About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.
“Mia is our trusted sitter for our 5 cats and dog, Beau! She is passionate about animals and communicates so well - she makes us feel better knowing our pets are in good hands! She found all five cats and took photos for us - that is a feat! Appreciate her so much.”
“Victoria did an amazing job with drop-in visits for my 2 labs! I needed last minute help just letting them into the backyard and feeding them, and she was so kind and prompt and sent pictures with each visit. I will for sure book Victoria & Dustin again in the future.”

“Amy was an absolute lifesaver when she extended for a week when I was delayed coming home due to a family illness - thanks so much, Amy!! She was so patient with our skittish kitty, finally winning her over, ending with pets and lap naps! I highly recommend this wonderful lady!”

“Mary is great!! She is the epitome of an animal lover and an overall amazing human being! Being new to the area we don’t have many options when it comes to leaving our dog Maxx with someone and since he’s not the friendliest with other dogs, it makes it rather difficult to board him. After reading several of Mary’s reviews, we knew she was the one for Maxx but didn’t know if she would be available with such late notice, especially since she also boards and was fully booked for the days we would be away. She not only made herself available but she also came by the day before just to meet him so that he was comfortable with her. He took to her instantly! The update pics that she would send also proved that Maxx was happy and being well taken care of. We are absolutely going to look to use Mary for all our future needs! Thanks for everything Mary!!”

“My boys had so much fun with Alexis. I loved seeing their photos! This was the first time leaving my pups with anyone besides family and Alexis made me feel so at ease the whole time! ?”


About: i’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was a tiny girl. I have two babies right now, duke a 4 year old German Shepherd, and Joey a 1.5 year old shorthair cat. I am well versed in diets and medications (duke has some gastrointestinal issues he is on medications for.) i am good at orally administering medications and knowing symptoms of illness in animals. i also am familiar with reactivity with dogs (again Mr.Duke lol) and a few other behavioral issues (jumping,nipping,pawing etc..) (i also will scoop litter 1-2 times a day for any kitties i’m watching) if you have any questions i’m an open book and more than willing to answer! I am currently employed at a bank. i get 45 minute lunches and my work schedule varies. i understand the importance for caring for animals so i will give your babies my top attention and care. My fiancé is also available to help me with any heavy lifting or cover for me with my own animals so i can ensure i have time to care for yours! I spend time with animals i sit and walk playing and caring for so we can build i structured trust. animals depend on a humans trust and dependability first, so i believe creating that bond is the most imperative part of the sitting and walking process! My pets at home are fed twice to three times daily with water consistently available to them. they are groomed and walked with regular vet checks. medications and surgeries as needed are ALWAYS done. i pride myself in being an amazing cat and dog mom.
About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.
About: What sets me apart is the deep, genuine love I have for every animal in my care. I treat each pet like family, offering personalized attention, patience, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, including administering medication and managing mobility issues. Whether it’s training basics, cuddle time, or special needs care, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the pets I care for making sure they get the attention, walks, meals, playtime, and snuggles they need to feel happy and secure. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or cozy evening routines, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with animals. Their wellbeing is a priority, and I make sure my schedule allows for dependable, unrushed, and loving care every time. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a loving, safe space with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. At your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy.

About: I’m a trustworthy and caring pet lover who understands how important pets are to their families. I have experience helping care for dogs and other animals, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, exercise, and companionship. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, which has taught me the importance of patience, attention, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and secure, closely supervise interactions with other animals, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,364 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merit. 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.
