Heather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!

Melissa is highly professional, thoughtful, communicative, and courteous. She took excellent care of our two cats who both warmed up to her immediately. This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased I found Melissa! My husband and I could not be happier with Melissa’s service and we absolutely plan to book with her again in the future!

I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys

This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!

About: Throughout my life, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s providing a high energy walk, managing feeding schedules, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine so they feel secure while you are away. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to providing the gentle attention required by senior dogs. I work from home full-time, ensuring your pet has constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. My own friendly dogs provide built-in company. I prioritize routines and close supervision. Without a fenced yard, all outdoor time is leashed. You will receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Imoni 🐾 I’ve been working in pet care for about 6 years, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with all different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked in professional pet-care settings where I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, medication, special-care routines, and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping owners updated while they’re away. At home, I have a Doberman and 5 cats, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. I’m able to work visits, walks, and pet sitting into my schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m also very comfortable adjusting my schedule around a pet’s specific routine and needs. I care for every pet based on their individual routine and needs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care. I also make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always leave things clean and how I found them. My goal is for both the pet and owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

Cynthia was an amazing support for me! I had never left my two 1 year old cats alone before, and she made me feel so comfortable. Not only did she walk me through everything I needed to sort out before I left, she checked in throughout the week and sent lots of pictures of the boys doing their favorite activities. Will definitely use her again!

About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.

Cynthia J. is a fantastic sitter. She asks thoughtful questions prior to and during visits, always sends photos and updates, and goes above an beyond to ensure that both your pet and your home are taken care of. She's much appreciated in a city where customer service can leave something to be desired. She more than compensates. Anyone hiring her is lucky to have her.

Mickela was great with my cats, and we have a lot of cats. She was able to make each of my cats feel safe and cared for while I was gone on a very long work trip. Normally I come home to a house with some kitty messes due to stress and this time I came home to a clean and happy house where I could just hop right back into our normal routine. I have already booked Mickela for my next work trip and she will 100% be my regular sitter. I highly recommend!. She was able to give my cats their medicine, handle a pretty hectic feeding time, and keep everyone happy and stress free. If you want someone to love your cat like their own Mickela is your person!

Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!

Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Marlow Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Marlow Heights on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 7,620 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Marlow Heights. 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 Marlow Heights. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
