“Savannah did a wonderful job staying with my very shy boy, Wall-E! In the past, I’d hired someone to stop by to feed him, which left him really anxious about me being gone. Wall-E was happy and playful when I returned this time. I’ll totally hire Savannah again the next time I travel.”

About: I have had pets most of my life since I was a small child. I have a deep bond with animals and love getting to know their individual personalities and having a great time playing together. I am currently working part time on my own schedule so I have a great deal flexibility to come play with your pets and provide them with my undivided attention! I provide care specifically based on each individual client’s requests and unique needs. Please let me know your preferences, needs and concerns. Thank you!

About: What sets me apart is the calm, cat-focused home environment I provide, combined with over 6 years of hands-on cat care experience. I specialize in creating a low-stress, clean, and structured space where cats can feel safe and comfortable, whether they are playful, shy, or senior cats needing extra patience. I pay close attention to each cat’s individual needs and routines, from feeding and enrichment to litter box hygiene and daily observation of behavior. I’m also experienced in giving gentle care and medication support when needed, always prioritizing the cat’s comfort and emotional well-being. Most importantly, I treat every cat like family—offering consistent affection, one-on-one attention, and a peaceful home environment designed to help them relax and feel secure while their owners are away. I work part-time and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine, including feeding, playtime, litter maintenance, and regular check-ins. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give pets the attention, companionship, and supervision they need. My home is designed to be a safe and secure environment for pets. It has multiple layers of doors, a fully fenced yard, and security cameras at the front for added safety. All doors are kept closed at all times to prevent any chance of escape. I also have a calm, controlled indoor space with no dogs, no children, and a clean, structured setup for cats. I prioritize trust, safety, and routine—ensuring every pet feels secure, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Each cat is carefully monitored, and I maintain a quiet, stress-free environment where they can relax and feel at home.

“Brynn (Ash) came through for me in a pinch. Thank you! Another caretaker that I lined up via Rover canceled on me during the first day of my trip at a point where I was already miles away in another state. In a panic I searched for someone else and Brynn wasn’t just willing to help, they were willing to head over to my home to check-in on my cat 10 minutes after we had finalized arrangements! Communication was easy, clear, and consistent. I will absolutely looking for their support again when I have to travel and leave my elderly cat at home!”

About: I have taken care of animals off and on since I was 11 I have been relied on to feed and walk animals or just supervise and let them roam. I have been taking care of my cats for about 3 years now and am a bather and dog trainer (positive reinforcement) and have gone through training at work for both. I would be working before or after my full time job or on my off days. Most evenings I can do after 5:30, I have full availability on Thurs/Fri, and limited morning availability. Unfortunately I cannot board at this time nor can I do overnight stays. I would play, feed, and chillax with the pet and just be a companion whilst also being strict when necessary. If it’s an older dog I can sit and play or just relax witg them, petting and cuddling. For younger more energetic I can either play inside or go to a park or field and let them run while paying attention so they don’t run off. I do have training as a trainer and bather so I can help with those areas as well. I currently have cats and have them on regular feeding schedules and will play when they want but we mostly cuddle and relax together.

About: Hey Hey! I am Rocky, you fur childs favorite nanny! I have a background in veterinary medicince, with five years of nursing experience. Although I stepped away from the medical field, I continued to care for beloved furry companions. Previously, I operated my own pet sitting business in Sacramento, called Pawnda Care, but have taken a hiatus while I settle to this new area. In Sacramento, I had long-standing clients, averaging over five years. Now, I'm eager to build a wonderful clientele and create a family of furry nieces and nephews! I currently work as a CR at a VET ER, craft and sell my work at local craft markets. Spending my days binge watching shows with my fur babies and crafts. Pet Care Availability I can accommodate pet care on my days off, which are Wednesday through Saturday. I work three 10-hour shifts each week, so I can offer brief drop-in visits on those days, but they will be late in the evening. Ideally, the four days I can cover are the ones mentioned. I take great pride in ensuring your pets are both safe and cherished while you're away. I make certain that your home remains secure, inform you of any behavioral or health changes, and provide them with clean water and fresh food, and administer medications. I will bring the mail in, water indoor and outdoor plants, and am happy to discuss any other tasks you may require.

About: When I adopted my first dog he was incredibly nervous around people he is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.

About: Hi there! My name is Abby, and I’m a lifelong animal owner & lover- excited to care for your furry friends. I have a special connection with animals, which started early in life and continues with my beloved cat, Winston, who keeps my days full of joy. In addition to my love for animals, I have hands-on experience with grooming and bathing pets. I know how important it is for animals to feel clean and comfortable, and I’m confident in handling even the most hesitant pets with patience and care. As a dedicated and reliable pet caretaker, I understand that every pet is unique. Whether it’s playtime, walks, grooming, or cuddles, I adapt to their specific needs to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I also pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, and routines to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be in safe, loving hands with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! Even with a full-time 9-to-5 job, I make it a priority to provide attentive and flexible care for your pets. I can stop by in the mornings before work for feeding, walks, or check-ins to ensure your pet starts their day off right. During my lunch break, I can swing by to give them some extra attention, a potty break, or a quick cuddle session. In the evenings, I’ll spend quality time with them to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and ready for a restful night. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priorities, and I’ll always communicate updates to keep you in the loop. Let me know how I can work around your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I adhere to rules set by owners while at their homes and am respectful of their house and animal(s). I prioritize understanding their pets unique needs and routines to provide personalized, loving care. Here’s what I offer: • Walks: I’ll ensure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their energy level, whether it’s a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll to sniff around. • Grooming: Light grooming like brushing, wiping paws, or cleaning up after them to keep them feeling fresh and comfortable. I can also provide full baths to keep your pet looking and feeling clean. • Drop-ins: Flexible visits tailored to your pet’s schedule, including feeding, water refills, litter box cleaning, or potty breaks. • Cuddles and Comfort: I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality—whether they’re independent or love being showered with attention. • Playtime: Engaging activities to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated. I’ll bring toys or use their favorites to ensure they’re entertained. • Photo and Text Updates: I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how happy and well-cared-for your pet is. • Special Needs: For pets with unique requirements, like medications, special diets, or anxiety, I’ll follow your instructions carefully to provide them with the best care possible. • Emergency Preparedness: I’ll ensure your pet’s safety and well-being, keeping emergency contacts and their vet information on hand if needed. Every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours happiest to provide attentive and compassionate care. Let me know what else I can do to make them feel at home while you’re away!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, so I am very used to their behavior and I absolutely love being around them! I’ve dealt with senior dogs as well as puppies, so nothing will surprise me😂 I am currently a student, and I have many open hours that I am free to take care of your pet! I am free most nights to house sit as well. I have two dogs of my own and a cat so I am very used to having pets around!! If need be, I have experience putting pets into crates and administering medicine.

About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”

Kait was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She took such loving, attentive care of Mira over Christmas, which gave me so much peace of mind during the holidays. Kait was reliable, communicative, and clearly very experienced with cats. She sent thoughtful updates and made sure Mira was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It’s clear Kait genuinely cares about the pets she watches, not just checking boxes but really spending quality time with them. I came home to a calm, content cat, which says everything. I would 100% book Kait again and feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Kait, for taking such great care of Mira!

Emmalene genuinely saved my cat’s life. There was a fire in our home while we were out of town and thankfully she arrived for a drop-in visit before it was too late. She called the fire department and made sure Kitty got out safe. She took Kitty home with her and took care of her like she was her own cat until I could get back the next day. I cannot speak highly enough of Emmalene and her above and beyond care; even after such a traumatic experience, I could tell Kitty felt so comfortable and safe staying with her. I cannot thank her enough for saving my cat’s life.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Penngrove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Penngrove is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 1,054 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Penngrove. 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 Penngrove. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
