We were so lucky to have Kara watch our kitties again when we were out of town. She’s incredibly thoughtful and thorough and always keeps us up to date with pictures and videos of our girls. Couldn’t ask for anyone better! 😊

Joey was communicative, reliable, and extremely caring with my cat and dog during a short weekend getaway. He sent lots of pictures with each walk/visit, which eased any worries that my babies were missing me too much. They both were happy, healthy and excited to see me upon my return, which tells me that they were well cared for and not anxious in my absence. Will request his help with my pets in the future!

I W3S VERY nervous about leaving my dogs in the care of someone as well as allowing someone into my house while I was not there. My dogs immediately came up to her during our meet and greet. She took great care of my dogs while I was away. She sent tons of pictures and she responded quickly to any messages that I sent. She left my dogs and house in perfect shape. I will definitely rebook when I go out of town again! Thank you again Toni!

It was clear that Jeannette genuinely cares & made sure our kitties were happy, comfortable & well cared for. We will be booking Jeannette again & highly recommend her to take care of your pet .

We had such a wonderful experience with Shawn. I contacted her spur of the moment for a trip we wanted to take and she could not have been more accommodating. She was so kind and loving to all of our kitties. She sent us lovely photos of them while she was there for her visits. I am so glad to have met her. We will definitely be using her in the future!! I highly recommend her services to everyone with pets :)

Courtney was so great with Nittany! We had a bit of an unconventional ask to pick Nittany up from our wedding and bring her to daycare and Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was such a huge help on a very busy day.

Alison is the most amazing pet sitter! She always takes such good care of our two cats. She sends detailed daily updates and lots of lovely pictures, which always reassure us that our cats are in good hands. When my husband and I have gone on vacations before and left the cats behind in the care of other sitters, the cats always seem a little sad and stressed when we return. But not with Alison! They always seem calm and happy because she’s done such a good job of making them feel safe and cared for. Now, we wouldn’t trust our cats to anyone else. Thank you, Alison!

About: I am a 26 year old vet tech at Faithful Friends Animal Society and have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was very young. I can care for pets with medical issues and medications as well as other medical treatments. I love all dogs and can deal with more timid dogs if necessary. I can care for dogs, cats, and any other type of pet. I am limited in availability to stay in your home but often can do frequent drop by’s to care for your pet. I would love to get to know your pets! Contact me by text or call any time! I work a full time schedule but am free in the evenings and on the weekends to care for your pets. My regular work days are from 830-530 but they do vary by day of the week. I have a tremendous love for animals and for caring for them as I have made it my career. I have lots of love to give as well as knowledge in vet care and good communication while you are away, which can be over texts or calls or any way convenient. I am comfortable house sitting your home and caring for plants and other house chores. I unfortunately cannot accommodate your pets in my own home as I am a renter.

This was our first time using Rover and Rebecca, someone other than family to care for our pups, one of our pups is Medical Needs. Communication was great, which helped ease my anxiety. The pups seemed happy and perfect when we got home. Great experience!!!!

Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.

About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life who have ranged from sedentary to pulling you down the street! I take time to understand each pets unique needs and make sure that our time together is well spent from the owner's perspective and the pet's! I work full time from 7-4pm Monday to Friday. My availability is anytime after 4pm but before 9pm on weekdays and anytime after 8am but before 10pm on weekends. I live with my fiance who is a veterinary nurse, our 10 year old dog, and 8 year old cat in an apartment. We have easy access to a large park with walking trails and can easily find fun routes around New areas!

About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a responsible and experienced pet owner, dog walker, and pet sitter with over 10 years of experience, I understand the unique needs of every animal. My background includes several years working at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable insight into animal health and well-being. I've even volunteered alongside veterinarians in rural Southeast Asia, assisting with vaccination drives for stray dogs and offering free veterinary care to families. You can trust that your furry friends are in loving and capable hands with me. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pets, whether it's a brisk walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. Contact me today to discuss your pet's needs! I offer a range of personalized pet services: whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm here to help! I'm committed to providing compassionate and professional care for your beloved companions. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and create a customized care plan🫶 As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here. In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park

Stephanie was great! She stopped in as she was scheduled every day. She let me know if there were any issues, brought in my packages and trash cans. She kept me updated with how they were eating, behaving and going potty. I received a lot of pictures and peace of mind. She had no problem doing a meet and greet before we left. Highly recommend Steph for your pet sitting needs!

Toni was very responsive in sending pictures and updating us on Maverick. She visited our place once in the morning and once in the evening. Our cat loved her visits. She spent more time than we carved out because she felt that our cat would appreciate it. We will definitely hire her again to take care of Maverick. Thank you so much!!

Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!

As always, Kara is the BEST. Our Oli was having some tummy problems when we left and Kara kept an extra close eye on her the whole trip. In fact, for the first time ever, Oli wasn’t even that excited when we got home, as she had such a great time with Kara!! Highly recommend Kara and she is our go to sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Simonds Gardens

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Simonds Gardens on Rover is $27.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,674 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Simonds Gardens. 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 Simonds Gardens. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
