About: I'm the kind of person that can get the jobs done, even the dirtier ones! I have experience with handling feeder insects as well without any problems! I currently have a wide open schedule, and as such I am available for you and your companions at any and all times when it comes to scheduling! I will follow your set instructions to a tee, and I will always handle safety measures myself in ways that keep stress and harm for any and all animals minimal to none. I will triple check each and every safety concern (fragile items, doors locked, etc.) as part of my routine.

“Luna was happy and excited when I arrived home. Arionna had played with her, took her on a potty break, and gave her a treat. She ran right to Arionna, when she arrived. Luna seemed very comfortable around her. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Taylor, I am 29 years old and I have been a dog owner for probably over 15 years and I am one of the biggest animal lovers there is! I spent 3 years working at a well know AAHA accredited veterinary clinic. I would love to help others have a chance for good animal care. A little bit about my own pets. I adopted Charlie, my border collie mix, and Willie, my domestic shorthair red mackerel tabby about 4 years ago and recently added Lupa, my border collie to the mix. My preferences: I do prefer dogs, but I know how to care for cats as well! Personally I would probably rather spend all my spare time with any and all animals! Pet sitting is my full-time gig along with a few other odds and ends, so for the most part I am available to stay with your pet all day. My schedule is flexible and my partner is home with my pets while I hang out with yours(: I am always caution about walking others dogs, I follow any and all guidance provided as well as my own judgment based on directions. I have previously worked in a veterinary clinic, so I can read situations that many have never encountered before.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have several years of pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for pets for multiple families, including a long-term recurring client who I visit during the week for potty breaks and companionship. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight care in your home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats and other animals. I’ve even cared for farm animals including chickens, geese, and pigs! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether that means a quick potty break during a long workday, meals and playtime, a walk, or staying overnight while you’re on vacation, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care. I also love taking photos and sending updates so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away! I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care throughout the day. I offer drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. For overnight stays, I may leave for work, errands, family time, or other pet-care visits, but I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure we discuss their schedule ahead of time. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals, potty breaks, exercise, and attention as needed. I also send photo updates, so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

About: I have been in love with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up with 2 cats and 1 dog in my household as well as chickens, a bearded dragon, a turtle, fish, guinea pig, and a rabbit! Currently I have no animals but I still have the same amount of love for them! I have taken care of my friends and families animals and I’m always happy to meet some new animal friends!! 😍 I am currently a musician part time which means my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to visit your animals whenever is best for their schedule! I will happily send you picture and video updates for your animals! I love to play with them using their favorite toys and don’t mind spending some extra time for some snuggle sessions while I’m there :) I am a musician which means work comes and goes and I make my own schedule so I am extremely flexible and happy to visit whenever! We always had an "electric" fence for our dog which would gently vibrate her collar if she got out of the boundary. She was well trained and very attentive. Our cats were indoor cats and we made sure they knew they shouldn't try and get outside or on counters. The chickens and rabbit were fenced in outside in a giant chicken coop and since I was handling animals at a young age I am very familiar with how to gently care for them.

About: With experience from a pet store where I learned about nutrition, training service dogs, and handling a variety of animals at the zoo, I offer well-rounded pet care. As a dedicated pet parent to four dogs, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and provide personalized, knowledgeable care. As a masters student, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine. I balance my studies with caring for my own pets by ensuring their needs are met before I do anything I have to do When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I follow their routines, offer plenty of attention, and ensure they feel safe and loved while maintaining a clean, stress-free environment tailored to their needs.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Princeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 97 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Princeville. 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 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeville. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
