“Amy was amazing! We appreciated her sending the visit updates and pictures. That made us feel at ease being away for a few days. We also have an older cat that needs lots of special attention. We felt comfortable knowing our sweet babies were being taken care of.”

“Kaylee is phenomenal!!! This was our first booking and already have another lined up. She’s extremely thorough in getting to know your pet and makes sure any info/instructions are followed. Great communication and she writes the best report card updates, not to mention snaps the most adorable pics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 definitely recommend! 🤗”
“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”

“We are die hard fans of Jessica! She makes the whole process so easy and stress free. No doubt in my mind that our fur baby will be in good hands. 1000/10 would highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Happy to spend time with your fur babies! Having two Great Pyrenees of my own, they are a large breed dog that has to have consistent maintenance! I often already doggy sit or help out my friends with their own pets. I’m currently not working just studying for a test to get into a program for a while. I have lots of flexibility and free time currently. At my own home I have two fluff balls who enjoy free roam inside during the day and have a large fenced backyard. They are spoiled down to getting pets when they want it and plentiful of treats! Lots of play time
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, both puppies and senior dogs. I have also worked on ranches and helped take care of much larger animals. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, especially when it come to distributing medicine and helping with any special exercising they might need. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm also available for overnight stays and just popping in throughout the day. At my home I love letting my dogs out in the yard and playing with them while I work on homework or other things. I think exercise is really important for dogs and I really try to prioritize that even if its only a short run around the yard.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 259 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Merrydale. 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 Merrydale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
