“Heather Rea has been amazing ! I left her with a cat in declining health. She communicated every little detail about Nikita’s eating habits and amount of activity. She also gave her massages. I feel very good about Nikita’s care while away.”
“Elaina was very thoughtful and reliable in her care of our two older female dogs. She was highly communicative leading up to our trip and was willing to do an in-person meet and greet beforehand which made everyone more comfortable. She was consistent in her arrival times and respected our home, keeping it clean and tidy for our arrival. We SO appreciate her care during our time out of town! We highly recommend her services.”
“Benjamin was amazing with my cat Pigeon. He's extremely thoughtful, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure my boy was comfortable while I was out of town for the holidays. He communicated every day, sent lots of pictures, and gave my cat the quality human time he very much needs. Pigeon loved hanging with him, and should I need to leave again, I know who to call!”
“Hailey is truly amazing! Hailey cared for both our dog and cats like they were her own giving them tons of love, attention, and playtime. We got daily updates and adorable photos, which made us feel so at ease. Our pets were calm, happy, and clearly adored them. We’ve never felt more confident leaving our fur babies in someone’s care. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Hailey! Highly recommend!!”
“Hannah was fantastic with my cat Winston! I reached out for booking fairly last minute, and she responded quickly and was very accommodating. She came over before my travel to meet us, and was very friendly to both me and Winston. While I was gone, she kept me posted with texts, pictures, and videos. That was awesome just to know Winston was being cared for and in good hands - and he looked so happy in all of the pictures and videos! I will definitely hire Hannah again, and highly recommend her for others!”
About: I have been helping out friends and family with pet sitting for years. I enjoy being outside and staying active, love all animals, and am familiar with administrating medicine to older felines but am willing to learn for dogs/other breeds as well! I work part time as a server as well as a nanny. I have a rather flexible schedule and will be happy to meet clients in the middle with the frequency of potty breaks etc. I have worked with animals of all sizes and am capable of walking large dogs as well as putting them in their crates if needed. I’d be happy to do walks/ or just letting out in a fenced yard for a quick break.
About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid and puppy friendly if sitting happens in my home. I am also great with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting or drop in visits! The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once...and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children and puppies. I have two dog-loving kids under age 5, and we have a super sweet lab puppy, so she is currently small, but growing fast! I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days if you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids and my own puppy). I've always loved my pets as members of the family and I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We allow our puppy on furniture, but I will of course follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
About: I have grown up taking care of a pack of 8 dogs all very high energy. I also have a Brittany (high energy/Anxiety) back home, who I love dearly! I have dog/cat sat since my freshman year of high school and it’s something I love to do! I am currently a college student, So weekends and Tuesdays are the main days I can do. I am a early riser in the morning both on weekdays and weekends! Making sure to not allow the dog/cat to do anything the owner doesn’t allow. As well as making the animal feel comfortable with me in their environment space. Your animal should return to you happy and exhausted
About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!
About: Here’s what sets me apart— and why your dog will love coming with me! These aren’t ordinary around the block walks. Your dog will head into the woods to explore and experience nature the way they’re meant to. From fresh scents and flowing rivers to tall grass and scenic climbs, every outing is designed to fully engage their body and mind. Each hike ranges from 2-5 miles, so your dog comes home truly satisfied and pleasantly tired— not just a little restless and ready for more. Give your dog the adventure they’ve been waiting for! I am available Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm for walks as well as Saturday and Sundays for boarding or walks throughout the day. I have three dogs that love to play with other dogs and exploring the many different mountains here in Vermont. I grew up always having at least six dogs among many other animals so adding more dogs to the pack for the day or weekend isn’t that big a deal. I just want to be able to give someone else’s dog a fun time because all dogs deserve to run around sniffling whatever their hearts desire. Most importantly if your dog is going to board in our home, they MUST be house trained. i know it can be hard to get out during the week for working pawrents. While I don't have a fenced yard your pets will be safe. I make sure to leash any dog before opening the door. I also make sure to take any dog in my care to a safe place where they are able to get the exercise they need.if they are not recall trained dogs will be kept on leashes long enough to still run and play safely!
“Paige was extremely attentive towards our old cuddle bug of a cat who can’t go 10 minutes without attention! She spent extra time with her every day, always sent picture and video updates, let us know how she was doing, and even cleaned up after a bear encounter completely without being asked— major bonus points! She’ll definitely be our go-to sitter in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for pets and currently have a dog and two cats back home, so I understand the daily responsibility and love they require. Having cared for an animal with a disease, I also know the importance of proper treatment and attention. I bring this same level of dedication to every pet I look after, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for on every walk. I’m currently a university student doing research this summer. I have free time in the afternoons and evenings! The weekends are also pretty available for me! I have quite a bit of time to play with your pup/kitty! I will give your pets speciality care! I am a calm and caring person and will make sure that your animal is in the best hands. In my home I ensure that my dog has ample walks each day because I understand how important physical activity is for animals, and I will devote the upmost attention to your pets as well!
About: I love to go on adventures with dogs. I have been around friends and families dogs my whole life. I have done dog walks and potty breaks. I work 4 days a week and would love to help other families out with dog walking or potty breaks. I am looking for something for after work and on my days off. I will show up on time, complete the task as efficiently as possible. I love to play with animal so toys are always with me. I will always clean up any mess I make.
About: Recently moved to VT and looking to make some extra money! I took a pause on Rover but now active again. I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs as I have an adorable 5 year old pup myself! Big animal lover with a passion for providing safe and reliable care. I look forward to meeting your furry family members!☺️ I am available most weekdays and available on some weekends! I am free multiple times a week. I would love to connect and coordinate our schedules. I care for pets in my home with a lot of love and care! I am very attentive and make sure pets feel safe and welcome. I am detail oriented and will make sure your pets needs are met with the proper care.
“We were very happy to have Jaime take care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is always slow to warm up to strangers and Jaime clearly went out of her way to be friend. We really appreciated the photos and informative report.”
“Kristy was great! My cats are shy to strangers but they warmed up to her before the end of the week. My kitties were well cared for. I received a note and multiple pictures of my babies daily. She was very prompt and reliable and followed the instructions I left. She also brought in my mail and watered my plants. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need a petsitter again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Hero on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of June 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 .
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
