“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hi there, my name is Natalie, and I’ve been an animal lover since the beginning! I currently have 3 rescues; my dog Will Sniff, and my cats Pepperoni and Pumpkin. I have 8 years of experience with dogs and 3 years with cats. I work best with medium to low energy pets of any size and shape. I work nights so I’m free during the day, and I’m almost always free on weekends too. Since I have pets of my own, I understand the importance of everyone get the love and attention they deserve. I’ve been reading up on body language of cats and dogs to make sure I can anticipate everyone’s moods and actions. I also make sure toys and treats are pet safe and supervise pets during playtime. Pet safety is of the upmost important part of owning animals.
“Kyra was absolutely wonderful! Communication was 10/10 and made me feel completely comfortable and confident with her coming to my home and taking care of my cat! 100% will be using her again!”
“Riley did amazing with my dog Kiko. Kiko is very nervous and takes a long time warming up to new people but Riley knew what they were doing and was so patient with Kiko! They were reliable and took great care of Kiko. I will definitely be booking them again!”
About: I have six current pet-sitting clients, three for whom I’ve pet-sat for five years! With these clients, I do overnight stays and/or drop-in care in the clients’ homes. I have ample experience with elderly pets. I can commit as much or as little time to your pets as needed. I am happy to spend all day giving them company or just stop by as needed! I will change my schedule to fit your needs. I prefer caring for pets in my clients’ homes where your pets are likely most comfortable. I leave my clients’ homes in the exact condition that I found them.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.
“Jayde was amazing! Our girl Luna absolutely fell in love with her and had the best time. She kept us updated, took great care of Luna, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!
About: I am a dog mom to 2 of my own dogs! I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I will provide personal care for your pets. I am available for walks and check in visits afternoons/evenings through the week and open availability on the weekends. I do hold a full time job during the day Monday-Friday. I only care for pets in the clients homes! I make sure to check all doors and gates before and after walks to make sure everything is closed and locked.
“Mary took great care of our golden retriever Beau! She took him on a long walk and spoiled him while we were gone for the day! She sent pictures and updates and we will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Mary!”
“Highly recommend Autumn! She truly cares deeply about animals. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands— she even brought him a Christmas treat and toy which he loved!”
About: I am an avid south Columbus walker and runner. My husband and I had a dog named Max for 13 years before he passed on last year. I'm looking to fill the open space left without a dog in our home, and enjoy quality time with your four-legged family member! I'm available most evenings and weekends, and can occasionally be available during the odd hour (mornings, mid day, etc). I work locally, with allows for some flexibility. I am a communicative and responsible adult who will treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. You can be assured that my pet care is worry free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rome
Very happy with my first experience with Rover and having Beth take care of my babies! She is very reliable and followed all the instructions I left. Every day she arrived when promised and spent a good hour with my pets. I was provided reports and pictures to give me great peace of mind. Her communication was thorough and always really fast. I would definitely be happy booking her again in the future!
We couldn't be happier that Audrey took care of Gary and Zoya during our 8-day vacation. Especially our girl Zoya, who's always scared of having other people in the house. Audrey won her trust with love and patience, and the photos she sent spoke volumes! Seeing Zoya so comfortable around her gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Recommended!! Will book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rome is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 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.
