“Lukas was absolutely wonderful with Hazel and KitKat. When I got home, even after a horrific rainstorm, they were happy and purring as if I'd never left. I cannot thank Lukas enough for giving my cats such good care. Not only do I highly recommend Lukas to watch your furry friends, I now have peace of mind to know that I have someone I can count on for future visits. Thank you so much!”

“Thomas continues to be the best cat sitter I have ever had. A big winter storm was forecasted after I had already left on my trip and Thomas took extra measures to make sure my house stayed warm and safe for my two cats. It means the world to me to have someone so caring and dependable to look after my cats when I’m away.”

About: Growing up, my family dog was epileptic and required a lot of serious attention. Since then, I have watched dogs and cats for weeks during friends and family’s vacations. I currently work a flexible schedule so I can be mostly available to walk your dogs I would just need a heads up on timing! I do attend school so my availability will be changing once the year begins. I can make your dog feel safe and loved while you are away. I can also make sure they get enough exercise as I love to walk and run!

About: What sets me apart from other is the year of animal handling and experience. I am currently a third year Animal Science student at Umass Amherst, and I am a graduate from Nashoba Techs vet assisiting program in Westford MA. During school breaks I am available most times during the day both weekdays and weekends(I am more than willing to discuss more in detail with specifics if needed). While back at school I am available in late afternoons during week days and most of the day during weekends. I also am not able to keep your furry friend at my home for extended periods of time, but I am more than willing to go hangout with your pal in their own home. I have my own car with a pet seat cover if needed so I am able to take the higher energy pups on some hikes or more interesting adventures. I personally love being outside so don't be surprised if me and your furry friend catch up on some homework in the sun. Also don't worry about bathroom breaks I will make sure that whoever needs it can go outside whenever needed.

About: I have experience with puppy training including friends pups and well as my own. I have worked with shy dogs, bouncing off the wall dogs, big dogs and small ones. I love walks with dogs, snuggles with them, and everything else! Your dog will always be well cared for with me! I’m currently in University, so during the week I have a schedule to work around. However I am available most evenings and I can let dogs out around lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays, and fridays I am available after one. I can do weeknight homestays since I have a car. And my weekends are available for all of the petcare! I can petsit at the clients home. I always keep things clean. I have experience with crate training and I will always follow whatever protocols the pet parent has in place. If the pet sleeps in the bed with them or isn’t allowed on furniture, whatever the pet parent requires I will take into account and follow!

About: Hi, fellow animal lovers. I have years of hands-on experience working with animals of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments. With a background in veterinary medicine and animal rescue, caring for animals has always been more than a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including shy, anxious, energetic, and more challenging animals. I also have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and comfortable. I’m Fear Free Certified, which means I value reducing fear, anxiety, and stress while creating a positive experience for every pet. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your furry companion needs extra patience, medication, playtime, walks, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide personalized care and attention. I know pets are family, and I don’t take the trust you place in me lightly. You can expect compassionate care, reliability, and updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! Animal care is already a big part of my daily life! As a veterinary tech, caring for animals is something I’m passionate about both professionally and personally. I prioritize making time for each pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, or administering medications. I’m organized, attentive, and understand the importance of maintaining pets’ normal routines to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and medication administration as needed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize patience, safety, and low-stress handling. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Bree took great care of my cats. They’ve been pretty skittish around new people and they warmed up to her right away. I was so glad they were in such great hands while I was away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Deerfield is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 .

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 .

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.

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.
