“Donna is a fantastic pet sitter and friend to animals! She helped me pill my cat Lucy, who is notoriously uncooperative when it comes to taking her medicine. For the first time in Lucy's life, we managed to get a pill down her throat. Goodbye, tapeworms, yaaay! Thank you so much, Donna!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
“Mariah did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! She was very professional and made sure to follow all our instructions to the letter AND one our cats was sick and she provided the medicine as well. We are very happy with her services and we will use her again!”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”
“Johnna was wonderful. She went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, and helped me understand how Rover works. (This was my first Rover booking). She is reliable, detailed, and gives great updates on your pets. I am so relieved to know that there is somebody I can trust to come into my home, and care for my fur babies. I look forward to being able to call on her in the future.”
“Nora did an awesome job taking care of our many cats. She followed instructions perfectly, and our cats were very happy. We would definitely request her again, and we highly recommend her.”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
“Kate did a wonderful job dropping in on our two dogs and helping with walking in the evenings during our week long trip. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well taken care of!”
About: I absolutely love pets! I’ve taken care of all different kinds of cats and dogs for about 15 years and have experience volunteering and fostering with both elderly and newborn pets. Most of my work includes feeding, cleaning, bathing, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care (if needed). I am currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available every day during the week. I don’t have a set schedule with work, but it is very flexible and can be discussed depending on your schedule. I personally have strict rules of keeping my pets inside at night due to frequent coyote sites in my area, and have no problem reigning in your pets if needed as well for whatever reason. I can absolutely bend to my clients rules in whatever means I can to ensure their pets safety.
“Brooklyn has a great spirit and my pup is always excited when I come home to tell me all about her visit. My baby girl gets the best cuddles and energy whenever Brooklyn pays a visit!”
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Riley came to meet us before we left on vacation, which was reassuring. It was nice to know we were in good hands! Riley always spent time with our cat, Lexi, even when Lexi was not being the best company! Riley is dependable and was great with Lexi!”
About: With over 20 years of pet care experience, I pay close attention to the needs of your pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and learned how to care for them from a very young age. I've seen pets at all ages and stages and observe them closely for any abnormal or concerning behavior. Under my care, your babies are my babies, and they receive only the best quality of care! I'm available 6 days a week: Sunday through Thursday from 8am to 9pm and on Fridays from 8am to 6pm. Just let me know when your baby needs attention and I'll be there! I feed your pets at their scheduled meal times if they have it, take them on walks or runs, and give them a simple groom with a comb/brush and clean their ears if requested. I can play with them and have them do commands and tricks if they know them. Happy pets make me happy too! I will also happily provide references that you can call upon request.
About: Hi there, I’m Rose (my profile says Maddison which is my first name, but I go by my middle name “Rose” to clear up any confusion)! Let’s see… I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and had the privilege of caring for my own senior pup until she was 17 years old. That experience taught me so much about patience, understanding and the special care older dogs require. Since 2014, I’ve been independently providing reliable, loving care to dogs, always ensuring they feel safe, respected and deeply loved. Whether it’s gentle walks, meal time, or just companionship, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability to meet your pet care needs! On weekdays, I’m available from 8:30pm to 10:30pm for evening care. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule opens up from 1pm to 7pm , making it perfect for daytime visits and extended care. Additionally, I’m happy to provide overnight sitting from Friday evenings to Sunday afternoons, ensuring your pets are well cared for and comfortable while you’re away. I’m here to help! Safety is always my top priority when caring for your pets. I keep dogs on a leash at all times during walks to ensure they stay secure and under control. I’m also experienced in recognizing and de-escalating tense situations, whether it’s encountering other animals or navigating busy environments. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always take precautions to keep them out of harm’s way.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Jourdan was absolutely amazing! Both of our senior dogs, Winston and Oliver, are declining in health, and one of them became quite sick just before we left for vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure our sick dog ate something, taking the extra time, patience, and care he needed instead of simply rushing through the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being. She also followed all of our care instructions carefully and kept us updated with detailed messages and photos after each visit, which meant so much to us. Caring for aging dogs with health issues isn't always easy, but it never seemed to be a problem for Jourdan. She treated Winston and Oliver with kindness, compassion, and so much love. We came home to two happy dogs and knew they had been in the best possible hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Jourdan to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond. We will absolutely trust her with Winston and Oliver again.
Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caring for a senior dog along with our cat, turtle, bird, and fish is no small task, and she handled it all with incredible attention and care. It was clear from the updates that our pets were not just looked after—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. We especially loved the frequent photos and updates while we were away. They gave us real peace of mind and let us actually enjoy our trip knowing everything at home was in great hands. We came home to calm, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Truly above and beyond—highly recommend.
We adopted our 8-month-old kitties when they were 4 months old. They haven't been around other humans much other than us so I was concerned that they would be fearful of a cat sitter. Johnna was an excellent choice for us and them. She sent playful pictures and good notes. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands with her. I am so grateful.
We had the pleasure of having Kendra do drop in visits for our cat, who requires multiple medications, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She went above and beyond in ensuring our cat’s needs were met, was incredibly responsive, and followed all the instructions to a T. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Levi was absolutely wonderful to work with! So kind, friendly, and easygoing—we felt completely comfortable leaving all our pets in Levi’s care. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates of our pet family while we were traveling were such a thoughtful touch. Two thumbs up for Levi, who truly does an outstanding job. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fair Oaks on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,936 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fair Oaks. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fair Oaks. On Rover:

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.
