âLulu was amazing with Mulder, she was very observant of his needs. Provided lots of care, cuddles and play. She definitely went above and beyond. I will book with her again.â

About: Growing up and throughout high school, I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet sitting and house sitting, a role I've continued to enjoy while moving around the country. Now, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience working with shy or anxious animals and helping them feel safe. I offer overnight pet care for one or more animals, which includes feeding, administering medications, playtime, walks (if requested), and giving lots of love and attention. I also handle waste removal. For shorter visits, I can stop by for potty breaks, playtime, or dog walks. I adjust walk length and pace based on your petâs needs and am happy to accommodate any special requests. Before caring for your pet, please provide any important details like dietary restrictions, emergency contacts, preferred veterinary clinics, and whether your pet has insurance. Any additional instructions are always appreciated! I have a flexible work schedule, with most of my work shifts taking place in the mornings. This allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings for pet sitting and house sitting, ensuring I can provide consistent care and attention to your pets when needed. ### Safety, Trust, and Environment **Safety:** Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have extensive experience working with animals, including shy or anxious pets, and am well-versed in handling various behaviors and situations. Whether it's administering medications or ensuring your home is secure, I take every step to create a safe and nurturing environment for your pets. I always follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy. **Trust:** I understand the importance of trust when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I have years of experience caring for pets in multiple locations across the country, and Iâve built long-standing relationships with neighbors and friends who trust me to care for their animals. You can count on me to respect your home and keep your pets well-cared-for as if they were my own. **Environment:** I strive to create a calm and stress-free environment for your pets while youâre away. Whether itâs maintaining their daily routine, offering extra playtime, or providing a quiet, comfortable space for rest, I cater to their unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved in their home environment, and I do everything possible to ensure their comfort.
âKatie was fantastic! She clearly loves cats and even looked in on our chickens making sure they were happy. She came exactly on time and gave Charlie lots of attention as well as feeding him and scooping the litter box. We couldn't have been happier having her at our house!â
About: I have taken care of special need dogs and elderly dogs. Puppy trained and provided meds and shots. I work from home so they will get many walks or let out as much as needed. I work from home so itâs very easy to provide a lot of attention to each animal. They will be taken care of very well. I will do anything requested. Lots of snuggles and attention. They will be top priority. Can be trusted with medications and special care and attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northumberland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
