“Charis dropped in to see our 5 cats each day over a 4 day weekend. She is so easy to work with and wonderfully detailed regarding her visits! We have her coming back next weekend, and I know the cats will be well taken care of. 😊”

“Taylor is amazing! She’s reliable, caring, and truly loves what she does. She even celebrated my dogs’ upcoming birthdays, which was such a thoughtful touch. My dogs adore her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend! ⭐️”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During college, I worked as a veterinary assistant, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. In addition to my professional experience, I have rescued and fostered numerous dogs over the years, helping them transition into loving forever homes. As a proud dog parent to five dogs of my own, I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, attention, and care we would give our own. I am responsible, compassionate, patient, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while you're away. I look forward to treating your furry family member like one of my own! Experience with: •Senior care •Puppy care •Pets with disabilities •Pet medication administration This season of life has taught me to slow down and focus on what matters most. As I recover from cancer and gradually return to work, pet sitting has become something that brings me joy, purpose, and healing. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, responsible, and attentive hands. I provide attentive, loving care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets are treated like family and given a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and surroundings to reduce stress and keep them happy while their owners are away. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. My parents were Great Dane breeders and I have experience raising puppies from birth-seniority. I used to groom dogs as a part time job and would love to groom yours free of charge while sitting for you! I am also experienced in training dogs basic commands as well as a few tricks and could probably have your furry baby doing a new trick in less than 2 hours. I'd love to help you with your lovable best friend, day or night!❤️ I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to give your furry friend that special TLC they love! I always come prepared with treats and toys as well. I usually arrive at the client's house, let the pet introduce themselves to me naturally (no threatening behavior, no forced petting, no loud or excited talking, just let them get to know me!) and then hang out in their space for a bit, offering treats if allowed, letting them get used to me, then going on with the routine of feeding, walking, etc, if I'm allowed to groom them, once they're used to my presence, I'll begin that, making sure to stop immediately if they seem upset or threatened! I always end our day together with some treats/food and spending some time with them!
About: I've lived with and cared for animals ever since I was old enough to walk and talk, mostly dogs. In recent years I've gained some training experience from having trained my own three dogs, one of which I had for over 18 years. As of now, I am working to fill out my schedule for house visits, walking, potty breaks, and anything you might need for your angels ❤️. Unfortunately, I cannot house any other animal in my home due to space and the pets I already have, but I am more than happy to stay over with your pet! I bring my own suitcase of food and supplies usually follow a feeding/walking schedule set by you, the client. Any additional rules and or stipulations I will be sure to follow with upmost respect!
“Shelby met with us before we hired her and was good with our dogs in person. She did mid-day breaks two days in a row while we were unable to be at home. She navigated two energetic youngsters and a senior pup. Will use again.”

“My cat Harry was very happy with Leah and has requested her to watch him over the holidays! He was well taken care of and Leah also got the Mail for us! She did an outstanding job!”


About: Reliable, structured care is what sets me apart. I’m happy to follow your established routines and house rules to ensure consistency for your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies (crate routines and reinforcing good habits) as well as senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive pace. I regularly care for dogs during the weekday and am experienced managing routines, timing, and midday coverage. I prioritize dependable timing, clear communication, and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve owned dogs for over 15 years and have been pet sitting since 1995. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care is already part of my regular weekday routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable service. I structure my schedule to maintain dependable timing for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically available for weekday midday and afternoon care, and I also offer boarding with a safe, structured environment and plenty of outdoor time for play, exercise, and fresh air. I don’t currently have dogs of my own, which allows me to provide a calm environment and give your pet my full attention. I keep my schedule organized to ensure each pet receives attentive, well-paced care and doesn’t feel rushed or overlooked. Safety and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, including feeding schedules, crate or free-roam preferences, and any specific care instructions. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a large, fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time, exercise, and enrichment. Pets are never left unattended with unknown animals, and I prioritize a low-stress setting tailored to each dog’s temperament. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might indicate stress or discomfort. I’m also comfortable administering basic medications if needed. I focus on clear communication, dependable care, and making sure both you and your pet feel confident and at ease.

“Regan is amazing! Our meet and greet went great but during the visit my dog was nervous, barking and keeping his distance. Regan took the time to make him feel comfortable and now he loves when Regan visits! I appreciate Regan so much. I'll definitely be booking again.”

“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”

“Had an absolute wonderful experience with Justice! My fur babies were well taken care of down to the detailed instructions. My senior was given her medication orally even when my senior pup gave her a little trouble taking it, she made sure my pup got her meds. I am so thankful to have had someone who knew what they were doing and did it wonderfully! All three of my big fur babies enjoyed having Justice watch over them.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,028 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Nelson. 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.

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.
