“Keira was great with a last minute booking due to another sitter canceling. She was thorough in getting an understanding of our cat’s needs. We got multiple photos at every visit. She checked the auto feeder and trouble shooted refilling it when we had forgotten. Consistent and good communication. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of consistency, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve provided care for a wide range of animals such as puppies needing structure and positive reinforcement, senior pets requiring extra patience and medication, and everything in between. I understand that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so I do my best to replicate their normal schedule and environment as closely as possible. I’ve also cared for pets during long-term periods, over 30 consecutive days, while their owners were away, ensuring not just their physical needs were met, but also offering emotional comfort and companionship. Whether I’m helping a shy cat warm up to a new face or making sure a high-energy pup gets daily exercise and enrichment, I’m committed to treating every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I currently am a master's student at Northern Arizona University. My class schedule is very consistent with my main classes taking part on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 4pm-6:30pm. I occasionally help with undergraduate classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am-1pm. This schedule leaves me plenty of time and energy to provide attentive, unhurried care for pets throughout the day and evening. Whether it’s midday visits, afternoon walks, or overnight stays, I’m flexible and able to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, consistent environment. My approach is always tailored to your pet’s personality, needs, and routines. When pets stay in my home, I strive to make it a peaceful, welcoming space, clean, secure, and set up with cozy spots for rest, quiet areas for alone time, and plenty of room for play and comfort. I only take in a limited number of pets at a time so each animal receives dedicated attention and care. I maintain your pet’s usual schedule for meals, potty breaks, medications, and playtime to reduce stress and support their well-being. I also supervise closely and ensure pets are never left alone for long stretches. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine intact. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I move at their pace to help them feel secure. I maintain cleanliness, monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort, and keep you regularly updated with photos and notes so you can feel confident while you're away. In both settings, I aim to be a dependable, calming presence your pet can rely on.

She even got my super shy German Shepherd to hang out with her a bit. I've got Allie saved on my list and will definitely book her again next time we head out.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I grew up with both dogs and cats, giving me lifelong experience understanding the unique needs and personalities of different pets. As my childhood dog entered her senior years and developed medical needs, I became her primary caregiver, managing her daily routine, providing extra patience and comfort, and ensuring she received the attentive care she needed as she aged. That experience taught me the importance of recognizing changes in a pet's behavior, adapting to their individual needs, and providing compassionate care at every stage of life. Today, I'm the proud owner of two dogs that I've personally raised and trained. From basic obedience and leash manners to establishing consistent routines and positive reinforcement, I've invested a lot of time into helping my dogs become happy, well-behaved companions. Caring for them every day has given me extensive hands-on experience with exercise, enrichment, feeding schedules, grooming, and creating a safe, structured environment. I've also provided pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats while they're away. I know how important it is to maintain each pet's normal routine, provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is gone. When I'm caring for your pet, you can expect reliable communication, lots of photo updates, and the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, an active adult, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or an independent cat who enjoys quiet companionship, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for—and to give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently working part-time from home with a flexible schedule so will have plenty of time to care for your pets at any time of day! I have daily availability and same-day booking. I will follow whatever instructions are needed for your pet! I understand that each pet is different and has their own set of needs and am happy to accommodate.

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 8 years old, starting with my own pets and helping friends and neighbors. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to senior cats. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, calm nature, and reliability. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I’m able to work around each pet's specific routine and needs. I'm available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits and can easily adjust as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I always keep the environment calm and comforting, giving pets lots of attention and care so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I also keep everything clean and make sure to communicate with updates and photos.

About: I’ve ALWAYS had love for animals of all shapes and sizes! Growing up, I had many opportunities to take care of cats, dogs, and even birds! I’m not able to own any pets at the moment, so I’ve been finding ways to get my fix! I love walking dogs at the humane society in my free time. I’m always looking for a way to fulfill my nurturing side: I have almost 100 plants, I’m on the path to become a nurse, and I’d love to help look after people’s beloved pets :) At the moment, I’m between jobs while I work through my senior year of college! I plan on applying for a part time CNA job in a few months, but right now I have a lot of free time that I’d love to fill with spending time with pets! Friday - Sunday I have no set obligations, and I have a few classes Monday - Thursday with time in between to do check ins. Other than that, I spend my free time doing Pottery, but my schedule is very flexible I’m a very responsible and reliable person! I’m so excited to spend time with pets and treat them as if they were my own, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. Knowing how important fur babies are to their parents, I’ll send lots of pictures and updates! I’m extremely detail oriented and will follow instructions very closely, paying close attention to your pets behaviors and cues.

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for family pets and that hands‑on experience is what inspired me to pursue a career as a veterinarian. Because I’ve grown up around animals and have watched over relatives' pets before. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, and I’m great with playful animals who need attention and structure. Even though my experience comes from family pets, I take their care seriously: feeding on schedule, keeping them active, watching for changes in behavior, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like they’re part of the family, and I bring that same care to any pet I look after. I’m free any time, day or night, so your pet or your home gets my full attention. I currently do not work, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for drop‑ins, house sitting, or cat care. I’m reliable, organized, and always on time, and I was raised to leave things better than I found them. I take pride in being tidy, respectful, and extremely attentive in any home I’m trusted with. I keep things clean, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet’s space stays calm and comfortable. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and your home is left even better than when you handed it over.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. You name the animal, I’ve lived with it and cared for it! From horses, to chickens, to birds, to cats, to dogs, I’ve done it all! Along with this, I have experience with animals small and large, so the size of your baby means absolutely nothing negative to me! I know it can be hard to find a sitter for a breed that may be a little more intimidating to some, but I believe that every animal deserves the same love. I have experience giving dogs pills, and I know how particular they can be about taking them. That’s nothing to worry about with me, I always make sure to find something specific to that dog that will get them to take their medicine! I also know how hard it can be to find a sitter for a rescue, especially one who is still timid. I’ve grown up with rescues, and know the level of patience and love they need to be shown. I am also able to provide support to senior dogs or dogs who need a little more help getting around, I’m able to make them comfortable and happy! I also have experience training puppies to do basic tricks, such as sit, speak, shake, and lay down. I would absolutely love to provide your baby with the care they deserve! I currently pet and house sit as my income. This means that my top priority is ensuring that your baby is taken care of at all times. I have an extremely open and flexible schedule, and am able to do check ins at almost whatever time you prefer. I know that when I’m entering your home, I’m also entering your pets home. It can be scary for them to have a stranger come to their safe space, but I provide patience and an upbeat personality to make them feel comfortable. I’m cautious, but also loving and wanting to do everything I can to make your pet happy! I respect both your space and your pets.

About: I have had pets all 18 years of my life! Dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and fish! I am experienced in cleaning up, walking, and playing with furry friends. I work remotely, and will be going to NAU for college. Most of my availability will be in the afternoon, but at this moment in time I'm free any time a day until the end of August. My apartment doesn't allow pets, but I am willing to pet sit at the owner's home. I will follow any and all rules the pet owner has for their home. I will clean any messes made, and inform the owner of anything the pet or I have done in and outside the home.

I truly just want to do whatever the client is comfortable with.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since the age of 4 years old. I previously owned 13 dogs ranging in size from teacup poodle to a Great Dane-German shepherd mix for about 4 of those years. My mom and I did a lot of rescuing and our last recuse we thought was our last dog turned out to be pregnant and we ended up keeping all of the puppies which is what lead to having 13 dogs. My mom worked a lot so I did a lot of the caring, training, and tending for the dogs. I potty trained, doggie door trained, taught basic tricks, and crate trained all 7 puppies on my own at the age of 15/16. Eventually I used to call their names and say “go to your cages” and they all knew which “assigned” cage to go into without me having to guide them. I do not live with a caretaker anymore and I have no animals of my own I just moved back here to Arizona (Flagstaff) so as of right now I am not currently working so I have full free time and a very flexible schedule! I provide loving, reliable, and attentive in-home care to ensure your pets stay safe, happy, and relaxed in their familiar routine. I understand that your pets are family and your home is your sanctuary, which is why safety, integrity, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. From closely following feeding schedules and managing secure door and leash safety to keeping your home tidy and secure, I treat your property with the utmost respect. You can count on regular photo and text updates for complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are receiving gentle, dedicated care and your home is in thoughtful, trustworthy hands!

This was our first time using someone through Rover. We couldn't be more pleased with Sara. She quickly put us at ease with her level of professionalism and communication during our Meet and Greet plus the seven days she watched our cat. Additionally, she lowered our anxiety while away by arriving during the timeframe she said she would, staying the length of time agreed upon, and providing daily pictures on how our 'little one' was getting along - great reliability! We recommend Sara B. and won't hesitate to book with her again.

EXCELLENT caregiver. Our old cat always hides from strangers. But she came out for Josh. We were amazed. He must be a "cat whisperer". When we returned home, our baby was totally calm, like we had never left. I highly recommend Josh. We are using him again for our October trip to La Jolla.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Flagstaff

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Flagstaff is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 156 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Flagstaff. 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 .

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 , 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.
