About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have about 8 years of hands on pet care experience! I have three dogs of my own and have cared for pets belonging to family and friends, as well as other families. I have experience mainly caring for dogs but also experience with cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, including feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, cleaning cages and litter boxes, walking, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for both young and senior animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get all the care, attention, and cuddles they deserve! I’m currently a college student and am not working another job, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I have classes on Mondays from 9:05–11:30 AM, Wednesdays from 9:05 AM–12:00 PM, and Fridays from 9:05 AM–2:15 PM. I’m available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as outside of my class hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (and weekends). I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I always follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every pet receives plenty of love and supervision. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, giving medications, and caring for pets of different ages and needs. I’m happy to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide updates and photos, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is in responsible and loving hands!

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up on a farm loving animals. I currently have two dogs myself and just love the opportunity to make a pet’s day part of my day. I do work a full time job currently but have plenty of time in the evening to drop in on your pet. Eventually, I’m hoping to make this more of a full time schedule. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I’m happy to let them out, take them for walks, spend time for snuggles or play and even feed them a meal if necessary.

About: I was involved in my school with JROTC, JMG, and Tennis. I love all types of animals big or small and I will also take care of any scaly and or slimy family members as well. I am currently working at Prairie Meadows Race Track and Casino as a security officer for the race horses. Animals are not pets they are Family members and my job and goal is to make sure every one of your family members is taken care of and I will treat them as if they are my own. I have two cats and two chinchills; Elly, Miso, Theseus, and Toronto. I hope you trust me to walk your dog, or dog and cat sit while you take a well deserved vacation. I can work any time any day before 1pm Saturday to Thursday and all day Friday! I currently work in Altoona for my full time job but depening on where you live my availability won't matter so feel free to reach out. If you (my future client) wants me to take your furry baby out for the day I can certainly do that! I drive a Kia Soul so I can comfortably fit 2-3 large dogs in my car and my current apartment complex has a large dog park the size of a tennis court and if there's a dog another resident or I bring in that isn't dog friendly we can put up a barrier so they can't see each other. Or if you would rather I bring your baby to your local park I will gladly do that as well.

“We are so thankful for Lucy! She was available last minute to check in on our golden retriever while we were out of town. Lucy went above and beyond for a simple drop in visit - walking Saylor around to explore/potty, feeding her dinner (even her pre-dinner trick ritual haha), giving her plenty of water breaks, playing with her inside too, etc. This was our first Rover experience and we are so glad it was with Lucy, the peace of mind is priceless. We 1000% recommend her and will be requesting her next time!”

About: I am a veterinary student at ISU with experience pet sitting, caring for shelter animals, and clinical care. I am comfortable caring for pets with special diets and administration of oral medicine. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, and I have flexibility in caring for pets of varying activity levels. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have school on weekdays, but I'm available for walks during the lunch hours from 11am - 1pm. I'm also available after 5pm Monday - Friday and have full availability on weekends. Your pet's comfort is my number one concern so I have no problem coming to you or taking your pet to their favorite park. I'm comfortable walking larger dogs that pull the leash and explore or older dogs with limited mobility. My dog has a vestibular issue, so I'm experienced lifting pets to help them up and down stairs and getting into cars. I'm also experienced giving oral medication, clipping/shaving nails, and bathing.

Carmen is a reliable sitter. She has become close with our cats. Even the shy cat has started to come out to play! It's great to know we have an awesome sitter that cares about our pets and spends time with them.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Orilla

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 152 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 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 Orilla. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
