About: I come from a family of animal lovers and caretakers and have had a variety of pets my entire life. I have been rescuing/rehoming, fostering, and foster failing since I was 17. I was also a volunteer dog walker for the animal shelter near my college for 4 years. I always go above and beyond for animals in my care and always treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I have experience with animals of all care needs, medical, physical, and behavioral and always prioritize safety and enrichment. Currently, I own four very spoiled cats, but I have also owned and worked with dogs and small furry creatures. I'm willing to work with any and all pets and pet parents! I work from home every day except Tuesday and have a very flexible schedule. I am available 24/6! My schedule can be fixed around your pets' needs. I believe safety is a number one priority, but also the bare minimum. I will follow any instructions to a T and provide as many updates as you would like.

“An absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. We could not have found a better person to watch our cats while we were gone for several days. Hanna dropped in twice a day to care for our cats while we were out of town. She is super friendly and warm and sweet. Our cats fell in love with her instantly. We invited her husband to visit our place with her , and he was great with the cats too. Hanna was a great communicator. She kept us up-to-date and reached out if she had questions. She also sent us numerous photos and videos of our cats as she cared for them. That’s how we know how good she was with them. For most of us who have pets, they are almost like our kids, and we want to leave them in the best care possible when away. Hanna is the person to take care of your animals. If you are in need of someone to watch your animals while you were away, ask Hanna before anybody else. You will not be disappointed, I promise. We will absolutely reach out to Hanna again for future travels.”

About: I worked in a shelter with dogs with all kinds of backgrounds, trauma, behavioral issues, special needs, breeds/mixes, sizes. I even have some experience with feral dogs. I work fulk time at a dog daycare/boarding facility. My hours are either 6am-1:30pm or 9am-4:30 and occasionally 8am-3:30. I have one friendly dog but he is currently boarding with a friend for the time being. He is crated when I am not home due to his severe separation anxiety.

About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog “Beau” when I was 8 years of age. I’ve since had two beautiful adopted puppies. I look forward to training or assisting with any dog. I can assist with cats as well. My fiancé recently adopted a kitten, and the kitten then adopted me. I am available anytime to take care of your loved pet. I have reliable transportation and will be able to adjust to any schedule needed. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do walk to the beach every day. I also have a carriage that I walk my kitten in if that is needed.

About: For the past four years, I’ve been the dedicated sitter for a family who entrusts me with their pets every time they travel. I care for both their 2 dogs (Golden Aussie and Brindle Pitbull) and 2 senior cats, handling everything from feeding and playtime to clean up and companionship. I grew up with dogs and birds, and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, observant, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm cuddle session. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full-time, but pet care is still a meaningful part of my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks in the early mornings, evenings, and some lunch hours depending on your location. I’m used to coordinating around a work schedule, and I always make time for the animals in my care—they’re never an afterthought. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions exactly, stay in close communication, and treat your home and animals with care. Whether it's keeping up with feeding times, administering medication, or helping your pet feel less alone while you're away, I bring a calm and reliable presence to every visit.

About: I've grown up with large dogs my whole life-7 in total- from puppies to adulthood! I'm often called over by friends and family to take care of their dogs and cats since high school. I didn't grow up with cats but I we recently rescued two and I love them to death. We've trained each of our dogs since they were puppies. I've personally cared for many elderly dogs (my own, as well as petsitting) and have also owned a dog with a neurologic disability who would often fall ill and get fevers, and now I'm well acquainted with spotting the signs. I worked in pet boarding for nearly 2 years and I did everything from bathing, being a daycare technician, and diligently scrubbing kennels. I worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, young and old, friendly and not ao friendly. I also have experience with taking care of Rabbits, Bearded Dragons, and Ball Pythons. I have a very flexible work schedule and I can let dogs out throughout the day at any time. I prefer to house sit if the house is further away to make feeding and letting out easier. I only use a 2 finger "touch" when correcting a dog, and I'm well trained to prevent dog fights (or "arguments") and how to break them up. I worked 1.5 years full-time in dog daycare/boarding, so I'm well acquainted with dog body language and appropriate dog training.

About: Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am an artist, athlete, and am generally pretty active around town and in community events. I'd love to meet you and your pets! I grew up in a home with cats and have always been a passionate pet owner. My own cat is 17 and healthy, but I love spending time with dogs too. In my teens, in college, and through adulthood, I've pet-sat for many dogs over the years in order to spend more time with them and learn about their behaviors and needs. I've always wanted my own but have been too mobile to make a full-time commitment. My loss is your gain! I've worked with reactive and non-reactive dogs, small dogs and large dogs, and puppies and elderly dogs. I am very comfortable with animals and, due to my active nature, love taking them on walks around town or at the park. I am happy to also stay home with them if they're in their golden years or are less mobile. I will likely want to know a fair bit about your dog or cat when we first meet to ensure they are well cared for in your absence and to ensure I am prepared and aware of their behaviors if we are around other people and/or other animals. The same rules apply for kitties! I love cat sitting too. All in all, I love animals and genuinely enjoy taking them for walks, spending time with them, and making sure they feel loved. I have some experience working with sheep as well, so if you are on a farm or have other livestock, I'd love to help out in that regard too! I hope to own my own small farm someday. Thanks! I am currently working as an artist and researcher, so I have a flexible schedule. This means I can adjust my schedule to suit your needs and can stay overnight if needed. I will likely ask a lot of questions the first time I dog/cat sit for you. Knowing your pet's routine and their preference is very important to me to make sure I am prepared to take good care of them in your absence. I appreciate detailed instructions for house sitting, especially to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away. I do not mind if you'd like photo or text updates throughout the time you are away, so you can rest assured your pet is in good hands. I feel the same when I am traveling! For walks and such, I will still have a few questions to ensure I know how to best care for your pet while interacting with other animals and people. I am able-bodied and active and love walks at all times a day to get my (and their) steps in!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.

About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Saint Joseph on Rover is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per visit. 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Joseph. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
