About: For the past 4 years, I’ve provided loving, dependable care for cats, dogs, and birds through overnight stays, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Cats are my specialty! I’m very experienced with feline behavior, shy cats and multi-cat households. I love making pets feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and routines, including daily walks, companionship, and overnight care. In addition, I have hands on experience with tropical birds and understand the importance of patience, consistency and attention to detail when caring for exotic pets. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every animal! I take my time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I am reliable, communicative, and committed to making pet parents feel confident while they’re away through regular updates and attentive care. I am currently a part-time worker at a local pharmacy and a Full-Time college student looking to make extra money while doing what I love. I am free at least 3-4 days a week, the more notice the better I can work around your preferred schedule. My preference is afternoons, however if mornings or nights are needed I can accommodate! I am more free during week days but can make time on weekends around my work schedule as I typically only work 5-6 hour shifts. I currently can not offer my personal living quarters for care, however I am able to travel up to 40 miles to stay with or check on pets. If you are in need of someone urgently and live outside a 40 mile radius please message me directly and I may be able to still work with you! I will walk, feed, stay with, play with and care for various cats and dog breeds! I also have experience with tropical birds and fish if need be. I will clean up after all animals and leave your home tidy and neat, as well as provide updates at your desired time span i.e (Daily, Hourly, Etc.).
About: I have spent my whole life around animals—dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, snakes, and more! I even bottle-fed a rabbit from birth. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time at a restaurant in the mornings only once or twice a week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and time. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure my availability works well with your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without the care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for!
“We are so glad we found Anna! She is just the sweetest person and our cats love her (and one of our cats doesn’t like anyone!). Anna is flexible, punctual, and a great communicator. Highly recommend her and we will be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a young child. I walked my dog, played with my cat, and kept order between the two for a decade. I volunteered at a PetSmart for several months cleaning litterboxes and playing with multiple cats, so I am used to working with cats with different personalities. Dogs get their own bedroom with plenty of space to bring their toys and rest. Alongside my flexible, open schedule, this past year I have had no pets to take care of, which allows me to give 110% of my effort towards your furry companion! I am currently an early college student who mainly takes online classes. I have my own reliable transportation and the time in my schedule for dedicated pet care time. I have a large partially fenced yard for large environment to play in. My neighborhood is quiet and incredibly walk-friendly. A popular park is within walking distance from my home.
“Amelia is great! She is reliable and communicates! There was a miscommunication of the dates needed but once we got that sorted everything went smoothly. I will definitely rebook Amelia again ☺️”
“Pluto (our boy) adapted to his new environment (with Danielle) within 1 day- which is amazing… that reason alone assured us, greatly, that he is safe. Danielle is an absolute natural! You will love her as well! Our next getaway, she will be the one we go to with no hesitation❣️❣️💯🙏🏾”
About: As a cat mom and experienced pet sitter, I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. I have experience working with anxious dogs, administering medications, and safely walking/managing multiple dogs at once. I also have cat-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy giving pets calm, attentive care that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references upon request! I’m currently taking a break from my full-time job, which means I have very open availability and a flexible schedule throughout the week. Because of this, I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling when needed. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine right now, and I genuinely enjoy building my days around spending time with animals. I believe pets are happiest when their routines and environments are respected, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, attentive way. My family’s home has a fenced-in yard, and I’m also a big walker, so pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time depending on their needs and energy levels. In clients’ homes, I’m very respectful, tidy, communicative, and detail-oriented. I understand that trust is a huge part of pet care, so I’ll proactively reach out with any questions or updates and will absolutely send plenty of photos while you’re away!
About: I've grown up with dogs from great pyrenees to baby chiweenies, and open to all kinds of dogs. I've helped with walk, cleaning after and medicating pups! I'm currently looking for employment and an active student, though I don't know scheduling yet-- I'm open any mornings / noons/ evening Monday through Friday besides Wednesday at 2pm to 3pm. I have an fenced in yard, and I feed both of my cats and scoop when needed. Clean after my dogs and walk them too. I'm able to give medications to dogs and depending on the medications for the cats, I'm able to do that too!
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As the oldest sibling in my family, I grew up helping care for pets and have always loved animals. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets when they are away. I am responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I love making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a cat of my own, so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I make time for feeding, playtime, exercise, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oakboro is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $20 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.

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.

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.
