Haley was extremely helpful for me while I was gone for a few days. She did a great job with my dog, Zoe. Even though Zoe can be a bit reactive and high energy, Haley handled her perfectly!

Montana was great with my dogs and cat. They warmed up to her instantly. Provide good updates and pictures during her visits. She even brought in some packages that were dropped off while I was out of town. Would book her again!

Jonathan was great with my dog and very attentive to her needs. I highly recommend him for anyone needing either pet sitting or a daily dog walker.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from rabbits to horses. Having grown up around dogs, I’ve cared for breeds of all sizes—from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs. I currently share my home with two wonderful dogs: a Dalmatian and a Great Dane. In addition to dogs, I have experience owning and caring for cats. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing basic first aid when needed, so you can feel confident that your pet will receive attentive, knowledgeable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll make your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being my top priority—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special requirements to ensure consistency with their daily routine. During each visit, I’ll provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship while also respecting your home and your pet’s established routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and detailed visit summaries, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Deyni was a fantastic sitter. She updated me throughout the visit and took great care of my pup. I was a little nervous at first because I've never used Rover before. But after working with her I’ll definitely have her be my preferred sitter.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: If you're looking for a truly reliable, adaptable and hard working petsitter - that's me! I'm an honest and simple person - I love spending time with dogs and cats so I'd never cut my services short. I feel very drawn to animals and feel passionate about caring for them so their well-being is my duty and I will care for them like my own. I have worked for a petsitting company for over three years here in Gainesville and 2 years back in Finland before I moved here - working with lots of different kinds of dogs (big, small, energetic, traumatized ones etc) and cats (some very spicy ones). I provide anything your pet needs - energetic walks, cuddles, playtime , feeding, medications etc! I'm not afraid of challenges and will happily figure out what service works best for you and your fur baby <3 I'm a stay-at-home-mom transitioning back to work life this summer. Me and my husband take care of our 7 month old baby boy together as he works mostly from home and has a very flexible schedule. Integrating parenting and work is my number 1 priority so I'm happy work around my clients schedules. I have a big fenced yard, 3 acres of woods and access to lots of trails and a dog park close to our home by the prairie. I'm an outdoorsy person so I love long walks if that's what your pup needs. As a mom of two cats I'm very familiar with cat care - be it fierce playtime, cuddles or respectful distance. With all pets I give them time to feel safe with me and I'm always read their body language to ensure they feel comfortable.

Debbie was so good with my cat, Toshi. She was always on time, communicating during each visit with updating me with photos. She cared for him exactly as was needed. I would definitely recommend her for your own pet care needs.

About: I am an animal lover with 15 years of pet care experience with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, comfortable with feeding schedules, enrichment, medications, and caring for senior or anxious pets. Pet care fits well into my routine. I have flexibility on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I prioritize consistency, timely check-ins, and giving cats and dogs focused, unhurried attention. I take safety seriously and follow each pet’s routine closely. I respect boundaries, keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and monitor behavior, appetite, and health changes. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing updates.

About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.

About: I currently don't have much professional experience with pet sitting, but I do have experience with being around others' pets and taking care of my own. Most of my real experience comes from taking care of my family's Australian Shepherd since I was a kid. We have gone on regular walks, maintained routines, and had plenty of playtime together. I'm currently working part-time and a full-time student. However, I still have plenty of time on my schedule throughout the week. I'll be able for walks or check-ins any time Tuesday-Friday. For boarding, the only set time that I have would be Fridays, but my schedule is always fluctuating and other days could also work. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For boarding, I make sure to keep it as safe and comfortable for the pet while following their normal schedule. I also keep in mind the cleanliness of the house to ensure that it's kept as a pet-friendly space. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get their neurons active, and look for any possible things I need to clean up. For walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe and engaged. I take into account how your pet reacts with other pets (or how you like to deal with it) and adjust the pace based on how they react to their surroundings. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, so I can also provide updates to keep you at ease!

About: I believe in taking care of any furry family member, whether they are puppies or older puppies. I am a mother to a beautiful Rottweiler, a long haired dachshund and a Morkie who I love with all my heart. I believe in keeping the parents involved in all the aspect of the dog sitting keeping them informed and making sure they know their family members little tail is always wagging - I make sure to keep constant communication with pawrents so you guys never miss a second of their day. I love to go on walks with them and take them to the parks and if we so happen to get dirty playing outside I make sure that they come back home clean and fresh. I love to make doggies smile and happy. I have no concern with large breed dogs and small breed as well so truly no dog turned away. I work with rover full time and go to school as well, on my off days I like to keep active taking my own dogs for walks and I figured people as busy as I am could use the help as well so I would love to be able to assist with taking your doggies out too! As mentioned before I like to keep the pawrents up to date as I am taking care of the doggies! I make sure I have a list of all medications needed, any dietary restrictions, their own day to day schedule with feeding and bathroom breaks so it does not disturb their schedule. I offer at home care, boarding, walks, and drop ins to make it as convenient for your family as possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 512 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across McIntosh. 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 McIntosh. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
