“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”
“Bethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. 💜”
About: Your dog will enjoy a spacious one-acre property with plenty of room to run, sniff, and play. For dogs that love the water, supervised pool time is available with owner permission. I provide personalized care, lots of playtime, and a safe, loving environment. I have been involved in providing pet boarding for a while now. I am 34 with a very outgoing and active lifestyle. Animals/pets have always been part of my life and being around them and their well being has always been one of my biggest passions. I work from home so I have plenty of time to obligate to your pets and their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of time to give pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also have open availability for boarding, so your pet will receive attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable environment while you're away.

“Aspyn was patient with my dog Hildy and let her warm up over a visit or two. After that, she kept Hildy active and engaged and was a great Rover check-in overall. Kept an eye on the automatic food/water just in case, super attentive and great with communication. Definitely highly recommend.”
“Katie provides excellent communication and I feel confident in the care she provides, and provides me peace of mind that me Leela is in great and caring hands while I am out of town.”
“Chrystal did an amazing job with our kitties! Very attentive and well informed on cat care, our kitties did great with her. We will be rebooking with her in the future :)”
“Caitlyn saved our 4th of July trip and made sure Nova didn't feel alone while we were gone. Walks daily, always updated if she ate or went potty. It made me feel so much better for my 1st time hiring a dog sitter.”
“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“So nice and understanding! I'm an awkward person so I feel like I have to talk but she never put that pressure on me and just talked when I kind of make it more obvious that I was going to keep awkward talking xD.”
“Priya was very attentive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She sent detailed updates with every drop in. She kept an eye on our home for us too. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hey! My name is Emma. I've been apart of the pet care industry for 3 years. I've always adored cats ever since I was a child, but my true passion for dogs started when I got my first dog at 17 (I'm 21 now) My Golden Retriever named Molly inspired me to start my career as a dog trainer. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours working on my skills and perfecting the craft. I've volunteered at the Hornell Humane Society where I've walked dogs. I've also completed a 3 month mentorship with a professional trainer, Ash Osborn with the Pawsitive Pups Academy. Since then I've started taking both training and dog sitting/walking clients! I believe my skills make me a great option for all your pet care needs. I will never turn down dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the patience and integrity. I will always to my best to maintain a clean and safe environment.
About: Lifelong dog and cat lover with over two years of professional experience in a veterinary clinic setting. By combining medical knowledge, including symptom tracking and medication administration, with a friendly attentive approach built from raising family pets and pet sitting for friends and family alike. I am committed to keeping dogs happy, healthy, and active while providing owners with absolute peace of mind. My schedule is structured to ensure pets receive a massive amount of high-quality time and attention. I am an early riser, allowing plenty of time every morning for thorough feeding, fresh water resets, and energetic play sessions. After my workday, my entire evening is completely dedicated to companionship, grooming, and winding down together. My job is highly predictable, meaning I am never late for routines, and I am always home for overnight stays. There is more than enough time in my day to ensure your pet is happy, deeply cared for, and never lonely. I will treat your home like a professional environment and your pet like family. Because I am highly detail oriented, I strictly adhere to your precise care instructions. I will review physical comfort, monitoring appetite, and tracking litter box habits. Help engaging your pet with structured play and mental stimulation. And just as importantly your home security by double-checking locked doors, sending detailed photo updates as requested, as well as being quick and promptly with replies these all make me a great choice for owners who want stress-free care while they are away.
“Thank you for the drop in visit to take care of our sweet girl! It looks like she was motivated for a decent walk & ate most of her food (& both are accomplishments for our senior girl : ) )! We appreciate your detailed update!”
About: I grew up on 6 acres of land caring for virtually every type of pet you could imagine for the first 15 years of my life. I even started a YouTube channel when I was 13 years old and accumulated 41k followers and over 26 million views, just by sharing my love and compassion for animals! I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, and a bird and would love to help you and your fur babies in your time/s of need. I cannot do overnight housesitting at this time, but I can spend the days at your home if you need :) I currently stay home during the day with my sweet, gentle, animal-loving 1-year-old girl, and only work 3 days a week for a few hours. When I’m not home, my boyfriend is so we have all the time in the world to give your fur babies the time and attention they need and deserve! I am an above-and-beyond type of sitter, not just an ‘only what is in the job description’. I want to give the type of care that I would want my own fur babies to receive!
“Ariana was great! She was very reliable and followed all of my requests. My pets have a pretty tight routine and she was able to keep it perfectly. She was also very in tune with my dog. She could tell that he didn’t want to walk too far from home and let him do his walk where he could still see our house! This is something I knew about him, but totally forgot to mention to her. She just picked right up on it. Will definitely use her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,003 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merritt Island. 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.
