About: Grew up with dogs my whole life. They have always been a very important part of my life and can't imagine not having these amazing animals in my life. I am partially retired and have a lot of time to hang out and play with your fur baby. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats of my own and spend a lot of time playing and hanging out with them. I have a huge fenced yard on over 3 acres and two Cavalier King Charles of my own to keep your fur baby company! Can even crate if needed. Can take care of in my home or yours.

I prioritize safety, follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely, respect your home, and provide attentive, dependable care so you can feel completely at ease.
About: Hi! My name is Sydney and I've regularly walked my neighbors' dogs since I was 12. That role made me the go-to pet sitter for most of the households on my block! I've taken care of senior dogs over the age of 14, puppies, cats and kittens. At home, I have a cat and two dogs myself (a lab and a cavapoo). I work a hybrid job and can regularly check-in and be present with your pets! If you board with me, my pet-loving family is happy to play with your pup all day long as well! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs and one cat, so your dog needs to be friendly with other dogs. My cat is very good with dogs and my two dogs are friendly as well.
“It’s our fist time using rover, and we’re definitely asking Erin to take care of our kitties again! Erin was and is AMAZIIINGG!! She made sure that our kitties were well taken care off, and sent the cutest pictures! Helped us enjoy our vacation knowing the kitties were safe! I recommend her 100%!! She was also very communicative about everything which made us feel even more secure.”
“McKenna was great she really helped us out when we needed someone at the last minute. Our dog was well taken care of and she was right on time. Even when plans changed on our end it was no problem and she was very understanding. Will definitely use McKenna again.”
“Amanda helped with my 3 pups for an extended period, much longer than anticipated. She took over in an emergency and was so reliable and great with my dogs, and kind enough to accommodate us for an extended sit, that we asked for her services with no hesitation. And that can be tricky when you're not able to explain the care in person. We communicated via texts and phone on regular basis and she went above and beyond to fulfill my dogs' needs and care. And my pups took to her very quickly. Leaving home for quite a bit may be worrisome but she took charge of the house care as well as if it was her own space. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants a piece of mind while away and great care for their furry family members. Thank you from all of us!”

About: I love all animals. I love walking, am playful with them and take them to parks etc. I had a German Pointer, Vita, from puppy til her death. She was extremely loyal to me. Although I lived with my husband and kids, I was her person. Overall, I can tell animals are very "attracted" to me and even my friends notice that with their pets. I help taking care of my son's black lab. Im available most of days after 4PM and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. I love walking in the parks and neighberhoods. Your pets will be safe and get necessary care and excersises with me. If boarded in my house I will take care of him like my own pet. No worries. I have an unfanced big yard but I love walking so Id do that twice a day. With your permission I'd take the dog to the parks and hiking trails.

About: I’ve owned family dogs since I can remember we’ve always had a pet. I’ve cat sit for my sister and her friends on multiple occasions, dog sit for my aunt, watch family friends dogs, and have walked anything from a terrier to a Great Pyrenees. I’m currently a student at Wake Tech and work two part time jobs. The jobs don’t take up much of my time during the week and I utilize time management well, so school isn’t usually too busy unless it’s around tests or exams. I can get up whenever I need to and get sleep whenever I find the time I’m flexible in where I can be and for how long. My homes isn’t good for pet care as I still live with my parents and have a dog of my own living here, but I can assure you in your home I will care for your pet like it’s my own and treat them and your home with the utmost respect. I can do whatever is necessary to take care of my clients pet’s whether that’s just being around them because they like company, taking them for walks, feeding them, and ensuring their safety above all else.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Light
Gillian was great with our two cats! The moment I met her I was comfortable with her being in my home. She’s sweet, kind, and truly loves all animals! I have already recommended her to family members! Thank you Gillian, you’ll be hearing from us in the future!❤️
We have used Rover for over 10 years and Rachel is the absolute gold standard. She uses the entire duration of her visit and sends detailed notes as well as mapping our dog's walks. Our pets are very comfortable with Rachel and we're grateful for the detailed attention, care, and kindness with which she looks after them and creates her well documented check-ins. During our most recent booking, Rachel was incredibly flexible with us when we had an emergency while traveling that extended our stay beyond our initially booked appointments. When that extended stay meant the waste bags we provided ran out she not only brought her own for the rest of the additional visits but actually left us two full extra rolls. She truly goes so far above and beyond and we'll always book with Rachel whenever we have the chance!
We are so happy that we found Marissa to check in on our sweet cat Spooky while we were away. I’m usually very nervous, and we were going to be very far away for over a week, but after meeting Marissa, we were both very comfortable and confident that Spooky would be in good hands. We looked forward to the photos Marissa sent us each day of Spooky playing, and we returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you for your efficient communication and for taking wonderful care of our baby!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Light is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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.

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.

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.
