“Margaret does a wonderful job with looking in on our cat when we are away. We appreciate how much he is being loved on when we aren’t home. We will request her again when we need a pet sitter.”

About: I have been dog-sitting for friends and acquaintances for the past couple of years. I am very accommodating and flexible. Whatever you need or request, I will do my best to fulfill it. My daily schedule gives me the flexibility to help you out anyway and anytime. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I work a very flexible day-to-day job that allows me to venture out and take care of your pet at most times of the day. I am also pretty flexible on days of the week and times of year to sit. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I do my best to make space for pets to choose whether they want attention or to be left alone, and try not to force contact. I also look to socialize the pet as much as I can fit in my strategy whether that is being present, going on walks, or letting them outdoors.

“Evie did great checking in on our animals while we were out of town. Our dogs have big personalities and this was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. Evie came to meet them first and seemed completely calm and comfortable from meet and greet to last visit. She even cleaned up messes they made. We are very happy with the service we got!”

“Hailea did a great job with our kitties. One of our kitties loves attention and she was sure to offer it. The other was not as kind and Hailea respected his personal space. She sent photos of both kitties and shared their temperament during her visits. We don't go out of town often, but when we do, we will be requesting her again!”

About: During my time in a Service Fraternity at my university, I volunteered at Animal Care and Control of St. Louis on a weekly basis. The time I spent working here allowed me to gain crucial skills needed for understanding and working with animals. I have also spent time watching cats and dogs for friends while they off on vacation! I start medical school in August, but will have time to watch animals between study sessions and class. Currently, I am working part time as a science teacher at the middle school for summer school and am off at 1:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Additionally, I have all of July off. I will not be providing boarding services. This is due to physical restrictions that will be imposed on the animal. I would prefer to house sit in a place where the animal is comfortable and less likely to be anxious.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets—hedgehogs, geckos, livestock, fish, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable with unique routines, special needs, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal. I focus on reliable communication, gentle handling, and making sure each pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my college routine. My class schedule is flexible, so I’m able to plan visits, walks, and check-ins around my coursework. I spend a lot of time at home studying, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks between classes, or overnight care, I make pet sitting a natural part of my weekly routine. As a pet sitter, I offer both in-home and client's home care. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment, ensuring their safety and well-being. If caring for pets in the client's home, I'll follow their instructions, maintain their routine, and provide personalized attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I'll tailor the care to meet each pet's specific needs. 💗

FAQs for Cat Sitting - McBaine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in McBaine is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $14 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 70 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across McBaine. 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 McBaine. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 85% 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.
