“We have worked with Lauren twice now for our fur family. Not only do our animals love her, but she has consistently gone above and beyond to communicate with us and take care of their needs. She sends the cutest photos and helps us feel at ease when we are away from home. I would recommend her to anyone who cares deeply about their pets. She is the best!”
“Molly provided exceptional drop-in care for our cat, Thomas, while we were away on vacation for a week. Thomas is a very affectionate house cat, but he’s usually hesitant around new people. I wasn’t sure if he would come out during her visits, but I needed someone responsible who would maintain his normal routine by providing fresh food and keeping his litter box clean. Molly exceeded every expectation. She sent us daily photos of Thomas enjoying snuggles and playtime with her, along with thoughtful updates about his behavior and how he was adjusting. It was clear she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing Thomas had companionship and comfort while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would recommend Molly to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter who is truly in tune with cats. She is a natural with them.”
About: I’ve happily taken care of dogs of any kind, inside their homes for family and friends for 10 years. I have house sat and done drop ins too. I am currently working full time but we will be home with the pups all evening. I am also able to stop in on my lunch breaks to do mid day potty breaks and some play time. On weekends my availability is much more open and I will be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with the pups. I have 4 dogs of my own at home that I care for and love with my family. I will show the same love and care for your pets as I do with my fur babies!
“Jennifer did a great job while dropping in to visit with Tucker. She maintained clear, prompt, and timely communication. We will definitely use Jennifer again in the future.”
About: I have lived in a home with a dog or cat since I was 3 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats over the last 7 years, whether that be visiting their home during the day, staying in their home overnight, or bringing the pet to my own home. I love animals and am always respectful of people’s homes, care instructions, and boundaries. I currently work from home part time as a freelance video editor, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to fit animal care into my schedule and am very dependable. I have visited and even stayed overnight at many people’s homes to care for their pets. I’m always very respectful of people’s spaces, their care instructions, and their boundaries.
About: Hi! I’m Sidnie, a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs, and I understand how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. One of the biggest reasons I joined Rover is because two of my own dogs have anxiety in boarding and daycare settings. Finding someone I trust to care for them in the comfort of our home has always been important to me, and I want to provide that same peace of mind for other pet parents. Although I’m newer to Rover, I’ve spent the past eight years caring for my own pets every day. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I work downtown Indianapolis on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and remotely the rest of the week, giving me the flexibility to spend more quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking, and I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. I work remotely most of the week, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with pets throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, I’m in downtown Indianapolis from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and I work from home the rest of the week. Every pet is different, so I carefully follow your care instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s medications, feeding schedules, potty breaks, or favorite walking routes, I’ll care for your pet the way you do.
“Juliet has lifted weight off our shoulders! She has watched our cats multiple times while we’ve been out of town and has provided them with wonderful care. She is great with communication/ keeping us updated. Our cats never seem stressed when we return home.”
“This is our 4th time having Amanda watch our two cats. Every time we go out of town, I hope that she is available because we trust her to take great care of them. One of our cats had just been to urgent care a couple days before we had to leave, and we felt 100% comfortable knowing Amanda would keep a watchful eye on him and let us know of any concerns. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Marilyn did a great job doing drop-in visits for our dogs for a week. She was very responsive and took good care of them, sending lots of pictures and videos to us as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
“I have been so impressed with Destinee and the care she has provided to my senior dog! She always sends good updates/pictures, and I trust her to take good care of my boy. She has even brought in packages without me asking!”
About: Having been around a variety of animals for my entire life I appreciate the joy and place they hold in their family’s lives. My own soul dog (Sheltie named Finn) passed away in 2025 and he is dearly missed. Though he is gone, my love of animals has never changed. These days I paint animal portraits for shelter donations, care for the pets of family/friends, and now I serve to help those seeking an aid for their furry family member. Every family deserves to know their animal(s) are being cared for with the utmost respect. That is the level of responsibility I take when I will accompany your pet on a walk or to check on them during the day. There is also plenty of room for play and affection! They are your family and deserve to be treated as such. I am currently working part-time weekdays until 2 pm. After work, I am available to assist in the care of animals by walking or checking on their welfare. The first thing I do when arriving is ensure that all animals within the home are well by observing them. Once that is assured, I take the time to let them adjust to my presence by allowing them to meet me on their terms. Afterwards, I ensure water bowls are changed or topped off, litter boxes are emptied if needed, and prepare any dogs for their walks.
“Tilmer is an excellent sitter! He took great care of my cats and provided detailed drop in updates. He sent photos and let me know how they were doing. He even took care of any messes they made in the kitchen and brought packages in for us. He’s very kind and the kitties loved him! Will definitely book with him again.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Elizabeth! She watched my three dogs over the weekend—including my puppy—and took amazing care of them. She was kind, reliable, and clearly experienced. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy can be a handful, but she was so patient and attentive, and all three of my dogs absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and will be booking her again.”

Julia is very friendly and professional. She will also give the effort for the more challenging tasks. In my case, she was able to get my cat to take his pill medicine which can be difficult at times. Further, she follows directions well without the need to repeat. Was great to work with her.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Smith Valley on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 1,278 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smith Valley. 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.

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.
