“Jen B. is the purrfect pet sitter. We were on an 8-day cruise and didn’t worry about our three kitties at all knowing Jen was taking care of them. She gave our sassy senior, Kate, her thyroid meds which was a huge relief. She was very patient with our other two scaredy cats. We highly recommend Jen. She’s pawesome!”
About: I am a married mother with a 14 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. I also have 2 cats and a sweet 8 year old pit mix. Animals and animal rescue are my passion and I have been watching friends' and neighbors' dogs in my home for years. I have a fenced in backyard and my cats and dog are good with dogs. I would be willing to host dogs for over night stays, weekends or week-long vacations. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was born! My mother is a hopeless dog rescuer just like me and I have always had multiple dogs in my home. Meet my pets I have 2 cats and 1 dog About my yard My back yard is completely fenced in. There is a long flat grassy area and a big hilly area for them to run. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medications. I currently work from home most of the time so I will be around to make sure your dog gets lots of attention and time. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly, playful dog to keep your dog company. My children are older and really good with dogs.
“Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!”
“It was great to have Cori drop in on my pup. She was very patient with his high energy. She followed all instructions and I didn't have to worry about how my pup was doing”
“At the last minute, I needed someone to care for them for 18 days. I had some trouble with the airline and couldn’t bring my dogs with me on the trip. Daniel was able to help and looked after them while I was away. He kept in touch during his visits, sent pictures, and helped me feel at ease; including holidays visits without any problems. Trusting someone for that long was difficult for me, but Daniel made me feel comfortable and reassured. Would 100% recommend Daniel!”
About: Growing up, I always had pets around my home. From a docile miniature Dachshund to an excitable (perhaps… crazy?) German Shepherd, I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and personalities! I love both over-excitable pups and older dogs who need extra support and care. In the past, I have spent time volunteering with Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue to transport rescue dogs from their foster homes to their forever homes, so I have experience handling very large dogs! I currently have two gray tabbies (a bonded pair of sisters) and grew up with other feline friends. I understand the kind of care they need when their favorite humans are away, whether they are skittish or brave adventurers! I'm currently a music teacher in Washington County, so I am tend to only take clients over holidays and throughout the summer months. I am also available on most weekends with at least 2 days notice. I live in a small home with my own cats, so I am not available for pet-sitting in my own home. However, I have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting and take extra care when in someone’s home. Security and safety of your pet and home is my first priority. I am more than willing to share updates and photos of your pet or home with you to ease any worries you may have while away from your furry friends!
“Abby made sure my cat had everything she needed between all 3 bowls in the house! She sent the cutest pictures of my cat and kept me updated on all needs! Highly recommend Abby!”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals over the years, from turtles, hamsters, up to horses and cows. I have 2 cats of my own, and also regularly take care of my mom’s dog. I love animals and would love to get to know you and your pet! I work remote, and can usually sneak out for a bit during the day. As long as there is some flexibility with drop in visits, i should be able to make up to 3 visits a day work for both cats or dogs (or other pets!). I have a fenced yard and 2 indoor cats, as well as my mom’s dog who i take care of regularly. I am an animal lover and care for animals deeply. I promise to treat your pets with care kindness and respect.
“Mamie was attentive, professional, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She sent updates and photos promptly and was detailed in her report cards. We also have two large breeds, and she handled them with ease. I can’t recommend her enough! Our dogs loved her😊”
“We left our cat in Robin’s care for a 2.5 week vacation. She had never been left that long. Robin did an amazing job keeping Journey company and making her feel loved. Couldn’t have asked for more pictures or updates. Robin was awesome!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and have experience with both small and large dog care. Experience giving medication to dogs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks.. I currently work part-time, but can arrange pet care around my work schedule. I am a recent high school graduate and will be going to college in the fall, but can be available from time to time to sit. I’m a lifelong dog lover, I’ve never known a time in my life where I haven’t had a dog as a pet. I treat my dogs like my siblings and would do the same for any dog I’m caring for.
“Amanda was amazing to my Ottie!! She went above and even cleaned my cats litter box haha! She definitely cares about my pets and always kept me updated!! Ottie is a very shy dog but warmed up to Amanda by day 2!! 5 stars!!”
“Lindsay looked after our large breed dog and our cat during a recent vacation. We did 2 drop in visits per day and one walk per day which was perfect. Lindsay followed the instructions, modified as needed and generally took wonderful care of both of my girls. Both Pets have nuances that Lindsay understood and worked with and around. Lindsay is professional, On time, and communicative. I was able to leave for vacation knowing that my pets had the best care possible! As much as I would love to gate-keep this amazing woman, she is worth her weight in gold. I would also recommend booking some pre-vacation walks so that your sitter and animals get to know each other - and you can get to know your sitter. By walk #2, my very shy dog was showing Lindsay so much affection. Lindsay was wonderful with her right from the start. Book Lindsay - you wont be disappointed!! She is amazing ( and I'm picky!!!!) - 10 out of 10 wonderful!!”
“This is our first experience with Rover and certainly not our last. The same is true of Wallis, who was an absolute pleasure to meet and trust with our pets. The time away was out of the country, so confidence in the care plan was important. We were pleasantly surprised to get daily texts from Wallis with brief comments and images of our cats. Call it cat-owner-weirdness, but we could see they were in good spirits and comfortable. More cat-owner-weirdness - checking texts from Wallis while standing in line to view the Sistine Chapel! Thank you, Rover and Wallis!”
“Matthew went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats. He followed instructions, but also brought in packages for us and cleaned the cats' dirty dishes which wasn't at all expected. I definitely recommend him!”
“Kathleen came for 30 minutes drop-in visits for our cats while we were away for about 11 days. She fed them, gave them pets, and played with them. Prior to our departure, she came for a meet and greet, and we gave her instructions on the cats' feeding and care. We found Kathleen to be responsive and responsible. She showed up everyday in the morning like we requested, and sent us notes and pictures while we were gone. She also responded to our messages in a timely manner. She was pleasant to work with, and we would like to book her again if we need help in the future. Thank you Kathleen!”

We have used Tessa previously and were so happy that she was available to drop in on our cat while we were away. She communicates well and sent us some great feedback about how our guy was doing, as well as pictures. We plan on using her again in the future!
Daniel kicked ass. Super communicative about everything and quick to respond. We got great photos of our three cats while we were away and he even brought packages in and cleaned up a hairball, he really went above and beyond and was super easy to get along with, we would absolutely enlist him in the future!
Kathleen is so great with Lucy, who can be a shy anxious cat. She has been attentive to the specific requests I’ve asked her to report on to give me peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so happy to have found someone Lucy feels happy and safe with. Every day she’s sent me photos of a contented cat!
I was so worried about leaving my cat who just had emergency surgery for a trip I couldn't postpone, but when I saw Mary's updates, I knew he was in good hands. Having a great cat sitter calmed my anxieties and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Thanks again for doing such a great job taking care of Oscar!
Caralyn was absolutely amazing!! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She’s a great communicator, and sent us daily updates on how the girls were doing. We really appreciated her gentle, compassionate approach with them, and know they were well taken care of! We would definitely book Caralyn again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,281 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Heidelberg. 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.

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.
