“Wendy was amazing with our crew. She was prepared for our meet and greet, and went above and beyond to adjust her schedule for us. She’s been an absolute life saver for our family and all our last minute needs. The pets adore her and we feel safe leaving them in her hands. We couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Christiana was amazing! She handled our house full of animals like a champ. They loved her and she made sure that we were well informed while we were away with updates and photos. She even made sure the house was clean when we got home since the dogs like to destroy it and left us a note and small gift! We could not have asked for better! We will definitely be using her again.”

About: i've been taking care of fur babies since i was young. Anytime, neighbors, family, and friends needed help caring for their pets, I was there! I will care for your babies as if they're my own. Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.
“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”

“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”

“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”

“Ryann did a fantastic job following instructions and even going above and beyond. She managed to keep our Houdini cat in and the pictures she sent showed happy cats. I will definitely book her again.”

“Amazing experience with Lillian. She went out of her way to provide care and comfort to our pup over the holidays, giving us peace of mind while out of town. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, I bring a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of each pet. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion for animals and my years of hands-on experience. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially in their own home, and I take the time to build trust with each pet, providing them with personalized attention and care. Your pets are more than just animals to me – they’re family, and I treat them with the same love and respect as my own. Pet care is a key part of my daily routine, and I am available to fit into yours! I prioritize the needs of pets around my work and personal life, ensuring they receive attention, care, and love whether it's during the week or on weekends. I am flexible with my availability for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and can accommodate both short-term and longer-term sitting arrangements. Your pets’ care is always my priority, and I am happy to adjust to your schedule as needed. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets, whether in my home or in yours. In your home, I ensure that your pets are cared for in their familiar environment, reducing stress and keeping their routine consistent. I follow any special instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a secure, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax. I always prioritize open communication with pet owners, so you can trust that your pets are in good hands. My goal is to give pets the attention, care, and security they need while you’re away.
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to making every pet feel like they’re part of the family. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra patience and training, to senior dogs who require a little more care and comfort. I’m also comfortable handling minor medical needs, such as administering medication or managing specific care routines. I understand that every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to suit their personality, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring they stick to their schedule, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. I go to college full time and my schedule varies throughout the week but I have lots of free time in between and after classes in order to give your pets the attention they need. Weather it is snuggles, play or care my priority is meeting your pets needs. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. In addition to caring for your pets, I also keep you updated on the state of your home. I’ll let you know if I bring in packages, notice anything unusual, or address potential concerns, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide exceptional care for your pets and your home!
“Emma was great! She was flexible and understanding when I had to make some changes to my trip plans, took great care of my blind senior dog that requires meds and special attention, and she sent updates and pictures every visit. I know Dakota loved the company and having her take care of him while I was gone!”

About: I'm a huge animal lover, and have had everything from cats and dogs to ferrets and fish! I've always watched over other people's animals for as long as I can remember and love every moment of it! From cuddling with a lazy fur baby to going on long runs to let out some energy, I've always been able to match any pets energy! I am a full time college student currently studying at NCTC! I'm usually free for the most part if not in class or the weekends where I get most of my studying and homework out of the way! I'm always willing to abide by any house rules you may have or areas that are off limits or need extra eyes on. I'm more than happy to crate dogs and make sure cats try not to scratch up furniture!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads/mats and do nails for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.
“Samantha did such a great job visiting my cats who are very demanding. She really does a thorough and reliable job and is very kind. She communicates in a timely fashion which is great”

“Jessica was an outstanding cat sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Both of our cats are extremely shy around new people, so we knew it would take someone patient and attentive to care for them properly. Jessica did a wonderful job making sure all of their needs were met, even when they weren't eager to come out and socialize. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats of different personalities. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she paid close attention to their well-being and made sure they were comfortable, fed, and cared for throughout our trip. When we returned home, our cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed. We are very grateful for the excellent care Jessica provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,578 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ponder. 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.
