“Thank you Alison for the fantastic photos and detailed information about the information I’ve conveyed I care the most about. And going above and beyond and my baby boy (cat) leans into you even without prolonged exposure or time btw you two which means you give off good cat instincts :) thank you for doing what you do! I trust you in my house and w my boy :)”
“Overall Sierra was great. She was very communicative and was willing to sort of modify what a normal visit would look like since I have pretty shy and anxious cats.”
“I can't recommend Zosha highly enough. I scheduled daily visits while we were on vacation for our cat Chloe to be given her medication and some love - and Zosha did such a great job at both! He went out of his way to give her plenty of affection and even treats on her puzzle toy. Everything was clean and left in great shape, Zosha was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures! Chloe is definitely a fan, and so are we. Thanks again, Zosha!”
“Amanda was great with our cat. She was very attentive to our care instructions and got along well with the cat who is usually very shy. She sent us numerous pictures each visit to show how the cat was doing. She was clearly happy, healthy, and relaxed in Amanda’s care. I would definitely request her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Mitzi was incredible with Pumpkin! She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, and communicated with all updates throughout the day. I already plan to have her watch Pumpkin again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and have raised my 7-year-old Australian Shepherd since she was a puppy. I’m experienced with daily walks, exercise, feeding, basic training, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’ve also cared for friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat them like my own! I work regular daytime hours, so I’m mainly available before or after work and on weekends. Whether you’re going on vacation, traveling for work, or just need someone to check in on your pet, I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone is caring for your pets in your home. I’m attentive to your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. During visits, I’ll make sure doors and gates are securely closed, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and leave your home clean and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pet is different. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where your pets can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”
“Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!”
“Sara did an excellent job looking after our cat! She was thoughtful, timely, and communicated well with us to make sure our cat was well taken care of. I would recommend her highly!”
“Alexis is an excellent cat sitter. Her Rover Cards are very thorough and her communication is excellent. My partner and I are very attached to our girl Gracie but we were put at ease while we were away by Alexis’s kindness and professionalism. I’d happily recommend her to any doting cat parents!”
About: Hi there! I love animals and have been dog sitting since 2012! I myself have owned dogs growing up and adopted a cat named Albus in 2014! I also have experience with fish, bunnies, chickens, geckos, chameleons, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and frogs! I previously volunteered at a local zoo putting together meals for animals so I had plenty of experience with meal prep and feedings, even with live food. If you are not seeing availability for what you need please message me! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to do a formal interview! I work weekdays between 8 and 5. I am free after work on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and after 7pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. House sitting may be limited to the weekend depending on my work schedule. I may have some flexibility with advanced notice, please feel free to message me if you aren’t seeing availability for what you need. Most of my availability will be during weekends at any time of day. I love playing with animals and will happily keep them entertained! I also will give plenty of pets and affection if you pet enjoys that! I have worked with many dogs and cats of all ages and levels of energy and can accommodate accordingly! I love snapping photos (if ok’d) of your pets to share with you!

I can’t thank Tricia enough! This was the first time my cat ever had a cat sitter and let someone in my own and Tricia was so communicative and kind from the very beginning to the meet and greet. All the photos each visit made me feel a little less sad being away knowing she was in great hands!! Just amazing attention to detail took so many notes from the meet and greet reached out with questions!! I am so thankful to have found her!!!!
Sarah has watched our cat at least three times now for extended periods of time and has done an excellent job every single time. She goes the extra mile by offering to do things such as watering plants, tidying up, rinsing off dishes, visiting extra days, and we are very appreciative and fortunate to have Sarah helping us, thank you!
Katerine & Brian did a great job taking care of my kitten! It was my first time leaving her home alone for multiple days in a row and they made sure they cared for her like their own. I received updates each day with many pictures which made leaving her a little more bearable. I will definitely use them in the future next time I need someone to watch my cat again!
Victoria was wonderful with both of my cats. She was caring, attentive, reliable and kept me updated throughout her visits.Even my usually shy cat warmed up and came to her which really showed how gentle and comfortable she made him feel.I felt completely at ease knowing both of my cats were in such good hands. She clearly loves animals and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book her again!
Elisabeth came through for us in a crisis and we can’t recommend her enough! She was flexible and willing to extend her pet sitting duties by a couple of days when the airlines cancelled our flight. Also our kitties loved her and she did a stellar job with photo updates.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Idylwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Idylwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
