“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!”
“Maria was considerate, thorough, and asked all the right questions when looking after Midi, our 13-yo girl with some health stuff. We returned home to a happy cat and a clean, tidy house. Thank you, Maria!!”
“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 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.”
“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
“Love working with Crissy. She’s dedicated and dependable. This is our third time working together and definitely will not be the last. I have another trip planned and Crissy and I already discussed it. Thank you Crissy for all that you do. Martin”
“Tabatha took care of my two cats when we’re out of town. She’s very communicative and accommodating to our cats’ needs. She sends rover cards with pictures! I definitely recommend her Rover services, specifically cat drop-in visits.”
“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”
“Meghan was very kind, attentive, and communicative with the first drop in visit with Junie. Junie took a little bit to warm up, but Meghan was patient and used her knowledge to help ease the situation. Junie got comfortable with Meghan and overall, I was very pleased.”
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.
About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 14. In the pass 8 years I have acquired paid experience. I have and still volunteer at local animal shelters when time permits. Most of my experience has been with fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I also have experience in medication administration. I currently work part-time so my schedule is flexible especially for drop in visits. My weekends are limited but weekdays are open with more flexibility. I like to follow owners instructions on caring for their pet in their environment. I will never place your pet in a dangerous situation. I will make sure all safety gates are in place and keep harmful materials away from your pet.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my house since before I could walk and have been actively caring for them for nearly as long. I have two cats of my own now, 5 and 4, (my dog, almost 20, recently passed) that are my pride and joy. Caring for animals has been a staple of my life; I can’t wait to meet your babies and give them the best care too! I have a bit of a variable schedule between part time work as a barista, but for sitting stays I would never be away for more than 8 hours in any given day. I take college classes online but that can be done anywhere that I can access the internet, meaning I can be with your fur baby for more quality time! I have two cats of my own that I feed a mixed diet of wet and dry food twice a day, so I know attention to detail is a priority when caring for your fur baby! With that said, I can have my roommate feed my boys while I’m on overnight jobs, meaning I have more time to provide top quality care for your fur baby.

We have hired Britney many a times to take care of our 3 cats and snake. She is always so thorough in taking care of them and with the report cards for each animal. She flawlessly gives our senior cat his daily meds and makes sure to put eyes on our one cat who does not like to be seen. Britney is the best!
This is the second time that Kelly has taken care of my cats. She is very professional, kind, and compassionate with my little trouble makers! The cats remembered her from the first visit and they enjoyed her company. While I think Kelly is great, what really matters is what our furry four legged kids think.
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!
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!
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!

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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
