About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
“I am a travel, nurse and I’m in town for 13 weeks. Contacted and met Catherine who is an absolute delight! My Remi really likes her. definitely look forward to using her again.”

“This was my first time using Rover & so I really had no idea what to expect. Haley set up a time to meet me & my dogs before we left for vacation which worked out so well. My dogs were familiar with her when she came the first time, and by the end of the week they clearly loved her! My dogs had a couple issues during the week, and Haley was a trooper and not phased one bit. I would definitely recommend her for your pets!”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle care. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and know the importance of providing comfort, attention, and a calm environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and happy in my care. I have been caring for a variety of pets for friends and family for many years. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable pet care. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I care for pets by closely following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules are followed exactly, fresh water is always available, and litter boxes or potty areas are kept clean. I provide regular playtime, exercise, and companionship so pets feel engaged and not lonely while their owner is away. For cats, I focus on a calm environment, respecting their space while also giving attention, brushing if needed, and interactive play when they’re comfortable. I monitor their behavior and well-being closely to notice any changes in appetite, mood, or health. If medication is required, I administer it carefully according to instructions. I also keep the home tidy, respect house rules, and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I send updates to pet owners so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away.
About: I've been around animals my whole life from owning them to caring for others animals. Patient, good with senior animals, loves all animals, and flexible with plenty of available hours. I am typically available during college breaks such as summer and holidays. most often available for over night watches but can also do drop in visits and walks!! I house sit and walk your pets from your home so that they are in a safe and familiar environment. I'm detail oriented and will follow any specific guidelines or requests you have for your pets thoroughly.
About: When I was 9 until about 15 I lived in an apartment complex and I would walk all of my neighbors dogs after school and feed them their dinners. I am CPR certified and first aid trained. At my last job we take care of seniors and puppies on a daily basis. I have a senior dog myself. I took care of my grandfathers diabetic dog for 5 years before he passed and gave him his insulin shot daily. I used to administer medication daily to dogs at work and continue to my own. My current job is Lead at Cincinnati Animal Care. I currently work at Cincinnati Animal Care 40 hours a week. However I’m able to work around whatever is needed! If booked in advance I am able to work from home as well! At my home I have a fenced in yard with four playmates who are always ready to have friends over! I also have two kids who love when I bring pets home! If I’m caring for your pet at your home I will follow your instructions and give your pet as much love and care as I can in our time together!
About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby. I will work with aggressive dogs to a certain extent, with an increase in price. I currently work at a dog boarding facility! Book any day, any time (we can always adjust the times in conversation!) I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your loving pup! <3 I am always respectful and thoughtful. Animals are my FAVORITE in the world, they bring me so much happiness each and every day! They’re just so cute 🥹

“Kayla is fantastic with our dogs. She is reliable, communicative, punctual, polite, honest, and cares deeply about making sure everything is just right with our “girls”. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring sitter. Kayla is a gem, we love her and our dogs do too.”

“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”

“Katelyn was fantastic with our dogs! She graciously accepted our request on very short notice, and came over to meet them before checking in on them later. She gave updates with pictures and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. My family used to breed AKC Collie’s, owning 2 collies in total. Once I moved to college, I couldn’t have a collie where I lived so I got a Sheltie. He’s been with me ever since, though his “time” is approaching. (Passed away 4/6/2021) I’ve dog sat for several friends. I teach therefore summers off means a lot of availability for me to care for your dog! I’m no professional but I’m good with training and very patient with dogs. My sheltie was house broken in 6 months and knew all the basic commands. I have so much fun with dogs and have children to play with them too! Dogs must be good with other dogs and with children. I look forward to meeting your dog or dogs! I care a lot about animals! I do offer services year round, however, June through August are my peak times. I teach, therefore September through May are harder for me to care for other’s pets during the week. It can be done, but it is more difficult, as the pets will be cooped up from 7-3:30. I am always available on weekends! I offer discounts for repeat clients. Discount applied after booking. I am a teacher, therefore I primarily take on clients during the summer and on weekends. During the week is not out of question, just know they will be alone (must bring crate due to no supervision) from about 7 until 3/3:30 during the months school is in session. June through mid August, I am home except occasional errands and will be available for frequent potty breaks! I have a fenced in yard for your dog(s) to run around! I do have gentle giant (Great Dane) who loves to play. He can be intimidating, but he’s so sweet and just wants to play. Disclaimer- he drools a lot. I can keep your pet clean, though! I also have a Boston Terrier named Ellie. She is a very special story and although I picked her up as a 6 month old pup in 2012, we have been apart for 10 years and she’s back where she belongs. <3 If I come to your home for services, I am very professional and will be sure to follow your steps completely. I might sometimes need to bring my children with me, depending on the day.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for two dogs and a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and excited to build experience as a Rover sitter while treating every pet like family. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat! I feed them breakfast and lunch every day as well as a little snack before bed time! I let them out to use the potty every hour or so to make sure they are always comfortable! I like to take my dogs on a walk around the neighborhood every day if not every other day! I also tend to take them to vet visits and grooming visits! Along with an occasional adventure to the dog park! I can easily crate your dogs or cats if needed! I also have many collars and leashes of all sizes, comfortable for all types of dogs and cats. I always have a few treats in my back pocket any time I sit animals to ensure I reward them for good behavior! I also like to keep puppy pads, poop bags, transportable water bowls, flashlights, puppy wipes, ect. To ensure your animals needs are always being maintained!
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Laura, and caring for animals has been a passion of mine for over 10 years. I have experience with many different kinds of animals and personalities, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet I care for feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality so they feel relaxed and happy while in my care. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. With more than a decade of experience caring for animals, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. References are available upon request, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I currently work part-time, so I have quite a bit flexibility to accommodate different schedules. This includes early morning, late nights and weekends. I am available for drop ins/walks as well as pet sitting overnight. I am very thorough when following instructions for individual pets at your home. I will always put their safety first and make sure they are secure in my care.
About: I walk the dogs at the animal shelter when I have extra time. I have done this on and off for about 3 years when I can. I work part time night shift and I’m in school 3 or 4 mornings a week, but I often have time in the afternoons and weekends. I have grown up with dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and 1 large dog at home and have always loved the company of animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 920 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Petersburg. 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 Petersburg. On Rover:
- 96% 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.
