“My pets Daisy and Missy were very happy when Delany would make her daily visits. Delany was always on time and very conscientious with making sure the kitties had fresh food and water and clean litter boxes. Delany went the extra and made sure they had lots of playtime and most important sent me lots of pictures with her update. I’m very happy with the care my pets received with Delany and would love to have her care for my kitties the next time I travel.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and Luie made it an absolutely amazing experience! He took such wonderful care of our kitties and completely put our minds at ease. Our biggest concern was making sure our oldest cat, Skittles, received medication, but Luie was able to administer it successfully and without any problems. He sent us lots of pictures and regular updates while we were away. It felt incredibly reassuring to know our cats were truly cared for so we did not have to worry at all. Luie is a fantastic sitter, and we highly recommend him to anyone!!”

About: Ive owned dogs and cats since I was seven years old and grew up around animals my entire life. I currently have two large dogs and one medium dog that I trained and take care of. I have house sat for three families, with two medium to large dogs and a family with a medium dog and a puppy, each for a week at a time. I am comfortable with all animals including reptiles and can confidently handle large dogs. More than the physical aspects of caring for animals, I love to love on them with lots of pets and affection. Many animals are drawn to me despite being hesistant or fearful of people. I have a passion for training and correcting dogs with a calm and patient demeanor. I am dedicated to learning and studying dog body language to strengthen my understanding, care, and training for them. I am following my passion of working with animals, starting with work here on Rover. I am striving to someday start my own training and boarding business. I am available 4 days per week for all of your pet care needs. I am able to spend long amounts of time with your pet as needed. Weekends and most weekdays can be available upon request even if they are marked unavailable depending on the animal and needs. I do not currently offer any pet services in my home. While in your home, I am trustworthy and honest. I always treat all animals as my own and show lots of care and affection! I will let the animals out, feed them, water them, exercise and play with them. And of course give them lots of pets! If your pet makes a mess or has an accident, I will always clean it up and let you know.

About: Over the past several months, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hartly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 341 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hartly. 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 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 Meet & Greet .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartly. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
