“Doris came to take care of our cat Cali for the first time. At the last minute we needed to have her administer medication while we were gone, and she did that for us. She was attentive when she came in and spent time with Cali. She made sure she had enough dry food and gave her the wet in two bowls as we had asked. We have booked her for our next time out of town. Dependable and we recommend to others?”
“I highly recommend Audrey for any pet sitting needs! She stopped by twice a day to care for my three cats while I went on vacation. I received pictures from her from each drop-in along with an update about how the drop-in went! I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her hands!”
“Allison took such good care of our kitties! She was so considerate of their needs and our care preferences. We also had a delay in our travel and she was very flexible and understanding. Highly recommend her!”
About: Calm, direct, structured dog walker/sitter. Strong behavior cue recognition, leash skills, and vet/med/admin experience. Great with larger dogs, seniors, and nervous pets. Daily, I check messages, confirm schedules, and plan calm walks/sitting times. Weekends I block longer visits for feeding/meds and behavior notes, keeping routines consistent and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I keep routines consistent, minimize stress, follow written instructions closely, and do calm, structured walk/feeding/med support. I provide behavior notes and quick check-ins.
“We had Halligan come over and let our rat pack out for a couple days while I was traveling for work. He was so great with our dogs and they really took to him. So great to have him around to check on our pack!”
“Julie was absolutely amazing with my kitties, and it was such a relief to know that they were in great hands while I was away! I loved getting the photos and thoughtful updates she provided, and my cats loved her! I would give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!”
“Michael came 3 times a day for over a week for an hour at a time. He took time to spend with each of our 3 older dogs individually and sent multiple photos each time we was at our home. He gave in real time updates on food, bathroom breaks and ensured he gave each dog their medication. He brought our trash cans up our driveway, and brought it our mail before we even reached out to ask, and even took a photo of bees getting into our home while we were away in which we were able to prepare for before we returned from our vacation. He was wonderful for us and from the looks of our blink camera taking some videos in real time, the dogs loved him as well!! We will be requesting Michael each time we take a trip as we feel incredibly comfortable with his care.”
“Mackenna was great with my two cats, giving some extra time for the one when the other had a medical issue and went to stay with my sister who was running him back and forth to the vet. Raven was lonely without him. She kept me up to date with texts and photos — I would highly recommend her services!”
“Sabrina is a gem. Rocky immediately loved her. She's incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about animals. Clear communication, she asked the right questions during the meet and greet, and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our boy. We will definitely look to her for any future dog sitting needs. 💯 Recommend.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.
“Erika was awesome! She was able to come on short notice and really saved our trip! She was thorough, communicative, and took great photos and kept us posted with each visit. We definitely recommend for anyone needing to have a pet sitter or a drop in!”
“We are so grateful to Cristine for taking such wonderful care of our dog and cat for 2 weeks. Our dog is very anxious and she warmed up to Cristine so quickly. She took extra time with her to help her feel secure while we were away and sent us tons of photos of them enjoying treats and snuggles. Our pets just loved her!”
“Austin was great to work with and went well above and beyond in his care for our cat and communication with us to set up and manage his visits. We would definitely work with him again with no hesitations. He took obvious personal interest in caring for our pet.”
About: I grew up with and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’d love to care for your pets as I would my own! I understand the importance of a reliable, quality pet sitter because I use Rover frequently myself for my dogs, who require extra care. I have three dogs of my own: • Riley – a 12-year-old Beagle (I help manage her lymphoma medication) • Penelope – an 8-year-old Aussie mix (I cared for her after recent knee surgery) • Nyx – a 3-year-old Border Collie mix (I help manage his separation anxiety) I work full time during the week , but am available on the weekends for drop in visits and walks. Day of requests are welcome! I may be available for some weekday drop ins after 5pm if you live near by , so feel free to message me! I am happy to care for your pets as instructed. I am certified in Cat and Dog first aid, and have experience administering medication if needed.

Audrey took great care for our 3 cats with detailed updates, pictures and kindness. She was courteous and prompt with her responses. This was my first experience with hiring someone I do not know and Audrey gave me confidence that all would be well. I would for sure invite her to care for my pets again and recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,435 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Layfield. 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 Layfield. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
