“Barbara is amazing and very clearly an animal lover. She responded right away, was very personable, took care of my friends and sent many pics to put me at ease they were well. I booked the drop-in visit because an already lengthy trip was doubled and they had run out of supplies. Barbara brought litter and food she had at home because she cares for strays, true compassion for all animals. Besides the many positive reviews she obviously does this a lot as she was already familiar with my complex from walking some neighbors dogs. Very highly recommended, I will request her services again for sure. Thank you Barbara, you're great”

“Swagata took the absolute best care of our two cats (one we’ve had for 15 years and the other for 8). They mean so much to us and we had to be away for three months somewhere we couldn’t have them, which was honestly heartbreaking. I was so nervous we wouldn’t find someone who’d care for them like we do, but I swear she might’ve done an even better job. I think they liked her more than us by the end 😂 She totally got to know their personalities, gave them their favorite toys, helped with their sensitive stomachs, and genuinely loved them. She sent us photos all the time and I never once worried. Her house is basically cat heaven and she’s 100% the cat whisperer. If I could give her 100 stars I would because 5 doesn’t even come close. If my cats ever need to stay somewhere again, it’ll only be with Swagata. Thank you so much Swagata!! ❤️”

“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”

She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.

We were gone for 5 days and felt completely comfortable having her in our home to visit and care for our animals. We will be calling on her again if we need pet sitting services.”

“Chris did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. He was reliable, thorough, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos at every visit. He clearly spent real time playing with them and getting to know their personalities, and he even helped with a few things around the house without being asked. I came home to happy cats and everything in great shape. I’d absolutely book Chris again.”

We have found our permanent person, Jocelyne, for all cat sitting and home needs. Finally, our cat is older and has medical needs which Jocelyne tended to perfectly. We have already booked her for another trip when we will be away. Thank you, Jocelyne!”

Lindsey is one of a kind: my dog, the shyest boy ever, loves her. My cat, the sassiest boy ever, loves her. She is a great communicator and always willing to help. She’s been a lifesaver on a number of spur of the moment requests and always works with us to provide the best care for our picky critters. We will book again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Old Mill Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,548 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Old Mill Creek. 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Mill Creek. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
