Felicia did a great job dropping in to visit my cats. She completed the Rover cards and sent pics each time. She communicated well. The food, water, and litter box were taken care of and she even brushed out one of my cats. I highly recommend Felicia.

Erica has been so great while we’ve been out of town! We felt very at ease having her take care of our pup and will most certainly rebook if she’s available!

Thanks to Kelly for visiting my house and checking on my two cats, Lunar and Dude. She took the time to clean out the litter box, top off food and water along with sending a few pictures of them and playing with Lunar. I recommend Kelly for drop-in visits!

About: I have always loved taking care of animals and playing with them. I have always taken care of family friend's pets while they were away and would love to do this for other people through this. I love to make sure new pets I take care of feel as comfortable as possible with me. You won’t ever have to worry about your furry family with me I work during the day but am always home by the latest 4 but usually 2:30. I will always work around your animals and make them my absolute priority while taking care of them. I am super flexible so we can always work together to figure out the best schedule that works best for you and your animals. I have pets of my own so I understand potential dangers to them. When I watch your pets I will treat them like my own and care for them how I would like my pets to be cared for. They will be my priority and I will try to make them feel as safe and comfortable with me as possible.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and grew up volunteering in shelters and working at a kennel. I am completely comfortable around both cats and dogs, and I occasionally foster both through my local shelter while they wait for their forever homes. I’m experienced and certified in basic dog training for puppies. I am able to administer dog CPR and basic first aid in case of emergency. I’d be happy and proud to take care of your pet(s) for you. I am extremely flexible, and able to work with most schedules. I can do set schedules as well as one-time as needed schedules. Willing to work with my clients for whatever fits their needs. I am located very close to two pet friendly parks, and an extremely walkable neighborhood that has ample amounts of sidewalks. I love hanging out high energy animals that need a lot of play time as well as just relaxing on the couch with more low key pets!

About: I have been a pet owner all my life. As a kid, my dog, Jeb, was my best friend. I am loving and great with animals. I am always excited to meet a new dog friend. I love to take my dog on walks so let me take care of your fur baby. I am able to provide specialized services for each dog, depending on their needs. I am reliable and patient, as I have a very spoiled hound dog myself. My availability is open and flexible. I am willing and able to work around your schedule to fit your needs. I would love to play fetch with your dog, run with your dog or just take them on a leisurely stroll in the park.

About: Hey! As a devoted fur mama myself, I promise to make it my mission to take care of your babies as I do my own. They will leave my care even more spoiled than they already are! 🥰 I would love to answer any and all questions and you are also welcome to see where your babies will be at when coming to my home. I look forward to meeting all those sweet babies! My fiancé and I do both work full time but I’m off on all weekends and he is off on Monday’s. We have plenty of time to fit your babies into our schedule and help out a fellow fur parent! I have plenty of space in our townhouse and a large grass area for them to be walked and play in. I have a medium sized crate if needed as well. Plenty of toys and running space for play time all day. A comfy couch and bed for the babies to take naps and many spaces for feeding time. To keep safe measure.

Jenna has been such a lifesaver! She takes great care of her pup clientele. 10/10 would recommend her! I was always sent an update, and plenty of pictures of the dogs getting some fresh air mid-day.

About: I have worked with animals as long as I can remember. I graduated with an Animal sciences degree at one of the only AZA (American Zoological Association) accredited Colleges/Schools in the United States. I have worked with a wide variety of species, including Venomous Reptiles, Fruit Bats, hoof-stock, primates and raptors. After I had children I switched to working with vets and worked for an AAHA accredited practice in Florida as a vet technician. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers. They enjoy long walks and playing in the snow. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of animals, including any exotics that may need cared for. Please reach out and connect with any animal questions you may have. And i look forward to meeting you and furry feathered or scaled creatures.

About: I’ve had many different dogs and cats since I was old enough to remember. From training my puppies to saving one of my dogs life, I’ve done it all! It would be a pleasure to care for your dog like it’s my own when you’re not able to! I work part time from home with my animal loving 2 year old daughter. We have almost unlimited time to care for your pet and we love to be outside walking and playing as much as we can! We have 2 cats indoors and 1 indoor/outdoor to keep your fur friends busy while you’re away! We would love to have our own dog but we travel too much. This means we can take all of that extra love and invest it into your fur babies while you are away! We can work with cats and dogs of all ages including training, crating, walking, bathing or just playing and snuggling!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Hope

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 182 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hope. 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 Hope. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
