“Sam was a delight to meet and have watch our cats! We are crazy cat people and Sam was happy to care for our fur babies just the way we asked. She provided excellent updates and photos while we were gone, and was able to bond with even our shy kitty. We would be delighted to have her watch our cats again in the future. She also kindly took on a few responsibilities for our tortoise, which we so appreciated. Thank you, Sam!”

“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter, let alone using Rover. We had considered hiring two other sitters previously, but decided against it because of poor communication or no shows. We found Brittaney and it was immediately a breath of fresh air. 🙏 She responded quickly, we were able to book with her last minute, she communicated in friendly, caring, and professional manner. While we were away, she sent us all kinds of pictures, spent time really trying to bond with our cats, and truly made us feel like they were in great hands. Not only is Brittaney excellent at what she does, but you can truly tell she has a passion for loving animals. I’d very much hire Brittaney again, and plan on it when the need arises. 🙏🙏”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. I am known for being able to get animals to warm up to me rather quickly so I am a great sitter to have if your fur baby is nervous around new humans. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for 2-4 hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and will not be gone longer than 4 hours. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

About: 🐾 My Daily Pet Care Routine I provide a comfortable, loving, and structured environment for every dog in my care. I work to follow each pet parent’s normal routine as closely as possible while making sure their pup receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout their stay. 🌅 Morning: Our first outdoor potty break is typically between 7:00–8:00 AM. ☀️ Lunch: Around lunchtime, we head outside for a good walk and potty break, giving your pup an opportunity to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air. 🍽️ Dinner: Dinner and another outdoor break are typically around 6:00–7:00 PM. I will always follow your preferred feeding schedule and instructions. 🌙 Bedtime: We have one final walk and potty break between approximately 8:00–10:00 PM before settling in for the night. 🐕 On-Site Dog Park My apartment community has an on-site dog park, which gives us another convenient option for potty breaks, outdoor time, and play. The space may be especially comfortable for smaller breeds, although I regularly see dogs of different sizes using it for quick outdoor and potty breaks. Our community also provides dog waste stations and complimentary poop bags, making it easy to keep the area clean and comfortable for everyone. 🦴 Pet Supplies & Feeding I come prepared with dog bowls, treats, and dog food. However, I strongly encourage pet parents to provide their dog's usual food whenever possible so we can avoid unnecessary dietary changes or upset stomachs. I will follow the feeding schedule, portions, treats, and other instructions you provide. ❤️ Lots of Love Included Affection is always included! I love giving my four-legged guests cuddles, attention, companionship, and plenty of love. After losing my beloved dogs Mylo and Leo, caring for other people's pets has become especially meaningful to me. Every pup who stays with me gets treated with kindness and affection while their family is away. 💜 Affordable Pet Care If you look at my listed rates and they're outside your current budget, please don't hesitate to message me anyway. Tell me about your pet, the dates you need care, and what you're working with financially. When possible, I'm happy to discuss adjustments and find an arrangement that works for both of us. I understand that expenses can add up quickly, especially in today's economy. I want dependable, loving pet care to remain accessible while still providing your pet with the attention and quality of care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾 I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.

About: Hello! I offer in-home pet sitting and provide drop-in visits and dog walking services. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals and love giving dogs and the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are extremely important to me, and I will always respect your routines, requests, and care instructions to ensure they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. A little about me: I have a strong love for animals and have gained hands-on experience through various volunteer positions working with pets. I have volunteered with Animal Aid Inc., where I gained experience caring for both cats and dogs. In addition, I am currently studying to become a veterinary technician through the Penn Foster program, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or thoughts about working with me. I will always do my best to respond promptly and provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care for your beloved pet. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize keeping pets on a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about availability and send updates during each stay. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Here is an example of the important aspects I require in a care guide: 1. Feeding Schedule/Amount 2. Walking Schedule/Best Destinations and Best Walking Routes 3. Personality/Needs (Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they pull on the leash? Any important commands I should know?) 4. House Rules 5. Vet Info/Emergency Contact I look forward to working with you and your pet!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Ever since I was little, I’ve spent my time learning about different breeds, their personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Because of that passion, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal body language, which helps me recognize when a pet is happy, stressed, nervous, or just wants some extra attention. I’ve also learned basic training techniques and enjoy working with animals in a positive, patient way. I even taught my cat to sit on command! I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. What makes me a perfect pet sitter is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s giving an energetic dog plenty of playtime or making sure a shy cat feels safe and comfortable, I take the time to earn their trust. I also understand how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I make it a priority to provide reliable care and ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time to caring for pets throughout the week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or last-minute bookings. I enjoy spending my time with animals, so being able to provide reliable, attentive care isn’t just convenient for me, it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I always care for pets based on their individual routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of love and attention while respecting their comfort level. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can recognize if something seems off or if they need extra care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, or training commands. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to help you feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by keeping their routine consistent and treating them like they’re my own.

“Olivia was a fantastic and very appreciated resource to watch my cat Otto during a recent multi-day drop in visit that was needed. She provided lots of attention and love to Otto giving everything I wished for him while I was gone including lots of playtime, feeding supplements, sharing pictures and all the cuddles. I hope to absolutely use her again for the next time I will be out of town and need someone to drop-in.”

Teaghan was great-she not only looked after our cats, but she gave them extra time when she had it and made sure our litter robot was functioning appropriately (even though we didn’t ask her to do this)!! There was an issue where one of our doors locked on her, despite this she stayed with our cat and had a really positive attitude 💕. We came home to very happy cats and appreciated her communication and photos.

Hannah did a great job taking care of both my cats, including one nearly 14 year old and one one year old cat. The older one requires medication twice a day. I was given detailed updates and many pictures from each check-in. The cats looked really happy, and the house was really clean when I came home (9 day job, two visits each day). I am fortunate to find her, and hope to hire to her again!

Alina did a fantastic job taking care of our shy elderly cat. She kept to the agreed schedule, followed all direction and sent regular updates at each drop in. She was calm and let him become comfortable with her, so we were able to get pictures of him get pets and attention after each drop in. She also went above and beyond, putting our trash cans out on the curb, after seeing our neighbors put theirs out. We would absolutely hire Alina in the future and recommend her services to others.

Dannielle was absolutely incredible with our two cats while we were away for Labor Day Weekend! We have a 15 year old cat who has several daily medications (both oral and topical) and Dannielle administered all of them with no issues! Not only that, but she gave her a “breakfast in bed” experience so she could eat where she was sitting comfortably. Dannielle played with our 1 year old cat, even giving her some delicious silvervine. We got so many pictures and videos of our babies, which was the highlight of our evenings while we were gone. Truly cannot recommend Dannielle enough, incredible sitter!!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Metzger

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Metzger is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,507 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Metzger. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Metzger. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
