“Seriously awesome, Shelly cares for my boys like they were her own. She took the time to get to know them and I think she started to bond with them the way I do, which is the best I could ask for if I’m not there to love them. It is clear Shelly is dedicated to her work, loves and understands animals. I have the utmost confidence in her.”

About: I've been around dogs & cats my entire life, and I can't imagine life without them! I've always had dogs of my own, and I spent five years providing pet care through Rover in Massachusetts, including dog walking, daycare, overnight stays, and in-home care. I have also had bunnies, ferrets, and other small pets. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of **all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities** — from energetic puppies and big dogs to senior pups who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I'm also happy to care for your feline family members! As the proud mom of an English Bulldog who requires daily medication, I understand firsthand the importance of following specific care routines. I'm experienced in administering oral medications and have given injections as well. I'm comfortable caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. Whether your pet needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, or companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're not home. I know pets aren't just pets — they're family. And I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️🐶🐱 You can expect a dependable, experienced caregiver who genuinely loves animals, respects your instructions, and will happily send updates and photos so you know your furry family member is in good hands! This is my main gig currently so I am able to be flexible schedule wise. I am available 7 days a week a variety of hours. I don't offer overnight care as I do have my own doggie to care for. However, I am able to do several pop overs if you are away for an extended amount of time. I will treat your pet with the same love and care as my own. My dogs/pets are always treated as a member of my family. If you are away for an extended day, I am able to stop by several times to care for your pet(s). If you need other small things done while I'm there I am happy to help (mail in, lights on/off, etc.).

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 I absolutely LOVE animals, and I truly believe they all deserve plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I’ve had experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of furry friends. I also completed an Animal Science program in high school, where I learned about animal behavior, how to read behavioral cues, and the basics of animal care and grooming. I’m happy to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and breeds! I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 💜🐶🐱 I currently work from home part-time and my daughter is in school 3 days a week. On school days and weekends my schedule is very open and flexible I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and care. I respect pets’ boundaries, pay attention to their behavior, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I keep spaces clean, including litter boxes, and provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: As an animal lover with two pets of my own, I absolutely love meeting new furry friends! I have been pet-sitting for family friends and neighbors for years, and now I have decided to join Rover to streamline the process. I am happy to do short walks and check-ins or to stay over in your house with your pet. I make my own schedule for work, so I am extremely flexible! I know how important it is for your pets to be happy and healthy, and I love being able to take care of them when you’re not available. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pets! I have a very flexible schedule, and plenty of time to care for your pets, whether that be check-ins or staying at your home! I am happy to work with whatever's most convenient to you. I will make sure to take care of all of your pet's needs as well as keep them company and give them lots of love and attention!

“Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!”

About: Hello! I’ve been caring for animals for many years and have experience with both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats, and I also had a wonderful dog named Morgan, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adapt to whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. If you’d like me to meet your pet before the booking, I’m more than happy to do so. If your pet prefers a calm environment, extra playtime, a specific routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll gladly follow your instructions. I understand how important it is to maintain their normal routine while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekends. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities! During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning the litter box (for cats) or picking up after walks (for dogs), playtime, administering medications (if needed and with clear instructions), and maintaining any special routines. I’ll always respect your home, keep doors and windows secure, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can go over their routine in detail. I’ll send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Old Mystic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Old Mystic is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $27 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.

As of November 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Old Mystic. 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 Mystic. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
