“I felt very comfortable leaving my pet for a few days knowing that Heather would be checking in on him. She shared a daily update and prior to our trip she stopped in to meet our pet and make sure she knew exactly how to best take care of him.”
“Christina was great! She was able to help us out pretty last minute and took great care of our babies. She provided great details and pictures as well as excellent communication”
“Danyelle did a fine job taking care of my cat for a week of drop-in visits. She came exactly when expected and sent reports and pictures every time. She's a trustworthy and very pleasant person.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, an energetic adventure, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, belly rubs, meals, potty breaks, or quiet companionship, every visit is tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Building trust with both pets and their families is my top priority. I take the time to make sure every dog and cat feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way. I have occasional time off, which I will be available to walk your dog or feed your dogs/cats and provide them with quality care. I have my own pets and love animals, so they will be in good hands. I will go to homes to feed or walk pets.
“I boarded my two cats with Mariia while painting my house, and I was so nervous because they had never been anywhere but our home since they were kittens. She was so understanding and wonderful with them, sending photos and updates every day. And when the work took longer than we anticipated, she was able to accommodate several additional days with them--I will be forever grateful for it. I would book her again over and over!”
About: I've been taking care of my own pets for the past 6 years, and through thick and thin I have stuck by their side and given them all the care in the world that they need. I fully understand how important our fluffy friends are to us, and to me, mine are like my family. I always go above and beyond to make sure every animal I interact with feels safe with me and secure in their environment! Every day at 5:30PM I make sure to give my cat, Tibs, her blood pressure medication. I practice being very on-schedule with taking care of her and making sure she gets her breakfast, medications and dinner on-time and the best amount for her health. At times, she over-eats so I am careful to feed her in intervals that will work best for her stomach. I am very good at keeping an eye on her health and our schedules together. I always make sure to make sure every furry friend I interact with feels safe and secure in their environment, as I understand myself how important it is to have your home be a safe space.

“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: Hi there! I’m Sophie, I am a firm believer in using walks and playtime to bond with a dog and get them more comfortable with me. (That’s how I won over the puppy that replaced me when I went to college). I have a similar philosophy towards cats, but with a whole lot more playtime and a whole lot less outside time 😆. I am a recent college graduate and I’m working on my applications to get a job in my field, so I have time to spend all day with your pet. Just let me know what you need! Whatever works for you, I can do! I have no set schedule so I can come by any time. I do prefer to make my visits at least an hour long so they have the chance to get used to me. I will work with what’s available to me. If I’m visiting your home to keep them company I will play with their favorite toys and find their favorite spots to hang out in. I’ll play with their dogs outside if you have a fence, and I try to let them guide where we go on walks.
About: I have great knowledge and experience of dogs of all breeds and sizes, and have house sat and walked dogs through rover since I was a kid with my mom. I am experienced in training, introducing, and watching dogs as I have fully trained a male lab puppy, an African mastiff, my personal dog, and a therapy dog! I am currently taking full time college classes online, with two in person weekly. I also work marketing remotely so I have a lot of flexibility as I get to create my own schedule. I also am very fit and like to walk/hike daily finding new trails for me and the pups! I do hourly walks depending on the dog, as well as parks/hikes to make sure they fullfill their energy needs. I also ensure they are let out to use the bathroom on a consistent schedule as well as food and water. I myself have some energy so I do like to run around the backyard and/or play with them lots! If training is requested that is also done on a consistent strict schedule.
“First time using Rover. Any reservations I had going into this were quickly dissolved by Justine’s friendly and prompt responses. I appreciate the communications prior to the visit and also the updates during and afterwards. I would absolutely request her again in the future.”
“We highly recommend Mary Rose. We have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disorder, and asthma, so getting his medication right is extremely important. She handled his care with no problems at all and followed his medical routine with confidence and precision. Our cat is also quite shy with new people, but she was able to build a connection with him. We received plenty of photos showing him enjoying petting and grooming time, which was very reassuring while we were away. She also provided detailed daily reports that truly put our minds at ease. It is clear she has both a deep love for animals and strong knowledge of their care. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
“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.”
About: Hi, my name’s Matt and I have been taking care of various kinds of animals since I was 12. Fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, dogs, and cats. You name it we’ve most likely had it. I’ll make sure your animals are loved for and have a blast while you’re gone. I can work with young puppies and senior dogs as well. Please reach out to me to inquire about availability and to set up a meet and greet. I will also send lots of pictures and updates. I currently have availability from Friday to Sunday. I can be available by Friday afternoons if given at least a weeks notice and can stay until Sunday night or early Monday morning. I currently have two cats and a dog. Nani is my dog and she has a fence for the backyard but I can also take her out for walks or out on a leash if needed. I feed her once a day with dry and wet food. I also give her baths and clean up her poop in the yard. The two cats are indoor cats and I play with them, clean their litter boxes, change their water, and feed them.

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 November 2026, there are 1,350 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 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 Rushland. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
