“Crissy did a fantastic job taking care of my three cats oobie, goose, & bug while I was away. She provided detailed updates to ease my worries while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her (:”
“Jackie was fabulous as always. Always right on time or early and my cats were SO happy every time she came over! You can’t go wrong booking with her, especially during the stressful holiday season.”
“Stephanie did a great job watching Jax. She was able to come on short notice and kept me updated even with concerns involving my home. I loved all the pictures she took that showed me he was enjoying himself while in her care. I would definitely use her again for future needs.”
“Needed Denise at the last minute. She not agreed but gave my baby all the loving care as always. The pix she sent shows how relaxed my Hillary is with her. Gives the best pets ever!”
About: Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a lifelong love for animals. Caring for them has always come naturally to me. I'm kind, patient, attentive, and dependable, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet with the same love, care, and respect I'd give my own. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m a college student who works part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. During the summer, I have open availability, and throughout the school year I carefully plan my time to make sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. I keep my Rover calendar updated and will always communicate clearly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide attentive, reliable care in the comfort of your pet's own home, where they will always be supervised and treated like family. I carefully follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I keep fresh water available at all times, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Our pup took to Zana immediately. Zana is naturally at ease around him and interacts with him in a sweet manner. This was our first visit since the meet and greet. Looking forward to booking Zana again.”
“Catherine made my first experience with this service a great one! I was so nervous and she made me feel at ease. My dog can be highly anxious but did well with Catherine. Also, this booking was last minute so Catherine was truly a life saver. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“We were away for six days and felt so comfortable leaving our Siamese cat, Gus, with Michelle. Gus has a lot of personality and usually doesn't like many people, but Michelle truly had the magic touch! He was completely at ease and so cuddly with her. She was great at communicating and we loved getting all the photo updates. We will definitely book her again!”
“Lisa is so great with my cat. She drops in twice/day, and sends me loads of pictures. This is the 3rd time I’ve hired Lisa and will definitely be reaching out to her again! She even brought Bella some toys to play with and let me know of a possible health concern. She is reliable and thoughtful - you won’t be disappointed!”
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
“Repeat client here! Heather is wonderful and attentive and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs. She sent daily updates and treated my pups like family. Thanks so much for another great experience!”
“We adore JJ! They take care of all our small animals when we go away and they do such a spectacular job 😁 They are very responsive, send awesome pictures, and take really great care of our babies!”
About: I love animals with all my heart. I aim to treat each pet as one of my own to be comfortable home! I will give special love and care to each pet! I am a stay at home mom, I have 2 children so I can do visits. I have loads of time to spend with doggy’s in my home! I have been watching pets for over 10 years in my home and others home. For house sitting, I can go over multiple times a day but cannot stay overnight because I have children. For boarding meet and greet needs to be scheduled before the date of stay to make sure it is a good fit. I strive for the utmost safety of each pet in our home! I have a large fenced back yard, provide treats and toys. I also have 4 crates if your dog needs to be crated at night or I also provide dog beds if they prefer that! It’s all about what you prefer for your pet! I want them as comfortable as possible.
About: I have experience taking care of a border collie, Australian Shepard, and a German Shepard. I enjoy walking around the city and always open to a companion or two joining me. I am able to host dogs at my place, with my German Shepard. I have a fully fenced in yard that all dogs can play in, and I can walk them around my neighborhood. I am also able to do drop in visits for dogs or cats and stop by to walk any dogs. I normally travel for work 3 days a week. When not traveling I am either working from home or have local visits. I plan out my visits so that any pets staying with me will not go longer than 4 hours alone. I will allow all dogs to roam freely while I’m at home and take a break to play with them, and my dog, for about 10 minutes every hour. It gets boring sitting in front of a computer. For any walks or drop ins the time is spent making sure they get plenty of stimulation. Whether it’s walking a new route or playing in the yard I have a fenced in back yard. No other dogs or animals get in the yard, except a squirrel or two. When walking in my neighborhood there is minimal traffic since it has no way for cars to go through it( a lot of dead end streets). I’m close to 695 so if an emergency happens I can get to many vets in the area fast.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Parkville is $20

We booked Kelly to watch our 4 kitties and I’m so happy we did. Not only did she take a lot of pictures and give us a thorough description of their day but she also was able to give them their medication with no issues. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in good hands. Thank you Kelly!
Michelle was absolutely amazing for my cat while we were out of town on vacation! She is attentive, kind, and clearly cares a lot about animals. The peace of mind I get just from knowing my boy was well taken care of while I can’t be with him is priceless to me. 10/10 would recommend!
We are extremely grateful for the wonderful loving care Elsie showed our two cats. We have a senior cat that does much better with attention and love. Upon arriving home we could tell he had received both! She handled everything we asked her to do and more. We will definitely use her services again.
I was glad to have Dalton look after a cat............LOL. But I felt stress-free and had a peaceful time. My camera would alert me when someone entered my unit, and I had no reason to check and have pictures sent. Dyson is a strange cat when I'm ready to leave town. Dalton is a GREAT backup. Thanks Dalton
This is our second time with Jen. It was such a relief having a reliable person take care of our cats while we were away for a week. We appreciated all the communication and pictures. She even got to know our cats quirky personalities and preferences! We will definitely be booking again.
She was so caring and kind to Watermelon. I had a problem with ants and she came up with a good solution of moving her food/water bowls. She even swept up around the litter box to keep her area clean. She sent videos and pictures daily (which were better than the ones I take). Gave me a daily report card and if they had activity time together. Once she left she would notify me so I could turn on my security. All in all, an excellent sitter and highly recommended. I would definitely use her in the future. Thanks Lisa!!!!
Jenna is my girl! After each visit, I have more and more pictures for my cat's modeling book. She's also super flexible with schedule changes - I've had to come back early from trips on two occasions and she has been patient, understanding, and super accommodating.
Stephanie should be a professional pet photographer. The pics she sent us were great! Our older guy also needs meds now and she did great making sure he took them since he sometimes resists. She was very sweet to our cats and took great care of them. Will be working with Stephanie again in the future!
This is my second time hiring Britney to watch our 3 cats and boa, and she was amazing once again! She’s clearly taken the time and patience to build trust with our cats, which means so much to us because they can be shy with new people. Shes also excellent at giving meds to our senior cat. It gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
