“Baylie is the absolute sweetest!!! She watched our two very shy kitties while we were away for the weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I figured they would hide the entire time, as they usually do around new people, but they were so comfortable with her that they both actually came out for pets! That alone says so much about how gentle, patient, and caring she is with animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands while we were away. Baylie was wonderful, trustworthy, and clearly has such a genuine love for animals. It makes such a difference having someone you can feel comfortable leaving your pets with, and we are so grateful we found her! We will 100% be booking Baylie again anytime we need someone to care for our fur babies. We couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”

“Shay was an amazing sitter for my cat, Mima. During my week away, she took absolutely wonderful care of him. She visited for an hour every day and handled everything perfectly—from cleaning his litter box and brushing him to making sure he got some supervised time out on the patio. All my instructions were followed, and her daily updates and quick responses gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy cat. Thank you, Shay! I will recommend Shay W. to anyone who needs a cat sitter!"”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have spent the last few years caring for close friends’ dogs and cats. I truly love animals and enjoy giving them lots of attention, walks, and care. I’m happy to look after dogs of all breeds and sizes, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and feel safe, loved, and comfortable—just like they would at home. My special skills include professional belly rubs and treat giver. I work part-time, so I’m pretty flexible during the weekdays for walks, visits, and feedings. On weekends I work eight-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, so I’m available early in the morning or later at night. I’m always happy to coordinate schedules to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Whether it’s my own dog or yours, there will always be long walks, playtime, and lots of belly rubs. My dog loves chasing his tennis ball and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very used to keeping pups active and happy. Whatever your dog loves to do, I’ll make sure they get plenty of fun, care, and attention.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍 I work full time (9-5) but in the evenings and Weekends I am free(: so any needs you may have please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😌 Well I’m sure since I can’t provide my own home, that you the owner will let me know any safety hazards or things I would need to know before anything

I am overall very flexible, loving, attentive, accommodating, and interact with all pets in my own constantly - whether that be talking to them, playing with them in and outside, brushing, petting them while they rest and giving treats (if allowed). Sebastian is my puppy and he is still learning about the world but very sweet and adjusts to all pets if you want me to bring him for your furbaby to have a friend also! If not thats ok too, I am only caring for pets in their own home though and happy to take them to parks etc to play if prefer!

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.

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 November 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 November 2026, there are 802 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 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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
