Shawnna did a great job caring for my cat, Buddy. She was very responsive to me when I reached out to her with questions. I also appreciate that she attempted to engage with my big boy, even though he resisted. I would def recommend her for your fur pal.

Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.

About: I have had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up with dogs and have been around them my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and needs. I also had a cat for many years, giving me experience with feline care as well. In addition to caring for my own pets, I dog sit for friends and have helped take care of my grandparents’ dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve become reliable with walks, playtime, meal routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. Use this link for $20 off your first booking with Rover! https://www.rover.com/sit/ashlim30259 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently job searching so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to each pet’s needs. This allows me to give pets consistent attention with walks, playtime, feedings, and company throughout the day. I am able to adapt to every pets’ different routines so it’s close to the schedule they’re used to. I live in a very safe neighborhood and close to a dog park as well. I would walk my dogs and take them to play at the parks often. I understand how crucial safety is when it comes to pets, especially in the care of someone other than their owners. I would take the upmost responsibility to make sure your fur babies are safe and loved.

Terrell is a very warm and sweet young lady who I instantly knew would take care of my Lily and Kirby as if they were her own. Lily, who is a Chihuahua mix, has a little social anxiety and does not approach people easily. You usually have to be around her a lot before you can even pick her up. Lily took to Terrell quickly, which I had not seen her do with anyone before, so I knew we were in good hands. It is obvious how much Terrell loves dogs. By the end of our first meeting to talk about feeding/potty schedule/house key, etc., I was so at ease and happy to know I'd met a reliable person to help me with in-home dog sitting. I received videos and pictures of Kirby and Lily during Terrell's visits and an update on how they were doing. It made my time away from home peaceful so I could enjoy myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Terrell!

I don’t have enough words to describe what an amazing doggie sitter Marla is! I have never used a doggie sitter in the past because I feel that not everyone understands how important my doggies are to me, therefore, I would avoid vacation time as much as possible. Finding Marla is truly a blessing to say the least, she understands the importance of treating my doggies as babies. In addition, I was impressed with her passion, expertise, and knowledge on dogs. All four of my babies immediately bonded with her, and that made me feel at ease. Marla went above and beyond by keeping me posted on how my doggies were doing, and she would send me pictures. I believe my doggies did not missed me because Marla spent quality time with each one, and knowing that it made my vacation even more enjoyable. Marla is truly the poster child of what a doggies sitter should be! I can’t thank her enough for taking amazing care of my doggies during my absence. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: Kevin and I have both been caring for dogs and many other types of animals for our entire lives and absolutely couldn’t envision our life without several animals. Kevin has grown up around a family dog business - participating in AKC scent trials, agility training, boarding and almost any other type of dog event & training you can imagine. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire lifetime and used to help foster kittens as a child and teenager. We currently have two dogs, several cats, chickens, turkeys and more. Your animals will be in safe and caring hands with us! We both work but set our own schedules and/or work from home so your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. Since we have animals of our own, caring for additional pets is not a problem and part of our normal lifestyle. We have a large fenced dog run outside, in home kennel area, along with crates for crate trained dogs. Our property is about 5 acres and fully fenced with front gates so dogs cannot leave the area. We also have a couple large lawns we use for doggy playtime, fetch and training sessions.

About: Hi i used to be a vet assistant for 2 years so I’m experienced in animal handling and care but I’ve had my own doggo for 8 years. I worked at the boarding side for a few months! I love dogs and cats so much! I have two dogs of my own, a very sweet border collie and a little scruffy guy that we adopted. I’d love to help you with your pet! I work full time but some days I work from home and weekends I can be available. I am mostly available in the afternoon for walks. Weekends are best for me. I have a huge fenced yard, I have a large pool for the ones like that like to swim (hence my border collie). For the ones that need to be isolated a bit more, I have a large dog run with access to an automatic waterer. I have two dogs, one is super friendly and loves to play with others (my border collie, Preslee). Then i have another little scruffy guy who’s a bit more shy. He’s a rescue, once he warms up, he’s playing but he’ll probably stick to his own routine or stay in the house.

About: When I was younger (around 10) I would pet-sit for several neighbors where I lived. I was very attentive and ended up having regular customers but unfortunately my family moved. Afterwards, I participated in animal rescue. This gave me a lot of experience and knowledge (how to adjust according to different personality types, giving medication and how to handle animals who have experienced abuse in a way that will help them feel more comfortable) Growing up my family had several dogs and cats, I currently have a dog of my own. I love to spoil animals and give them lots of affection and time! I am willing to accommodate almost any special-need😊 I work remotely with an extremely flexible schedule, meaning I will almost always be able to accommodate you and your fur baby. Send me a message so that we can discuss a time that works for you! Whether it’s going for a walk, playing fetch or just simply cuddle time I will make sure your pet is always safe, well taken care of and is content at the end of our time together🐶

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Herald

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Herald on Rover is $31.08 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,801 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Herald. 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 Herald. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
