Delaney was wonderful. It made me feel better knowing they could stop in to care for my dog when I had a last minute work event come up. They sent great pictures and were very communicative. And put up with all my information as a nervous owner.

Gianna was very sweet and patient with Ellie. She stuck with the schedule and tried to reinforce safe puppy play but redirecting with toys when Ellie would bite.

About: With 10+ years of caring pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and more—I treat every animal like my own. I bring patience, reliability, and always want to learn each pet’s quirks and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, basic training, or medication, I provide loving care with regular photo and text updates to keep you updated and connected. I have a flexible schedule! I’m open to any time, day, or length your pets need care. So house-sitting and overnights work great for me! I guarantee your pets will receive plenty of love, walks, and pets when I’m there. When caring for your pets, I will make sure to keep their routines as consistent as possible—from walks and activities to mealtimes and medicine. I respect your home and space by keeping it clean and secure so both you and your pets feel comfortable and safe. I also enjoy sending photo and text updates to keep you updated and connected!

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.

As always, Nicole did a fabulous job. This time we were international and because Nicole was so trustworthy, professional, and outstanding in shorter visits in the past, we felt totally comfortable asking her to care for our senior cats for two weeks—they’re a handful as two need prescription diets and one was on medication. Nicole took excellent care of them. I’d trust her any time.

Hannah definitely took care of my babies as if they were her own. My crew was very comfortable with her and loved her. They needed medication and she was definitely comfortable giving them their meds. I will definitely book her again in the future!

Elizabeth checked all the boxes on her drop-ins for my cat. She gave me confidence that my cat and apartment were okay while being gone for a week. She even went the extra mile by asking if my smoke detector was working. Very pleased.

Samantha was great! Our normally reserved cat took an instant liking to her. And from the photos Samantha sent, we could tell our cat was having a blast during their playtime. Will definitely book with Samantha again!!

Tiffani was so responsible and receptive to my “shy” guys. I was so relieved going out of town and using a new care person for the first time in four years to get the feeling that all was being done as if I were home. Takes a lot of pressure off the normal stress of being away from home.

About: Throughout high school and now college I have sat for dogs and cats. I have taken care of many dogs, playing with them, feeding, walks and even cleaning up behind them. With cats I have played, fed, and cleaned out litter boxes. Although I have not done it officially besides friends and family, I want to help you take care of your animals just as if they were my own with love and happiness. I also have a family dog that I have taught to do tricks and helped potty train. I currently work part-time at a grocery store. Most times I work 8am to 2pm so I can take care of your animals before I go to work and after. Even if the there needs to be a drop in, I could take care during working hours as well. Every animal will be treated with love and care. I will stick to a routine that the owner may have and if crating is needed I could do so safely for both me and your pet.

Lisa was fantastic! Always included pictures of her visits and was super communicative when she saw that someone wasn’t feeling great, going above and beyond cleaning up messes! I was completely at ease knowing she was looking after our pups.

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.

Luie was wonderful! He came by to walk our dog, Cooper, and made sure he was fed while we were away overnight. Cooper was well cared for, and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hartly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 323 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 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 Hartly. On Rover:

  • 96% 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.
