“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”

About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
About: I've always had lots of love for pets since a young age. Growing up my family had a house of 2 dogs and 3 cats, which means a lot of bowls to be filled, yard and litter box to be cleaned, and snuggles to be given and received at the end of the night. My on-hand experiences have ranged since 2017 with my own pet sitting clients, worked as a receptionist at a local hospital, and as a caretaker at Petco. I understand the importance of treating pets as if they were my own. Safety, comfortability, and attention are my top priorities when I'm responsible for your beloved furry ones. I work as a part time school driver, Mon- Thurs, 6:45am-9am and Fri 1:30pm-4p until end of May 2026. I'm currently attending night school until July 2026. Consists of Mon-Thurs, 4pm-9pm. I am very available and more open Sat and Sun all day. In the past, I had my own senior cat (Sapphire) who I loved and cared for every day for 3 years until she passed onto the rainbow bridge. I personally understand how that bond and connection feels. Although my present living situation at an apartment doesn't allow pets, for the past two years I've been housesitting at my clients' homes. I respect and follow the guidelines of each and every one. During most of client's departure, I've collected or separated mail, trash is out on time, and ensured the home is cleaned for when they return. I enjoy sending daily updates through texting, photos, or videos to the owner with our activities from playing, walking, feeding and napping. Clear communication with dietary, medication, grooming and other needs is my responsibility. I will do everything to the best of my abilities to ensure a stress-free time for my clients and their pets.

“Kara was so great with my dogs, kept me updated during drop-ins throughout my time away, and made the whole experience of leaving my dogs behind a much more pleasant one! She was prompt, thorough, and super friendly, and I could tell from our meet & greet that they would be in great hands with her! Thank you, Kara!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.

About: Animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. My home has always been filled with the love, companionship, and joy that only animals can bring, and I truly can't imagine life without them. To me, every pet is family, and I believe they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I've worked with animals and have cared for pets with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and comfort, I'm committed to providing care that's tailored to them. Building trust with animals is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. When your pet is in my care, they're not just another booking, they become part of my extended family. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care and PLENTY of updates, photos, and love along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend and giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I have a very flexible schedule and full availability, allowing me to provide dependable care whenever you need it. Whether it's weekdays, weekends, holidays, or last-minute bookings, I'm happy to accommodate your pet's needs. I have the time and dedication to give every pet the attention, love, and care they deserve! When caring for your pet in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and any medications or special care they may need.

About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from social and affectionate to shy or recently rescued. I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, including both cats and dogs. I also have hands on experience helping stray and rescue cats adjust to indoor environments. In addition, I’m comfortable handling small animals and have experience owning and caring for ferrets. I prioritize patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I currently just graduated high school at York County School of Technology while enrolled in the Licensed Cosmetology program! I obtained my cosmetology license in December of 2025. I’m currently waiting to begin my journey in the esthetics side of the cosmetology industry! I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends, as well as mid afternoon and nights. I personally prioritize creating a safe, calm, and stress free environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any specific needs so I can keep their environment consistent and comfortable. I’m attentive to details such as securing doors, safe feeding practices, and monitoring behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I’m also respectful of client homes and follow all instructions carefully to ensure both pets and property are well cared for. For more anxious or shy animals, I focus on patience and gentleness to build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.

“ALL the stars for Alexis! First time Rover user here and Alexis was so great. She took care of my elder kitty while we were away and she was awesome! Very communicative, very willing to help out with an extra housesitting task and she made us feel like our pet was in great hands while we were on vacation.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs/cats my entire life. I have checked in, played, fed, given meds and potty breaks to dogs of two other families before. STARTING AUGUST 18: I will be starting my clinical rotations at WellSpan hospitals and other sites. This means during weekdays I will not be available from 6am-3:30pm or even later depending what site I am at that day (i have rotations in Gettysburg). Weekends I am available unless said otherwise! Thank you! I’m a college student on summer break, so I’m available a lot of the time! I let out and play with another dog during weekday mornings, so anytime after that! Although I have an unfenced yard, I live on a dead end road with not a lot of traffic. I have a huge field behind my house where I can play with your pets. I have a friendly Springer Spaniel who can keep your dog company. I can easily crate if needed. Will not walk or let dogs out to potty without a leash. Will play unleashed in field.

“Kelly was great with providing us with updates on our dog during the drop in visits! We are looking forward to having her check on our dog in the future. Would highly recommend her services!”

About: I've had pets my whole life—fish, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I love animals whether they are my own, my friends, or yours! I am comfortable caring for a variety of pets regardless of breed. I am particularly skilled at working with anxious pets; I'm told I have a laid back, calming presence. It's important to me to do my best to care for your pets as you would. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have about the process if you're new to Rover. I make my own schedule, so I can easily work with yours! I can also bring other work along if your pet needs company for longer periods of time. I would like to meet your pet with you at least once ahead of time to establish trust on everyone's part. I'm not able to bring other pets into my home (except maybe a small dog), but can stop by or stay at yours. Your privacy and comfort are important to me! In case of emergency, I am able to transport pets via car.
“I am so glad that I found Ash to help me with my new puppy Apollo. Starting back to work after being off for part of the summer I was worried about Apollo being let out during the day for potty breaks. ash is very reliable and Apollo and my other Dood love having the interaction with her when she stops in. Highly recommend Ash!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 979 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Highmount. 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.
