“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”
“Cristina did absolutely amazing!! She is extremely responsive and very caring about the pets she watches. Hands down the best, would highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m always home so it will easily fit into my weekly routine. I enjoy all animals and look forward to taking care of yours j I will take care of your pet as if it’s my own! I have a nice yard for lots of fun playtime and lots of toys
“Tristin is amazing. My dog Kairo loves her and enjoys going on walks with her. She has been our house sitter for about 2 months now and I have nothing but great things to say about her. Communication is amazing and you can tell she genuinely cares for him.”
“Cathy dropped in on our dogs to let them out while I was out of town for work and my wife wouldn’t be home until very late. Was a great experience just like before and will book again!”
“Glen was fantastic!!!! He went above and beyond making Lola feel happy, safe and secure. I would absolutely recommend Glen to anyone who wants their fur baby taken great care of. We will most definitely use Glen again! Wonderful experience!”
About: Hi! I’m Madison, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, fish, frogs, and other small pets, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, so I make it my goal to give them the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 One of the best parts about pet sitting is that I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you’re planning a trip, need a last-minute sitter, or just want someone to check in on your pet, I’d be happy to help. I love spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care!💓🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, love, and supervision while in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Ive worked with animals my entire life from large to small dogs to horses! I can accommodate senior dogs however I work particularly well with those pets who need plenty of stimulation and play time, I’ll work with ANY dog breed. I have one year of experience working in a professional pet daycare so I have no problem cleaning up after them no matter vomit or excrement I got you. And if you need to take your dog to the vet but they’re a little too heavy to get into the car by yourself, feel free to reach out and I’ll help you load them at a discount. Ready any time, whenever or whatever I’m your guy, I assure you I have the time and ability for it. Name a time and I be there 30 minutes ahead of schedule During my time working at a Pet daycare, I was in charge of over 30 dogs including overnight care. This included feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, taking them out to go potty(and picking up after), playing, monitoring for illness, and accommodating for any disabilities such as lack of limb or dry skin. You name it and I guarantee I can accommodate
“Emily W. did an excellent job caring for my two cats. My cats are very shy, but Emily did her best to make them feel comfortable. She even put my trash and recycling cans out on trash day and returned them to the garage. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and hands-on knowledge from raising and training my two labs since they were puppies. I understand the energy and patience pups need, as well as the care and gentleness senior dogs require. Growing up around dogs has given me a natural sense for their needs, and I treat every pet like part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I work from home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I already care for two active dogs, so our schedule includes regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I’m used to keeping pets engaged, exercised, and comfortable all day long. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, fenced yard and lots of playtime with my two active labs. We go on daily walks and have plenty of toys for enrichment. I’m experienced with crate training and can provide a cozy crate if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged.
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
About: I have been a pet care taker for over 15 years. I have helped family, friends & neighbors in need of quality pet care. It brings me absolute joy to care for pets while their families are away. As a stay-at-home mom, pet sitting is very flexible. Rather than treating caregiving like a traditional 9-to-5 job, I am able to build my schedule around my children’s routines, household responsibilities, and personal wellness, while still providing the upmost care for all pets. I have two fenced in large patio’s, plus I live in an area with plenty of grass to run around. I’m also not too far from a dog park if your pet allows for that. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I will be with your pet all day assuring they are safe and well cared for.
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,254 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort Lonesome. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Lonesome. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
