“We have two elderly cats that Christina took care of for over a week. I was so nervous to leave, but her attention to detail, kind spirit, responsible nature, and overall connection with cats was evident in our introductory visit. She went above and beyond while we were gone, and we will be using Christina again in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have always loved being around them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities and enjoy playing, going on walks, giving lots of attention, and snuggling with them. I currently work part-time, and my schedule varies from week to week. I receive my work schedule about two weeks in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care ahead of time. Even on days I work, I may still be available for visits depending on my shift. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether they need walks, playtime, meals, medication reminders, crate time, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to provide the care they’re used to.

About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!

About: I have had dogs all of my life. I love animals and want to make sure they all feel safe and loved at all times. I am passionate about taking the best care of all animals. I would rather tell someone that their animal was not happy to see me and not fulfill a wish than to make an animal do something they do not want to do. I take my time and always put the animal first, no matter what. I currently have a full-time job working with kids on the Autism spectrum, so pet care would be able to fit into my schedule evenings and weekends. I love animals, so I don’t mind! I live in an apartment that allows dogs, but most of the time I will be with your animal in your home. I treat all animals like they are family members, so I will always treat your animal with the utmost love and respect.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10 years old! I helped train and take care of my family dog since she was a puppy, and I still do when I visit home. I have also recently fostered a puppy, so I am familiar with the concept of constant and longer term pet care. I am a teacher in the Columbia area, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I am available weekdays after 4 pm, and my weekends are pretty open, with the exception that I am out of town or on school break. I have a house with space and a fenced in yard, ideal for pets. I can let your pets out, walk them, feed them, and crate them if needed, as I have done all of the above for pets in my care.

About: Hi! I'm Esther--your pet's soon-to-be new favorite human I have 3 years of experience working in doggy daycares, where I cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I've also spent about a year pet sitting, caring for dogs, cats, and other animals in home environments. I'm confident reading animal body language, which helps me understand how they're feeling and respond in a way that keeps them comfortable and respected. My top skills include creating a calm and reassuring environment, using a gentle and patient approach, and always being responsible and safety-focused. I'm kind, empathetic, and attentive, and I always treat every pet like my own. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for with me. My schedule is fairly flexible, which allows me to work with a variety of pet-care needs and I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and find a schedule that works best for everyone. When caring for pets in their home, I make their safety and comfort my first priority. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules their owner has provided.

About: I’ve worked at boarding facilities, horse farms, and currently vet clinics. I’ve been working at vet clinics for the past 8 years and 5 of those as a Licensed Veterinary Nurse. And because of that, I’ve worked with several breeds of cats AND dogs! I truly care about every animal’s well being. Doing what I love while having a source of income has been a dream come true for me! Availibility For The Week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (midday may be possible- availability restricted, but can be discussed based on distance) Wednesday afternoons after 3pm Fridays after 3pm Weekends- After Noon Pet safety is my number one priority! I have also done my best to accommodate every particular detail that is needed (within reason). Example: If your pet only goes outside if you give a treat first, then it’ll be done.

About: I grew up in a house with seven big dogs and three cats, so I am very comfortable handling large breeds and multiple personalities at once. Currently, I have two cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how to care for animals. Over the last four years, I have provided reliable care for both dogs and cats. This includes a three-year period as a go-to sitter for one family’s dog and a full year of dedicated cat-sitting for another. Whether it is sticking to a strict feeding schedule or making sure a high-energy dog gets enough exercise, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am observant, dependable, and will always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I would love to help make sure your pets feel loved and well-cared for. Since I am currently working from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I can easily accommodate mid-day walks, specific feeding times, or provide extra company for pets who do not like being alone. My routine is built around being reliable and available, so I can give your dogs or cats the consistent attention and activity they need to stay happy while you are away. When I am in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining a safe and secure environment for every pet. I grew up in a household with seven large dogs and three cats, so I am very observant of animal body language and potential hazards. I make sure all doors and gates are properly latched, stick strictly to your specific feeding and medication instructions, and provide regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same patience I give my own two cats. Whether it is managing a high-energy breed or a senior pet who needs a gentle touch, I focus on building trust through calm, consistent care and clear communication with you.

About: Hi! I'm a college student from Charleston with a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently live on a farm, so I'm comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, including small and large dogs, cats, horses, goats, cows, and more. I've been around dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with Pit Bulls, and I now have my own Cane Corso named Marley, as well as 3 cats, Mochi, Casper, and Stormy. Because of that, I'm confident handling dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been pet sitting and babysitting since I was 14 years old. Whether it's family, friends, or neighbors, people have trusted me for years to feed, walk, play with, and most importantly, keep their pets safe and loved while they're away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles, I'll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, being that I am a college student. I get out of school at 11 am and go in at 8 am, which means the rest of my day, or the early mornings, can be dedicated to your furry friend. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'll also make sure they always have fresh water, clean up after them, and keep your home tidy and secure. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I'll treat each with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Highly Recommend Christina! Leaving your pet at home is one of the toughest parts of traveling, but after meeting Christina, my worries were alleviated. She is a gentle, kind person who obviously loves cats. My 7-year-old cat, Luna, doesn't normally take to strangers, but she must have sensed Christina's kindness, because the two of them became friends right away. While I was out of town, Christina visited and played with Luna every day. Getting daily photos of Luna was so reassuring, and it was wonderful to know she was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely be using Christina again, and I'm happy to give her my highest recommendation.

On short notice, I was able to get Aaron to watch my housemate and friend for an extended visit this time. Once again, I came back to a happy cat - of course for the first 12 hours he meowed at me at how good Aaron was and why did I come back ... he loves his spa service: daily fresh litter box, water and food.

Alexis was wonderful! I was so nervous about leaving my 8 cats for ten days, but after meeting Alexis, and receiving my first couple of daily reports, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation! I left 7 of my cats (one is diabetic, and needed extra care, so wasn't home), for Alexis to check on daily. She fed them, made sure they had fresh water, cleaned out all the litter boxes, and loved on the ones who would come out of hiding. She looked under sofas, in closets, and under beds, to get pics of the shy kitties! I would definitely want to book her the next time I need a rover! Thanks, Alexis!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - State Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in State Park is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 508 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across State Park. 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 .

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in State Park. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
