About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. From little terriers to labs, I’ve learned how to best take care of dogs to meet their needs. I’m here to help in anyway I can! I work full-time, but my evenings and weekends are free to help care for your pets. I’m available weekdays after 3 pm and can be flexible with weekends! When caring for your pet their safety and wellbeing are my biggest priority. You can always expect that I will follow all instructions and guidance given to me. If caring for your pets takes place in your home you can trust that I will be respectful of your space.

“I asked Ashely to care for my cats while I was away, and she was fantastic from start to finish. She arrived right on time, which gave me total peace of mind before my trip. Her communication was excellent — she sent regular updates, photos, and even let me know little details about how my cats were doing each day. Most importantly, my cats absolutely adored her! They’re usually a tiny bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to her immediately and seemed happy and relaxed the whole time. Knowing they were in such caring hands made my trip so much less stressful. Thank you so much!”

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!

About: My ability to love animals is a gift that I want to share with others. I have had a dog, hamster, ducks and a cat and all are the most happy animals I have met. I go above and beyond to make them all comfortable and feel loved! I currently am blessed to have a senior lab, Cokie! She is truly my soul dog and my best friend. I take care of her everyday. I also help with my neighbors, family and friends pets! I respect the household of others, if you give me rules they will be followed. Along with basic common sense of what is/isn’t ok in someone else’s home. When I have a pet over to my house, they are respected and treated just like a human guest

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Orilla

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Orilla. 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 .

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 , 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.
