“Crissy was outstanding and did an excellent job of caring for my dog while I was away for the weekend. She went above and beyond to assure my pup was comfortable and engaged. My dog is a a rescue pup and trust takes time and Crissy certainly earned it from me and my pup! Thank you immensely!”
“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.”
“Catherine was wonderful with our pups! She was attentive, very communicative, and made sure all their needs were met and more. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Jackie took care of our two kitties while we were gone for three days. I had never hired a pet sitter before as I had always relied on family or friends. I was so worried about having to get someone that was unfamiliar to the kitties. I could not be happier with the results. Jackie came over for a meet-and-greet and the kitties loved her right away. That really put my mind at ease. She did a fantastic job with them. We received pictures from every visit and I could tell that they were happy and well treated. She played with them and made sure that they were brushed every day. She had that "certain touch" and I could tell that the kitties enjoyed her company. Upon our arrival home they looked great and were very happy. I would definitely recommend her and I already have plans to have her sit for us in the future. ”
“Lisa was great with my cat! She did a very thorough meet and greet a few days before the booking. She spent lots of time with my cat and sent me great pictures of him which really helped me to know he was feeling comfortable with her and that he was getting some love while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with animals, having raised four dogs and three cats. I know how to keep pets safe, active, and happy. Whether walking your dog or visiting your cat, I will strictly follow your schedule and give them plenty of love! During the summer, my schedule is highly flexible. I am completely available for morning and evening walks or visits on weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends. I have plenty of free time to focus entirely on your pets and keep them happy! When visiting your home, safety is my top priority. I can carefully feed your pets, clean litter boxes, and provide safe walks. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed. I always strictly follow your instructions to keep your pets healthy and happy
“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.”
“Heather has been walking my various pups for a number of years, and as always - was reliable, friendly with both us and our canine kiddos, and very responsive to both our questions, and to adapting to the moods that our pups might be in and their needs. I highly recommend Heather!”
“Michelle was an amazing caretaker! We had to be away from home for a long time, and she visited our two cats everyday! I don't know what we would do if not for her care. She was on time every visit, very good with the cats and her reports and pictures! She was also great to deal with any other issues that emerged over our long absence, couldn't recommend her more! You can entrust your pets to Michelle without any worry!”
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.
About: I have worked with all sizes of dogs and have worked with multiple pets at a time for the past 10 years. I am available to stay overnight and am available for walks and drop in visits on my work from home days. I absolutely adore senior dogs and rescues as those have been the dogs that have personally come into my life but I love them all :) I absolutely love every aspect of working with animals and work very hard to communicate with you about your expectations of care for your dog. I also always make sure to send photos and texts giving you updates about how your dog is doing while you're away! I really just enjoy spending time with your pets and if you have a dog that loves going places I always love to take them out and about. If needed, I am also comfortable with administering medications for your pets. In my client's home I respect the rules of their home. It's my place to make sure your pets are taken care of the way that you want! So whatever are their normal routines and rules is what I strive to follow. I especially love if part of their normal routine is treat giving! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays making me available for walks and drop in, I am also off work every other Friday and my schedule is fairly flexible! I find it really important to follow the rules and manners set by the pet parents. I have personally raised rescues with unclear pasts so am also very aware of how to socialize dogs appropriately and respect their boundaries so they feel safe and I can earn their trust.
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
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
Jenna is such an amazing pet sitter ! My older cat has diabetes and needs daily insulin shots and he has mobility issues. While I was away, I had complete confidence in her taking care of my cat’s medication needs. She is so compassionate! My cat isn’t always comfortable with pet sitters but he is ALWAYS comfortable with Jenna! She’s the best!
Laura is our go-to cat sitter whenever we travel, and we trust her completely. During our longest trip yet, she saved the day when the upstairs AC broke by quickly moving his food, water, and litter to a cooler floor. She showered our cat with love and attention, and we couldn't recommend her more!
Kelly is a fantastic pet sitter. She took such good care of my girls (cats). She got my scaredy cat to take to her right away and spend time out of her hiding places when I am away (a huge win). She got both the playful and love-bug sides of my other girl and catered to both. I will forever be booking with Kelly in the future. She leaves detailed notes, lots of pictures, and communicates very well. She is fantastic. I would recommend her to anyone! You won't be disappointed!
Stacey took great care of our cats and I will definitely use her again the the future. She even reached out to ask about where the broom is kept when the litter mess outside of the box got out of hand, which shows how thorough she is that she goes above and beyond.
Jen was an amazing cat sitter for my two cats Patty and Norman! She watched them for over a week and gave me many updates, went over and above with communication, care, and even cleaning! I would recommend Jen to anybody looking for a reliable cat sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.
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
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!!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Parkville on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 2,482 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Parkville. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkville. On Rover:

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.
