“Lucas took great care of my two elderly cats. When we got back from our week away they were healthy and happy. Lucas even noticed that Cindy was scratching our couch and covered it with a blanket.”
“Sari is the most reliable sitter I’ve ever experienced! We have rebooked with her many times and would recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter! She is communicative and goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are well taken care of. 10/10”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, playing, bathing, walking, and even training young dogs with simple things. I was able to gain experience taking care of dogs because I have a dog of my own who is now a senior. I’m also a dog walker at my local animal shelter which allows me to interact with dogs of all ages and different behaviors. Aside from dogs, I also have experience feeding and playing with cats. I have two cats who are friendly, love cuddles, neck scratches, and are amazing with my dog! I’m a college student who commutes to school. I have more flexibility during breaks but throughout the school year weekends are what would work best. I have experience with both cats and dogs. This has allowed me to work with animals that have different behaviors. I believe that animals require patience and love just like any other being. If needed, your pet will be in good hands in my home since my cats and dog get along very well.
“Valerie was totally reliable, and took incredible good care of Hobbes. She played, cuddled and indulged Hobbes’ love for treats. He was a happy camper which we could see from all the photos and videos she sent us. She was able to capture his personality on the photos so well. Communication was prompt and regular as well. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: We are a Mother (Brooke 44 yo), Dad (Joe 51 yo) and 2 kids (Clementine 9 yo and Indigo 6 yo) who care for your pup with kindness and fun! Cauliflower, my childhood dog, was one of the joys of my life and now, I get to share that joy with my kids by taking care of your beloved pet. We are a flexible, homeschooled family willing to take jobs during the day and on weekends. We value slow living and try our best not to overschedule our lives, leaving room for opportunities like pet care. We have a loving home and can cater to your pet’s needs. We love giving your pet exercise and play time which comes effortlessly for our 2 kids :)
“Alexis is great. We have wonderful peace of mind when we are away. It is wonderful to return home to clean litter boxes and happy cats. Alexis is the “cat whisperer”. We have one cat that does not seam to like any body, except for Alexis. Love the daily pictures. I highly recommend.”
“Jiawen!! You were such a dream to work with. She payed such close attention to our kitties who will miss her dearly. I loved all her notes and will definitely rebook in the future”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
About: Look no further! My name is Allayna, and I feel honored to be entrusted with your pets! I have extensive experience working with dogs who experience separation anxiety, so rest assured that I will be gentle and understanding of your pet's needs, whatever they are. I prioritize communication during my stays as I recognize it is key to easing anxiety while you're away. Everyone who knows me would tell you I'm super transparent. If you have to trust anybody, let it be someone who will respect you, your pet, and your home. Send me a message and let's talk about what your pets needs are. I ALWAYS schedule a meet & greet before we confirm a booking. My priority is making you feel comfortable before making commitments. See you soon!! Having a job that allows me to work from home frees up weekday time for walks or house sitting. I love being outside, so walking your dog might be as exciting for me as it is for them! I have availability during weekdays as needed, in addition to evenings and weekends. I recognize the delicacy of having someone else in your home caring for your pet, and wish to honor that. I'm happy to take my shoes off when I enter your home, and more importantly, I intend to treat all possessions and environments (most especially your pet!) with the utmost care and gentleness while ensuring safety.
“Denyal is always amazing! We have asked her to drop in on our pets several times and she never disappoints! She provides plenty of photos and details and is great with communication”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, reptiles, fish, and ferrets. I even started my own small pet sitting business when I was younger and ran it for about two years, caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, flexible, and very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels, from playful young dogs to older pets that need extra patience and attention. I’m active, good on my feet, and willing to spend plenty of time with pets because I understand how important companionship, consistency, and attention are for them. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time while figuring out my plans after graduation, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays on most weekdays and weekends. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always make sure they get plenty of care, exercise, and companionship. I currently only provide care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I’m comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, medications, walks, crates, routines, or special care needs. I currently do not have any pets of my own, which can help pets that are sensitive to other animals or unfamiliar smells. I always aim to keep pets safe, relaxed, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and informed.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends, family members, neighbors, and Rover users. I took a break from Rover, but have wanted to get back to spending time with animals as I am a student once again. I can take care of the sleepiest pets and the highest energy ones. Reach out to me if you are going away or need someone to come by and check in on your furry friend. I am a nursing student which gives me a lot of free time to spend with my pets and yours! I can stop by early in the morning before class or anytime after 3 PM. I will care for the pets by feeding them per the owners instructions, playing with them, and giving them the attention they need to keep them stimulated and happy. I can take dogs to nearby parks or walk them around the neighborhood.
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own! An Australian Cattle Dog Mix, a Basenji mix, and a working line large breed German Shepherd, which I helped train in obedience to be an SD. My dogs always had scheduled potty breaks and playtime. My job is to make sure your pet has the best time while keeping boundaries/respecting their space, ensuring their safety, and following your expectations of care. I am comfortable with any amount of shedding and the size of your pet. I can especially ease my interaction with pets that are scared and anxious, as through training my own dog, I am better at picking up the dog’s body language and only engage in physical contact if the pet’s body language consents. If you have an aggressive pet, please notify me beforehand. I do not guarantee I will agree to care for them, but I am interested in scheduling a first meeting if possible. Note: I do not drink/smoke, so your loved one will never be affected by second-hand smoke or inappropriate behavior. I am very available on the weekends and by the afternoon on weekdays. If you need morning care, please reach out and I will see if I can accommodate! My pets are routinely groomed and freshened. Everytime they come inside after heavy play, I clean their body from head to toe with pet friendly wipes. I use a brush that helps with shedding and smoothing out hair. Their teeth gets brushed every 2 weeks. I check their ears for dirt routinely and the inside of their paws for any injuries or cracking from dryness.
About: I've loved and cared for cats since I was 11, and my experience includes caring for cats with chronic and terminal illnesses. I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and medical needs. I've also fostered and boarded cats and dogs of all ages, giving me experience helping animals feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I'm comfortable administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications, and I understand the importance of following care instructions closely. Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior companion, or an animal who needs extra medical attention, I'll approach their care with compassion, respect, and the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is my full time occupation. I have nothing but time and love for your furry friends, and I will happily treat them as my own. I tailor my care to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I prioritize a safe, calm environment, consistent routines, plenty of affection, and attentive supervision. I follow owners' instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and household routines, and I provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, dog walks, and companionship for pets of different ages and activity levels. If it's a 2 mile walk through Schenley Park, a short jaunt around a familiar fire hydrant, or a quick trip from bed to the couch — I'm here for it all! I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with chronic or terminal illnesses, as well as administering medications, including pills, liquids, ointments, and subcutaneous medications when prescribed. Having fostered cats and dogs of various ages, I'm comfortable helping animals settle into unfamiliar environments at their own pace. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide thoughtful, reliable care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease while they're apart.
“Emma provided excellent care and love for our two dogs! She has great communication leading up to the visit and throughout so you know exactly how things are going. We are so thankful for her time and feel at ease knowing she takes great care of our furry friends.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Homestead
We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.
Lucas was a wonderful pet sitter for my Ori- I would 100% book again. Communicative, punctual, and even accommodated for last minute travel plan changes and was able to extend the booking an extra day. Went above and beyond by cleaning his litter box as well. Thank you, Lucas! 😊
Divya is an excellent sitter, and on such short notice too. The write-ups she gave looking after my cat while I was out of town were quite detailed and the pictures she took were adorable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing that someone so attentive was checking in on him and giving him bit of company each day.
Pulpo recieved the most purrrrrfect care from Brooke and her family. He was obviously looking forward to seeing them and had a lot of fun each time they came. We got the sweetest photos and updates each visit and came home to a very content creature. 100% recommend!
Valerie is a conscientious and loving pet sitter and my dogs and cats love her visits. She maintains good communication both before and during visits so I feel comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands. She goes above and beyond and I trust her with my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
Ashley is amazing! Her care and attention to the cats made it easier to enjoy my time away, knowing that they were in good hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were safe, healthy, and not stressed out. She communicated clearly and sent lots of pictures. Great job!
Jennifer is such a lovely and trustworthy person, and all of my pets adore her. I love the detailed updates she gives, as well as all of the pictures. You can tell she really loves working with animals, and she's amazing at it, too. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you want the best for your puppies or kitties!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Homestead is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $40 per visit.

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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
