“Jeanette has been great with communication and adore the pictures she sends! She is consistent which is very important and I needed her last minute, she was very accommodating.”
“Sarah is, by far, the best pet sitter we have had. Her updates, pictures and understanding of our pet made our trip so lovely. She will definitely be our go to every time we travel!”
“Tiffany was fantastic! She responded promptly and was highly reliable as a dog walker. She came to our house to meet our dog and discuss his quirks and routine prior to booking. She sent us pictures and updates which we greatly appreciated. Our anxious/reactive dog loved her and it is clear that she is knowledgeable and experienced with all types of dogs. We will definitely plan on using Tiffany’s services again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I grew up on a 118-acre hobby farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life and where my passion for animal care first began. I went to school to become a veterinary assistant and have continued working with animals throughout my adult life, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and care needs. I’m comfortable with senior pets, administering medications, high-energy dogs, and animals that may need extra patience, attention, or specialized care. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I treat every animal like family and strive to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while you’re away. My son is currently in morning preschool, I can drop in anytime between 6:30-12 and again in the afternoon and/or evening. My availability is pretty flexible. I love animals and I promise to care for yours like they were my own. I love taking dogs for walks and giving all animals the attention they deserve.
About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
“Ashley did a great job with my puppy. She is so kind and was proactive in asking where items were in case he had an accident and cleaned up his mess. I would definitely book her again.”
“Emily was awesome! She took great care of our kitties even forming a bond with our skittish one. She is very experienced with pets, trustworthy and punctual. I will not hesitate to book her again for our next trip. Thanks for doing such a great job, Emily!”
“Jillian is so great with my pets, especially my extremely nervous dog. She is patient and compassionate with him, and he seemed to warm up to her right away. Jillian is a great communicator, sending photos and regular updates about the pets. She is a comfort to my dog while I am away, and to myself knowing that my pets are in good hands.”
About: I’m a compassionate and dedicated animal lover with over 11 years of experience in pet care and farm management. From a young age, animals have been a central part of my life, and my love for them only continues to grow. Whether it’s through my own pets or helping friends and family, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. I’m on a mission to create a rescue and horse stall that will not only offer a safe haven for animals but will also serve as a place for children with autism and special needs to experience the healing power of animal therapy. My goal is to create an environment where both animals and people can thrive, connecting through the unique bond that therapy animals offer. What I Offer I provide a range of services with your pet happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care and baths • Dog walking and pet sitting • Specially prepared homemade food tailored to your pet’s dietary needs I believe in offering care that goes beyond just the basics. Your pets will be treated like family, and I promise they will be in the best hands possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. Please feel free to share your preferred schedule, here on rover and I’ll do my best to accommodate both your needs and your pup’s. Thank you. I have a partially fenced yard with a river in the back, and my two pups, Nala and Winchester, are here to keep your dog company—there will be plenty of activities and fun for your pup! For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I do require an up-to-date vaccination record for each pet. I also ask for a brief overview of your pet’s daily routine, so I can maintain their schedule and ensure they stay comfortable and happy during their time with us. Additionally, please feel free to share any important details, such as potential triggers, resource guarding tendencies, allergies, or anything else I should know. I’d love to also hear about their favorite treats, toys, and activities to make sure they have an enjoyable stay!
About: While I'll be new to Rover, i have the utmost care, and love for animals. I make sure I can read their body language to see what they are thinking, since they can't talk. I've been my friends' go-to person for pet sitting and fostering. I'm currently away from my boy during a move, and need some time with pups and kitties! I'd be looking for after-work walks and visits to start with. Possible mid-days depending on location. I'm used to on-leash high energy dogs and long trail walks. I normally let them choose the path so they get to enjoy the freedom of choice. And I ALWAYS pick up the poop! As for cats, I just love them so much. I an experienced with positivity training, so I care deeply about being a good person for your dog and cat. I will never demand, reprimand, or punish the animal. They are another living creature that deserves a voice! This is their time, their walk, and I make sure I am paying attention to them, and the surroundings. I will not be offering in-my-home-sitting, but if needed, I can possibly do pet and house sitting. I'm mostly looking for walking. I have experience house sitting as well, and would treat your home as I would hope someone watching mine would!
“This is the 2nd time Nicole has taken care of our dog, Kai and she has been wonderful with her. We are so appreciative of her help even when Kai is a handful! Thank you, Nicole! We will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future”

“This review is long overdue! I have been using Marissa for about a year now give or take for twice weekly drop ins. I have a senior diabetic pomeranian and a 3 year old highly energetic Border Collie and both of my dogs seem to love Marissa! We always get pictures of our smiling pups and it is clear they have a good time during the visit. Marissa is not only great with our dogs, but she is reliable, trustworthy, and will go the extra mile to accommodate bookings. We never come home to any accidents, and she is always kind enough to bring our packages in front the porch. This holiday season she surprised us with a goodie bag with some things for our dogs AND us! It just goes to show how thoughtful and caring she is. I would absolutely recommend booking with Marissa!”
“Mariah went above and beyond during the mid day drop in visits with our 12 weeks old puppy, always showing up with genuine care and thorough updates. We will certainly be using Mariah again in the future!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was 8 and loved every minute of it. I've frequently walked, fed, played with, and loved my cat, two dogs, and those of my friends, family, and coworkers! I have experience caring for fish as well. I also have experience with basic training commands like sit, stay, lay down, etc. I love being active and outdoors, so I have no issue taking a furry friend along for the ride. I’m a college student home for the summer using this as my daily dog fix + an enjoyable side hustle. Aside from my part-time jobs, I am very flexible. I'll work my schedule around your pets needs! I respect your privacy entirely and promise to go above and beyond for your pets. Pictures will always be provided so you can rest easy knowing your pets are safe and sound.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,297 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sterling. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sterling. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
