“Great service and very responsive before during and after. Always kept us updated to date and respectful of our time and home. Kept us informed with our pets and cared for them as if they were her own. Highly recommend”
About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
About: I am a true animal lover! Growing up with both Boston Terriers and Boxers, I learned to adapt to the needs of the individual animals around me. My beloved Boston Terrier, Dorothy, was with me from puppyhood until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 16 in 2025. My current animal squad consists of two senior kitties and two large but loving rescue dogs! I understand all animals need a little something different, and they all deserve respect and patience! My goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I’m a mom to a toddler and am looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income while doing something I love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan visits around my family’s schedule. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their individual routine. Pets will be cared for with the utmost respect and compassion! These furry guys and gals are your family. They will receive the attention they want and deserve. All interactions will be based upon YOUR direction - what to feed, when to feed, where they sleep, etc. You may be at work or out of town, but they are still your baby and I will keep them in their routine.
“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”
“Reagan was great! She did drop-in visits for our cats while we were on vacation and handled everything perfectly. She followed all of our instructions and sent quick replies to our messages. Our cats loved her. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 18. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. My family is everything to me, and we love that we can have your pets apart of our family! I’m a stay at home mama to my amazing kids and two dogs! We have a fenced in yard that they love to play around in and we enjoy walks everyday it’s nice out! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company! I’m very accommodating if your dog needs extra love! I am always home so they won’t ever be left alone for long periods of time.
About: I’ve helped pet sit for friends and family for several years now. I have my own 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. I have had him since he was 3 months old. I also grew up having family dogs and cats. I even helped take care of brother’s bearded dragon when he was in college. I spent 3 years working alongside 2 certified professional trainers learning to train my own dog. I am currently a daycare teacher working with infants and preschoolers. I am also in a master’s program to get my teaching degree in teaching high school English. I am currently a daycare teacher working most days. Sometimes I start at 6:30am, sometimes at 8am, and other times at noon. I usually work till 6:15pm, but sometimes I get scheduled to be off early. It varies every week, but I can put in requests ahead of time to start or end at a certain time if need be. I have a 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. He loves everyone and all animals. He was raised around other dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon since I brought him home at 3 months old. I have worked alongside 2 certified professional trainers to help train Maverick to be the best behaved dog. I have trained Maverick to the point that he has several awards and certifications in obedience, rally, and scent work. I currently live with my sister’s two dogs and brother’s cat. I cannot pet sit at my house currently due to having other dogs and cats in my home, but I am more than happy to go to a client’s home, and pet sit, walk, let animals outside, etc.
“I enjoyed having Cassandra take care of my cats this past weekend! She was consistent in getting in touch with me about visits and also gave them great care! They were very happy when I got home and were in the mood to play with their cat toys! I have great confidence in pet sitter Cassandra!”
“This is the second time I’ve used Kaitlin and absolutely love her taking care of my kitty. Makes traveling so much easier and feeling way less guilty as she takes great care of her and shows up and spends quality time with her.”
“Erin was a total joy to have sitting in my home. She fulfilled her work schedule and returned to my 2 Maine Coons. She is gentle, respectful, and kind to my kitties, and worked well with my one shy kitty, who sought refuge under my bed. I am very pleased with her care, and will definitely use her again! She also took care to leave my home as she found it. What a joy! Roslyn”
“Chelsea was amazing and helped me out at the last minute when I really needed someone. She was incredibly responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”
“Brianna was prompt, professional, and proactive. She took great care of my cat while I was away and made it easy to be relaxed and know that everything was taken care of.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,222 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Independence. 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 Independence. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
