About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. My hands-on pet care experience includes: Senior Dog Care & Special Needs: Over a decade of caring for senior dogs—including my own 10-year-old Chiweenie—so I’m deeply familiar with gentle handling, administering oral medications, adjusting to slower mobility, and sticking strictly to sensitive dietary routines. Feline Companionship: Experience managing feeding schedules, fresh litter maintenance, playful engagement, and reading cat body language to ensure they feel safe, calm, and respected on their own terms. Daily Walking & Exercise: Dependable, safety-focused dog walking structured around your pup's energy level—from brisk neighborhood walks to relaxed sniffing strolls. Balancing work, family, and daily commitments means my schedule is structured, reliable, and predictable. Because I manage my daily routines with clear flexibility, I can seamlessly integrate high-quality pet care into every morning, afternoon, and evening. Peace of Mind: Complete in-home reliability with clear communication and detailed daily photo updates after every visit, so you always know your fur baby is safe and content.
“Michele did a wonderful job caring for Takoda! Was very quick to respond, and was able to help us on VERY short notice as our original sitter cancelled. Very kind and attentive to the pups needs, we forgot to put a water bowl in the room our dog was staying in, she asked if that was something he needed. Sent photo updates with each visit which helped us see Takoda was happy and comfortable hanging on the couch with her. He has some anxiety when it comes to other dogs, Michele did a great job of following our special instructions for him to make sure he stayed safe. Was kind enough to collect our mail for us as well, as I had a package delivered while we were gone. Very happy with her services, will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve owned senior animals that have needed meds. I give medications and take care of peoples animals daily as an icu vet tech. I’m relied on to take care of everything from stable to critical animals. I currently work full time but only work 3 days a week and could use something to do in my free time. Taking care of animals is something I love to do. I can do anything that is needed to be done from giving insulin to walking your animals. If you need a litter box cleaned or a cat to be pilled that’s not a problem either.
“Rowyn was absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her compassion, professionalism and how fantastic she was with my two almost 17 year old kitties! They require oral medication every day, which can be challenging, and on the first day, one was being difficult and refusing the medication, I had told her she could leave since she had already been there longer than the standard allotted drop-in visit time, but she was determined to make sure they both had their medication and was patient and stayed until they both finally took the medication. She absolutely went above and beyond, and was so attentive, so communicative and sent so many pictures! She always arrived on time, despite my saying the timing was flexible! She is someone we completely trusted with the care of our cats and also felt 100% comfortable coming and going from our house. She also went above and beyond and even did some cleaning so when we got home from vacation, we had nothing to worry about!! I cannot recommend Rowyn more highly! Thank you Rowyn for giving us so much peace of mind while away!! Will absolutely book with Rowyn again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16—starting with neighbors’ cats and dogs and sharing a dog with my sister in college. Now, at 26, I bring a decade of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of pet needs. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets—from energetic puppies needing training and playtime to senior dogs/cats who require gentle care and extra attention. I treat every animal like family and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and patient. I work from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons and evenings to give your dog plenty of attention. After work, I love including dogs in my outdoor adventures—whether that’s a long walk, a run, or some playtime at the park. On weekends, I’m flexible and happy to spend extra time making sure your pet gets all the exercise, cuddles, and care they need. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in my home for friends before, and they’ve always felt comfortable and happy here. My house has a safe front yard where pets can play and explore, and there’s a park nearby for walks and adventures. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets relaxed, engaged, and well cared for with plenty of attention, exercise, and love.
About: Hi, Welcome!! As a dedicated animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I provide responsible, loving care so pet owners can feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and attention, I make sure every pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I currently work Full time , Monday-Thursday. I am off Friday-Sunday every week. I am however, happy to make accommodation as needed, communication is key and I’m happy to help to the best of my ability!

About: Hi! I’m Viviana, I'm in my mid-30s and I love pets. I have had dogs most of my life, I have had cats for 10 years, and I have years of pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages from playful kittens and energetic pups to senior pets who need a slower, gentler approach. I genuinely just love animals. There is no where I'd rather be most days than on the couch watching a movie with my dog and my cat. I treat every animal like my own, with respect, affection, and consistency. I have a calm, steady presence, and I make sure each pet’s unique routine and comfort are honored, whether that means quiet companionship, extra playtime, or careful medication (though I'm not a vet or a vet tech). I would love to be able to offer that to your baby while you're traveling or when you just need a little extra support. My schedule is pretty flexible for petsitting. I'm available during the week from 10 am to 7 pm, and on weekends and holidays except for the week of Thanksgiving 2025 when I will be out of town. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and will learn their unique personalities to care for them as well as possible. I'm as happy to take a pup on a long walk as I am hanging out with a cat on the couch while I play a video game. I have a cat that’s used to having dogs around, and sometimes I have my small dog at home with me; she’s sweet and friendly.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Gunpowder is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
