“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 ❤️”
“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”
“So thankful for Heather watching our babies!! She spent time with them, tended to them, and provided us with updates and photos. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with our babies!”
“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! 🥰”
About: With my own animals I’ve had a special needs dog that required medication. I’ve had my own senior animals that required medication. I can do pets like rabbits, rats, birds, ect. (No snakes) I recently graduated high school and getting into the work field so I’ll have all the time to be able to take care of your baby. I will always make sure they are okay and comfortable with anything. I’ll make sure collars and leashes are on properly so they don’t get hurt.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and love them to bits. No matter what life stage your furry friend is at, puppy, adult, or senior, I'll be there to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're out. I'm a college student currently, and all my classes are online. I can work pretty consistently throughout the week and would love to keep your furry friend company while you're away. I will listen and follow your pet care instructions; this includes behaviors that you have trained and would like me to continue while you're not at home.
“Emma has done drop-in visits for us twice now and we are pleased with her level of responsibility and love of animals. We have a complicated ranch situation that she has cheerfully adapted to even though our critters are not always cooperative. The two house dogs seem comfortable with her which is most important, especially because one is very shy. We appreciate all of the photos and detailed communications each night. Emma seems to enjoy engaging with our eclectic crew and is always eager to be helpful as needs arise. Highly recommend!”
“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: 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,594 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.
