About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.

This is the third time having Jenny watch our dogs and she truly goes above and beyond with them. She sent us great updates with pictures/ videos which makes us feel better about leaving the dogs at home while on vacation. Thank you Jenny!

Tara's become our go-to over the last year and a half for taking care of our two cats, Ichigo and Freya. She's been amazing accommodating our super shy cat and keeps our bird feeders full and plants watered too. We have every intention of keeping Tara as our sitter for as long as she continues to do pet sitting.10/10

Olivia was a lifesaver! We made last minute out of town plans and Olivia jumped right in. The dogs loved having her there. I could tell by the daily photos. I swear they were all smiling. I would definitely ask Olivia again.

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.

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.

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: 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.

About: I’ve had a family dog forever! Family and friends are always asking to take care of their pets for a quick walk, potty or dinner. I have my own dog that I take care of so I know how much someone can love their dog as if it’s their child. Your pet will be in good hands! I teach so I am off for the summers. I can drop in over the summer and walk your dog if you’re on a day trip hiking or to the beach! Your dog can even play with mine at a dog park if they get along, she’s up to date on shots and is very friendly! My dog is solely on leash unless she’s in a fenced in area, so I have no problem walking your dog on leash. I have taken care of dogs from 10 pounds to 70 pounds and all sorts of energy levels.

About: I’m a caring, reliable pet caretaker with hands-on experience in dog walking, drop-in visits, and a background as a former dog park and boarding employee, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—my own dog, Coco, is truly my best friend, and she spends plenty of time playing and walking with her “cousins,” Copper and Wesson. As a new mom and stay-at-home mom, I’m looking to earn some side income doing something I genuinely love: caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m very friendly, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment so both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident. 🐾💛 I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal like family by providing patience, attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. I understand how important routines are, and I’ll always follow your pet’s specific needs and instructions to help them feel secure and happy in their home environment.

I could not have asked for a better first time experience using Rover! Jenny was amazing and came over before we left for vacation to meet our cats and get a rundown of their routine. She was thorough in her communication and it really made me feel so much better knowing that our cats were in good hands while we were away. I highly recommend Jenny for any of your pet sitting needs!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Scranton

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.
