I highly recommend booking with Erica! She was punctual and was great with the dogs. She also dropped in again on one of the days when we had an emergency. We’re so glad she was there, especially since one of our boys was having a rough time during his last days.

Layla is AWESOME SAUCE!! My kitties are typically "anti-humam other than mommy", but one of my kitties actually made contact with her several times. Layla is very sweet, she's observant, she's thoughtful, she's polite, and she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I'm so happy I was able to find her to look after my babies while I was away. I wasn't worried one bit because I knew she was dropping in on them while I was gone, and she took very good care of them!

About: What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I bring to every pet. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including pets who may be shy, older, or need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available to board pets most days of the week. I spend most of my time studying at home and I’m available during most days for a walk or a visit. I have a large fenced yard and live in an area with lots of parks and walkability. I also have some limited availability to care for your pet in your own home if desired.

About: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.

Gacenta did an excellent job. She worked with us when the power went out and our dogs were alone in the house while we were away. She changed her schedule to come back after the locksmith opened the door.

Our kitties don't really like strangers, but they seemed to warm up to Carla based on the photos and updates she shared. They definitely seemed less stressed than when we've gone out of town in the past, so I know they were well cared for. We'll definitely have Carla watch them again!

About: I've taken care of a wide array of dogs ranging in size, age, and breed. I've fed, bathed, and trained dogs ranging from Yorkshire Terriers to Golden Doodles to German Shepherds. I currently attend morning classes from 8:30-11:30 Monday through Fridays so times in the afternoon typically after 1:00 is most suitable. My schedule shifts on weekends as I do not attend classes on those days but I do prefer to care for animals in the morning or early afternoon. While I do have two animals of my own, both my dogs are trained and do not bite. However, should I pet-sit for someone, my animals would stay on a different level of my house than the animal I'm watching to avoid any problems. I have a dog gate blocking access to my kitchen and free space for any animals to roam free if they want.

About: I have years of diverse experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I have successfully managed everything from turtles and small Yorkies to large, powerful breeds like Cane Corsos and Perro de Presa Canarios. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, an energetic puppy, or a calm adult cat, they are in safe hands with me! Specialized Training & Behavior Skills I specialize in helping energetic or anxious pets thrive. I’ve fostered a high-energy dog who struggled with indoor accidents, intense barking, and jumping. Through patience and consistency, I successfully: House-trained her to transition off pee pads to going completely outdoors. Socialized her to significantly reduce barking at strangers, children, and other animals. Used daily walks and mental stimulation to redirect her energy and curb jumping. Animals naturally sense my calm energy and tend to bond with me instantly. I’m looking forward to giving your pet(s) the loving, individualized, attentive care they deserve! Early mornings and evenings are currently best for me during the week and anytime on weekends; however, I am willing to negotiate and work with you if you let me know you and your pet(s)'s needs. My goal is to satisfy the needs and comfort of each owner and pet. If your pet enjoys company, I am able to provide that.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !

Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Goddard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 8,318 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Goddard. 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 Goddard. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
