About: As a previously Licensed Veterinary Technician with more than 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I've cared for dogs of every breed, size, age, and personality—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special medical needs. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, and I am familiar with post-operative care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply spending time with a caring companion, I can match each visit to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is in experienced hands. I am retired, so my scheule is very flexible for late morning, afternoon, and evening visits and walks. I can also do weekends and most holidays. I am unable to care for pets in my own home with 3 cats that are very content with the current housing situation and few guests.
“Kristen was wonderful! She came over and met our dog before hand. She was very observant with all the details of the care routine. She showed up on time and was very dependable. We were quite anxious about leaving our dog for the first time, and Kristen put our minds at ease. We will be using her again in the future!”
About: I've always loved spending time with animals. I adopted my first cat in college, and finally got to live with a dog after college in Germany, for my first nannying job with a toddler and a Golden Retriever. Whether with my own animals or those of family or friends, I always love playing, petting, walking (when applicable), brushing, and cuddling! Due to my work schedule through the years, I've had mostly cats in my own homes, and therefore have more experience dealing with cats who are senior or medically fragile than with dogs who have special needs. For decades, I have also taught humans, from kindergarten age through adult, and understand how important it is to be responsible and reliable, and to follow instructions. Each situation or animal may require specific or special care, and I am happily willing to take that on. I love all animals, whether small or big! If you do have an aggressive and huge/heavyweight dog that needs a big, bulky person to restrain it, I may not be your best fit, as I'm 5'5" and not competing in bodybuilding in this lifetime. Otherwise, hopefully I'll get to meet your fur family soon! I am currently working part-time and have some flexibility in my schedule. I can be available on weekends and probably at least a couple of days during the weekday for multiple visits during the day. If you need only 1 or 2 visits per day, I might be available most if not all days of the week. My previous full-time job was teaching high school, and I more recently nannied for young children with two large dogs and a cat in a rural area. I understand the need for responsible and reliable care, along with prioritizing safety and well-being. I will follow your instructions and will be happy to send photos and updates and be in communication in whatever way you prefer.
“Sara spent lots of time with our anxious senior kitty and coaxed him gently into coming downstairs and getting some pets each day. We appreciated the high level of care and interaction. We returned home to a calm and relaxed cat and a clean litter box.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Matthews
Taylor and Kyle were exceptional with our pets while we were gone on a vacation for 9 days. They sent so many photos and you could tell our pets were very happy and felt cared for and loved while we were away. I will definitely be working with him in the future.
Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!
Sam cared for our cat Pookie while my wife and I were on vacation. She shared comprehensive updates every day to show that food, water, and litter were taken care of. Our primary concern while away was that Pookie would be lonely. Sam went above and beyond making sure that Pookie was played with and loved on. The hardest part of going on vacation is having to leave Pookie at home, but Sam’s attentiveness and dedication allowed us to have the peace of mind that Pookie was well cared for while we were away!
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Rachael was very professional, communicative, and caring for our kitty cat, Remy, while we were on vacation. He was very happy with the care she provided, and he was well-fed and well-loved while we were gone. We will definitely request her services for our next trip!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saint Matthews on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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

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.
