“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! 🌞”
“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 was outstanding! She took such amazing care of our cat Mr. Bunny Ears for the month we were so far away in Alaska! He is usually pretty nervous with new people and he came around for her with ease. She sent great pics and videos too. She also helped out with little extras too since he was staying with my elder mother. I recommend her very highly! If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you for everything Kristen!”
“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!”
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!
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“We are so lucky that Kaylee was able to watch our dog and cat while we were gone. She took such great care of them and really eased my anxiety about going away. She took such great care of our home too. I will be booking Kaylee again for sure, and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
About: I have had family dogs my entire life as well as walked my neighbors dogs for them while I was growing up. Over the last 4 years I provided hospice care to one adopted dog, and adopted a second puppy afterwards. I am prepared for any level of training or behavior from your pup, being that I am working through training for my own dog. I am comfortable with small and large dogs! I can come care for your pup after my work day and I am back in the area. I am home by 5:00 every day. On weekends my availability fully opens up with two day notice. In the summer, I have completely open availability for you and your dog! Due to my own dog being reactive I must come to you for visits and can not bring your pup to my home. I am happy to come care for your dog at your house or take them on long walks or to a local park!
“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.”
About: Always had pets growing up and frequently watched neighbors animals. Retired small business owner and Veteran. Would love the opportunity to care for other people's dogs. I'm retired now and find that I have extra time for providing care for dogs and helping people feel comfortable sharing their pets with me. Individual care for each animal is important because they all have unique needs. I can offer whatever services are required to meet your pets needs.
About: I was trained for two years at age seven to care of my mom’s 18 breed collies at Tandy Kennel. I took over at age nine and took over for her till I was 19. I also learned how to take care of her 11 cats we rescued. I also took care of our alpacas, rabbit, chinchillas, and people dogs and bourses when they went away on vacation. When I moved I took in two kittens that need a home and their names are Sakura and Sasuke. My days are pretty flexible and I don’t mind working out a schedule with you. The days that I am free are M,W,T,F,and Saturday. If have any questions you can contact me. For my cats I clean their littler daily, play with them I wipe them with a safe cat cloth to clean them, I brush them, and I clip their nails. What ever your instructions are for you pet I can give them a bath, brush them, etc.
“Angela is a very thoughtful and attentive caretaker for cat drop ins! We were so fortunate to have her care for our two cats for a week over the holidays and she made sure they felt the love, and we were at ease being away for an extended period of time knowing that she was caring for them.”
“Bree is wonderful. I had to travel for work and she ensured my dog was well taken care of. I got detailed reports of how he was doing and the most adorable photos. She is calm and handle situations well with some of my troublesome neighbors well. Highly recommend. I also love that she took the time to meet my dog before hand as well.”

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!!!
Kristen made my first experience with Rover an extremely positive one. She was kind, communicative, and caring… everything you want from someone entrusted with the well being of your fur baby. She was patient and loving with my shy guy, and he was surprisingly loving with her by the second check-in. She sent me detailed notes and pictures from her visits that put my mind at ease. 10/10 would recommend and plan to use her the next time I leave town.

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.
