“I can’t say enough good things about Eileen. She was super communicative. She came by before our vacation to meet our pets. She gave us lots of info while we were away about what was happening in and around our house. And I happened to cross paths with her at the end of her sitting, and our cats were so loving and comfortable with her. She is truly a cat person, and also, happily, a wonderfully responsible and communicative person, too. I can’t wait to hire her again.”
“Julia took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for over a week. She is warm and friendly and a natural with animals, and was always very communicative, polite, and proactive with our cats’ care. We are so thankful she stepped in to watch our fur babies and it looks like they had a great time playing!”
“Jacqueline did so well with our 3 cats while we were away for vacation. She kept us updated with pictures and was right on time with her visits. She was a life saver and kept our minds at ease while we were away. Thank you so much!!”

About: As of Oct.2025 now, I’ve cared for other people's pets for many years but recently learned about & joined this Rover App( as of February 2025). I love connecting with each pet’s unique personality—whether through play, cuddles, or quiet time. I’ve cared for cats and dogs, from energetic to mellow seniors. Before joining this App, I looked after many pets for friends and family. I will only choose one family a week but if you have a couple dogs and/or cats I will sit for all the fur babies if they get along when you're away. I keep my calendar up to date, so you’ll always know my availability. As a stay-at-home wife with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. With my husband and young adult son both working full-time, I can fully dedicate my days to your fur babies. I stay busy throughout the day at home—not sitting at a desk or computer—but doing chores around the house. In the kitchen especially. I am hopeful your pet is trained to be comfortable relaxing on the sofa in a nearby room where he can still see me. If you’ll be away for more than a few days, I do prefer to board pets in my home for consistent care—unless I dont want your breed or certsin personality at my house. If you have multiple pets, (like 2 dog and 4 cats I can go to your house a few times a day. I’m happy to discuss sitting in your home. I have a soft spot for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is shy, independent, young, or old, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m happy to take them for one or two walks a day, or simply keep an eye on them while they enjoy some fresh air in my backyard. I’ll chat sweetly with them—or just enjoy peaceful time together while they nap nearby. 🔔 Important Allergy & Fragrance Sensitivity Notice (just added) I love caring for pets and visiting homes, but lately I have sensitivity to synthetic fragrances. Products like scented dryer sheets, laundry beads, scented laundry detergents, plug-ins (even if unplugged), and Febreze sprays (even if you didnt use for a week) can cause shortness of breath, burning of my eyes, and just breathing irritation. Even if sprays haven’t been used the scent often lingers on furniture, carpets, and fabrics and can still trigger a reaction. Because of this, I kindly ask that scented products not be used before my visit it’s also better for your pets and family 🐶❤️. Unfortunately, our yard has a few gaps and softer fence areas where smaller , 10lbs pets could potentially slip through, so I prefer to keep them on a leash and supervise them while they’re in my backyard too. That outdoor time also counts as part of their walk and serves as a nice potty break. I always respect their boundaries and take time to learn what makes your pet feel at home. To help them settle in comfortably, please bring their crate ( must be trained), bed, blankets, and toys. Also, let me know if they need to be crated when we step out for church, grocery shopping, or dinner (more than 2-3hrs or whenever not home) If your pet has special food, treats, or even home-cooked meals you'd like me to prepare, feel free to bring whatever they’ll need. You would purchase their food I give. We don’t feed pets from our own plates. I’m more than happy to cook any pet-specific meals you provide.

“This is the first time I used Rover and it was a wonderful experience. Pumba is an exceptionally nervous and scared cat and Hailey did a wonderful job with him. I have more vacation time coming up in the future and hopefully Hailey is available cuz I will use her every time. An awesome experience”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs.

“Excellent service dependable, punctual, and clearly experienced with dogs. Communication is always prompt, and I feel confident my dog is safe and well cared for. Highly recommended.”
“Never before has anyone exceeded my expectations in as glowing a manner at a time when I needed it most like Lauren! My cat Rosie’s tendency is to usually shy under the bed but this heaven-sent petsitter was able to coax her out and send me the pictures and even videos I needed so badly to see during my vacation amidst my separation anxiety from Rosie! For this, I continue to be grateful to Lauren. In the past, Rosie would be very upset when I returned from my vacations but when I came back from having had Lauren pet sit, Rosie greeted me very happily! I have nothing but glowing things to say about Lauren yet as I fear writing all my praises would be too long a review, I will conclude by saying that if you are looking for a petsitter that is professional, reliable, responsible and not only loves animals but has a way with them, look no further than Lauren!”
About: Hi, I'm Shania! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you've come to the right place. — I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with a dog and a cat of my own, and my family has frequently cared for friends' pets while they were away. Those experiences taught me that every animal has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. — I currently have a dog; his name is Sport, and he is 15 years old, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and consistency are–especially with senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I'm happy to match their pace and make them feel comfortable. — When your pet is with me, they won't just be "watched." They'll receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and making them feel safe and happy is always my top priority. — I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands. — I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️ 📆 I'm currently a full-time college student, but I carefully schedule my availability to ensure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. • Fridays and weekends are completely open for bookings. • During the summer, I'm available throughout the week as well. From 8 am to 10:30 pm. • I never overbook because I want every pet to receive personalized care and plenty of one-on-one attention. If you have questions about scheduling or special requests, feel free to message me! My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very walkable, with plenty of grassy areas perfect for walks, sniffing adventures, and exercise. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I'll make sure they have a calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Runnemede
This is the first time I used Rover, and I chose Mary to take care of my three cats Chai, Serena, and Yasmina. During the introduction, I was impressed with Mary's love of animals and her friendly nature. I felt that I could trust her with my babies as well as my house. During my time away, Mary communicated in a timely manner and share photos of her drop in visits. She even managed to give medicine to Serena, who is not easy to give medicine to! I would absolutely ask Mary to take care of my pets again. She is reliable, kind-hearted, and trustworthy. Thank you so much, Mary!!!
Megan took care of our cat family of 5 plus 2 outdoor feral cats. The responsibilities included giving one of the cats two medications daily, multiple instructions for feeding wet/dry food based on individual preferences, and litter box maintenance. Megan did a great job by providing pictures and updates on all the entire crew on a daily basis. Additionally, she genuinely appeared to enjoy their company and I am sure the feeling was mutual. We would definitely use Megan again for future needs.
Julia was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away. We really appreciated Julia’s warmth, professionalism, and communicativeness. The updates she sent throughout our trip were very reliable and reassuring. She was very easy to connect with and our cats seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We hope to book with Julia again!
Hunter is a conscientious, loving and professional person. She cared for my diabetic cat for two weeks and I received glowing reviews from him lol. I very much appreciate Hunter’s style as well. She was relaxed and confident around Mick. Hunter is and will be on Team Mick for future trips!!!!
Melissa was fabulous. She was reliable and friendly and conscientious. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed and I needed to extend her visits she did so without hesitation. She spent time with my cats and sent great updates and photos throughout.
Margot took very good care of firefly! She even took the time to play with him which we really appreciate! Firefly seemed to warm right up to her which speaks volumes to her natural love and attentiveness for cats! Also , she was very adaptable when we had a little key /lock mishap (my fault). thanks again ! Definitely will book again
Kimberly was amazing and provided daily updates and great pics on all 3 of my fur babies enabling us to have a great vacation without worry. She went the extra step on making sure they were comfortable including adjusting temperatures for the chaotic weather. Highly recommend and we will rebook!
Emma arrived for drop-ins as scheduled, had excellent communication, and was very patient and understanding as my old man cat was having a particularly difficult time when I was away for a weekend. She tracked him down wherever he was squeezed under sleeping, took care of his symptoms that had flared up from some chronic conditions, and was very communicative about how to provide the best care (including decisions around his insulin injections) given the situation. I'd be happy to book her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Runnemede is $18 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 90% 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.
