“Shawnee was so great! We needed a last minute pet sitter when ours fell sick, and couldn’t be happier we found her! We have a cat that requires daily medication, and Shawnee was able to come over at a consistent time every day to administer the medication and give all 5 of our cats some love and attention, and provided us with detailed updates every day, and pictures. We would definitely recommend her, and would use her again!”
“Vanessa was amazing! We were in an extremely rough position and I had to find a place for Figgy in the middle of the night, and she was able to take him the next day. She gave me frequent updates with adorable pictures of my baby and eased my mind throughout this situation. She was even able to keep him for longer when the situation did not resolve itself. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”
“Amber was amazing! We felt totally at ease while we were away knowing she was taking care of our dog. Her updates were reassuring and she cared for our our dog with so much kindness and love. We would definitely book with her again for our next trip!”
About: I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your fur babies to see if we would be a good fit.I love dogs and cats so much,my life would not be complete without them. I have been in a position that I had to leave my babies at home all day by their self and felt so guilty. So I understand how comforting it is to know,someone can come in and take care of them, and give them the love that they deserve when you cannot. I am very knowledgeable about dogs and their specific needs based on what their particular breed requires. I would provide the best care possible based on their needs and your wants. I have not met a dog that that I didn't love! I love cats too!I have had several dogs over the years that I successfully trained to be well behaved and have been able to correct unwanted behaviors. Many have been rescues.I have helped friends and family anytime they have needed me to over the years. Anything I can do to make your life easier is what I want to do for you.😊 I am retired and would love to take of you best friends at your home. I have to dogs and a cat as well as twin grand babies at my home so I think it's best I sit for you in your home. I can feed, walk and play with your baby or babies. I can bath them and brush them.I will keep them safe at all times.I am good at doing basic training and teaching dogs tricks,(that is most dogs)😊 I will find out about what they like and what they don't like. Their needs depending on their breed, age and health.Depending on your circumstances we will discuss your wishes and I will adhere to them as well as always keep an eye on them, keep them on a leash when outside. Make sure they have everything they need and lots of loving on them if they like to be loved on. I will play with them and make sure to let them outside as often as they need.

“Taylor spent a lot of time trying to get our shy boy comfortable with her. He did finally come out for loves! She did an excellent job taking care of him! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.
“Alexis was absolutely amazing with Mocca! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and loving, and we could tell Mocca felt so comfortable with her. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mocca and gave her so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Alexis again. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 3+ years and counting. We have had pets in our home since I can remember. I have grown up with the love and loyalty that our pets provide and is something that I cherish. I started pet sitting for coworkers and clients for about 2 years now. I love helping fellow pet owners with caring for their pets in a time of need. My favorite thing is gaining trust from pet owners and ensuring that owners have peace of mind when it comes to being away from their pets. Having the medical background that I do also helps to ensure that your senior babies are being taken care of properly. Pets are family. I am currently a full time veterinary technician and work all days (8am-6pm) except Tuesdays, every other Saturdays (only from 8am- 12pm), and Sundays. With my full time schedule, I make sure that a pets needs come first. I will only pet sit for pets that I can guarantee my utmost care. I house sit a lot as well so this is helpful with my full time job. I tend to pet sit close to my job so if I have to leave in the middle of the day to take a dog out, I definitely can. I make sure to follow all written or printed instructions to a T. I also make sure to stay in close contact with owners (not too close to ruin your vacation) to ensure that they are still at peace of mind throughout their time away. I also love to send photos of their pets while they’re gone so they’re not missing out on too much :)

About: Although I don’t have professional experience as a pet sitter, I have always had cats and have also had dogs, so I’m very comfortable living with and caring for them. I have also cared for my friends’ dogs on several occasions. I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person. I believe every pet deserves attention, respect, and lots of love. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they are with me. 🐾❤️ Trabajo de lunes a viernes hasta las 5:00 p. m., por lo que estoy disponible para cuidar mascotas después de ese horario.

Cuando cuido una mascota en la casa de su dueño, me aseguro de seguir su rutina habitual y las indicaciones de su familia. Me gusta brindarles compañía, cariño y atención, además de asegurarme de que tengan comida y agua fresca. También puedo jugar con ellos, sacarlos a caminar si es necesario y mantener limpio y ordenado su espacio.
“Evan is very sweet and all our pets instantly loved her! She made me feel very comfortable with all of her personal experience with pets as well as how easily she gravitated toward all of our babies :)”

About: I have always loved dogs and cats! I grew up in a house that always had pets, so I learned to take care of them quickly. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to also watch their animals! I currently have another job- but I am still free most days of the week, including weekends and holidays! Evenings and early mornings work best. I will care for your animal based off of your own and your pets wants and needs! I can even send photos of your dog throughout our time together!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was seven years old and have shared my life with many pets over the years, including mixed breeds, Boxers, Pugs, a Siberian Husky, and a Miniature Pinscher. I have cared for dogs through every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, attention, and comfort. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. I also previously provided pet sitting and boarding services in Brazil, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, attentive, and loving caring for your pet while you are away. My home is pet-friendly and welcoming. I have a small, 18-year-old senior dog who is gentle and has lived with both dogs and cats throughout her life. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort level. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for as part of the family. I am Brazilian and speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with families from different backgrounds. If you are looking for experienced, patient, and personalized care in a loving home, I would be happy to welcome your pet. I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I can also follow your pet’s regular schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure. Safety always comes first. In my home, pets are supervised and welcomed into a clean, calm, and comfortable environment. Outdoor time is always supervised, and I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I introduce pets gradually and respectfully to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain the pet’s usual routine, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: For the past nine years, I’ve cared daily for my special-needs dachshund, including providing hands-on bladder and bowel expression and giving her injections daily. That experience has given me a particular soft spot for senior and disabled pets—and a deep understanding of the patience, consistency, and dignity they deserve. My animal-care experience also includes fostering newborn kittens and working at an animal sanctuary, where I helped maintain safe, clean enclosures for exotic birds. I’m comfortable with the messy parts of animal care, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to follow detailed routines. Whether your pet needs specialized support or simply plenty of affection, I’ll care for them as thoughtfully as I would my own. My schedule offers an insane amount of flexibility throughout the week, so please message me with the dates and care you need. I’ll always be upfront about availability and work with you whenever possible. Most importantly, you can expect dependable communication, thoughtful updates, and plenty of photos and videos while your fur baby is in my care. I understand that every pet—and every family—has a routine of their own. I’m flexible, communicative, and happy to tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means a leisurely sniff-filled walk, energetic playtime, patient companionship, or specialized senior care. I am big on documentation and communication in order to provide the best care possible, so rest assured you will receive that from me during the different endpoints of my visit so that you see they have been successfully cared for. I know how stressful it is to leave your family member in the care of someone else, so I want to make sure you have every assurance I can possibly give you that they are doing alright.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Polk City is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
