“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”

About: Hi there! I have had experience with a wide variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I am a nurse looking to help out with dog walks, drop ins or occasional overnights as needed! Shoot me a message and we can work something out, I’m here to help! I currently work 3 days a week and am available the other 4 days per week at anytime! During my work days I am also available after shifts for walks. I have a fenced yard that is VERY large and a very play friendly Husky. I am a nurse and can be trusted to go into your home to help with any pet care needs!

“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I also have experience with rescue animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. I’m patient, compassionate, and committed to making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 I do pet care full time and when I’m not caring for your pets I’m at home spending time with mine. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats who are my world and I love nothing more than to snuggle with them on my couch and binge watch a good series! My dogs go out every 2-4 hours and my cats never go outdoors. Anytime my dogs go outside they’re always on a leash and supervised.

You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: I've had numerous pets throughout my life including dogs, cats and even a lizard. I currently have two cats in and a bearded dragon. I love animals and enjoy caring for them! At this time I am in-between jobs so my schedule is open. I am available at any time unless one of my kids has an event then I will block out that time frame. My cats eat once a day, and I fill their bowls every morning. My bearded dragon has salad in the mornings, and whatever protein of the day in the afternoon/evening. I am available to do the same for other fur babies and would gladly take dogs for walks to get some steps in! I prioritize the safety of not just my own animals, but all animals I encounter. I adore animals and wish I could help them all.

About: Friends, family, and co-workers often rely on me for dog and cat sitting. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have cared for small dogs and big dogs. I frequently go on walks when I’m off work and I’d like to take a dog with me. I’m not at the point in my life to have a dog of my own so I adore loving on other people’s fur babies! I’m pretty flexible early mornings and most evenings. I work a pretty standard job Monday through Friday and it would be no problem to work around it. I do not care for pets out of their own home. I prefer to watch pets in their own environment. I feel like that is best for them!

About: I work at a veterinary clinic so I see dogs and cats everyday (and I LOVE it). Working at a clinic has given me a good amount of knowledge on health issues and when situations are urgent. I also have two dogs and two cats at home who I take care of on a daily basis. I also have 3 frogs and I have had lots of different amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I will treat your pets like they are my own! I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and it’s something I love doing in my free time. I do work full time at my clinic but I am available every Friday, most weekends, and every other Tuesday. I should be available to do multiple drop ins a day. I am very diligent and I pay attention to pets individual needs. I understand emotional cues and medical emergencies since I work at a veterinary clinic. I have worked as a house cleaner in the past as well and have been trusted by many clients (with or without pets) to make a safe and responsible entry and exit into and out of the house.

About: I have experience in clinic and shelter environments, especially with fearful or reactive pets. I also have experience with exotic animals and have taken care of personal pets my entire life! I’m reliable for feeding, walking, medicating, providing enrichment, and more. I’m currently available mornings, evenings, and overnight. With notice, I can invite animal-friendly small/medium pets into my home. For larger pets or those who don’t enjoy animal company, I can do drop-ins or walks at your home! I have my own friendly dogs and cats in my home. The small animals in my home are kept in a separate room. I have a long leash to give your pup some playtime outside, or we can take good walks on a regular leash. I can crate, medicate, or provide enrichment for your pets as needed (with instructions), always with compassionate care.

“Shelby is amazing and went above and beyond for our old kitty! She made extra time to make sure she got her meds even when our cat was putting up a protest and took the time to play and hang with her. She even watered our plants without us asking! Highly recommend and will definitely ask Shelby to sit again!”

About: As a proud dog mom to a German Shepherd and a Golden Retriever, I know firsthand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs! From energetic walks and endless games of fetch to couch cuddles and belly rubs, I love making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. Having two large dogs of my own has given me plenty of experience managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much it means to see your babies happy while you’re away! I work in marketing and have a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! As a dog mom to two pups of my own, walks, playtime, and plenty of love are already part of my everyday life. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, as well as weekends, depending on availability. I know how important it is to keep pets on their usual schedules, so I’ll always do my best to work around their routines and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite humans are away! Since I offer care in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while respecting their boundaries. I also understand that you’re trusting me with both your furry family member and your home, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’ll treat your space with care, prioritize your pet’s safety, and send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lake Tapawingo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lake Tapawingo is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 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 366 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lake Tapawingo. 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 Lake Tapawingo. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
