About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 2021. I worked at a couple of doggy daycare facilities, and I worked at a vet clinic as a kennel assistant for a year. I am currently home over the summer from school. My schedule is available every day to help take care of your animals. I am willing to come in to check up on your animals 2 to 3 times a visit and I can give them enough time to socialize. Anytime I will enter the clients home. I will make sure the door is locked. I will make sure to leave your house clean and spotless.

About: As a Kennel Worker and Veterinary Assistant at Crosspointe Animal Hospital, I fed and exercised animals, cleaned kennels and treatment areas, safely restrained pets during exams and procedures, assisted with vaccinations and routine treatments, monitored animals for signs of illness or injury, and updated veterinarians on patient conditions. I also interacted with pet owners and helped ensure animals received attentive, compassionate care. I am always available, and pet care fits easily into my routine. I can adjust my schedule as needed to provide consistent feeding, cleaning, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day or week without conflict. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, maintain feeding and litter box routines, secure doors and entry points, and monitor behavior closely. My experience with both domestic and feral cats at an animal hospital, along with cat-sitting for friends, has taught me to use calm, patient handling to build trust and ensure each pet feels secure and well cared for.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have owned and cared for two different types of dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily feeding, exercise, playtime, and general pet care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have dog-sat for multiple families and have experience managing the needs of several dogs at once. I have also provided cat-sitting services, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets closely during walks and playtime, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: All my life I have cared for many different kinds of dogs. There was never a time when my family didn’t have atleast 3 dogs! I currently live on a farm with goats, bunnies, dogs and cats! I always make it a priority to walk my dogs as much as I can. I am very patient with my dogs and try my best to keep them trained while also having fun! Currently, my only commitments are within my graduate program, and I volunteer at a horse farm once a week. My weekends are completely free, as well as most of my mornings and early afternoons. All of my pets are so loved, and I will make sure your fur babies feel loved as well. I know how much a pet means to an owner, and I will make it my priority to give your pets the best care based on their needs and your wants!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Grottoes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Grottoes is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 403 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Grottoes. 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 .

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.
