“We highly recommend Oksana. We were nervous because we were leaving our cats for the first time, and they are very skitty kitties. But when we came home after our 6 day trip it was obvious they were well cared for. There was fresh water in their bowls, the litter was clean, and there was food in their dishes. They came to greet us right away, which shows us that they didn't feel abandoned in any way. Oksana's communication throughout our stay was prompt and direct - she checked in every day and posted photos for us to keep track. We felt very assured knowing that they were in such good hands. Thank you, Oksana!”

“Kendyl was absolutely a spectacular sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was super accommodating, sweet, attentive and just amazing with our two pits. They are not easy to walk and she did a splendid job and kept us updated with beautiful pictures/videos while we were out of town! You can tell she really loves animals! she is well experienced and exudes professionalism in every way ! If you are looking for someone to trust with your babies, look no further than Kendyl! We can’t wait to go on our next trip and have Kendyl sit our dogs ! Thanks Kendyl!!!”

About: Born and raised in Pacific Palisades. Grew up with every pet. Treat animals like I treat my children with love, kindness, fun, safety and structure. 6 years of professional large pack mountain hiking. I am a professional dog walker and mom. I pet sit when requested if it fits with both mine and the clients needs. Typically once a month. I only pet sit at other people’s homes. I am very good at following directions so that animals needs are met and communicating with owners.
About: As a lifelong animal lover from a family of animal lovers and with 13 years in animal rescue, I’m the person who always rescues animals in need, especially from high-kill shelters. Pets are family to me. After my two babies passed, I now professionally sit and foster. I believe each pet has a unique spirit, and I’d love to meet yours. I also practice animal communication and healing, helping pets feel less anxious. Alongside my rescue work, I run a trauma healing and mental health non-profit, creating programs to help individuals heal and reclaim their lives. I’m a writer, work from home, and am passionate about holistic health, music, travel, and nature. Your pets will receive compassionate care from someone who truly loves and understands them. I have animal friends from all over the world. I work from home and at my own schedule. Flexible availability any time or day of the week. I will do whatever is expected to make your animal feel safe, appreciated; and in their routine. Each animal has different needs and I respect this while having a strong knowledge of animal behavior.
“Heather was fantastic!! On-time every time, great with my cat who seemed to have a lot of fun with her, and very communicative with potential issues. Won't hesitate to book her again in the future, and I recommend you do the same!”

About: I love all kinds of animals and have had experience handling all kinds of them from iguanas to Maine coone cats. I’ve had experience caring for Pomeranians, miniature pinschers, and more. I am great at making animals feel safe and comfortable. I work part time but I manage my own schedule so I can most likely work around your schedule as long as you let me know in advance when you’d like me to care for your pet! I prefer to watch pets in my clients home or take them for walks around their neighborhood as this is likely where your pet will feel safest. Instructions specific to your pet are encouraged.
About: We have both grown up with animals and have been caring for pets our entire lives. We currently have three pets of our own, so we understand the level of care, attention, and love that animals truly need to feel safe and comfortable. We know firsthand how stressful it can be to find reliable, trustworthy pet care, especially when balancing work and busy schedules, which is why we’re passionate about providing a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, along with additional unfenced space on our property, allowing for plenty of supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We also have the space to comfortably keep dogs separated if needed, giving each pet their own area while still receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their specific needs and routine. One of us works from home full-time, while the other works part-time as a personal trainer and is typically only away for about an hour at a time. This allows us to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time for walks, play, and individualized care. We provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. Our dogs are friendly and love playtime with other dogs, creating a fun and engaging environment for social pets. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore, and get their energy out. We have experience managing multiple pets and can easily separate dogs if needed, giving each pet their own space while still ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care. Our dogs are crate trained and comfortable using their crates, and we’re happy to incorporate crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. We strongly believe in following each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate time or not, we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. We prioritize safety at all times, closely supervise interactions, and tailor care to each pet’s needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free, home-like environment where your pet is treated like part of the family.
About: I have responsibly cared for animals since childhood and throughout my adulthood. Growing up my family home was always open to new pets - cats, dogs, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, you name it! There I learned the skills required to care for an animal of any temperament, I learned to adapt their unique needs and to help them feel safe and secure in your absence. I have years of experience as a trustworthy pet owner and caretaker of dogs and cats of all ages. I promise to care for your pet reliably, mindfully, and intuitively, pulling from years of developed expertise to ensure your emotional ease and their comfort and wellbeing. I have been building my business app-free but now I’m so happy to offer my services to fellow animal lovers through Rover. I love what I do, I’m flexible to your schedule, and I hope to offer you peace of mind (and lots of pictures upon request) knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home and my hours are flexible so I am able to provide your pet with the 24/7 care and attention they need. I live in a one bedroom apartment, if I am caring for your pet in my own space I have plenty of room for your pet to play. I love to be outside and am available for walks at any hour of the day.

“Kathleen was awesome! She was very communicative throughout caring for my kitties, punctual and very respectful of my space and care for my babies while I was away. She was such a great sitter and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!”

“Taylor did a great job and was very good at communicating with me during her drop in visits. She was also very thoughtful of my home and I appreciated it. She went the extra miles of wiping Chico’s paws when they were full of mud after being out on the grass. She was very understanding of my dogs behaviors too and made me feel relieved while Chico was in her care!”

“Kiyarash is amazing!! We hired him to take care of our SHY cat, and he came daily for a quick feeding and play time. He always sent photos and gave us an update, quickly responded to messages, and by day 2 she had warmed up to him 🥹 I cant recommend him enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for taking care of our baby, Kiyarash!!!!”

About: I truly love dogs and understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. As a dog mom to three wonderful dogs, I know every dog has their own personality, routines, and quirks. All three of my dogs have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, and I’ve also learned from professional dog trainers along the way. I will care for your dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, lots of attention, and plenty of love. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine with my own three dogs, so I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving them the attention they need. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and keep you updated while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We live in a spacious two-story home with both a front yard and a backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and explore. My own three dogs, all of whom have passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, typically stay upstairs, allowing me to thoughtfully manage introductions and create a comfortable environment for every pet. Our community is quiet, surrounded by fresh air and beautiful walking and hiking paths, so your dog can enjoy both exercise and enrichment. Whether your pup loves outdoor adventures or prefers cozy naps and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.
About: As an avid outdoors lover, I bring a unique perspective to pet care, especially for dogs who enjoy hiking and exploring, or the couch potato pup that loves relaxing by the couch. My experience extends beyond traditional pet sitting to include care for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, goats, reptiles, and even invertebrates like spiders. What sets me apart is my ability to tailor care to each animal's specific needs, providing specialized senior care, or simply ensuring that every pet gets the exercise and attention they deserve. With me, your pets will not only be well looked after but also have the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors and all it has to offer. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets under my care. With a fenced yard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to roam and play under supervision. My friendly pug and two cat companions create a warm and social atmosphere, ensuring your pet feels right at home. If needed, I am equipped to accommodate special requests such as crating your dog for their comfort and security. Whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are paramount, and I prioritize creating an environment where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for at all times.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life. My parents have two miniature schnauzers and one Doberman that I was the main caretaker for when I lived there. One of the schnauzers is in a diaper and the other is on a special diet for her kidneys. That being said I can help take care of dogs with special instructions for their care. I can also take care of larger dogs as my Doberman is my best friend. I help my family and my friends families, walk their dogs and I’m around dogs quite often. I try to nanny during the week so my schedule is pretty free, especially in the mornings and early afternoons. I love to go on walks in general both morning and evening so I can fit pet around most schedules. I am in an apartment but across the street there is a dog park that rarely gets used. It’s not super busy around me so going on walks is easy. I also don’t mind going to your home and will leave it mess free.

“Such a great experience. I knew reading the bio I wanted to book Belle. She was prompt, efficient, and communication was seamless from start to finish. Everything felt easy and handled with care. I really appreciated how smooth the whole process was and my dogs were happy and well cared for. Would absolutely book again.”

“Gianna did an incredible job watching our three cats and we have now found a new permanent cat sitter! She did an excellent job updating us on the cats and sending a lot of pictures that eased our mind while away on vacation. If you want to travel without the struggle of worrying about your pets, Gianna is for you!”

“Lili was truly a life saver when I needed someone to come check on my cat Maisie urgently. She was there within 2 minutes and was super prompt with feeding her, making sure the balcony door was closed, finding her hiding under the bed. It was an urgent situation and I couldn’t have been happier that Lili was up for the job because she went above and beyond. You MUST book for your pets too, she is an expert and great with animals!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Oh my gosh. I cannot recommend Fallon enough. She was just SUCH a blessing to have. I haven’t used Rover in a long time because of a past experience but Fallon is the real deal! Exactly what you’d hope for from a pet sitter. She goes ABOVE and beyond with her care and communication. I truly feel like I can’t leave my babies with anyone else anymore. We have tortoises, flowers, and 4 cats. One of them is super skiddish and she extended so much empathy to him until he warmed up to her. And she nailed it all! The biggest of thank yous from my family to Fallon! We will definitely be seeing her again as my cats already miss her! 🥰

Marianna was a dream to have as a pet sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of, happy and enriched. She didn’t just feed them and leave, she stayed to make sure they had cuddles and extra play time. She also was on time and very communicative. We would be honored to have Marianna watch our fur babies again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fernwood on Rover is $24.17 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fernwood. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
