About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic pets that need active walks and playtime, as well as shy or older pets that need a calmer approach and extra patience. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, cleanliness, and making sure pets feel relaxed and loved. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy building trust with animals. I’m reliable, communicative, and I treat every pet like family. I also understand how important updates are for pet parents, so I make sure to send photos and messages so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I’m very attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality and needs. I live in a nice apartment community with plenty of green areas for walks and a dog park nearby, which is great for exercise and outdoor time. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, creating a safe and relaxing environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I am an avid animal lover who has seven dogs and two cats of her own. I love taking care of all animals and giving them the best life they can possibly have. All of my animals have had different personalities, so I know how to deal with all different types of animals and adjust to their needs. I’ve also fostered a number of dogs and am patient working with dogs that come from a variety of backgrounds and quirks! I am currently working remotely full-time, so I have the ability to hang out and play with the animals all day! I can keep an eye on all of them throughout the day and bring them outside to play or hang out in the fenced yard! I have a fenced yard, a gate to cover any stairs in case the animal cannot be near stairs, plenty of animal beds, food bowls, water, toys, etc. I also have three large dog crates if needed.
“As always, I feel so confident that my kitty is taken care of when Kaleigh is around! She sends super detailed updates and I can truly relax on vacation. Highly recommend her for your next sitting!”

“Alyssa did a wonderful job checking on our pup while we were away. She did a great job communicating how our girl was doing. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats for over seven years and currently share my home with two dogs and two cats, so I understand all the different personalities, quirks, and needs that come with each furry friend. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and energy levels and have five years of experience as a dog owner myself. I’m comfortable giving medications to both cats and dogs, keeping routines consistent, and adjusting my care style based on your pet’s unique character, whether they’re shy, playful, energetic, or a senior who prefers gentle company. Above all, I’m loving, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I do my best to schedule them around my work meetings. I’m happy to follow your pet’s feeding, walk, and medication routines exactly as you prefer. I can’t host pets in my home due to roommates, so all of my care takes place in your pet’s own environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’m very mindful of routines and instructions, and I make sure doors, gates, and feeding schedules are always handled carefully. Since I work from home, I can coordinate visits around my work meetings and spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!”

“My kitties remembered Megan since her last visit of almost 2 months ago that made me feel so good. She is very good with the kitty cats and does a great job taking care of them. I am so pleased to have found Megan as my kitty sitter.”

About: I have grown up around dogs since a child and have a passion for taking care of them. I have my own dog who loves playing with others and she would love the company! I have Sundays & Mondays off and I have a pup who is 7 years old that wouldn't hurt a fly. We would love company & play time on my days off :) I allow pets to roam freely and they are allowed on furniture. I have a porch that is fenced in and give walks around my complex frequently. I have toys and treats but feel free to bring their fav :) I pay attention and make sure they are not in harms way and treated with love and care.
“Adriana was very communicative and prompt. She completed every guideline and provided photos and videos of all drop ins. I will use her services again and again. Adriana is very professional and you can tell she loves animals.”

“Yuridia saved us after our regular sitter didn't show up or return our calls, we were already gone and I was left scrambling after our flight landed. She answered quickly and she communicated clearly when she had to adjust one of the drop in times and made sure they would be good with the delay.”

About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in Austin and the Bay Area in California, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I I work from home as a writer/reasercher on my own flexible schedule. i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered both and been a cat owner. I have also helped friends and acquaintances with their pets while they are away. My experience includes walking dogs, scooping 💩, changing litter boxes, providing food and play to pets, and completing general house sitting tasks. I have also administered eye medications to kittens before and allergy meds to dogs. I have also lived on a couple of farms and helped take care of horses, goats, chickens, and even a rabbit. I would love to take care of your pet and offer you the peace of mind to know I will love on and care for them as if they were my own :) I’m self-employed, so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. Specifically, I am a Certified Public Accountant who quit her consulting job to become a part-time farmer! I am currently operating my own micro-farm growing organic vegetables and flowers in South Austin which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I am available for boarding, house-sitting, pet walking and drop-in visits to feed and play with cats and dogs (and other animals on a case by case basis). I am happy to visit and care for a variety of pets by feeding and playing with them as well as helping with any household tasks including plant watering, checking the mail and throwing out trash/recycling. I am currently living in a tiny home on my own on a large plot of land with plenty of access to unfenced outdoor space if you are interested in boarding your pets. I am also very happy to come to your home for drop-in visits and/or to stay overnight if you and your pets would be more comfortable with that option. For dogs, I am happy to spend time indoors with them playing with toys and giving them good belly scratches as well as take them outdoors either into the backyard and/or on walks. I have experience both with big dogs including a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees lab mix, Australian Shepherds, and shelter dogs as well as smaller dogs including a Teacup Pomeranian and an Iggie. I’m very active, so if your dog has a lot of energy and likes to go on runs, I am happy to run with them as well. For cats, I am happy to match their energy levels - if they are playful and energetic, I engage with them and encourage play. If they prefer to sleep or rest or are more shy, I am happy to just be around and pet them/brush them if they would like or just give them space. I am happy to care for other pets if requested and I am comfortable with the care instructions. I have previously cared for a tortoise, which mainly consisted of feeding him and giving him water.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 3,566 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 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.

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.
