“Barb took care of my two cats for 4.5 days and slept over with them. I was so happy with her service. I felt so much more relaxed when she got there. My cats loved her and she got the best pictures of them she updates me with. When I came home and they very were happy not stressed like usual. She even cleaned the house! I would definitely recommend and rebook with her thank you so much Barb!!”

About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.

About: Hi! I have over 6 years of pet sitting experience through Rover and 3 years of professional dog daycare experience. I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine. I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with pets requiring extra care, including administering medications, insulin injections, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I’m also familiar with different breeds, temperaments, and behaviors, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with the same patience and care I’d give my own. I provide regular photo updates and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and give both you and your pets peace of mind! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: Hi! I'm Julia, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog. That included the senior years, so I'm well versed in the extra attention older pets need, from slower walks and joint care to keeping a steady routine. I'm also comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats, whether that's pills, liquids, or injections, and I'm happy to follow whatever regimen you have in place. After recently losing my dog, I've realized how much I miss having animals around, and I'd love to spend time with yours. I'll treat your pets like my own, with plenty of patience, affection, and regular updates so you can relax while you're away. A typical day for me: I work full time, Monday through Friday from 8 to 5, mostly from home. That means I'm around during the day and have some flexibility in the afternoons, so I can be available for midday check-ins, walks, or medication schedules. The exception is Thursdays, when I'm in the office all day in LA. I'm mainly looking for evening and weekend bookings, but I'm happy to talk through what your pet needs and see if we can make the timing work. My home: Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced backyard, so dogs have a secure space to stretch their legs, and there's a dog park right on site for extra playtime and socializing. The house stays locked at all times, and I have room for kennels if your pet needs a designated space to rest or feel secure.

I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor.

As a full time pet parent who is self employed and working from home, pet care fits naturally into my life. I am regularly available throughout the day to keep an eye on things, stick to feeding schedules, administer meds if needed, and make sure everyone gets plenty of attention My schedule and personal life is very flexible, I can easily cater care to whatever your pet needs—extra playtime, quiet companionship, strict routines, or just someone who understands that cats and dogs operate on their own mysterious timetables. Your pets get reliable, consistent care woven right into my everyday life. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always trust, safety, and respecting the space your pet already feels comfortable in.

I keep doors locked, double-check anything safety-related, and treat your home with the same respect I give my own. I move quietly, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet’s environment stays calm, clean, and consistent. My goal is simple: you come home to a safe house and a happy pet.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Parma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Parma is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 372 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Parma. 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 Parma. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
