“Hayley looked after our dog for a long weekend while we were away. She was fantastic! She did a great job writing updates and sharing photos, and also did a lovely job engaging with our neighbors! Thanks Hayley!”
About: I love working with animals because I can advocate for them as they don’t speak the same language as us. I graduated with a degree in Animal Science and currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I bring both knowledge and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I’m trained to notice when something may be off whether it’s changes in behavior, appetite, or physical signs and I’m comfortable doing basic checks like gentle palpation. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I treat every animal like my own. I am available for full-weekend care and Weekday evening visits. Because I work a standard 9–5 schedule during the week, I dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays and weekday evenings to giving your pets my undivided attention! Feel free to reach out though, I can be flexible :) My top priority is providing care that respects both your home and your pet’s established routine. I strictly follow all owner instructions to ensure boundaries are never crossed, as I want both you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and at ease.
“Michelle offered a meet and greet before she cared for my dog, which I greatly appreciated. She was on time to let my pup out, sent photos, and made me feel extremely comfortable about the level of care she gave. I highly recommend Michelle and will call on her again to look after Mia.”
“Amethyst was so attentive to my needs and concerns while I was out of town. Like any cat mom I get nervous to leave my fur baby alone with just anyone but my little guy was in good hands!”
About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I also absolutely love puppies and have plenty of patience for their energy, playtime, and little accidents along the way! Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just cuddle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule with having classes very spaced out throughout the day. I am able to stop by at almost any time. Since I’m a college student, I’m not able to have pets stay with me in my dorm, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles while giving them lots of attention and care. I want every pet to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures!
About: I value the care of all my pet sitting clients and have clients who have been with me for over 10 years. I have availability for some new clients and a great background in care from attending vet tech school. Feel free to contact me! I have very flexible availability due to working for myself managing an equine facility. I take great pride in the level of care i offer! I offer care of every level needed for your furry friends! I have many references along with 20 years experience pet sitting. From puppies and kittens to rabbits and dogs of all sizes I have experience pet sitting all!
About: I've had several pets since I was young, but many of which I had to let go due to frequent moving and lack of accommodation. My forever friend however was a chihuahua belonging to my aunt/uncle that I loved dearly but unfortunately passed from old age. I have experience in basic command and obedience training. My main skillset is my patience, I believe that's a key trait for anyone looking to care for pets as they do require a lot of supervision and mistakes are inevitable until they can fully develop self-control and obedience through careful and loving training and attention. Currently, studying to obtain a skillset in programing, I have additional time on hand when outside of studies which I can use for additional income. Studies are at my pace, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and still fulfill my obligations. I'll ask some intake questions about any special care or concerns owners might have and follow up with additional questions about the pets regular habits. I can provide most forms of care, like a safe environment, regular feedings, medicine administration, basic training, bathroom breaks, and just general company. I have a yard, though it is partially open, but nearby is a fenced park that I can visit for those comfortable with their dog socializing with other canines.
About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!
About: I’ve been around animals since the beginning of my life. I grew up with cats & dogs, small & large. I started learning about dog training in 2020, I trained my first service dog in 2022. I’m always working to learn more & continuously improve my knowledge. Body language is a huge factor when it comes to taking care of dogs & making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I’m great with puppies as well & can help out with basic training. Any questions please feel free to ask! I work from home, so I start my day by taking my dog out to our apartment property’s dog park to use the bathroom, & get play time in, then I bring him in to feed him breakfast. If dog parks make you uncomfortable, I can always take your dog when the parks unoccupied. For meal time I make sure all dogs are separated from each others food. If your dog has trouble eating I always keep toppers on hand or different types of food such as, raw/cooked/air dried/& freeze dried. In the case there’s a medical emergency we have an emergency vet 15 mins down the road. If your dog needs to be crated when left unsupervised or for bedtime we have a crate sized for medium/large breeds. Animals are allowed on furniture & the living room is dog proof with lots of toys & beds, we keep the kitchen & bathroom off limits to prevent anyone from getting into something they’re not supposed to have. My dog has also been trained to be gentle with small animals as well to make sure everyone is comfortable & safe in their environment. If your dog eats too fast I offer slow feeders in my home.
About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. First, a yellow lab named Lucy & then another named Evie. Now, my family has taken on a Bernese Mountain Dog named Josie who is just the goofiest ever. In all the years of having a dog, I’ve been able to help out on walks, taking them to appointments and just lovin’ on them. With Josie, I have helped crate train her and teach her tricks in her puppy years and now being 3, I take her on daily walks (sometimes she walks me, she’s so strong!), car rides, to appointments, etc. My sister describes our relationship as “besties.” No matter the pup, I love being their friend! I have been able to watch different pups, young and old, small and big & love every second with any of them. I’m currently working part time and have availability to love on and care for any pups or cats! I am always happy to shift things around to get to walk, watch, play or stay with any of your pets. I currently cannot house pets in my home since I just moved here and there are currently no pets allowed :( but I am more than happy to travel to your home to make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I know how important routine is to pets (especially dogs) and like to know that they feel safe in their environment and schedule. Especially for pets I’ve just met, I ease into their space and let them warm up to me so they feel safe. When it comes to walking pups, I let them go at their own pace and always make sure they’re leashed with treats on hand. I am always down for a pet snuggle too if they let me!
“Eden did a great job caring for my cats. It was reassuring to see the picture of my nervous kitty come out for her during the first visit! She went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Slocum
Emily was very kind and thorough in following my numerous asks and the cats seemed to take right to her. I have an easy younger male cat (Grey) and an older female cat with medication requirements. Emily ensured all meds were delivered (topical ear cream, two pills, and an oral liquid medication) and I couldn’t have felt more secure while I was away for the weekend!
I am so happy I found Emily! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous leaving my dog and cat in the care of a new person. Emily was so kind, thoughtful, and caring from our first interaction over the phone, to our meet and greet, and throughout her visits with my pets! She was attentive to details and thorough in her visit notes and photos, which made me feel so at ease. We will definitely be booking Emily again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Slocum is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $46 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
