About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.

If you have any questions or concerns I will be more than happy to address it, just shoot me a message an I'll get back to you within 24-48hrs It's something that I have always wanted to do, and I am willing to rearrange and schedule pet care and walking as needed for my client's pets. In my own home, I make sure that my cats are well fed, exercised, groomed, and up to date on their routine vet visits and vaccines to ensure they are healthy and happy. In my client's home, I make sure that the animal is comfortable with me in any and all situations. I ensure that they are also fed, given medications if needed, exercised, and loved all in a visit.

“This was our second time having Britany watch our kittens. She is an amazing young lady. She treats our four cats as if they are her own. They all have such different personalities and yet she makes sure to spend time with each one to ensure they get what they need. She takes pictures and sends notes to me, so I know how they are all doing. Britany is prompt, responsible and so caring. We appreciate all she does while she watches over our fur babies. Thank you again Britany!”

About: I’ve grown up with a plethora of animals. I’ve wanted to volunteer at the humane society since i was young. I worked at pet land as a kennel tech for roughly 6 months and owned ferrets, birds, cats, and dogs. I’m currently a senior in high school saving up for college: I get out early from school and entirely free from weekends. During the week evening visits are all i’d be available for. Weekends whenever is needed. I have experienced with all kinds of animals. Troublesome dogs to cats, even ferrets and birds. So any accommodation of worry that you need i can handle.

About: I have a great deal of passion for training dogs and horses. I think it's valuable to be consistent and patient when teaching animals to help them grow in confidence and reduce confusion. I've also loved and cared for a multitude of different species including horses, donkeys, ponies, alpaca, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, bearded dragons, turtles, ferrets, sugar gliders, chickens, peasants, and quail. If you have unusual pets, I'd love to meet them! My routine is to come home after work, have some dinner, and then play & snuggle with my cats. I'd love to spend time with more pets! It's important to me that petsitters understand individual pet body language & communicate with pet parents to ensure that every pet feels secure & comfortable with someone new in their environment.

“Ashley did a great job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She kept me updated during each visit and sent photos. I met with several other potential pet sitters before finally finding Ashley. She connected with our cat right away, so I knew she was the right fit. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have 10+ years of experience in caring for dogs and absolutely adore animals (especially dogs)! I have 2 dogs, one a rescue and they are my entire world, and I would love to bring that energy to your sweet fur baby! I have house sat for several pets over the years as well as checked in, walked, and played with to ensure enrichment and that they don't get lonely! I would love the opportunity to help you care for your sweet creatures! I have a very flexible schedule and am available at most hours of the day and just about any day of the week, to check in on your furbaby! In my home, my dogs are my world. They are played with and walked each day, they have a structured diet, and they are ALWAYS allowed to snuggle on the couch (although I respect if this is not the case in your home)! I greet my dogs and other pets with love and joy. I ensure water is always available, and that they have access to the window so that they can watch outside while I am away. I firmly believe in using all of these when taking care of any pet!

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.

About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.

About: With four years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate pet sitting you can trust. I understand how stressful boarding can be for both pets and their owners, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where your animals feel safe and loved. From energetic puppies to senior pets and those with special health needs, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and conditions. When you can’t be there, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated like family—with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on schedule, receive any necessary medications, and get plenty of enrichment and one-on-one attention while I monitor their overall well-being. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide attention tailored to their personality and needs. For cats especially, I prioritize a calm, low-stimulation environment, respecting their boundaries while ensuring they feel safe and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their space clean, follow all instructions closely, and provide daily updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away.

“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have taken care of my own dogs, family members, and close friends' dogs as well. I also have a background with working with pets in a clinical setting while assisting a veterinarian. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available during evenings on weekdays and 24/7 from Friday through Sunday, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and medical needs. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and litter box or yard care—to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe space with close supervision, regular exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention. With 8 years in the veterinary field and 5 years as a veterinary assistant, I’m attentive to behavior changes, comfortable administering medications, and proactive about safety. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and treating every pet like family.

Jody was wonderful. She did a home visit to meet our animals prior to accepting the booking, which was helpful to all of us. While we were gone we received updates with adorable pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats, so we could see how they were doing. Jody even ran the clean up towels, since there were a couple of accidents to be dealt with, through the wash so we wouldn't have to deal with stinky towels when we got home. That was an awesome and welcome surprise, for sure! We would certainly call on her again.

Heavyn is the best sitter! She took fantastic care of our three cats while we were out of town. She handled their detailed medication schedules and feeding routines like a pro, stayed late to troubleshoot a glitchy automatic feeder, and even helped give one of our cats oral antibiotics that unexpectedly became necessary the day we left for our trip. She also made sure all three cats got plenty of attention and playtime. We loved the fun photo updates and her great communication throughout our trip. Our cats clearly enjoyed spending time with Heavyn (and her sweet baby!) and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We'll definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Phoneton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Phoneton is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $16 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 468 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Phoneton. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phoneton. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 , 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.
