Hillary did a wonderful job with our two kitties while we were away! She is a great communicator, and our cats seemed very comfortable with her - and they are usually quite shy. Highly recommend!

Annalia is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her to watch Pickle, and she is officially our go-to sitter. She was punctual every single day and sent great photo updates that put my mind at ease. She is friendly, communicative, and truly went above and beyond—even cleaning up a sickness mess and keeping me informed immediately. Pickle was happy and relaxed when I got home. I can’t recommend Annalia enough!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat owner with experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs, including blind and diabetic dogs. I’m also a proud cat mom of two and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m active and love being outside, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy with walks, playtime, or runs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, with plenty of updates and attentive care along the way. I currently offer pet care availability during early mornings, lunchtime, and evenings on weekdays, with more flexible availability on weekends. I’m an active person who loves hiking, running, and rock climbing, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy—whether that means walks, runs, or playtime. I’m also very comfortable with a range of pet personalities. I’m happy to cuddle affectionate pets or give shy cats the space they need to feel safe and comfortable. This makes me a great option for anyone needing reliable early morning or afternoon care, along with consistent, attentive support for their pets throughout the week. I will always follow any specific instructions regarding treats, care routines, brushing, walking, or play so your pet gets exactly what they need and are used to. I take communication seriously and am happy to share pictures and regular updates during my time with your pet so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect as my own, and I always aim to leave things even better than I found them.

Stephen was fantastic. He came to my rescue for my cat as the other sitter I had was not working out and I was already overseas. He came and spent more time than request with Reno.

William was great. He dropped in on my 3 dogs, sent pics, and updates during the weekend. I felt very comfortable that my dogs were being looked after by him. I would definitely recommend William and will be contacting him for future drop ins.

Taylor did such a great job. It was our first time using Rover and first time having someone do a drop in for our sweet little Murphy. Taylor had great reviews so we booked her, then did a video chat to show her around. She gave us updates and photos and we came home to a very happy puppy. It was so nice to know Murphy didn’t have to go all evening without a walk and potty break. ❤️ I would 100% hire Taylor again!

About: I have grown up around animals and throughout that time have gained skills that help with sitting and with that it allows me to be a better sitter. I have been around all ages of cats and dogs my whole life and have been sitting regularly since I was thirteen. I’m currently in school and not very busy with classes, so I’ll be readily available to fulfill any petting sitting needs that are needed. I will usually check in and/or walk in the morning or in the evening. My dog gets walked twice a day at minimum because he tends to want to get that much energy out. This usually happens at night and I would be able to walk any dogs at the same level which I do mine.

About: I adore all animals and wish I could spend more time with them which is why I am applying to become a pet sitter. I have experience caring for my own animals throughout my life as well as fostering animals while they waited for their forever homes. I am looking to fill my days with caring for animals while my children are at school. I am available between 8:30am and 2:00pm M-F and would also be available Sundays throughout the day. If I were to care for your pets at my home, I have a large yard (3 acres) and a spacious home in a quiet community. My two dogs are very friendly and love meeting new animals including cats. I am available for drop ins at your home and can take your pets for walks around your neighborhood or bring them to a local park.

About: I've taken care of family pets since I was old enough to help out! I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fancy rats, fish... Pretty much any type of animal! I do walks, overnight sitting, and check-ins. My family and friends can attest to my experience and talent in caring for all creatures, big and small. I'm currently searching for a full-time job, but as of now my schedule is completely open! I can do weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I maintain a friendly and open relationship with pets, meeting them where they're at rather than forcing them to come to me. I will always maintain any recommendations or schedules given to me to ensure that I give your pets the best care possible. I will also always obey house rules and ensure that me and your fur baby leave your home just as it was when you left!

About: I have cared for pets my entire life, as I have grown up surrounded by them. I have extensive knowledge about their care and also possess basic veterinary knowledge. In addition to giving them baths, I know how to trim their nails and, on some occasions, I can also groom their hair. I can adjust to the care schedule that best fits your needs. I believe it’s especially beneficial for your pet to go for a walk in the morning and in the evening, since those are times when they often have the most energy. I also find it very important to dedicate around 30 minutes exclusively to training, to help develop their learning skills and overall growth. Depending on the owner’s preferences, different activities and moments with the pet can be planned. For example, if it’s a pet that can only stay indoors, I would likely focus on indoor activities and spend plenty of quality time with them. On the other hand, if outdoor activities like walks or trips to the park are possible, I can easily adapt, as I love walking and believe it’s important to let pets safely explore their surroundings. That’s why I consider it very valuable to give pets the opportunity to go outside and enjoy the world.

About: Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets for years, and I genuinely treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is dependable, patient, and attentive, and that’s exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. As a nurse, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications when needed, recognizing changes in behavior, and staying calm. I pay close attention to the little things because I know every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send plenty of updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Schedule & Availability I’m currently available throughout the day on weekdays, making me a great option for morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Whether your cat needs a quick drop-in, feeding, playtime, medication, or extra companionship while you’re at work or traveling, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, litter box care, playtime, and any other preferences you have. I understand that every cat is different, and I’ll respect their personality…whether they enjoy lots of attention or prefer their own space.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past 4 years. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies during the week. I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Haywood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 2,457 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Haywood. 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 Haywood. On Rover:

  • 92% 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 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.
