“My cat, Ruby, was very well taken care of while I had to be out of town! She gets super anxious while I'm gone, but I could tell by the pictures Melissa sent that she was getting lots of love. I was also very pleased and surprised that Melissa had cleaned the cat food dishes and spoons! Very nice!”

“She took such good care of our four cats. Our youngest cat is skittish around strangers. I figured that he would hide from her the whole time. But he eventually felt comfortable to play laser with her. Yay!”

About: I have had 5 dogs throughout my life, and have been the primary caregiver for them. My most recent dogs have lived to be 15&16 years old, so I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. When I am not working on the weekend as a nurse, I work at home doing school work for my masters program. I love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they have plenty of attention. Dog owners will not have to worry about their dogs when they're away, I will treat your pet just like a family member. Their will be loved, pet, and given exceptional care, love and affection with my services. I will also do small chores around the house if needed (ex: dishes, sweepings, and vacuuming). I currently work on Saturday and Sunday as a staff nurse at the local children’s hospital, and during the week I do school work for a Masters program at Vanderbilt. I do my school work at home, so I can travel to your pet and spend time with them during the week while you’re at work. I’ve managed several dogs throughout the years and can provide medications, crate them, give them food and water, and play with them until their hearts content!

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique needs and routine. I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention so pet parents can feel confident while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I have a part time and only work 2-3days a week so I have an open schedule to do a lot of caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that is playful with everyone.I will also follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner.

About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I understand the need for help when caring for your pets, and I would love to offer my help to make your lives a little easier and to ensure your pets are treated like family even when you're not around. I personally have my own dog and cat, and I know how it is leaving them when you are not around. I hope to bring comfort and ease of mind for you, knowing your fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I have occasionally helped neighbors and friends with their own. I am not scared to clean up messes and I have experience with administering oral and topical medications. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! In your own home, I will respect any rules you have for your pets and take care of your pet and your home as if it was my own. My schedule is very open and I am very flexible in working around your needs and schedule! I am in school but everything can be done remotely so I can stay home and hang with your pups! I make sure to keep a good eye on the pets, making sure they are safe and well taken care of. I want to bring comfort for your pets while you are away, loving them as my own! I will play with them if that’s what they like and also make sure to keep their routines as close to normal while you are away. I will also make sure to clean as we go and make sure when you return, you are returning to your home as you left it. I am more than willing to do chores around the house and also clean up after animals.

About: 10+ years experience in the veterinary field. I am comfortable with all breeds and personalities. Providing both peace of mind and exceptional care while you’re away. Hello! My name is Jennifer, but I go by my middle name, Laurel. I’ve been working with animals my entire life. I started my career at the University of Tennessee Veterinary Medical Hospital in 2006 and I’ve been pet sitting since 2008. Although I took a break around 2020, I’m back doing what I love while I’m enrolled in college courses. Thank you for the opportunity to be your pet sitter while you’re away! I do require that all pets be on a leash or within a secure fenced yard. I do not feel comfortable providing off leash walks in the event your pup gets startled or scared.

About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.

“Lucas was amazing! We had a last minute need for someone to lay our dogs out on a holiday weekend. I inquired at close to midnight and he responded quickly - which is a bonus because I didn’t expect to hear anything until morning! He communicated when he was there, let us know he was running a few minutes late, and sent us pictures! We will definitely use Lucas again.”

About: I have 10+ years of professional animal handling experience as well as Dog training. I am Fear Free certified and I specialize in animals who experience anxiety, aggression and reactivity. I love all breeds and understand their different characteristics. I worked in a anima shelter for many years and with that experience I have learned to build trust with animals who are unsure of new surroundings or people. I have a huge heart and will treat your pet like my own. I am currently working full time as a pet sitter and dog walker. I need to know at least 5 day in advance, If you are needing 24 hr care we can discuss that. I can pet sit over night and on weekends or as needed. I do drop ins as well and I like to know 3 days in advance for drop in visits. I like to set up meet and greets before pet sitting so that we can get to know one another and I can learn abut any medical or safety concerns you may have. I will always leash walk if you do not have proper fence and I like to be out side with them while they are out in a fenced in area. I have worked in a animal hospital and have basic medical knowledge for cats and dogs. I am CPR CERTIFIED and comfortable administering insulin. I am currently working full time as a pet sitter and my main priority is to give you peace of mind and to keep your pets routine as normal as possible. I don’t mind letting your furkids sleep with me so that they can feel safe with me, I also post updates regularly with pictures or videos. I also carry pet insurance.

Courtney did an excellent job taking care of our cats! They usually hide and don't eat much while we're gone, but they always greeted her at the door and ate really well! I could tell they were comfortable with her right off the bat. She kept us updated well throughout the weekend, and I'll definitely be using her services again

Jessica was incredible with my new anxious cat. She was a life saver! She came over to do my new adopted cat’s ear drops for me because I was having a hard time and she was able to get my runner of a cat, wrap him up gently and administer the drops. So grateful for her help.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Karns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Karns is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Karns. 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 Karns. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
