“Christina was great. She gave daily updates and photos. The cats were not hiding from her. She was able to give them their medicine. When I got home everyone seemed happy. The litter boxes and all the cat dishes were clean. I would recommend her.”
“Meghan was amazing! Reliable, caring, and very attentive. She made sure everything was taken care of and gave our cats great company while we were away. We came home to happy cats and a clean space. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was in elementary school. We have 5 cats and 5 dogs of our own. I am a certified foster for the SPCA and several other rescues. I take medical cases and am comfortable giving medicines. All ages of pets and needs welcome! Pets are my number 1 priority. I make my schedule around the pets I am caring for! I treat them like my own and their needs come first ! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard and take dogs into my own when needed. Otherwise I watch dogs in their own environment to make them as comfortable as possible when their owners are away.
“We felt very comfortable leaving our two cats in Maria’s care. She provided a safe and welcoming home for them and we could tell from the pictures she sent every day that our pets felt relaxed. She is warm, caring and thoughtful. Couldn’t ask for anything more and will definitely book a stay for Simon and Alvin in the future!”
“Hailey did such a great job with my two cats! She’s so sweet and attentive. She even washed the cat’s bowls for me! (I feed them canned food and told her I could just wash them when I got back from my weekend trip). She left my place better than what it was when I left. I will definitely re-book with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I have been an animal advocate since I was volunteering at the PSPCA during my childhood. I’m a former Humane Police Officer in Philadelphia. I’m a very experienced with pretty much any animal. Friendly and caring. I’m currently on medical disability and have a pretty flexible schedule minus a few appointments here and there. I am trying to get some part time gigs. I current have a cat of my own, a foster cat and 7 fish tanks. I’m highly experienced in animal care and husbandry. I have much passion, care and respect for animals. I take pride for the hundreds of all kinds of animals I rescued.
About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!
“Jahari helped us out last minute when we needed someone with an extra skillset to check in on our girl. We highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter and in particular anyone needing the extra layer of assurance a vet tech can provide. He is super kind and accommodating and we are glad to have found him!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had pets myself and I have pet sat for my friends and family for years. I am punctual and detail oriented. Whatever you and your pet need I will provide. I will always show love and respect to the pets I care for. I work at Mom's Organic Market 4 days out of the week so I have plenty of open days to take care of your pets. I live in an apartment and have a cat so my place would not be ideal for pets to stay over. Maybe another cat would be ok. I am open to that.
About: I have helped take care of my family pets while growing up and I have recently adopted one of my own, he is 3 years old and currently lives at home with my parents as he got attached to their dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages (puppies-seniors), from staying active and going on walks/runs, or just hanging out around the house I love animal company! I work a full-time job which leaves me with some extra time during my lunch break, after work, and on the weekends to pick up a side gig. I love working with animals and it would be an honor to walk/watch your fur baby! As I live in an apartment building I do not have my own fenced in yard but my building has a small “dog park” (fenced area) for dogs. I will provide walks and playtime for the dog.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, and gained hands-on experience handling group play, feeding routines, and behavior monitoring. As an Animal Science major, I have a strong background in animal health and behavior, and I’ve also worked at a veterinary hospital, where I learned about medical care, safe handling, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet like my own! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I only have one class a day for about an hour. That means I have plenty of free time throughout the day to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule! When caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before visits or walks. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure the environment is calm, secure, and full of love. I follow all owner instructions carefully such as feeding schedules, medications, and leash preferences and always double-check doors, gates, and harnesses. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for, just like they would at home with you.
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“It seems like our puppy had a great time with Mr. Fernandez. He sent us pictures and gave us updates in our puppy during his stay. He was very accommodating and was available on short notice. He will now be our permanent doggy sitter.”
“Brittany was amazing! Basqui was in great hands and I can tell she enjoyed her company when I returned. She had great communication, was punctual and shared pictures throughout her time with Basqui. I would highly recommend Brittany.”
About: I have experience caring for both small and large breeds, including administering medications and sticking to routine schedules. From long walks to playful fetch sessions or cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m a mother of one, as well as a proud pet mom to a 6-year-old Maltese and a 5-year-old tuxedo cat. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable care. I’m detail-oriented, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I’ll care for your pet just like I do my own. I’ll stick to their routine so they feel safe and comfortable, make sure they’re fed, walked, and loved on, and handle any medications they need. You can count on lots of updates and photos, because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your pet happy while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rushland
Wendy is AMAZING! I found her in a pinch and thank goodness I did! She was available at last minute, and is truly such an incredibly kind and caring individual. She has outstanding communication, loved on my kitties and sent me so many pictures and videos. I have a hard time trusting just anyone with my animals but had no worries with her taking care of Milo and Zima. I cannot wait to have her take care of them again soon!
I cannot say enough about Wendy G she was amazing! This was my first time using rover and the first time not having a family member or friend take care of my cat. Wendy went above and beyond every day. My cat is picky who he likes and he loved her right away. Thank you Wendy for making my vacation worry free😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,494 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rushland. 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 .
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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
