“Paul was fantastic with my two kitties. He was very communicative, consistent and sent plenty of great photos while I was away! He made sure to play and cuddle with them in addition to taking care of them. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
About: I've been taking care of the family pet's for as long as I could remember. From our adopted twin cats, may they Rest In Peace, to our current dog Piper, they've always been my best friends. As a young adult in their 20s, i decided to spend my early years trying to relearn how to love and love life. I travel to different cities for long periods of time to see different cultures, lifestyles, and yes, even animals! My days consist mostly me just reading, writing, going for walks or hikes, and learning to manage my social anxiety. Pet and/or house sitting takes no time from my daily life and quite frankly, i enjoy it more than most jobs i’ve worked in my adolescence. As someone who is now traveling state to state I am only taking house visits, dog walking, and drop-ins! I adapt easily to different environments.
“Jenna was amazing! I am so thankful I found her😁 She took great care of my dog, sent amazing reports and photos, and eased the anxiety I felt at leaving for a trip. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment booking with Jenna!!!”
“This was our second time working with Alanna and she’s phenomenal. We’ve booked her for a week of drop ins for our pup later this summer as well. She is responsive, provides great updates, and I feel so lucky to have found someone that cares for my boy as much as I do. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet Alanna in person yet but have complete trust in her based on our communication and tuckers care results. Go ahead and book with her!”
“Emily is incredible. This was the first time I had left my pets with anyone and it was Emily that I trusted to care for them. She took time to meet me and them in advance to make sure we were all comfortable with her. My pups instantly loved her. She is kind, thoughtful and professional. She cared for my girls as if they were her own and kept me posted on their activities and well being. I will definitely ask for help in the future without hesitation.”
“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”
“Lucy was really attentive while taking care of my two cats. She adapted to their needs whether it was a little extra food, play time, or letting my indoor/outdoor cat have some fresh air time. I appreciated her thorough updates and cute pictures!”
“Katy was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs. When an issue with our puppy came up she was quick to let us know what was going on and take needed and good care of him. She was a life saver! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Olivia took fantastic care of our cat Milton! He is older and usually very shy around strangers, but she was able to make friends with him over the course of our time away and he came out for scritches and treats!💖”
About: Hi there! I’m Shaylee. I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with dogs and bunnies, and took horseback riding lessons as a kid. My family bred several litters of Golden Retrievers, so I’m familiar and comfortable with puppies. I have my own sweet pup, Birdie. She loves to swim, hike and play fetch. I often help out with friends’ pets, and would love to care for others! I’ve cared for reactive dogs in the past, and am open to any additional measures I may need to take to ensure everyone’s comfort. I’m confident in my ability to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m about to begin a grad program at MSU and will have classes Monday and Wednesday through the summer. Other than that, I’m pretty flexible! I know each animal is unique in what they need to be happy and healthy, and I follow all instructions to a T to make sure they get the care they need. I also certainly watch for concerning behavior or symptoms that may indicate illness or distress, and will always check in if I think something’s up. I’ll treat your animal like my own!
“Melissa is fantastic with my dog Winter. She seems to care about him in ways that other sitters don’t. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in good hands with her.”
About: I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I Currently don’t have any pets so yours will be my top priority. Currently a full time college student so I have pretty flexible hours. I can always check in on pets in between classes or in my free time. Willing to do whatever is necessary. If you have any specific requirements for your pets just let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate them to the best of my ability.
About: I WANT TO TAKE YOUR DOG HIKING TOO! Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a dedicated Animal Sciences graduate from Oregon State University (Chemistry minor) with four years of hands-on experience at a professional dog boarding facility, plus extensive large-animal and livestock care that gives me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and nutrition. At Double C Dog Boarding I worked full-time for two years and part time for one, I was responsible for the daily care of 10-45 dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I handled feeding customized diets, administering medications, providing exercise and playtime, monitoring health, and creating a calm, home-like environment so every dog felt safe and happy while their families were away. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, seniors, anxious dogs, and multi-dog groups, and I’ve built a reputation for being reliable, patient, and attentive. My formal training and other roles make me even more equipped to care for your pets: • Worked as a Student Worker at the OSU Horse Center (stall cleaning, feeding, turnout, hoof care, and medication). • Served as Student Ranch Hand at the OSU Beef Ranch, checking cattle daily, treating injuries, and repairing fencing. • Conducted beef nutrition research at OSU, performing blood draws, fecal sampling, rumen fluid collection, and precise diet management. • Currently a Communications Intern at the Oregon Farm Bureau, where I continue promoting animal welfare and agriculture. I’m extremely reliable, a clear communicator, and I genuinely love what I do. Whether you need overnight boarding, drop-ins, or just a trustworthy sitter who truly understands animals, I’m here to give your dog the same high-quality, loving care I’ve provided for years. I’m based in OR and would love to meet you and your pup! Feel free to message me with any questions. 🐾 I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to cater to and come see your pets! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so please feel free to reach out! In your home, I will follow your pet’s exact daily routines, feeding schedules, and preferences to keep everything feeling familiar and stress-free. Using my years of professional boarding experience and Animal Sciences background, I’ll provide fresh water and meals, give medications if needed, offer plenty of playtime and enrichment, and monitor closely for any changes in behavior or health. I’m reliable and committed to treating your pets like my own while keeping your home respected and cared for.

My Clover kitten, my fish, chickens, and houseplants are all in good hands with Paul Louis. He is by far and away the best home + pet sitter I have ever known. He is impeccable with his communication and always goes above and beyond—treating my home and family with the care he would show his own. Thank you once again, Paul Louis!
Adrienne was a fantastic sitter for our three cats who love attention. She was very reliable and communicative and sent update messages and photos, all of which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling for 6 days out of state. The cats obviously loved her, as even the shy one would come out to get pets and to play. We hope to have Adrienne back again to care for them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kerns on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 247 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kerns. 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 Kerns. 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.
