“Shelby is fantastic and we will definitely book her again when we need care! Our family has been under a ton of stress as we move homes. Our orginal plan fell through for moving our cats to our new house and Shelby helped us out on a same-day request to board them. This was a huge relief and gave us peace of mind. My cats were happy and had a great time socializing with her family.”
“Ashlyn was very responsive and was always on time and gave me multiple pictures so I always knew how things were at home when I was gone. It was a last minute booking and yet she still worked with me and made things happen and I couldn’t recommend a better person to watch a furry friend!”
About: I grew up with blue herlers and now have a Chihuahua named Bentley, Golden Doodle named Nash, and a Kitten named Prada! I frequently pet sit and I even got to work at a camp bow wow this summer and LOVED it! I love getting to meet and interact with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I currently attend Drury University and work at a daycare on some afternoons. My availability schedule mainly consists of open mornings and weeks! I am very flexible with my hours so I’m sure I can make most times in the mornings or weekends work! I will feed, take out to potty, take out for a walk, and play with your pup to get some much needed zoomies out! For cats, I will feed, play, and love on them!

I know how to take care of small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, and gerbils! I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I know how to break up potential dog fights and how to take extra caution while walking a reactive dog. I am an 18 year old college student, and I have a very flexible schedule! I am currently an unemployed college student so any time I don’t have class I’m available! Monday & Wednesday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 1:30pm-Midnight Tuesday: 6am-11:45am, 2:15pm-Midnight Thursday: 6am-9am, 11am-Noon, 2:15-Midnight Friday-Sunday: 6am-Midnight I will only be able to care for your animals in your home, the dorms do not allow pets, but I am willing to take dogs out on adventures to different parks around the area if you are okay with them being in my car.

I also help out around the neighborhood in pet sitting so I pretty much know what you will expect of me and I’ll make sure it happens.

About: I have had pets my entire life. Since moving to Springfield, I have helped multiple friends take care of their pets while they have traveled. I have experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to Great Danes. I currently have two pit bulls, a shiba inu and a ball python at home. Every pet and every home is different. You can trust that I will handle instructions exactly. I approach every animal slowly and with the respect they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I’m able to work pet visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while I’m there.
About: Please send me all of your cute fur babies my way! Hi, there! I’m Korina. I naturally have a calm, peaceful presence, so I would be a great match for your anxious, senior, shy, low energy or more laid-back dogs or cats. What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the availability to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also have regularly helped care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need more or less from me. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that would allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if I do drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s a day. 1st at 7:00-8:00a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.
About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - McCracken
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 65 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across McCracken. 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.

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.
