Camryn has always been an amazing person to work with. We had a mishap with our schedule and she was extremely flexible. We are lucky to have Camryn take care of our little cat.

About: Drop ins: I’ll take your dog on a little walk before feeding them and spending time with your little furry love (20-30 minutes or so) Walking: I’ll take your pooch for a walk and/or run for as long as they require. House sitting: we will go on walks, snuggle, eat and I will be respectful of the owners home- clean up after myself and the animal so you come home to a nice clean home and you don’t have to rush to take care of your beloved fur baby! Boarding: not my preferred method of watching your pooch but if it’s absolutely needed, I can accommodate to make your pooch feel warm and welcome in my home.I have 2 large male dogs and a 2 year old- they’re great but getting older and less tolerant of other dogs.

This was our first time using Rover and Amanda for our cats, and it was a fantastic experience! Amanda took great care of them, shared pictures daily, made sure to love on them during every visit and was responsive to our messages/questions throughout the booking. It was hugely reassuring to know our cats were in good hands while we were away - and we will be sure to book with her for our next trip!

About: I've been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 12 years old, and for the past two years I've provided professional pet sitting for cats, dogs, and small animals. My experience includes overnight care, drop-in visits, feeding, exercise, habitat and litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of companionship tailored to each pet's individual needs. I'm experienced caring for both playful kittens and puppies as well as adult pets, and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine. For active dogs, I'm happy to include them on walks or runs (with owner approval), while cats enjoy interactive play, enrichment, or even supervised outdoor time using harnesses or pet strollers when appropriate. I also have three guinea pigs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with the daily care and habitat maintenance required for small animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra attention, I'll provide patient, reliable care and treat them with the same love and respect that I give my own pets. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate midday drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or habitat cleaning, and companionship. I'm available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 3:00 PM. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. For energetic dogs, I enjoy staying active and regularly go on morning runs and afternoon walks. If your dog enjoys exercise and you're comfortable with it, I'd be happy to include them in these outings to help keep them happy and mentally stimulated. For pets that prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy to provide leisurely walks, playtime, or plenty of companionship. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have three guinea pigs of my own, so I'm very familiar with the daily care and habitat maintenance that small animals require, including feeding, spot cleaning, and enclosure upkeep. My experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets has taught me that every animal has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing patient, attentive care tailored to each pet's personality and routine.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

Erin was amazing with our dog! She was extremely responsive and helped us with any questions we had for her! She also was willing to go the extra mile and travel a bit farther than other potential sitters. I will definitely hire her again and recommend Erin to others in need of a doggo sitter.

About: Growing up with the passion and duty of taking my neighbors dogs on walks, or dog-sitting for the weekend gave me the experience and knowledge to ensure your pets safety and happiness! Im currently working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of your pets. My schedule varies weekly, but I can do drop bys and walks any time if planned a day ahead of time. I come to my clients homes and provide your pets with love and care while you’re away, taking them on walks and feeding them. All while ensuring the safety and cleanliness of my clients homes.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have grown up surrounded by cats and dogs. Caring for pets has always come naturally to me! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and simply spending time with your sweet friend. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My husband and I will do our very best to create a calm and comforting environment for your pet. I’m happy to stick to their routine, give extra snuggles, or just sit with them quietly if that’s what helps them feel safe. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can see how they’re doing and feel reassured while you’re away. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule will depend on my classes and clinicals, but I won’t be working another job so it gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether you need help with daily care or overnight stays, I’m happy to come to your home to feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Mount Vernon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $12.77 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 269 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mount Vernon. 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 Mount Vernon. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
