About: I've been around animals ever since I was born (dogs, guinea pigs, cats, hamsters), and I've taken care of pets for 20 years. As a kid, I pet sat consistently for many neighbors down my block. I love animals and care deeply about every pet's well-being. Animals make me genuinely so happy and any chance I get to be around them, I'll take it! I currently work full-time with 3 days in the office and 2 at home. I am available evenings (5:30pm and on), mornings (6:00am to 8:00am) and I am flexible on the weekends. I will work hard to accommodate your schedule--so just send me a message and we can chat! Thank you for considering my services. I am most available on the weekends but can accommodate days during the week as needed as I do work from home 2 days a week. I am currently only doing drop-in visits for 30-60 minutes or weekly walking. I am not doing overnight or full house sitting at the moment. I will ensure the best care for your pet in their home by spending time with them, giving them the proper attention they need and, making sure they feel comfortable with me there! You will never have to worry while they are in my care. I will pay special attention to older dogs and dogs that need medication.
“We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.”
About: What sets me apart is my versatile experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Beyond daily care and managing my own two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi, I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies and administering gentle, patient care for senior animals. As a doctoral student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. My daily routine is already anchored by morning and evening care for my two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi. Because I spend a significant amount of time studying and working from home, I can comfortably accommodate midday dog walks, frequent potty breaks, and consistent feeding schedules while providing plenty of companionship. Whether in your home or mine, safety and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean. In my own home, I maintain a calm and safe atmosphere. I have a two-year-old Siberian mix named Jiaozi, so any visiting pets will have careful, supervised introductions, and I can easily separate spaces if needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. No matter the location, I always send plenty of photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
“Elisabeth was a great sitter. We booked her for our two cats and also for some indoor and outdoor plant watering. She was timely, responsive, and took care of pets and home. We had a fluorescent light randomly break (or maybe not randomly considering cats lol) in the basement and she let us know immediately and also took the extra step to clean it up. Would recommend!”
About: I care genuinely for all pets. I have a great deal of experience in my own home or yours. Love and safety are my specialty. I have a full time job. Sometimes I am gone for 8 total hours but most of the time I can come home for lunch mid day and drop in visits as I work for myself and am always in the area. I have a fenced and gated yard. Your dog has the ability to come and go into the yard at all times while I’m home. My gate also locks and if you’re comfortable after seeing my yard setup I can also lock the gate and let your dog go in and out of my house throughout the day while I’m gone too.
About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.
About: I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and behavior, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I adjust to what your pet needs in the moment. I treat every furry friend like family and make it my priority to give them the same care and attention you would. My intention for every animal I care for is to make sure they are happy, safe, healthy, and loved. 🤍 Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time to give dogs the attention they deserve. This means I can be flexible with walks, playtime, and drop-ins, and your pup will never feel rushed. I love spending my extra time playing, walking, and bonding with dogs, so they get lots of care and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. Respect is very important to me, I treat both your home and your animals with the same care I would my own. You can feel confident that your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I always make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and secure, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🤍✨
About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Newstead. 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 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.

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 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.
