About: I’ve had dogs and the occasional cat since I was born, including a sweet old lab/doberman mix, a lazy corgi mix, and an anxious westie. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from a young age and have watched over many friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’m currently a full time student at Slippery Rock University, so my availability is limited to weekends and breaks at the moment as I focus on classes. When taking care of your pets, all of my attention will be on them and their health, safety, and comfort. Beyond that, I will follow whatever instructions are given to me, as I understand every pet is different. I’m happy to play energetically or sit quietly while your pet gets used to a new friend.
About: Hi I’m Gia! I have one cat and two dogs that are my entire world. With experience in boarding, daycare, grooming and even some veterinary settings, I’m passionate about providing companionship, keeping routines, and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to spend with your pup. I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, and outdoor activity throughout the day. We have almost an acre of space, giving your fur baby plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also have two friendly pups of my own who can provide companionship if you’d prefer. I’m comfortable with leash walks, kenneling, and giving medications according to your pet’s routine and specific needs.
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.
“Rhianna was beyond amazing at taking care of my cat Lucille and my home while I was away. She sent detailed updates daily and plenty of photos showing what all they got up to each day, and constantly went above my expectations. The care she showed for my pet was clear, and I couldn't appreciate her more!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom living on a farm with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a pig. Animals have always been an important part of my life since I was a little girl, and I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. My schedule allows me the flexibility and availability to provide consistent attention and quality care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. ❤️🦮🐈🐴🐽 As a stay-at-home mom, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day caring for our own animals, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship during the week and the weekends. I enjoy having animals around and would love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and individual needs, providing attentive care from feeding and walks to playtime and companionship. I keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as I would my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”

About: I am looking to offer the unique opportunity to allow people to have their pets cared for by someone who is truly qualified. My personal goal is to put all profits made on Rover towards my student loans. I currently work full-time with a four day schedule each week and the days I'm off rotate, if you know a specific time you're going away, please reach out to me at least 12 weeks in advance and I can try to accommodate my work schedule. I will watch your pets the entire time. I'm with them, I will either keep them within their fenced in yard or on a leash if not in their own yard at all times.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m a college student with classes during the day and am typically available after 6 PM on weekdays. I’m always off on Fridays and most Saturdays and Sundays, giving me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. A couple of times a month I do have a brief evening lab, but I always communicate in advance to ensure your pet’s routine is never disrupted. I care for pets by following their routine as closely as possible. I respect clients’ homes, follow all instructions carefully, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since a little girl. I’ve trained 2 medical service dogs so far! I’m currently learning more about specialty training. I have puppy training experience, crate training, leash training, senior care, and medication management. I’m a graphic designer and I work from home. I rarely leave the house! That means I have all the time for your fur baby! I have a large fenced back yard, and a garage that is set up as a dog hang out spot with access to water & shade from the sun! I have one very friendly 11 month old German shepherd mix who loves to play & is crate trained. I have the backyard & garage on camera, but I keep an eye on my dog regardless. I either work on my laptop from the back window, or outside! We also take walks around the neighborhood. I also have a small doggy pool! The fence is over 6 foot & secured with privacy lining.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of vet tech experience and wildlife biology expertise. I can provide professional-level care, from administering medications to managing health concerns, ensuring your pet is in safe hands. My wildlife biology background also means I’m comfortable working with a wide range of animals, including exotic species and those with special care needs. Plus, I can help train puppies, using positive reinforcement to foster good behavior and obedience. With my specialized skills, I offer a higher standard of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I will make time for your furry baby as long as I have enough notice! I currently work full time in the Veterinary Medicine field as well. My three cats are indoor and have full roam of my house. I do not bring other pets to my house for the safety of my babies, but I am fully supportive of whatever way the client wants their furry baby managed in their home.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mercer on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 158 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mercer. 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.

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.
