Not only have I cared for my families pets, but I have been dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family since I was around 10 years old. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, axolotls, you name it! I am able to accommodate all types of pets- senior pets, young energetic pets, social pets, nonsocial pets, etc. Shoot me a message! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I usually can be available, so feel free to reach out. Early mornings, late nights or just mid day and evening walks are all good! I am committed to giving your pet the best experience and to being as accommodating as I can. I will follow your lead in the style of care that your pet needs, whether that’s giving it space or staying nearby at all times. I have dealt with many types of pets, such as aggressive ones, hyperactive, shy, skiddish, etc.
“Ashleigh took care of my two corgis. She was great with her communication and made sure to send lots of photos and videos of them! Would love for her to take care of the pups again!”
“Ashley took wonderful care of my two cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Ashley was very reliable and always on time. She gave detailed updates and took cute pictures of my babies. She also was willing to water my newly planted trees. We are so glad to have found such an excellent sitter!”
“From our first contact on, Rachel was friendly, very helpful (this was my first Rover experience, and she made sure I understood how things work), responsible, and caring. I felt entirely safe having her take care of our cats at our home. She did a great job, and sent us some truly awesome pictures! I highly recommend Rachel. ?”
“Christine is a wonderful cat sitter -- reliable, responsive, and so great with Lilah, who is cautious around new people. Lilah felt safe to emerge and interact with Christine by day 2, which is record time! I can tell Christine loves cats, and I felt at ease with Christine dropping in to take care of Lilah's needs. She was very thorough with feeding, watering, washing the used kitty dishes, and scooping litter.”
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.
“It’s so nice to know Tara is keeping an eye on everything when we travel. She gives us a friendly report each day and lets us know if she sees anything that needs our attention. It puts my mind at ease knowing she’s there.”
“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”

Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!
Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my old kitty. She immediately bonded with her (had her out from her “new person” hiding place on day 1, sent great pics, spent time giving her lots of love, had my cat coming out to greet her and give her lots of rubs, and even watered my plants and cleaned up around the litter. She went the extra mile to ask thoughtful questions and kindly cleaned up my porch after a storm came through while I was away. Would highly recommend her-you can leave your fur baby and know they are in good hands!
Ashleigh is an amazing pet sitter! We have used her many times and each time we do, we have peace of mind knowing Ashleigh is taking care of our fur babies when we are away. I cannot recommend her enough! She is excellent with communication and leaves us great notes with details about their food and care. Thank you for everything Ashleigh. 😊
Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country.

Josh is the best! He agreed to meet and get to know our pets first which took the worry away knowing he was kind thoughtful and responsible. He was flexible with the schedule and so good with our rather anxious dog. Our dog actually seems calmer was brushed and well cared for while we were away! and he is even leaving food in his bowl after Josh suggested he may need more food cause he seemed hungry and so we said ok and learned Josh was right maybe that was all it was cause now he doesn’t inhale it in 5 minutes! He also was flexible when I had a last minute thing to do and needed his services for the weekend. Can’t say enough great things really glad I tried this service and was lucky enough to get Josh!
From the first message to our scheduled meet and greet, Mina impressed me with her friendliness, flexibility, and genuine love for cats. She arrived on time, asked great questions, and let my cats dictate the pace of their meeting - no rushing or forced interactions. By the end of just one meeting, my shy and anxious cats allowed her to come close and engage with them. I feel fully reassured and confident that Mina will take great care of them while I am traveling. Highly recommend!
Jessie was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I received updates throughout the visit that were very appreciated as well, and most importantly, the cats were in good spirits. I will certainly reaching out to Jessie again if I find myself in need of a pet sitter.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sherwood on Rover is $22.2 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 .

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.

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.
