About: I have taken care of family and friends pets ranging from cats, dogs, and fish. I love going on walks with dogs or just hanging out inside with a kitty. I have trained my dog in some basics like sit and come. I am currently out of school and have a free schedule. This makes it easier to care for your sweet animal! I am able to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby! I live in an apartment and have one very loving dog. My apartment had fenced in areas for dogs to run around in and lots of space for outdoor time. I have 2 rooms so I can keep my dog separated from your fur baby if requested. I spent lots of time with my pup and would love to spend time with yours!
“So grateful for Christine! Gladys and Mini were in great hands. I felt at ease knowing she came by at the exact times we discussed and everything went as planned. I will definitely be contacting her again when we have to live my babies behind.”
About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog and cat, and even horses and small pets like fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and bunnies, since I was a kid, from neighbors, to family and friends, and even friends of friends that have reached out to me personally because of my compassion and capacity to understand animals and love them like my own. I’ve just graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing, and I’ll be working on my Masters in the same field, virtually in the fall. Though my cat has anxiety and I am unable to leave him alone at night, I am available to care for your babies any time during the day, as I will have a flexible schedule of online classes. When arriving at your home, I would carefully come in the door if you have escape artists, and I would allow them to adjust on their own terms to my company. I would cater to whatever needs they had, whether that meant spending time outside, going on walks, eating meals, taking medication, playing, or simply sitting in their presence.
“Tessa did such a great job taking care of my dog & cat! She sent lots of pictures so I could see them while I was out of town and was very communicative. Will definitely hire her again! Thanks, Tessa! 😊”
“Samantha is great!! She takes her time to learn your animal’s specific personality and needs. I felt like my cat was good hands. Really went above and beyond to make our Rover experience a good one. We will be having Samantha back again !”
“I could not possibly be happier with the services i received from this person. She was on time, did more than she was contracted to do and provided just a great experience all around. She was honest, trustworthy and transparent about everything. Very positive experience i would not hesitate at all to utilize her again should that need arise.”
“We loved having Kierstyn do drop in visits while we were away she was soo kind and sweet to our boys and I feel extremely confident w her around animals. She works close by at a vet clinic which is a huge plus! She sent great updates and even did an extra drop in for me last min due to some weather. Really appreciate her helping us! Highly recommend”
“Jordan did such a great job at taking care of our dog! She was always on time and gave our dog lots of love. She is very responsive and sends pictures and updates during her visits. We definitely will use her again for future dog sitting needs.”
“100/10 stars! Kyle was absolutely amazing for our crew! We booked with him last minute & around Christmas time! With 3 dogs, we were slightly worried if he'd be able to handle it, but he handled everything seamlessly & with grace! The dogs instantly were instantly comfortable around him too, and our cat, who is VERY shy, even came out of hiding too! Kyle went ABOVE & BEYOND what we asked & we couldn't have felt more comfortable! He is very knowledgeable & super trust worthy! We will not be using any other sitter ever again! Praying he keeps us! Haha 😊”
About: I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young child. I routinely keep my family and friend’s animals while they are busy or just for fun! I am currently a work from home parent with plenty of time to give your baby the one-on-one time they need! Extra lovings and playtime is taken serious 😊 In your home I will diligently work with your animals the way that you need me too! I cannot wait to meet you and your baby.
“Wonderful thoughtful people! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Justin & Christina sat with my dog twice a day for 2 and a half weeks while I traveled for medical care. My dog loved them and was very comfortable while I was gone. I can absolutely recommend them and will call them again. ??”
“Jessica comes over every day while we’re at work to take care of our dog, Sully. Sully is super picky about people but he loves Jessica! She’s very responsive, trustworthy, and treats sully like her own. Thank you Jessica! :)”

⸻ I reached out to Elizabeth and she responded with such a positive and warm attitude. When we met in person, I immediately liked her—she’s very outgoing and easy to connect with. I have four cats, and they’re not the easiest to win over. Three of them usually hide under the bed when strangers are around, but one actually came out to greet her. Elizabeth was incredibly kind and patient, speaking gently and making a real effort to help them feel comfortable. Although I originally booked her for six days, I only needed help for five. When I returned, everything was spotless—the litter boxes were clean, they had fresh water, and the cats all seemed happy and well cared for.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rome on Rover is $19.43 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rome. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
