“Hannah was great all around -- she was super responsive to my last minute scheduling and rescheduling requests, and was very knowledgeable about pets and super attentive to their needs -- her experience working in pet shelters clearly showed. She was very conscientious all around and also provided me with a lot of helpful suggestions for my once feral cat that I really appreciated. Her communication with me was timely and informative and I will happily rebook with her - thank you again Hannah for your much appreciated assistance!”
“Irene always takes such good care of my asthmatic fur baby! I love having a local animal lover in the community I can pretty much always rely on to love on my cat while I’m away. 12/10 recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
“Brigette did an amazing job caring for our fur babies while we were away. She’s very attentive and responsive; sends wonderful pix and videos through the stay. Definitely book her if you’re looking for an awesome and responsible pet sitter!”
“Mitty was amazing! she looked after yuki so well and was extremely patient with coordination and getting yuki use to a new atmosphere. I got plenty of pictures and really creative videos of yuki throughout the stay. Would definitely utilise her services again, so grateful!”
About: Big or small, I’ve probably kissed it on the nose! My vet hospital experience gives me the ability to acknowledge changes in each species better than most. I’m a lover of horses and cows, so big dogs wouldn’t be any different for me. I’m happy to administer medications, keep up with a training schedule/routine, keep up with their energy needs by going to the dog park or walks, etc. I’m known to be a confident, compassionate, and reliable person with animals. I’m a morning person! I’m available most mornings and evenings. My class schedule doesn’t have me on campus for extended periods of time. I don’t have classes on Fridays and am looking to do this as my main income source! I will happily respect your house rules, but I could cuddle all day long with the fur balls! Growing up, I was totally guilty of letting my dog in bed and giving some human food. Now, I understand the importance of discipline and routine. I’m happy to follow your routine and give ample pet kisses along the way! I am sure to treat every pet as my own. If I notice a lump, bump, cut, etc. I’m never one to assume you already know about it. Their happiness and health is my top priority.
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting since age 14 in Long Island, NY. I’m studying Animal Science on a Pre-Vet track at Penn State and currently work at a veterinary clinic, where I gain experience with many different animals. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. As a Penn State student, I have some longer breaks between classes throughout the week. I usually enjoy going on walks during that free time, so I thought, why not have a furry friend join me? I’d love to make those walks a little more fun while giving your pets some extra attention and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure to follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from their owners. I also make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I always try to make them feel at home.
About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your beloved pets with someone new. That’s why I’ll make it my priority to maintain their usual routine and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid! I have always loved animals and was always eager to take care of neighbors pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own which I adore. I currently live at home with my 2 dogs as my sister is taking care of the cats. I am a new graduate physician assistant currently applying to jobs and have time off at the moment! Have tons of availability to take care of your lovely pets:) Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, secure environment and always supervise pets appropriately.
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs of all sizes, energies, and breeds! From energetic puppy playtime and structured neighborhood walks to cozy senior snuggles, I know exactly how to keep your pup happy, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Hello. My name is Tricia and l bring more than nine years of professional veterinary medical experience, along with many years of caring for animals in my own home, as well as the homes of others. My experience includes dogs and cats as well as ferrets and a variety of small companion animals, giving me a broad understanding of different personalities, needs, and comfort levels. What sets me apart is not only my professional animal-care background, but the way I approach the animals entrusted to me. I believe animals deserve to be treated with patience, kindness, respect, and compassion. I do not believe in forcing or intimidating an animal into compliance. Instead, I pay attention to what each individual animal is communicating and work to help them feel safe and comfortable in my care. My veterinary experience has also taught me to be observant. I understand the importance of noticing changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or general demeanor that someone without a medical background might overlook. I am comfortable caring for animals with a wide variety of needs and understand the importance of following an owner’s instructions carefully. I am mature, dependable, and responsible, and I understand what it means to have someone trust me with both a beloved animal and access to their home. I have reliable transportation, can offer flexibility with scheduling, and may be available with relatively short notice. Whether your pet is outgoing and immediately wants to make a new friend or needs a little more time and space to become comfortable, I am happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for. I have one dog named, Cooper and two kitties named, Luna and Liebchen! I am comfortable watching your pet(s) in the clients home, preferably. Definitely cats, as mine get stressed out around new cats.
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Houserville
We left for Europe for two weeks and we chose Jana to watch after our sweet little kitty. We are so happy to have done so. She is so professional, so caring and grew a connection with our boy. We are so happy with everything Jana did and all her drop in visits. We would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.
This was our first time using Suki for our cats and she was GREAT! She said she would do evening feed at 5 pm and morning feed at 6:30 am and she arrived at exactly those times. She fed everyone, changed waters, cleaned litter boxes, cleaned up cat bowls from prior feeding and left everything exactly as she found it. We would absolutely recommend Suki and will use her as our petsitter again!
Once again Samantha was great and I was thankful I was able to book her somewhat last minute! She made sure my cat got all of her medicine, which is not always an easy task, and went above and beyond by bringing in mail/ packages and watering some of my plants (which I did not ask her to do).
Miri was AMAZING with my two kitty girls! She went above and beyond - took great care of them. She was very communicative & took so many photos (in which the girls looked SO relaxed - my senior cat even came out for visits which is very unusual, sitters rarely see her)! My only complaint is that I wish I had booked her sooner during my time at PSU - she is a fantastic sitter who has her own cats & really has such a good vibe! Thank you Miri!!!! 🫶🏻🐾
Irene did a great job watching our two kittens and adult cat while we were on vacation. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. She made sure our fur babies were taken care of which allowed us to enjoy our time away with no worries. Thank you Irene!
Esmee did an incredible job taking care of my cat Teto over the winter period. They were always on time and did everything I had asked of them, and more! They were incredibly attentive and would play with him each day. I'd highly recommend Esmee to anybody who's looking for a reliable and sweet pet sitter. They also sent me sweet photos of him every day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Houserville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
