“Terry was an awesome pet sitter for my kitty! She is super nice, we met before she took care of my kitty while I was gone camping for a couple of days. She sent me pictures, and my kitty really loved her! I recommend her highly, and will definitely book her again. Thank you, Terry!”
About: I work an 8-5PM Monday thru Friday. I have an hour lunch from 12-1PM so I can drops in before work, during lunch, and after work. I’m also available on weekends. During drop ins, I prioritize your cat's safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure doors and windows are secure, refresh food and water, scoop the litter box, and check that your cat is acting normally. I'll spend quality time playing, cuddling (if they enjoy it), or simply keeping them company, while ensuring their environment is clean, calm, and hazard free. I'll also send you updates and photos after each visit so you know your cat is happy and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine heart, deep responsibility, and detail oriented focus I bring to caring for your beloved pets and home. I treat every animal like family, whether guiding energetic puppies, providing gentle, patient senior dog care, comforting cozy cats, or tending to sweet small critters of all kinds. My background across diverse, fast-paced roles has made me inherently organized, proactive, and exceptionally attentive to detail. You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing that I think through every single step from maintaining your pet’s exact daily routine to ensuring your doors, windows, and gates are double checked, locked, and fully secure. I take pride in providing reliable, loving attention customized to your pet’s unique personality while treating your sanctuary with total respect. With frequent photo updates and clear communication, I offer top tier care, safety, and heartfelt affection so you can be away without worry. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which leaves my weekends completely open for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. Having used Rover myself while traveling, I know firsthand how vital it is to have a safe, dependable person to care for your pets, especially critters who get stressed when traveling and away from home. I love being able to support my community, give owners total peace of mind, and build lifelong bonds with sweet furry friends and their families. While in a client's home, my top priority is keeping your pet's routine consistent, safe, and stress free. I maintain their exact feeding, walking, and medication schedules while making sure they get plenty of affection, play, and gentle attention. I treat your home with the utmost respect always double-checking that doors, windows, and gates are fully locked and secure before leaving. From fresh water and clean litter boxes to daily photo updates, I ensure your pets stay happy in their comfortable environment while giving you total peace of mind.
About: I've been raising service dogs for Canine Companions since 2016! I have experience with puppies aged 2 months and up. I've been best friends with a GSD for the past almost 5 years! I'm very patient and understanding with anxious and stressed dogs due to my experience with my pup. I'm currently full availble for the summer, but will be a full time student starting in early August. I've got classes all day Mondays and Wednesdays, and I host studio hours on Saturdays. I'm very comfortable with crating dogs and walking high energy dogs. My dog is a runner and tries to escape, so I'm very familiar with keeping a close eye on dogs that are a little too excited!
About: I've been taking care of animals including wildlife and exotic species for over 5 years. I'm trained in medication administration (including injections) as well as dietary restrictions; I have certificates in Clinical Animal Behavior and Cooperative Care Training with an understanding of how to manage behavioral needs. I take care of my cats every day with assistance from my mom when I'm out of the house; I also do Petsitting and dog walking on a weekly basis. I work full time and do this as a supplement to my income, and to spend time getting to know your pets! I follow instructions carefully, including medication administration needs; I introduce myself to animals slowly and with lots of positive reinforcement to create a healthy relationship. I listen to owner's needs regarding their animal and do my best to be flexible.
About: I’ve always been comfortable around animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets for friends and family whenever needed. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to routines, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care. I enjoy making time in my routine to care for animals and give them the attention they deserve! I currently work, but I’m happy to coordinate visits around my schedule to make sure your pets receive consistent, reliable care. I understand how important routines are for animals, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their feeding schedules, playtime, and other daily needs. I value communication and will always confirm my availability before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep their environment clean, provide fresh food and water, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 36 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Freshwater. 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.
