“Our two cats really liked Mickala. She went above and beyond helping us with several situations such as trimming a cat's nails and cleaning up some ants which got into the auto-feeders.”
“Highly recommend. Abigail was very knowledgeable and thorough, from our meet-n-greet, through the 10 days of caring for our kitties while we were away. The cats clearly loved her because they would follow her around the house every visit! She did an amazing job managing their care, and also took great care of our plants.”
About: I've worked in multiple areas of animal care including breeding and puppy development, dog daycare, and veterinary care. I have experience caring for all different breeds and ages of dogs! I don't have much professional experience with cats, but I have lived with many cats throughout my life and am a huge cat lover! I do not have any pets myself as I recently lost my dog. So i am in serious need of some dog time! I am available any time after 2:00pm sunday-thursday and all day friday and saturday(: some days i am available earlier than that, typically sundays and mondays im available around 12:30-1:00pm. I am happy to accommodate any of your pet's needs! I can walk, play, just give love, whatever makes your baby feel the most enriched and happy. I know every dog and cat has their own specific needs and I'm very dedicated to that! I live in a small studio apartment. There is plenty of great space to take walks near my house (i live right on the bike trail) but i do not have a fenced in yard. If this sounds like it could be suitable for your pet, i'm more than happy to board them(:
“Emily is amazing! She made friends with our standoffish scaredy-cat right away and has proved to be incredibly competent and responsive when we need her. We don't know what we would do without her!”
About: What truly sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them the same way I care for my own. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have five pets of my own, ranging in age from 1 to 16 years old. This has given me hands-on experience with everything from energetic young pets to senior animals who need extra patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m especially comfortable with: • Senior pet care (slower walks, medications, extra monitoring, gentle handling) • Understanding different temperaments (shy cats, high-energy dogs, routine-driven pets) • Maintaining routines so pets feel safe and stress-free while you’re away As a teacher and mom of 3, I’m naturally responsible, organized, and detail-oriented, which means I follow instructions carefully and communicate clearly. You can expect consistent updates, reliability, and a calm, patient approach with your pets. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved, because I know they’re family. Pet care is a consistent and valued part of my routine. During the school year, I offer reliable evening and weekend availability, ideal for dinner-time visits and check-ins. In the summer (late June–August), I expand to weekday availability as well. As a teacher, I’m naturally punctual, dependable, and detail-oriented, so you can count on consistent, high-quality care and clear communication every visit. At this time I do not offer overnight services. I am happy to accept drop-in services at a variety of times throughout the day to help care for your dog or cat.
“So happy I found Daniel because I know June is getting all kinds of love, attention and mental and physical exercise. He’s a real pro and clearly loves what he does.”
“Our dog and cat Cooper and Lucky both adore Annika and we always feel like they are left in fantastic animal loving hands when we are away. They couldn't be cared for any better. She is fabulous!”
“This is the second time that I used Amad to care for my cats, he has been great, will stay and play with them, easy to reach and will quickly respond . Overall we highly recommended .”
“Shawna did a wonderful job caring for our 17 year old, blind and ailing old cat as well as caring for our farm. We were able to relax and not worry. We received pictures and updates from each visit, which was a huge comfort. We recommend highly and without reservation!”
About: Fur mama to two kitties, besties with my roommates’ frenchie, and a proud fur auntie to many! I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, and reptiles, allowing me to develop a deep love for all animals. I've had various experience with house and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I've got plenty of experience with bathing, administering medications, trimming nails, cleaning up messes, and keeping animals enriched/entertained. I trust that you know how to care for your pets best and will follow instructions carefully, always asking clarifying questions if needed. I have a special place in my heart for those that are elderly and/or more shy/anxious that may need more time to warm up to folks. I'm honored to be considered for the care of your fur baby and look forward to meeting them. :) A little about me: I'm a 30 year old grad student pursuing an MSW at Smith College and will be graduating this summer to become a therapist. I spend my free time walking, journaling, reading, and traveling. I have two kitties who I rescued from shelters that have become my shadow - they follow me all over the home and I happily keep them entertained with lots of love, play time, and prompt meal times. With every client, I strive to be the type of sitter you'll want to rave about to your friends/family about and that your pet adores. Clients who book me to housesit for 7+ nights or 5+ walks/drop-ins get a complimentary personalized pawty favor from me! I am currently an MSW student at Smith College, my general availability is as follows: Sunday: All Day Monday: 11a-1p, 4-9pm Tuesday: 11a-1p, 4-9pm Wednesday: 8a-9pm Thursday: 1-9pm Friday: 1-9pm Saturday: All Day I prefer in-person Meet & Greets so that we can discuss the expectations we have for each other and your pet can get familiar with me. I'll want to know your pet's history of aggression, anxiety or bad habits so that we can prepare and have the appropriate plan in action for potential incidents. Tell me everything! I like being prepared for it all. I treat all animals under my supervision with as much love & care as I treat my own.
About: I have cared and worked with cats and dogs since a young age. I will take my time to get to know your animals and they will trust and look forward to seeing me! I work as an educator, so my summer is open and super flexible. In July, I will be working from 8:30am - 12pm Monday through Thursday. Either way, I am a morning person. I love waking up and relaxing on the couch with the animals drinking some coffee or tea, and then spending the day on the couch or outside running around depending on their mood. I fully communicate with clients to ensure set boundaries and specific pet care needs. I can be hands on and active, or simply a presence in the room to ease anxiety.
About: Have owned dogs for over 20 years, pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I am over cautious and protective when it comes to animals, I'm also active so love walking dogs, throwing a ball for them, or taking them to our local lake for a swim. I have tons of patience for shy dogs, I have dealt with rescue dogs and know when to get close or not to an animal. I have never had an incident where I have had a dog become aggressive with me. I have taken my own dog to obedience school a few times and learned a few key trips for working with difficult dogs or puppies. I have taken care of puppies within the past three years and am comfortable with the extra care they require. I have a solid connection with our local vet and emergency animal hospital and am able to handle dogs who need shots or medications administered. I work from home and have several pets already needing care. Bathroom breaks, walks, ball throwing, catnip time, all of it already happens in my home. We have several pet fences within our home and a puppy proof first floor. If a pet is okay of leash then we walk them around our 4 acres throwing a ball or whatever the pet likes. If a pet is not okay off leash, then we just walk them on a leash on our land every 1.5 or 2 hours or as needed. Water bowls are everywhere, no chemicals are on site within reach of curious puppies, and no cars move very quickly on our driveway and everyone who does arrive at our home knows we have several pets and need to slow down. We have owned dogs for over 25 years and have never had any of our pets get injured.
“Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our two cats were happy and cared for while we were on vacation for the week. Loved the daily updates. We felt so relaxed knowing our guys were in great hands! Thanks for everything Alexis!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, and as a family we fostered and rescued multiple dogs. I’ve personally taken care of dogs for years, for family and friends. I’ve done overnights, feeding, walking, etc. Also super comfortable with cats! I’m currently studying to take the NPTE and have plenty of time to help take care of your furry friends! Weekdays are best but I am available weekends as needed. Currently living with my lovely dog Kona. Unfortunately, she is a very jealous and anxious senior pup who does not get along well with other dogs therefore I cannot offer services at my home.
About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 456 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Goshen. 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 Goshen. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
