“Samantha was wonderful! We scheduled 3 daily visits for our very social cats and she ket us updated at each visit. Our male Tabby had urinary issues resulting in PU surgery and Samantha made sure Beau drank plenty of water. Our Tuxedo, Poppy, who is notoriously shy even made a couple of appearances while we were gone. Samantha did a great job caring for our babies and we will definitely book her services again!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me 15 years of hands-on experience across all breeds and sizes. From large, powerful breeds like Rottweilers, Pitbulls, and Great Danes to spirited Schnauzers and my current 4-year-old French Bulldog, I understand how to adjust my care to every dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup needs confident, experienced handling on walks or gentle, focused attention, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pet care is my top priority! I manage my schedule carefully to ensure every dog gets full attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and daily exercise. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I have flexible availability to match your dog's exact daily routine. Having raised dogs my whole life—from large breeds like Great Danes and Pitbulls to smaller pups like my Frenchie—I prioritize safety above all else. In your home, I keep the environment secure, strictly follow all feeding and leash protocols, and provide frequent updates and photos so you have total peace of mind.

“Alexandra was such a great help. I submitted a last-minute request for someone to come feed my two little furry guys. She quickly responded and we went over the details for their care. She kept them fed and happy and provided me with great pictures/updates. I will definitely request her services again.”

“We had such a great experience! 😊 She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, making sure their dry food stayed filled, giving them fresh water daily, and even keeping up with their wet food routine. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Everything was clean, organized, and our cats seemed happy and relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!). Communication was great too, we really appreciated the updates. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again! 🐾”

About: My name is Patric A. and I come originally from Stockholm, Sweden. I have grown up with pets all my life (mostly dogs) since I was a little baby. I just love being around animals. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, horses for friends and family because they know they can trust their pet with me. I am right here in Prince William County to take care of your pet while you are out of town. We will keep you updated while you are gone so you know that your pet is safe and in good hands while you are away. We will take notes on your routines and how you take care of your pet so it will feel that their lives have not changed too much while you are gone. I am walking dogs and pet sitting on a full time basis and have plenty of time to stop by and walk, play or feed your pet I offer pet sitting in your home and take notes of how you would like me to take care of your pet, if it is playing, feeding, giving medication, or any routines that you might have.

“Nadia has been an excellent sitter for my cat. She took great care of all of her basic needs (like cleaning the litter box and feeding her), and also took the extra time to play with her and give her love while I was away. She let me know that my cat threw up on the carpet, cleaned it up, and kept an eye on her to make sure she was okay! Nadia goes above and beyond!”

About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I bring with animals at every stage of life. I’ve bottle-fed newborns, cared for senior dogs with patience and love, and have extensive experience giving medicine to pets of all kinds. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for guinea pigs and reptiles,so I understand that every animal has unique needs. With me, you can trust that your pet will be treated like family, whether that means playtime, specialized care, or extra snuggles. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I plan my schedule to prioritize feeding times, walks, and any special care instructions so that pets always receive consistent attention. I’m organized, dependable, and detail-oriented, which allows me to maintain each pet’s routine reliable,whether it’s daily exercise, administering medicine, or simply giving them the reassurance they need while you’re away. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe and supervised environment where I treat them like family. I’m experienced with bottle-feeding young animals, administering medications, and providing gentle care for senior pets. I also have hands-on experience with small animals like guinea pigs and reptiles, so I understand how to meet a variety of unique needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding, exercise, and care routines exactly as directed, while adding the patience and attentiveness that comes with my experience. Whether it’s giving medicine on schedule, offering extra support to older pets, or ensuring younger animals burn off energy in healthy ways, I provide reliable and compassionate care.

About: I have had animals all my life, and quite the variety!!! I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, spiders, ferrets, etc! I have some horse experience as well, although I'm a little rusty, however, if you gave me a list I'd be sure to figure it out! I'm not afraid to ask questions, and I'm always making sure your furry friend(s) are handled with only the best care! I am very patient and observant, and I always try to stay calm in stressful situations. Currently I have open availability! I am spending my days with my babies and I am happy to take on some new furry friends to help out with! No worries if it's last minute, feel free to contact me and maybe we can work something out! I live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks to walk on! I plan on taking your pup on plenty of walks outside, or maybe even to a near by dog park if permitted!!! When going outside for walks or to a park, I am always very aware of my surroundings. I always will make sure there is a limitless amount of water offered as well.

About: I am 33 years old, happily married, a licensed paramedic, and have been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. Growing up I worked at my family's business for over a decade, a Daycare for Dogs, and have vast experience with all shapes and sizes. I'm very comfortable administering any kind of pet medication and caring for our 4 legged friends needing special attention. In my personal life I also own take care of Cats and would love to meet and take care of all your furry family. I believe that pet sitting does not just stop with your pets, but the job continues to the house. Whether you need your mail picked up, your packages brought in or your plants watered, I consider that I’ll part of the job. "Everyone thinks that they have the best pet and none of them are wrong" "Be the person your dog thinks you are." "All you need is love from a cat" I'm newly located in Manassas and have enough schedule flexibility that I can provide morning or evening pet care. We can discuss any specific scheduling needs you may have. I'm unfortunately living in an apartment and not able to care for your pets in my own home. I'm a licensed paramedic and have a 100% clean background - I'll always leave a client's home exactly as they left it.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Joplin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 4,057 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joplin. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joplin. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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 , 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.
