“Caitlin is the best! We had her drop in daily to our two kitties for two weeks. Caitlin snuggled and picked them up and actually spent time with them. Its rare to find a cat sitter that likes cats and gives our kitties the affection they need while we are gone. They were really happy and I would 10/10 reccomend her for your kitties needs!”
About: I’ve lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs my entire life! Have a high energy and chaotic fur baby? It’s a good thing I love walks and playing! Got a more relaxed and calm dog? We can go to the park and read a nice book together! I am a recently graduated college student waiting to start my Masters program so my days are vastly open! I would love to fill my days with your animals and helping out where I can! I am attentive to all animals and carefully read all care instructions left by owners. I am also very careful with the weather conditions as animals are more susceptible to heat and cold then we are!
About: I have taken care of many animals! From dogs to cats, even horses and goats. I have always had a pet and love to snuggle! I currently work full time. But have flexible days off so just reach out and let's see how we can work together to make your life easier owning a pet! I am happy to offer supervised yard time and walk your pets on leash if you would like! I will stick to your schedule, and what you prefer!
About: With 25 years of experience working with animals, including 20 years dedicated to animal welfare, I bring a lifetime of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to caring for your pets. I have extensive experience working with fearful and anxious animals and am certified as a Fear Free Handler. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable caring for exotic pets, including reptiles and birds, and understand that these animals often have very specific routines and care requirements. I’m highly experienced in administering medications, including injectable, oral, ear, and eye medications. You can feel confident knowing that your pet’s routine and medical needs will be handled with the same care and attention you would provide yourself. I also understand that taking care of your home while you’re away can be just as important as caring for your pets. Houseplant care is available, so you can come home to happy, healthy plants along with happy, well-cared-for pets. Most importantly, I know how much your pets mean to you—because my pets are my world, too. Nothing means more to me than giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and in loving hands. I do work full-time for an animal welfare organization, but caring for animals is more than just my job—it’s what I love. Your pets will always be a priority when they’re in my care. I’m able to schedule drop-in visits before and after my workday, as well as on my days off. I’m committed to working with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pets receive the attention, care, and companionship they need while you’re away, giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. The safety and well-being of your pets is always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for an animal in my home or visiting your home, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels so they feel safe and cared for. Caring for animals is something I’m deeply passionate about. I truly love every interaction I have with an animal—even if that interaction is simply sitting nearby and talking to them. I believe those little moments matter. Nothing brings me more joy than being surrounded by animals and having the opportunity to care for them. When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure, while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 398 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Opal City. 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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
