“We absolutely love, Michelle! She took the best care of our fur babies, and she sent us some amazingly precious pictures of them while we were gone! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies too ♥️”
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!
“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.”
“I Appreciate Ashleigh Sooooo much! I was so nervous on leaving my boys with someone they haven’t met. But she was no less than amazing. Sent me plenty pictures daily, made sure I was in the loop & even swept where the dogs were ❤️. I appreciate her so much & 10/10 will be the person I use when I go out of town for now on. Now I can really take trips now!”
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!
About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.
“Prompt, professional and a pleasure to work with, Rachel did an excellent job with my sometimes difficult cats. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about her clients and did everything we asked and took steps to make sure they were fed.”
“This kind individual agreed to help with my dogs VERY last minute as a “friend” ditched. She let them out and let them do their own things. I am so appreciate of her!!! Great sitter!! Will definitely use again ❤️”
“Miranda is awesome! My German shepherd puppy is vary wary of new people, and he was best friends with her after the first day. She's made sure he's well exercised, fed, and happy. She is very good about communicating and sending pictures/videos of my dog whenever she visits so I can see how he's doing. She's got a lot of experience so she's been able to give me some pointers/tips that have really helped out.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for 15 years. I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have 2 dogs that are my babies 💜 Pet sitting is something I enjoy doing on weekends as a way to spend time with animals while helping families feel at ease when they’re away. Because I only take on a limited number of bookings, I’m able to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s sticking to their normal routine, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big responsibility. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will treat them as if they were my own by following their routines, providing plenty of love and attention, and keeping a close eye on their well-being. I am committed to maintaining a safe environment by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and communicating promptly if any concerns arise. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be cared for with patience, compassion, and attention to detail while you’re away.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal, volunteer, and pet sitting experience. I currently have a 10-month-old puppy that I’ve raised and trained since puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with young dogs, routines, and daily care. Throughout high school and college, I regularly volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I also walked dogs during college and frequently pet sit for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight care. I’m very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule around my part-time job and love making time to care for pets! I’m usually available in the mornings and afternoons before 3 for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m very dependable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I always treat each home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities, and I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep them happy and secure. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, safe environment while you’re away, while also keeping your home clean, respected, and well cared for.
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: 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.

“Ariela took great care of our cats. She was reliable and communicated with us after every visit. We will definitely ask her first when we need care for our cats.”
About: I have experience watching dogs for family and friends, and I enjoy spending time with them and building a trusting relationship. I enjoy interacting with dogs to help them feel comfortable and safe. I’m going into my first year of college, so I wanted to find something flexible that I would enjoy doing and that would work well around my school schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and are let outside when needed. I also enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel happy and comfortable.
About: I owned dogs for 11 years now. I always had 3-4 dogs at a time, ranging from husky, German shepherd, Maltese, poodle and French bulldog. I am working part-time and trying to transition out of my current job and doing pet sitting full time, so I will dedicate all my time to pet care. I am an animal lover. Dogs cats reptiles, always treated them with respect and will give lots of love! I will end up being one of their new favorite humans.
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Rachel watched our indoor/outdoor cats 2x/day while we were out of town for Labor Day weekend. She sent photos and updates letting us know how they were doing, brought in mail and even a food delivery box which she unpacked for us before putting everything into the fridge. She really cares about our pets, it shows and means a lot to us. Thank you!!!
Michelle is better then great! Not only is she an amazing human, she is an animal whisperer! This is the second time we've used her and our girl loves her so much! She is prompt, listens to requests, and goes out of her way to help out! She gives undivided attention to your babies and any special requests she was able to accommodate for us! Please book with Michelle, please tip her, and please leave a review! She deserves it!
Ashleigh was great! She sent really good and detailed updates about our 3 cats. I loved seeing the photos she took during the visits. She took special care to make sure my shy kitty, Missy, didn’t miss out on food just because she is a little anxious with new people. The pictures she took of her under the bed were so funny 😆 when I got home, the cats were happy and healthy and didn’t seem stressed at all. They give her 5 stars too ❤️
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 $13.32 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 256 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
