Her communication is top-notch—she sent us daily updates and photos, which really helped us relax knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She’s also super flexible and easy to coordinate with, which made the whole process stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking with Isabella again—highly recommend!”

About: I have lived with pets my whole life so I am very comfortable caring for your pets as I would my own! I can promise you peace of mind knowing your pets will be well taken care of! I have two cats at home currently so I am very used to attending to their many needs. I have a very flexible healthcare job and I am looking for some extra happy moments to add to my day ◡̈ I know having others in your home can feel very invasive however I promise to care for your pets while always respecting your households privacy!
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.
“Nicole was great with our cats! We're transitioning out cats' diets. Not only was Nicole very flexible with our guidelines, but she was also able to help answer all of our curiosity questions as needed cat owners, ourselves!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!
“Olivia is WONDERFUL!!! She is very attentive and communicative. We definitely felt that she cared for Indy in a very personal way. We would definitely recommend her to watch any and all of your animals..”
“Nevaeh once again was a great help for us when we needed our pets checked in on! She was timely and patient with one of our cats who was very shy at first. She did all of the things we needed and will of course reach out to her if we need her services again!”
About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Kirkersville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 418 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Kirkersville. 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.

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.
