About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
“Michelle was so great with our fur babies. They loved her. We will definitely use her again on our next trip. Thank you again Michelle you gave us a peace of mind leaving them🥰🐶🐶”
“Thanks again for all your help literally herding the cats! I appreciate you taking in the garbage and packages, too! Everyone but Leigh Ann showed up on our first night back, hopefully she'll return sometime today. I loved getting the photos and updates during each of your visits, let me know and see how they were all doing. I will definitely connect again next time we're out of town and need some help with them.”
About: I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies, kittens, and even lizards! I've dog sat a handful of times, and I have my own senior dog I love and care for. I’m currently working part time, which is enough time to take care and play with your animals! I would enjoy taking them on walks, to the park to play, or even just cuddle in my free time. I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, and provide them with enough love, care and exercise. If there’s certain needs for them I can gladly get it done.
About: I have practice taking care of an elderly terrier with multiple health conditions. I spent 2 months taking care of a corgi, boarder collie, and two cats. I am currently without work for the summer, so I have nearly open availability. The only days that I may be busy is on Thursdays. I am patient when dealing with all sorts of animals. I have not came across a pet that did not get along with me. I love cuddling and playing with animals.
About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
“Amazing experience! I was a bit skeptical about Drop-ins but Aaliyah gave me great confidence! Communication back and forth was top tier, followed directions and asked for clarity! Aaliyah was a delight and so professional too ☺️. I’m definitely booking her again!”
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
“Haley watched our 5 indoor/outdoor cats for 4 days while we were out of town. She took lots of photos and gave us detailed updates about how they were doing, which ones stuck around and which ones were on the go. She brought in some mail and packages, too. Haley made sure they had extra food available if they didn't show up, gave them fresh water, and cleaned out the litter box for them. They even got some play time in with somebody new, which I'm sure a treat for them! Thank you, Haley!”
“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”
About: NOW OFFERING A FREE BATH FOR FIRST TIME BOOKINGS! I worked at an exotic vet clinic for almost 2 years. I have a 7 year old boy. I have worked with multiple dogs as the same time for over 10 years. I am now training. I can't wait to play with your pups/critters!! ❤️ I work early mornings at a doggie daycare Pets are taken outside in the mornings and fed if need to be before work (only two days a week) when I get home at noon everyone is let out again fed lunch if needed, then we have supervised play time. Everyone goes out again, then we rest. Dinner is served in the evenings and after we go out to potty again. (I am able to accommodate to younger pups or dogs with medical issues) I do have three friendly dogs and one kitty. All new pets are slowly introduced to my three dogs. One at a time. after everyone if aware of each other, then its time to play!
“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”
About: I've been an animal shelter volunteer and pet parent for the last 16 yrs, fostered cats and dogs (from babies to seniors) in my home for the last 12 yrs and have been the go-to cat & dog sitter for countless friends & family since college. I have extensive experience caring for senior cats and dogs as well as training and experience with pets with anxiety issues; especially rescues. I truly love animals and would love to care for your "furbabies" while you're away! I'm happy to care for your pets in whatever way you/they require in your home. Frequent walks and outdoor potty breaks are no problem! I'm also happy to bathe and/or medicate your pet if needed. I currently work in retail full time but my schedule can be somewhat flexible with at least 2 wks notice. However, I do typically work 12-6pm Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun, so if you're looking to book me on weekends, please keep in mind that your pups will have to go about 6.5hrs without a potty break. For the time being, I am only doing in-house pet sitting at the pet's home. I don't have a fenced yard and therefore don't feel comfortable watching pets in my home.
“Jessica was a diligent, loving sitter with a talent for snapping action shots of my kitties at play. She was careful to ensure special diets were observed and both kitties got equal attention/exercise, even though Keet is much whinier than Sonny. I enjoyed lots of pictures while I was away and I felt at ease k owing they were in loving care. She was flexible, communicative, and such a kind person. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: My name is Azalea! I am open to any kind of pet service as I have lived with pets almost my whole life. From boarding your pet to a simple walk, I will always put your pet first. They are beautiful creatures that make one’s life happier and better, so I will ensure they feel welcomed and safe in my home. I have dealt with all kinds of pets from dogs to cats to birds to hamsters. There is nothing better than being able to trust someone with your pet when you are away from home. Allow my home to be your pet’s second home when life gets busy! I do work full-time but I work 2 minutes from where I live, so it would be so easy to check on your pet as needed! It’s a typical 9-5, so I would be able to take a walk in the morning and/or in the evening! I live downtown, so walking around the Arkansas River Trail is one of my favorite things to do and it’s such a great walk for any dog to enjoy!
“Ariela did a good job looking after our two cats while we were out of the country. I would not hesitate to recommend her. This was the first time we used Rover and we were satisfied with the services.”
“Brice did an incredible job looking in on our cats while we were on vacation. He had great communication and sent photos after each visit. He successfully gave my cat Jax his medications twice a day and made sure everything was okay. I would definitely recommend him!”
“I booked Tisha at the very last minute (due to a dog sitter cancellation) for some dog walks while I was out of town. Tisha is very responsive and kind -- I always felt like Zoe was in great hands! I feel so fortunate that we were able to find someone so great with only a day's notice! I highly recommend Tisha and would definitely book her again.”
About: I grew up in the country in a house with all kinds of animals! I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life big and small! I even had a pet squirrel and raccoon that we had to nurse back to health! I love animals so much. I think they are little angels on earth. I currently have a little maltshi dog that is 11 years old. She is my whole world. I take her everywhere. She is super sweet and also loves having other dogs around since she is an only child. I am currently doing online school so I am at home 24/7. I have a two story townhouse and I live in a community with tons of areas with parks for dogs to play. My dog loves going on walks in the neighbor with me. We also have a huge window (that’s about as big as the wall) that the dogs can look out of and watch squirrels and see our big back yard. I will love your dog like my own. I will walk them frequently and let them sleep with me at night! I have multiple dog beds they can also sleep on. I have tons of dog toys (I think over 50) so they won’t ever need to bring anything. I also have many different types of dog treats so if you say it’s okay I will give them treats from time to time as well. Lil Miss and I will look after your baby. Give them sooo much love and attention and cuddles. They don’t have to ever be in a cage at my place and they can totally sleep on the furniture. My casa is your dogs casa. They will feel at home or like they are on a vacation with me.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Rachel was great from start to finish. She took the time to meet beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she knew everything she needed before I left. During the stay, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was communicative, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I’d definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her!
Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.
Ariela and her husband Ryan watched our indoor/outdoor cats over the Christmas holiday, sending photos and updates. They fed them daily, cleaned out the litter boxes and refilled the water bowls. Thank you both for spending time over the holiday to take good care of all of them!
Ella did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties over the holidays! She thoroughly read the instructions I left her, paid good attention to detail, and kept the house clean. She even cleaned the sink, which was a pleasant surprise! She managed my cats' different dietary needs, including supplements and loading an automatic feeder, and handled one of the cats puking multiple times like a champ (on Christmas, no less!). She was highly communicative throughout her visits, which I appreciated. She's also a great picture taker! She sent pictures in the Rover Cards that really captured my cats' personalities. That showed me they felt comfortable with her, which made me feel much better about being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Ella as a sitter!
I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $11.1 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 244 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sherwood. 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 Sherwood. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
