer insulin for April's diabetes and I would cat sit her next cat who was disabled with only three legs until my neighbor sadly passed away. My love for animals runs deep and I want to help other pet lovers have a reliable sitter that they can trust to watch their child because all animals are really are children. But I am about to start the Spring semester at a local college to earn my associates degree in veterinary medicine and then eventually work at a vet clinic or hospital. So I may be young but my love for animals has never stopped growing. That's why you should choose me because I love animals, working towards the veterinary medicine field, energetic, outgoing, very understanding, and great communication. I do currently work at a private doctors office Monday-Thursday but always willing to drive back and forth and am hoping to use Rover to make a little bit of extra money until I complete my associates degree and get a job in the veterinary medicine field. I generally will ask the client about the pet's food and eating schedule first to make sure of any specifications needed. If the owner has a fence I will mainly be outside playing with the dog(s) to help get out any of that extra energy they may have. If the client permits I love to take the animal on a car ride unless the animal is scared of car rides. If so I would walk to a local park to still get out the extra energy. When getting back to the house fill up the water bowl as soon as possible if not filled already so the dog(s) can be hydrated after a good workout. Finally a little bit of cuddle time to show affection and give comfort to the animal when their owner is not there. And always take potty breaks every 2-3 hours especially right before bed so that the dog(s) can get some rest until they have to go out again.
About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing a safe, attentive, and comfortable environment for pets. I am currently going to college and have too much time on my hands. What better time to spend my free time than with your pups. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having been around dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I always ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I believe strong communication, reliability, and genuine compassion help build trust with both pets and their owners, allowing every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my care.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I am 22 now. I consider dogs to be one of the many keys to happiness so I treat them as such. Whether that be long walks in the neighborhood, endless cuddles, or a friend to play with, they get what they need. I have never discriminated against a dog based on size or breed because all dogs deserve love and care no matter what. I take care of my dogs to the best of my ability so I will always do the same for others. You can be assured that they are in good hands. So if you need someone to love and care for your dog when you're not there I'm your girl! I am currently the primary care taker for my family dog, Raine. This includes walks 2x day, feedings, bath, etc. I ensure he takes his medicine, has lots of play time and clean bedding. I do not currently care for other dogs in my home. However, in my client’s home I ensure that the space is clear and void of anything that could bring harm to their pets. I make sure to regularly check up on them and listen to their needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ettrick
Emily was fantastic! Her updates were thorough, thoughtful, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away from our babies. She was attentive, punctual, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well cared for. It made such a difference knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
I HIGHLY recommend booking with Emily, she was a god-sent! Emily quickly replied to my request; was very thorough and mindful when discussing Luna's needs; responded within a timely manner AND follows through with her "Personalized Pet Companionship" motto. Not only was this my first time using Rover, it was my first time leaving my fur-baby behind and Emily soothed my nerves and anxiety every step of the way. With every visit I received multiple photo updates and a full report of the visit- food & water intake, play time, cuddle time, the full works, etc. And when little things needed to be added to the visit or Luna's routine, Emily did not hesitate to provide. I would definitely rebook with Emily whenever a cat-sitter is needed again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,228 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ettrick. 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.

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.
