About: My mother used to bred dogs & have multiple horses and goats. I was always involved in the animal care & never skipped a chance to get some snuggles! I currently have a pittie whom has been with me for the past 8 years. I work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My work schedule is super flexible, so I’m available at call! I have a large yard that my friendly pittie loves to get her zoomies out in! I also have a kennel if needed/preferred for your baby!

About: I have doggy-sat many friends as a child, and stopped once I entered university. Most of these friends were small to medium sized but I am happy to care for larger ones! I can also help administer medications if needed. Tail wags are the aim for every visit! I am a recent graduate looking for work so I have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies! Happy to take early or evening walks and house visits. I like to play with pets or just cuddle if that’s more their vibe. Love giving enrichment toys so they aren’t bored and of course treats to all the good boys and girls!

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been around pets my entire life. Growing up, I cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs. For the past four years, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My work has taught me how to provide safe, attentive care, recognize pet behaviors, and ensure dogs are comfortable and happy while away from their owners. In addition to my professional experience, I have also dog sat for family and friends, giving me experience with in-home pet care and maintaining pets' daily routines. I am passionate about animals and committed to providing loving, reliable care so pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for three dogs and four cats of my own, so my days revolve around feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, exercise, playtime, and making sure all of my pets are healthy, comfortable, and happy. Caring for multiple pets has helped me become organized, attentive, and comfortable managing different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, for the past four years. My job has given me valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am responsible for monitoring their behavior, ensuring their safety, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs and cats, as well as caring for other animals such as hamsters and guinea pigs, pet care has always been a significant part of my life. Because animals are already part of both my personal and professional routine, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, loving care and maintain a pet's regular schedule while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, ensuring they get appropriate exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. As the owner of three dogs and four cats, I am experienced in managing daily pet care tasks such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and recognizing when something may be out of the ordinary. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner. My four years of experience working at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, have given me additional experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I strive to create a safe, clean, and positive environment while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind that their pets are receiving quality care.

About: To me, our pets are like family. They deserve to have the best care available since they are dependent on us to provide for them. I enjoy spending time with animals and will follow their routines so they feel comfortable and safe. I am a detail-oriented person — I will make sure your pets are cared for according to your directions, with a lot of cuddles sprinkled in (if they are snugglers). I am a freelance writer, semi-retired, so I have a lot of time on my hands to devote to animals in my care. I enjoy playing fetch or tug-of-war or providing whatever other stimulation your pet needs. For those who prefer to be alone or sleep all day, I'll respect their space and keep watch from a distance. I try to follow the routines of the pet parents, so the pets have some consistency while their family is away. That's also why I prefer to stay in the home, so they are in a place they already know and feel comfortable with. I feed at the designated times and am vigilant about potty breaks or cleaning litter boxes, taking walks or whatever else the pet does in the course of a typical day. I don't give table food or snacks to pets, and I will handle any type of emergency per your instructions. I love to take pictures and videos of your pets throughout the day and will send them to you, so you know your babies are doing great. I don't mind running errands or collecting the mail and other small tasks that may be needed while you are away.

About: A recent graduate of Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine with a bachelor's in Veterinary Medical Technology! I have had pets all my life and have gained experience while in school and through volunteering, and now through currently working at a local vet office as a technician. I also have experience in pet sitting at owner's houses and through repeat clientele for pet sitting and walking. I would love to gain additional experience through pet sitting/walking. I recently graduated from the Vet Tech program at MSU and currently work at a local vet office, so this allows me to take care of pets full time on the weekends! I can also do late afternoon walks or drop ins during the weekdays after work! With experience in pet sitting and walking, I’m ready to keep your fur baby entertained or, if they prefer, just relax and give them cuddles!

About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Located in Petal, near the Library area 😊 Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in covered fence backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was abt 10 y/o. Various sizes—toy poodle & border collie. Both hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently not working but I have a fair amount of medical appts and infusion appts. I would be st your house before & after my appts. If you selected staying overnight I would do that. I will care for your pet in your home-their natural environment. Home = safety! Their toys, their cozy spots, their food and water bowls, their yards (if an outdoor cat), etc

About: I’ve had dogs since before I could walk, and I’ve been around them my entire life. I have experience with all sized and tempered dogs, cats of different ages and even birds and farm animals. If there was a sitter to gush over your pet, it’s me! I work from home so I’m available any time. I will keep my schedule regularly updated. Let’s chat about what I can do for you and your fur baby! In my household I have one small dog named Rosie. She is free fed, we take a daily walk and she goes outside to potty or relax about 5/6 times a day. I really aim to focus on what each particular pet needs and enjoys to make sure they’re in the best care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Petal. 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
