“Emma was awesome! She took perfect care of my sweet kitties. It’s so hard to leave town because I worry about my pets, but Emma eased my mind by communicating with me daily and sending pictures. She also kept everything very tidy, which I really appreciate!”
“Sibel was wonderful with our cat Bubba. He seemed to really enjoy her visits while we were away - he would greet her at the door, sit to be combed and petted, and engaged in play with the cat toys, especially the laser pointer that Sibel brought…which I’m now going to buy one! I felt that Bubba was in the best of care with Sibel! ~ Gloria Porteous”
“This was our first time with Therese. We recently relocated and had to be gone for a few days. We have two very spoiled cats, one of which has not adjusted to the move. We were concerned about leaving them but Therese but all our worries to rest. She spent a lot of “love” time with them, made sure they had their medications, was prompt and communicative. We’ve now decided she needs to be our forever pet sitter😊 We are super happy with the care our cats received!”
“Jeff did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog who needs a little extra care. Jeff updated us on each visit. He met all of needs and allowed us to enjoy our time away!”
“Kendall was the best for my kitties! She took such good care of them, and she kept me updated the entire time with plenty of pictures. I felt at peace knowing my cats were in her care.”
“Destiny did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were away on vacation! She was dependable, communicative, and cared for our animals like they were her own. We came home to happy boys and a clean space. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”
“Brandon was able to help let our dogs out very last minute while we were in the middle of my husband’s change of duty station. Our pups love him and we are so grateful for his help. He communicates clearly and promptly, and sends the cutest pics of our pups! Thank you Brandon!”
“Danny is a loving caretaker for my young puppy. Danny met me ahead of our first appointment to get a clear understanding of the structure I’m training the puppy to follow and he does a great job of maintaining the structure, exercising the puppy to help release the midday energy. Danny is a great communicator and it’s clear he loves this work! I’m looking forward to Danny’s ongoing assistance as I need help maintaining healthy growing puppy routines while I’m at work during the day!”
“⭐️⭐️ROYAL ROVER STATUS⭐️⭐️ The Princesses Penny and Poppy would like it formally entered into the royal record that Anthony was an absolute treasure. When I had to leave on a last-minute work trip, Anthony came to attend to them whisker and paw **three whole times in less than 24 hours! As my little sister said **. He was reliable, kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive to their needs. Most impressively, Anthony accomplished what is not easily achieved with my rescue kittens: he got the girls to willingly come to him and even received physical affection. Photographic proof exists, so this was not a rumor, bribery, or wishful thinking. That level of trust says everything. He respected their personalities, made sure they were safe and cared for, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Knowing they were in such good hands made a stressful last-minute trip feel so much easier. Princess’s Poppy and Penny would like it known that Sir Anthony has officially earned the Princesses’ approval and has been promoted to trusted royal caretaker. We will absolutely book him again.”

“Madeline did a great job watching over my cat Mackie, she was super sweet, responsive, took good pictures and even went above and beyond and fed Mackie some extra wet food from their own collection when I ran out due to a slight miscommunication in instructions. Wonderful service and would book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I used to have a miniature Schnauzer and I always went over to my neighbor’s homes to care for their pets when they were out of town. I currently work 8-4 with a flexible work from home schedule and everyday I walk around my complex as exercise. My complex contains multiple dog parks so adding some company to it sounds like fun. Always approach the pet with calm and respect where ever they are. I’d play with them for a bit to get a sense of their behaviors and after put the collar on and take them to the assigned place for walking.
“Aleana is punctual, communicative and my cats new best friend! I will be setting up many more visits with her. Any worries I had about leaving my cat alone are completely gone and I can actually enjoy my time away knowing Bruce is in great hands. :)”
“Kathleen did an excellent job taking care of my little dog and she went above and beyond. Vito seems to love her! I’ll definitely hire her again in the future! Thanks for all your help, Kathleen!”

As of September 2026, there are 3,112 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fort McDowell. 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.

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.
