About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. Neighbors and friends trusted me to walk, play, and love on their pets while they were away. I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way to senior cats and dogs. I also have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I work part time so I'm looking for something fulfilling and fun to fill the down time I do have! It is a true joy to be able to spend my day caring for other people's fur-babies. I can provide food and fresh water according to your exact schedule and needs. I can walk your dog or take them outside for potty breaks or just let out some energy outside. I can administer prescribed medication or treatments and log each dose. I can provide companionship and playtime and monitor their behavior, appetite, and mood to ensure your fur baby is feeling their best.
“Melanie was a life saver. I was on a trip for Christmas. The family friend of my husband was supposed to watch Isabel. We had not heard from her for 18 hrs. So I had a friend check on Isabel. But, she could only do it for 2 days and we were going to be gone for another day. On Dec 24th at the last minute, Melanie took my emergency visit for the 25th and at am amazing rate. Thank you so much for helping Isabel and our sanity. I will definitely be asking in the future and recommending you to everyone”
“Grace was AMAZING! Our cat loved having her visits and play time. If you are thinking about booking her, you won’t regret it! She was so punctual and kept the little boxes so clean and tidy. We will absolutely be booking again! One of the best sitters our little guy has ever had ☺️”
About: Whether you’re local or traveling from out of state, your fur babies will have a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! As a former Greenhill Humane Society employee, I have over a year of hands-on experience caring for and handling dogs with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m also well-versed in medication administration and handling, as well as vaccine and injectable administration. I’m confident in providing attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care for your pups, whether in my home or yours. I live in a quiet West Eugene neighborhood with access to a large, fully fenced private backyard where your dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. We’re also conveniently located near several parks, which I’d love to enjoy with your companions when appropriate and with your permission. I understand that every animal is different, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Whether your pup needs extra playtime, a little patience, a quieter environment, or lots of affection, I’ll do my best to make their stay feel just like home. Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way! I’m currently working from home, full time with a very flexible schedule. Attention and time with your pets wont be an issue. I can essentially provide around the clock care. I have a fully fenced ¾-acre backyard where your pets can safely run, play, and explore whenever they’d like. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs by keeping a close eye on them, following your care instructions, and maintaining their usual routines. Whether they prefer outdoor adventures, playtime, or relaxing inside, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Cats got plenty of attention and companionship as far as we could tell. Good communication and photos sent to us during her stay. We were a disappointed to find both water bowls were almost empty, one had dead flies in it, and the litter box had not been scooped for what looked like a number of days when we got home. These were things we had asked her to do daily.”
About: I have owned dogs since my childhood. In my adult life I have owned a few dogs and know how to train and care for dogs. I am self-employed and have been in business since 1999. I have a flexible schedule. My availability can be arrange to accommodate the needs of your pet/pets. My motto is to care for your pet(s) as I would my own. I prefer that pet parents let me know what their pets routines are and I will adhere to those wishes and more.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 10, varying from my own and other peoples cutie animals, walking, feeding, playing obviously! And just making sure they're all comfy and happy. I'm currently part time so anytime in the afternoon or evenings, I'm pretty flexible at the moment! Not looking to do any overnight sitting though I'm not using my own house to watch pets but whatever the owners have will work. Just paying attention to what they're doing and making sure to clean up and keep everyone happy!
“Everything went great with Trina's drop in visits to care for my 2 cats. I wasn't sure how they would do with strangers but they seem to have warmed up to her very quickly. I've already booked Trina again for a longer period next month.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lancaster. 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.
