Alexa was a perfect sitter for us! She is professional, nice, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. And most importantly, our cat absolutely loved her! We will be using her services again.

Gianna is absolutely wonderful! She took such beautiful care of my kitty, and was so understanding and communicative with some last minute unforeseen changes. I’m looking forward to my next trip so Tom (Kitty) can visit with her again!

There are no words too describe how wonderful Candace was with our two Girls (dogs)! They were very well taken care of in the absence of their parents and all directions were followed perfectly! Have no doubts in booking Candace for your pet sitting needs! I will definitely be reaching out to Rover again and selecting her for all my future needs! Becky

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: Please take into consideration the quality of your pet sitter over a low rate inexperienced "pet lover" that just wants to watch animals . There's a difference. "RATES LISTED HERE ARE BASIC RATES- THEY MAY BE ADJUSTED ON A CASE BY CASE SCENARIO (UP OR DOWN) DEPENDING ON THAT ANIMALS PARTICULAR NEEDS" *******IMO- ANIMALS trump most people 😁 I Specialize in special needs animals & alternative ways to treat that aren't offered by most vets due to my life long experience , I know what works. I also am fond on taking care of any & all animals including horses and farm animals. Right down to guinea pigs n snakes of all kinds. If you need dog boarding, as long as I have notice I can make myself available & home 24/7 ** I work M-F daily, so any animal I can work into my schedule is a great fit. I cannot do daily letting out of dogs unless I have NOTICE (deposit required) I am open to ANY animal watched in my home if that is preferential. I can also "stay" in your home outside of my daily work schedule I'm in a huge farm house, large yard and except for weekly job am always home for one on one. Im extremely close to my local vet and have dealt with many different situations.

Bayli did a wonderful job with my pups!! We had her come for several home visits a day to care for my senior dogs. She was fantastic about sending me great photos of them and giving them lots of love. I was nervous to leave them as one of my dogs has an illness that requires some special care. Bayli took such good care of her that I was able to be away from home without being constantly worried. I would use her again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend her services, I was very impressed!

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly understand that every pup is different. I trained my own stubborn Yorkie with patience and consistency, and I currently care for my senior Golden Retriever who has hip issues so I’m experienced with both energetic young dogs and gentle, slower-paced seniors. Whether your dog needs structured walks, positive reinforcement, or a calm and patient pace, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy every step of the way. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure you feel completely comfortable while your pup is in my care. I’d love to meet your best friend! 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule. I prioritize staying active and structured in my days — I regularly go to the gym and attend Bible study — which allows me to consistently plan walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, including weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute or same-day requests when possible. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important trust is, and I treat every dog with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I've had multiple pets for the past 15 years. My husband and I have 3 cats and recently just adopted a 3 month old German Shepherd/Rottweiler pup that we’re absolutely in love with. I understand the importance of having play time for pets and will be more than willing to play a near endless game of fetch and anything else to help stretch their legs - and if your furbabies prefer to just snuggle for a bit and get some love, I am perfectly content with that, too! I am currently living in Green Park and have flexible availability, including both weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to pet-sit, as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I'm a pretty friendly, outgoing, and energetic person who just loves animals (: I currently am only working in-person on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday so I have some flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I can easily help on weeknights, as well. My backyard is fully fenced. If your pet does better in a crate, I am okay with doing this as well if it is what you do in your own environment. Anything I can do to keep your pet on their normal routine with you is what I strive to do. Consistency helps a lot with pets being in a different environment or just with a different person in general.

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

Alexa was great with my elder kitty. Normally she doesn't like new people and hides from anyone who isnt me, but with Alexa she came up to her and even ate a treat right out of her hand. Check ins were all prompt and she took the time to try to play with her each day in addition to making sure she was well fed and had a cleaned box.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Goodenow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Goodenow on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,891 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Goodenow. 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 Goodenow. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
