Jill was WONDERFUL!! So nice to be able to have the puppers/kitties stay at home and not be worried the entire time we were away. Jill sent lots of pictures and updates and even cleaned the cat litterbox which was unexpected, but certainly appreciated!! I would use Jill again in a heartbeat...the dogs miss her already!

Griffin was great! He helped Momo when we needed a sitter last minute. He asked thoughtful questions and really hit it off with Momo during their meet and greet. 10/10 would recommend as a sitter and we’re looking forward to scheduling more visits!

Amber is amazing! I truly cannot thank her enough for how great she was taking care of my cat, Beans. He was pretty stressed when I left for vacation for a week and he wasn’t eating. After a few days, Amber took him to the vet and got him the care he needed. She is excellent with updates and communication. You can tell how much she cares. She really goes above and beyond expectations. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommending her!

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after a wide variety of dogs—from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to strong Pit Bulls and gentle Great Danes. I’m passionate about providing personalized, loving attention to each furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I know more than anyone that these are not merely pets, but family and friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! Hello, I currently work during the day as an office manager at a local advertising agency. My schedule is hybrid - I work form home Mondays and Fridays, so I am very flexible. I currently live in a cozy one bedroom apartment in the McKinley Heights negihborhood. There is both a front and backyard in my building but I also often walk to Lafayette Square, which is nearby.

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life - from my own to those of neighbors and family friends. I am able to care for young puppies to those of a more senior age. I work at a restaurant so have a somewhat flexible schedule. I can do drop ins, overnights, and walks. I would love to help your pet get the care they need! I care for each and every pet like they are my own. First and foremost I will prioritize their safety, and your wishes as the pet parent!

Alex was outstanding! She is professional, dependable, and an excellent communicator. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat during each drop-in visit and consistently provided timely updates and photos so I always knew they were doing well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter through Rover.

Also had some last minute travel changes and was easy to contact and flexible which was appreciated. Would work again with Niah!

Jamie was really nice. She played with my kitties and even fed and watered the outdoor feral cat that come up. She was on time and always sent photos of my cats even the one who is timid and was always hiding under the bed and gave him treats. My other kitty looked forward to her coming over. I would recommend her as a pet sitter

About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I have a ton of experience with animals of all types. I am a stay at home mom, so I have open availability! My daughter has grown up around dogs and cats and even farm animals so she knows boundaries very well and is very respectful of animals. We would love to keep your fur babies! Just send me a message and we will see if I’m the right fit for your furry family member ☺️ We’ve recently moved to Collinsville and we have a huge backyard with a privacy fenced in yard! There’s tons of room for your dog to run around and there’s no fear in them escaping. When dogs are let outside I monitor them the entire time and stay outside with them to make sure they are safe! I care for other pets as if they were my own. I make sure they keep to their daily and night time schedules and I make sure each and every animal is loved on and cared for!

About: I've loved dogs and cats since a young age. As I've grown older, my responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playing and even cleaning up after of various breeds of dogs and cats. I am capable of providing medication and other special care for your pets. I believe pets are family and I will treat your animals as my family. I am a kind, caring individual who will go above and beyond for your furbaby. At this time, I have a full time job, Hence house-sitting for low maintenance animals is primarily what I can provide. I look forward to helping you out Unfortunately, my current living situation prevents me from accommodatimg more dogs or cats. Although, animals in aquariums are welcome and will be treated with love.

Kelly was so great with our anxious dog. She reassured me throughout the visit (and before haha). She took things slow with our dog and gave him his space. We are thankful to have her stop by on a weekly basis. Kelly also communicates very quickly and has good availability on her schedule!

About: Hi, I'm Emma! By day, I’m a geologist working in brewing operations, but on the weekends, my focus is entirely on providing attentive care for your pets. My professional background means I am incredibly detail-oriented, reliable, and strictly adhere to schedules and routines. My love for animals goes beyond standard pet sitting. I have experience volunteering at The Creature Conservancy in Ann Arbor, MI, where I learned all about animal welfare, and I spent my years in grad school learning about human impacts on urban ecosystems. I also have a deep empathy for rescues and medical care. I personally rescued and successfully nursed my own street cat back to full health, so I am no stranger to administering specialized care, monitoring health cues, and giving extra patience to timid or sensitive animals. I also grew up with sweet rescue dogs- one miniature pinscher, and one Labrador/pitbull mix! Because I work a structured schedule during the week, my weekends are completely dedicated to making sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or gentle, attentive companionship, I'm here to treat them like my own! My schedule allows me to offer dedicated cat care primarily on weekends and Mondays, which are my most flexible days for extended visits and playtime. Additionally, I am available for some early morning/evening drop-ins during the week to make sure your cats are fed, scooped, and loved before the workday begins. Because I maintain a consistent routine, you can count on me to arrive reliably at the specific times your cat expects their meals or medication. Safety and trust are my top priorities when entering your home. As a cat owner who has managed medical recovery, I am hyper-vigilant about environmental safety, including double-checking that windows and doors are securely shut, and ensuring all hazardous items are well out of reach. I respect that cats are territorial, so I focus on keeping their environment calm, clean, and consistent. I will provide detailed daily updates and photos so you have total peace of mind that your home is secure and your cat is thriving.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,255 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fairmont City. 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 Fairmont City. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
