“Tamera was amazing. I made a mistake and booked a week earlier than meant to and she was able to come by the same day. Super quick to reply and helped me with booking stuff because it was my first time using rover. My shy cat seemed to like her as well! Usually she hides from new people but Tamera was special”

“We left our cat, Moses, in Aaron’s care for 31 days. When we returned, Moses was well fed and well hydrated. Now that we are back home, I think Moses misses Aaron more than missed us! 😊 Aaron not only cared for our cat, he provided kindness and love. I could tell from the photos Aaron sent after every visit that Moses was comfortable being around him. Thank you Aaron, we will 100% contact when we leave for our next extended vacation.”

About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old! I helped train and take care of my family dog since she was a puppy, and I still do when I visit home. I have also recently fostered a puppy, so I am familiar with the concept of constant and longer term pet care. I am a teacher in the Columbia area, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I am available weekdays after 4 pm, and my weekends are pretty open, with the exception that I am out of town or on school break. I have a house with space and a fenced in yard, ideal for pets. I can let your pets out, walk them, feed them, and crate them if needed, as I have done all of the above for pets in my care.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and ages my entire life. My grandparents had a farm with 10-15 rescues at a time. I’ve had jack russles, Great Danes, labs, & pitties. I’ve been dog sitting all ages and sizes since I was 10 (cats too!) I also have experience with aggressive / reactive dogs and know how to keep them comfortable especially on walks. I am a helicopter dog mom and super particular about how my dogs are taken care of and I will be that way with your dogs too! I work Monday-Thursday with a super flexible schedule so I’m available most weekends and sometimes during the week for drop ins and dog walks. I have a 11 year old and 1 year old dog so I am used to stricter instructions and think it’s super important to follow them for the dogs safety and well being!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats. In college I worked on a farm and cared for cattle, chickens, goats, pigs, and alpaca. I am currently a zoo keeper and have been in the field for three years. I have cared for reptiles, small mammals, some birds, and larger hoof stock. I have experience giving medications, preparing special diets, training, and observing animal health/behavior. I have worked with young and senior animals. My weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday, so anytime of day I am free. On days that I work I am able to care for your pets before or after. If needed I can also check on your pets during lunch. I am great at following instructions. When going into your home or staying the night I will provide the best care I can. I will make sure to respect your home and your pets!

About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!

Whatever your pet’s needs, I’m ready to offer loving and experienced care! I’m a college student with classes Tuesday/ Thursday mornings and while I have a part-time job usually Monday/Wednesday 1-6, I still have plenty of time for pets. I ensure they get daily walks, meals, playtime, and attention, keeping their routine happy and consistent! I want to give your dog the best experince that they can have.That being said, I would love to meet them before just to make sure all is well. During the day or anytime I stop by, I will be send you a picture of your pets so you won't miss them too much!

Tamera was the best! She communicated well and often. She took amazing care of our babies and sent tons of photos and video updates. She made sure Rusty took his medicine and got tons of love and cuddles while we were away. She was respectful, professional, and most of all genuine. She set the standard for care and will be our ONLY choice for our next trip.

On short notice, I was able to get Aaron to watch my housemate and friend for an extended visit this time. Once again, I came back to a happy cat - of course for the first 12 hours he meowed at me at how good Aaron was and why did I come back ... he loves his spa service: daily fresh litter box, water and food.

Amaya is very sweet and attentive with my kitties. Not only did she come over to feed them, but she also cleaned their litter box out very good and played with them for a bit. Amaya is a very responsible pet sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!

Natalie is conscientious and the kitties enjoy her visits. Her affiliation with a local veterinary clinic also lowers the anxiety level. She is businesslike and certainly likes animals.

Merrell took wonderful care of my cat PB! She sent an update with every check in and it was such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after my beloved kitty. Merrell is responsive and makes sure your pet is safe and healthy. My cat is very shy but Merrell spent time at my house to assure that PB was doing ok.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Sandwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sandwood. 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 Sandwood. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
