“We needed a last minute dog walker for our 1 year old Husky. Caitlyn was GREAT! I loved seeing all the pictures and updates. She even cleaned up a little of a mess that Nuna made. Definately will be using her again!!”
“Brittany was fantastic taking care of our 15 year old, blind senior cat with health issues and our shy kitten. She was able to get the senior to take his oral medications everyday and provided very detailed updates and pictures during every visit. She was very communicative and always responded quickly. She was VERY accommodating when there was a mix up at the beginning of the stay (my fault) and she went back to the house for a second time. I trust her 100% to watch my babies while I was away. Highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Monica has been so sweet, and willing to come on last minute visit requests. She goes above and beyond anyone I’ve met, even voluntarily cleaning up puppy messes or accidents he might have gotten in to after breaking out of crates. She always keep me updated and sends the cutest photos. So thankful for her, and love to continue my pups play time with her.”
“Britney checked in on our dog, who gets a little too excited when people visit, and she did great! She let her outside and then did whatever our dog wanted to do (even if it was to just get pets and plug tug of war). She updated us about the visit promptly. Will ask Britney to help us again in the future!”
“Deanna was so lovely! She accommodated us as with a last minute request and responded quickly by asking lots of questions about our dogs, their habits, and needs. She followed our instructions to the letter and although it was a quick drop in, she still gave us a full report and pictures. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Katie gave my one cat a pill every day and scooped the litter box while we were away. She came over before we left to go over instructions and said she would message us if there were any issues. We came back to nice clean litter boxes, and we did not get any messages so I’m assuming she was good giving the medication! Thanks Katie!”
“Joanne came in on a last-minute request and did a phenomenal job winning the heart of my beloved cat. She did a fantastic job and put in a lot of effort to make my cat feel comfortable and loved. She was prompt and good with communication throughout the entire time that She watched my cat. Thank you, Joanne!”
About: Hi, I'm Bethany! I have been caring for pets for many of years and believe every animal deserves love and attentive care. I specialize in Labrador Retrievers, German Shorthair Pointers, and Goldendoodles. I am comfortable with administering medication such as insulin shots as well as given oral medication. I treat all pets like my own offering overnights in your home, drop-in visits, and walks. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable while you're away! I am very flexible and usually have tons of open availability as I do not have many customers at the moment so I would be available at most times! I have a large yard (no fence) for your animal to explore in. Plenty of dog toys for your pet to play with from my previous dog. Plenty of leashes to take your pet for a walk. I live on a quiet road with a quiet development behind me that’s great for walking.
About: Hi, we’re Bree (22) and Nick (23)! We have loved and cared for animals our entire lives. Growing up, our homes were always filled with pets, ranging from dogs and cats to hedgehogs and lizards! Because of this, we are incredibly comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and unique care needs. We absolutely love all animals and will do everything to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home when you’re away. When your pet is with us, they will get lots of attention, plenty of playtime, and a schedule that follows your requests. We promise to send you daily photo updates so you never have to worry. We can't wait to meet your furry family members! Bree: I will be the primary person taking care of your pets! As a graduate student and a part-time substitute teacher, my schedule is predictable. Depending on my workload, I may work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I would be away for short subbing shifts from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, meaning I am home all afternoon and evening. On Wednesdays, I have class, but to ensure pets are never left alone for too long, Nick can stop by during his lunch break for a midday potty and playtime break. Fridays-Sundays I have full availability! Nick: Nick has a full time job, so he will be available to help out when not working! Safety is my absolute top priority. I always ensure that doors, gates, and windows are closed before letting any animal roam. When we go for walks, pets are securely leashed at all times, and I am always aware of my surroundings. I ensure all hazardous items and human foods are stored far out of reach. For peace of mind, I provide clear communication and send regular photo and text updates throughout the day!
“Wow! Morgan is a fantastic sitter!! Timely and extremely attentive to our pups. Her communication with me made our time away easy. We have three dogs which can be worrisome however she made us feel at ease with them in her care. We will definitely book her again and thank her for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her services.”
“Was totally comfy and happy with the level of care and attention provided while I was away!! I’m sure my cats, especially Cid, will miss his new friend. Thank you so much for everything and merry christmas!”
“Is my second time booking with Isabelle who is very flexible & responsible. She took care of 4 dogs! No problems at all and I could relax knowing they were being looked after.”
About: I’m a veterinary student at Rowan and looking for a side gig. I’ve worked with paraplegic and elderly dogs, trained puppies, and volunteered at SPCA. I would be looking to work mainly on the weekends. If needed, I can occasionally work early evening (5 pm to 8 pm) on weekdays. I prioritize creating a safe environment by paying attention to each pet’s body language and behavior. Through the SPCA, I learned about pet psychology and how to recognize signs of fear or stress, as well as how to use appropriate handling techniques to build trust.
“Lauren visits my dogs weekly. Always on time, great communication, gets the oldest couch potato out of the house and into the yard, and takes great photos. I'm very happy and comfortable to leave my pampered boys in her care.”
“Kate was amazing with our dogs during our 2-week trip. She provided detailed report cards and a lot of photos each day. She works well with more than one dog! After meeting Kate before our trip, I knew our dogs were in good hands and it kept my anxiety down when we were away from them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I currently care for four cats of my own and recently fostered four sibling kittens, providing them with a safe and loving environment while they prepared for their forever homes. Over the years, I have also cared for friends' and family members' dogs, providing walks, companionship, feeding, and attentive care based on their individual routines. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, following specific instructions, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide compassionate, dependable loving care while you're away. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. close to home, which allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after work. I'm also available evenings, weekends, and many holidays. While I don't offer boarding or overnight care in my home, I'm happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and care in your pet's familiar environment. I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I make time to ensure every pet receives the attention, affection, and dependable care they deserve. While I don't offer boarding or overnight care in my home, I'm happy to provide drop-in visits and care in your pet's familiar environment.
“I’ve had family members come over and try to let my dog out before & couldn’t get her out but Alexandria did! I’m literally in shock and so so so grateful and happy with her! She also sent me videos and pictures. She truly is the best of the best!!”

I’m not sure Yaniera can do any wrong. She’s so reliable and helpful. At this point, she’s my cat’s Auntie. The pictures and short narratives she sends of Baby when I’m away let me know my cat feels loved and safe. Additionally, she’s brought in mail and packages that were visible and at my door, preventing theft. If you’re thinking about going with another sitter, don’t. Choose Yaniera. So grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,173 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jefferson. 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 Jefferson. On Rover:

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.
