Mariah was a life saver. I had to go out of town for 5 days and she did a great job caring for my 3 dogs. I was at ease the whole time. I would highly recommend her and will call on her when I need her.

About: Hello, my name is Jessie. I am an experienced animal care provider who is extremely excited to meet your babies! I have worked at dog daycare, pet boarding and grooming facilities for 10 years and have taken care of animals of all types! I have always been a pet owner and lover. I have experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior pets, animals with behavioral issues and with medical needs. In 2021 I graduated from Canisius College with a degree in Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation. During my time at Canisius, I completed an internship at the Erie County SPCA in the wildlife department; where I helped to care for many different exotic and wild animals. I have also taken classes for and have experience with dog grooming. I currently have a shetland sheepdog, a rottweiler, a miniature poodle and two cats who are my entire world. I am mostly available during the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. Regardless of this, I’m always able to provide your pets with wonderful care. I do work during the week but will be able to stay with your pets over night and check on them during lunch break and back again after work. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me at any time! When I am not at work- I’m pretty much always home! I have plenty of time give your babies all the love and care they need! I will always provide your pets with as much love and care as you would! I will follow all instructions to a tee as far as their feedings and other needs. Whether it’s frequent potty breaks or a specific way they like to eat their dinner; you can rest assure that they will be cared for to the highest standard.

Trish was great with our puppy. After the initial meet and greet, we were very comfortable having Trish come to our house and care for our puppy. She is clearly an animal lover. Her communication is excellent. She also sent us pictures and an overview of how things went during each visit. We are looking forward to having Trish care for Betty again.

Sara arrived promptly and asked all the right questions. She was mindful of understanding any rules or boundaries we have set for our fur baby, who is an energetic Siberian Husky. We had an stress-free Mother’s Day knowing Sara was taking care of them! Thank you Sara!

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was wee child. 8 years ago my now husband and I got our first puppy (a pitbull/rat terrier mix) named Dudley and have since grown our four legged family by four! A 3.5 year old Daniff (Great Dane/English mastiff mix) named Aspen and three domestic shorthair kitties, varying in color (an orange included), named Chug, Nova and Wee. Despite the 2 dogs, 3 cats and family I still have time to spare throughout the days; especially during the school year. I’ve been walking dogs for friends and associates for about a year and I’ve really enjoyed the freedom and relations I’ve found along the way. I have experience with dogs of all ages/sizes. From 40lb corgis to 150lb mastiffs, your pup is safe with me and will likely find a new best friend. I would love the opportunity to walk your dog or drop in for a visit/play date! **I do have a 6 year old that comes with me during the summer so I am limited to child friendly dogs during that time. My schedule is almost always open and flexible aside from not being available on weekends. I am currently unavailable on Tues, Thurs and Fri (from 11AM-12PM) for a preexisting client. Because I have 5 pets of my own, I am unable to offer services from my home. With that being said, respect is first and foremost. Your house, your pets, your rules. I always like establishing the blueprint for what my visits will look like. I, of course, am trying to cater to your pet and understand they all have different needs; some are anxious, food/treat motivated, some need lots of exercise. I assure you, no pet is too big or small for me.

It was such a peace of mind knowing my pups were cared for over the weekend while Jenna checked in on them. She sent me pictures and messaged me with any updates. I will definitely book with her in the future!

Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been actively caring for pets since I was young. I worked for 5 years at the PetSmart PetsHotel while attending college, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, trained puppies, and understand the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and making pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m currently in between jobs and can be available for walks during the typical work week (Monday through Friday, from 9 to 5). I love to get my steps in and typically take my own dog for at least a 60 minute walk everyday. At this time, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting in clients’ homes. I believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent while providing attentive, compassionate care. During visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, exercise and playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!

About: I have 30 years of pet experience including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. Everyone forgets about feeding the fish! If watching your pet at your home, I will be sure to make sure that not only your pets is safe, happy and taken care of but that your home is looked after as well. I have been a home owner for 17 years and have great attention to detail. Your pet will be in safe and loving hands. I do provide daily pictures with updates if that is something you would like. I work a 4 day work week and have great availability to spend a lot of time with your pets in order to give them the best care while you are away. I have a fenced in yard so your pet would not need to be able to be walked on a leash but love to go on walks if that is what the prefer. I treat your pets the same way I treated my princess of a dog when she was still with us. They are allowed anywhere you would let them and I respect your rules. If you don't like them on furniture or in beds I comply and follow through with those wishes. I try to keep thier routine the same as you use to keep the pet relaxed and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Scranton on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 478 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Scranton. 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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 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.
