“Avery was the best! She took such good care of my kitten while I was away. She made sure she was taken care of and spent so much time with her getting all her kitty energy out. She kept me in the loop on everything and sent my the most gorgeous photos. I can’t wait to have her back with Phoebe again!”

“Marley just continues to astound me with . . . I don't even want to call it service, that makes what she does sound so little. She genuinely cares about my pet, and takes such an obviously heartfelt approach to pet care and is always such a joy to work with. She even went out of her way to buy some supplements for my boy that his ding dong of a human forgot to get before going on the road! Amazing. Can't thank you enough, Marley!”

“Destiny was terrific! I had a last minute work trip and needed extended care for my cat. She was extremely accommodating and took wonderful care of him. He took to her immediately which is rare for him. Destiny was extremely flexible as plans changed due to a blizzard that impacted the area. She followed all instructions for the cat and treated my place like it was her own — it was spotless when I got back. Thank you, Destiny!”


“Tara did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! She provided us with detailed updates and photos every visit and was excellent with communication. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Madalys was so kind and sweet with our kitties. It was our first time leaving them with anyone and It couldn’t have been better. They seemed happy to see her! Thank you Madalys.”

“Ellie was an awesome sitter for my cat Merlin. She was very communicative, flexible with our meet and greet, and sent me plenty of photos while we were away. Merlin was in great hands. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her services again during our next trip!”

“Charlotte was great! So dependable and easy going letting out our precious Pomeranian who is anything but easy going. Charlotte persisted to earn her trust and slowly Poppy warmed up. We will absolutely use Charlotte again. We feel very lucky to have come across her wonderful Pet Sitting Services.”

“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!
About: Hello, I’ve always been an animal lover but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Big or small, young or old. They make me happy. They make me smile. Their unconditional love and loyalty is a priceless gift. I will treat your dog with care and affection they deserve. You can count on me to be there for them when you can’t. Thank you I am currently working part time which will give me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I will make sure that they are taken care of and happy. I will treat your pets with love and care. I will pay attention to their needs and wants, and make sure that they are safe and happy.
About: I have been babysitting for my neighbors, friends, and family. They really rely on me to take care of their babies when they are on vacation, at work, or running late. They have also asked me to run home and take care of their animals. I'm currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups! I'm available on the weekends and weekdays. I have a multiz male dog who is very friendly and playful. He is used to being around other dogs and loves to go to the dog park to play with them.

“Julie was a fantastic sitter for our cat for an extended vacation. She sent pics and kept our cat happy and healthy during the stay. Professional, responsive, and recommended!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals for most of my life and truly believe they are some of the most loyal and loving companions. I currently have a 16-year-old Papillon, and I was blessed to have my Pit Bull for 13 wonderful years before she passed away last year. Caring for senior dogs has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for my sister’s two Bengal cats, whom I lived with and helped care for over the course of two years. This has given me experience with both dogs and cats and an understanding that every pet has a unique personality and needs. In addition, I worked at Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. That experience strengthened my ability to multitask, remain calm in busy environments, and ensure every dog received the attention, affection, and care they deserved. During the school year, I work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule. I adapt quickly to new routines and understand how important it is for pet owners to know their furry family members are in safe, caring hands. When caring for your pets, I will treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, respect, and lots of love. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to make time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. My day usually starts at 5:30am or 6:00am and ends by 4pm, with my weekends being free and many holidays off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided to ensure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. I’m very neat, organized, and respectful of the home, and I always treat it as if it were my own. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed at all times, keep a close eye on pets when they’re outside, and stay alert for any wildlife or other potential hazards. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining a clean and well-cared-for home environment.

Kimberly is a great pet sitter! She is friendly, kind, and caring. She cares for the animals like one of her own, and has a great attention to detail. She’s also very communicative and responsible. One of my cats who she took care of is particularly shy and usually hides from the pet sitters, but with Kimberly, my shy cat Beans came right out. A testament of Kimberly’s skills as a pet sitter. 🩷🐱

Katie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats when we were out of town for a week! Great communication, very reliable and personable. It was fun to get to see the cats warm up to her in the pictures as the week progressed. We would definitely book her again.

As of September 2026, there are 1,984 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Southport. 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.
