“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”
“Kelsey was so good with our cats. Lollipop is wary of strangers but I think she warmed up to Kelsey after the first day or so. I think our cats are more comfortable in our home when we travel and I felt like they were in good hands during our time away.”
About: I have been stepping in to take care of pets for the last 5 years. I had cats my entire childhood, but always had neighbors with dogs. I can walk them, scoop poo, and play with them with no issue. I’m a best fit for houses with both cats and dogs, and I’m open to caring for other animals as well (birds, lizards, snakes, etc.) with proper instructions! While in college I pet sit regularly for a dog with high medical needs (seizures, diabetes, etc.) and am very good at following instructions for their medication and care. Overall, I love watching over creatures that some might consider “finicky or particular.” It’s rewarding to help them stay comfortable while their favorite person is away. I’m currently working part time (15-20hrs) as a server, so the days that I work varies week to week. However, I don’t work weekends, and I’m never at work for longer than 8 hours (most shifts are 4-6hours). I can easily visit your pet/house in the morning, go to work, and return to check on them in the afternoon/evening. On days that I’m not working, I can check more frequently and stay longer. I will feed, give medication, scoop litter boxes, and play/walk your pets according to their needs. For general house sitting, I can water plants and bring in mail/packages if requested! For stays that are 3 days+, I will also clean water bowls/food dispensers. I am open to light cleaning (floors, laundry, dusting, etc.) in homes that I’m watching for 3+ days, but for a negotiated rate. If you have pets, I will not clean with anything that is not pet friendly!! I will keep you updated with pictures of your pets, and contact you immediately if any issues arise. I will problem solve as much as possible, but not without you knowing. This should go without saying, but I will never bring any other person to your home!
“Really appreciated Moe stepping up at the last second after another sitter cancelled. She was reliable and helpful and even managed to get a pic of my very shy kitty. Thank you!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, including feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning living areas, and providing attentive daily care. I am comfortable working with animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities and understand the importance of patience, safety, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or needs. I am passionate about animal care and always strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m working part time I have the mornings off I can come and take care of your pets! I’m off all day on Thursdays and Tuesdays. I also have the weekend off. I’m a very active person who loves to go on walks especially with my dog! I have a fence in yard we have four acres of land that we can take walks on. We also have a very safe neighborhood.
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”
About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a labradoodle, just a little over 1, super friendly and good with other pets and people. I’m new to dog walking but I’m super excited to get started. I can be very flexible after 5:30 pm on the week days. I’m free on the weekends other than 11-2. On the weekends (Saturday- Sunday) I’m free besides 11-2 any other times work well for me to walk your pet or just spend time with them. Monday-Friday: 0700-0800 , 6pm-10pm I walk my dog atleast 4 times a day, he is crate trained however he romes free all day. He’s fed twice a day. With treats
About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 478 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smallwood. 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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
