“Alice did a great job with my 2 cats! This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous about leaving them for so long. She came over and to my surprise my cats immediately took to her. By that I mean they didn't run away and actually let her pet them. I got a photo everyday and they were well cared for while I was gone.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I currently have four cats of my own and have also owned dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for both. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I enjoy getting outside and going for walks, so I'm happy to help your dog get some exercise, whether they prefer a leisurely walk with lots of sniffing or something a little more energetic. I'm also very familiar with different cat personalities and understand that some want all the attention while others prefer their space. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine and make sure they're comfortable while you're away. I work full-time during the week, but I'm available for early morning and evening walks and drop-in visits, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. I'm also happy to provide overnight house sitting on weekends and holidays when my schedule allows. I may occasionally be available for weekday visits depending on the time and location, so feel free to reach out! I'm always happy to see what I can accommodate. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I'll always follow your pet's normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just making sure they get plenty of attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll take the time to make sure they're comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.

“Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to Jiru for the incredible care she gave to my cat, Doya, while I was away. Leaving Doya for over two weeks was a huge emotional challenge for me, cause she has never before being apart for such a long time. But Jiru’s unwavering dedication and loving attention gave me peace of mind every single day! I asked her to check in on Doya every two days, and she made it with such care, ensuring her food and water were just right, keeping an eye on her litter box, and most importantly, monitoring Doya’s mood and well-being. It was clear that Jiru treated Doya like her own, and her gentle, compassionate presence helped my cat stay calm, healthy, and comforted throughout my absence. I am so deeply thankful to Jiru for her kindness and for making this difficult time so much easier on both of us. Thanks to her, I returned to find my beloved Doya happy and safe, and that means more to me than words can express.”

About: With my nursing background and having my own animals, I am knowledgeable and competent in handling/administering medications and mostly anything medical related with your pets. I have two animals of my own and have owned various pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc). I am experienced in sitting various animals of all ages and would truly be honored to meet and love on your kiddos. I am available most days of the week since I am currently only working as a nurse part time. Other than my own two pets, I do not have any other commitments. I would prefer to take care of your pets in their own environment so that they are comfortable. However, I am willing to house sit at my home if necessary.

“Jue is the best cat sitter anyone can ask for. First and formost, she studys animal behavior in school so she understands cats very well! . Second, She spent an hour before the first visit to get to know my place and my two cats, and took down a long list of notes, that shows how much ownership she had for this task. Third, she is a GREAT communicator! She responds to messages/requests very quickly, and will send pictures/videos and detailed visit cards so you know 100% your cats are doing well. Last thing, she really pays attention to details, and will help you with things that you cascually missed. In my case I missed cleaning the water fountain. Even though cleaning water fountain was not in the request, she noticed the bugs flying around she just took care of it. 10/10 recommended!”

“Anna is a great cat/house sitter and I would highly. Recommend her. I have a 21 year old senior cat with several medical needs. Anna stayed overnight and gave oral medication to my cat who is feisty with strangers. Anna is responsible, dependable and has excellent communication skills. She texted me with questions on issues that we had not covered and I appreciated that. She has high integrity and I felt that I could trust her in my home and with my cat.”

“Lisa was THE BEST! She was available for us last minute when our usual sitter happened to be out of town and she really went above and beyond to reassure us that our kitties were in good hands. Lisa was willing to stop by a day before the booking was scheduled to close our windows when the air quality became concerning and she even stopped by an extra time just to make sure our kitties were doing well when the temperatures got pretty high. She even brought the kitties a few new toys 🥹 Would 100% recommend!!!”

About: Hi, I'm McKenzie! Since high school, I have been the go to neighborhood cat sitter. I have experience taking care of cats with various temperaments and medical needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful and anxiety inducing leaving your fur babies at home is, especially for an extended period of time. I provide daily check ins for pet parents so they know their babies are safe and sound. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I work a standard 40 hour week, Monday through Friday. For week days, I would come before I start work and come over after I get off. Typically during week days, I spend an hour and a half each trip, including feeding, play time, socializing/grooming time, liter, basic household cleaning, etc. When I leave a home, the only evidence I was there should be a happy and content cat when you return. On weekends, the time I spend with the cat(s) is extended to a couple of hours each visit to ensure they are getting enough enrichment and care. I have experience with caring for indoor and outdoor cats. My main goal when starting at any new home is to build a relationship with the cat(s), especially if they are wary of new people. I don’t push the cat into socialization immediately. If they are hiding away in the beginning, I start with letting them know of my presence, then build trust from there. Every cat has its own personality, so it’s important to me to find what works best for them. When I enter and before I leave a home, I always ensure I have eyes on each cat in the household. I want to know where they are before the door is locked to make sure they are safe and sound.

“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old and cats for over 10 years, taking care of them ever since. In addition, family and friends hired me to take care of their pets and homes in their absence. I currendly able after 3pm on weekdays and during weekends my schedule it is more flexible, having almost the whole weekend free for your fur baby. I prefer to take care of your pet at home (and take walks in the neighborhood) since it is in a safe and familiar place for him/her.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, growing up on farms and the like, I have endless experience watching family and friend's dogs and cats. I have energy for those big dogs that love to tug of war, I am the perfect partner for a good game of fetch and a calming energy for those pets that love to lounge around. I love doing yoga with pets around, makes for playful interaction. I take my time getting to know a pet, learning their specific needs and where they loved to be pet the most. I attune myself to each animal. I never force a connection, I also let the animal get to know me too. I have experience with puppies, kittens, young pups, older pups and cats alike. I am currently unemployed and looking to make this my priority for the next couple months while I save up money to go to school abroad. So pet care and sitting fits into my daily life pretty smoothly. I am ready and open as soon as you need me. I respect every client's home and treat their pet as if they were my own. I know how special and close animal-person connections are. I make it a goal to keep the home neat and safe for your animal.

About: Hi, I’m Jamie! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had both cats and dogs over the years and have cared for pets through every stage of life, from wiggly puppies to senior pets needing extra love. Along the way, I’ve picked up experience in training, end-of-life care, and reading pet body language to make sure every animal feels safe and understood. I work from home full-time and also run my own business, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. That means I can be there when you need someone reliable, whether it’s for walks, check-ins, or extra cuddles. My goal is always simple: to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they’re part of my own family. At home, I have two dogs and a cat—each with their own quirks and personalities—so I know firsthand how important it is to follow specific instructions and give each animal the attention they need. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home and I own my own business so I am able to make my own schedule which gives me some flexibility when it comes to offering pet care. My goal is always to make sure animals feel comfortable with me and I am comfortable with following specific care instructions. I have 2 dogs and a cat at home who all have very different personalities and needs.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have always had at least two dogs in my home. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and others on and off for the past few years, caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have two senior dogs who I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I’m especially comfortable with older dogs and giving them the patience and care they need. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to make pet care a bigger part of my life. I’m currently 18 and attending Bellevue College while living at home, which gives me a stable and comfortable environment for caring for pets. I’m currently a college student with classes in the mornings Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of availability outside of class before 8:50 AM and after around 11:30 AM. My schedule is consistent, and I can plan pet care around my classes. I’m currently looking for work, but I will always make sure I can fully commit to any pet-care booking I accept. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pets. I’m not currently able to offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to anything they need, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll also be respectful of your home and keep you updated while you’re away.

I couldn’t be happier with the care Katya gave my cat, Leilani! Leilani struggles with separation anxiety and tends to get pretty depressed when I go on vacation, so leaving her is always a little stressful for me. Katya was wonderful about communicating throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. But what impressed me most was how well Leilani seemed to do emotionally while I was gone. Normally, when I come home from a trip, Leilani makes sure I know just how unhappy she is that I left her. I usually get the cold shoulder for hours, sometimes even days, before she decides to forgive me and return to her normal, affectionate self. This time, it took just minutes! That’s a pretty big deal. She seemed happy, relaxed, and so much better adjusted than she typically does after I’ve been away. I really believe that says a lot about the attention, patience, and care Katya gave her. What I appreciated most is that Katya clearly understands there’s more to caring for a cat than making sure they’re fed and their litter box is clean. Their emotional well-being matters, too. I’m genuinely grateful to have found Katya and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Leilani again. If you’re looking for someone who communicates well, genuinely cares, and pays attention to your cat’s individual needs, I highly recommend her!

I can’t recommend Kseniia enough! I had an extend vacation planned and was really worried about my kitty while I was away. She gave thorough updates, cared for her like her own and had no problems giving my senior kitty the daily medication she requires. My daily photo updates really put me at ease and I came home to a happy and healthy kitty.

Ingrid is a highly professional, communicative, and responsible pet sitter. She has watched our young, spirited, rescue cat 3 times while we were out of town. Ingrid played with her, took her outside, and sent great photo updates upon request. As a first time cat family, we trust Ingrid implicitly with Morticia’s care. We will definitely hire Ingrid again! 🐈‍⬛ 😀

Irina was wonderful! We have especially shy girls and Irina was super patient and good with them. We are very very happy with how she followed our house, feeding, litterbox, and play rules and expectations. The last time we left them with another sitter they never left their hiding places. This time with Irina even our most shy cat came out to eat and get some pets while the other cat played with her several times. This is very showing of how much they liked and felt comfortable with her. Her updates each visit were detailed and we really appreciated all the photos she sent. Irina is attentive, professional, and thorough. We will be rebooking her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

This is the second time Mackenzie has watched and visited our cats. She is amazing! Her pictures, communication, and following our advice for each cat is top notch. We have four cats and a lot of litter boxes. She took care of those messes daily and still found time to pet and play with each cat. I am a bit anxious leaving them, but she is a wonderful sitter and made me feel like she truly loves each one of the cats :). I will continue to book her in the future and anyone reading this should too!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Hazelwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hazelwood is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,779 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hazelwood. 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 Hazelwood. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
