About: I’ve cared for all animals since I was 10. My own, family and friends! I’ve had dogs, rabbits, lizards, cats, you name it! I can’t wait to get to know and treat your fur babies as my own! I currently work M-F until 4pm, I can do walks and drop ins any time after those hours, or any time at all on the weekends! I can ensure your pets safety whether that be on walks or in your own home! Noticing signs of distress is something I always check for to make sure your animal will be as comfortable as possible.
“This is the second time we’ve had Katie take care of our cat during our lengthy vacation and everything went great. Not only did she take amazing care of our cat but she went above and beyond with sweeping the bathroom and refilling litter boxes.”
“Kate-Lynn is great!! She is super friendly, and loves our cat when she takes care of him when we are away! She communicates very well with us whenever we are away and/or have any questions. We feel calmer being away from our pets because we know Kate-Lynn will take great care of them!”
About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.
“Nicole did a great job checking in and feeding our cats. She provided us with pictures and daily updates. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Nicole for taking care of our cats.”
About: Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️ 📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. • During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well. From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me! My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very walkable, with plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks, sniffing adventures, and exercise. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I'll make sure they have a calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or your cat prefers lounging in a sunny spot, I'll make sure they have a comfortable stay.
“Nisa took great care of my two kitties and was able to befriend my usually shy and fearful female. She responded quickly and went out of her way to help me out of a jam, much appreciated!”
“Chris was great! He communicated readily during the entire time we were away. We felt like our two cats were in great hands. We will definitely use Chris again when we go away.”
“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppies to seniors. I have been fostering cats and puppies the past 4 years while they were waiting for their forever homes. With my own dogs I worked on leash training as well as house training! I am currently in grad school at UPenn and have classes on Mondays and Thursdays. I am looking to fill my time when I am not in class and have very open availablity! I will come into your home and make sure your pets feel safe with me. I will hope to learn their personality’s and become on of their new favorite people! I will always send pictures and videos of your pets as well while I am with them!
“Thanks for a great home stay. My babies were well cared for and happy and healthy when I got home. I have a very picky eater so this is a real concern for me when I leave! My home was in great shape when I returned too! Appreciate all the extra care and attention! I highly recommend Meghan if your looking for a Housesitter!”
About: Since sneaking an abandoned newborn kitten home at the age of 14, I’ve had the privilege of gaining a diverse range of experiences in caring for both cats and dogs. Last summer my angel (chunky cat in my photos) passed away at 11 years old from sudden health issues, given no option for treatment. He was like a son to me. I've found animals are the medicine to my grief and I'll gladly dedicate all of me to caring for your pet! Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to adopt, foster, and pet-sit countless times, demonstrating my knowledge and responsibility in caring for cats and dogs of all ages and in various conditions. My experience extends to puppy training and cat socialization, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for your beloved pet. With a deep passion for animals, I assure you that I will dedicate my utmost effort and commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your precious baby(ies) I’m currently working towards an engineering degree through online learning from home, which allows me to have great availability. I’m reachable by phone at all times as well. I have a big house (and spare rooms) with a large fenced yard. My patience towards animals seems to never run out because I look at them and all I see is a pure soul and a big (or small) baby. Caring for pets isn’t a chore to me and you can fully trust me to stay attuned and send lots of pictures and videos, as well as the basics like feed, walk, play, administer medication (if needed) as many times as needed. My experience with animal care is very diverse and the chances are very slim to none that I’ll encounter something I haven’t handled before.
“Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!”

About: I am a lover of all animals! I have had a passion for them ever since I was very young and strived to make a career out of it! As an adult, I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am experienced in administering medications oral and injections. I have actively volunteered at animal shelters comforting different breeds, big and small, playing, walking, cleaning up after them, or just giving them a friend to hang out with. In addition to my unique background, I have been in senior care for 8 years. I have experience with helping those elders in need including caring for their pets when needed. I run activity programs with seniors, which frequently includes pet therapy groups for sensory stimulation for elders. I currently work full time, but I am available all hours after work around 4:30 PM. My nights are rather quiet and always searching for something to do. My weekends are flexible so if you are in need of a weekend getaway, I can be there! Most of my holidays are open as well so your furry friend will be in good hands! I have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I definitely enjoy having some down time with them but also making sure they get taken care of physically. I love playing with them

About: Throughout my teen years, I’ve taken care of many pets; from training my puppies to caring for relatives’ pets. No matter the circumstances, I always have a fun time caring for these pets. I’m on the hunt for a part time job so I’m available all the time to care for pets! What better to do than doing something I love? I have three dogs at home and big yard but as we warm my dogs up to playing with others as part of their puppy training, we’ll keep your pets in your home.
About: I have five cats at home, each of whom I’ve raised since they were between 0–5 months old, and they truly are my whole world! I’ve also lived with and cared for dogs of all sizes over the years, from tiny Maltese to large Shepskies. In college, I even cared for two adorable hamsters. Whether your pet is big or small, energetic or shy, I’m passionate about providing loving, reliable care and building trust with every furry friend I meet. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own💕 I work as a scientist during the day, 3 days in office and 2 at home. I can fit walks/drop-ins into my lunch breaks at home and after work I can come by to check on or walk your furry loved one! My weekend availability is very open as well. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine and follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, medications, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, will leave everything just as I found it, and will always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,148 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Florence. 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.
