“Caitlin is the best! She is super flexible and goes above and beyond! She was so helpful not only with my cats but with things that happened around the house while I was gone!”
“Robin took fantastic care of our baby and she was excellent about keeping us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely use her again and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Greetings from Gold Bar ~ This was our first booking with Jordan. She approaches animal care with true professionalism and a very friendly touch. We could tell by the photographs that Max [our aging kitty] was very content throughout our time away. Max is like a puppy-that-purrs. He needs the kind of companionship that dogs want but also his private napping time. Jordan intuitively understood his requirements. This resulted in a happy feline and relaxed owners!”
“The cats loved their time with Kali! Kali took exceptional care of them during my time away and it was very clear how grateful they were having Kali check up on them from the photos she took!”

About: My name is Shannon and I am 42 years old. Me and my husband currently have 4 crazy dogs who we take on adventures all the time. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 11 years. I am working part time and I am hoping to fill some of my free time walking dogs. I am very experienced with handling dogs in all situations. I have done dog walking and pet sitting in the past. I am available most weekdays and some weekends. Currently working part time as a veterinary assistant. I would love to have regular walks scheduled but can be available for last minute needs. I will not be bringing dogs to my home or bringing my dogs around any other dogs as my dogs do not get along with other dogs. I have my own very reliable vehicle that I can use to transport pets if needed for different walking experiences.
About: I have 27 years of experience in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections, caring for senior pets, and monitoring pets with special medical needs. I understand how important it is to provide patient, compassionate, and reliable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently work very part time. Typically 2 shifts a week in the evenings. The longest I would be away from your pets would be approximately 9 hours 1-2x weekly. I am also on call for my aging family members. They are close so my time away is minimal. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully, while monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. With 27 years of veterinary experience, I understand the importance of safety, attention to detail, and clear communication with pet owners.
About: Vet experience plus raising a puppy at home helps me care for pups of all ages with love, training, and gentle attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m home all the time and have weekends off work, so I can give your furry child lots of love and attention! I care for pets by giving daily medications, playing with my energetic puppy in our fenced yard, and using a crate if needed to keep them safe and comfortable.
“Holly is an amazingly friendly and skilled pet caretaker! She was communicative and showed up on time every day. I was so grateful to have her to help me give my kitty his meds while my wife was away. She clearly has an enormous amount of experience with animals at all different stages of life, and my grumpy old man took to her very quickly and she handled him without any issues. She handled him better than any of the vets he's seen, in person or at home, so clearly she's some sort of Cat Whisperer! ^-^”
“Susannah was fantastic at communicating the status of our pet during her visits. She brought in our packages and even put the garbarge cans in from the curb, helping keep our house safe. We would definitely book Susannah again.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jordan watch our cats when we are out of town and Jordan did an incredible job again, was very attentive and sent great pictures each visit. We will definitely look for Jordan’s availability first next time we are out of town!”
“I cannot even begin to explain how much of a lifesaver Rebecca was while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in everything she did. I didn't worry about my kitty at all while I was gone because I knew she was in such good hands. She was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures of my girl so I didn't miss her quite so much. We will definitely be using Rebecca for our next vacation if she is available!”
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
About: Loving family of 5 ready to spoil your precious ones! I am a stay at home mom of three wonderful kids (19, 16, 10) who love animals. We live in a great, safe neighborhood with lots of great walking. We have a fully fenced yard and just enough room to roam. I am excited to offer our services as a host for your loved ones. We look forward to working with you! Why I love dog sitting We currently have 1, almost 4 yr old male Cavapoo, named Harley. He has been part of our family since he was 10 weeks old. He gets very excited when visitors come and is always curious and friendly. At first he is a bit uneasy around other dogs, but quickly gets acquainted and usually just keeps to himself. About my yard Our yard is a rectangular shape with several trees and is fully fenced. Our home is two levels with the upper portion being all carpet. My plan would be to have your little one on the lower level when with us, even when sleeping. Our dog Harley is not allowed upstairs and he is crate-trained and sleeps downstairs also. My experience administering medication Yes I am as long as I am shown how to do that properly. I’m a stay at a home mom, with 2 kiddos doing school from home and other than errands and other short trips away from home, we are home the majority of the time. I am able to give daily exercise and play. I have a great fenced yard for your dog to roam and explore. I always create a comfortable spot for their bed in our home, fresh water and food. We like to give treats when they are provided and my kiddos love to play and cuddle
About: I've been dog-sitting for 5+ years now(outside of Rover), worked at a doggy daycare for a year, volunteered at a dog boarding facility during the holidays, and have a cat of my own. I am also experienced in animal care for more animals that Rover won't let me type here. So if you have a farm that needs care, I am able to provide! I am currently doing pet sitting FULL-TIME! Please, if you need a sitter in the Monroe area, now is the time to book! My calendar is completely open, and I can care for your animals at any time for as long as you need. I love treating all animals as equals by treating them the way I want to be treated: with kindness, care, and love. I will never hit, yell, stomp at, or forcefully move an animal. If they are in danger, then I may move them or give a stern command(danger meaning an emergency such as a fight, fire, or if they're going to eat/touch something they can't).`

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,756 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Index. 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Index. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
