About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.

Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know that pets are family, and they deserve care that feels safe, loving, and personalized. My experience includes caring for dogs in a home environment, supporting daily routines, providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and giving pets the patience and attention they need while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, habits, and care instructions so their routine feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I am also the founder of Lovebugs & Co. Pet Care, a boutique pet care service created for pet parents who want reliable, thoughtful, and loving care. My approach is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet with the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I currently work from home in a flexible remote environment, which allows me to be present, attentive, and available throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and a calm home environment. Because my schedule is flexible, I can build pet care around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent attention and care while their family is away. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. For pets cared for in my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit. I keep the environment clean, peaceful, and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they are away. For walks and drop-in visits in a client’s home, I treat the home with care and respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.

I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos.

Marley was absolutely fantastic with our 5-month-old puppy, Goose! He’s definitely a handful, but everything went incredibly smoothly. Her quick and consistent communication before, during, and after her visit gave me complete confidence that he was in great hands. I also loved the pictures she shared and appreciated the updates throughout her time with him. I would happily have Marley watch Goose again and highly recommend her!

Kyle was amazing! He watched my cat for a few days and was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and followed all my instructions perfectly, including giving my cat daily medicine. My cat can also be shy around new people but she was friendly with Kyle right away which gave me lots of peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kyle as a cat sitter!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Harwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 7,162 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harwood. 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 Harwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
