“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”
“Royce is truly a gem. She is so kind with my cats and was kind enough to wash dishes in the sink despite that not at all being her responsibility. She is just vsry thoughtful. Thank you so much for being the best to my furbabies!”
“Billy was great with our two cats! We live more in the country, and he took the time to come see our house setup before we left. He was very understanding when a few issues arose from our end, and he provided great updates during his visits. We would definitely use him again!”
About: Hey there, welcome! I’m newly married and my husband and I bought a home here in Bertram the summer of 2024. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and chickens. I’m looking forward to meeting neighbors and their loved fur babies! I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for about 6 years now, mostly in emergency and specialty surgeries. I have experience from young puppies and kittens to seniors. I currently work a rotating overnight shift in emergency so let me know your needs and your pets needs. If you would like additional references or information, don’t hesitate to message me to find your answers! Let me know what attracted you to my Rover page! I’m currently working part time at an emergency animal hospital in Austin. My shifts are picked up as relief shifts so my availability is flexible. Let me know what your pets normal day looks like! Earning trust and going at the animals pace to warm up to each other. I’d love to know where they love to be pet or their favorite toys and/or activities.
“With Tristen, all relief that my little’s were safe and sound and attended to meant the world to me. I was free to be the mother of the groom and focused on my son, his bride and the different events in their ceremonially weekend 💗 Thank you Tristen, and for the photos too.”
“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”
“Errin is the best!! She loves on and cares for my kitties as if they were her own. I never worry when we leave our kitties in her care. Two of my kitties meet her at the door and supervise her while she's there...lol. In September she squeezed me in, on short notice, to attend a family funeral. That shows how exceptional she is. I wouldn't use any other sitter unless she wasn't available and I needed one in an emergency. I'm a customer for as long as I have kitties and I hope she never stops doing what she loves...taking care of pets!!”
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog back home in China, and I am currently living with two cats here in the U.S. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a hybrid work schedule and only go into the office 1–2 days a week. The rest of the week, I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and lots of attention and company. On my work-from-home days, your pets will have someone around for most of the day. I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable, play, and explore safely. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I understand that every dog and cat has a different personality, so I’ll give them the attention, affection, or personal space they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away and contact you right away if I notice anything unusual.
“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have had very well behaved pets my entire life that I've taken the main responsibility for, and I can ensure your pets will be just as cared about like they're my own! I can train, play, deep clean, administer medication in any way you need me to ensure the health of you animals :) I do online school, so I have plenty of time to take care of any kind of pets! Weekend stays or late night sits, you can count on me to be there for you fur babies when you need it the most :) I take extra care of surroundings, because your home is not only yours, but also your pets. They deserve the best environment, even while their favorite people are away!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up in a home full of pets, which sparked my passion for caring for them. I spent four years working in the veterinary field, gaining hands-on experience and deepening my love for animal care. During that time, I worked as a kennel technician for two years and as a veterinary technician assistant for another two years, providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care for pets on a regular basis, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a friendly 7-year-old dog who loves companionship and playtime! I also have a huge fenced yard, perfect for pets to safely run and enjoy the outdoors.
About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.
“Ella did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating with us daily and was patient and persistent in wooing our shy outside kitties. We'll definitely have her house/pet sit for us again!”
“Chelsey is amazing. She is kind, professional, and our dog Maggie loved her immediately. Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit. My fiance and I loved meeting Chelsey so we booked weekly recurring visits to help Maggie have more fun when we are at work.”
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 926 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Joppa. 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.

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.
