“Jill does such a great job with our zoo! 10 cats, all with different feeders, two that need isolated, and 1 that needs medication. It is such a relief that we can leave for a trip and know that our kitties are well looked after! Highly recommend!!!”

“Mae was extremely communicative and definitely went above and beyond when caring for my three kitties! They fed, played with, and made sure boxes were clean for my babies. My cats looked very happy in the photos they sent, which was much appreciated. I would definitely book again!”

“Caitlin is fantastic! I never worry about my pet when Caitlin watches him. She has come to my home for multiple day overnights twice, and I am rebooking her again. It means a great deal to me that my pet gets a lot of love and attention when I’m away.”

About: I've had cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can bathe dogs and administer meds to both dogs and cats. Ive also had birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and a tortoise. I am fully devoted to taking care of animals fir the time being. My schedule is flexible. I understand plans come up last minute so short notice shouldn't be a problem! I am very interactive with animals as I believe this is how they feel loved. I will tend to any special needs they may have!

“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”

“We had a great first experience using Rover with Nicole as our pet sitter! Our kitten, Paris, stayed with her for four days and was clearly happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We’re so glad we chose Nicole—definitely a great choice for us!”

“Amber did an amazing job taking care of our five cats! We have some scaredy cats and some more growly ones and she respected each of their boundaries. We came home to very happy cats. She also handled giving one of our more growly cats a pill each day with no issues. Very happy with Amber as a cat sitter and would recommend using her!”

“Sheldyn was an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly recommend her! Before watching our dogs, she took the time to meet with them and really understand their personalities, routines, and the care they needed. She was incredibly flexible with their schedules and treated both of our dogs with so much care and attention. We loved receiving regular updates about how they were doing, and she was always quick to let us know if she noticed anything that might be a concern. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our dogs, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Best of all, our dogs were always excited to see her and ready to play whenever she arrived! Sheldyn is kind, dependable, animal-friendly, and someone we would absolutely trust with our dogs again. 🐾❤️”

“Morgan was amazing dropping in and checking on Steve. She went above and beyond and made sure Steve was living in luxury and had enough water and more importantly food (Steve’s favourite thing in the world). She also made sure to clean her litter box and sent me pictures everyday. Would highly recommend and would definitely ask Morgan to check in on Steve in the future. Thanks so much!”

About: I've cared for cats on-and-off as an adult for the last 8 years. I grew up with cats as family pets, so caring for them feels like second-nature! I tend to be my friends' go-to person for cat sitting and house-sitting. I don't mind spending the day or staying overnight to keep cats company. I follow instructions well, and keeping clean litter boxes & bagging/trashing dirty litter is always my priority! I work full-time, so Wed-Fri, I can only pet sit in the evening. Tues, Sat and Sun I can sit throughout the day. I can stay overnight on a Fri or Sat night. I am comfortable with basic cat care duties like feeding, filling water bowls, cleaning litter (scooping, sweeping, dumping dirty litter in dumpster). I'm happy to play with & pet cats as long as they need!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fairmont City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,262 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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
