“Beth was fantastic. Our dog can sometimes be aloof and cautious with people, but I could tell from the updates and when we returned, he was happy and much less stressed from other times we have left him.”
About: I have over two decades of experience as a pet sitter for clients and friends. Dogs staying with me can expect lots of attention, love and walks. As a devoted companion to your companion you can expect responsive communication, care the way you request it and flexibility in scheduling. I am happy to work with pets who have quirks or special needs and am experienced in giving medication, including insulin. I am available 24/7 and will let you know in advance if there is a scheduling conflict, as far as days or time of day; I can be flexible if your schedule varies or if you extend or shorten your time away. Your pet is my priority. We will take frequent walks and spend the day together; happy to reinforce training, work on socialization, whatever is helpful for you. Care is centered around the needs of each pet, keeping to your pet's routine. My home is a ranch home (one level) with a large yard, nestled in a quiet area free of traffic and perfect for long or short walks. My house is clean and safe and I am set up and happy to do baths, shampoo and conditioner with a blow dry. Care is centered around your pet's routine. Dogs staying here leave happy and perhaps a bit spoiled.
“Beth was wonderful! She came twice a day to feed/water/scoop for our two kitties while we were away. We received lots of updates and photos. The cats loved her and we were very happy with her care.”
About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.
“Gay did a fabulous job taking care of our 3 kitties this past week!!! We felt extremely comfortable being out of town. Gay is terrific and we highly recommend her for checking in on your fur babies!!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pet like they're my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each stay. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have a cat at my parents I have my own place. Every day I make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure my cat is happy and comfortable. Because caring for pets is already part of my schedule, it's easy for me to provide reliable, consistent care for your pet as well. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, stick to their normal routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention and care. I always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring you have peace of mind while you're away.
“Ben is the kindest, most diligent, pet sitter ever! He’s passionate in his love of animals. I want to give him the best review possible, but I also want to keep him all to myself .”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs (2 rhodesian ridgebacks, and one mutt). When my family travels, I often house & pet sit the dog and cats. I have experience walking dogs of many sizes, and know basic commands. I am also comfortable with cats, as I grew up with them as well. I work from my home, so I have flexibility to walk around my daily meeting schedule. I truly miss having a dog of my own, but have a tricky travel schedule that does not allow it now :( I usually know my meeting schedule a few days in advance, and in general it is pretty regular. I can usually end my day by 4 pm and start earlier, around 7 am. Looking forward to working with you and your dog!
“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”
“She stopped by for a check in on my dogs while we were out of town. My dogs absolutely loved her, she was very responsive on needs that needed to happen for my dogs and even sent pictures of them! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dogs taken care of!”
“Preston was an outstanding dog sitter over the Fourth of July holiday! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dogs beforehand, which made us feel completely at ease. Throughout our time away, he was incredibly caring, attentive, and communicative. When a storm blew through and knocked over our patio umbrella, breaking the glass table, Preston let us know right away and kept us updated on everything. We really appreciated his honesty and prompt communication during an unexpected situation. It’s clear that Preston genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter!”
About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.
“Brittney was great. My normally shy cats instantly took a liking to her, and she took great care of them while I was out of town. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 38 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old cat. I had 2 dogs over the course of almost 19 years (12 years old and 16 years old when they passed). I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I work from home full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes at least once a day.
“Megan took care of my boy perfectly! He takes meds and can be fussy, but she handled that task beautifully. This was Megan's first visit and I could not be more happy! Thank you for taking care of my boy as if he is your own!”
About: I have been a nurse for 30 years but worked for veterinarians and in a shelter setting prior to that. I have had pets all my life and have experience fostering dogs. I currently have dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and a pig. I have a lot of flexibility and can make most situations fit my schedule. I have my own vehicle and look forward to making your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am happy to play with your dog or cat, provide exercise, food, and medication if needed. I can do multiple drop ins a day. I truly love animals and will try to connect with your pets so they feel safe with me.
About: I grew up with dogs and as a kid, I took care of neighbor's dogs from time to time when they were away. My wife loves dogs as long as they belong to someone else. We have cats but I need to do something like this to get some time with dogs. I just retired from teaching after 31 years in the job. I go for walks every day and I thought why not walk with a dog. I am not able to watch dogs at my house. I have a geriatric cat that would probably have a heart attack. I am primarily looking to walk dogs, but I could dog sit over night at the client's house in a pinch.
“Brandon was great! I knew he was going to be great fit since the meet and greet. Our dog Benji loves him. Milo will take a bit of time but I'm sure over the next few visits Brandon will win him over too.”

As of July 2026, there are 1,178 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Russell Center. 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 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.

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.
