About: I have devoted my life to learning about animal behavior and enrichment, and I am always eager to use this knowledge to give any pet I care for the best time possible. I have cared for several species over the course of my life, including dogs, cats, fish, rodents and more. I am also someone who is very passionate about dog training using fun, reward-focused techniques to build a strong relationship and help work through any challenges a pup may have. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters, where I cared for both dogs and cats through cleaning their enclosures, walking them, playing with them and ensuring their needs were met. Overall, I have a very well-rounded knowledge of what it takes to go above and beyond for any pet I’m working with. I am currently in college and I plan for pet sitting to be my major professional focus during this time, so rest assured that your pet will be my top priority when it comes to my work schedule! Because of my intense love for animals, I am always happy and willing to fit any pet into my daily routine and I try to keep an open schedule to accommodate your care needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority in all situations. Whether I am in your home, going for a walk, or just checking in, all of my energy will go to making sure that your pet is having the best time possible in a kind, supportive environment. Every pet I look after is treated with the same amount of love and care that I give my own on a daily basis.
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Nicole is the best!!! We were a little nervous to try Rover for the first time with our two cats, one of which requires daily medication. She was so responsive and loving for our kitties!!! She made the entire experience stress free. We can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Tori was awesome! She took great care of my cats during the drop-in visits and kept me updated with photos and notes. Everything was clean and my cats were happy as could be when I got home. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an avid animal lover with plenty of dog experience. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I was a dog walker for a few families while my kids were young and at school. I currently have a senior pittie. I don’t have a ton of cat experience, but I’m always happy to learn! I work full time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can easily do mornings, late afternoon and evenings as well as weekends. I can come to your home for visits, walks and playtime. My dog is family, your home and animals will be treated the same way.
“Anne Marie was so great with our cats! They warmed up to her quickly, and she shared photos of them every day, which put our minds at ease since they looked happy and content. 😊 She also kindly brought our mail in, and we appreciated the peace of mind she gave us just knowing someone was watching our cats with such care and kindness. Thank you! 🌞”
“I couldn't have chosen a better sitter than Margo! She was so wonderful with my senior cat. She went above and beyond, cleaning up her after her and even taking out her litter bags to the trash. I will definitely hire Margo again whenever I need someone I trust to take care of my girl.”
“Carol is a wonderful pet sitter! We have used her several times now, and she always gives our dog the best care and loving attention with plenty of photos and updates to put our minds at ease. I could not ask for a better sitter!”
“Kristen immediately put my mind at ease when I met her. She is kind and has a gentle presence. I know that my cat is in the best hands with her! I highly recommend Kristen! She will be my go to booking for Mr. Bunny Ears 🩷🐱”
“Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.”
“This was our first time using rover and Chelsea was absolutely amazing! She kept us up to date and our pup loved her. Highly recommend booking with her and she was accommodating to our last minute need and request!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Amanda, she was prompt, professional, and attentive to my Maytag for the week I was away. I would absolutely book her again for my next trip!”
“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”
“My pups enjoy their daily visits from Chen for a midday exercise and potty breaks! This dog mom is happy as well knowing that they are being cared for and getting belly rubs even when I’m not there. Chen makes sure to send me updates with a cute pic and some notes on how the visit went! Thank you Chen, we couldn’t be more pleased with your services!”
About: Hi! I am a Pre-Vet major at PSU and I also work at an animal shelter, so they will always be in safe hands. I also have 2 kittens and 2 dogs of my own so I understand wanting someone responsible and caring around when you can’t be! I am very flexible with hours, whether it is a last minute stop, or caring for them for awhile. I am home from college so I have a lot of free time! Skills: •veterinary experience •senior animal experience •young animal experience •administering medication •cpr certified I am currently a student, so I am unavailable Mondays-Thursdays 6pm-9:30pm. But, I am very flexible whenever I am not in class to make time to drop by! I am not able to bring pets into my home, since I do have two cats. But, I would love to get to know your animal in a space they feel comfortable; whether that is in their home, on a walk, at the park, etc!
“We recommend Matt for your pet care. He took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation coming three times a day. Matt is very reliable and connected well with all of the pets.”
About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have been a pet owner my whole life and have lots of experience with caring for others pets as well as my own! My family has also fostered puppies and dogs in the past. I work another part time job but would love to help during mornings and evenings and on weekends!

I have plentiful experience feeding, walking, grooming, and caring for both cats and dogs!
“It was hard having to leave our puppy Tucker (3months old when Chris first met him) with a stranger, but Chris has been amazing with him, giving us peace of mind knowing that he is in good hands. Very reliable and trutworthy, Chris has always honored the appointments we've made (visiting him twice a day) and followed the instructions we've left him. Tucker is relaxed and happy when we get home and we have to thank him for that. ”

I couldn’t be happier with the care Rusty received. Kristen was incredibly loving and attentive throughout the four days she cared for him. She spent quality time with him every morning and afternoon, talking to him, petting him, cuddling him, and making sure he felt loved while I was away. She kept his litter box clean and was thoughtful and attentive throughout her visits. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rusty was in such caring hands. I would definitely book her again!
Miranda is absolutely wonderful, and wonderful with my pets! She took such great care with the cats' feeding and medications and went above and beyond to clean dishes, open/close blinds, bring in mail, and send very timely updates and photos. It was a huge relief to have Miranda's help and I can't recommend her enough!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,463 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lima. 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 Lima. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
