“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!”
“Katy took very good care of my kitty while I was gone. She gave me detailed updates with each visit which I really appreciate. I will definitely be asking her back next time I am out of town. Thank you Katy!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds of different breeds, ages, temperaments, energy levels, sizes, and needs. Whether in my own home, or in the homes of family and friends, I've been trusted to look after multiple dogs at a time. I've trained my own dogs since puppies, and feel confident in my ability to train your pets whether it be trick, basic obedience, or even potty training. I also have lots of experience walking large dogs with lots of energy that struggle to walk on leash. I am currently a student at MSU with plenty of time to check in on, take care of, walk, and love on your furry friends daily. I've spent two summers working at the Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter taking care of and loving on the pets before they found their forever homes. I've been helping raise dogs since I was 10, and I've worked with professional trainers. I care deeply for all animals and would love to work with your pets and love on them. I have an unfenced but open backyard with two friendly dogs in my own home of different energy levels to match your pet's energy and playing types. We love going for walks of all different lengths during the day, and go on lots of outings to both individual dog parks and group parks. My focus is on fulfilling your pets needs and mentally stimulating them, not just tiring them out. Whatever that means for your pet, I can make it work.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals around me. I subcontracted for a Rover pet sitter for 6 months as well as pet sitting for family and friends for the past several years. I am currently working Sunday through Friday and occasional Saturdays. I start at 10:30 and my hours range from 2 to 6 hours a day with occasional 10 hour days. It is very rare that I work that long especially if I plan to be dog sitting. While in the clients home caring for their pets, I do what is needed to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible, and try to stick to their daily routine as closely as possible.
“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!”
“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!💖”
“This is the 2nd time Jenna has watched my boy Reggie. She goes above and beyond to make sure his high energy demands are meant. Thank you Jenna for taking such good care of my buddy!”
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.
“Allana is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond taking care of our beloved pup and terrible cat. She even picked up dog poop in our back yard - and we didn't ask her to. Incredible job. I will absolutely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working at a coffee shop, the shop closes at 2, leaving my afternoon and nights open to spending time with your furry family members! I live in town, nice and close to most places. I have my transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.
“As usual, Melissa took great care of Houdini. She always goes above and beyond and gives him extra attention, you can tell he loves her from the pictures. She also watered our plants! Thank you Melissa!”
“Sayrna was very responsive to our request for drop in visits. Could not be happier. We are on a cross country trip with our husky. While we try to take her everywhere , when she can’t go with us somewhere we love it when we find someone to watch her for us. Thank you!!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs for my entire life. I have 2 little toy Aussies. They have been so good for me! I love the companionship and they motivates me to get up and get moving. I would love to take your dog for walks and just love on them... although I might grow attached. I promise to give them back though. I do work full time but am more than happy to let your dogs out at lunch or take them for walks. I am also available in the evenings and weekends for any service. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your best friend. I promise to spoil them with love and attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Kerns
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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Kerns on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
