Alexander did a great job visiting my puppy while I was away. He was timely, gentle and attentive when handling him. I appreciate the updates and extra help with cleaning up after my pup and I trusted that my dog was in great hands. Thanks!

Lilla has been amazing with our dog and communication with me. Lloyd was having severe anxiety and Lilla communicated with me every step of the way, on his behavior, shyness, and even when he got a bit aggressive towards her. She comforted him and gave him the space and attention he needed as we devised a plan. I appreciated her openness, understanding and thoughtful approach to our dogs needs!

This was our 1st experience using Rover and in a brand new city. After meeting Megan & Kirby, we knew we made the perfect choice. They were absolutely great. Even though our electronic looks and camera notified us when they came and went, they still sent us daily updates & photos. All of that was great, but my cats response to them made it such a great experience. She can be a very fussy senior (loves to growl & hiss at sitters). It was the opposite with Megan & Kirby. Obviously she knew they were “pet people”. Anytime I have to go out of town, I’ll be using them! I can’t recommend them enough!

About: Hi! My name is Anjelica. I am a dog person and a cat person but if I am to be honest I have gotten a huge soft spot for cats since having 2 of my own. I have pet sit for people many times over the past couple of years, cats and dogs. Whether it involved me going to their house, walking them, or having them come to my house for a couple of hours. I have a car so I am able to drive to wherever I’m needed and am available most days! Like I said you can trust me with your fur baby. I am particular with how I feed my own cats so I understand certain routines that may be requested when it comes to watching other people’s pets!😄 I am available to provide pet care throughout the week (M-F) 10am-7:30pm. If you would like me to provide pet care more than once throughout the day or week I just ask that you provide enough detail and clear communication I want to provide the best care for the pets. I ask the owner(s) about anything I should specifically do or not do, how often should I walk them, when their feeding times are, etc. I just make sure I have all the necessary info so the pet can be taken care of properly and safely and then it’s time for belly rubs!

About: I've taken care of dogs and watched after dogs almost all of my life. From my god mother's Rottweiler, Sisters Black Lab, my best friends Boston terriers a labradodle. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I work from home so I have no issue with being in the house with your dog. My community is very pet friendly with not 1 but 2 dog parks that allows for exercise and fresh air. I work full time from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Usually while watching pets for friends I'll go for a morning walk for bathroom needs, around lunch we'll take another quick walk and game of fetch and one more walk in the evening before the sun goes down. I care for pets depending on what you as the owner recommend. For my dog nephew, we only feed him at 4pm (put food in the bowl) so that in the mornings and nights when we take him out to do his business he's good to go. I like to have a toy or bone around for them to chew on while I work, but once we go out side I make sure we're getting some fresh air for at least 30minutes to an hour.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a little extra love and patience. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m reliable, flexible, and always treat your pet like family because that’s exactly how I’d want mine treated. What makes me different is my calm, caring energy and attention to detail. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort zones whether they need active play, gentle handling, or medication reminders. I have experience with crate training, leash walking, and helping anxious or shy pets feel at ease. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet feels at home. As an educator, structure and consistency are a big part of my daily life and that carries over into how I care for pets. My schedule allows me to dedicate time before and after work, as well as weekends, to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I approach pet care the same way I approach teaching: with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for helping others (whether they walk on two legs or four!). Caring for animals brings balance to my week and gives me joy it’s my way to unwind while doing something meaningful. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or chill spots , so I can keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets have a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and playtime. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels at home while you’re away. It’s all about trust you trusting me with your pet, and your pet trusting me to care for them like family.

Tandy was excellent with our 4-year-old Golden Retriever Sofia! We could tell Sofia was comfortable with Tandy and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her. Tandy was attentive to our dog’s needs and we were impressed with her professionalism and flexibility, as we booked her twice with less than a 24-hour notice. We will absolutely book with Tandy again and highly recommend her!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember I’m able to groom, walk and care for your loved ones but a skill that sets me aside from other caregivers is the fact that I can read body language and have a better understanding of how your dog is feeling and what they may need from me. pet hair fits into my routine because I spend most of my time at home, caring for my cats and the animals that I have but it gets to a certain point where I have extra time and they don’t need me as much because I have already set in stone the things that they need and I could be giving that time to other animals that need caregivers I care for pets in your home by listening to what you tell me that your dog or cat needs and going by that and if there’s a time where I feel like your cat or dog will benefit from something more checking in with you as the parent and acting accidentally!

Ehuniz did an amazing job sitting for my dog Asja! I can pretty much fill out a potential sitter during the Meet and Greet. Ehuniz was very warm and calm which made me quite comfortable (my dog feeds off energy). Ehuniz was very responsive when I made initial contact with here to sit for my dog which was a pretty quick turnaround due to a last minute issues with the person originally scheduled to sit for her. I highly recommend Ehuniz if you are looking for a reliable sitter!

For the third year Sharmily made sure Kitkat was well taken care of while we went on vacation. We were gone for two weeks, when we returned, Kitkat was still the happy cat we left. Thanks a million Sharmily, could not have been possible without you. Have a great summer.

Mickela was great with my cats, and we have a lot of cats. She was able to make each of my cats feel safe and cared for while I was gone on a very long work trip. Normally I come home to a house with some kitty messes due to stress and this time I came home to a clean and happy house where I could just hop right back into our normal routine. I have already booked Mickela for my next work trip and she will 100% be my regular sitter. I highly recommend!. She was able to give my cats their medicine, handle a pretty hectic feeding time, and keep everyone happy and stress free. If you want someone to love your cat like their own Mickela is your person!

Natalie is truly a VIP cat sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Pierre is not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable, happy, and loved while I’m away. She spends quality time with him, follows every instruction carefully, keeps me updated, and always makes sure he’s well fed and well taken care of. She is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, trustworthy, and attentive person to care for their pets.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Fairmount Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fairmount Heights on Rover is $23.54 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 7,828 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fairmount Heights. 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 Fairmount Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
