I’ve grown up around animals and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities—shy cats, energetic puppies, senior pets, you name it. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m patient, good at following routines, and always keep things clean and calm. I also send regular updates and cute pictures so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. I would love the chance to take great care of your pets and make your life a little easier! 💕 I currently work part-time, but I’m very flexible and will always do my best to work something out so your fur baby is in safe hands. If you need specific times or last-minute care, just message me — I’ll try my hardest to make it happen! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can give them the best care possible. I always double-check doors, leashes, bowls, and instructions to make sure everything is secure and consistent. I communicate clearly, send regular updates, and keep you in the loop so you always know your fur baby is safe and happy. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, respect, and lots of love every visit.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was young girl. I also have worked as a Veterinary Technician on Langley Air Force Base. I enjoy pet sitting all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I am retired and involved in some weekly activities, so pet sitting fits perfectly with my schedule. I enjoy the freedom and flexibility of pet sitting, not to mention the joy of being around pets. I am attentive, detail oriented and versatile. I believe in leaving things the way I found them, or better. I always strife to do my best at whatever I do, and I am a very trustworthy person.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life — I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and know firsthand what it means to love a pet like family. Over the past two years, I’ve had the joy of regularly pet sitting for two rescue dogs, giving them the patience, comfort, and care they deserve. I also look after a close friend’s pets and check in on a cat whenever her owner is away on weekend trips. Whether your pet needs a walk, a sleepover, or just some company while you’re gone, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Your furry family members are in good hands! I work part-time at my own business, which gives me the flexibility throughout the week to step away and check in on your pets whenever needed. I’m also available on weekends for house sitting and dog walking, making it easy to accommodate your schedule — whether it’s a quick weekday visit or a full weekend stay. You can count on me to be there when it matters most! I follow your pet’s routine — feeding schedules, medications, walks and playtime for dogs. For cats, I provide in-home care, litter cleaning and feedings.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals of every kind, from the smallest creatures to the most majestic. That passion naturally led me to become actively involved in animal welfare, eventually serving as the director of a nonprofit rescue organization. In that role, I dedicated myself to protecting vulnerable animals, coordinating care and rehabilitation efforts, and helping them find safe, loving homes. My experience strengthened not only my commitment to animal advocacy but also my leadership, compassion, and ability to work closely with both people and animals in meaningful ways Pet care is my daily routine. I work with dogs on a daily. I foster, train, handle, transport and rescue all kinds of fur babies. I have a fenced in back yard. I have 5 dogs who are super sweet and loving I also have 2 cats a ferret and a leopard gecko.

I booked last minute and she was able to accommodate me. She was so attentive and loving to my babies! It eased my anxiety while leaving them on a longer trip. Will definitely book with her in the future!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hayes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 683 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hayes. 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 .

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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 , 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.
