“Susan was fantastic! All of her updates for Charolette were thorough and made me feel at ease that my pup was doing good while I was gone. Would highly recommend Susan as a sitter for anyone’s dogs!”
“Isabel did an excellent job with my German shepherds. My dogs felt comfortable around her, she was very attentive and communicative throughout each drop in visit. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have had animals all of my life, dogs, cats, birds, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and have taken care of goats, chickens, and more! I fostered around 20 dogs total for two years and a few years ago I started a business for myself in my neighborhood where I charged daily for watching peoples pets of all kind and within those years I have watched and cared for about 30 different animals :) I am unemployed right now and am looking to fill my time the best way, with animals! I do participate in theatre, such as acting and volunteering, so when I'm involved in a show my hours will differ, but i'm super flexible! I am not able to provide at home services at the moment since I live in a place that does not allow pets right onlw, but I have had two dogs of my own at my moms house as well as 3 cats. One of those being my own cat who I had to leave with her when I moved. I plan on one day saving enough money and moving out so we can live together again! I would care for your pet in your home exactly as I would treat mine, with restrictions or more based off of your preferences! At my moms house, the pets are allowed on furniture, have a routine for going outside and being fed, and are free roam in the house when away. However if they are crate trained, need exercise/play, or extra/less care, I will do just as you have instructed
About: I have taken care of our dogs since we got them. I love them so much and I love to see more happy pups in the world! I am currently a full-time college student, so my availability varies, but I generally have late morning to mid-day and evening availability. I'm very flexible! I love to give lots of pets to my dogs and cats. I will do whatever you need me to, I will feed your pets, play with them, walk with them and make sure they are happy and healthy when you get home! If your animal has any special needs I'm more than happy to accommodate!
“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”
About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
“Caitlyn was an amazing sitter. The booking was truly last minute and she responded right away. She was super attentive to our furry friends and, when we returned, surprised us with teaching one of our dogs a new trick! I would definitely recommend her for anyone interested in having someone who is truly caring watch over their pets.”
About: I have had many pets growing up small dogs, big dogs, cats, and others. I come from a family where we love and care for our pets deeply. I work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of all your pets needs including my own. I make my own schedule for the most part every week so there’s plenty of time to plan around work. I have 1 dogs and a cat currently I take care of all they’re physical needs feeding, exercise, play time, and love. I personally enjoy every part.
“We’ve used a few pet sitters through Rover over the years. Kayla is among the best! We enjoyed the updates and photos that came after each visit. One of our cats does not usually come out for strangers, but he was front and center with Kayla. If Thunder (our shy cat) is good with Kayla, so are we! We already booked her again!”
About: I love animals and have grown up taking care of many different pets. From foster kittens a few days old up to an again mastiff, I'm comfortable taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. Today I have 2 dogs at home, and would love to care for your pets! I work in office throughout the week with occasional options to WFH if needed. I am most available after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends with enough notice. I will care for your pet and home as if they were my own and ensure they are safe and cared for during a visit. I am happy to take animals out for a walk or just play in your home or yard depending on your preference.
About: I’ve had and loved animals my whole life and have experience watching all sorts of animals in all shapes age and size. My hope is for both pets and parents to be so comfortable with me that being separated is stressfree ! I currently work roughly 9am -3:30 pm M-F. I am available to feed or let whoever out during lunch as well! Weekends I’m free all day !! I’m unable to bring animals into my home but am happy to visit and hangout with them in their homes!! If desired I’m always able to go for local walks/hikes or fetch depending on exercise needs!
About: I was a puppy raiser for The Seeing-Eye between 2005 and 2016. My family raised 6 puppies starting at 8 weeks old, so I am well-versed in both puppy care and training. As puppy raisers it is our job to socialize our puppies to new environments and teach them basic obedience and manners as they will need to be well-behaved in public for their future blind partner. I also formerly worked at the family dog training school. I've lived with primarily German Shepherds, as well as a pitbull and collie. Though I have met and understand a wide variety of dog breeds. My animal experience doesn't stop at dogs & cats, either! I've personally owned or cared for rats, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, freshwater fish, snakes, lizards and even horses! I currently have a retail job with random hours so my schedules will vary week by week. I do typically have Wednesdays off of work, though. I have a fenced yard at home and can bring many of my own supplies if needed. I have spare leashes, toys, bowls, anything you might need.
“Catie was phenomenal with my two pups who absolutely adore her! She came twice a day to check on them while I was on vacation and spoiled them while I was away. I highly recommend her as a sitter if you want and need someone to care for your fur babies. She is the BEST!”
About: I've taken care of all types of animals. Iguanas, turtles, rats, dogs and cats and more. I've very passionate about animals and ensuring they are cared for properly. I work from home. I have a dog and two cats. They are my work buddies throughout the day. Love walking and taking my dog for walks around town during work breaks. I have a very flexible schedule and can make time for any extra care needed. I have a fenced yard for dogs to play in.
“Kelly was great to have. She arranged to come meet Rowan prior to the scheduled days. She always gave some feedback on how he was doing. Also used her vet skills to give advice or recommendations to make things easier for Rowan. Planning on using her again!!”
About: I’ve taken care animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been animal sitting and an animal shelter worker for 4 years. My clients rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, medicate, and even take them to the vet if necessary. I have experience with senior animals that have specific needs and I’m also certified in training Service Dog and Therapy dog which give me some training experience. I have a full time job. My schedule is 9-6, 5 days a week with an hour lunch. On my days off I do as much with the animals as I can. I follow the instructions from the owner to the T. If I have any questions on concerns I contact the owner as soon as possible

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Polktown. 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 Polktown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
