“Kim did a great job looking after Kiwi and Mustache and she even brought our trash in from the curb. You know your cats like the sitter when they greet her at the door. Thank you, Kim!”
“Lydia was wonderful with my girls. They bark and intimidate some sitters, but she loved on them and took special care. She was also on-time for her visits. Very highly recommended.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Erica was great! We had some unexpected circumstances that required us to extend our trip and Erica’s services. She was very happy to help meet our needs. It’s great to find someone who is very dependable and has the flexibility to accommodate our needs. We definitely plan to utilize her services again in the future.”
“Christy is always very responsive and goes above and beyond what is expected when caring for our cat Lucy. We highly recommend Christy to any pet owner in search of a sitter in the area!”
“Keleia did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away for 5 nights. She is reliable and trustworthy and loves pets. We hate leaving our cat but when travel is needed will not hesitate to use her again. Thank you!”
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.
About: I've taken care of many different pets since I was about 15 years old. Friends and family members have relied on me to feed and walk their pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) Currently I am babysitting kids on occasion, so I have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pets. I am able to spend week days/nights and weekends and am super flexible with time! I have a vehicle that is reliable and comfortable for transporting animals. I live in a nice, calm neighborhood and am open to having pets over to my home.
About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
“Brieanna was just fantastic! Every day she sent a brief journal and lots of photos. Clearly she spent time with my kitties and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know. I am currently a student who mainly works from home so I have plenty of time and a wide open schedule to care for your precious pets. My house is smoke free, pet safe and pet friendly. You can rest assured your companion is safe, cared for and happy with me. I love dogs and dogs love me!
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have both senior cats and a senior dog (pug) at home. Caring for aging pets has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and love getting to know each pet’s unique routine and energy level. I recently graduated and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the week for dogs and cats of all ages! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with pets during the day. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, especially while their owners are away, and I strive to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and helping them feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and each pet’s individual needs and personality. I can easily crate a dog if necessary. I also value clear communication, cleanliness, and treating every home and pet with respect and care.
About: I have been working with foster kittens through local shelters my entire life, learning how to manage medicine schedules, weighing schedules, as well as caring for vulnerable critters with illnesses or anxiety. Socializing kittens with dogs (vis versa) is also some thing I am incredibly passionate about, helping all animals in your household aclimate comfortably with one another is something I strive for! I worked for around a year with a professional dog show handler as her assistant, learning how to manage over 30 animals at a time, gaining valuable experience with grooming all types of dogs, working with animal parents, and acquiring valuable skills and knowledge in training and obedience. As a college student in the area, I’m looking to meet and support families around the community! My weekdays are more open to check-in visits and dog walking, my weekends are more open for boarding or Housesitting- lets me help you find what you need! And I will be able to stop by your house to feed, walk, or hang out with your animals as needed. Working around my school/athletics schedule should be no problem, and I am totally ready to figure out an agenda that works!
“I was very happy with Rhonda's care of my cats. She is pleasant and professional. She responded very quickly which was great since I planned a last minute trip. I would definitely use her again.”
“Great pet sitter! She did an amazing job during her drop-in visits with my cats and provided good pictures with her updates. Would definitely use her services in the future.”
About: Hello!I am looking for work helping out with your animals:) I am incredibly comfortable with both cats and dogs, as I have grown up with both and was tasked from a younger age as one of their main caretakers. While I do not have any animals living with me now, as I am early in my career with a seasonal environmental job, I would love to spend some time with a dog or cat and help out when needed! Having had two anxious bigger dogs growing up, I am very familiar with meeting the needs and navigating spaces with animals of different capacities in mind. I am around for any overnight needs and would love to support with good care when needed or with walks outside! I am working in a part-time position and have a roughly shifting schedule every week. I have the most availability on weekends (sat-sun) for walks, care, or overnight boarding! For the weekdays, I will have a good idea of what I will be staffing that week by the Thursday before and would keep you in the loop of when I could come by/care for your animal! I value giving notice and being a reliable addition to your life for good stable care for your animals! I live right next to Wright park and love a good walk! I believe in using this time in this service to enrich your pet’s life and am looking forward to getting to know them and engage with them! My apartment is ready for pets (as I have planned to adopt or foster dogs/cats but am holding off while I am in my current position). I am very comfortable with more anxious/aggressive presenting dogs, as I grew up with a few and feel confident in implementing differing strategies to get them comfortable and manage them while giving them experiences to be outside. I’ll be available for however much communication you are looking for and appreciate the work and trust given to care for these members of your family!
About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Purdy is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 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.

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.

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.
