“Shannon is the best Cat Sitter Ever! On one of her visits she noted that my cat didn't come when called and had food in his bowl untouched. She knew something was wrong. She found that a window was opened and the screen was popped out (as my house sitter I had left it that way in spare room). She and my neighbor found him lounging in the front of the house which of course he had to bolt. Shannon lured him in with the promise of food! I am SO SO glad I found her on Rover and that she cared for Bowie as much as I do. 10 Stars”

About: I’ve raised my dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with dogs that are reactive and might yell a little when new people come to their home. I love large dogs, especially ones that think they fit in your lap! I work from home, part-time, and with flexible hours so pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. I do have regular health appointments, but those are known well in advance for scheduling. Up front, I am physically disabled; I can take your dog out to use the bathroom, but I cannot take them on proper walks. Everything else is fair game. Your dog will still get lots of play time, treats, cuddles, and attention while I care for them :) As for cats, don’t worry, I can still scoop the litter box!

About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family. I currently work part-time, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays. I’m also available after 12:30 or 2:30 p.m. on workdays to care for your cats or dogs. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, food, and fresh water.

“Sydney was absolutely amazing with my two cats this past weekend! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and usually keeps to herself, while the other is super lovable and craves attention. Sydney was great with both—patient and gentle with my shy cat, and affectionate and engaging with my social one. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Mckenzie I’m a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I specialize in personalized, one-on-one care, taking the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. From walks and playtime to feeding, medication routines, and lots of love, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ My Availability As a college student balancing classes with a part-time job, my weekday schedule is somewhat limited during the afternoon. While extended weekday afternoon stays during my school/work hours aren’t the best fit for my schedule, pop-in visits during the day are absolutely welcome for things like potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Overnight stays are also welcome, along with evening and weekend care. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific routine and find an arrangement that works well for everyone. 🐾 My Top Priorities When caring for your pets, my top priorities are safety, communication, and trust. I understand that inviting someone to care for your pets is a responsibility that requires confidence and peace of mind, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety always comes first. I make sure pets are cared for according to their individual routines, environments, and needs while remaining attentive to potential risks or changes in behavior. Communication is essential to providing excellent care. I keep owners informed with timely updates and am proactive about communicating any questions, concerns, or changes I notice while they’re away. Most importantly, I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect while following the instructions and routines provided by their family. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I have cared for my own dogs as well as others. I have experience as an animal care assistant. I've worked with puppies, older dogs and dogs with special needs. I work full-time but I plan to move to part-time so that I can care more for your pets! I am available mornings and nights and am open to change. I care for pets by providing feeding, walking, bathing. If you have a pet with a special need I am open to providing the accommodations for your furry friends!

About: Having been raised by a father who was a veterinarian, I’ve had experience raising and caring for various types of animals. I believe our fur babies aren’t just pets, but are our children, family, guides and protectors I recently resigned from teaching and only have to care for my kitty child Lyran, so I’m pretty free and available for most dates and times requested. Having a cat baby at my house, I would prefer to go to the clients house to care for their pets. I can make exceptions and keep a clients pet depending on the pet and requirements for care.

About: There hasn’t been a day in my life that I haven’t woken up with a dog in my house, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! They’re just furry best-friends, and I always treat my best friends with the most love, care and pampering! Wether they are super jumpy and rowdy or they’re chill and like to take breaks during walks, I’m always so happy to have them!! I’m currently an online student and I’m also a part time care taker for my sister with diabetes, but I have lots of free time and would love to fill it with the cutest animals!! No matter what pet it is, I will treat that animal as if they are mine. All animals deserve so much love and tenderness, and I make sure to deliver that!!

About: Hi there! My name is Payton, and if your pet could pick their own sitter, I’d like to think we’d be best friends. 😊 I’m a certified canine trainer with experience ranging from basic obedience all the way to working dogs trained in tracking, scent detection, and behavior modification. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and even the occasional spicy dog that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I also have a background in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets recovering from procedures, and keeping a close eye on any special needs your pet may have. When your pet is in my care, they’re treated like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I make it a point to send plenty of photos, updates, and little messages so you know exactly how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your dog wants to play fetch, your cat wants someone to respect their personal space, or your pet just needs a reliable friend while you’re gone, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! A little about my schedule: I work at a pediatric dental clinic during the week, but I have a long lunch break that allows me to return home and let pets out, provide potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, check-ins, and feedings throughout the day. Thursdays and Fridays are shorter workdays for me, and I’m off on weekends and most holidays. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority, whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I use secure kennels to provide pets with a cozy, structured space, especially during rest periods or overnight stays. For transport, I have two large, crash-tested Ruffland kennels in my vehicle to ensure every ride is as safe as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I take every effort to follow your instructions to the letter. I believe consistency is key, so I maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or sleeping spots. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.

About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!

About: My approach to pet sitting is centered around patience, safety, affection, and making each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every animal in my care like family and do my best to maintain the routines, boundaries, and care instructions that their pet parents have established. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and have their individual routine and needs respected. Depending on their personality and care instructions, they’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, walks, exercise, affection, and opportunities to relax and feel comfortable. Safety & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always a top priority in my home. I provide a safe, welcoming environment with two spacious patios and plenty of grass for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. Pets are never left without someone available to care for them—we work as a team, and either my husband or I will be present and attentive to their needs throughout their stay. With your permission and depending on your pet’s comfort level and routine, I can also take them to a local dog park for additional exercise and socialization. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and make sure every pet receives the supervision, attention, and care they need to feel secure and at home.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in a veterinary class I attended for a couple years. I enjoy being there for their needs. I work part time so I have days where I can gladly be with them and even after work I’d love to be with them too. I would have the clients pet stay in areas where the owner wants and need for it to be. I’ll keep them in the right area. Play and care for them while cleaning anything they do.

About: I grew up around dogs (English Setters) and have lived with cats for the last 4 years. I have experience raising both types of pets from 8 weeks or younger through old age. I am happy to help taking care of younger pets as well as older pets both of which may need a lil extra TLC at times. Pets of all types and temperaments are deserving of the best care possible. I’m currently enrolled in a masters program at USF. I am usually some type of pharmaceutical scientist but was let go because of a company rework. I’m taking this time to enjoy life’s small things and get my puppy/cat fix! I have taken care of pets in different environments, from those with a fenced in yard, to apartment pets. I know consistency and communication are key for pet sitting and am happy to keep as close as possible to a pets expected routine and send as many photos and updates as makes you comfortable!

About: I'm the guy who gets called when you get called in but haven't taken poor pookie out for a walk, the one who's there as you're planning your weekend get away, cats, dogs, birds of all sizes and personalities. Call me a day ahead for any inquiries to discuss distance and needs and I'll work on the time that they need for the best pet support. Communication is key and quite frankly unavoidable, I like to let the pet themself feel me out. You can pay me to come but only your pet can want to keep me around.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Primarily we had dogs growing up but we also had cats, lizards, rabbits etc. currently I have 2 pups, 3 cats, a snake and 2 emu’s! Now I am no expert but I am quite experienced in handling animals and fortunately for me, my girlfriend is a former veterinary technician and currently teaches vet med at the southern Brandon technical college, so I’ll always have an expert on standby if anything were to ever occur. I also have several contacts at livewell animal hospital as well as beacon emergency pet hospital. As a veteran and former law enforcement officer I can also assure you I am great at handling tense or stressful situations and even better at handling unexpected emergencies I work full time as an overnight field supervisor for allied universal security services. At the moment I work Sunday through Thursday from 8PM to 4AM. I am available on these days between 1PM and 6PM. On Friday and Saturday I am available all day I pride myself on following client instructions to the letter. Everyone has their habits and routines that they’re comfortable with and I think it’s important for pets to be able to maintain that comfortable routine when their owner is away

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lithia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lithia is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $19 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 October 2026, there are 3,040 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lithia. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lithia. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 , 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.
