“Sarah was wonderful. She was patient with me and my roommate while we tried to figure out our vacation schedule, and she even came over for a meet and greet with my cat BEFORE we agreed to hire her, just to make sure he took to her. My roommate and I have 3 cats together, and they had only recently been introduced so there were a lot of interesting dynamics Sarah was walking into. She did a great job with them.”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10. I currently live with my 5-year-old American Shorthair, Snowy, and I'm fostering two tuxedo kittens. I can give oral medications and handle feeding, litter boxes, and daily care. I love cats and treat every cat I visit like my own. I have a lot of time can take care of cats because I have a part time work . And available day time and night until 8:00pm. I always wash my hands before handling your cat, keep doors and windows closed during visits, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and contact you immediately if anything seems unusual.
“Helen was so amazing! I was super nervous leaving my boys alone for the first time and she was the best. They loved her and she kept me updated with pics and videos. She asks great questions and you can really tell she cares about their well being. She was respectful of our home during her stay. We couldn’t ask for a better and more trustworthy person.”
About: I got my puppy in high school and potty trained her, bathed her regularly, and took her on walks for as long as she wanted. I love staying active and will happily keep your dog moving. I also have years of experience with cats and kittens, including bottle feeding, monthly baths, grooming, playtime, and keeping their litter areas fresh and tidy. I pay close attention to each pet's moods and tendencies, so I can tell what they need and adapt to their routines. I treat every pet like family❤️❤️ I currently do not work except for some weekends that I officiate volleyball. Overall, I’m very free on weekdays and on most weekends. I have a reliable car and am flexible with mileage/minutes. I care for pets in a safe, fun, and spotless environment. I'm a type A person who loves cleaning and keeping things tidy, so your home and your pet's space will always be left neat and organized. I have two friendly cats of my own, so I'm comfortable around animals and know how to keep them relaxed, safe, and entertained. I follow your routines closely, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet like family.
“Birute consistently cared for my cat and made every effort to make sure he felt comfortable and safe. Thanks to her, I was able to enjoy my trip with complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Birute to everyone. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat! ❤️”
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.
“I cannot recommend Cassidy enough! She took such incredible care of my cat, Vicii, while I was away. From the start, she was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. She provided regular updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Vicii was happy and well cared for. Not only did she follow all of my instructions perfectly, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Vicii felt comfortable and loved. It’s clear she truly cares about animals, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter, look no further!”
About: I love animals and nature so much. I offer to give all love and care to animals. They get stress out when their owner are not around and I always try to give them the most quality time they can get. Recently moved to california from Hawaii and working in Grooming gave me the experience to be around al diferentes kinds of dogs and also I have plenty of time to be with other doggies. I’m a responsible and caring adult with over 20 years of experience working with animals. I’ve done everything from dog walking and sitting to the last five years of dog bathing and grooming. I recently moved to California from Hawaii and joined Rover to combine my love for animals with a flexible job that truly makes me happy. I’ve cared for dogs from birth to their senior years, and my family and I even run a dog rescue shelter in Mexico, where we’ve helped countless pups find loving homes. As a certified paramedic with BLS training, I’m confident in my ability to stay calm and handle any situation or emergency with care and safety. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — they’re family to me. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pet with love, respect, and patience. My goal is to give every pet parent the peace of mind that their furry friend is safe, happy, and loved while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of many dogs. I used to have a Samoyed and a multipoo myself for many years previously. I love how affectionate dogs are. I am great at sticking to feeding schedules. I enjoy petting and playing with a dog kindly and gently. I have a big backyard that is fenced where a dog can run and play safely. I work part time, not everyday, and just a few hours a day, so I am a great companion to your sweet lovable pet. I am gentle, caring, loving, warm hearted. I am very empathetic to pets because they are loving beings. I will often take them for bathroom breaks, pet, and feed on schedule. I want the pet to feel safe and happy and the owner to relax and enjoy their time away. I have a fenced backyard. I accept cats or small dogs only. The pet will have space to run and play. I am gentle with my voice and my affection to the pet. I have a big heart and am also good at keeping a feeding schedule. I am warm hearted and responsible.
“This is our second time booking Max to take care of our cat June and we couldn’t be happier. He’s so thoughtful, respectful of our apartment, communicative and takes great care of June! We always come home to a clean apartment and happy cat. It’s wonderful not having to worry about June when she’s with Max. Thank you for everything Max! See you again soon”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and family and neighbors have relied on me to regularly care for their pets while out of town or when traveling. I’ve had my own personal cat for 11 years now. I also regularly foster animals through Best Friends Animal Society. I work a full time job but am available for evening and weekend care. Whether that’s walking your dog in the evening and feeding before bed or full time weekend care, I’m happy to help where I can. I’m realizable by being on time, communicative and professional. I genuinely care for all animals so I will ensure that your pet is receiving the best care possible.
About: I have experience in pet sitting of all ages, puppy’s kittens, teen years and senior years! I also have monitored medication intake, ointments and more. I am currently working full time and commute so I’m available mostly on weekends for house sitting, dog watching and check ins 8:00 pm M/W/F I make sure the pets feel happy and safe at all times. I can tell when they want attention or prefer space and adjust as needed!
“We've only met Shea once before our trip and our German Shephards took to her immediately. She sent us photos of the dogs playing, something they just love. She did not contact us while we were gone, other than feedback from the visits. Yay, no emergencies. She's great!!! She would be one of my top doggie aunties with only one dog. 3 dogs is just a bit spendier than the others.”
About: A focal point in my life since day one has been animals. Pets in every home. I went to high school adjacent to the LA Zoo. I interned at a dairy farm at UC Davis. I started cat/dog/housesitting in 2012. I’ve looked after dogs with different energy levels and personalities, as well as cats who need anything from lots of attention to complete independence. I’m especially good at reading cues and adjusting quickly. I’m very routine-oriented and reliable, so feeding schedules, medications, and daily habits are always followed closely. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I’m someone who naturally keeps a home in great shape. I’m tidy, respectful, and attentive to details, happy to water plants, keep things organized, and make sure everything feels calm and well cared for. What really sets me apart is that I treat every sit with intention. Your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re being understood and cared for in a way that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely at ease. I am working part-time and have the time, energy and unconditional love to provide care for all pets. I live alone and am home most of the day. I abide by your rules and make sure your pets remain taken care of. My goal is to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing. I am a big walker and live near parks.
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
About: I have had cats since I was a young girl and own two 10 year old cats now, adopted from rescue shelters. I love all animals! I will ensure they have clean food and water, play and cuddle time, clean litter, and lots of love. I have five star ratings because I am caring, reliable, respectful, clean and communicative and truly love cats and the people I meet. I work remotely and have flexible hours so can pop in for a day time visit or stay overnights when I’m not caring for my daughter (have shared custody so a good amount of time on my own and enjoy traveling to care for cats too). I am attentive and communicative and will ask for your preferences but care for cats in their home and comfort zone. I am very familiar with cats and comfortable around animals.
About: I’ve personally had many dogs and cats throughout both my childhood and now adulthood and consider them my family. I’m patient, kind, caring and very good with any and all special care needs for younger or older pets. I’m currently working part time and remotely from my home so I have a lot of time and flexibility / openings daily as may be needed. I have a fenced yard in a nice, safe neighborhood with one male terrier mix dog and one long haired domestic long hair cat. I work remotely so am home with my pets and any additional friends I may meet who come by! Very animal safe!

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! 🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fernwood is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,240 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
