“As a first time Rover user I couldn’t help to be nervous, but Jill took such amazing care of my cat, Binx!! I got so many photos and she spent quality time with him. She also updated me on litter box usage, behavior, water, etc. I felt so much relief being away that Jill was there.”

About: Currently in Dental Hygiene school, and looking to bring in a little bit of funds to help with school essentials and kids sports. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m a proud owner of two Great Danes, so I’m very comfortable handling large and giant breeds! I also previously worked as a veterinary technician, which gave me valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their needs, behaviors, and overall well-being. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat every dog like they’re one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me flexibility throughout the week to provide walks certain days of the week, some drop in visits, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. As a pet owner myself and with my previous veterinary technician experience, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal routine and schedule to help them feel comfortable while their family is away. 🐾 I treat every pet as if they were my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting pets who prefer a little more space. With my previous veterinary technician experience, I’m comfortable caring for different breeds, sizes, personalities, and needs. Safety is always my priority, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: With 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I know how to keep your pup safe, happy, and well-exercised. Whether it’s a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra playtime, I bring patience, reliability, and lots of love to every visit. Your dog will be in good hands, and paws! I work full-time Monday through Friday, and would be available on the weekends! Depending on the week you could catch me for a weeknight walk after 5pm! I keep my eyes on other pets we will encounter on walks, and make sure your pup is safe when passing others, crossing roads, and walking in general.

About: I’m an animal lover but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I get excited to see any dog and enjoy giving them the attention they deserve. I’ve owned dogs of my own for most of my life and have experience caring for older dogs with special needs. I work remotely and travel part time for work. While I’m in town my schedule is very flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I’m happy to be someone you and your pet can depend on I care for pets as if they were my own. Dogs are easy to love so giving them attention is the simple part but dog owners can rest assured as I’m detail oriented and can keep up the same schedule they have when you’re home

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner who understands how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I’m Pet Sitters International certified, and I am insured. I have a medical assistant background, so I’m comfortable giving medications including injections and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adjust walks and visits to your pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home Monday through Thursday, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime walks and drop-in visits. Friday through Sunday I’m usually in the Gulf Gate neighborhood and can often accommodate visits there as well. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to work pet care around each pet’s normal routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. During drop-in visits, I also make sure pets are comfortable and secure before I leave, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. I’m comfortable adjusting care based on age, energy level, personality, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I want you to have that peace of mind! Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for some playtime, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also know that every pet has their own little personality, quirks, and routines, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that means extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them their space, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them happiest! I truly love being around animals and would be so excited to get to know yours. I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own two boys! 🐾💕 With a flexible schedule, I bring the best of both worlds as your dog walker and cat sitter. Working remotely and locally allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, ensuring your furry friends receive the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday dog walk or a cozy cat cuddle session, my schedule adapts to yours. I prioritize reliability and availability, providing peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable hands at a time that suits you. Here to help with what aligns best with your schedule, making life easier for both you and your beloved companions! Every day is an adventure with Eli. Working remotely allows me to be present for my him, taking him for walks around our neighborhood, providing not just exercise but also a chance to explore the world together then cuddling up for a nap. With my previous dog, Tanner, he would enjoy two hours of playtime in our fenced yard, filled with games and activities that cater to his energetic spirit. Once a week, we would take a special trip to a nearby kayak launch. This scenic spot, within walking distance from our house, became a favorite for him. Here, he learned to swim, and we revel in the joy of playing together on warm summer days.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats for the past 15 years, as well as my family’s 2 French Bulldogs and English bulldog for around 5 years now. I have open availability at the moment and am willing to work any days and times needed to take care of animals that need it. I walk my family’s dogs every couple hours, and feed them their homemade food that is made for them. For my cat, I scoop her litter box everyday, feed her, refill her water and spend time with her at night.

Amanda was great with our two Cats. One of our cats went into hiding at the end of our trip and Amanda stayed lingering just to make sure she got eyes on the cat before leaving. The cats and our house were left exactly as we left it, clean and happy. Thank you Amanda for the great job.

After my regular cat sitter had to cancel before a 2 week trip before the holidays, I discovered Rover.com, which led me to Bryana. Our meet-and-greet went well, so headed off with confidence. It was well placed! Bryana looked after my (3) cats, cared for them and kept me posted with regular emails and photos. I can’t recommend Bryana highly enough…or Rover.com!

Juliana was so great with our two kitties! She was generous enough to watch them over the Christmas holidays for us, and went above and beyond to keep our place clean while we were gone. We had two mixup packages she took care of for us, she set up our new cat toy that arrived late, and was great at keeping us updated on the cats while we were gone. She gave us such great piece of mind. The cats loved her, we would happily hire her again. We highly recommend Juliana!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Fort Hamer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Fort Hamer is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 2,624 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Hamer. 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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Hamer. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
