“Olivia was very personable. She did 2 drop in visits a day for my cat Gracie, who took to her right away. Gracie is on a raw food diet which required fresh food twice a day. Gracie ate well, not losing any weight, which meant she felt very comfortable with Olivia. I recommend her completely. She was wonderful.”

About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.

About: I have had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs and hamsters. My entire family is incredibly passionate about animals and I’ve always answered the question “what do you want to do when you grow up?” with “pet cats and dogs.” Taking care of animals is incredibly fulfilling for me and I rely on them just as much as they rely on me. I have two cats and two dogs and they’re my entire world, and I just want to spread the love I have for animals as much as I can. I am currently unemployed so just working side jobs and have some appointments here and there so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. I have two cats and two dogs of my own that I spoil day in and day out so I’m used to all that having pets brings with it.

About: Throughout the years I have dogsat/pet sat for numerous family members and various other individuals. I am experienced in dogs of old age, puppies (and their shark phase lol), dogs with dementia, smaller dogs (yorkies, etc). For my current boss, I have watched her pitbull puppy numerous times whilst multitasking and watching a toddler. Also, a fun fact is I adopted a dog of my own from nickel city canine rescue. His name is bluey and he is just over a year old. I know the challenges that come with dogs, due to the when I got him he was reserved, untrained, and very scared of people walking up to him. Now after many training sessions and lots of patience and love me and him have become social butterflies. To summarize; I have skills in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with dementia/disabilities, a variety of puppy ages, and training puppies basic commands (sit, wait for food, ring potty bells, etc). I hope to hear from you soon !! I currently work part time (Wednesday and Thursday) as a nanny, and I am in school to receive my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. So on my free days I’d love to take care of your pets :) I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I make sure to walk my dog two times a day ( weather permitting) and to do lots of brain enrichments. If you need, in my time in your home I can clean bowls, set up enrichment toys, or take your babies for a nice walk.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of

About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.

About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs in my life. From big to small, young to old.

I am also open to staying over night or them staying over night at my house with my two cats. I’m very flexible. I would keep an eye on all times and make sure they are loved. Make sure that everything the owner wants, I’m able to give!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Rapids

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rapids. 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 Rapids. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
