“Josie was great. Showed up promptly, and sent many photos and details on how our cat Timothy was doing. She made sure to scoop his litter and feed him and update us when doing so. Additionally she clearly has a love and strong knowledge of cats. Would definitely recommend and will be requesting her to watch our cat again in the future!”
“Abigail was an amazing Rover. Took some incredibly cute photos of our cat, and played with her and gave her plenty of treats. Also took photos of the clean litter and full water which was appreciated! Treated our cat and our house with a ton of professionalism and respect, would absolutely recommend her and will also be using her in the future!”
“Cori did a great job visiting our cats while we were away. He helped our little ones to eat from hands when he was stressed from being alone. Always on time and followed all instructions!”
About: I have watched friends dogs in the past by taking them for walks during the day or letting them out when needed. I love all animals and will always give my best and love your pet like my own. I am available mornings Monday - Thursday before 10a and Fridays after 10a. Weekends depend but if I know ahead I can plan around anything scheduled. I am respectful and will do what you ask of me and feel is best for your cats. I also promise to love your cats as my own when I am taking care of them. I am more than willing to take pictures and send consistent updates!
“Jen takes purrfectly good care of our 3 kitties. She is really good with our sassy, senior Kate. She administers thyroid meds to Kate twice/day. She is pawesome at sending updates. She really puts our mind at ease while we away.”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She was very responsive from the first moment we reached out to her about booking, and we even had a meet and greet so our pup could get familiar with her in advance. Our pup has a lot of energy, and she always got creative with ways to give him mental stimulation and exercise — even if it was storming and he couldn’t go outside. She even offered to stay a little longer during visits to keep him company and make sure he was okay when he started having some tummy issues. I appreciate all the updates and photos she sent after each visit, and he always looked happy in every photo. I would highly recommend Jacqueline and would definitely book her again!”
“Katie did a great job looking after our two cats. She left us thorough notes on what she did during each visit and sent lots of photos. She even volunteered to vacuum litter on the floor, which was above and beyond what we expected. One of our cats is very shy, and we were impressed that he felt comfortable with Katie after just a few days. This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter, and Katie made the experience stress-free for us. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go away!”
About: Family friends have relied on me to make sure their pets are watched over for years. I have experience with daycare activities at the Dog Stop as well as taking care of disabled or medicated pets, and am willing to visit up to 3 times a day. I have an extremely flexible schedule and will prioritize your pet’s needs. If your pet has unusual meal times, I will make it happen. I will make up to 3 house visits a day depending on your pet’s requirements, and each visit will last as long as it needs to until all needs are met. Depending on your pet’s mood, I can offer playtime for enrichment or just keep them company to ensure their comfort and prevent feelings of isolation.
“She gave me the best updates about my boys! I was also worried about my flight getting canceled and she offered to come back and stay the night if it did get cancelled! Absolutely would recommend her!”
“We had such a great experience with Destiny watching our cats! She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and sent us regular updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and made sure they were well taken care of. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties! We would absolutely recommend Destiny and will definitely use her again in the future! ❤️”
“Shelby was amazing with my little maniacs. She made it a great first experience using Rover for both them & myself. Highly recommend & will be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Shelby, for taking such great care of my littles!”
“Disha was a loving and caring sitter, our little furball was very nice and comfortable with her, she finished all of our requests perfectly, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a wonderful sitter!”
“Once again, Johanna took great care of our cat. She does it all for him while keeping me updated. Our cat loves her. Definitely book Johanna ASAP if you want great care for your pet.”

Caralyn is an amazing petsitter!! She is super kind and caring. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my cats are happy while I’m gone, taking lots of time to play with them and give them treats. It’s a huge relief knowing that my kitties are in good hands while I’m away!!
Rachel was an awesome, super communicative pet sitter that we'd be more than happy to book again! She made sure that we knew how our cat, Chili, was doing every day via multiple updates and answered any spur of the moment questions immediately. She also ensured she was prepared in advance by getting in touch well before our booked dates. Thank you for being an excellent sitter!
Josie was great. Showed up promptly, and sent many photos and details on how our cat Timothy was doing. She made sure to scoop his litter and feed him and update us when doing so. Additionally she clearly has a love and strong knowledge of cats. Would definitely recommend and will be requesting her to watch our cat again in the future!
I asked for a visit as I went out of town and needed someone for the last day as I had no idea what time I was coming home. I gave instructions and told him that he can leave after doing what was asked since I knew my cat was going to come out. I appreciate the stop by and making sure my cat had food as I was super worried that she was going to go hungry. Thank you for visiting and taking my request last minute.
We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!
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!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Heidelberg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,295 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 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 Heidelberg. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
