“Pamela was wonderful! She was so kind to both us and our pets. Great communication and photos so we knew what was going on with our cats while out of town. You can really tell she cares for the animals she cares for! Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have one of my own. i’ve been to training classes with my dog. i’ve walked multiple dogs before as well as dog sitting. I work part time in the evening and have time for pets during the day before 3pm! As well as evening visits and boarding on the weekends! I have a good neighborhood and two easy accessible dog parks! I also have access to east transportation to meet you where you need and best fits for your dog!
“Fantastic coverage for my 2-week absence. Mandi even got my formerly-feral cat comfortable enough to come out and sit in the hallway during her visits, which is an accomplishment for a stranger! She takes detailed notes and asks all the questions during the meet & greet, and had a great idea for key return under the door.”
“Tucker was amazing — he took great care of my fur baby and provided pics regularly AND he was gracious and unflappable in the face of some unforeseen challenges. Flexible, great communicator, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Great with following directions and proactively taking care of all the things — he even noticed the light on the automatic feeder and refilled it before I even messaged him about the notification I’d received. Perhaps best of all, he saw AJ for the loving, playful kitty that he is—so I knew AJ was feeling comfortable and that he was in good, kind hands. Would definitely recommend to others and would be glad to have his help again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 12! I help my neighbors, family, and friends whenever I can. I love all animals :) I have 4 cats of my own! I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday 10:30am to 7pm! I have plenty of time in the morning before work for pet care and after work. I'm not able to host pets at my home, but I bring the same level of care and attention directly to yours. I'm happy to follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the snuggles your pet needs to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you always know how your fur baby is doing! :)
“Sidney was great. She checked in on my cats once a day and made sure they had everything they needed. She also did some light cleaning, sent daily updates and photos, and the cats seemed totally comfortable with her. I came home after my 10 day trip to two happy and healthy cats. I’d definitely book her again.”
“Jordan took great care of our cats while we were away! She was super dependable and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. She must be a cat whisperer to get our shy cat to come out and play!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of Pumpkin! Hailey went above and beyond to get to know my cat beforehand which I appreciated given my cats anxiety and medication needs. Hailey was dependable and gave me updates for every visit”
About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. I’m currently working 5 days per week with weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Friday or anytime Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clients’ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!
About: I have a lot of experience with animals, especially cats and dogs. Growing up I had multiple rescue dogs and a cat. In addition to my own pets I regularly take care of my neighbors’ dogs. In the past I worked for Cherokee Kennels and volunteered for Shelter from the Storm and the Dane County Humane Society. I am currently working part time and would love to care for your pups and kitties in my free time. I am looking for jobs primarily in the evenings and weekends. I care very deeply for the health and wellness of all animals. In addition to feeding my own dog her diet specific food and treats and walking her we love to play and cuddle. This is the kind of care I have with others’ pets too.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable around dogs of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup is energetic and loves a long walk or prefers a slower stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to accommodate them. I’m responsible and detail-oriented, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully regarding your dog’s routine, walking preferences, and any special needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m excited to meet new furry friends and make sure every walk is a fun, safe, and positive experience! 🐾 With my current work schedule I am available during the week late afternoons and evenings and occasionally during the day around lunch hour. Typically any time between 5-10 pm during the week works best. I would be available anytime on the weekends. When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I treat their home and their pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure their dog’s routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special instructions are followed. Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive when entering and leaving the home, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and keep dogs safely leashed during walks. I also pay attention to their behavior and surroundings so I can recognize if they are uncomfortable, stressed, or need extra attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I’m dependable, respectful, and responsible, and I’ll provide updates after visits so you know how your dog is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾
About: I’ve been a cat lover my whole life <3 I currently have two of my own, and I know how important is to trust someone to care for them. I use Rover myself, so I know the ins and outs of what a quality drop in visit is. My work schedule is not consistent, but I will keep my Rover schedule up to date. I am available for drop in visits any time of the day on my days off :) I will respect your home by leaving it the way I arrived. I will follow any instructions that you provide to care for your pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 10+ years, and have two of my very own! I am extremely passionate about my love for dogs, and would love to be able to meet more and help you out! I currently work from home doing social media and marketing, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Once June starts, my Tuesday and Thursday nights are full from about 3-8 but can always let your dog out before and/or after! Once end of August hits I head back to school in Madison, WI! I care for pets very deeply. I believe that all pets deserve the best life they can possibly live. My two dogs are taken on at least 1-2 walks a day, while getting play time in our back yard. Exercise is extremely important to dogs, as well as chill time:)
About: I have had a family pet all through my highschool and college years. I would be willing to see dogs or cats. I am a temp dental hygienist so have many hours of availability. I love animals and love spending time with them! Looking for a companion on my many walks. My condo also has a large green space for Animals as well as doggy doodoo bags (; I desperately want a dog but cannot get one at this time but I love to stay active and walk around and would love a dog to accompany me. I have a cat in my condo but he is very friendly. Let me know if you have any questions! I take long walks daily, sometimes multiple times a day and would be happy to take your dog with me! My schedule is flexible and can walk during the day or evening. I have one cat at home but have access to a green space as well as easy access to the outdoors which is close to parks and bike paths for walks and care.
About: I am an aspiring vet student who has 10 plus years of experience with cats and dogs both owning and sitting for. I have medical knowledge that other sitters may not have as I work at an ER for pets as a nurse! I am extremely flexible with my time and availability and will ensure that your pet gets the well-deserved love and care they need! As a bonus, I can offer nail trims, sanitary shaves, and ear cleanings during their stay if requested! I'm currently working part time night-shift, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I make my own schedule during the day, so I can easily work around your pet's needs. I have a dog and cat myself at my apartment that are well socialized to be around other dogs. I can accommodate up to two dogs in my apartment if needed and can also go to your home if preferred. For cats, I find it best to go to them. I do not have a yard, but my apartment complex is pet friendly with a play area and lots of walking trails nearby.
“Dawnlea is an amazing pet sitter! My pup has separation anxiety, but she was so warm, calm, and sweet with Matilde. She cleaned up my house when she had a little bit of an accident and was extremely communicative, always providing lots of updates and photos throughout her visits too. Definitely recommended her services to everyone in the Janesville area! 😄”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 309 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
