“Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.”

“Claudia did a fantastic job for taking care of my cat Bobbie during my five weeks away from home. She showed up on time and fed and cared for the cat as scheduled. She took the cuttest pictures and filed a report every day. I have never been away from my cat for so long and was apprehensive about the change of routines but Bobbie was well-fed and cared for as if nothing has happened when I returned. Claudia is a sweetest person and very responsive and accommodating. I am sure her training as vet assistant is instrumental in helping Bobbie making the adjustment. I cannot thank her enough and will definitely ask for her next time I am away.”

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with pets and currently temp foster for a local animal rescue! This gave me hands-on experience in all aspects of pet care. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and creating safe, fun environments. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect, ensuring they feel happy and secure while in my care! I’m a stay-at-home-mom and I have two kids under the age of 5. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little kids, so my pet care fits around our family routine. Depending on the season and whether we spend time outside, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet gets attention, love, and a safe environment, while keeping care consistent and reliable for pet parents. I have a big, open yard where dogs can play and explore safely, and I have a small fenced in area to keep your dog safe and secure. Occasionally, I may have a foster dog or cat in my home, which gives your fur baby companionship and socialization opportunities. I always supervise interactions, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and happy while in my care.

About: I currently work at a pet vaccination clinic, where I’m around dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments on a regular basis. This experience has taught me how to be comfortable and patient with all types of pets, from energetic pups/cats to shy or nervous and everything in between. I’ve also pet-sat for dogs and cats in the past and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while you’re away. 💕 I’m available Monday through Friday and may also be available on some Saturdays and Sundays. Since I work weekends at my job, my weekend schedule can vary, and I may be home until around 7pm. Weekend availability and accommodations can be discussed to find what works best for you and what best fits my weekend schedule! 🐾 I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs of my own, and they truly mean the world to me. Before moving away from home, I actually had five dogs, so I’ve always been surrounded by lots of furry personalities, love, and companionship! When I am caring for your pets, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep up with their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. 🐾💕 I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets a fun, loving experience! 🐶🐱✨

About: I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and providing pets with plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and select weekday pet-sitting opportunities. My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

About: After 20 years of personal pet ownership (cats and dogs), and full-time Federal employment in public safety, I have transitioned from over a decade of part-time professional pet care to full-time... and I wouldn't have it any other way. :-) Pet CPR and First Aid, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteer, and in progress with Rovers certification program. Dog walking and pet care is my 24/7. Typically, I have built in walks scheduled between 10AM-2PM Monday through Friday, however, this varies depending on holidays, school scheduling, etc. Care expectations are discussed and clearly laid out prior to booking service. The number one rule for my home is CALM. There are two rooms fully dedicated to pet care where the set up is modified as needed for each client. There is a dog friendly orange tabby cat in the home that has his own separate room and space and does not interact with pet sitting clients.

She even left some treats for him before leaving knowing we wouldn’t be back for a while. Grace also left our apartment in a cleaner state than when we left for the weekend and we greatly appreciated it! We will definitely be using grace as a sitter again!”

“Overall, Jessica took great care of my cat. She gave me frequent updates on my cat's status/ temperament, sent pictures, let him explore different areas of her house for hiding places since he was shy, and played with him. Her sweet dog understood to play gently around him since he was smaller, and my cat felt comfortable around her once he warmed up to her.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over 15 years. Animal breeds ranging from Labradors, boxers and mix breeds. I currently have a rescue dog, and a kitty from birth. I am currently working full time and available almost every weekend. I'd be available to care for your animals after 3:30pm daily and anytime on the weekend. I have a bark park just around the corner and a happy jolly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company. I have a nice large crate, should your dog need to be crated for any reason.

About: Ever since my family got our first dog I have fallen in love with taking care of animals. I have taken care of my pet, friends and family’s pets, and recently even worked at a doggy daycare and hotel! I am looking to be independent with my business and have a better schedule so that I can focus on my vet school. I have taken care of animals without teeth, with pills, with funky weird behaviors, with asthma, etc. I am still working and going to school, but I am hoping to make the transition into Rover. Unfortunately my work schedule is inconsistent and doesn’t communicate in advance, but I will always try my best. Just reach out if unsure and I can set something up with you! I am so used to making sure that everything is as safe as possible. I am trained in dog scuffles, behaviors, and work a job where I am constantly cleaning up and making sure everyone is safe and clean. I am on my phone alot and take TONS of photos, so I will always be able to tell a story and send a photo of your baby(s).

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is that I have first hand experience with many types of dogs and cats. I’ve worked at a couple of daycares and I have my own animals that I care for deeply. I understand how a pet can be your child and I promise to care for them as I would my own. I’m very responsible, reliable, and I am very fast with responses. Please consider me when you want your pet properly cared for🫶 I currently stay at home for work and I am an artist! I care for my cats daily and can take on the extra responsibility of your animals too! I care for my own pets in many ways, I accommodate their needs and I also try to give them the best care possible! Accidents happen but I always keep the place clean!

Claudia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover or any type of pet sitting service. At first I was slightly nervous as I knew our cats are somewhat shy and I didn’t exactly know what to expect. Claudia eased all my concerns! She was incredibly communicative leading up to her visits and our kitties loved her! Highly highly recommend and we won’t hesitate to book her again!

If you need a catsitter, make sure it's Jackie! She came highly recommended by another repeat client whom I know personally. I get anxious leaving my "velcro kitty" alone, but from the moment I met Jackie I knew my girl was in good hands. Jackie sent thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, and we're incredibly grateful! But don't just take my word, trust my cat's review. She crawled into Jackie's lap during her very first visit and parked there for each subsequent visit!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Mount Vernon on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 7,046 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .

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 , 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.
