About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.

About: I have extensive professional and personal experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, as well as injections like insulin, and following special care instruction. I currently have a lot of availability so I have a bunch of time to get to know your pets! Please message me regarding house sitting availability. I focus on maintaining their normal routine to minimize stress when caring for pets in a client’s home. I provide updates, photos, and notes after each visit so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)

About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I have the most availability on weekends but I have no problem making weeknight visits to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!

Heidi was wonderful with Alaïa! 🐾 She came by to walk her and spend some time playing with her, and Alaïa clearly had such a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was getting some exercise, attention, and love while we were away. We’re so happy we found Heidi and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! ❤️

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!

Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)

Elise was a very dedicated sitter! She made sure to get visual confirmation every day that the kitties were doing well. Our kitties are afraid of people and hide but she won them over, with treats of course! She was detail oriented following all of our directions. She provided a thorough description each day along with plenty of photos. It was a delight to see her updates. These put us at ease knowing the kitties were in great hands. I would absolutely book Elise again!

This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Pleasantdale on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Pleasantdale. 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 Pleasantdale. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
