“Kristina was great! My cats are pretty standoffish and she made a point of varying her drop in time to make sure that she could get eyes on both of them and know they were ok. It was really nice to know that they were cared for while I was away, huge stress relief for my trip.”
“Emma is just who Purru needed while we were on a weekend getaway, just two weeks after a move. We came home to a happy, content cat, which is a wonderful thing! Emma , thanks for spending your weekend with our sleepy senior kitty girl, and for your patience while waiting for the key.”
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have 3 years of professional experience as a Kennel Technician at Reynolds Dog Resort. I’ve cared for many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, including rescue, shy, high-energy, and special-needs dogs. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, administering medications, and providing safe, patient, and loving care. I’d love to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! I worked at Reynolds Doggy Daycare Resort in McMinnville, Oregon as a kennel technician. In this role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments throughout the day, often supervising groups of up to 20 dogs at a time. My responsibilities included ensuring proper hydration, enrichment, and cleanliness. I was trained in dog behavior and handling, which prepared me to confidently and safely manage a wide range of situations. When walking dogs, I always use secure harnesses and leashes, and I carry water to keep them hydrated. I carefully assess each dog’s temperament to ensure they are compatible with walking companions, minimizing stress and preventing conflicts. I maintain constant attention to their surroundings to ensure safety from traffic, hazards, or unpredictable situations. Beyond dogs, I also enjoy spending time caring for our Russian tortoise, which reflects my experience and passion for a variety of animals.
About: I've lived my whole life around pets, specifically cats and dogs. My family and friends alike all relied on me for pet sitting care which included regular dog walking and extended, overnight stays. I'm currently not working and only going to school. When I do get a job, it will only be part-time and I'll update my schedule accordingly. As of right now, I have ample time for frequent check-in's and overnight stays, especially in Yamhill County. I unfortunately do not offer pet care at my personal home, but am willing to stay overnight at client's homes. I believe in leaving places better than I found them, AKA no trace left behind!
“Jessica was WONDERFUL. I was really nervous previous to booking but once I met Jessica and saw her interacting with my kitty Hazel I knew she was the best choice. She understands how to interact with cats and Hazel was quickly comfortable with her. She took great pictures of Hazel for her daily updates and I could see how happy my cat was while I was away. She even brought her a toy and an extra scratching board! Great communication, professionalism, timeliness, and care. Absolutely I will book with Jessica again next time I am able to travel.”
“Allison was wonderful! I will definitely use her services in the future. I loved getting pictures of my babies while I was away too because I miss them tons when I’m gone.”
“Arianna was wonderful! She took great care of my cats, had excellent communication, and made sure everything went well while I was out of town! I will definitely use her services the next time I’m traveling!”
“I feel confident leaving my cats in Jaime’s care. They are shy cats, but she takes time to engage (if they are willing), and Jaime gives me daily feedback regarding their activity or pictures of them hiding.”
About: Ive had dogs my entire life. Ive taken care of dogs of all ages, size, and temperaments. I currently have an elderly blind chihuahua, and a corgi mix who is reactive. I recently left my job of 4 years due to lack of proper management. Im taking classes through Chemeketa but my schedule is very flexible. It’s important that all animals feel safe and respected around me. I’m not easily startled by reactive animals, all it takes is a little time to grow comfort.
“This is my second time with Alyssa and was just as great as the first! I was able to leave my furr babies in peace so I could go be with my human "baby" in a big moment in his life. Great communication and my kitties were happy and healthy when I came home. Thank you Alyssa!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and family friends. I was a recurrent dog sitter for a year and I would take dogs on walks, follow their food schedule, and also take some time throughout the day to continue simple parts of their training. I’m currently available part time, mainly on the weekends and Wednesdays where i’m available from early morning to late afternoon. Im currently only able to do drop ins and walking for your puppies or cats. For my clients home, i’ll be there to take care of your pets and only do as you instructed. I’ll play with your pets and if preferred, I can take your pet on a walk around your neighborhood.
“Alisha took care of my golden retriever while I was away for a long weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and gave me so much ease leaving my baby!! Very responsible and great with my dog! Highly recommend”
About: Cats and Dogs have filled my house ever since I could remember. I have helped care for neighbors and family members animals over the years and helped maintained their safety and health. Taking them for walks, giving them snuggles and a bath when needed. I have been around dogs of all breeds and am very comfortable with them all. Needless to say, almost every animal I’ve been around has adored me just as much as I adore them. Your pets are promised safe hands when cared by me. I just graduated college and am working to start a business so am looking for side gigs to do that will allow me to continue to work simultaneously. I love pets and will be home for the next year so have an open book for watching pets. In my clients home I would be very mindful of the pets environment and take them for walks along with feeding and snuggling afterwards or beforehand. Respecting my clients property and accomplishing my job safely and responsibly.
“Michelle took amazing care of my kitties for a week while I was on vacation! She even was able to coax my timid cat into some pets which is amazing! Definitely plan on working with again for my next planned trip!”
“Meagan took wonderful care of our sweet Ellie Mae. Ellie quickly warmed up to her, much quicker than we anticipated. Meagan sent pics of Ellie and kept us apprised as to how she was doing. We will definitely use Meagan in the future. She even left us a thoughtful surprise.”
“We were in a pinch for some short notice drop in visits. Jessica was able to be available to pop in and give our pups and outside break and attention during a couple of days we had to be away. The dogs are so happy with her and we know we can count on her. Would definitely recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,754 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saint Joseph. 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 .

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.
