Nancy has been lovely. She is so good with our dogs and they love her. We used her services for two separate trips and have felt at peace both times. We would 100% recommend her!

Bethany was so sweet and took the time to come meet Booger in person before the first official visit which was so nice. Next time I go out of town, I'd definitely feel comfortable with her watching my dog again.

Leah did a phenomenal job watching my dog, Denver. From the start, she was incredibly communicative and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated, was very kind, and it was clear Denver was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 10/10 experience, and I would most definitely book with her again in the future.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.

About: I offer a calm, clean, and supervised home environment for boarding. My fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for potty breaks and outdoor play, and the covered screened patio gives pets a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air while staying protected from the weather and insects. I also have a quiet dining room that can be sectioned off for pets who need their own comfortable, low-stimulation area. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and care routine as closely as possible. I work full time and my available days do change at times. I would love to talk to you and see if my schedule works with yours. I have a chihuahua mix. I do have a fenced in backyard. I also, walk client's dogs around the neighborhood and nearby dog friendly parks.

About: I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!! I am free most weekdays, weekends and holidays. My standing commitments are from 10am to 1pm M-F, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled around those hours successfully. I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.

Nancy was great! She was very thorough in her initial meeting with our boys. She wanted to make sure she had all the information about how to care for the boys. We didn’t have any issues with the check-ins and she gave very good updates for each day she saw them. We would definitely recommend Nancy!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mary Esther on Rover is $17.76 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 522 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 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 Mary Esther. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
