“Madison was a great pet sitter for our two cats, Bear and Goose! She was incredibly responsible and attentive, making sure both cats were well-fed, entertained, and loved while we were away. She provided us with daily updates and adorable photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away without any worries. Madison followed our instructions to a tea to keep their routine consistent, and we returned home to two very happy and relaxed cats :) We highly recommend Madison to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals since middle school but began taking it more seriously around 13-14. I’ve animal sat elderly dogs with special needs, puppies, and mostly small dogs! But I’ve also happily watched cats, rodents, birds, and fish so all animal friends are welcome! Excited to meet you and your best friends. I love animals and honestly any excuse to meet new ones is very exciting. I can always work Sundays and Fridays and I have time Tuesday and wednesday evenings to check in on them when needed or go on a little walk. My cat is fed 3 times a day for a total of 2/3 cup of food, he has a play routine before bed, is let on the balcony for fresh air with his harness and a line connected to the door so he cannot get to the edge of the concrete. He takes his flea meds every month, and goes to the vet every 6 for a little check in as he’s on a small weight loss journey. I work 6-8hrs a day 5 days a week but luckily he has a a cat roommate to nap and play with while I’m gone

About: I’ve been raising and caring for dogs since I was 10, especially pit bulls. I have hands-on experience helping with dog births and caring for puppies. I have three dogs of my own: a micro French Bulldog, a Chihuahua, and a Pit Bull. I’ve also worked at Taurus Academy, which gave me additional experience around dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs patience, love, and proper care. I’m comfortable around different breeds and want every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I have flexibility in my schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to discuss feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care routines to fit your pet’s needs. I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of supervision, patience, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s space clean, and make sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m also happy to discuss any special needs or safety concerns before providing care.

Wouldn’t stop raving about her when we got back— haha. Always was diligent about sending me updates and photos, and seems like they got plenty of play time. Will absolutely be utilizing her services again!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

About: With 3 years of pet care experience, I've watched and walked dogs of all sizes and ages. At home, I have my own young pup, so I'm happy to match your dog's energy—active walks or relaxed couch time." My schedule is wide open right now, so I can offer flexible availability for any walks, drop-ins, or sitting—including weekdays, evenings, and last-minute requests. :) I don't have a private yard, but my apartment complex offers plenty of space, and I'm close to great parks like Zilker for walks and playtime. At home, my own senior cat is calm and sleeps most of the day, while my pup is energetic but well crate trained, so your pet will be in a safe, comfortable environment.

About: My background is in farm care including large and small farm animals, plant care, large dog breeds, and cats for the past 14 years. I have 13 siblings I also spent time caring for as I am the oldest girl! My mother was a professional dog groomer who housed many dogs on and off, as well as my grandmother owning a farm I spent alot of time working on. I have closely worked with many breeds including great danes, irish wolfhounds, huskies, pitbulls, german shepherds, chihuahuas, poodles, and pomeranians. Educationally I have taken classes in child development, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical terminology, health science, CPR certification, and HIPAA certification. In my personal home I have my sweet babygirl (kitty) I take care of as well as my 4 aquatic turtles! I believe with all my skillsets combined and my genuine enjoyment in animal care, I am a great fit! I only have restrictions on weekdays until 3pm. Weekends and Weekdays besides that time are open availability. I have plenty of extra time to spend doing something I enjoy! I take my safety seriously as well as the safety of anything I am entrusted with. I am a very vigilant person who will ask questions, communicate, and put safety above all else.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the personalized and professional care I provide to every pet. I am a professional dog groomer, which allows me to recognize specific needs related to skin, coat, and overall well-being. I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment so pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience with puppy care and basic training, as well as senior dog care, including gentle handling, extra patience, medication routines, and special needs attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their happiness, safety, and well-being. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I organize my schedule around each pet’s needs. I plan visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins consistently to maintain their normal routine and reduce stress. I make sure every pet receives dedicated attention, proper care, and a calm, safe environment, whether it’s a daily visit or ongoing weekly care I care for pets exclusively in my home, providing a clean, calm, and safe environment. I maintain each pet’s daily routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and rest. I offer constant supervision, personalized attention, and a low-stress atmosphere so pets feel comfortable and secure during their stay. My priority is always their well-being, comfort, and safety. 🐾🐱

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

Amarantha had amazing communication with us throughout the entire drop in session, sent us lots of pictures and even got my cat to play with a certain toy that he NEVER plays with. She put a lot of care and love into my animals and we will definitely be reaching out to her again :)

Soren always goes above and beyond when watching our cat (and cats when we had two). He is attentive to their needs and gives us updates on how they are doing. He notes any changes in their behavior and is willing to be flexible in finding the best way to make them comfortable. Soren has been our go-to sitter for a few years now and we always feel confident leaving pets in his care. He is responsive to messages, so if you have any issues/questions, or need to make changes to the booking, it's easy to hammer everything out quickly. My little diva of a cat has even warmed up to him, and that is a pretty impressive accomplishment.

Kaleigh is my go to cat sitter! My kitty Mousse loves having her around. She always takes great care of mousse, getting him fresh water, cleaning out his litter box, to even hanging out with him a little bit longer just to give him loves. So happy I can rely on her to always be there for mousse!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,614 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Garfield. 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 Garfield. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 , 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.
