“Bryant did a superb job with our three cats! He made himself available on short notice and did a great job tending to their individual meds. We could tell the cats liked him, too. Would definitely hire again!”
“Aneasha was fabulous with the two cats. Neither one had ever lived or stayed anywhere else and it was obvious when I picked them up that they were very comfortable and happy at her house. We will definitely have her keep the cats again when we leave town.”
About: I have experienced training and raising my childhood dog, an English Mastiff, up until she passed among sitting other dogs of many ages. I have learned how to care for, train, and set boundaries with puppies as well as learning patience and intentional or special care with senior dogs. I work full time 4 days a week, so I am available 3 days a week for sitting, playing, walking, and feeding! Specifically, I am available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am happy to crate dogs who may have a mischievous personality, or leave them out depending on my clients trust with them. I am also happy to leash pets on walks or work on recall over time if needed. I am open to following extensive feeding routines to care extra for the ones who need it!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and love what I do! I have also owned cats, dogs and many other animals of my own. I have experience with puppies, kittens and also senior care. I provide walking, drop in and sitting care I currently work Monday-Thursday during the day which makes me available for any and all weekend/weeknight care needs! I am also available to stay in your home overnight for pets with a greater need for care. When caring for your pets, I emphasize keeping you in the loop. I like to provide updates/pictures to ease your mind while you enjoy your time away from home.
About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life especially caring for my own pets. I have fostered many young puppies and am experienced in potty training, basic commands, and medical care. I worked as an intern in an animal clinic where I gained skills in critical thinking, proper handling of animals, and awareness of standards for the animal health care industry. I am currently home for the summer after completing my first year at Montana State University studying Animal Science! I am free on weekends and weekdays for whatever your pet may need! I am available to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. I can ensure that your pets will always be safe with me! I've fostered four puppies at once and always made sure that they were being watched to ensure nothing bad happened. I crate trained my own dog when he was a puppy so I am not unfamiliar with the process! I am always happy to teach your pup a few new tricks as well!
About: I’ve taken care of so many different species of animals ever since I was in elementary school. I spend as much time with the pets as I can and love to play and snuggle with them! Their wellbeing and happiness is my top priority I am currently a student at MSU, but my classes are spread out so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am always free on the weekends. I am sure to give my full attention to your pet and cater to their every need. I work with all personalities and temperaments and will always give the highest level of care to any animal I meet!
About: I’ve had a dog for almost all of my life and love every single breed, shape, size and color! I had 3 dogs at once all different ages, sizes and personalities. I’ve recently found myself in a position in life where I do not have a fur baby of my own, so I thought I’d give this a shot! One big perk: I work full time at a compound pharmacy where I make vet medications so I know the tricks of giving them and how important it is to give them accurately. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 9-5, but can adjust my schedule to earlier or later if need be. I also have the option of a one hour lunch break. My schedule is usually pretty open on the weekends. I have no problem with dogs free roaming or being in the crate. I love after work walks and play time to help keep them occupied and happy.
“Bethany did an outstanding job! I can definitely recommend her. I am so happy that she is in the neighborhood. I will also offer a phone or email referral for anyone wanting one. I know how difficult it is finding trustworthy sources now. Thank you again. I will be continuing to use Bethany.”
“Ave was great! She took on a very last minute request and was very kind and followed all of my instructions. After my dog got into the flowers in my vase, she went above and beyond by cleaning up his mess which was not expected of her. 10/10 ☀️”
About: Whether your dog is feeling a familiar neighborhood treat loop, a downtown stroll, a mountain trail run, a game of fetch at the dog park, or a quiet night at home, I meet them exactly where they are. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. This semester I start my day at 6:30am with morning walks and then head to classes Monday through Thursday 9:30am-1:30pm. I can be back within 5 hours for walks, meals, and plenty of attention for the afternoon. I love getting dogs out for adventures when it fits their personality, whether that's a solo walk, a trail, running errands with me, or joining a group walk with dogs they're comfortable around. I live in a quiet apartment with three fish, so your dog gets my full attention in a calm environment. They will have access to my main living space and can join me out on the balcony. One of my favorite ways to relax is hanging out on the balcony together, soaking up the sunshine. ☀️ Because I live in an apartment, dogs with excessive barking aren't the best fit for boarding or daycare.
About: I have owned dogs and a wide variety of other animal my entire life. I find joy in taking care of them! Providing care for your animals will be a pleasure and fun experience for the both of us. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to make your furry friends my main priority. I have also trained just about every dog that I have had. I can not only take care of your dogs, but other animals, too, if that is a necessity. Photo Updates Included! Thank you for considering me as an option when looking for a caregiver for your dogs! I work part-time currently and am able to make my own schedule. Let me know what schedule you need care and I will be able to make something work! I have a fenced in yard, a dog door in the house, and a mini golden doodle that is super friendly and loves to make new friends.
About: I have taken care of all ages of Kittens, Puppies, Cats & Dogs. I am comfortable with dealing with different personalities or needs. I care very much about making sure your pet feels loved & cared for while you are away! I am currently a student at MSU & I usually am only at school for 3-5 hours a day for lectures. When working with pets, I make sure to spend my free time with them to make sure they are cared for! I do not offer services at my personal house. I will come to your house. I like a clean & stress free/easy to understand environment. It is also a requirement that your house is a safe environment for myself & your pets. Communication is a must to create a trusting relationship with your pet/house sitter!
About: Hello! I've been dogsitting since I was in college and have a wide range of experiences. From taking care of a single small senior dog to four active working breeds, I'm ready to love your furry friends! I'm currently going back to school to hopefully one day become a veterinarian. I'm taking classes part time at MSU to get ready to apply to vet school! That means that Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll need to be out of the house from 12:30-5:30. Other than that I'll be with your pets all the time! I'll make sure to put your pets as my top priority! I understand the stress of leaving my pets with other people, so I hope to ease that for you.

About: I’ve had dogs all of all ages and am experienced in caring for all ages. I’m good with training puppies and keeping them active.

I am available weekdays morning and afternoon and most weekends. Overnight stays also fit into my schedule. I have a large, fenced in backyard with room for plenty of running and playing.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
Carly watched my 14 year old kitty with diabetes twice daily for over two weeks. She was very responsive, sent adorable photos, and just show genuine care. I came home to a clean home and a safe and happy kitty. This meant so much to me with traveling abroad and feeling confident that my Mimi was very well taken care of.
Kaelleh is very kind, attentive, and detail-oriented. She was wonderful with my animals to include horses, dogs, and a cat. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she checks in consistently and sends detailed photos and a list of what she did during that day. I feel very lucky to have had her help while I was away.
Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend. She communicated very well to meet us prior to committing, and Kaeli was immediately a friendly, easy going and trustworthy sitter. She updated me with each visit and sent photos so we had peace of mind. I’m so happy to have found Kaeli and will absolutely be using her for future jobs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 73 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Matthews. 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.

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.
