“Elisa was amazing! Our Golden Retriever usually goes to daycare, but he is recovering from surgery and we needed someone to come to our house. Thank God we found Elisa. She is sweet, kind, and professional. She sent us pictures and updates throughout her visits. We will definitely be booking with her again”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been lucky to spend my life caring for them in many different ways. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, stay calm in new situations, and provide patient, compassionate care, especially for pets who may be shy, nervous, or adjusting to a new environment. In addition to shelter work, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands-on experience with group play, structured routines, and safe supervision. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind, and your pet lots of love. :) Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I have a flexible schedule and am available most days between 8:30 AM and 5 PM. I plan my day around pets’ needs to ensure consistent, attentive care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, preferences, and personality, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medication, and cuddle preferences. Because I work at an animal shelter and have experience in a doggy daycare, I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and stress signals. I provide calm, patient care and adjust my approach based on each pet’s energy level and comfort. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to create a positive, low-stress experience and treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Having Ian as a cat sitter was fantastic! We received thorough notes and photos from each visit, with Ian recognizing the preferences of each cat and engaging with each in a way that best suited them. He went above and beyond and with that, we were able to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were safe and being well cared for.”
“Adrianna is attentive, caring and kind. I was very stressed and in need of help- first week with my new pup, and she was at the ready to help anyway she can. Super appreciative!”
“Bella is a wonderful pet sitter! She did check-ins for our cat, Abby, while we were away on vacation. She did a great job caring for her while we’re away and appreciated the last minute request. When we had forgotten to plug in her automatic feeder, she promptly informed us and programmed it for us. She also sent lots of photos and updates. We would highly recommend her as she was a pleasure to work with!”
About: Hi I’m Kenzie! 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each pets unique personality and routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and always want your pet to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I have a part-time job most days from 4:00–7:00 PM, but I’m available before and after those hours and have a flexible schedule overall. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I primarily provide care in my clients homes because I know pets are happiest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other instructions you provide.
“We are so thankful for Joann. She is so patient and gentle with our dog. She is flexible and accommodating to unexpected changes in schedules, and always sends detailed updates.”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Devyn was great- I was certain that Jack was well taken care of! Our cat is not particularly cuddly with new people, but somehow Devyn still managed to snag photos of him. I would recommend her.”
“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
“This was Kaitlyn’s first visit with our dog. She is punctual and friendly, and it is obvious that she likes animals. We appreciated her help today and will book again!”
About: I have been caring for my own, friends, families, and now client's pets for the last 16 years. I have always loved animals and caring for them. I have a senior cat and am used to meeting his specific needs. Don't worry, I am very familiar with dog care as well. I regularly care for other's dogs and grew up helping my parents care for our dogs. I work from home aside from 1 day during the week and have a flexible schedule. I'm typically able to care for pets in the mornings and evenings. I am able to do overnights as well because of this flexibility. I care for my own pets daily. If any pets are staying in my home overnight I do need assurance they are cat friendly as I have two and their safety and the safety of your animals is paramount! I am able to do overnights or drop in services as needed as well.
“I am so grateful that Catherine spent 30 mins each evening for one week with Houdini while I travelled. This was my first long trip since adopting Houdini and Catharine gave me peace of mind. She was punctual, organized, sent thorough check-ins, and perfectly executed Houdini’s care. She left our home as she found it, and even though our kitty is very shy, I know it helped Houdini to have someone check on her daily. l will absolutely trust Catharine with Houdini’s care in the future if she’s interested.”
“So glad we found Juliette to cat sit our shy rescue Samantha! It was evident how much Juliette loves cats! It gave us peace of mind to know Samantha was in good hands while we were away and we appreciated the photos!”

Val did a great job caring for our senior kitty! She visited him each morning, and didn’t just take care of his “food and box.” She played with him and had him engaging in toys and games he hasn’t enjoyed in a while. I will definitely contact Val first the next time we need a pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,381 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Plumstead. 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.

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.
