“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”

About: I love pets and have taken care of all kinds of animals! Some of which had a multitude of needs. I have experience administering medication, special diets and with interactive exercise; whatever care your pet requires! I personally have owned large and small breed dogs, cats, and senior pets who have had complex medical needs. :) I have plenty of free time to care for your pet! I work my current schedule around bookings so your cat or dog will always come first. I can easily fit into your pets current routine at home so there is not a huge change of pace when you are gone! I will try to keep things as “normal” as possible for your pet.

“I'm giving Bianca 5 stars because she communicated and sent us pictures of Leo (cat) every day. Leo is over 1 year old and he started to get nervous around people however per the pictures he felt comfortable with Bianca so that gave us peace of mind while traveling. We're happy with Bianca so already booked with her again. Thanks”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for multiple animals, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience understanding different animals, personalities, and routines. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, but my availability can vary from week to week. I typically work in the mornings, usually between 6 AM and 12 PM, depending on my schedule. I’m generally available for pet care before or after work and can coordinate times with you in advance. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs! I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. In your home, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine while keeping their space clean, safe, and comfortable. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

Shalimar, FL, 32579

About: No dog or any situation would be too big or difficult. I love dogs and want to make it a career, so why not start here. I’m 25, currently living in Shalimar, FL. I drive so the distance really isn’t a problem when it comes to the weekend I am free any time but when it comes to the weekday I’m free any day after 8 am. Dogs really are the key to happiness so why not make a little extra cash doing what makes you happy, your dog would be treated like another member of my family because I know of I were in your shoes I’d only want to trust someone who cared about dogs as much as I do. I know life can get busy so why not just have someone take the load off. I work for a cruise line but I’m currently not working the Winter months meaning I have full availability weekends or weekdays for walking, feeding, and possible sleepovers. I have open availability as I am not working the winter months this giving me ample opportunity to move my schedule to fit your pets. I always prefer to have a meet up with pet and owner, I do prefer to keep pet in their natural environment to keep them comfortable and on the same routine.

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was 8, including cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish, etc so I love animals and am more than capable of taking care of them. I also work in animal care so I have experience in noticing odd behaviors. I am currently out of work so have a very flexible schedule. I am available any hours of the day but prefer to keep it to weekdays. With the right animal I’m willing to do weekends as well. I can easily let the pet outside for restrooms break and can interact with your pet as I love animals. I also am trained to notice odd and out of the ordinary behavior to notice any issues your pet may be having.

About: Dog lover who has raised and fostered puppies, plus hands-on experience with Shelties, Border Collies, and Pitties. I get the whole range - potty training, crate training, chewing phase, and socialization for puppies, plus brain games for herding breeds and big cuddles for pitties. I do frequent potty breaks, structured walks, enrichment, feeding, meds, and lots of photo updates. Comfortable with high energy, barkers, shy pups, and strong love bugs. Your dog gets their routine kept and a tired, happy brain. I have open availability 7 days a week for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. Early mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute requests are all good with me. Puppies and kittens welcome for multiple visits a day. In your home I follow your exact routine so your pets feel safe and your home is respected. For dogs I do on-leash walks with a secure harness, poop bags and water, sniff walks for enrichment, feeding on schedule, crate time as instructed, play, and clean up. I avoid retractable leashes and dog parks unless you approve, I wipe paws, and I secure your home when I leave. For cats and kittens I do fresh food and water, scoop and clean litter boxes, play and enrichment, brushing if needed, and meds or eye drops if needed. For bottle babies and young kittens I follow your feeding chart, keep them warm, and clean them up. I keep cat and dog areas separate if needed, I never let cats outside unless you approve, and I keep everything tidy. You get an update after every visit with photos, what they ate, potty and litter details, and how they played and rested.

About: From raising multiple of my personal puppies over the last 10 years, to helping my mom welp litters of Rotties when I was a kid, I have a long history of taking care if animals young and old. I've lived on a farm my entire life until the last few months, and have taken care of everything from indoor pets, to livestock. Currently I am unemployed and pretty flexible with a bit of notice. My boyfriend is gone on and off, so unfortunately house sitting availability is low because I have my own fur babies, but I do have house sitting experience and when Im available would be very enthusiastic to house sit for you! Id love to check in on your animals and take care of them while you're busy with work, or stay over with them while you go on vacation, and make sure you feel comfortable and happy that your babies are being well entertained and cared for. I have two high energy dogs who were raised rural, so unfortunately I cannot provide pet services in my home, but I am happy to care for them at yours. I'd love to do a meet and greet and learn all there is to know to make your pets comfortable on their schedule.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for dogs both personally and professionally, including providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs with different routines and needs, from energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I’m attentive to their behavior and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want both the pets and their owners to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am usually available in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can figure out a schedule that works best for you! I live in a safe apartment and will always have your dogs on a leash. I will make sure the dog is in the crate and safe if that is requested.

Nancy was amazing with my kittens! This was my first time having someone watch them, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she made me feel so much better. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she took great care of them, and I’m so happy I found her! I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Mary Esther

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mary Esther is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mary Esther. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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.
