Kacie was so good with our dog, George who has quite a bit of anxiety. She was calm and patient with him and very attentive to his needs. She went above and beyond and was extremely communicative, timely and thorough!

About: Dog and cat owner. As pet parents it is our responsibility that our pets live a happy and healthy life. I give that to every animal that comes into my life! Currently working a hybrid schedule in a full-time role, so I’m home pretty often throughout the week! On the days I do go into the office, my mom stops by to take my dog for a walk and can give any dogs staying with me a midday break too. I have a super friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever who loves other dogs and is always happy to have a friend around! When I’m working from home, I’m here throughout the day and have plenty of time between meetings and projects for walks, playtime, attention, and lots of company. When boarding, I’m home outside of my office hours, and your dog will get lots of playtime, walks, attention, and plenty of time to just hang out and feel at home! My pets are my priority. I always make sure things are put away and out of grasp for my dog. Food is never left out, especially foods that may be harmful to pets. I limit those off of my shopping list as much as possible. When we have other dogs over, they are offered fresh water, treats if allowed and all the toys they could desire. If a dog is not allowed certain toys due to being a shredder or if the toy poses a choking hazard, those toys go in the closet. I’m very careful and attentive, while having fun with all dogs!

Maria took excellent care of my dog, Sully! She was prompt, has excellent communication skills, asked all the important questions, is clearly very knowledgeable about pets, immediately developed a great rapport with Sully and did a great job! We will definitely ask her to take care of Sully again. Thanks, Maria!

About: I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away. I'm available for drop-ins and overnights and happy to care for your home during the stay, watering plants, etc. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5 at Yale. Why I love pet sitting Who doesn't love some fuzzy company? And I understand from watching our family pets how disorienting a kennel can be. In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss. (In case you're wondering why my testimonials haven't been updated recently, it's because I took a break from Rover to be more available to sit for family and friends. Sadly, some of those lovely pets have passed away now. It means though that I have the availability to return to Rover and I'm happy to be back!) In my initial meeting with a family, I like to get a sense of the pet's routine to determine if I can recreate that for them while their parent is away. My schedule, aside from my 9-5, is dictated by the pet's needs. I prefer to care for a pet in their own home. Before accepting a new client, I like to meet the pet and the parent(s) to make sure we're all vibing. I determine routine/schedule/likes/dislikes with the parent(s) in advance and stay in touch if something needs to deviate, which is rare.

Jordan was a fantastic sitter who went above and beyond. In the initial meet and greet she asked all the right questions, and during the booking she always kept me up to date with detailed notes about my cat and happy photos. She was very accommodating when I had to extend my trip, and she was on top of things when some of the food ran low during the extended time. My cat is very happy and loves her! Will definitely book again as a trusted sitter.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over ten years. I grew up with a wheaten terrier who I loved for 14 years, and since then I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Whether your pup is playful, sensitive, or needs a calm, steady presence, I’m very comfortable adapting to what they need. Most clients book me for in-home dog care, as it allows dogs to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their routine. I offer structure, gentle companionship, and clear communication every step of the way so you can travel or work confidently, knowing your dog is happy and supported. I also work as a realtor, which means I’m extremely respectful in people’s homes and very used to handling keys, security systems, and property access professionally and discreetly. Pets warm to me quickly, and owners tell me they appreciate the calm confidence I bring to their home. Although I do offer boarding on occasion, my space is best suited for dogs that aren’t excessively vocal, as I live in a condo. All normal barking is perfectly fine — I just may not be the best match for dogs that howl or bark nonstop. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pup feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to add to my day with some exercise and fun with your dog(s)! I particularly make sure I am available at regular meal times for pets. I can provide companionship, exercise and care for your pet at your home or at my home. While I am out of the house for about 3-4 hours some days, I work from home a lot.

Rachel went above and beyond when caring for my dogs over the course of two days. She gave thorough updates and lots of pictures and videos. Our pups looked happy as can be while she was visiting! When we came back home, it was like we’d never left. Both dogs were super happy and content. Rachel’s prompt responses, care, and attention meant the world to us.

About: PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE BEFORE YOU BOOK AND CHECK THE CALENDAR AND SEE IF I AM AVAILABLE. THANK YOU! Hello! Thank you for your interest. I am located in beautiful Guilford on RT. 77. Very easy access from 95. Your dog MUST be house trained, vaccinated, and on flea/tick prevention. It is a quiet and small household and medium to low energy dogs do best here. We play fetch a lot and lots of walks in our big yard. I also walk a few miles a day and love the company! We also have a dog run. I take one dog at a time, so they get our total attention. We do not have any pets. PLEASE check my calendar for availability first. I do request a meet and greet, if you are a new client to make sure it is a good fit for us all. I do work Tue-Fri, so they MUST be ok home alone. Please make sure your dog's information is filled out prior to booking. We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you! I am a teacher. So I follow the teacher schedule (hrs, off time). The dog must be able to be left alone during the typical school hours. Pets are inside with me. When I go out I like to take the dog with me-car rides, walks, baseball games etc. If its too hot I do have central air.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8 and haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I spent the past 5 years living in NYC where I started dog walking and sitting part time before moving back to CT. I can handle all dogs of all ages and sizes. Accepting evening and weekend walks only. Same day / last minute bookings will be accepted depending on my availability. Fully booked for mid-day weekday walks. Kind and careful to all requests. Can take control in many different situations. Energetic and active where needed. Calming presence when it’s time to wind down.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life, and wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was little. I have worked at multiple humane societies caring for the dogs, and have an array of experience through schooling, and an externship at a Pet Clinic. I care deeply for animals of all types, and I would like to spend the rest of my life ensuring their wellbeing, and protection. I am confident that I can provide quality care for your furry babies, and make sure they are comfortable and happy! I have a keen eye for observing their behaviors/tendencies, so this will be important if they seem to be in pain or discomfort. I only want the best for your pet since I understand the importance of their companionship. I am currently traveling, so looking for some gig work while I’m on the East Coast, but usually I’m living in Hawaii and am self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I make sure to be patient with each animal and let them come to me. I won’t force them to be social, and will be aware of their behaviors to ensure safety and trust is built between us. Also being mindful of their interactions with other dogs or humans if they have any issues with them.

Tyler is just so great! She really goes the extra mile in taking care of my older cat - administering multiple medications, checking on her health, and just being extra sensitive to her needs. My normally shy cat really responds to all the extra love!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Guilford on Rover is $21.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,303 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Guilford. 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 Guilford. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
