“Caroline took great care of my cat for a month. I was worried, leaving Luna for so long, but there was no need for worry. Caroline contacted me right away if she had a question. She played with Luna each day, as well as taking care of her physical needs. I would highly recommend Caroline and will use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for pets belonging to family and friends and have always loved spending time with animals. I’m currently preparing to pursue Veterinary Technology at Blue Ridge Community College with the goal of becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I’m dependable, patient, observant, and detail-oriented, and I take following each pet’s individual routine seriously. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of updates so you know your pet is doing well. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for weekday and weekend walks and drop-in visits, including mornings and afternoons. I’m preparing to return to school for Veterinary Technology, so pet care fits naturally into my current routine and gives me the opportunity to spend more time working with animals. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets’ routines as consistent as possible. Before walks, I make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I’m careful with doors, gates, and surroundings. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s space and the home itself, provide fresh food and water as directed, and leave things tidy. I also send updates and photos and will contact you promptly if I notice anything unusual about your pet’s behavior or wellbeing.

“I did not had a ton of communication with Michelle during the time she had my cat but she was very responsive to my messages and honestly the best proof I have of how good care she did to my cat was his behavior. My cat is very anxious and he was so chill when I came back for him! His fur also was so shiny and soft. I could tell she brush him often.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, hermit crabs, and more. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and provide them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work as a swim coach currently so I’m looking for supplemental work, but I am decently flexible and can make time multiple times throughout the day to care for your animals! I am very responsible and understand that your pet is like an extension of family. I have two cats of my own & they are like my children. I pride myself in creating a safe, loving, & playful environment for your pet!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve looked after multiple dogs at once and know how to give each one the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I grew up with dogs and have my own golden doodle back home, who I miss dearly—so spending time with yours truly brings me joy. You can count on me to treat your pup like part of my own family! My schedule as a student is flexible, and I am always free in the evenings and on the weekends! I also have extended breaks that are perfect for long term pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I make sure they’re in a calm, supervised, and loving environment. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs or preferences. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel comfortable and secure, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

About: I grew up on a farm, I am familiar with caring for anything from a lizard to a horse. I have been a trusted pet sitter and walker for a few families for years. I have volunteered at vet clinics since I was in high school and am versed in dog CPR and have a background in dog training. I truly love all animals they have my heart and utmost care always. Any animal in my care will be left in luxury. As a pet owner myself I understand the need to know your loved one is left in good hands. I am flexible, so please feel free to reach out with any questions! I am a personal trainer in the Charlottesville area and have a flexible schedule. This is perfect for allowing me to take breaks even throughout a normal work day to take ample care of your fur babies. It is your fur baby so I will follow whatever routine you guys have set for your household. My goal is to make them feel like they are on vacation too!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Owensville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Owensville is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $15 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 147 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Owensville. 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 Owensville. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
