About: I have never worked in a professional animal care environment, however, I have taken care of pets for many years, domesticated and feral. I have rescued many cats & dogs, either kept for my family or found a family for them. I have a special love for all animals, even the feisty ones! I understand there are boundaries and each animal comes with different needs and requirements, even if its pretending to eat so they will eat. Haha. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs & cats, although I still do ask to provide as many details as possible to ensure their specific needs are met. I currently have one cat & 2 bearded dragons so I have experience with some reptiles as well. I have trained a few dogs with basic tricks such as sit, stay & rollover with treats as rewards. I am the go to for many friends, families & neighbors when it comes to them needing someone to care for their pet while they are away. I am capable of feeding, cleaning, walking & spending time with them. I am currently working part time and always on the move! I can care for your pet early mornings, whether it be a feeding or a walk in the afternoon and possible evening drop in. I have to be home before 8 though or kitty will be furious. I will be unable to bring your pets into my own home however, I would be willing to take them for a walk or a RIDE! To the P.A.R.K, based on discussion and needs. I can care for your pet in your home whether that be feeding, playing with toys, exercise in the yard or going for a leashed walk to sniff every bush. I am fragrance free as I know some fragrance bothers many pets. I do understand many animals are based on trust & boundaries which I am willing to take the time to develop that with them.

About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember, but most of my dog experience goes back the past few years! I had a golden growing up and she was my soul-dog, and now we have a family german shepherd! I adore every soul I get the pleasure of meeting, and love all dogs with my whole heart. I understand how hard it is to leave your babies with someone, and I promise to treat them with the utmost kindness and care. I’m currently in-between jobs and trying to find my passion. Since I’ve always loved having pets, what better way to find myself than spending more time with them? I’m free almost every day as of right now, and will keep this updated as I go. I can’t care for dogs at my own home unfortunately, as I don’t live alone! I’m good at following instructions and will treat your home with respect.
“Rhianna was beyond amazing at taking care of my cat Lucille and my home while I was away. She sent detailed updates daily and plenty of photos showing what all they got up to each day, and constantly went above my expectations. The care she showed for my pet was clear, and I couldn't appreciate her more!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of 15+ years of hands-on experience with animals and my genuine passion for providing exceptional, personalized care. Caring for pets has always been something I love, and I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, puppy care, senior pet care, and providing extra patience and attention when animals need it most. I understand that puppies need consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, and guidance as they learn, while senior pets often require a gentler approach, extra comfort, and attention to changes in their needs. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their individual personalities—whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience providing drop-in care for farm animals, including chickens and goats. Farm visits can include feeding, providing and refreshing water, putting out hay, collecting eggs, and making sure each animal is safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I understand that farm animals have their own routines and care requirements, and I am comfortable taking the time needed to make sure everything is done properly. My goal is to provide more than just basic care. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for every animal while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication, updates, and personalized attention. Whether I’m caring for a beloved family dog, a shy cat, or a small farm full of animals, I treat every animal with the same level of patience, respect, and care I would want for my own. I feel honored to be trusted with someone’s furry, feathered, or four-legged family members and look forward to providing them with dependable, loving care while you’re away. I am currently dedicating my full-time focus to growing my animal care business, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my primary commitment, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My daily routine revolves around creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment activities, grooming needs, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take pride in being dependable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible, dependable pet care options designed to keep your furry family member happy, comfortable, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most at ease. I provide in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats, with care tailored to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, companionship, feeding routines, medication reminders, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the level of care that works best for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and loved. I also offer pet grooming services, including basic grooming care to help your pet look and feel their best. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.
“Courtney was great! She is super friendly, communicative, and really went above and beyond. She sent us photos, brought in our packages and trash can without even being asked, and was so sweet with our two cats. They took to her right away at the first meeting! We definitely recommend Courtney and will absolutely use her again for future trips!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a special love for them. Growing up with dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m patient, caring, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving belly rubs, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM, and weekends from 11 AM to 8 PM for walks, visits, and loving pet care. I create a safe, trusted, and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and cared for with patience, attention, and respect like they are family.

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and they have all been my best friends! We like to cuddle, go on walks and learn new skills. I'm no stranger to pets of all different personalities and know how to meet them where they are. I'm experienced in providing insulin to dogs and topical treatment to cats. I don't currently have pets of my own but have spent weeks looking after the cats and dogs of friends and family. I love those times that I'm able to bond with their fur babies and would love to get to know yours as well! I currently work remotely and can be available for boarding throughout the week and weekend. I'm available to hangout with your pets, take them on walks or bathroom breaks, feed times or personal enrichment, whatever they may need. I have a backyard that pets can run around in, it is fenced on one side only so they would need to have a long leash for safety. I don't have other pets so they wouldn't have any problems there! If coming to your home I'm happy to go by the rules that you set and the comfort levels that you have. I always find pets do best in their comfort zones anyway and I'm excited to meet them where they are!
About: I am extremely clean and organized and when it comes to animals I love taking care of them and keeping there things clean and neat I'm currently doing part time bookkeeping for certain clients as well as teaching guitar lessons also part time so I am very open in terms of scheduling I have a large back and front yard and I live on a culdesac that is extremely dog-friendly and would be very easy for me to take them on frequent walks
“Ja’Vae was a great sitter to work with! She was quick to communicate, very flexible, and totally understanding. She sent lots of photos and ensured my pet would be in good hands for the week. I came home to both a happy cat and a very clean apartment. Thank you so much!”

Gwynn checked on my two kitties while I was away on vacation and did a wonderful job. She accommodated some last minute requests no problem and was very pleasant to communicate with! She updated me every visit with a summary of the visit and lots of photos which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will certainly reach out to her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 163 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Homewood. 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.

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.
